3 I. Objective The purpose of the Marathon Petroleum Volunteer Incentive Program ( VIP or Program ) is to encourage employees to perform service at local charitable organizations while further demonstrating the Company s community outreach and support in the form of volunteer recognition and a grant or cash contribution made to eligible charitable organizations when an eligible volunteer completes a minimum number of volunteer hours. II. III. IV. Eligibility Regular employees working on a Full-time or Part-time basis and the legal spouse of regular full time and part time employees. For purposes of eligibility, Regular Full-time basis means the employee has a normal work schedule of at least 40 hours per week or at least 80 hours on a bi-weekly basis or a normal work schedule which has been reduced to 20 or more hours per week to accommodate a bona fide health problem or disability. Regular Part-time means the employee is a non-supervisory employee employed to work on a part-time basis (minimum of 20 hours but less than 35 hours per week), and not on a time, special job completion, or call when needed basis. Eligible Volunteer Service Eligible volunteer service includes volunteer activities that benefit the general community including, but not limited to, committee work, fundraising, tutoring, mentoring, or neighborhood revitalization. Ineligible Volunteer Service Volunteer Service performed by a family member other than the employee and employee s spouse or volunteer service that directly benefits the eligible participant and/or their families is not eligible. Anticipated volunteer service, or volunteer service not yet performed, and/or participation and/or pledges for thon-type activities (examples: walk-a-thons, bike-a-thon, etc.) are also not eligible. V. VIP Grant for Eligible Volunteer Service If an eligible participant performs a minimum of 24 hours of volunteer service during a calendar year at a single eligible organization, they may apply for a Marathon Petroleum-VIP grant in the amount of $500. Each participant can apply for one (1) grant per calendar year. The number of volunteer service hours performed by both the employee and the employee s spouse at a single organization may be combined to meet the 24-hour minimum. The total grant amount paid out by Marathon Petroleum per eligible couple will not exceed $1,000. 1

4 VI. Eligible Organizations Eligible organizations must be located in the United States and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt and designated a public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code or an instrumentality of a federal, state or local government as provided by section 170(c)(1) of the code. In addition, eligible organization must fit into one of the following categories; arts and culture, health and human service agencies, civic, and environmental organizations. VII.
