ARTICLE 5
VOLUME
5.1Minimum Quarterly Volume and Maximum Annual Volume.  As of and following the Effective Time, MPLXFD will use commercially reasonable efforts to Sell an aggregate volume of Products, during each Calendar Quarter, which (a) at a minimum, will be not less than the aggregate volume of Products identified by Calendar Quarter in Schedule 5.1 (each a “Minimum Quarterly Volume”) and (b) at a maximum, will not exceed the maximum annual aggregate volume of Products identified in Schedule 5.1 (the “Maximum Annual Volume”).  The Parties will meet in advance of each calendar year and, if mutually desired, from time-to-time throughout the year, to agree to prospective adjustments to the Minimum Quarterly Volumes in anticipation of seasonality, forecast changes and MPC’s planned refinery operations; provided that, the sum of Minimum Quarterly Volumes in each calendar year will always equal the Annual Volume Commitment.  MPC will update Schedule 5.1 with any agreed upon prospective adjustments to the Minimum Quarterly Volumes made pursuant to this Section 5.1 without formal amendment.
5.2Partial Period Proration.  If this Agreement commences on any day other than the first day of a Calendar Quarter or is terminated on any day other than the last day of a Calendar Quarter, then any calculation determined with respect to a Calendar Quarter will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days elapsed in the Calendar Quarter beginning on the date of such commencement or ending on the date of such termination, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the Calendar Quarter.  If this Agreement commences on any day other than January 1 or is terminated on any day other than December 31, then any calculation determined with respect to a full year will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days elapsed in the year beginning on the date of such commencement or ending on the date of such termination, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such year.
5.3Special Provisions Relating to Volumes.  
(a)Force Majeure Events.  At the conclusion of a Force Majeure Event, the applicable Minimum Quarterly Volume with respect to each Calendar Quarter in which the suspension due to the Force Majeure Event remained in effect will be ratably reduced to reflect such suspension.
(b)Adjustments for Idling or Divestiture of Refineries. In the event MPC or its Affiliates idle or divest (regardless of form) one or more refineries, either Party, upon providing notice to the other Party of its reasonable good faith belief that such idling or divestiture will prevent MPLXFD from Selling at least the Minimum Quarterly Volume of Products during the Calendar Quarters subsequent to such idling or divestiture, may require the respective senior representatives of the Parties to meet and negotiate in good faith a prospective adjustment of the Annual Volume Commitment or other adjustments to this Agreement that the Parties agree are fair and equitable under the circumstances.  For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment of the Annual Volume Commitment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) will be applied only prospectively from the date the Parties agree to such adjustment, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties that such 

Page 6 of 13
*Confidential treatment has been requested for the redacted portions of this exhibit, and such confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

adjustment will be effective retroactively to the date of the idling or closing date of the disposition transaction.  MPC will update Schedule 5.1 with any agreed upon prospective adjustments to the Annual Volume Commitment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) without formal amendment.  
(c)Adjustments for Capital Improvements or Acquisitions.  In connection with either (i) capital improvements completed by MPC or its Affiliates at one or more of its refineries or other facilities; or (ii) an acquisition (regardless of form) by MPC or its Affiliates of one or more refineries or other facilities, businesses or assets, MPLXFD, as MPC’s sole and exclusive agent for the provision of FD Services, will be entitled to provide FD Services and collect increased Monthly Volumetric Fees, if any, associated with increased Sales of Products produced at the improved or acquired refineries, facilities, businesses or assets up to, but not exceeding, the Maximum Annual Volume.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, MPLXFD will not be entitled to any increase of the Annual Volume Commitment as a result of such capital improvements or acquisition.  In the event MPC or its Affiliates completes any such capital improvements or acquisitions, either Party, upon providing notice to the other Party of its reasonable good faith belief that such capital improvements or acquisitions will result in Sales in excess of the Maximum Annual Volume, may require the respective senior representatives of the Parties to meet and negotiate in good faith a prospective adjustment of the Maximum Annual Volume.  For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment of the Maximum Annual Volume made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) will be applied only prospectively from the date the Parties agree to such adjustment, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties that such adjustment will be effective retroactively to the in service date of the improvements or closing date of the acquisition transaction.  MPC will update Schedule 5.1 with any agreed upon prospective adjustments to the Maximum Annual Volume made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) without formal amendment.
ARTICLE 6

COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT 

6.1Fees.  As of and following the Effective Time, in consideration of the FD Services performed by MPLXFD hereunder, MPC will pay MPLXFD the following fees (collectively, the “Fees”):  
(a)Monthly Volumetric Fee.  Each Month, the applicable fee set forth on Schedule 6.1(a) (the “Tiered Fee”) will be multiplied by the volume of Sales in Gallons of MPC’s Products hereunder during such Month (the sum of the products of which will be the “Monthly Volumetric Fee”); provided that MPLXFD will not invoice, and MPC will have no obligation to pay, any Monthly Volumetric Fee for Sales in excess of the Maximum Annual Volume, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.  

(b)Deficiency.  

(i)Quarterly Deficiency.  If after using commercially reasonable efforts, MPLXFD fails to Sell at least the Minimum Quarterly Volume of Products during any Calendar Quarter, then MPC will pay MPLXFD a deficiency payment (each, a “Deficiency Payment”) equal to the volume in Gallons by which the Minimum Quarterly Volume exceeds the actual Sales for such Calendar Quarter multiplied by the applicable Tiered Fee.  

Page 7 of 13
*Confidential treatment has been requested for the redacted portions of this exhibit, and such confidential portions have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(ii)Deficiency Bank.  For that portion of each Sale which exceeds the applicable Minimum Quarterly Volume in a Calendar Quarter (each, an “Excess Sale”), MPLXFD will issue MPC a credit equal to the Monthly Volumetric Fee associated with each Excess Sale (each, a “Quarterly Deficiency Credit”).  MPLXFD will maintain a bank of Quarterly Deficiency Credits and apply each Quarterly Deficiency Credit on a first-in-first-out basis as a credit against any future Deficiency Payment which would otherwise be owed to MPLXFD; provided that Quarterly Deficiency Credits will expire on the earlier of (A) termination of this Agreement, or (B) the end of the fourth consecutive Calendar Quarter following the Calendar Quarter of the Excess Sale. MPLXFD will not remit cash for Quarterly Deficiency Credits regardless of whether the Quarterly Deficiency Credits are unused. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, MPC will not be entitled to any Quarterly Deficiency Credits for Excess Sales exceeding the Maximum Annual Volume, unless MPC has agreed to pay MPLXFD a Monthly Volumetric Fee for such Excess Sales.  This Section 6.1(b)(ii) will survive the termination of this Agreement.  
(iii)Exclusive Remedy.  Section 6.1(b) sets forth MPLXFD’s sole and exclusive remedy for MPC’s failure to meet the Minimum Quarterly Volume during any Calendar Quarter.
6.2Taxes.  The Fees are exclusive of any and all sales taxes, consumer excise taxes, or any other taxes of any Governmental Authority and other charges which may be levied, assessed or due upon the FD Services, except for taxes based on or measured by MPLXFD’s income, gross receipts or net worth (collectively, “Taxes”).  MPC will render payment of Taxes due and payable directly to the taxing Governmental Authority, unless such Taxes are collected and remitted to the taxing Governmental Authority by MPLXFD, in which case, such Taxes will be separately charged to MPC, and identified as Taxes on the Monthly invoice.  MPC will provide any applicable tax exemption certificates to MPLXFD for purposes of the collection and remittance of Taxes under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party is responsible for all Taxes in respect of its own real and personal property.
6.3Invoices; Payment.  As of and following the Effective Time, MPLXFD will furnish MPC a Monthly invoice setting forth the Monthly Volumetric Fee, any Deficiency Payments, any Quarterly Deficiency Credits banked or applied pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) and each of the Taxes payable, in each case, with respect to FD Services performed hereunder during the preceding Month.  MPC will pay such invoice within 10 days of the date of receipt thereof.
6.4Audit.  MPLXFD will retain its books and records related to the FD Services, including books and records related to the charges to MPC for FD Services provided hereunder, for a period of at least 2 years from the date the FD Services are invoiced to MPC.  MPC may audit such books and records at MPLXFD’s offices where such books and records are stored upon reasonable prior written notice.  Any such audit will be at MPC’s sole expense and will take place during MPLXFD’s business hours.

9.1Force Majeure Events.

9.3Strikes and Lockouts.  The settlement of strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances will be entirely within the discretion of the affected Party and the requirement to remedy a Force Majeure Event within a reasonable period of time will not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of an opposing Person when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty.
