1995 MOBIL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
ARTICLE I--PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of the Mobil Incentive Compensation and Stock Ownership Plan is
to promote the creation of shareholder value by encouraging, recognizing and
rewarding sustained outstanding corporate, division, business unit and
individual performance by key Employees of Mobil Corporation and Affiliated
Corporations who are largely responsible for the management, growth and
protection of the business. The Plan in addition provides part of a competitive
total compensation package to attract and retain key Employees.
The components of the Plan include the Short-Term Incentive Program, the
Long-Term Incentive Program and the Stock Ownership Program. The purpose of the
Short-Term Incentive Program is to base a portion of key Employees' total annual
compensation on the performance of the Corporation compared to the performance
of other companies selected by the Committee, with the intention that the key
Employees will receive total compensation that is above the average for
comparable positions paid by such other companies when the Corporation's
comparative performance is above average; total compensation that is equal to
the average for comparable positions paid by these companies when the
Corporation's comparative performance is average; and total compensation that is
below the average for comparable positions when the Corporation's comparative
performance is below average. The Long-Term Incentive Program provides rewards,
based on the performance of the Corporation over a longer term, to those key
Employees who have the potential to contribute significantly to the long-term
growth and success of the Corporation. These awards are denominated in
hypothetical stock or in the form of Restricted Stock, which serves to align the
interests of these key Employees with the interests of shareholders. The purpose
of the Stock Ownership Program is to provide long-term incentive, designed to
encourage Stock ownership by key Employees, thereby directly aligning their
financial interests with those of shareholders. Key Employees receive Stock
Options, which provide them an opportunity to increase their ownership of Stock,
and the Committee is expected to develop guidelines to encourage key Employees
to take advantage of the program to acquire and hold Stock.
