Exxon Mobil
Corporation

Standard Provisions  for  Restricted  Stock  Unit  Agreements  -  Settlement  in  Cash 

 

1.       Effective Date and Credit of Restricted Stock Units.  If Grantee accepts
the award on or before March
9, 2010, this Agreement
will become effective the date the
Corporation receives the award acceptance.  After this Agreement  becomes
effective, the Corporation will
credit to Grantee the number of restricted  stock units
specified in the award package.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement,  each restricted stock
unit ("unit") will entitle Grantee to
receive in settlement of the unit an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's common stock
as described in section 9. 

 

2.       Conditions.  If credited, the units will be  subject
to the provisions
of this Agreement, and to such regulations and
requirements  as the administrative authority of the Program may establish
from time to time. The units will be credited to Grantee only on the condition that Grantee accepts such provisions, regulations, and requirements. 

 

3.       Restrictions and Risk of
Forfeiture. 
During the applicable restricted
periods  specified
in section 4 of this Agreement, 

(a) the units under restriction may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, or
otherwise disposed of or encumbered, and any attempt to do so will be null
and void; and

(b) the units under restriction may be forfeited as provided in section
6.

 

4.       Restricted Periods.  The restricted  periods
will commence  when
the units are credited to Grantee and,
unless the units have been forfeited  earlier under
section 6, will expire as follows, whether or not Grantee is
still an employee:  

(a) with  respect
to 50% of the units, on November 24,  2012; and

(b) with  respect
to the remaining units,
on November  24, 2016, except
that

(c) the restricted periods will
automatically expire with respect to all units on the death of Grantee.

 

5.       No Obligation to Credit Units.  The Corporation will have no obligation to credit any units and will have no other obligation to Grantee with respect  to  the  subject  matter 
of  this Agreement if Grantee
fails to accept the award on or
before March 9, 2010.  In
addition, whether or not Grantee  has
accepted the award, the Corporation 
will have no obligation to credit any units and will have no
other obligation to Grantee  with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement
if, before the units are credited: 

(a) Grantee terminates
(other than by death) before  standard  retirement
time within the meaning of the
Program, except to the extent the
administrative authority of the Program determines Grantee may receive units under
this Agreement; or

(b) Grantee is determined to have engaged in
detrimental activity within the meaning
of the Program. 

 

6.       Forfeiture  of  Units  After  Crediting.  Until the applicable restricted period
specified
in section 4 has expired,
the units under restriction will be forfeited or subject
to forfeiture in the following
circumstances: 

 

Termination

If Grantee terminates (other
than by death) before standard
retirement time within the meaning of the Program, all units for which the applicable restricted  periods have
not expired will be automatically forfeited as of the date of termination, except to the
extent the administrative authority determines Grantee may
retain units issued under
this Agreement. 

 

Detrimental activity

If Grantee is determined
to have engaged in detrimental  activity
within the meaning of the Program, either before  or after termination, all units for which the
applicable  restricted
periods have not expired will
be automatically forfeited as of the date
of such determination. 

 

Attempted transfer 

The units are  subject to forfeiture in the discretion  of the
administrative authority if
Grantee attempts to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose  of or encumber  them
during the applicable  restricted periods. 

1

 

 

 

 

7.       Taxes.  Notwithstanding
the restrictions on transfer
that otherwise apply, the Corporation
in its sole discretion may withhold
units, or cash otherwise payable  in settlement of  units, either at
the time of crediting, at the time
of settlement, or at any other time
in order to satisfy any required  withholding,  social
security, and similar taxes or contributions (collectively,
"required taxes").  If the Corporation
does not withhold units or cash to satisfy required taxes, in the alternative
the Corporation may require Grantee to deposit with
the Corporation  cash in an
amount determined by the Corporation to be necessary
to satisfy required taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Corporation
will be under no obligation
to credit units or  to
pay cash to Grantee in settlement of  any units if Grantee
fails timely to deposit such
amount with the Corporation.   The
Corporation in its  sole
discretion may also withhold
any required taxes from dividend  equivalents payable on the
units.

 

8.       Form of Units; No Shareholder
Status.  The
units will be represented
by book-entry credits in records maintained
by or on behalf of the Corporation. Units  will
be unfunded,  unsecured promises by
the Corporation to pay cash in the
future upon the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Agreement.  Grantee will not
be a shareholder of the
Corporation with  respect  to  units. 

 

9.       Settlement  of  Units. If and when the
applicable  restricted
period expires with respect to
any units, the Corporation 
will pay to or for the account of Grantee promptly after
such expiration an amount in cash
equal to the fair market value on
the expiration date of one share per unit, net of
required taxes in accordance
with section 7. Fair market
value of shares will be determined
and payments will be made in accordance  with the procedures of
the administrative  authority in effect at the time.

 

10.    Dividend Equivalents.  The Corporation will pay to Grantee cash  with respect
to each credited unit corresponding in amount,
currency, and timing to cash dividends
that would  be  payable  with respect to a share of common stock outstanding on each record  date that occurs during the  applicable
restricted period.  Alternatively,
the administrative authority may determine to reinvest such dividend
equivalents in additional units which will be held subject to all the terms and conditions otherwise applicable  to units under this Agreement. 

 

11.    Change in Capitalization.  If during the applicable restricted periods
a stock split, stock dividend, or
other relevant change  in capitalization  of the
Corporation occurs, the administrative
authority will make such adjustments in the number of units credited
to Grantee, or in the number  and
type of securities used in determining the cash settlement value of units or dividend equivalent
amounts, as the administrative
authority may determine to be appropriate. 

 

12.    Limits  on the Corporation's Obligations.  Notwithstanding
anything else contained  in
this Agreement, under no circumstances will the Corporation be required to credit any units or make  any payments  in settlement of units if doing so would  violate
any law or listing requirement that the administrative authority determines to be applicable. 

 

13.    Receipt or Access to Program.  Grantee acknowledges
receipt of or access to the  full  text  of the
Program. 

 

14.    Addresses for Communications.  To facilitate communications regarding this Agreement, Grantee agrees to notify the Corporation promptly
of changes in current mailing and email
addresses.  Communications to the Corporation in connection
with this Agreement should  be
directed to the Incentive  Processing Office, or to such other address
as the Corporation  may designate
by further notice to Grantee. 

 

15.    Transfer of Personal Data.  The administration of the Program
and this Agreement involves the
transfer of personal data
about Grantee between and among
the Corporation, selected affiliates of the Corporation,
and third-party service
providers such as  Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney and Computershare (the
Corporation's transfer
agent). This data includes Grantee's
name, age, contact
information, work location, employment
status, tax status, and related information. 
By accepting this
award, Grantee authorizes the
transfer of this data.

 

16.    No Employment Contract or Entitlement
to Other or Future Awards.  This Agreement, the Corporation's incentive
programs, and Grantee's  selection
for incentive awards do not imply or form a part of any contract or assurance of employment, and they do not in any way limit or restrict the ability of Grantee's employer  to terminate  Grantee's
employment.  Grantee acknowledges
that the Corporation maintains  and administers
its incentive programs entirely in its discretion and
that Grantee is not entitled to any other or future incentive  awards of any kind in addition to those that have
already been granted. 

2

 

 

 

 

17.    Governing Law  and
Consent to Jurisdiction. 
This Agreement and the Program are
governed by the laws of the
State of New York  without regard to any conflict of law rules.  Any dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement  or the Program may be resolved
in any state or federal  court located  within  Dallas County,
Texas, U.S.A. Grantee accepts that venue and submits to the personal jurisdiction of any such court.  Similarly, the Corporation
accepts such venue and submits to such  jurisdiction. 

 

18.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes
the entire understanding  between
Grantee and the Corporation  with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement.

III.  Administration

 

The
Board is the ultimate administrative authority for this Program, with the power
to interpret and administer its provisions.  The Board may delegate its

Committee, need not be a committee of the Board.  Subject to the authority of
the Board or an authorized committee, the Chairman and his delegates will serve
as the administrative authority for purposes of establishing requirements and
procedures for the operation of this Program; making final determinations and
interpretations with respect to outstanding awards; and exercising other powers
assigned to the administrative authority under this Program.

2

 

 

 

IV.  No Equity-Security Awards

 

It
is intended that this Program not be subject to the provisions of Section 16
and that awards granted hereunder not be considered equity securities of the
Corporation within the meaning of Section 16.  Accordingly, no award under this
Program will be payable in any equity security of the Corporation.  In the
event an award to a reporting person under this Program should be deemed to be
an equity security of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16, such
award may, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the granting
authority, be amended so as not to constitute such an equity security, or may
be annulled.  Each award to a reporting person under this Program will be
deemed issued subject to the foregoing qualification.

 

V. 
Annual Ceiling

 

In
respect to each year under this Program, the Compensation Committee will,
pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, establish a ceiling on the
aggregate dollar amount that can be awarded under this Program.  With respect
to bonuses and bonus units granted in a particular year under this Program, the
sum of (1) the aggregate amount of bonuses, and (2) the aggregate maximum
settlement value of bonus units will not exceed such ceiling.  The Compensation
Committee may revise the ceiling from time to time as it deems appropriate.

 

VI. 
Right to Grant Awards; Reserved Powers; Eligibility

 

                (1)       The
Board is the ultimate granting authority for this Program, with the power to
select eligible persons for participation and to make all decisions concerning
the grant or amendment of awards.  The Board may delegate this authority in
whole or in part (a) in the case of reporting persons, to the Compensation
Committee; and (b) in the case of employees who are not reporting persons, to a
committee of two or more persons who may, but need not, be directors of the Corporation.

 

                (2)       The
granting authority has sole discretion to select persons for awards under this
Program, except that grants may be made only to persons who at the time of
grant are, or within the immediately preceding 12 months have been, employees
of the Corporation or of an affiliate in which the Corporation directly or
indirectly holds a 50 percent or greater equity interest.  No person is
entitled to an award as a matter of right, and the grant of an award under this
Program does not entitle a grantee to any future or additional awards.

 

                (3)       No
award may be granted to a member of the Compensation Committee.

 

VII.  Term

 

This
Program will continue until terminated by the Board.

 

VIII. 
Form of Bonus

 

A
bonus may be granted either wholly in cash, wholly in bonus units, or partly in
each.

 

IX. 
Settlement of Bonuses

 

Each
grant will specify the time and method of settlement as determined by the
granting authority.  Each grant, any portion of which is in bonus units, will
specify as the regular time of settlement for that portion a settlement date,
which may be accelerated to an earlier time specified in the award instrument.

 

X.  Deferred and Installment
Settlement; Interest Equivalents

 

                (1)       The granting authority
may permit or require settlement of any award under this Program to be deferred
and to be made in one or more installments upon such terms and conditions as
the granting authority may determine at the time the award is granted or by
amendment of the award, provided that settlement may not be made later than the
tenth anniversary of the grantee's date of termination.

3

 

 

 

 

                (2)       An
award that is to be settled in whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may
provide for interest equivalents to be credited with respect to the deferred
cash payment or payments upon such terms and conditions as the granting
authority determines.  Interest equivalents may be paid currently or may be
added to the balance of the award amount and compounded, as specified in the
award instrument.  Compounded interest equivalents will be paid in cash upon
settlement or payment of the underlying award and will expire or be forfeited
or cancelled upon the same conditions as the underlying award.  The granting
authority may delegate to the administrative authority the right to determine
the rate or rates at which interest equivalents will accrue.

 

                (3)       Credits
of interest equivalents on outstanding awards are not new grants with reference
to the eligibility provisions of Section VI(2). 

 

                (4)       Credits
of interest equivalents will not be included in any computation to establish
compliance with a ceiling established by the Compensation Committee pursuant to
Section V.

 

XI.  Termination; Detrimental
Activity

 

                (1)       If a
grantee terminates before standard retirement time, other than by reason of
death, all outstanding awards of the grantee under this Program (including
bonuses, bonus units, EBUs, and other awards not yet paid or settled) will
automatically expire and be forfeited as of the date of termination except to
the extent the administrative authority (which, in the case of reporting
persons, must be the Compensation Committee) determines otherwise.

 

                (2)       For
purposes of this Program, the administrative authority may determine that the
time or date an employee resigns or otherwise terminates is the time or date
the employee gives notice of resignation, accepts employment with another
employer, otherwise indicates an intent to resign, or is discharged.  The time
or date of termination for this purpose is not necessarily the employee's last
day on the payroll.

 

                (3)       If the
administrative authority (which, in the case of reporting persons, must be the
Compensation Committee) determines that a grantee has engaged in detrimental
activity, whether or not the grantee is still an employee, then the
administrative authority may, effective as of the time of such determination,
cancel and cause to expire all or part of the grantee's outstanding awards
under this Program (including bonuses, bonus units, EBUs, and other awards not
yet paid or settled).

 

                (4)       If the
administrative authority is advised or has reason to believe that a grantee (a)
may have engaged in detrimental activity; or (b) may have accepted employment
with another employer or otherwise indicated an intent to resign, the authority
may suspend the exercise, delivery, or settlement of all or any specified
portion of such grantee's outstanding awards pending an investigation of the
matter.

 

XII.  Material Negative
Restatement

 

                (1)       If the
Corporation's reported financial or operating results become subject to a
material negative restatement, the Compensation Committee may require any
current or former reporting person, as defined in Section II(18), to pay to the
Corporation an amount corresponding to each award to that person under this
Program, or portion of such award, that the Compensation Committee determines
would not have been granted or paid if the Corporation's results as originally
published had been equal to the Corporation's results as subsequently restated,
provided that (a) any requirement or claim under this Section XII will
apply only with respect to grantees who were reporting persons at the time the
applicable amounts were awarded or paid; and (b) any requirement or claim under
this Section XII must be made, if at all, within five years after the date the
amount claimed was originally paid by the Corporation.  

 

                (2)       The
obligations of reporting persons to make payments under this Section XII are
independent of any involvement by those reporting persons in events that led to
the restatement.  The provisions of this Section XII are in addition to, not in
lieu of, any remedies that the Corporation may have against any persons whose
misconduct caused or contributed to a need to restate the Corporation's
reported results.

4

 

 

 

 

XIII.  Death; Beneficiary
Designation

 

Any
rights and obligations of a grantee under this Program in effect at that
grantee's death will apply to that grantee's designated beneficiary or, if
there is no designated beneficiary, to that grantee's estate representative or
lawful heirs, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the administrative
authority.  Beneficiary designations must be made in writing and in accordance
with such requirements and procedures as the administrative authority may establish. 
Unless specified otherwise in the award instrument, if a grantee dies, the
administrative authority may accelerate or otherwise alter the settlement of
deferred awards to that grantee.

 

XIV. 
Amendments to this Program and Outstanding Awards

 

                (1)       The Board may from time
to time amend this Program.  An amendment of this Program will, unless the
amendment provides otherwise, be immediately and automatically effective for
all outstanding awards.

 

                (2)       Without
amending this Program, the granting authority may amend any one or more
outstanding awards under this Program to incorporate in those awards any terms
that could be incorporated in a new award under this Program.  An award as
amended must satisfy any conditions or limitations applicable to the particular
type of award under the terms of this Program.

 

XV.  Withholding Taxes

 

The
Corporation has the right, in its sole discretion, to deduct or withhold at any
time cash otherwise payable or deliverable in order to satisfy any required
withholding, social security, and similar taxes and contributions with respect
to awards under this Program. 

 

XVI. 
Non-US Awards

 

Subject
to the limitations contained in this Program, the granting authority may
establish different terms and conditions for awards to persons who are
residents or nationals of countries other than the United States in order to
accommodate the local laws, tax policies, or customs of such countries.  The
granting authority may adopt one or more supplements or sub-plans under this
Program to implement those different terms and conditions.

 

XVII. 
General Provisions

 

                (1)       An
award under this Program is not transferable except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and is not subject to attachment, execution, or levy
of any kind.  The designation by a grantee of a designated beneficiary is not a
transfer for this purpose.

 

                (2)       A
particular form of award may be granted to a grantee either alone or in
addition to other awards hereunder.  The provisions of particular forms of
award need not be the same for each grantee.

 

                (3)       An
award may be granted for no consideration, for the minimum consideration
required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as the granting
authority may determine.

 

                (4)       An
award may be evidenced in such manner as the administrative authority
determines, including by physical instrument, by electronic communication, or
by book entry.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy regarding the terms
of an award, the records of the administrative authority will be determinative.

 

                (5)       The
grant of an award under this Program does not constitute or imply a contract of
employment and does not in any way limit or restrict the ability of the
employer to terminate the grantee's employment, with or without cause, even if
such termination results in the expiration, cancellation, or forfeiture of outstanding
awards.

 

                (6)       A
grantee will have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable in
settlement of an award under this Program, unsecured by any assets of the
Corporation or any other entity.

 

                (7)       This
Program will be governed by the laws of the State of New York and the United
States of America, without regard to any conflict of law rules.
