AMENDED AND RESTATED 2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

2018 - 2020 PERFORMANCE CYCLE

As evidenced by this Award Agreement under the PBF Energy Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), PBF ENERGY INC. (the “Company”) has granted to [NAME] (the “Grantee”), an employee of the Company Group, on [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), [NUMBER] performance share units (“Performance Share Units”), representing the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, conditioned upon the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the Peer Group for each of the Performance Periods within the Performance Cycle as established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”), and as set forth herein.

In addition to the Performance Share Units granted hereunder, the Grantee is granted a Dividend Equivalent Award payable in shares of Common Stock, as provided herein. On the Normal Vesting Date (or, if earlier, the consummation of a Change in Control or Grantee’s termination of employment under Section 5 or 6 hereof) the amount of dividends paid to holders of Common Stock during the applicable Performance Periods shall be determined with respect to the Grantee’s Performance Share Units that are vesting on that Normal Vesting Date (or, if earlier, the consummation of a Change in Control or Grantee’s termination of employment under Section 5 or 6 hereof) calculated as if the Performance Share Units were outstanding shares of Common Stock (the resulting value being hereafter referred to as the “Target Dividend Equivalent Value”). The Target Dividend Equivalent Value shall then be subject to further calculation according to the Company’s TSR performance during the Performance Period as prescribed in Section 3 (i.e., payout from 0% to 200% depending on the Payout Percentage). The number of shares of Common Stock payable to Grantee with respect to the Dividend Equivalent Award is equal to (x) the Target Dividend Equivalent Value multiplied by the Performance Period’s Payout Percentage calculated per Section 3, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Normal Vesting Date (or, if earlier, the Grantee’s termination of employment under Section 5 or 6 hereof) (the resulting number being rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares). See Exhibit A for an example of this calculation.

The Performance Share Units are subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Relationship to the Plan. This grant of Performance Share Units is subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and administrative interpretations thereunder, if any, that have been adopted by the Committee. Except as otherwise defined in this Award Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings given to them under the Plan. To the extent that any provision of this Award Agreement conflicts with the express terms of the Plan, the terms of this Award Agreement shall control. References to the Grantee also include the heirs or other legal representatives of the Grantee.

2. Performance Periods; Payout Determinations. The four performance periods are as follows (each a “Performance Period” and collectively, the “Performance Periods”):



(i)	January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 (“First Performance Period”);
(ii)	January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (“Second Performance Period”);
(iii)	January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (“Third Performance Period”); and
(iv)	January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 (“Fourth Performance Period”).

The payout shall be equally determined based upon the TSR Performance Rank and the TSR Performance Percentile. The Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Rank, TSR Performance Percentile, the TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage and the TSR Performance Percentile Payout Percentage for each Performance Period as follows:


(a)	First, the Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Rank and then the TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage for each Performance Period as follows (using straight-line interpolation between levels above threshold):



TSR Performance Rank	TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage
Ranked Sixth	0%
Ranked Fifth	50%
Ranked Fourth or Third	100%
Ranked Second	150%
Ranked First	200%

Provided, however, that in the event that the number of Peer companies is five, the Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Rank and then the TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage for each Performance Period as follows (using straight-line interpolation between levels above threshold):



TSR Performance Rank	TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage
Ranked Fifth	0%
Ranked Fourth	50%
Ranked Third	100%
Ranked Second	150%
Ranked First	200%


(b)	Second, the Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Percentile and then the TSR Performance Percentile Payout

Percentage for each Performance Period as follows (using straight-line interpolation between levels above threshold):



TSR Performance Percentile	TSR Performance Percentile Payout Percentage
33% or more below the average TSR for the Peer Group	0%
0% of the average TSR for the Peer Group	100%
33% or more above the average TSR for the Peer Group	200%

(c)

Third, the Committee shall determine the Payout Percentage for each Performance Period by calculating the average of the TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage and the TSR Performance Percentile Payout Percentage, provided, that, if the Company’s TSR calculated for a Performance Period is negative, then the Payout Percentage for that Performance Period shall not exceed 100% regardless of the TSR Performance Percentile and Performance Rank for the Performance Period.


(d)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee has sole and absolute authority and discretion to increase the Payout Percentage as it may deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall the Payout Percentage exceed 200%.

3. Vesting; Delivery of Shares. Unless otherwise provided in accordance with Paragraphs 5 or 6 of this Award Agreement, the Grantee must continue in continuous Employment from the date hereof through the last day of the Performance Cycle, to be entitled to be issued and delivered shares of Common Stock of the Company. If the Grantee remains in continuous Employment from the date hereof through the last day of the Performance Cycle (the “Normal Vesting Date”), the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the Performance Cycle Payout (if any). The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that Grantee will be entitled to receive in settlement of the vested Performance Share Units will be determined as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination of the Performance Cycle Payout under Paragraph 2 and, in any event, between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle. If, in accordance with the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 2, the Performance Cycle Payout is zero, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Units. Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Units pursuant to Paragraphs 2 and 3 and the delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, the rights of the Grantee and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full.

4. Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Paragraphs 5 or 6, if the Grantee’s Employment is terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Cycle, the Grantee’s right to the Performance Share Units shall be forfeited in its entirety as of the date of such termination, and the rights of the Grantee and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be terminated. To the extent that a Xxxxxxx’s

Employment is terminated following the close of the Performance Cycle but prior to the delivery of shares of Common Stock with respect to the Performance Share Units, the Grantee shall be entitled to shares of Common Stock with respect to the Performance Share Units (if any) hereunder as determined in accordance with Paragraphs 2 and 3.

5. Change in Control; Disability, Death, Termination Other than for Cause, Termination for Good Reason Prior to Retirement. In the event of (i) a Change in Control or (ii) the Grantee’s Employment is terminated by reason of (A) disability or death, (B) termination by the Company other than for Cause prior to Retirement, or (C) for Grantee’s with employment agreements that provide for severance rights on a termination by the Grantee for Good Reason, termination by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement with a member of the Company Group) prior to Retirement, the Grantee’s right to receive the Performance Share Units shall vest in full as of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control or such termination of employment, as applicable, and the Payout Percentage for each Performance Period in the Performance Cycle shall be deemed to be 100%. The Company shall delivery to the Grantee a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the Performance Share Units multiplied by the Payout Percentage specified in the prior sentence within sixty days of the consummation of the Change in Control or Grantee’s termination of employment, as applicable; provided, however, that the timing of the delivery of shares of Common Stock within such sixty-day period shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment or delivery. Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Share Units pursuant to this Paragraph 5 and the delivery of shares the rights of the Grantee and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full.

6. Termination of Employment due to Retirement. In the event of the Retirement of the Grantee after nine months of the Performance Cycle have elapsed, the Grantee’s Performance Share Units shall be settled based on the performance for the Performance Cycle and payable on a pro-rata basis as determined and certified by the Committee after the close of the Performance Cycle, as described below. Subject to the negative discretion of the Committee, the Grantee will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the product of (i) the pro-rata vesting percentage equal to the days of Grantee’s Employment during the Performance Cycle divided by the total days in the Performance Cycle and (ii) the Performance Cycle Payout Value. Such transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 3 as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 2 and, in any event, between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle. If, in accordance with the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 2, the Performance Cycle Payout is zero, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Share Units. Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Share Units pursuant to this Paragraph 6 and the delivery of shares as provided above, if any, the rights of the Grantee and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full. The death of the Grantee following Retirement but prior to the close of the Performance Cycle shall have no effect on this Paragraph 6.

7. Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as determined by the Company in accordance with its established policy, any settlement of Awards under this Award Agreement that would be a payment of deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code with respect to the Grantee as a result of the Grantee’s “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code (other than as a result of death) and that would otherwise be paid within six months of the Grantee’s separation from service shall be payable on the date that is one day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Plan, the Company or its designated representative shall have the right to withhold applicable taxes from the shares of Common Stock and cash otherwise payable to the Grantee, or from other compensation payable to the Grantee (to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code), at the time of the delivery of such shares. Such withholding may be effected through the netting of shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder.

9. No Shareholder Rights. The Grantee shall in no way be entitled to any of the rights of a shareholder as a result of this Award Agreement unless and until such time as shares of Common Stock have been issued and delivered to the Grantee in settlement of the Performance Share Units.

10. Nonassignability. Upon the Grantee’s death, the Performance Share Units may be transferred by will or by the laws governing the descent and distribution of the Grantee’s estate. Otherwise, the Grantee may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any portion of the Performance Share Units, and any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or encumber any portion of the Performance Share Units shall have no effect.

11. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor this Award Agreement shall be construed as giving the Grantee the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, any member of the Company Group. Further, any member of the Company Group may at any time dismiss the Grantee or discontinue any employment or consulting relationship, free from liability or any claim under the Plan or this Award Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any determinations as to whether the Grantee continues to be employed shall be at the discretion of the Committee.

12. Modification of Award Agreement. Any modification of this Award Agreement shall be binding only if evidenced in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company, provided that no modification may, without the consent of the Grantee, adversely affect the rights of the Grantee hereunder.

The AAA shall provide the parties hereto with lists for the selection of arbitrators composed entirely of arbitrators who are members of the National Academy of Arbitrators and who have prior experience in the arbitration of disputes between employers and senior executives. The determination of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and judgment therein may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of the arbitration.

16. Section Headings; Construction. The section headings contained herein are for the purpose of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of the sections.

19. Definitions. For purposes of this Award Agreement:

“Beginning Stock Price” means the average of the daily closing price of common stock for the thirty (30) calendar days immediately prior to the commencement of the Performance Period or the Performance Cycle, as the case may be, historically adjusted, if necessary, for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalizations, or similar corporate events that occur during the measurement period.

“Change in Control” for purposes of this Award Agreement shall have the same definition as under the PBF Energy Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and such definition and associated terms are hereby incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference.

“Company Group” means the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

“Employment” means employment with, or the provision of services to, the Company Group. For purposes of this Award Agreement, Employment shall also include any period of time during which the Grantee is on temporarily disability status.

“Ending Stock Price” means the average of the daily closing price of common stock for the thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of the Performance Period or the Performance Cycle, as the case may be, historically adjusted, if necessary, for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalizations, or similar corporate events that occur during the measurement period.

“Payout Percentage” means the average of the TSR Performance Rank Payout Percentage and the TSR Performance Percentile Payout Percentage (from 0% to 200%) determined by the Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 2, which shall be used to determine the Performance Period Payout for the applicable Performance Period.

“Peer Group” means (x) Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Valero Energy Corporation, Delek US Holdings, Inc., HollyFrontier Corporation and Xxxxxxxx 66 Company or (y) such other group of companies and indices (such as the S&P 1000 Energy Index) that are pre-established by the Committee which principally represent a group of selected peers, or such other group of companies as selected and pre-established by the Committee. Such pre-established Peer Group is subject to the following adjustments:

(a) If a member of the Peer Group is substantially acquired by another company, the acquired Peer Group company will be removed from the Peer Group for the performance periods not yet completed and for the entire 36-month Performance Cycle.

(b) If a member of the Peer Group sells, spins-off, or disposes of a portion of its business, then such Peer Group company will remain in the Peer

Group for the Performance Cycle unless such disposition(s) results in the disposition of more than 50% of such company’s total assets during the Performance Cycle.

(c) If a member of the Peer Group acquires another company, the acquiring Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group for the Performance Cycle, unless the newly formed company’s primary business no longer satisfies the criteria for which such member was originally selected as a member of the Peer Group, then in such case the company shall be removed from the Peer Group.

(d) If any member of the Peer Group splits its stock, such company’s TSR performance will be adjusted for the stock split so as not to give an advantage or disadvantage to such company by comparison to the other companies.

(e) If a member of the Peer Group is (x) delisted on all major U.S. stock exchanges, (y) is no longer publicly traded or (z) files for bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization during the Performance Cycle, such member will remain in the Peer Group positioned below the lowest performing non-bankrupt member of the Peer Group for performance periods not yet completed and for the entire 36-month Performance Cycle.

In addition, the Compensation Committee shall have the discretionary authority to make other appropriate adjustments, in response to a change in circumstances after the commencement of the Performance Cycle that results in a member of the Peer Group no longer satisfying the criteria for which such member was originally selected. In applying the described adjustments, in the event that any adjustment is made to the Peer Group during any Performance Cycle, PBF’s TSR ranking within the peer group will be calculated for any incomplete or future performance periods (including the entire 36-month Performance Cycle) as if that company was not a peer at the start of each incomplete performance period. TSR ranking for performance periods completed prior to the removal of the peer will not be recalculated.

“Performance Cycle” means the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020.

“Performance Cycle Payout” means the aggregate of the Performance Period Payouts for the Performance Cycle plus the Dividend Equivalent Awards.

“Performance Period Payout” means for each of the Performance Periods set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) in Paragraph 2, the product of the Payout Percentage for such Performance Period, one-quarter (1/4) of the number of Performance Share Units.

“Retirement” means for a Grantee with five or more years of Employment, termination on or after the Grantee's 55th birthday, provided that such termination constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

“TSR Performance Percentile” means the ranking of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for a performance period as compared to the average Total Shareholder Return of the Peer Group companies, as determined at the end of each Performance Period.

“Total Shareholder Return” or “TSR” means for the Company and each entity in the Peer Group, the number derived using the following formula:

(End Stock Price - Beginning Stock Price) + Cumulative Dividends

Beginning Stock Price

21. Deferral of Payout. A Grantee who qualifies as a Participant under an LTIP Performance Unit Deferral Plan may, subject to such restrictions and requirements under Section 409A of the Code, irrevocably elect to defer to a date that is at least five years after the date of the conversion of vested Performance Share Units into shares of Common Stock. The election to defer must be made no later than the end of the second year of the performance measurement period, or such earlier date as may be specified by the Committee. The election will not be effective for 12 months following the election date in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. The amount subject to a deferral election will be converted to deferred share units that will convert into shares of Common Stock on the distribution date as specified in the deferral election and the LTIP Performance Unit Deferral Plan. Deferred share units will be credited with Dividend Equivalent Awards. Under U.S. income tax law, a recipient will generally not be subject to income tax until the resulting share units are converted to shares of Common Stock and distributed. The deferred share units will not be funded by the Company. In this regard, a recipient’s rights to deferred share units are those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Details of the deferral of Performance Share Units into deferred share units will be provided with the election materials. The opportunity to make such an election is subject to changes in Federal tax law. The Committee reserves the right to discontinue offering Performance Share deferral elections at any time for any reason it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
