**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

**1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation** 

**Description of the Business** 

We are a leading, integrated, downstream and midstream energy company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. We operate one of the nation's largest refining systems. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market and to independent entrepreneurs who operate branded outlets. We also sell transportation fuel to consumers through direct dealer locations under long-term supply contracts. MPC's midstream operations are primarily conducted through MPLX, which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX. In addition, we produce and market renewable diesel in the United States.

Refer to Note 3 for additional information on MPLX and Note 9 for additional information about our operations.

**Basis of Presentation**

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and disclosures derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries, including MPLX. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Due to our ownership of the general partner interest of MPLX, we have determined that we control MPLX and therefore we consolidate MPLX and record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public. Changes in ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries that do not result in a change in control are recorded as equity transactions. Investments in entities over which we have significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. This includes entities in which we hold majority ownership but the minority shareholders have substantive participating rights.

**2. Accounting Standards**

**Not Yet Adopted**

***ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)***

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under ASC 350-40 by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requiring entities to begin capitalizing software costs when both management has authorized and committed to the funding of the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. This ASU also provides enhanced guidance on evaluating whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either (1) prospectively to all projects started in reporting periods after adoption, including in-process projects, (2) on a modified transition basis that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption, or (3) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We will adopt this ASU on a prospective basis and do not expect material impacts to our capitalized software cost.

***ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses***

In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU to require more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures.

**3. Master Limited Partnership** 

We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX, which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner interest and, as of March 31, 2026, we owned approximately 64 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.

**Unit Repurchase Program**

On August 5, 2025, MPLX announced its board of directors approved a $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization in addition to the $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization announced on August 2, 2022. These unit repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, |
| *<u>(In millions, except per unit data)</u>* | 2026 | 2025 |
| Number of common units repurchased | 1 | 2 |
| Cash paid for common units repurchased | $50 | $100 |
| Average cost per unit | $56.63 | $52.48 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, MPLX had approximately $1.07 billion remaining under its unit repurchase authorizations.

**Agreements** 

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to us. With certain exceptions, these agreements generally contain minimum volume commitments. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions among our Refining & Marketing, Renewable Diesel and Midstream segments. We also have agreements with MPLX that establish fees for operational and management services provided between us and MPLX and for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided by us to MPLX. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between corporate and our Midstream segment.

**Noncontrolling Interest**

As a result of equity transactions of MPLX, we are required to adjust non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital. Changes in MPC's additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in its ownership interests in MPLX were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, |
| *<u>(Millions of dollars)</u>* | 2026 | 2025 |
| Increase (decrease) due to change in ownership | $(21) | $39 |
| Tax impact | 7 | (14) |
| Increase (decrease) in MPC's additional paid-in capital, net of tax | $(14) | $25 |

---

**4. Acquisitions and Other Transactions** 

***Northwind Midstream Acquisition***

On August 29, 2025, MPLX completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the outstanding membership interests of Northwind Delaware Holdings LLC ("Northwind Midstream") for $2.4 billion in cash (the "Northwind Midstream Acquisition"). Northwind Midstream provides sour gas gathering and treating services in Lea County, New Mexico, which enhances MPLX's Permian natural gas and NGL value chain. The Northwind Midstream Acquisition was financed with a portion of the net proceeds from MPLX's $4.5 billion senior notes issuance in August 2025.

Northwind Midstream consists of over 200,000 dedicated acres, more than 200 miles of gathering pipelines, two in-service acid gas injection wells at 20 MMcf/d and a third permitted well that will bring its total capacity to 37 MMcf/d. At the time of acquisition, the system had 150 MMcf/d of sour gas treating capacity, with in-process expansion projects expected to increase capacity to over 400 MMcf/d by the second half of 2026. The system is partially supported by minimum volume commitments by regional producers.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

The Northwind Midstream Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination requiring all Northwind Midstream assets and liabilities to be remeasured to fair value. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based primarily on the cost approach. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was primarily based on the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The intangible assets acquired are related to various commercial contracts with a weighted average amortization period of 15 years. The following table reflects our preliminary allocation of the $2.4 billion purchase price to the Northwind Midstream assets and liabilities, as well as measurement period adjustments since the acquisition date:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *<u>(In millions)</u>* | August 29,<br>2025 | Adjustments | As adjusted |
| **Assets acquired:** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash and cash equivalents | $17 | $— | $17 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Receivables | 11 |  | 11 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other current assets | 1 |  | 1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment | 1182 | (15) | 1167 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Intangibles | 951 | 6 | 957 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other noncurrent assets | 2 |  | 2 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total assets acquired | 2164 | (9) | 2155 |
| **Liabilities assumed:** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts payable | 105 | 9 | 114 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other current liabilities | 1 |  | 1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term operating lease liabilities | 1 |  | 1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liabilities assumed | 107 | 9 | 116 |
| **Total identifiable net assets** | 2057 | (18) | 2039 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill | 356 | 4 | 360 |
| **Fair value of net assets acquired** | $2413 | $(14) | $2399 |

---

The allocation is subject to revision, as certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, the final valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets acquired, which may impact the amount of goodwill recognized. The final valuation will be completed no later than one year from the acquisition date. The results for the acquired business are reported within our Midstream segment.

The purchase price allocation, inclusive of measurement period adjustments through March 31, 2026, resulted in the recognition of $360 million in goodwill by our Midstream segment, all of which is deductible by MPLX for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the accelerated growth opportunities in the Permian using Northwind Midstream's asset base, which is complementary and adjacent to MPLX's existing Delaware basin natural gas system and offers optionality to direct volumes through our integrated system.

Pro forma financial information assuming the Northwind Midstream Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of the acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes.

***Divestiture of Rockies Operations***

On November 12, 2025, MPLX completed the sale of its Rockies gathering and processing operations (the "Rockies") to a subsidiary of Harvest Midstream ("Harvest") for $980 million in cash. The sale of these non-core gathering and processing assets did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a material effect on our operations or financial results. Prior to the sale, the Rockies operations were included in our Midstream segment.

***Sale of Interest in Ethanol Joint Venture***

On July 31, 2025, MPC sold its 49.9 percent interest in The Andersons Marathon Holdings LLC ("TAMH") to The Andersons Ethanol LLC, in exchange for cash proceeds of $427 million. MPC's equity method investment in TAMH was previously reported in the Refining & Marketing segment. Upon closing, MPC derecognized the carrying value of the equity method investment of $173 million.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

***BANGL, LLC Acquisition***

On July 1, 2025, MPLX purchased the remaining 55 percent interest in BANGL, LLC ("BANGL") for $703 million in cash, plus an earnout provision of up to $275 million based on targeted EBITDA growth from 2026 to 2029 (the "BANGL Acquisition"). We recorded a liability for these contingent payments in the third quarter of 2025. See Note 14 for additional detail on the inputs used to measure the fair value of these contingent payments. On July 3, 2025, MPLX used cash on hand to extinguish approximately $656 million principal amount of debt outstanding, including interest, related to certain term and revolving loans assumed as part of the BANGL Acquisition (the "BANGL Debt Repayment").

Upon acquisition of the remaining 55 percent interest in BANGL, MPLX's existing equity investment was remeasured to fair value. The fair value of the previously held equity method investment was estimated using an income approach, with significant valuation inputs including forecasted cash flows and discount rates ranging from 11 to 12 percent. As a result of the BANGL Acquisition, MPLX now owns 100 percent of BANGL and its results are reflected in our Midstream segment within our consolidated financial results.

The following table summarizes the purchase price consideration in connection with the BANGL Acquisition:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *<u>(In millions)</u>* |  |
| Total cash paid | $703 |
| Fair value of contingent consideration as of acquisition date | 234 |
| **Total consideration** | 937 |
| Fair value of previously held equity interest | 766 |
| **Fair value of net assets acquired** | $1703 |

---

The BANGL Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination requiring all BANGL assets and liabilities to be remeasured to fair value. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined using a combination of both the cost and income approach. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was primarily based on the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The intangible asset acquired is related to a customer relationship with an amortization period of 11 years. The following table reflects our determination of the fair value of the BANGL assets and liabilities:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *<u>(In millions)</u>* | July 1,<br>2025 |
| **Assets acquired:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash and cash equivalents | $18 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other current assets | 4 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment | 1550 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Intangibles | 77 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other noncurrent assets | 22 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total assets acquired | 1671 |
| **Liabilities assumed:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt due within one year | 46 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other current liabilities | 42 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt | 610 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other long-term liabilities | 1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liabilities assumed | 699 |
| **Total identifiable net assets** | 972 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill | 731 |
| **Fair value of net assets acquired** | $1703 |

---

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $731 million in goodwill by our Midstream segment, 55 percent of which is deductible by MPLX for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the advancement of MPLX's wellhead-to-water strategy by securing full ownership of a strategically located NGL transport asset, which further integrates MPLX's midstream infrastructure connecting the Permian and Gulf Coast regions.

Pro forma financial information assuming the BANGL Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of the acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes.

***Whiptail Midstream Acquisition***

On March 11, 2025, MPLX acquired gathering businesses from Whiptail Midstream, LLC for $235 million in cash. These San Juan basin assets consist primarily of crude and natural gas gathering systems in the Four Corners region. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, which requires all the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be remeasured to fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation includes $170 million of property, plant and equipment, $41 million of intangibles and $24 million of net working capital. The results for the acquired business are reported within our Midstream segment.

**5. Variable Interest Entities** 

**Consolidated VIE**

We control MPLX through our ownership of its general partner. MPLX is a VIE because the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights over the general partner. We are the primary beneficiary of MPLX because in addition to our significant economic interest, we also have the ability, through our ownership of the general partner, to control the decisions that most significantly impact MPLX. We therefore consolidate MPLX and record a noncontrolling interest for the interest owned by the public.

The creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC's general credit or assets through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as otherwise noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP LLC ("LOOP") and LOCAP LLC ("LOCAP"), in which MPLX holds an interest. See Note 22 for more information. The assets of MPLX can only be used to settle its own obligations and any rights of MPC's creditors to participate in the assets of MPLX are subject to prior claims of MPLX's creditors.

The following table presents balance sheet information for the assets and liabilities of MPLX, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets.

<sup>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The 2025 period includes purchases of ethanol from TAMH, an equity affiliate, through July 2025. MPC sold its interest in TAMH on July 31, 2025. TAMH ceased to be a related party after the sale. See Note 4.

Sales to related parties, which are included in sales and other operating revenues, consist primarily of refined product sales and renewable feedstock sales to certain of our equity affiliates.

Purchases from related parties are included in cost of revenues. We obtain utilities, transportation services and purchase renewable diesel from certain of our equity affiliates.

**7. Earnings Per Share** 

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to MPC less income allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Since MPC grants certain incentive compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors that are considered to be participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two-class method. Diluted income per share assumes exercise of certain share-based compensation awards, provided the effect is not anti-dilutive.

**8. Equity** 

On November 5, 2024, MPC announced that our board of directors approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. As of March 31, 2026, $3.63 billion remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

Total share repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:

---

<sup>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The average cost per share includes excise tax on share repurchases resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, but the excise tax does not reduce the remaining share repurchase authorization.

**9. Segment Information** 

We have three reportable segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Refining & Marketing – refines crude oil and other feedstocks at our refineries in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast regions of the United States, purchases refined products and ethanol for resale and distributes refined products through transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services provided largely by our Midstream segment. We sell refined products to wholesale marketing customers domestically and internationally, to buyers on the spot market, to independent entrepreneurs who operate primarily Marathon<sup>®</sup> branded outlets and through long-term fuel supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO<sup>®</sup> brand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Midstream – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products principally for the Refining & Marketing segment via refining logistics assets, pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges; gathers, treats, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. The Midstream segment primarily reflects the results of MPLX.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Renewable Diesel – processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, markets renewable diesel and distributes renewable products through our Midstream segment and third parties. We sell renewable diesel to wholesale marketing customers, to buyers on the spot market and through long-term supply contracts with direct dealers who operate locations mainly under the ARCO<sup>®</sup> brand.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates the performance of our segments using segment adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM is our chief executive officer. The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA by segment results and considers forecast-to-actual variances on a periodic basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel as part of the annual business plan process and ongoing monitoring of performance. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses; and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Company by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

**14. Fair Value Measurements** 

**Fair Values – Recurring**

The following tables present assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 by fair value hierarchy level. We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the following tables.

---

<sup>(a)</sup>Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of March 31, 2026, cash collateral of $511 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, cash collateral of $10 million was netted with mark-to-market derivative liabilities.

<sup>(b)</sup>We have no derivative contracts which are subject to master netting arrangements reflected gross on the balance sheet.

Level 3 instruments include a liability for contingent consideration related to the BANGL Acquisition earnout provision and an embedded derivative liability for a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement.

The fair value calculation for the contingent consideration liability was estimated using discounted cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation. Future earnout payments are tied to the achievement of EBITDA growth from 2026 to 2029, which includes the significant unobservable input of forecasted throughput volumes. The earnout payment will continue to be remeasured at fair value each quarter with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until either the EBITDA targets are met or the earnout period ends, with the total payout capped at $275 million.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

The fair value calculation for the embedded derivative liability at March 31, 2026 used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.69 to $2.21 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.85 per gallon and (2) a 100 percent probability of renewal for the five-year term of the natural gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances recorded for net liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

---

<sup>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The loss is included in cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of income.

**Fair Values – Reported** 

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments, historical incurrence of credit losses and expected insignificance of future credit losses, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on average bid prices obtained from broker quotes and is categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying and fair values of our debt were approximately $32.4 billion and $30.8 billion at March 31, 2026, respectively, and approximately $32.4 billion and $31.1 billion at December 31, 2025, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt exclude the unamortized issuance costs, which are netted against our total debt.

**15. Derivatives** 

For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including any effect of master netting agreements or collateral, see Note 14. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges may include commodity derivatives used to hedge price risk on (1) inventories, (2) fixed price sales of refined products, (3) the acquisition of domestic and foreign-sourced crude oil, (4) the acquisition of ethanol for blending with refined products, (5) the sale of NGLs, (6) the purchase of natural gas and (7) the purchase of soybean oil.

The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and the line items in the consolidated balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets.

In March and April 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy accepted MPC's bids to exchange crude oil barrels with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ("SPR"). Under the arrangements, the SPR agreed to deliver 9.7 million barrels to MPC in the second quarter of 2026, with an estimated return of approximately 11.8 million barrels beginning in 2028. The arrangements will be accounted for as derivatives, indexed to forward crude pricing. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives will be recognized in earnings within Cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we made no contributions to our funded pension plans. Benefit payments related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans were $4 million and $14 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**22. Commitments and Contingencies** 

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which we have not recorded a liability, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

**Environmental Matters**

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites and certain other locations including presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance.

Accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $371 million and $355 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in clean-up efforts related to underground storage tanks at presently or formerly owned or operated retail marketing sites, were $4 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

We are involved in environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

**Climate Change Litigation**

Governmental and other entities in various states have filed climate-related lawsuits against a number of energy companies, including MPC. Although each suit is separate and unique, the lawsuits generally allege defendants made knowing misrepresentations about knowingly concealing or failing to warn of the impacts of their petroleum products which led to increased demand and worsened climate change. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories, as well as breaches of consumer protection and unfair trade statutes. We are currently subject to such proceedings in federal or state courts in Delaware and Oregon. The pending cases are: *Delaware ex rel. Jennings v. BP America Inc., et al*.,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

(Del. Super. Ct.) (date instituted September 10, 2020); and *County of Multnomah v. Exxon Mobil Corp., et al.*, (Or. Cir. Ct.) (date instituted June 22, 2023).

Similar lawsuits may be filed in other jurisdictions. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters remains uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined.

**Other Legal Proceedings** 

*Tesoro High Plains Pipeline*

In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC ("THPP"), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs ("BIA") relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. After subsequent appeal proceedings and in compliance with a new order issued by the BIA, THPP paid approximately $4 million in assessed trespass damages and ceased use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. In March 2021, the BIA issued an order purporting to vacate the BIA's prior orders related to THPP's alleged trespass and directed the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP's alleged trespass and issue a new order. In April 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (collectively, the "U.S. Government Parties") challenging the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP's alleged trespass. The case will proceed on the merits of THPP's challenge to the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP's alleged trespass.

We are also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to us cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Guarantees**

We have provided certain guarantees, direct and indirect, of the indebtedness of other companies. Under the terms of most of these guarantee arrangements, we would be required to perform should the guaranteed party fail to fulfill its obligations under the specified arrangements. In addition to these financial guarantees, we also have various performance guarantees related to specific agreements.

***Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees***

*LOOP and LOCAP*

MPC and MPLX hold interests in an offshore oil port, LOOP, and MPLX holds an interest in a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, MPC, as a shipper, is required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service their debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The duration of the agreements varies but tends to follow the terms of the underlying debt, which extend through 2040. Our maximum potential undiscounted payments under these agreements for the debt principal totaled $210 million as of March 31, 2026.

*Dakota Access Pipeline*

MPLX holds a 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture ("Dakota Access"), which owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects (collectively, the "Bakken Pipeline system"). In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the "D.D.C.") ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Army Corps"), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement ("EIS") relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued the final EIS in late 2025 and recommended the continued operation of the pipeline. The Army Corps may issue a Record of Decision now that the final EIS has been issued. New litigation may be filed now that the final EIS has been issued.

MPLX has entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby it, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring, such as a vacatur of the easement resulting in a shutdown of the pipeline, to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations.

If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shut down. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the 1 percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of March 31, 2026, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $78 million.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

***Other guarantees***

We have entered into other guarantees with maximum potential undiscounted payments totaling $185 million as of March 31, 2026, which primarily consist of a commitment to indemnify a joint venture member for our pro rata share of any payments made under a performance guarantee for construction of a pipeline by an equity method investee, a commitment to contribute cash to an equity method investee for certain catastrophic events in lieu of procuring insurance coverage, a commitment to pay a termination fee on a supply agreement if terminated during the initial term, a commitment to fund a share of the bonds issued by a government entity for construction of public utilities in the event that other industrial users of the facility default on their utility payments and leases of assets containing general lease indemnities and guaranteed residual values.

**Contractual Commitments and Contingencies**

Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require us to construct natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producer customers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure.

**23. Subsequent Event** 

**Additional $5.0 Billion Share Repurchase Authorization**

On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The authorization has no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

**EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**

**Business and Economic Environment Update**

Our Refining & Marketing segment results for the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025 reflect higher realized refining margins supported by stable demand and higher global product prices, partially offset by derivative losses related to our economic hedging program. Longer term, global demand growth is expected to outpace the net impact of refining capacity additions and rationalizations through the end of the decade. We anticipate these fundamentals, as well as the U.S. refining industry's current structural advantages over the rest of the world, will support a constructive environment for U.S. refiners.

Our Midstream segment results for the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025 were impacted by derivative losses resulting from increased market volatility as well as previously announced acquisition and divestiture activity as we continue to optimize our assets and execute on progressing our growth strategies in the Permian and Northeast. We believe our Midstream business is well positioned and has significant opportunities to support the development plans of its producer customers.

**Strategic Updates**

**Strategic Petroleum Reserve**

In March 2026, the U.S Department of Energy ("DOE") accepted MPC's bid to exchange crude oil barrels with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ("SPR"). Under the arrangement, the SPR agreed to deliver 7.7 million barrels to MPC in the second quarter of 2026 and MPC agreed to return approximately 9.4 million barrels over an estimated period of time in 2028.

In April 2026, the DOE accepted a second bid from MPC for the exchange of crude oil barrels with the SPR. Under the arrangement, the SPR agreed to deliver 2 million barrels to MPC in the second quarter of 2026 and MPC agreed to return approximately 2.4 million barrels over an estimated period of time in 2028.

See Note 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

**Additional $5.0 Billion Share Repurchase Authorization**

On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date. Future repurchases under the authorization will depend on the macro environment, cash available after opportunities for capital investment and growth of the business and market conditions. As of March 31, 2026, MPC had $3.63 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization, which does not include the additional $5.0 billion authorization described above.

See Note 8 and Note 23 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

**Results**

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates the performance of our segments using segment adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM is our chief executive officer. The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA by segment results and considers forecast-to-actual variances on a periodic basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel as part of the annual business plan process and ongoing monitoring of performance. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses; and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

**MPLX**

We owned approximately 647 million MPLX common units as of March 31, 2026, with a market value of $36.95 billion based on the March 31, 2026 closing price of $57.07 per common unit. On April 28, 2026, MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.0765 per common unit, payable on May 15, 2026 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2026. MPC's portion of this distribution is approximately $697 million.

We received limited partner distributions from MPLX of $697 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $619 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, MPLX repurchased approximately 1 million MPLX common units at an average cost per unit of $56.63 and paid $50 million of cash for the repurchased common units. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $1.07 billion remained available under authorizations for future unit repurchases.

See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on MPLX.

**OVERVIEW OF SEGMENTS**

**Refining & Marketing**

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA depends largely on our refinery throughputs, Refining & Marketing margin, refining operating costs and distribution costs.

Refining & Marketing margin is the difference between the prices of refined products sold and the costs of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks refined, including the costs to transport these inputs to our refineries and the costs of products purchased for resale. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for refined products and crude oil,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

commonly used by the industry as a proxy for the refining margin. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly, particularly when prices of refined products do not move in the same relationship as the cost of crude oil. As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we calculate Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads that we believe most closely track our operations and slate of products. The following are used for these crack spread calculations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Gulf Coast crack spread uses three barrels of MEH crude producing two barrels of USGC CBOB gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Mid-Continent crack spread uses three barrels of WTI crude producing two barrels of Chicago CBOB gasoline and one barrel of Chicago ULSD; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The West Coast crack spread uses three barrels of ANS crude producing two barrels of LA CARBOB and one barrel of LA CARB Diesel.

Our refineries can process a variety of sweet and sour crude oil, which typically can be purchased at a discount to crude oil referenced in our Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast crack spreads. The amount of these discounts, which we refer to as the sweet differential and the sour differential, can vary significantly, causing our Refining & Marketing margin to differ from blended crack spreads. In general, larger sweet and sour differentials will enhance our Refining & Marketing margin.

Future crude oil differentials will be dependent on a variety of market and economic factors, as well as U.S. energy policy.

The following table provides sensitivities showing an estimated change in annual Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA due to potential changes in market conditions.

| *(Millions of dollars)* |  |
| Blended crack spread sensitivity<sup>(a)</sup> *(per $1.00/barrel change)* | $1125 |

| Natural gas price sensitivity<sup>(d)</sup> *(per $1.00/MMBtu)* | 360 |

<sup>(a)</sup>Crack spread based on 42 percent MEH, 40 percent WTI and 18 percent ANS with Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast product pricing, respectively, and assumes all other differentials and pricing relationships remain unchanged.

<sup>(b)</sup>Sour crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: ANS, Argus Sour Crude Index, Maya and Western Canadian Select. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2026 will be sour crude.

<sup>(c)</sup>Sweet crude oil basket consists of the following crudes: Bakken, Brent, MEH, WTI-Cushing and WTI-Midland. We assume approximately 50 percent of the crude processed at our refineries in 2026 will be sweet crude.

<sup>(d)</sup>This is consumption-based exposure for our Refining & Marketing segment and does not include the sales exposure for our Midstream segment.

In addition to the market changes indicated by the crack spreads, the sour differential and the sweet differential, our Refining & Marketing margin is impacted by factors such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the selling prices realized for refined products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the types of crude oil and other charge and blendstocks processed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our refinery yields;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost of products purchased for resale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of commodity derivative instruments used to hedge price risk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential impact of lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories in periods of declining prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential impact of LIFO adjustments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost of purchasing RINs in the open market to comply with RFS requirements.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA is also affected by changes in refining operating costs in addition to committed distribution costs. Changes in operating costs are primarily driven by the cost of energy used by our refineries, including purchased natural gas, and the level of maintenance costs. Distribution costs primarily include long-term agreements with MPLX, which as discussed below include minimum commitments to MPLX, and will negatively impact segment adjusted EBITDA in periods when throughput or sales are lower or refineries are idled.

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services for our Refining & Marketing segment. Certain of these agreements include commitments for minimum quarterly throughput and distribution volumes of crude oil and refined products and minimum storage volumes of crude oil, refined products and other products. Certain other agreements include commitments to pay for 100 percent of available capacity for certain marine transportation and refining logistics assets.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

**Midstream** 

Our Midstream segment gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, including renewable diesel, and other hydrocarbon-based products, principally for our Refining & Marketing segment. Additionally, the segment markets refined products. The profitability of our pipeline transportation operations primarily depends on tariff rates and the volumes shipped through the pipelines. The profitability of our marine operations primarily depends on the quantity and availability of our vessels and barges. The profitability of our light product terminal operations primarily depends on the throughput volumes at these terminals. The profitability of our fuels distribution services primarily depends on the sales volumes of certain refined products. The profitability of our refining logistics operations depends on the quantity and availability of our refining logistics assets. A majority of the crude oil and refined product shipments on our pipelines and marine vessels and the refined product throughput at our terminals serve our Refining & Marketing segment and our refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services are used solely by our Refining & Marketing segment. As discussed above in the Refining & Marketing section, MPLX, which is reported in our Midstream segment, has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements related to services provided to our Refining & Marketing segment. Under these agreements, MPLX has received various commitments of minimum throughput, storage and distribution volumes as well as commitments to pay for all available capacity of certain assets. The volume of crude oil that we transport is directly affected by the supply of, and refiner demand for, crude oil in the markets served directly by our crude oil pipelines, terminals and marine operations. Key factors in this supply and demand balance are the production levels of crude oil by producers in various regions or fields, the availability and cost of alternative modes of transportation, the volumes of crude oil processed at refineries and refinery and transportation system maintenance levels. The volume of refined products that we transport, store, distribute and market is directly affected by the production levels of, and user demand for, refined products in the markets served by our refined product pipelines and marine operations. In most of our markets, demand for gasoline and distillate peaks during the summer driving season, which extends from May through September of each year, and declines during the fall and winter months. As with crude oil, other transportation alternatives and system maintenance levels influence refined product movements.

Our Midstream segment also gathers, treats, processes and transports natural gas and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs. NGL and natural gas prices are volatile and are impacted by changes in fundamental supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty, availability of NGL transportation and fractionation capacity and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Our Midstream segment profitability is affected by prevailing commodity prices primarily as a result of processing or conditioning at our own or third-party processing plants, purchasing and selling or gathering and transporting volumes of natural gas at index-related prices and the cost of third-party transportation and fractionation services. To the extent that commodity prices influence the level of natural gas drilling by our producer customers, such prices also affect profitability.

**Renewable Diesel**

Our Renewable Diesel segment processes renewable feedstocks into renewable diesel, markets and distributes renewable diesel and includes joint ventures that produce renewable diesel and renewable feedstocks.

Our Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA is affected by changes in operating costs, distribution costs, throughput and certain regulatory credits.

---

***First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025***

Net income attributable to MPC increased $585 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the following:

Revenues and other income increased $2.72 billion primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased sales and other operating revenues of $2.68 billion mainly due to an increase in Refining & Marketing segment average refined product sales prices of $0.15 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 105 mbpd;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decreased income from equity method investments of $54 million largely due to decreased income from our Martinez Renewables JV of $46 million as a result of planned turnaround activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased other income of $89 million primarily due to approximately $58 million of clean fuel production tax credits, of which $32 million related to 2025 activity, and increased RIN sales of $28 million.

Costs and expenses increased $2.0 billion primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased cost of revenues of $1.90 billion mainly due to increased finished product purchases and unrealized derivative losses related to our economic hedging program; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $84 million primarily due to quarterly fair-value remeasurement of outstanding performance-based stock compensation of $42 million and increased employee related costs of $34 million.

Net interest and other financial costs increased $66 million largely due to increased interest expense, primarily due to higher MPLX borrowings, and decreased interest income.

We recorded a combined federal, state and foreign income tax provision of $183 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by state taxes while the rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to permanent tax benefits related to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and discrete state tax benefits.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $80 million mainly due to a decrease in MPLX's net income in the first quarter of 2026. See further discussion in the Segment Results-Midstream section.

**Segment Results**

We classify our business in the following reportable segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. Segment adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments. Amounts included in income before income taxes and excluded from segment adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) turnaround expenses; and (iv) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

Our segment adjusted EBITDA for reportable segments was $3.01 billion and $2.17 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025***

Refining & Marketing segment revenues increased $2.84 billion primarily due to an increase in average refined product sales prices of $0.15 per gallon and increased refined product sales volumes of 105 mbpd.

Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA increased $888 million mainly due to increased per barrel margins, partially offset by increased refining operating and distribution costs, both excluding depreciation and amortization. Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA was $5.37 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026, versus $1.91 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025.

Refining & Marketing margin was $17.74 per barrel for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $13.38 per barrel for the first quarter of 2025. Results benefited from higher crack spreads, partially offset by unrealized derivative losses related to our economic hedging program. Refining & Marketing margin is affected by our performance against the market indicators shown earlier, which use spot market values and an estimated mix of crude purchases and product sales. Based on the market indicators and our crude oil throughput, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $1.3 billion on Refining & Marketing margin for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our reported Refining & Marketing margin differs from market indicators due to the mix of crudes purchased and their costs, the effect of market structure on our crude oil acquisition prices, the effect of RIN prices on the crack spread, and other items like refinery yields, other feedstock variances and fuel margin from sales to direct dealers. These factors had an estimated net negative effect of approximately $200 million on Refining & Marketing segment adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

We purchase RINs to satisfy a portion of our RFS compliance. Our expenses associated with purchased RINs and included in Refining & Marketing margin were $593 million and $354 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to increased RIN obligations, lower RINs generated and acquired from our Martinez Renewables JV due to turnaround activity and higher RIN costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, refining operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $127 million, or $0.49 per barrel, largely due to increased project related expense associated with increased turnaround activity during the quarter.

Distribution costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $103 million, or $0.39 per barrel, and include fees paid to MPLX. The change in the first quarter of 2026 primarily reflects rate increases and increased third party marine costs.

Refining planned turnaround costs increased $0.30 per barrel, or $76 million, due to the scope and timing of turnaround activity.

***First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025***

In the first quarter of 2026, Midstream segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $122 million mainly due to decreased sales and operating revenues of $86 million. These decreases were primarily driven by derivative losses of $77 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a $37 million non-recurring benefit associated with a customer agreement in the first quarter of 2025, with acquisition and divestiture activity also having an impact.

***First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025***

Renewable Diesel segment revenues decreased $47 million, primarily due to decreased sales volume of 180 thousand gallons per day, due to decreased utilization from planned turnaround activity at our Martinez Renewables JV in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by higher sales prices. Renewable Diesel segment adjusted EBITDA increased $80 million, primarily due to an increase in Renewable Diesel margin, which was $133 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $26 million for the first quarter of 2025, in addition to recognition of clean fuel production tax credits due to clarity on 45Z regulation. This was partially offset by decreased utilization due to planned downtime at our Martinez Renewables JV.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

Management uses financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:

**Refining & Marketing Margin**

Refining & Marketing margin is defined as sales revenue less cost of refinery inputs and purchased products. We use and believe our investors use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our Refining & Marketing segment's operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry's market reference product margins. This measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, Refining & Marketing gross margin or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

**Operating Activities**

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.19 billion in the first three months of 2026 compared to the first three months of 2025. The change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in operating results and a favorable change in working capital of $501 million, when comparing the change in working capital in both periods.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

For the first three months of 2026, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $573 million use of cash mainly due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes, including derivatives, at the end of the period. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in crude oil prices and volumes in addition to an increase in refined product prices, partially offset by refined product volumes. Inventories increased largely due to increases in refined product and crude oil inventory volumes, partially offset by a decrease in materials and supplies inventory volumes.

For the first three months of 2025, changes in working capital, excluding changes in short-term debt, were a net $1.07 billion use of cash primarily due to the effects of changes in energy commodity prices and volumes at the end of the period. Current receivables increased primarily due to increases in crude oil volumes. Inventories increased primarily due to increases in refined product and crude oil inventory volumes. Accounts payable increased primarily due to increases in crude oil volumes partially offset by decreases in crude oil prices.

**Investing Activities**

Investing activities were a net $1.05 billion use of cash in the first three months of 2026 compared to a net $923 million use of cash in the first three months of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additions to property, plant and equipment increased $250 million. See the Capital Requirements section for additional information on our capital expenditures and investments.

See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for a discussion of derivative instruments and associated market risk.

**Capital Resources**

**MPC, Excluding MPLX**

We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner; however, the creditors of MPLX do not have recourse to MPC's general credit through guarantees or other financial arrangements, except as noted. MPC has effectively guaranteed certain indebtedness of LOOP and LOCAP, in which MPLX holds an interest. Therefore, in the following table, we present the liquidity of MPC, excluding MPLX. MPLX liquidity is discussed in the following section.

Our liquidity, excluding MPLX, totaled $5.64 billion at March 31, 2026 consisting of:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2026 |

| Trade receivables facility<sup>(a)</sup> | 100 |  | 100 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $5100 | $— | $101 | $4999 |
| Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments<sup>(b)</sup> |  |  |  | 645 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liquidity |  |  |  | $5644 |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>The committed borrowing and letter of credit issuance capacity under the trade receivables securitization facility is $100 million. In addition, the facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit in excess of the committed capacity at the discretion of the issuing banks. As of March 31, 2026, letters of credit in the total amount of $726 million were issued and outstanding under the facility to secure contracts awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy to purchase crude oil from the SPR.

<sup>(b)</sup><sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Excludes $1.51 billion of MPLX cash and cash equivalents.

We have a commercial paper program that allows us to have a maximum of $2.0 billion in commercial paper outstanding. We do not intend to have outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of available capacity under our bank revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

Because of the alternatives available to us, including internally generated cash flow, access to capital markets and a commercial paper program, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term (less than twelve months) and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, the repurchase of shares of our common stock, dividend payments, defined benefit plan contributions, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

On April 7, 2026, MPC entered into a new revolving credit facility to replace its previously existing revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire July 2027. The new facility is for a five-year term which will expire April 2031. MPC's total capacity under the revolving credit facility agreement remains at $5.0 billion, and includes sub-facilities for swing-line loans of up to $300 million and letters of credit of up to $2.0 billion.

MPC's bank revolving credit facility and trade receivables facility contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants, and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of a similar type and nature. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with such covenants and restrictions.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of March 31, 2026, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt are as follows.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <u>Company</u> | <u>Rating Agency</u> | <u>Rating</u> |
| MPC | Moody's | Baa2 (stable outlook) |
| | Standard & Poor's | BBB (stable outlook) |
| | Fitch | BBB (stable outlook) |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing MPC's debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of our senior unsecured debt could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements and may limit our flexibility to obtain financing in the future, including to refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, a downgrade of our senior unsecured debt rating to below investment-grade levels could, under certain circumstances, impact our ability to purchase crude oil on an unsecured basis and could result in us having to post letters of credit or other security under existing transportation services or other agreements.

See Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

**MPLX**

MPLX's liquidity totaled $5.0 billion at March 31, 2026 consisting of:

On February 12, 2026, MPLX issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.300 percent senior notes due 2036 (the "2036 Senior Notes") and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.100 percent senior notes due 2056 (the "2056 Senior Notes") in an underwritten public offering, The 2036 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.678 percent of par, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on October 1, 2026. The 2056 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 98.453 percent of par, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on October 1, 2026.

In March 2026, MPLX repaid all of MPLX's outstanding $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.750 percent senior notes due March 2026 at maturity.

On April 7, 2026, MPLX entered into a new revolving credit facility to replace its previously existing revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire July 2027. The new facility is for a five-year team which will expire April 2031. MPLX's total capacity under the new revolving credit facility was increased from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion, and includes sub-facilities for swing-line loans of up to $150 million and letters of credit of up to $150 million.

MPLX's bank revolving credit facility contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants, and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. As of March 31, 2026, MPLX was in compliance with such covenants.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile for MPLX. As of March 31, 2026, the credit ratings on MPLX's senior unsecured debt are as follows.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <u>Company</u> | <u>Rating Agency</u> | <u>Rating</u> |
| MPLX | Moody's | Baa2 (stable outlook) |
| | Standard & Poor's | BBB (stable outlook) |
| | Fitch | BBB (stable outlook) |

---

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold MPLX securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating for MPLX, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing MPLX's debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments in the event that MPLX credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades of MPLX

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

senior unsecured debt to below investment-grade ratings could increase the applicable interest rates, yields and other fees payable under such agreements. In addition, a downgrade of MPLX senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment-grade levels may limit MPLX's ability to obtain future financing, including to refinance existing indebtedness.

See Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of MPLX's debt.

Capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily for Refining & Marketing segment and Midstream segment projects. Major Refining & Marketing segment projects include continued high-return investments at its Galveston Bay, Robinson, El Paso, and Garyville refineries. In addition to these multi-year investments, we are executing shorter-term projects that offer high returns through margin enhancement and cost reduction. Our capital investment outlook for Marketing includes continuing to expand the reach and presence of our branded stations in support of strong value capture.

Our Midstream segment capital expenditures and investments in affiliates were primarily focused on expanding our Permian to Gulf Coast integrated value chain, progressing long-haul pipeline growth projects to support producer activity, and investing in new gas processing plants in the Marcellus and Permian. The remainder of our Midstream capital plan targets the debottlenecking of existing assets to meet customer demand. We continuously evaluate our capital plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Capital expenditures and investments for MPC and MPLX are summarized below.

<sup>(d)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Includes reimbursable capital of $39 million.

**Share Repurchases**

Total share repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, |
| *<u>(In millions, except per share data)</u>* | 2026 | 2025 |
| Number of shares repurchased | 4 | 7 |
| Cash paid for shares repurchased | $750 | $1057 |
| Average cost per share<sup>(a)</sup> | $213.45 | $147.87 |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The average cost per share includes excise tax on share repurchases resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, but the excise tax does not reduce the remaining share repurchase authorization.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

From January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2026, our board of directors had approved $60.05 billion in total share repurchase authorizations, and we have repurchased a total of $56.42 billion of our common stock. As of March 31, 2026, $3.63 billion remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase authorization. On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated share repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our share repurchase authorizations.

**MPLX Unit Repurchases**

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, |
| *<u>(In millions, except per unit data)</u>* | 2026 | 2025 |
| Number of common units repurchased | 1 | 2 |
| Cash paid for common units repurchased | $50 | $100 |
| Average cost per unit | $56.63 | $52.48 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, MPLX had approximately $1.07 billion remaining available under its unit repurchase authorizations. The unit repurchase authorizations have no expiration date.

MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

**Cash Commitments**

***Contractual Obligations***

As of March 31, 2026, our purchase commitments primarily consist of obligations to purchase and transport crude oil used in our refining operations. During the first three months of 2026, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2025.

Our other contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and pension and post-retirement obligations, for which additional information is included in Notes 16 and 21, respectively, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and financing and operating leases.

***Other Cash Commitments***

On April 29, 2026, our board of directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share on common stock. The dividend is payable June 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 20, 2026.

We may, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes in the open market, in tender offers, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at such prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate.

**ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS**

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production processes and whether it is also engaged in the petrochemical business or the marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, actual expenditures may vary as the number and scope of environmental projects are revised as a result of improved technology or changes in regulatory requirements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

There have been no material changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

As of March 31, 2026, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED**

As discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, certain new financial accounting pronouncements will be effective for our financial statements in the future.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

For a detailed discussion of our risk management strategies and our derivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

See Notes 14 and 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivatives, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

The following table includes the composition of net losses on our commodity derivative positions as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, | Three Months Ended <br>March 31, |

| Unrealized loss on open net derivative positions | (519) | (14) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net loss | $(909) | $(65) |

See Note 15 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on our open derivative positions at March 31, 2026.

Sensitivity analysis of the effects on income from operations ("IFO") of hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent increases and decreases in commodity prices for open commodity derivative instruments as of March 31, 2026 is provided in the following table.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Change in IFO from a<br>Hypothetical Price<br>Increase of | Change in IFO from a<br>Hypothetical Price<br>Increase of | Change in IFO from a<br>Hypothetical Price<br>Decrease of | Change in IFO from a<br>Hypothetical Price<br>Decrease of |
| *(Millions of dollars)* | 10% | 25% | 10% | 25% |
| As of March 31, 2026 |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Crude | $(80) | $(199) | $80 | $199 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Refined products | (144) | (359) | 144 | 359 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blending products | 3 | 8 | (3) | (8) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Soybean oil | (23) | (58) | 23 | 58 |

---

We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity. Effects of these offsets are not reflected in the above sensitivity analysis.

We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles. Changes to the portfolio after March 31, 2026 would cause future IFO effects to differ from those presented above.

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt, including the portion classified as current and excluding finance leases, as of March 31, 2026 is provided in the following table. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(Millions of dollars)* | Fair Value as of March 31, 2026<sup>(a)</sup> | Change in<br>Fair Value<sup>(b)</sup> | Change in Net Income for the Three Months Ended<br>March 31, 2026<sup>(c)</sup> |
| Long-term debt |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fixed-rate | $31018 | $2561 | n/a |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Variable-rate | $— | $— | $— |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>Fair value was based on market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates for financings with similar terms and maturities.

<sup>(b)</sup>Assumes a 100-basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at March 31, 2026.

<sup>(c)</sup>Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to net income was based on the weighted average balance of debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

At March 31, 2026, our long-term debt was composed of fixed-rate instruments. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of our variable-rate debt, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 14 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of our debt.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. See "Climate Change Litigation," "Tesoro High Plains Pipeline," and "Dakota Access Pipeline" of Note 22 in Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information regarding Legal Proceedings and other regulatory matters.

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than a specified threshold of $1 million for this purpose.

There have been no material changes to the environmental matters previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

The following table sets forth a summary of our purchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 of equity securities that are registered by MPC pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

<sup>(a)</sup>Amounts in this column reflect the weighted average price paid for shares repurchased under our share repurchase authorizations. The weighted average price includes any commissions paid to brokers during the relevant period. The weighted average price does not include any excise tax incurred on the share repurchases.

<sup>(b)</sup>On November 5, 2024, we announced that our board of directors had approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization. On May 5, 2026, we announced that our board of directors had approved an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization, which is not reflected in this column. These share repurchase authorizations have no expiration date.

<sup>(c)</sup>The maximum dollar value remaining has been reduced by the amount of any commissions paid to brokers. The maximum dollar value remaining has not been reduced by the amount of any excise tax incurred on the share repurchases.

**Item 5. Other Information**

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of MPC adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

**Loan and Security Agreement**

On April 30, 2026, MPC Trade Receivables Company I LLC, a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, special purpose subsidiary of MPC ("MPC Trade Receivables Company"), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan and Security Agreement"), by and among MPC Trade Receivables Company, as the borrower, Marathon Petroleum Company LP,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i63b36486c3fe40acb5a70e4860dde94d_7)</u>

a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC ("MPC LP"), as the initial servicer, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as the administrative agent (the "Agent") and a lender ("TD Bank"), Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as a co-syndication agent and a lender ("Mizuho"), and the other lenders, group agents, LC banks and LC participants from time to time that are parties thereto (together with TD Bank and Mizuho, collectively, the "Lenders") pursuant to which it amended and extended its trade receivable securitization facility (the "Trade Receivables Facility").

Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, MPC Trade Receivables Company has $100.0 million of committed borrowing and letter of credit issuance capacity (and additional uncommitted borrowing and letter of credit issuance capacity of up to $1.90 billion that can be extended at the discretion of the Lenders). The Loan and Security Agreement matures on April 30, 2029 and may be extended under certain conditions as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement.

In connection with the Loan and Security Agreement, MPC LP and certain other of MPC's wholly owned subsidiaries ("Originators") sell or contribute on an on-going basis substantially all of the trade receivables generated by them (the "Pool Receivables"), together with all related security and interests in the proceeds thereof to MPC Trade Receivables Company, in exchange for a combination of cash, equity and/or borrowings under a subordinated note issued by MPC Trade Receivables Company to one or more of the Originators. MPC Trade Receivables Company may request borrowings and extensions of credit under the Loan and Security Agreement from time to time for up to the lesser of the maximum capacity under the Trade Receivables Facility or the eligible trade receivables balance of the Pool Receivables. Trade receivables that are included in the Pool Receivables are subject to customary criteria, limits and reserves before being deemed to be eligible receivables that count towards the borrowing base under the Trade Receivables Facility.

MPC Trade Receivables Company has granted a security interest in all of its assets, including the Pooled Receivables, together with all related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to secure the performance of MPC Trade Receivables Company's payment and other obligations under the Trade Receivables Facility. In addition, MPC has issued a performance guaranty in favor of the Lenders guaranteeing the performance by the Originators of their obligations under the Trade Receivables Facility. Neither MPC nor the Originators guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the Trade Receivables Facility.

MPC Trade Receivables Company is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access MPC Trade Receivables Company's assets before the assets become available to MPC. Accordingly, MPC Trade Receivables Company's assets are not available to pay creditors of MPC or any of its subsidiaries (other than MPC Trade Receivables Company), although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Lenders and other creditors of MPC Trade Receivables Company may be remitted MPC.

MPC Trade Receivables Company will pay floating-rate interest charges and usage fees on amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, if any, unused fees on the portion of unused commitments and certain other customary fees related to the administration of the Trade Receivables Facility and letters of credit that are issued and outstanding under the Trade Receivables Facility. In addition, MPC Trade Receivables Company may be subject to default fees upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the Trade Receivables Facility.

The Loan and Security Agreement and other related documentation contains conditions, representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that MPC considers customary for arrangements of this type, including a requirement to maintain compliance with the financial covenant set forth in MPC's revolving credit agreement in effect from time to time.

Certain parties to the Loan and Security Agreement have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services for MPC and their subsidiaries and affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Loan and Security Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.6 and is incorporated by reference herein.

## Exhibit 10.4

**Exhibit 10.4**

**MPLX LP**

**PHANTOM UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT**

**SENIOR LEADERS (CEO, DESIGNATED POSITIONS & EXECUTIVE RESOURCES)** 

As evidenced by this Award Agreement and under the MPLX LP 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), MPLX GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), the general partner of MPLX LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") has granted to **{Participant Name}** (the "Participant"), an Employee and/or Officer of the Company, Partnership or an Affiliate, on **{Grant Date}** (the "Grant Date"), **{Number of Awards Granted}** Phantom Units (the "Award"), with each Phantom Unit representing the right to receive a Unit of the Partnership, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. The number of Phantom Units awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, and the Phantom Units hereby granted are also subject to the following terms and conditions:

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Relationship to the Plan.** This Award 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 Board. Except as 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.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vesting and Forfeiture of Phantom Units.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Paragraph 3, the Phantom Units shall vest as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;one-third of the Phantom Units shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an additional one-third of the Phantom Units shall vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all remaining Phantom Units shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date;

provided, however, that the Participant must be in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date in order for the applicable Phantom Units to vest. If the Participant's Employment terminates for any reason other than one listed in subparagraphs (b)(i) through (iii) of this Paragraph 2, any Phantom Units that have not vested as of the date of such termination of Employment shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Paragraph 3, the Phantom Units shall immediately vest in full, irrespective of the limitations set forth in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 2, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Participant's death;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Participant's Approved Separation, provided that the Participant has been in continuous Employment from the Grant Date to the Approved Separation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Participant's Qualified Termination, provided that the Participant has been in continuous Employment from the Grant Date to the Qualified Termination.

------

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeiture of Phantom 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 Company this Award Agreement, or otherwise electronically accepting the Award in such manner as the Board may in its discretion determine, no later than 11 months after the Grant Date. If the Participant does not timely accept this Award, all Phantom Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited to the Company. In the event of the Participant's death or incapacitation prior to accepting the Award, the Company shall deem the Award as having been accepted by the Participant. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees to all of the terms and conditions of this Award, and consents to be bound by the terms of the Clawback Policy defined in Paragraph 8 to the extent applicable to the Participant under such policy.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution Equivalent Right ("DER").** This Award includes a DER, the terms of which are set forth in this Paragraph 4. During the period between the Grant Date and the date the Phantom Units are settled, for any distributions from the Partnership on outstanding Units of the Partnership, the Participant shall be credited with the equivalent of all of the distributions that would be payable with respect to the Unit of the Partnership represented by each Phantom Unit, including any fractional Phantom Units, then credited to the Participant and the amount related to such credited distributions shall be accrued as a credit to the Participant's account on the date such distribution is made. Any additional cash or Phantom Units credited pursuant to this Paragraph 4 shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Phantom Units to which these distributions relate, including, without limitation, the same vesting, restrictions on transfer, forfeiture, settlement, distribution, tax withholding, repayment and other terms, conditions and restrictions.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Settlement and Issuance of Units.** Subject to the terms of the Plan, all vested amounts payable to the Participant in respect of the Phantom Units, including the issuance of Units of the Partnership pursuant to this Paragraph 5, shall be settled in Units and for cash accruals credited under Paragraph 4, in cash, within 60 days following the vesting date, however, provided that any Phantom Units that vest on account of the Participant's Approved Separation or Qualified Termination under Paragraphs 2(b)(ii) or (iii) shall be released and settled as provided herein, but according to the same payment timing resulting from the normal course vesting schedule set forth in Paragraph 2(a), and in such circumstance the Participant must only be in continuous Employment from the Grant Date to the applicable vesting event (i.e., the Participant's Approved Separation or Qualified Termination is a vesting event and not a payment event). During the period of time between the Grant Date and the date the Phantom Units settle, the Phantom Units will be evidenced by a credit to a bookkeeping account evidencing the unfunded and unsecured right of the Participant to receive Units, subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the Phantom Units. Following vesting and upon the settlement date as described above, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Units of the Partnership equal to the total of the number of Phantom Units granted, with any fractional Phantom Units remaining settled in cash. Such Units shall be issued and registered in the name of the Participant. The Participant shall not have the right or be entitled to exercise any voting rights, receive distributions or have or be entitled to any rights as a Partnership unitholder in respect of the Phantom Units until such time as the Phantom Units have vested and been settled and corresponding Units of the Partnership have been issued. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Paragraph 5, in the event of death, any Units that are otherwise deliverable under this Award (including Units resulting from the vesting of any Phantom Units on account of death) will be distributed to

------

the correlated brokerage account (or the SPS Participant Trust if an international employee) and will be subject to the designated beneficiary on file and then in effect with the recordkeeper for such brokerage (or the SPS Participant Trust, where applicable), or in the absence of a designated beneficiary, to the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taxes.** Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Plan, the Company or its designated representative shall have the right to withhold applicable taxes from the Units otherwise deliverable to the Participant due to the vesting of Phantom Units pursuant to Paragraph 2, or from other compensation payable to the Participant, at the time of the vesting and delivery of such Units. Because the Participant is an employee of an Affiliate, and provides beneficial services to the Company and/or the Partnership through such employment with that Affiliate, such Affiliate as the employer of Participant shall be the designated representative for purposes of payroll administration of the Award and withholding of applicable taxes at the time of vesting.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conditions Precedent.** 

This Paragraph 7 shall apply to this Award notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary. The Participant's services to the Company, the Partnership and MPC and their Affiliates (the "Company Group") are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Company Group, particularly in view of the Participant's access to the confidential information and trade secrets of members of the Company Group, such as, the Company, the Partnership and MPC. Accordingly, in consideration of this Award Agreement and by accepting this Award, the Participant agrees that in order to otherwise vest in any right to payment of Phantom Units under this Award, the Participant must satisfy the following conditions to and including the vesting date and the payment date for each applicable annual installment or other applicable portion of this Award:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, at any time during the term of the Participant's Employment and for a period of one year following the date on which the Participant's Employment terminates (the "Restricted Period"), directly or indirectly, serve as an officer, director, owner, contractor, consultant, or employee of any the following organizations (or any of their respective subsidiaries or divisions): BP p.l.c., Chevron Corporation, CVR Energy, Inc, Delek US Holdings, Inc., ExxonMobil Corporation, HF Sinclair Corporation, PBF Energy Inc., Phillips 66, and Valero Energy Corporation, or otherwise engage in any business activity directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the any member of the Company Group as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant agrees that during the term of the Participant's Employment and for a period of one year following the date on which the Participant's Employment terminates, the Participant will not, alone or in conjunction with another party, hire, solicit for hire, aid in or facilitate the hire, or cause to be hired, either as an employee, contractor or consultant, any individual who is currently engaged, or was engaged at any time during the six month period prior such event, as an employee, contractor or consultant of any member of the Company Group.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant agrees that the Participant may not, either during the Participant's Employment or thereafter, make or encourage others to make any public statement or release any information or otherwise engage in any conduct that is intended to, or reasonably could be foreseen to, embarrass, criticize or harm the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their employees, directors or shareholders; provided, that this shall not preclude the Participant from reporting to the Company's management or directors or to the government or a government agency or regulator (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) conduct the Participant believes to be in violation of the law (including any possible violation of a U.S. securities law) or the Company's Code of Business Conduct or responding truthfully to questions or requests for information to a government agency or regulator (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or in a court of law in connection with a legal or regulatory investigation or proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant agrees and understands that the members of the Company Group own and/or control information and material which is not generally available to third parties and which the members of the Company Group consider confidential, including, without limitation, methods, products, processes, customer lists, trade secrets and other information applicable to its business and that it may from time to time acquire, improve or produce additional methods, products, processes, customers lists, trade secrets and other information (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). The Participant acknowledges that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the members of the Company Group, 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 all or certain members of the Company Group 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 Company's, the Partnership's, or MPC's or other Company Group member's ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company, the Partnership and/or MPC and/or other members of the Company Group. 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 Company, the Partnership and/or MPC and/or other Company Group members in the ordinary course of business; provided that this shall not preclude the Participant from disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to the reporting to the Company's management or directors or to the government or a government agency or regulator (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) conduct the Participant believes to be in violation of the law (including any possible violation of a U.S. securities law) or the Company's Code of Business Conduct or responding truthfully to questions or requests for information to a government agency or regulator (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or in a court of law in connection with a legal or regulatory investigation or proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant agrees that in addition to the forfeiture and clawback 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 7(a), (b), (c) or (d), any unvested or unpaid portion of this Award (including any otherwise vested, but unpaid portion of this Award) at the time of such failure shall be forfeited, and the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.

**8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Award Subject to Clawback Policy.** This Award, and any Units delivered and any Distribution Equivalents paid under this Award, is subject to the MPLX LP Officer Compensation Clawback Policy, effective October 2, 2023, and as thereafter in effect from time to time (the "Clawback Policy"), including, but not limited to, forfeiture and other recoupment as may be determined and applied with respect to the Participant and the Award pursuant to the Clawback Policy. This Paragraph 8 shall apply notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary and is meant to provide the Company, the Partnership, MPC and other Company Group members with rights in addition to any other remedy which may exist in law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, and to the extent not otherwise provided in the Clawback Policy, the Participant agrees that any of the Company, the Partnership, MPC or other Company Group members may also require that the Participant repay to any of the Company, the Partnership, MPC or other Company Group members any compensation paid to the Participant under this Award Agreement as required by any other "clawback" provisions under applicable law.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nonassignability.** Upon the Participant's death, the Phantom Units credited to the Participant under this Award Agreement shall be transferred to the Participant's designated beneficiary, personal representative or estate as provided in Paragraph 5. Otherwise, the Participant may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any portion of the Phantom Units, and any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber any portion of the Phantom Units shall have no effect.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nature of the Grant.** Under this Award Agreement, the Participant is subject to condition that this Award of Phantom Units is voluntary and occasional and this Award Agreement does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards of Phantom Units, or benefits in lieu of Phantom Units even if Phantom Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Employment Guaranteed.** Nothing in this Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights to (or impose any obligations for) continued Employment by the Company or any Affiliate or successor, nor shall it give such entities any rights (or impose any obligations) with respect to continued performance of duties by the Participant.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Modification of Agreement.** Any modification of this Award Agreement shall be binding only if evidenced in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company, provided that no modification may, without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the rights of the Participant hereunder.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specified Employee; Section 409A of the Code.** This Award is intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award

------

to the contrary, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as determined by the Company in accordance with its established policy, any settlement of any amount 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 as provided in section 8(f) of the Plan. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, any settlement of the Phantom Units granted in this Award Agreement that would be a payment of deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code with respect to the Participant and is a settlement as a result of the Participant's separation from service in connection with a Change in Control, the term "Change in Control" under the Plan shall mean a change in ownership or change in effective control for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The payment of each amount under this Award Agreement is deemed as a "separate payment" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. For all purposes under this Award, "termination of Employment" and similar terms shall mean "separation from service" as defined and determined under Section 409A of the Code.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Electronic Delivery.** The Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates including but not limited to MPC and its subsidiaries and Affiliates may deliver in connection with this Award and any other awards offered by the Company under the Plan, including prospectuses, grant notifications, account statements, annual or quarterly reports, and other communications. Electronic delivery of a document may be made via the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' or Affiliates' including but not limited to MPC's and its subsidiaries' and Affiliates' email system or by reference to a location on the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' or Affiliates' including but not limited to MPC's and its subsidiaries' and Affiliates' intranet or website or a website of the Company's agent administering the Plan. By accepting this Award, the Participant also consents to participate in the Plan through such system, intranet, or website, including, but not limited to, the use of electronic signatures or click-through electronic acceptance of terms and conditions.

**15.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Definitions.** For purposes of this Award Agreement:

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the notice requirement under clause (b) of the preceding sentence if the Participant is an Employee under its purview for the grant and administration of the Award, and the Chief Executive Officer of MPC may, in his or her sole discretion, waive the notice requirement under clause (b) of the preceding sentence if the Participant is an Employee not under the Committee's purview for the grant and administration of the Award.

"**Employment**" means employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates including but not limited to MPC and its subsidiaries and Affiliates. The length of any period of Employment shall be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

------

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>" means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>" means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to <u>clauses (1)</u> or <u>(2)</u> of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in accordance with <u>Section 5.07</u> and (y)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Committed Lender's obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Lender to make available to the Borrower any funds in connection with any Loan shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Loans are requested (<u>it</u> <u>being</u> <u>understood</u>, that no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make funds available to the Borrower in connection with any Loan hereunder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Lender on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Borrower shall, on each Settlement Date, make a prepayment of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders to the extent required under <u>Section 4.01</u> and otherwise in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding

------

Capital of the Lenders on any Business Day upon (i) if such prepayment is less than $166,700,000, one (1) Business Day's, (ii) if such prepayment is greater than or equal to $166,700,000 but less than $500,000,000, three (3) Business Days' or (iii) if such prepayment is $500,000,000 or more, five (5) Business Days', in each case, prior written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) each such prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> that notwithstanding the foregoing, a prepayment may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Borrowing Base Deficit existing at such time to zero, (ii) any accrued Interest and Fees in respect of such prepaid Capital shall be paid on the immediately following Settlement Date and (iii) no such voluntary prepayment shall be made with respect to any Class A Capital unless the Aggregate Class B Capital has first been reduced to zero. Each such Reduction Notice shall be delivered no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day (<u>it being understood</u> that any such Reduction Notice delivered after such time shall be deemed to have been delivered on the following Business Day).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower may, at any time upon at least five (5) days' (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Group Agents may agree) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than (i) $60,000,000 or (ii) the Class A LC Participation Amount at such time. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and Class A LC Participant, as well as the Class A LC Limit, shall be ratably reduced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Class A Lenders, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of Class A Lenders in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Borrower Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Class A Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may from time to time advise the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank and each Group Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Scheduled Termination Date for an additional 364 day period, provided that such request is made not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to, and not less than sixty (60) days prior to, the then current Scheduled Termination Date. The Administrative Agent, each LC Bank and each Committed Lender (or its Group Agent on its behalf) shall notify the Borrower and the

------

Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Person is agreeable to such extension (<u>it</u> <u>being</u> <u>understood</u> that the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Committed Lenders may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then current Scheduled Termination Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Committed Lender fails to so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank or such Committed Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have declined such extension. In the event that the Administrative Agent, one or more LC Banks and one or more Committed Lenders have so notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that they are agreeable to such extension, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents, the applicable LC Banks and the applicable Committed Lenders shall enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents, the applicable LC Banks and the applicable Committed Lenders may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to effect such extension, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents, the applicable LC Banks and the applicable Committed Lenders in connection therewith (including Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Borrower. In the event any Committed Lender declines such request to extend the Scheduled Termination Date or is deemed to have declined such extension, such Committed Lender's Group shall be an "<u>Exiting Group</u>" for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. <u>Interest and Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>, pay to each Group Agent, each Lender and the Administrative Agent certain fees (collectively, the "<u>Fees</u>") in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Borrower, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the "<u>Fee Letter</u>"). Undrawn Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender as provided in <u>Section 2.05</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Loan of each Lender and the Capital thereof shall accrue Interest on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Interest Rate for such Loan. The Borrower shall pay all Interest, Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Interest Period on each Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>.

SECTION 2.04. <u>Records of Loans and Participation Advances</u>. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan and Participation Advance made by the Lenders in its Group hereunder, the Interest Rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to <u>Section 14.03(c)</u>, such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Borrower Obligations.

------

SECTION 2.05. <u>Defaulting Committed Lenders</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Undrawn Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to <u>Section 14.01</u>); <u>provided</u>, that, except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 14.01</u>, this <u>clause (b)</u> shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby (if such Lender is directly affected thereby).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Class A Loans of the other Class A Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Class A Loans ratably in accordance with its applicable Commitment; <u>provided</u>, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

**ARTICLE III<br>LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY**

SECTION 3.01. <u>Letters of Credit</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Class A Letters of Credit</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Article VI</u>, each LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Class A Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrower (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, an Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator, in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator may elect with the consent of the Borrower); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no LC Bank will be required to issue or cause to be issued any Class A Letters of Credit to the extent that after giving effect thereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Aggregate Capital plus the Class A LC Participation Amount would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding Class A Capital of the Class A Lenders and the Class A LC Participants in the related LC Bank's Group, <u>plus</u> (B) the LC Bank Class A LC Participation Amount of the related LC Bank in its Group, would exceed the Group Commitment of the related LC Bank's Group;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the actual knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Class A LC Participation Amount would exceed the Class A LC Limit at such time; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Class A LC Participation Amount would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the Class A LC Participants at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Class B Letters of Credit</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Article VI</u>, the Related Class B LC Participants may, in their sole and absolute discretion, consent to the issuance of Class B Letters of Credit by the applicable LC Bank. No LC Bank shall be committed or otherwise have any obligation or deemed to have any obligation, in each case, express or implied, to issue any Class B Letter of Credit and the Related Class B LC Participants shall have no obligation to consent to any such issuance. If consented to in writing by the Related Class B LC Participants in their sole and absolute discretion, the applicable LC Bank may issue or cause the issuance of Class B Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrower (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, an Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator, in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator may elect with the consent of the Borrower). Under no circumstances shall the Borrower request the issuance of any Class B Letter of Credit hereunder if, immediately after giving effect thereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Aggregate Class B Capital plus the Class B LC Participation Amount would exceed the Class B Facility Limit at such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding Class B Capital of the Class B Lenders and the Class B LC Participants in the related LC Bank's Group, <u>plus</u> (B) the LC Bank Class B LC Participation Amount of the related LC Bank in its Group, would exceed the Group Class B Limit of the related LC Bank's Group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the actual knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Class B LC Participation Amount would exceed the Class B LC Limit at such time; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Aggregate Class A Capital plus the Adjusted Class A LC Participation Amount does not equal the Facility Limit at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interest Accrual</u>. Interest shall accrue on all amounts drawn under Letters of Credit for each day on and after the applicable Drawing Date so long as such drawn amounts shall have not been reimbursed to the applicable LC Bank pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Ratable Letter of Credit Issuance</u>. The Borrower hereby agrees that if any Group's Actual Class B Share is less than its Class B Group Ratable Share and more than one LC Bank is willing to issue a Class B Letter of Credit in the amount requested by the

------

Borrower, then in deciding on which LC Bank to allocate such new issuance of a Class B Letter of Credit, the Borrower will take into consideration which Group has the largest Class B Deficient Share immediately prior to such issuance of a Class B Letter of Credit and will use reasonable efforts to try and minimize the Class B Deficient Share for each Group.

SECTION 3.02. <u>Issuance of Letters of Credit; Participations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower may request an LC Bank upon two (2) Business Days' prior written notice submitted on or before noon (New York City time), to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and such LC Bank, such LC Bank's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "<u>Letter of Credit Application</u>"), substantially in the applicable form of <u>Exhibit E</u> attached hereto and an LC Request which shall specify the Type of Letter of Credit being requested, in each case completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and such LC Bank; and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the Scheduled Termination Date. The terms of each Letter of Credit may include customary "evergreen" provisions providing that such Letter of Credit's expiry date shall automatically be extended for additional periods not to exceed twelve (12) months unless, not less than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) (the "<u>Notice Date</u>") prior to the applicable expiry date, the applicable LC Bank delivers written notice to the beneficiary thereof declining such extension; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if (x) any such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to occur after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Scheduled Termination Date or (y) the applicable LC Bank determines that any condition precedent (including, without limitation, those set forth in <u>Section 3.01</u> and <u>Article VI</u>) to issuing such Letter of Credit hereunder are not satisfied (other than any such condition requiring the Borrower to submit an LC Request or Letter of Credit Application in respect thereof), then the applicable LC Bank, in the case of <u>clause (x)</u> above, may (or, at the written direction of any applicable Related LC Participant, shall) or, in the case of <u>clause (y)</u> above, shall, use reasonable efforts in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of such Letter of Credit to prevent the extension of such expiry date (including notifying the Borrower and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in writing prior to the Notice Date that such expiry date will not be so extended). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the applicable LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the applicable LC Bank, as determined by the applicable LC Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Immediately upon the issuance by such LC Bank of any Class A Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Class A Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), such LC

------

Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Related Class A LC Participant, and each such Related Class A LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Related Class A LC Participant's Pro Rata Share, in such Class A Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Pro Rata Shares of the Related Class A LC Participants in any Group pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Class A Letters of Credit issued by the LC Bank in such Group and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u> to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Related Class A LC Participant or of all Related Class A LC Participants in the applicable Group with Commitments, as the case may be. In the event that any LC Bank makes any payment under any Class A Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Bank pursuant to <u>Section 3.04(a)</u>, each Related Class A LC Participant shall be obligated to make Class A Participation Advances with respect to such Class A Letter of Credit in accordance with <u>Section 3.04(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Immediately upon the issuance by such LC Bank of any Class B Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Class B Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), such LC Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Related Class B LC Participant, and each such Related Class B LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Related Class B LC Participant's Pro Rata Share, in such Class B Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Class B Limits or Pro Rata Shares of the Related Class B LC Participants in any Group pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Class B Letters of Credit issued by the LC Bank in such Group and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this <u>clause (d)</u> to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Related Class B LC Participant or of all Related Class B LC Participants in the applicable Group, as the case may be. In the event that any LC Bank makes any payment under any Class B Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Bank pursuant to <u>Section 3.04(a)</u>, each Related Class B LC Participant shall be obligated to make Class B Participation Advances with respect to such Class B Letter of Credit in accordance with <u>Section 3.04(c)</u>.

SECTION 3.03. <u>Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit</u>. The Borrower shall authorize and direct each LC Bank to name the Borrower, an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.04. <u>Disbursements, Reimbursement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such request. The Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a "<u>Reimbursement Obligation</u>") the applicable LC Bank in an amount equal to the amount so paid by such LC Bank

------

(i) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on each date that an amount is paid by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "<u>Drawing Date</u>"), if Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Drawing Date or (ii) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately following such Drawing Date (or the date on which the Borrower shall have received such notice), if the Borrower shall have received notice of such drawing on or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on such Drawing Date (or such other date). Available funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account with respect to the related LC Bank may be applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such drawing or a portion thereof related to such LC Bank; <u>provided</u>, that the Administrative Agent may not apply amounts that are then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account for an LC Bank to satisfy Reimbursement Obligations related to Letters of Credit issued by a different LC Bank. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit as and when required in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (including because the conditions precedent to a Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to <u>Section 2.01</u> shall not have been satisfied), the applicable LC Bank will promptly notify each Related Class A LC Participant or Related Class B LC Participant, as applicable, thereof. Any notice given by an LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; <u>provided</u> that the lack of such a prompt written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Related Class A LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to <u>clause (a)</u> above make available to the applicable LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing with respect to any Class A Letter of Credit (a "<u>Class A Participation Advance</u>"), whereupon the Related Class A LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Class A Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If any Related Class A LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the applicable LC Bank the amount of such Related Class A LC Participant's Pro Rata Share of such amount by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Related Class A LC Participant's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Related Class A LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The applicable LC Bank will promptly give notice to each Related Class A LC Participant of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the applicable LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Related Class A LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Related Class A LC Participant from its obligation under this <u>clause (b)</u>. Each Related Class A LC Participant's Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank in its Group ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Class A Letters of Credit hereunder, (B) no Class A Letter of Credit issued hereunder by the LC Bank in its Group remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Credit Parties have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Class A Letters of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Related Class B LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to <u>clause (a)</u> above make available to the applicable LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing with respect to any Class B Letter of Credit (a "<u>Class B Participation Advance</u>"), whereupon the Related Class B LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Class B Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If any

Related Class B LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the applicable LC Bank the amount of such Related Class B LC Participant's Pro Rata Share of such amount by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Related Class B LC Participant's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Related Class B LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The applicable LC Bank will promptly give notice to each Related Class B LC Participant of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the applicable LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Related Class B LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Related Class B LC Participant from its obligation under this <u>clause (c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon (and only upon) receipt by an LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Related LC Participant has made a Participation Advance to such LC Bank or (ii) in payment of Interest on the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, such LC Bank will pay to each Related Class A LC Participant or Related Class B LC Participant, as applicable, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such Related LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by such LC Bank; <u>it</u> <u>being</u> <u>understood</u>, that such LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any Related LC Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If an LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to such LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under a Class A Letter of Credit or Class B Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Related Class A LC Participant or Related Class B LC Participant, as applicable, shall, on demand of such LC Bank, forthwith return to such LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by such LC Bank <u>plus</u> interest at the Federal Funds Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such Related LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such Related LC Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Termination Date, each LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Borrower's sole discretion, by other funds available to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit issued by the related LC Bank plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Banks, the "<u>LC Fee Expectation</u>").

The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable LC Bank's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Borrower and by the applicable LC Bank's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the applicable LC Bank's interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. No LC Bank shall be liable for any error, breach, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. In addition to any other fees or expenses owing under the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or otherwise pursuant to any Letter of Credit Application, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable LC Bank for its own account any customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the applicable LC Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.

SECTION 3.09. <u>Indemnity</u>. In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, each LC Participant, each other Credit Party and each of the LC Banks' Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank, any LC Participant, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This <u>Section 3.09</u> shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

SECTION 3.10. <u>Liability for Acts and Omissions</u>. As between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties, on the other, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, or any other Credit Party shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if any LC Bank, any LC Participant or any other Credit Party shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank's rights or powers hereunder. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, or the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorney Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any

------

presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the related LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, the LC Participants, or the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an "<u>Order</u>") and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by an LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put such LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any Credit Party or any other Person; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an LC Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such LC Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an LC Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Credit Party, Affected Person or Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>clause (d)</u>.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this <u>clause (k)</u> (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>clause (k)</u>, in no event

------

will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this <u>clause (k)</u> the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

SECTION 5.04. <u>Mitigation</u>. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) an Affected Person requests a material amount of compensation under <u>Section 5.01</u>, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any material amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, LC Participant or the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 5.03</u>, (iii) an Affected Person makes a demand pursuant to <u>Section 5.03</u> for payment of an amount which is material or (iv) an Affected Person is required to compensate an Affected Person in respect of any such occurrence under <u>Section 5.01</u> by an amount which is material, then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office (if such Affected Person has multiple lending offices) for funding and booking its Loan or liquidity requirements related thereto or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other of its offices, branches or affiliates (if such Affected Person has multiple offices, branches or lending affiliates, as applicable), if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 5.01</u> or <u>Section 5.03</u>, as the case may be, in the future, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation within 30 days following the written request of such Affected Person (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation relating thereto).

SECTION 5.05. <u>Inability to Determine SMIR; Change in Legality</u>. Subject to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 5.07 if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Group Agents that, at any time, SMIR or Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Majority Group Agents (or Group Agent) of making or maintaining their Loans included in any SMIR Borrowing;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Group Agents, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request for the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Loan bearing interest at SMIR (including any such conversion or continuation arising from the repurchase provisions of <u>Section 2.02</u> hereof) and (B) any request for a Loan that is bearing interest at SMIR shall instead be deemed to be a notice or a Loan Request, as applicable, for (1) a Loan bearing interest at the rate based on Daily Simple SOFR,

------

so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of <u>Section 5.05(a)</u> or <u>Section 5.05(b)</u> above or (2) a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate, if Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of <u>Section 5.05(a)</u> or <u>Section 5.05(b)</u> above; <u>provided</u> that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one type of Loan, then all other types of Loans shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower's receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this <u>Section 5.05</u> with respect to SMIR, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Group Agents that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new notice in accordance with the terms of <u>Section 2.02</u> or a new Loan Request in accordance with the terms of <u>Section 2.02</u>, any Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (1) a Loan bearing interest at the rate based on Daily Simple SOFR, so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of <u>Section 5.05(a)</u> or <u>Section 5.05(b)</u> above or (2) a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of <u>Section 5.05(a)</u> or <u>Section 5.05(b)</u> above, on such day.

SECTION 5.06. <u>Security Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Interest in respect of the Loans and all other Borrower Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the "<u>Collateral</u>"): (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Boxes, Virtual Accounts and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement, (vi) all other personal and fixture property or assets of the Borrower of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC) and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing.

The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as "all of the debtor's personal property or assets" or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

------

Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties hereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that promptly following written request therefor by the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

SECTION 5.07. <u>Benchmark Replacement</u>.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with <u>clause (1)</u> of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with <u>clause (2)</u> of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Group Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Group Agents comprising the Majority Group Agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent agrees to provide, promptly following the effectiveness thereof, a copy of any such amendments to the Group Agents and the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Group Agents of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to <u>paragraph (d)</u> below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination,

------

decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Group Agent (or group of Group Agents) pursuant to this <u>Section 5.07</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 5.07</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may, modify the definition of "Interest Period" for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Loan Request for, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any Loan Request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to a Loan bearing interest at (A) Daily Simple SOFR so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) the Base Rate if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to SMIR, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this <u>Section 5.07</u>, any Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (1) a Loan bearing interest at the rate based on Daily Simple SOFR, so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Lender may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Borrower's identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Related Entity and not just a division of any Related Entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Borrower will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full-time employees of the Borrower, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any Related Entity (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as the Borrower's employees);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Borrower's own funds, for services provided to the Borrower by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Borrower is also an employee, consultant or agent of any Related Entity, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Borrower and such Related Entity, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Borrower and such Related Entity; provided, as between the Borrower and any Related Entity that is acting as the Servicer, no additional compensation or allocation of compensation shall be required as compensation of employees, consultants and agents of the Servicer on the Borrower's behalf is included in the Servicing Fee;

The Borrower will file all material Tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will pay all material Taxes and other governmental charges at any time owing. The Borrower will pay when due any material Taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of Taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Such Borrower Party shall treat the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement as sales and/or capital contributions and the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Transfer Agreement (Canada) and the Receivables Transfer Agreement (U.S.) as sales, for all purposes, including, without limitation, accounting purposes, notwithstanding the fact that the consolidated financial statements of Marathon and the Borrower shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as a result of the consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers will be reflected as a financing by Marathon in its consolidated financial statements, and such Borrower Party agrees that (i) appropriate notations shall be made in any such consolidated financial statements (or in the accompanying notes) to indicate that the Borrower is a separate legal entity from Marathon and its Affiliates (other than Borrower) and to indicate that the assets and credit of the Borrower are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of Marathon and its Affiliates (other than the Borrower) and (ii) the assets of the Borrower shall be listed separately on any balance sheet of such Borrower Party prepared on a standalone basis.

The Borrower will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and not be subject to withholding under Section 1446 of the Code. No action will be taken that would cause the Borrower to (i) be treated other than as a "disregarded entity" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) become an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Borrower shall not become subject to any material Tax in any jurisdiction outside the United States or any material amount of Taxes imposed by a state or local taxing authority.

**ARTICLE IX<br>ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES**

SECTION 9.01. <u>Appointment of the Servicer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this <u>Section 9.01</u>. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to MPC LP (in accordance with this <u>Section 9.01</u>) of the designation of a new Servicer, MPC LP is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed MPC LP or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and such Person shall not be a Marathon Competitor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in <u>clause (a)</u> above, MPC LP agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and MPC LP shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MPC LP acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each member in each Group have relied on MPC LP's agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, MPC LP agrees that it

------

will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a "<u>Sub-Servicer</u>"); <u>provided</u>, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation; <u>provided</u>, no such consent shall be required with respect to the delegation of any duties to outside collection agencies with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables.

SECTION 9.02. <u>Duties of the Servicer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with <u>Article IV</u> hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; <u>provided</u>, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Person entitled thereto the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if MPC LP or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than MPC LP or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the relevant Person all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Servicer's obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement: (i) the Servicer or any delegate, sub-servicer or sub-agent permitted under <u>Section 9.01(d)</u> shall not (and shall have no authority to) contract for, or conclude contracts in the name of, the Borrower in connection with any Pool Receivables in Canada; (ii) to the extent any duties or obligations of the Servicer involve or require the Servicer to conclude for, or conclude a contract in the name of the Borrower, such servicing responsibility shall be fulfilled solely by an affiliate of the Servicer that is not resident in Canada and does not have a permanent establishment in Canada for purposes of the *Income Tax Act* (Canada) (and not by the Servicer) and such affiliate is authorized to take such action, but only from a place of business outside of Canada, and to the extent that any duties or obligations of any delegate, sub-servicer or sub-agent permitted under <u>Section 9.01(d)</u> involve or require the delegate, sub-servicer or sub-agent to contract for, or conclude a contract in the name of the Borrower, such servicing responsibilities shall be fulfilled only from a place of business outside of Canada; and (iii) the Servicer shall not, directly or indirectly, delegate any servicing responsibility under this Agreement to any Person (including any Originator) which is resident in Canada or has a permanent establishment in Canada for purposes of the *Income Tax Act* (Canada), except upon written consent of the Borrower, and in any event, any such delegate may only carry out any servicing responsibility that involves or requires the delegate to contract for, or conclude a contract in the name of the Borrower from a place of business outside Canada and shall not, in any manner whatsoever, carry out any such delegated responsibility in Canada.

SECTION 9.03. <u>Collection Account Arrangements</u>. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Collection Account Agreements with all of the Collection Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Collection Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive dominion and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the

------

Administrative Agent's instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Collection Account Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.04. <u>Enforcement Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Credit Parties. The Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, with, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrower, within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of

------

the circumstances described in immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u>, <u>(y)</u> and <u>(z)</u>) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 11.11(b)</u>.

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 11.11(b)</u> shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to <u>Section 11.11(a)</u> or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party under any Transaction Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under <u>Section 11.11(a)</u>.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to <u>Section 14.03</u> (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or

------

otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distributions in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, LC Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Transaction Documents with respect to such amount (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights</u>") (<u>provided</u> that the Borrower Obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Borrower Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Borrower Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other obligations owed by any other Borrower Party; <u>provided</u> that this <u>Section 11.11</u> shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Borrower Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Borrower Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u>, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> and <u>(y)</u> shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 11.11</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an LC Bank, the termination of the

------

Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Borrower Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

**ARTICLE XII<br>THE GROUP AGENTS**

SECTION 12.01. <u>Authorization and Action</u>. Each Credit Party that belongs to a Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Group Agent for such Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Group Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Group Agent shall have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against any Group Agent. No Group Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any Lender except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Group Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes such Group Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.

SECTION 12.02. <u>Group Agent's Reliance, Etc</u>. No Group Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Credit Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 12.03. <u>Group Agent and Affiliates</u>. With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by any Credit Party that is also a Group Agent, such Credit Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the

------

same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

SECTION 12.04. <u>Indemnification of Group Agents</u>. Each Committed Lender in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Percentage of such Committed Lender to the aggregate Percentages of all Committed Lenders in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; <u>provided</u> that no Committed Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 12.05. <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 12.06. <u>Notice of Events of Default</u>. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Credit Party, the Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Committed Lenders in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this <u>Article XII</u>), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Lenders and Committed Lenders in its Group.

SECTION 12.07. <u>Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties</u>. Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent's directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent,

------

the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Credit Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party in its Group with any information concerning the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 12.08. <u>Successor Group Agent</u>. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days' notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Credit Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Lender(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this <u>Article XII</u> and <u>Article XIII</u> shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.

SECTION 12.09. <u>Reliance on Group Agent</u>. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Credit Party in such Group Agent's Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Credit Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Credit Parties in its Group.

SECTION 13.01. <u>Indemnities by the Borrower</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay within ten (10) days of demand) each Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses, for all amounts payable, including any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or any other Governmental Authority administering any Anti-Terrorism Law, Anti-Corruption Law or Sanctions, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, any Indemnified Party in connection with the Transaction Documents as a result of any action of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and Attorney Costs (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "<u>Borrower Indemnified Amounts</u>") awarded

Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay within ten (10) days of demand (it being understood that if any portion of such payment obligation is made from Collections, such payment will be made at the time and in the order of priority set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>), to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Borrower Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Borrower Indemnified Amounts and Taxes described in <u>clauses (1)</u>, <u>(2)</u> and <u>(3)</u> above):

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

SECTION 14.16. <u>Right of Setoff</u>. Each Credit Party is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have), at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are

------

hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Credit Party (including by any branches or agencies of such Credit Party) to, or for the account of, the Borrower or the Servicer against amounts due and payable by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder; <u>provided</u> that such Credit Party shall notify the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, promptly following such setoff.

SECTION 14.17. <u>Severability</u>. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
