Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective April 1, 2012, Tesoro Corporation ("Tesoro") entered into a transaction (the "Contribution") among Tesoro Logistics LP (the "Partnership" or "TLLP"), Tesoro Logistics GP LLC (the "General Partner"), Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company ("TRMC") and Tesoro Logistics Operations, LLC (the "Operating Company") to contribute from TRMC through the General Partner and the Partnership to the Operating Company the Martinez Crude Oil Marine Terminal and associated pipelines (the "Terminal") in Martinez, California. The Contribution was made in exchange for consideration from the Partnership to the General Partner of $75.0 million, comprised of $67.5 million in cash financed with borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility and the issuance of equity with a combined fair value of $7.5 million. The equity is comprised of 4,212 general partner units to maintain the General Partner's 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and 206,362 common units representing an approximate 1% limited partner interest in the Partnership.

The Terminal contributed is near Tesoro's Martinez, California refinery (the "Refinery") and is located on the Carquinez Straight of San Francisco Bay near the Sacramento River. The Terminal consists of a single-berth dock (the "Wharf Assets and Related Leasehold Improvements"), five crude oil storage tanks with a combined capacity of 425,000 shell barrels and related pipelines that receive crude oil from third-party vessels for delivery to the Refinery and a third-party terminal. Total throughput capacity for the terminal is estimated to be approximately 145,000 barrels per day ("bpd").

Waterborne crude oil can be received at the proprietary wharf for delivery to the Refinery. The Terminal can receive ships of up to 188,500 dead weight tons.

There are five hydrocarbon tanks, with a total shell capacity in excess of 425,000 barrels, and two firewater tanks, with 48,000 barrels of total shell capacity. The tanks have an average age of 72 years with an average estimated 13 years until the next scheduled maintenance turnaround and internal inspection. The facility was recommissioned in 2001. The estimated remaining useful life of all assets contributed ranges from five to 27 years.

The pipelines associated with the Terminal include three crude oil pipelines, one products pipeline and one water pipeline that connect the Terminal to the Refinery and an adjacent third-party terminal.

The Wharf Assets and Related Leasehold Improvements are situated on an offshore parcel of land that is currently being leased by Tesoro from the California State Lands Commission under a term lease (the "Wharf Lease"). The Wharf Lease and the Related Leasehold Improvements and the pipelines will not be transferred to the Partnership until the Wharf Lease is renewed and extended and the transfer is approved by the California State Lands Commission. Fee title to the 70 acre onshore parcel where the tanks are located was conveyed to the Operating Company effective April 1, 2012. The Partnership will manage the operation of all of the assets and receive fees for services commencing April 1, 2012.
 
The Partnership will reimburse Tesoro and its subsidiaries for the provision of field-level employees supporting the Terminal under the terms of the Amended and Restated Operational Services Agreement.

On April 2, 2012, Tesoro issued a press release announcing the contribution of the Terminal to the Partnership which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.

In connection with the Contribution, Tesoro entered into the following material definitive agreements:

Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement

The description of the Contribution Agreement (as defined below) provided below under Item 2.01 is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference. A copy of the Contribution Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement

Effective April 1, 2012, in connection with the Contribution, Tesoro entered into an Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the "Amended Omnibus Agreement") among the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC, Tesoro Alaska Company ("Tesoro Alaska") and Tesoro Companies, Inc. ("TCI") that amends and restates the original agreement those parties entered into at the time of the Partnership's initial public offering. The Amended Omnibus Agreement added the following matters to the original agreement:

the application of the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement to additional contributions from Tesoro and its affiliates to the Partnership and its affiliates, including the assets in the Contribution;
the increase in the annual deductible from $0.25 million to $0.4 million related to the obligations of the applicable Tesoro affiliate that contributed assets to indemnify the Partnership for certain claims, losses and expenses the Partnership incurs attributable to, among other matters, certain environmental, title, tax and other liabilities relating to those assets contributed to the Partnership;
clarified that the Partnership is not required to reimburse Tesoro and its subsidiaries for the cost of their employees with respect to general and administrative services provided by those employees pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement; and
added a requirement that the Partnership reimburse Tesoro and its subsidiaries for any severance obligations to the President of the General Partner or the Vice President, Logistics of the General Partner in the event of a change of control, as defined in the applicable management stability agreement, but no other severance costs.

So long as Tesoro controls the General Partner, the Amended Omnibus Agreement will remain in full force and effect unless mutually terminated by the parties. If Tesoro ceases to control the General Partner, either party may terminate the Amended Omnibus Agreement, provided that the indemnification obligations of the parties made under the Omnibus Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Omnibus Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement

Effective April 1, 2012, in connection with the Contribution, TRMC entered into a 10-year use and throughput agreement (the "Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement") with the Operating Company under which the pipelines and tanks at the Terminal will be dedicated and used exclusively for the throughput and storage of TRMC's crude oil and refined products. Under the agreement, TRMC is obligated to transport an average of at least 65,000 bpd of crude oil per month at a throughput and tankage fee of $0.55 per barrel. An excess volume throughput fee of $0.10 per barrel will be charged for volumes in excess of 70,000 bpd. In addition, TRMC will pay a $30,000 per month fee for unlimited use of the refined products pipeline at the Terminal. The fees under the agreement are indexed for inflation and the agreement gives TRMC the option to renew for two five-year terms.

If TRMC fails to transport aggregate volumes equal to its minimum throughput commitment during any calendar month, TRMC will owe the Operating Company a shortfall payment equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the throughput and tankage fee. The amount of any shortfall payment paid by TRMC will be credited against any amounts owed by TRMC for the transportation of volumes in excess of its minimum throughput commitment during any of the succeeding three months.

Prior to the assignment of the Wharf Lease and Related Leasehold Improvements to the Operating Company, the Operating Company will manage operation of these assets and reimburse TRMC for its ongoing lease expenses.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Relationships

Each of the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC, Tesoro Alaska, TCI and the Operating Company is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Tesoro. As a result, certain individuals, including officers and directors of Tesoro and the General Partner, serve as officers and/or directors of more than one of such other entities. After the Contribution, the General Partner, as the general partner of the Partnership, holds 626,861 general partner units of the Partnership, which represents a 2% general partner interest, and 206,362 common units of the Partnership, which represents an approximate 1% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Tesoro, together with TRMC, Tesoro Alaska and the General Partner, holds 511,252 common units and 15,254,890 subordinated units of the Partnership, which represent a 50% limited partner interest, in addition to the 2% general partner interest in the Partnership discussed above.

In addition, some of the lenders under our Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with Tesoro and its subsidiaries or the Partnership or its subsidiaries.

Amendment No. 1 and Joinder to Credit Agreement
 
In addition to the agreements entered into in connection with the Contribution, the Partnership entered into the following material agreement:
 
On March 30, 2012, the Partnership entered into an Amendment No. 1 and Joinder (the "First Amendment") to its senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated April 26, 2011, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions as lenders. Concurrently with the execution of the First Amendment, and pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Partnership exercised its option to increase the size of the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement to an aggregate of $300 million.

The First Amendment provides for certain amendments to the Credit Agreement relating to the Contribution, modified certain definitions and permits the Partnership to request that the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement be increased up to an aggregate of $450 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, is guaranteed by all of the Partnership's subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, is scheduled to mature on April 25, 2014.
 
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

These transfers and distributions were made in a series of steps outlined in the Contribution Agreement. The Wharf Lease and the Related Leasehold Improvements will be transferred to the Partnership when the Wharf Lease is renewed and extended and the transfer approved by the California State Lands Commission.

The Operating Company has the option to rescind the Contribution if the California State Lands Commission has issued a final determination, after the exhaustion of all possible administrative appeals within the applicable agency, (i) to refuse to extend and renew the Wharf Lease to allow the Operating Company to operate the Wharf for the initial 10-year term of the Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement, (ii) to refuse to approve the assignment of the Wharf Lease to the Operating Company at the time of the extension of the Wharf Lease (or earlier if the Operating Company requests an assignment pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, or (iii) to impose conditions upon an extension and renewal or an assignment of the Wharf Lease that are unacceptable to the Operating Company and not consistent with the current terms thereof (other than increased rent, in accordance with current standards). If rescinded, the consideration previously paid will be reimbursed, the assets shall be assigned back to TRMC and the agreements entered into with respect to the Contribution shall be terminated.
In addition, at least 30 days prior to any expiration or termination of the Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement (except for a termination based on cessation of Refinery operations (as defined in the Amorco Marine Terminal Use and Throughput Agreement)), TRMC may deliver written notice to the Operating Company of its intent to repurchase all of the contributed assets. Such purchase shall be at the fair market value of such assets.

(iv) the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Asset shall occur no later than 180 days following receipt by ROFO Asset Owner of the ROFO Response pursuant to Section 6.2(a) ;

17



(vi) neither the applicable ROFO Asset Owner nor the applicable Partnership Group Member shall have any obligation to sell or buy the applicable ROFO Asset if any of the consents referred to in Section 6.1(b)(v) has not been obtained.

If a ROFO Response with respect to any Proposed Transaction is rejected by the applicable ROFO Asset Owner, such ROFO Asset Owner shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party (i) on terms and conditions (excluding those relating to price) that are not more favorable in the aggregate to such third party than those proposed in respect of the Partnership Group in the ROFO Response and (ii) at a price equal to no less than 100% of the price offered by the applicable Partnership Group Member in the ROFO Response to such ROFO Asset Owner.

For Amorco Contribution Agreement listed on Schedule VII :
None.








Schedule II
Environmental Matters
For Initial Contribution Agreement set forth on Schedule VII :
1. Anchorage #1 Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline and diesel releases from previously buried pipelines. The site is considered characterized and is currently undergoing removal of product from the water table, groundwater treatment, and long-term monitoring.
2. Anchorage #2 Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro's purchase of the facility. The site is considered characterized and is currently undergoing groundwater monitoring and treatment. Off-site groundwater investigations are scheduled for 2012.
3. Stockton Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline and diesel releases from pipelines and/or product storage tanks. The site is considered substantially characterized and is undergoing groundwater treatment and groundwater monitoring. Off-site groundwater impacts are commingled with neighboring petroleum storage terminals.
4. Burley Terminal groundwater was impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro's purchase of the facility. Groundwater impacts were commingled with neighboring petroleum storage terminals. Hydrocarbon concentrations in groundwater samples do not exceed previously established target levels for groundwater and surface water protection. Regulatory closure is pending.
5. Wilmington Sales Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro's purchase of the facility. Groundwater investigation and monitoring is on-going. Tesoro is indemnified by the previous owner for Investigation and remediation obligations.
6. Salt Lake City Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline and diesel releases from pipelines and/or product storage tanks occurring prior to Tesoro's purchase of the facility. The site is considered characterized and is currently undergoing removal of product from the water table and long-term monitoring. There are no known soil or groundwater impacts at the Northwest Crude Oil tank farm.
7. The Stockton Terminal emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) below “major source” emission criteria. In 2010, the San Joaquin Air Quality Management District announced it is reducing its major source threshold. When the Stockton Terminal expands its operations or increases throughput, the potential to emit VOC will increase and the Stockton terminal will become subject to regulation as a major source. This will require a Title V Air Operating Permit. In addition, the Stockton facility will be required to install an automated continuous emission monitor at a cost of approximately $75,000.







For Amorco Contribution Agreement set forth on Schedule VII :

1.      The soil and groundwater on the site of the Tankage, as defined in the Amorco Contribution Agreement, have been impacted by methyl tertiary butyl ether releases from previously buried pipelines.

Consequently, neither Party shall have any right or remedy against the other Party if the actual Commencement Date is earlier or later than the anticipated Commencement Date.
4.
TERM

The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue through March 31, 2022 (the “ Initial Term ”); provided , however , that TRMC may, at its option, extend the Initial Term for up to two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each, an “ Extension Period ”) by providing written notice of its intent to TLO no less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period. The Initial Term, and any extensions of this Agreement as provided above, shall be referred to herein as the “ Term ”.
5.
THROUGHPUT, TANKAGE AND USAGE FEES; PASS THROUGH COSTS

(a)     Throughput and Tankage Fees . TRMC agrees to pay to TLO the following fees for all Barrels of crude oil throughput by TRMC at the Wharf and on the Crude Oil Pipelines, and stored at the Storage Facility (collectively, the “ Throughput and Tankage Fees ”):
(i)    a Minimum Throughput Commitment Fee (the “ MTCF ”) of $1,087,395.65 per Month which is $0.55/Barrel multiplied by the Minimum Throughput Commitment; plus
(ii)    $0.55/Barrel for all vessel receipts throughput in a Month in excess of the Minimum Throughput Commitment but less than 2,129,167 Barrels (the “ Incremental Volume Throughput Fee ”); plus
(iii)     $0.10/Barrel for all vessel receipts throughput in a Month in excess of 2,129,167 Barrels (the “ Excess Volume Throughput Fee ”), such excess encompassing the aggregate use of the Wharf, Tanks and Crude Oil Pipelines, and such fee to be the exclusive throughput fee for

6
\36164683.6



volumes in excess of 2,129,167 Barrels in a Month; provided , however , that any applicable costs specified in Section 6 below shall still apply to any such excess volumes.
(b)     Unlimited Refined Products Pipeline Use Fee . TRMC agrees to pay to TLO a $30,000/Month flat fee for TRMC's unlimited use of the Refined Products Pipeline (the “ URPP Use Fee ”), subject to the physical capacity thereof.

(ii)    TLO has the right to adjust the MTCF to include the actual increase of any CSLC lease rental expense under the Lease Renewal.
6.
SURCHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENTS; CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

(a) Surcharges and Reimbursements . TRMC shall reimburse TLO for, or TLO shall be permitted to charge TRMC an additional per Barrel surcharge for any and all of the following:

(i) the actual cost of any capital expenditures that TLO agrees to make upon TRMC's request, including those provided for in Section 6(c) through (e) below;

(ii) any cleaning, degassing or other preparation of the Tanks at the expiration of this Agreement or as specifically requested by TRMC;

(iii) The costs that TLO incurs in complying with any new Applicable Laws that affect the Storage Facility, the Pipelines or services provided by TLO to TRMC hereunder; provided , that (A) compliance by TLO with any such new law or regulation requires substantial unanticipated capital expenditures by TLO, (B) TLO has made good faith efforts to mitigate the effect of any such law or regulation and (C) TLO has negotiated in good faith with TRMC in order to agree on the level of any such surcharge;

(iv) Any capital expenditures or other costs incurred by TLO for currently unanticipated improvements to the Wharf that may be required by the CSLC in connection with the Lease Renewal; provided , that (A) TLO has made good faith efforts to mitigate those costs and (B) TLO has negotiated in good faith with TRMC in order to agree on the level of any surcharge;

(v) All taxes (other than ad valorem taxes, property taxes, income taxes, gross receipt taxes, payroll taxes and similar taxes) that TLO specifically incurs on TRMC's behalf for the services TLO provides to TRMC hereunder, if such reimbursement is not prohibited by law;

(vi) Any costs for Wharf dredging beyond routine maintenance dredging that materially increases operating costs above historical levels;

(vii) Any future assessments made by the Army Corp of Engineers or other agencies for dredging or deepening of the channels leading to the Wharf; provided ,

7
\36164683.6



however , that TRMC will have approval authority for discretionary Army Corp of Engineers expenditures that may require a surcharge to be imposed; and

(viii) If TRMC objects to TLO incurring any costs under items (iv), (vi) or (vii) above, or to the level of any surcharge under (iii) above, then TLO shall incur and impose a surcharge for those expenditures as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be mandatory. In such case, if TLO determines that all or some costs to which TRMC has objected could be reduced or mitigated by changes in operation of any of the Amorco Assets, including taking an Amorco Asset out of service, reducing capacity of an Amorco Asset, or restricting use of an Amorco Asset, then TRMC may request that TLO do so, rather than imposing a surcharge to maintain service at a particular level, and in that event, TLO shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate such request; provided that TLO shall not be required to take any actions that it believes in good faith might result in a violation of any Operating Requirement and such reduction in capacity shall not be a Force Majeure event or other basis for any reduction in TRMC's Minimum Throughput Commitment or for a reduction in any fees except surcharges avoided by such reduction in capacity.

(b) Lease Renewal Costs . TLO shall be permitted to charge TRMC an additional per Barrel surcharge for an amount sufficient to compensate TLO for an increase in operating costs resulting from the actual increase of any CSLC lease rental expense under the Lease Renewal;

(c) Service Interruptions . TLO shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service at the Wharf, the Storage Facility and each Pipeline. TLO shall promptly inform TRMC's operational personnel of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service at the Wharf, any Pipeline or Tank, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions TLO is taking to resume full operations, provided that TLO shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, TRMC of any such matters except to the extent TRMC has been materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay. To the extent practicable, TLO shall coordinate repairs and maintenance on the Amorco Assets with TRMC's planned shipping schedule to minimize downtime when TRMC has scheduled use of the Amorco Assets. Notwithstanding any of the immediately foregoing to the contrary, if TRMC is unable to throughput 65,000 Barrels on any day when TRMC has scheduled the berthing of a vessel at the Wharf, by reason of any of the Amorco Assets being out of service, the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be reduced by 65,000 Barrels per day for each full day that the Wharf remains out of service to allow berthing and unloading by such vessel and delivery of the cargo at the Refinery.

(d) Maintenance and Repair Standards . Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TLO shall maintain the Wharf and each Pipeline and Tank in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of TRMC's Products at least equal to the current Operating Capacity for such Pipeline and Tanks and the Wharf and Storage Facility as a whole. TLO's obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or other interruption of service, to the extent such Force Majeure or other interruption of service impairs TLO's ability to perform such obligations. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput or storage capacity of the Wharf, any Pipeline or Tank should fall below its current Operating Capacity, then within a reasonable period of time thereafter, TLO shall make commercially reasonable repairs to restore the capacity of the Wharf, such Pipeline or Tank to current Operating Capacity (“ Restoration ”). Except as provided below in Section 6(e), all of such Restoration shall be at TLO's cost and expense unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of TRMC, its employees, agents or customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TLO shall have only one Tank and

8
\36164683.6



transfer pump at a time out for scheduled maintenance. TLO will make best commercial efforts to coordinate major scheduled maintenance projects or other planned Dock outages with the Refinery's #50 Crude Unit turnaround schedule.

(e) Capacity Resolution .    In the event of the failure of TLO to maintain the Wharf, any Pipeline or Tank in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput and store a volume of TRMC's Products equal to its current Operating Capacity, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days' advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (as defined below). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration of capacity on the Wharf, Pipeline or Tank which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by TLO to fully accomplish Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “ Capacity Resolution ”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration TLO's economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and TRMC's requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of TRMC's Products at the Wharf, Pipelines and Storage Facility, to the extent the Wharf, Pipelines and Storage Facility have capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed; provided , however , that the Throughput and Tankage Fee shall be reduced to account for the reduced Operating Capacity until such Restoration is complete. In the event that TRMC's economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the Wharf, Pipeline or Tank in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentences, TRMC may require TLO to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to TRMC's payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event that the Operating Capacity of a Tank is reduced, and the Parties agree that the Restoration of such Tank to its full Operating Capacity is not justified under the standards set forth in the preceding sentences, then the Parties shall negotiate an appropriate adjustment to the Throughput and Tankage Fees to account for the reduced Operating Capacity available for TRMC's use. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan in which TRMC agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost or a reduced Throughput and Tankage Fee, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 below as a result of the events necessitating the Restoration contemplated by this Section 6(e), so long as any such Restoration is completed with due diligence. TRMC shall pay its portion of the Restoration costs to TLO in advance based on an estimate based on reasonable engineering standards promulgated by the Association for Facilities Engineering . Upon completion, TRMC shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by TRMC pursuant to this Section 6(e) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of TLO's invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, TLO shall pay TRMC the excess of the estimate paid by TRMC over TLO's actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

(f) TRMC's Right To Cure . If at any time after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TLO either (i) refuses or fails to meet with TRMC within the period set forth in Section 6(e), (ii) fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 6(e), or (iii) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, TRMC may, as its sole remedy for any breach by TLO of any of its obligations under Section 6(e), require TLO to complete a Restoration of the affected Amorco Asset, and the Throughput and Tankage Fee shall be reduced to account for the reduced Operating Capacity until such Restoration is completed. Any such Restoration required under this Section 6(f) shall be completed by TLO at TRMC's cost. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and

9
\36164683.6



throughput of TRMC's Products at the affected Amorco Asset while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by TLO pursuant to this Section 6(f) shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable pipeline industry standards and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and/or regulations. Additionally, during such period after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TRMC may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement (other than termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by TLO of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make Restorations as described herein.

(2) any and all repairs and maintenance costs and capital expenditures for the Wharf and Pipelines, including without limitation all state required Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standards (“ MOTEMS ”) obligations (other than those originally scheduled prior to the Commencement Date), but excluding those Amorco related-items specified in Schedule VI of the Omnibus Agreement, and any and all repairs and maintenance costs and capital expenditures resulting from a defect in existence at the time of the conveyance of the Wharf and Pipelines to TLO to the extent to which TRMC shall indemnify TLO pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement;

(3) all right of way expenses for the Pipelines; and

(4) without duplication of any amounts reimbursed or paid under the Omnibus Agreement or the Operational Services Agreement, any and all taxes, fees, insurance premiums, assessments or spill planning and/or response costs (except those costs for oil spill response services provided by the Marine Preservation Association related to obligations for oil spill prevention response, as provided in Schedule IV of the Omnibus Agreement) incurred by TRMC as lessee under the Wharf Lease or owner of the Pipelines.

(iii)    To the extent that any costs for which TLO should reimburse TRMC would be costs that could be immediately recovered by TLO by reason of per barrel surcharge to TRMC, as otherwise provided in Section 6, then TLO shall not be required to reimburse TRMC, and the surcharges shall not apply to such costs.

(iv)    TLO will also indemnify TRMC against any other claims, liabilities or losses that TRMC incurs in its status as lessee under the Wharf Lease or owner of the Pipelines during the Interim Period.

10
\36164683.6




(ii)    If the Lease Renewal requires a retroactive payment for increased rentals under the Wharf Lease prior to the date the Lease Renewal is issued by the CSLC, then TRMC shall remain solely responsible for paying such increased rentals for the prior period. TLO shall not be required to reimburse TRMC for any such retroactive increase attributable to the Interim Period, nor shall the MTCF be increased to cover such retroactive increased rentals attributable to the Interim Period.

( iii)    It is anticipated that TRMC may seek to obtain from the CSLC a renewal and extension of its nearby Avon wharf at the same time that it obtains a renewal and assignment of the Wharf Lease for the Amorco Wharf. TRMC will remain solely responsible for all costs associated with renewal and extension of the lease for the Avon wharf.

(c)     Mutual Covenants . During the Interim Period, both TRMC and TLO covenant as follows:

(i)    To cooperate in good faith to complete the Lease Assignment and the Lease Renewal and to complete the COFR Assignment. The Parties will cooperate and proceed in good faith to expedite issuance by the CSLC of the Lease Renewal and Lease Assignment as soon as reasonably practicable, under terms and procedures consistent with CSLC and state requirements.
    
( ii)    At any time before the issuance of the Lease Renewal, TLO will have the right to request that TRMC assign to TLO the current holdover Wharf Lease, and upon such request, TRMC will act with reasonable diligence, and TLO will cooperate with TRMC, in order to obtain CSLC approval of the transfer of the Wharf Lease as soon as reasonably practicable, under terms and procedures consistent with CSLC and state requirements. Ownership of the Pipelines will be transferred concurrently with such assignment of the Wharf Lease and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to consummate such conveyance.

8.
PAYMENTS

(a)     Monthly Shortfall Credit . If, during any Month, actual Barrels throughput by TRMC are less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment, then TRMC shall nevertheless pay to TLO the MTCF. TRMC shall be entitled to a credit (a “ Shortfall Credit ”) equal to the product of $.55/Barrel multiplied by the difference between the Minimum Throughput Commitment and the volumes actually received at the Wharf during such Month. The Shortfall Credit shall be posted as a credit to TRMC's account, and shall be applied in subsequent Monthly invoices against amounts owed by TRMC for Incremental Volume Throughput Fees and Excess Volume Throughput Fees during any of the succeeding three (3) Months. A Shortfall Credit will be applied in the order in which such Shortfall Credit accrues and any portion of the Shortfall Credit that is not used by TRMC during the succeeding three (3) Months will expire (e.g., a Shortfall Credit which accrues in January will be available in February, March and April, will expire at the end of April, and must be applied prior to applying such Shortfall Credit which accrues in February).
(b)     Monthly Reconciliation . Actual volumes are to be determined Monthly, based upon vessel receipts during that Month and credited towards the Minimum Throughput Commitment in such Month. Deliveries of a vessel's cargo will apply to the Month in which unloading is completed; provided , however , that if a cargo cannot be unloaded in the Month in which unloading was scheduled due to the failure of TLO to perform the unloading as scheduled, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the appropriate Month in which to credit receipt of such cargo. At the end of each Month, TLO

11
\36164683.6



will calculate the total fees that TRMC incurred for throughputting Barrels during such Month, as follows:
(i)
the MTCF for the Minimum Throughput Commitment (with a statement of any applicable Shortfall Credit for underdeliveries); plus
(ii)
the Incremental Volume Throughput Fee and Excess Volume Throughput Fee for actual Barrels shipped during such Month in excess of the Minimum Throughput Commitment; plus
(iii)
the URPP Use Fee for such Month; less
(iv)
any applicable Shortfall Credits, provided , however , that the Shortfall Credits applied in any Month shall not exceed the amount of Throughput and Tankage Fees allocable for such Month to excess volumes; plus

(iii)    imposed conditions upon the Lease Renewal or Lease Assignment that are unacceptable to TLO and not consistent with current terms (other than increased rent, in accordance with current standards);

and TLO has rescinded the contribution of the Amorco Assets made pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, then TLO may terminate this Agreement effective as of the date of rescission specifically provided for in the Contribution Agreement; provided , however , that indemnities will remain in place for liabilities and conditions arising prior to the Commencement Date and for liabilities relating to TLO's operation of the Amorco Assets between the Commencement Date and the date of rescission.

18
\36164683.6



Force Majeure event, subject to Sections 6(c) through (f) above.

19
\36164683.6



reimbursement for TRMC's costs as Lessee of the Wharf Lease and owner of the Pipelines shall continue through the Interim Period.
(f)    TRMC is not permitted to suspend or reduce its obligations under this Agreement in connection with a shutdown of the Refinery for scheduled turnarounds or other regular servicing or maintenance. If refining operations at the Refinery are suspended for any reason (including Refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance), then TRMC shall remain liable for the Throughput and Tankage Fees and the URPP Use Fee and any reimbursements or surcharges under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension, unless and until this Agreement is terminated as provided above.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(d) In the event that TLO proposes to sell all or substantially all of the Amorco Assets to a third party, TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days' prior written notice of any such sale, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof, including without limitation, a firm commitment by a capable third party purchaser to purchase the Amorco Assets at specified price, and (ii) a sixty (60)-day period (beginning upon TRMC's receipt of such written notice) (the “ Purchase First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to purchase the Amorco Assets from TLO (the “ Purchase Right of First Refusal ”).  If TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer with respect to such sale during the Purchase First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to sell the Amorco Assets to TRMC on the same terms set forth in such offer to purchase by the third party. If TRMC does not exercise its Purchase Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the sale of the Amorco Assets. If such sale is not consummated during such ninety (90) period, the terms and conditions of this Section 23(d) shall again become effective.

Notwithstanding Section 26(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party upon termination of this Agreement, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party's legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party's customary procedures and policies; provided , however , that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 26, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

24
\36164683.6



duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the Schedules, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries . It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(g) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

Under no circumstances shall the scope of such audit include the books, accounts or records of a third party. All information that an auditor acquires shall be kept strictly confidential. An auditor may be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement if it is deemed necessary by the Party being audited. Under no circumstances may an auditor disclose third-party information, including, but not limited to third-party customer identities and third-party pricing information, to the Party exercising its right for an audit without the written permission of the Party being audited.

6.2
Hierarchy : In the event of a conflict between these GTCs and the Agreement or any exhibits or annexes to these GTCs, the following hierarchy shall apply:
6.2.1
The Agreement shall control and take precedence over the exhibits/annexes and the GTCs, and then;

TRMC must provide evidence of insurance coverage required by this Agreement.

3.0    NOMINATION AND SCHEDULING GUIDELINES
3.1
Marine Vessel Nominations and Scheduling—Review Process . TLO or TLO’s designated agent will review Marine Vessel survey information and inspection history to insure that Marine Vessels calling at the Amorco Terminal meet accepted industry standards suitable for berthing. This review process attached as Exhibits B-1 or “vetting” will be required for all Marine Vessels calling at the marine terminal. Marine Vessel nominations will not be accepted until such time that the Marine Vessel vetting process has been successfully completed or confirmed. Marine Vessel acceptance or rejection shall be communicated by TLO within a reasonable time frame. The Amorco Terminal also maintains the right to refuse docking of a Marine Vessel if it deems that vessel to be unsafe by TLO. TLO’s acceptance of any Marine Vessel shall not constitute a continuous acceptance of such Marine Vessel for any subsequent loading or discharge. TLO reserves the right to refuse acceptance of a Marine Vessel following its docking at the Amorco Terminal if the TLO determines that the Marine Vessel and/or its crew are unfit for service. Any rejection once the Marine Vessel is at the Amorco Terminal requires TLO to notify the TRMC immediately.

3.2
Vessel Nominations and Scheduling—Procedure . The basis for scheduling all water-borne movements utilizing the Marine Terminal will be on a first come, first serve basis or as mutually acceptable for Marine Vessel nominations made by TRMC to TLO, who will coordinate such Marine Vessel nominations with the scheduling supervisor for the Marine Terminal. The estimated times of arrivals (“ETA”) at the entrance to the Port will be a determining factor for the berth assignments. The Marine Vessel nomination and scheduling guidelines are outlined below:

3.2.1
Thirty (30) days prior to ETA at the entrance to the Port, TRMC shall notify TLO of the expected Marine Vessel arrival date.
3.2.2
Ten (10) days prior to ETA at entrance to the Port, TRMC shall notify TLO of any changes to the Marine Vessel arrival date.
3.2.3
Five (5) days prior to scheduled ETA (date and time), TRMC shall notify TLO of any changes to the Marine Vessel arrival date.
3.2.4
Seventy-two (72) hours, forty-eight (48) hours and twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled entrance to the Port, TRMC shall notify the TLO scheduler of any changes in ETA, with the seventy-two (72) hour ETA notice being used to “fix” the berthing time as defined below.
3.2.5
After the twenty-four (24) hour notification has been given, TRMC shall notify the TLO scheduler if the ETA at the Wharf changes by more than six (6) hours.


\36164683.5                         6



3.3

EXHIBIT B-1

Tesoro Marine Vessel Vetting Process

Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”) is a San Antonio, Texas based refining and marketing company with deepwater access refineries and/or terminals in Nikiski, Alaska; Anacortes Washington; Martinez, California; Los Angeles, California, and Kapolei, Hawaii.

VETTING POLICY
All vessels must be vetted and accepted before they can be approved to berth at a facility owned or operated by Tesoro.

Vetting is used to determine the suitability and acceptability/non-acceptability of a vessel with the following objectives:
All vessels must comply with applicable rules, regulations and accepted industry practices in respect to safety, pollution prevention, and operational procedures.
The quality of the ship, crew, and owner/operator meet industry and Tesoro requirements.
The vessel has the capability to safely arrive, moor, and depart in respect to the vessel’s particulars, draft, and mooring capabilities.

VETTING PROCESS
Vetting is performed by the Tesoro Vetting group utilizing a dedicated vetting program designed and maintained by Marine Information Systems. The program is called Tesoro Assessment & Ship Clearance (TASC), and it is internet based and provides a central process and record of all vetting activity. TASC includes direct links with Lloyd’s List Intelligence and Q88.com as well as links with SIRE, USCG PSIX, Equasis, Paris MOU, Tokyo MOU, Indian Ocean MOU and other sites that may be useful in the vetting process. TASC also includes a Terminal/Superintendent feedback capability which is an important element of the vetting process.

Vetting requests must be submitted in TASC by Tesoro personnel.

When a vessel is submitted for a vetting clearance the owner or operator must provide or update the following to the Terminal scheduler (as indicated in Annex B) with carbon copy to vetting@tsocorp.com :

Tesoro Petroleum Tanker Questionnaire, Barge Questionnaire, Tug Questionnaire as applicable using the Q88 website http://q88.com/tesoro.aspx . The SIRE VPQ can be imported to Q88 and this auto-populates most of the Tesoro specific questionnaire. There are a few Tesoro specific fields that will need to be completed before saving/sending to Tesoro. When the Tesoro Questionnaire is saved/sent from Q88 the data auto-populates TASC.
Crew Matrix current for the date of the clearance request must be sent or the operator must confirm the published SIRE Crew Matrix is current for the vetting request date.
ISSC with intermediate endorsement verification.
Other documents required for vessels nominated the first time for Tesoro: General Arrangement, Mooring Arrangement, and Capacity Plan.
Certificates required to be provided depending on the region of clearance request: California COFR

The vetting process includes numerous factors such as those listed below, but may include other considerations as circumstances warrant:

Tesoro Terminal/Superintendent Feedback
Review of the Tesoro Questionnaire with special attention to vessel particulars: including DWT, mooring capability, bow mooring arrangement, LOA, Beam, Max Draft and KTM.
SIRE inspection reports.
Port State Reports: USCG PSIX, Tokyo MOU, Paris MOU, Indian MOU, Equasis, etc.

\36164683.5                         9




Past experience with the vessel.

Exhibit 99.1

TESORO CORPORATION CONTRIBUTES MARTINEZ CRUDE OIL MARINE TERMINAL
TO TESORO LOGISTICS



Tesoro Corporation (NYSE:TSO) and Tesoro Logistics LP (NYSE:TLLP) today announced that Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”) has contributed the Martinez Crude Oil Marine Terminal located in Martinez, California to Tesoro Logistics LP (“the Partnership”) for total consideration of $75 million, effective April 1, 2012.

“The contribution of the Martinez Crude Oil Marine Terminal marks Tesoro's first drop-down to the Partnership and demonstrates Tesoro's commitment to capturing the full value of our logistics assets and helping the Partnership expand its portfolio,” said Greg Goff, Tesoro Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer and Tesoro Logistics' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to growing the Partnership's distributions and expect this transaction to be immediately accretive.”

The Martinez Crude Oil Marine Terminal is located on the Sacramento River near Tesoro's Martinez refinery and consists of a single-berth dock, five crude oil storage tanks with a combined 425,000 barrels of capacity and related pipelines. The terminal receives crude oil through marine vessels for delivery to Tesoro's Martinez refinery. Total throughput capacity for the terminal is approximately 145,000 barrels per day.

The purchase price of $75 million included cash of $67.5 million and Tesoro Logistics equity valued at approximately $7.5 million. The cash consideration was financed with borrowings under Tesoro Logistics' revolving credit facility. The equity consideration was based on the average daily closing price for the 10 trading days prior to the effective date of April 1, 2012, or $35.62 per unit, with 98% in the form of common units and 2% in the form of general partner units.

In connection with the closing of the proposed transaction, Tesoro and the Partnership have entered into a 10-year terminalling agreement with a minimum throughput commitment. Tesoro Logistics expects that this contribution will result in an estimated $15 million of incremental revenue, of which more than 90% is based on minimum committed throughput, and $8 million of incremental annual EBITDA.

On March 30, 2012, the Partnership amended its senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions and lenders. Concurrent with the execution of the amendment, the Partnership exercised its option to increase the size of the loan commitments to an aggregate of $300 million. Additionally, the Partnership is permitted to request that the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement be increased up to an aggregate of $450 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all of the Partnership's subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on April 25, 2014.

(a) We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest and financing costs and depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") but is a supplemental financial measure that is used by management and may be used by external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to assess:
our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
