Educational Reimbursement Plan

Marathon Petroleum offers educational reimbursement benefits to encourage self-development by providing financial assistance for certain education-related expenses. This benefit is intended to encourage professionalism and assist you in increasing effectiveness in your current position, preparing you for possible advancement, and/or increasing your adaptability to new ideas and change.

The Educational Reimbursement Plan offers financial assistance for two types of education-related expenses:

1. Tuition for courses under an approved degree program or single courses outside a degree program, and
2. Certification and Licensing (C&L) assistance for an approved licensing or professional certification program.

Upon successful completion of an approved course, the Company will reimburse eligible expenses, including tuition, required fees and textbooks, subject to an annual maximum reimbursement of $5,250 for an undergraduate program or $9,000 for a graduate program.

Reimbursements up to $5,250 per calendar year are considered non-taxable income. Reimbursements in excess of this amount (if applicable) are generally taxable -subject to tax withholding. The $5,250 annual limit is an IRS limit and is subject to change based on IRS guidelines.

You are eligible for the Educational Reimbursement Plan (the “Plan”) if you are a regular full-time or regular part-time employee both at the time of enrollment in the course and at the time the course is completed. (Courses that begin prior to your MPC employment date are not eligible for reimbursement.)

In order to qualify for benefits under this Plan, you must have been in your position a reasonable amount of time to allow pursuit of further education or licensing without impacting your job performance, and your course/program schedule should not conflict with your regular work schedule
