(g) Repayment of Total Investment. Subject to the terms hereof, JOBBER shall be liable to repay the full amount of the Total Investment to MPC. The foregoing notwithstanding, if JOBBER delivers the Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail in each Contract Year, JOBBER’s obligation to repay the Total Investment to MPC shall be fully discharged.

(h) Gasoline Deficiency Amount. If JOBBER does not deliver the Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail, in any Contract Year, and JOBBER is currently failing to meet the Minimum Station Count, JOBBER will, at JOBBER’s option: (i) pay MPC the Gasoline Deficiency Amount due as described in Section 3(h)(1) (“Payment Option”); or, (ii) extend the Term as described in Section 3(h)(2) (“Extension Option”). MPC will invoice JOBBER for Gasoline Deficiency Amounts within sixty (60) days following the end of each Contract Year for which the Gasoline Deficiency Amount is due. To elect the Extension Option and extend the Term, JOBBER must provide written notice to MPC within five (5) days from JOBBER’s receipt of the Gasoline Deficiency Amount invoice. If (a) JOBBER fails to provide timely written notice to MPC; (b) JOBBER has already exercised the Extension Option on three (3) prior occasions during the Term; or (c) the Extension Option would extend the Extension Period to a period of more than two (2) calendar years, then JOBBER shall pay the Gasoline Deficiency Amount invoice as described in the Payment Option.

(1) Payment Option. Payment of the Gasoline Deficiency Amount shall be due from JOBBER via electronic funds transfer (EFT) within ten (10) days of receipt of invoice.

(2) Extension Option. MPC and JOBBER shall execute an amendment to this Agreement, to extend the Extension Period by the number of calendar quarters calculated as follows:

 

		Additional Calendar Quarter(s)
				= (1 - (A+ Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume)) x 4
		Where:
				A = The number of gallons of MARA THON® branded gasoline purchased by JOBBER directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets, for resale at retail in the applicable Contract Year; and
				Additional Calendar Quarter(s) is rounded up to the nearest number of calendar quarters.

In illustration, and not limitation of the foregoing, if the Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume is [***] gallons and JOBBER purchases [***] gallons in the applicable Contract Year:

Additional Calendar Quarter(s) [***]

The Additional Calendar Quarter(s), calculated as [***], is rounded up to the nearest number of calendar quarters, which is one (1) calendar quarter.

In the event that this Agreement terminates during a Contract Year, the total volume of MARATHON^® branded gasoline which JOBBER has purchased from the Anniversary Date of the Contract Year to the effective date of termination shall be compared to the prorated Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume in calculating the Gasoline Deficiency Amount, if any, due for the Contract Year. The Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume for the Contract Year shall be prorated by comparing the number of calendar months after the month termination is effective, taken to the closest month, to the twelve months of the Contract Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Gasoline Deficiency Amount will be due, regardless of volume, if JOBBER is meeting the Minimum Station Count.

 

4.

Rebates.

(a) Gasoline Rebates.

(1) Calculation of Gasoline Rebates. For any calendar month of any Contract Year in which JOBBER has purchased and delivered the volume of MARATHON^® branded gasoline indicated in the table below directly from MPC to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail, monthly MPC shall pay JOBBER the corresponding rebate amount, on the corresponding rebate volume of MARATHON^® branded gasoline purchased by JOBBER directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets, for resale at retail, in the calendar month:

[***]

(2) Gasoline Rebate Limits. Any term, provision or condition of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, JOBBER acknowledges and agrees that:

(A) no rebates shall be earned or paid with respect to gallons of MARATHON^® branded gasoline purchased directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets, for resale at retail, in any calendar month of any Contract Year in which JOBBER purchases directly from MPC at a Select Terminal and delivers to the Retail Outlets, for resale at retail, less than [***] gallons of MARA THON^® branded gasoline;

(B) no rebates shall be earned or paid with respect to gallons of MARA THON^® branded gasoline purchased directly from MPC at a Select Terminal and delivered to the Retail Outlets in any calendar month of any Contract Year in excess of [***] gallons; and

(C) no rebates shall be earned or paid with respect to gallons of MARA THON^® branded gasoline not purchased directly from MPC at a Select Terminal in a relevant time period or delivered to any motor fuel retail outlet other than the Retail Outlets in a relevant time period.

(b) Seasonality Adjustments. JOBBER may propose, at its option, seasonal adjustments to the monthly gasoline rebate trigger volumes applicable to the earning of rebates in Section 4(a)(1), provided, however, that the sum of the monthly minimum rebate trigger volumes for gasoline in the Contract Year, as seasonally adjusted, is equal to sum of the equivalent, unmodified, monthly minimum rebate trigger volumes already in place. Seasonal adjustments to the volumes set forth in Section 4(a)(1) will be made as mutually agreed upon by the Parties and effective upon written amendment signed by both Parties. Such seasonality adjustment proposal must be submitted to MPC in writing not later than sixty (60) days prior to the start of the applicable Contract Year. In the event JOBBER does not make a timely nomination under this Section 4(b), MPC is not obligated to agree to the seasonality adjustment proposal and the minimum monthly volumes already in place will continue to apply absent a signed, written amendment to the contrary.

(c) Annual Gasoline Rebate True-Up. If JOBBER’s purchases of MARATHON^® branded gasoline in any Contract Year during the Term exceeds the Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume, but JOBBER fails to purchase [***] gallons (or the seasonality adjusted monthly minimum rebate trigger volumes) of MARATHON^® branded gasoline in any calendar month of such Contract Year (an “Adjustable Month”), MPC agrees that JOBBER may allocate gallons of MARATHON^® branded gasoline purchased during the Contract Year in excess of the Minimum Annual Gasoline Volume to the Adjustable Month, to allow JOBBER to earn a rebate in such Adjustable Month, if any, in accordance with Section 4(a)(1) that would not have otherwise been earned. In the event there are two or

 

5

more Adjustable Months in the Contract Year and prior to making an allocation that triggers a second rebate tier, JOBBER must allocate gallons in a manner that all Adjustable Months earn rebates at the first rebate tier. To allocate gallons, JOBBER must provide written notice to MPC within thirty (30) days after the end of the Contract Year. JOBBER’s notice must include sufficient detail to allow MPC to make an accurate and appropriate allocation. If JOBBER fails to provide timely or adequate written notice to MPC, no allocation shall occur. In the event the allocations contemplated in this Section 4(c) result in additional rebates for a Contract Year, JOBBER will receive such excess amount as an adjustment. Adjustments due to JOBBER pursuant to this Section 4(c) will be remitted in the form of a credit memorandum issued by MPC, on or before the last day of the calendar month of February.

(d) Distillate Rebates.

(1) Calculation of Distillate Rebates. For any calendar month of any Contract Year in which JOBBER has purchased and delivered the volume of MARATHON^® branded distillate indicated in the table below directly from MPC to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail, MPC shall pay JOBBER the corresponding rebate amount, on the corresponding rebate volume of MARATHON^® branded distillate purchased by JOBBER directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets, for resale at retail, in the calendar month:

[***]

(2) Distillate Rebate Limits. JOBBER acknowledges that:

(A) MPC shall not pay a rebate on any gallon of MARATHON^® branded distillate in any calendar month of any Contract Year in which JOBBER has purchased directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail less than [***] gallons of MARATHON^® branded distillate in that calendar month;

(B) MPC shall not pay a rebate on any gallon of MARATHON^® branded distillate purchased by JOBBER directly from MPC and delivered to the Retail Outlets in any calendar month of any Contract Year in excess of [***] gallons;

(C) MPC shall not pay a rebate on any gallon of MARATHON^® branded distillate that is not (i) purchased by JOBBER directly from MPC in the relevant period, or (ii) delivered to any motor fuel retail outlet other than the Retail Outlets; and

(D) if the first Contract Year occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Agreement expires or is terminated on a day other than on the last day of a calendar month, or both, the monthly volume requirements and rebate volume limits expressed in this Section will be prorated in a manner directly proportionate to the number of days of such calendar month.

(e) Payment of Rebates. MPC shall pay rebates due to JOBBER under this Section in the form of a credit memorandum issued on a calendar month basis. The foregoing notwithstanding, if any Retail Outlet is not in compliance with the Image and Identification Standards, as of October 1, 2018, and during each calendar month thereafter, or any month in which JOBBER fails to meet the Minimum Station Count, MPC, may hold rebates otherwise due and owing under this Section for all Retail Outlets on account, without interest, until the earlier of (1) the date upon which JOBBER demonstrates that all of the Retail Outlets are in compliance with the Image and Identification Standards; or (2) the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. If JOBBER has failed to demonstrate full compliance by the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, MPC may transfer all rebates then held on account to MPC’s own account, and upon such transfer, JOBBER releases MPC and waives any collection right to or claim for the payment or receipt thereof.

5. Volume Determination.

(a) Terminal Pulls. For all purposes under this Agreement, the volume of MARATHON^® branded gasoline and delivered to the Retail Outlets for resale at retail in a relevant time period will be construed to equal the volume of MARATHON^® branded gasoline that JOBBER purchased directly from MPC in such time period; except that any volumes of MARATHON^® branded gasoline delivered by JOBBER in such time period to a retail motor fuel outlet other than a Retail Outlet, as identified on exhibit A will not be deemed to be volumes of MARATHON^® branded gasoline delivered for resale at retail to the Retail Outlets in such time period.

(b) Audit. JOBBER shall (i) retain all records and books related to JOBBER’s volumes delivered to the Retail Outlets (“Records”) for a period of at least two years from the date of delivery; and (ii) maintain its Records in such manner as to allow MPC, and its authorized representative, upon inspection thereof, to verify the accuracy of JOBBER’s volumes delivered to the Retail Outlets. With reasonable advance notice by MPC, JOBBER shall permit MPC or its authorized representative, at reasonable times and at MPC’s expense, to review and audit the Records.

If each of the foregoing conditions is not fulfilled on or before the last date of the Term and MPC does not waive fulfillment of any unfulfilled condition, the Parties will not amend exhibit A to add any motor fuel retail outlets pursuant to this Section.

(c) Supplemental Investment. For any motor fuel retail outlet added to this Agreement, by written amendment to exhibit A effective during Contract Years One, Two and Three, MPC will pay to JOBBER, funds up to the amount of $[***] gallons of Committed Volume associated with such added retail outlet, to reimburse certain expenses necessary to convert the motor fuel retail outlet to a MARATHON^® retail outlet. Disbursements of Supplemental Investment pursuant to Subsection (c) of this Section may be pro-rated on a straight-line basis.
