To the Representatives named in Schedule I hereto
for the Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Marathon Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), the aggregate principal amount of its debt securities identified in Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Securities”), to be issued under the indenture, dated as of February 1, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”). Certain terms of the Securities will be established pursuant to one or more supplemental indentures (each, a “Supplemental Indenture”) delivered pursuant to the Base Indenture (such Supplemental Indentures, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto), including a prospectus relating to securities (the “Shelf Securities”), including the Securities, to be issued from time to time thereunder by the Company. The registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated April 23, 2020 in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” and the term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the documents set forth opposite the caption “Time of Sale Prospectus” in Schedule I hereto. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents incorporated by reference therein. The terms “supplement,” “amendment,” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. “Time of Sale” means 5:35 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.

(e)    Each subsidiary of the Company which is a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X (as of December 31, 2019 (collectively with MPC LP and Speedway, the “Significant Subsidiaries”) (i) has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, ii) has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership, partnership or other entity power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and (iii) is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)    If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances at the time of such delivery, not misleading, or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

7.    Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed thereunder, but for the action of such Underwriter.
8.    Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers and employees of each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any out-of-pocket legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act including any electronic roadshow, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file,

13



pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, in each case, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b)    Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus including any electronic roadshow, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any out-of-pocket legal fees or other expense reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
(c)    In case any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the

14



Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)    To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

15



(e)    The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f)    The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9.    Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange, (b) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over‑the‑counter market, (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (d) there shall have occurred (i) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis or (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (d), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10.    Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

16



If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one‑tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non‑defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one‑tenth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one‑tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements reasonably satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement other than due to a default by the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11.     Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b)    The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this

17



Agreement and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.
12.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
13.     Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
14.     Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
15.     Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you c/o the Representatives at the addresses set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
16.    Waiver of Trial by Jury. The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
17.    Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regime. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may

18



be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
As used in this Section 17:
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
THIS NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of April 27, 2020 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), is between Marathon Petroleum Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2011, between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 5, 2014, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 14, 2015, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018 and the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018 (collectively, the “Indenture”), the Company may from time to time issue and sell Securities in one or more series;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to create and authorize two new series of Securities entitled “4.500% Senior Notes due 2023” (the “2023 Notes”), limited initially to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and “4.700% Senior Notes due 2025” (the “2025 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”), limited initially to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and to provide the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are to be executed, registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture;
WHEREAS, the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes are two series of Securities and are being issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and are subject to the terms contained therein and herein;
WHEREAS, the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes are to be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to make this Supplemental Indenture a legal, binding and enforceable agreement, have been done and performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are executed, registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the foregoing premises and the purchase of such Notes by the Holders thereof, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Notes, as follows:





Section 1.    Definitions. Terms used in this Supplemental Indenture and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Indenture.
Section 2.    Creation and Authorization of Series.
(a)    There is hereby created and authorized the following two new series of Securities to be offered and issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the “4.500% Senior Notes due 2023” and the “4.700% Senior Notes due 2025”.
(b)    The 2023 Notes shall be limited initially to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount and the 2025 Notes shall be limited initially to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing initial aggregate principal amounts, the Company may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amounts of the Notes that may be issued under this Supplemental Indenture and issue such increased principal amounts (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same terms and conditions other than the public offering price, original interest accrual date and initial interest payment date, and the same CUSIP numbers as the applicable series of Notes previously issued, will be fungible with the applicable series of Notes previously issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest as the Notes previously issued, and such additional notes will form a single series with the Notes of such series previously issued, including, without limitation, for purposes of waivers, amendments, redemptions and, if any, offers to purchase, and will rank equally and ratably with the Notes of such series previously issued.
(c)    The date on which the principal is payable on each series of the Notes, unless accelerated pursuant to the Indenture, shall be as provided in the applicable form of security attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B.
(d)    The Notes shall bear interest as provided in the applicable form of security attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B. The Interest Payment Dates and the Regular Record Dates for the determination of Holders of the Notes to whom such interest is payable shall be as provided in the applicable form of security attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B.
(e)    The Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Company as set forth in the applicable form of security attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B.
(f)    The provisions of Article XII of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.
(g)    The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations provided herein and in the applicable form of security attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B.
(h)    The Events of Default and covenants specified in the Indenture will apply to the Notes.
