Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective November 15, 2012, Tesoro Corporation ("the Company" or "Tesoro") entered into a transaction (the "Sale") with Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company ("TRMC"), Tesoro Logistics LP (the "Partnership"), Tesoro Logistics GP LLC (the "General Partner") and Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC (the "Operating Company") pursuant to which TRMC sold, through the General Partner and the Partnership to the Operating Company, the Anacortes rail facility assets (the "Anacortes Rail Facility") located in Anacortes, Washington.

The Sale was made in exchange for consideration of $180 million, comprised of $162 million in cash and the issuance of equity with a combined fair value of $18 million. The equity is comprised of 93,289 general partner units and 309,838 common units, representing slightly less than a 1% limited partner interest in the Partnership.

The Anacortes Rail Facility includes a four-track unloading platform, two receiving and departing tracks capable of handling a 100-car unit train and two additional short track spurs, as well as other related assets and properties associated with the facility. The facility, which was placed in service in September 2012, has a permitted capacity to deliver up to 50,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of Bakken crude oil to the Company's Washington refinery.

The Company issued a press release on November 15, 2012, announcing the Sale, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.

In connection with the Sale, the Company entered into the following material definitive agreements:

Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement

The description of the Contribution Agreement (as defined below) is provided below under Item 2.01 and 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.

Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement

Effective November 15, 2012, in connection with the Sale, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the "Second Amended Omnibus Agreement") with the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC, Tesoro Alaska Company ("Tesoro Alaska") and Tesoro Companies, Inc. ("TCI") that amends and restates the amended and restated agreement those parties entered into on April 1, 2012. The Second Amended Omnibus Agreement added the following matters to the amended and restated agreement:

the application of the terms of the Second Amended Omnibus Agreement to additional sales by Tesoro and its affiliates to the Partnership and its affiliates, including the assets in the Sale;
the addition of indemnification for work that is required to remediate unidentified defective conditions in any of the Anacortes Rail Facility assets in order to bring such assets into good working condition;
the addition of certain retained liabilities of TRMC specific to the assets in the Sale; and
the increase in the annual deductible from $0.5 million to $0.6 million related to the obligations of the applicable Tesoro affiliate that sold 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 sold to the Partnership.

So long as we control the General Partner, the Second Amended Omnibus Agreement will remain in full force and effect unless mutually terminated by the parties. If we cease to control the General Partner, either party may terminate the Second 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 Second Amended Omnibus Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Anacortes Track Use and Throughput Agreement

Effective November 15, 2012, in connection with the Sale, TRMC entered into a track use and throughput agreement (the "TTA") with the Operating Company under which the Operating Company will provide TRMC with use of the Anacortes track and offloading facility as well as the service of offloading crude or other agreed products from unit trains and manifest railcars. Under the TTA, TRMC is obligated to transport an average of at least 40,000 bpd of crude oil and refined products per month offloaded and throughput at the Anacortes Rail Facility at a throughput fee of $1.53 per barrel. An excess volume throughput fee of $0.75 per barrel is charged for monthly volumes in excess of 40,000 bpd.
 
If TRMC fails to transport aggregate volumes equal to its minimum throughput commitment described above during any calendar month, TRMC will owe the Operating Company a shortfall payment equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the throughput 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 after the shortfall occurs.

The fees under the TTA are indexed for inflation. The initial term of the TTA is ten years and TRMC, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of five years each.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the TTA, 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, the Operating Company and THPP 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 Sale, the General Partner, as the general partner of the Partnership, holds 729,596 general partner units of the Partnership, which represents a 2% general partner interest and 979,025 common units of the Partnership, which represents an approximate 3% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Tesoro, together with TRMC, Tesoro Alaska and the General Partner, holds 1,283,915 common units and 15,254,890 subordinated units of the Partnership, which represent an approximate 45% limited partner interest, in addition to the 2% general partner interest in the Partnership discussed above.

(c)      the acquisition, ownership or operation of any asset or group of related assets used in the activities described in Section 2.1 that are acquired or constructed by a Tesoro Entity after April 26, 2011 (the “ Subject Assets ”) if:
(i)      the fair market value of the Subject Assets (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or other governing body, of the Tesoro Entity that will own the Subject Assets) is less than $5 million at the time of such acquisition by the Tesoro Entity or completion of construction, as the case may be; or

2.3      Procedures .
(a)      If a Tesoro Entity acquires or constructs Subject Assets as described in Section 2.2(c)(ii) , then not later than six months after the consummation of the acquisition or the completion of construction by such Tesoro Entity of the Subject Assets, as the case may be, the Tesoro Entity shall notify the General Partner in writing of such acquisition or construction and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this Section 2.3 (the “ Offer ”). The Offer shall set forth the terms relating to the purchase of the Subject Assets and, if any Tesoro Entity desires to utilize the Subject Assets, the Offer will also include the terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to the Tesoro Entity to enable the Tesoro Entity to utilize the Subject Assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after receipt of the Offer, the General Partner shall notify the Tesoro Entity in writing that either (i) the General Partner has elected not to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Tesoro Entity shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Subject Assets, or (ii) the General Partner has elected to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the procedures outlined in the remainder of this Section 2.3 shall apply.
(b)      If the Tesoro Entity and the General Partner are able to agree on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the Offer including, without limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group will provide services to the Tesoro Entity to enable the Tesoro Entity to utilize the Subject Assets, within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer, a Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the Tesoro Entity to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer.

Tesoro Entity are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the Tesoro Entity and the General Partner its determination. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between the Tesoro Entity and the Partnership Group.

6.2
Procedures .
(a)      In the event a ROFO Asset Owner proposes to Transfer any applicable ROFO Asset (other than to an Affiliate) during the ROFO Period (a “ Proposed Transaction ”), such ROFO Asset Owner shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership Group (the “ ROFO Notice ”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details as would be necessary for a Partnership Group Member to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the applicable ROFO Asset Owner, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, condition or details that such ROFO Asset Owner would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Partnership Group shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with such ROFO Asset Owner (the “ ROFO Response ”).

without limitation, the purchase price the applicable Partnership Group Member proposes to pay for the ROFO Asset and the other terms of the purchase including, if requested by a Tesoro Entity, the terms on which the Partnership Group Member will provide services to the Tesoro Entity to enable the Tesoro Entity to utilize the applicable ROFO Asset) pursuant to which the Partnership Group would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. The decision to issue the ROFO Response and the terms of the ROFO Response shall be subject to approval by the Conflicts Committee. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership Group within such 60-day period, then the Partnership Group shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such ROFO Asset.
(b)      Unless the ROFO Response is rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by the applicable ROFO Asset Owner to the applicable Partnership Group Member within 60 days of the delivery of the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been accepted by the applicable ROFO Asset Owner and such ROFO Asset Owner shall enter into an agreement with the applicable Partnership Group Member providing for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction upon the terms set forth in the ROFO Response and, if applicable, the Partnership Group Member will enter into an agreement with the Tesoro Entity setting forth the terms on which the Partnership Group Member will provide services to the Tesoro Entity to enable the Tesoro Entity to utilize the ROFO Asset. Unless otherwise agreed between the applicable Tesoro Entity and Partnership Group Member, the terms of the purchase and sale agreement will include the following:
(i)      the Partnership Group Member will deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Securities, an interest-bearing promissory note, or any combination thereof);
(ii)      the applicable ROFO Asset Owner will represent that it has title to the ROFO Assets that is sufficient to operate the ROFO Assets in accordance with their intended and historical use, subject to all recorded matters and all physical conditions in existence on the closing date for the purchase of the applicable ROFO Asset, plus any other such matters as the Partnership Group Member may approve. If the Partnership Group Member desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the ROFO Asset, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including but not limited to the cost of title examination, document duplication and policy premium) shall be borne by the Partnership Group Member;
(iii)      the applicable ROFO Asset Owner will grant to the Partnership Group Member the right, exercisable at the Partnership Group Member’s risk and expense prior to the delivery of the ROFO Response, to make such surveys, tests and inspections of the ROFO Asset as the Partnership Group Member may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the ROFO Asset or interfere with the activities of the applicable ROFO Asset Owner;
(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) ;






(v)      the applicable ROFO Asset Owner and Partnership Group Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Section 6.2(b) , including causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and
(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.
(c)      If the Partnership Group has not timely delivered a ROFO Response as specified above with respect to a Proposed Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, the applicable ROFO Asset Owner shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party on terms and conditions no more favorable to such third party than those set forth in the ROFO Notice. 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.

None.

For Long Beach Contribution Agreement listed on Schedule VII :
The soil and groundwater on the southern central portion of the site near the 24 inch crude oil line have been impacted with hydrocarbons from a release from the line first observed in September 2011. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued an Investigative Order dated September 30, 2011 and to date all requirements of the order have been met. Additional investigative or remedial activities may be required.

For Anacortes Rail Facility 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.

SECTION 5
OFFLOAD AND THROUGHPUT FEES
(a)     Offload and Throughput Fees . TRMC agrees to pay to TLO the following fees for all Barrels of Product offloaded and throughput at Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility:
(i)    A Minimum Throughput Volume Fee (the “ MTVF ”) of $1,861,501 per Month (which is $1.53/Barrel multiplied by the Minimum Throughput Volume), subject to escalation as provided in Section 8 below; plus
(ii)    a $0.75 per Barrel offloading and throughput fee for Product volumes in excess of the Minimum Throughput Volume (“ Excess Throughput Volume Fee ”), subject to escalation as provided in Section 8 below.

(b)      MTVF Relief . During any Month that the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility is unavailable to receive any of TRMC’s unit trains on a day in which such unit train is scheduled to have access to the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility, for any reason other than TRMC’s actions, including without limitation, TLO’s actions, Force Majeure, and the actions of a Governmental Authority, and such unavailability prevents TRMC from offloading and throughputting, then the Minimum Throughput Volume and the MTVF for such Month will be reduced in proportion to the number of days in such Month when TRMC’s unit trains were prevented from having access to the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility as a result of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility being unavailable, divided by the total days in such Month; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction to the Minimum Throughput Volume and MTVF shall not exceed the actual reduction in volume of, and offload and throughput fees charged for, such Product handled by TLO.

During any Month where (i) TRMC does not schedule any railcars for the use of, or otherwise fails to offload and throughput Product at, the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility, and/or (ii) TRMC has temporarily or permanently suspended operations at the Anacortes Refinery, such that in either or both cases, the number of railcars to be offloaded and throughput during such Month would be zero (0), then TRMC shall be credited $70,000 per month (the “ Deemed Credit Amount ”), and the Deemed Credit Amount shall be offset against the MTVF for such Month.
SECTION 6
MANIFEST RAILCARS
During any Month under the Term of this Agreement, TRMC may request that the Services include receipt of manifest railcars, in addition to, or in lieu of, unit train railcars nominated by TRMC for offload and throughput at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility; provided that all nominations made by TRMC are made in accordance with Annex B , including without limitation, providing sufficient advance notice. For purposes of this Agreement, a “ manifest railcar ” means any single unit railcar in a shipment of Product to the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility for which BNSF would owe payment to TLO under Section 1.3 of the ITA. Upon receipt of such request, TLO may consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to accept such manifest railcars proposal by TRMC. TLO shall not be required to consent to any requests that would require Services to be performed that are not authorized under existing agreements with BNSF or other third party contractors, provided that TLO shall make commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate suitable arrangements with such contractors to authorize such Services. TLO shall also not be required to consent to any proposal that would require new, expanded or modified facilities and equipment. Fees for any and all Product volumes received at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility via manifest railcars shall be at the same per barrel rate specified in Section 5(a)(i) above for the Minimum Throughput Volume (as escalated from time to time pursuant to Section 8 ), plus any applicable

6




surcharge to reimburse TLO for any incremental costs or expenses incurred by TLO in connection with the offload and throughput of such manifest railcars and volumes. Any and all Product volumes received during a Month at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility via manifest railcars shall be credited against TRMC’s Minimum Throughput Volume for such Month.

SECTION 7
SURCHARGES, REIMBURSEMENTS AND PASS THROUGH COSTS
(a)    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 written request;
(ii)      The costs that TLO incurs in complying with any new Applicable Laws that affect the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility 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;
(iii)      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;
(iv)      Subject to Sections 14(d) and 18(b) , any demurrage assessed by BNSF or under Applicable Law and paid directly by TLO;
(v)      All costs incurred in connection with (1) any laboratory tests or specific railcar sampling requested by TRMC under Section 10 , and (2) the detention and storage of railcars, pursuant to Section 13 (d) ;
(vi)      The actual cost of any surcharges incurred by TLO in connection with the offload of and throughput from manifest railcars pursuant to Section 6 above; and
(vii)      All incremental costs or surcharges incurred by TLO from third party contractors in connection with the unloading of and throughput from any unit train that is not comprised of the full complement of one (100) hundred railcars; provided that such incremental costs or surcharges may only be assessed when, in a given Month, TRMC nominates (A) three or more unit trains with less than ninety (90) railcars in each such unit train, or (B) one or more unit trains with less than eighty (80) railcars in each such unit train.
(b)      If TRMC objects to the level of any surcharge under items (i) through (iii) above, then TLO shall impose a surcharge for those expenditures as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be mandatory. The period of time over which such charges are recovered shall be determined by TLO in light of the remaining period in the Term of this Agreement and the projected future deliveries of Product to the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility. 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 the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility, including taking a portion of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility out of service, reducing the capacity of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility, or restricting use of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility, then TRMC may request that TLO do so, rather than imposing a surcharge to

7




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 Volume or for a reduction in any fees except surcharges avoided by such reduction in capacity.
SECTION 8
ADJUSTMENTS – FEES AND COSTS
Starting July 1, 2013, all fees in Section 5(a) and the Deemed Credit Amount in Section 5(c) above shall automatically be increased on the first day of July for each year of the Term, by a percentage equal to the greater of zero or the positive change in the CPI-U for the prior calendar year, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent.
SECTION 9
PAYMENTS
(a)     Monthly Shortfall Credit . If, during any Month, the actual volume of Barrels offloaded and throughput by TRMC are less than the Minimum Throughput Volume, then TRMC shall nevertheless pay to TLO the MTVF. Upon Payment of the MTVF, TRMC shall receive a “ Shortfall Credit ” calculated as the difference between the Minimum Throughput Volume less the actual total volumes received during such month, multiplied by the sum of the MTVF, on a per Barrel basis.

(b)      Monthly Reconciliation . Actual volumes of Barrels offloaded and throughput at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility are to be determined Monthly, based upon receipts during the Month (as measured by custody transfer meter) and credited towards the Minimum Throughput Volume in such Month; provided, however, that during the start-up period of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility and until custody transfer metering becomes fully operational, TLO will utilize TRMC’s loading ticket receipts to measure throughput and TLO will reconcile to actual railcars received at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility during that Month. The Shortfall Credit shall be credited as follows:

(i)    the dollar amount of any Shortfall Credit included in the Monthly invoice will be posted as a credit to TRMC’s account and may be applied against amounts owed by TRMC for throughput volumes in excess of the Minimum Throughput Volume during any of the succeeding three (3) Months; and

(ii)     any portion of the Shortfall Credit that is not used by TRMC during the succeeding three (3) Months will expire at the end of said three (3) Month period relating to the respective credit and be reset to zero.

(c)     Fees & Costs Calculation . At the end of each Month, TLO will calculate the total fees and costs that TRMC incurred for offloading and throughput of Barrels at the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility during such Month, as follows:

(i)    the MTVF; plus

(ii)     the Excess Throughput Volume Fees attributable to such Month; less

(iii)    any applicable Shortfall Credits to TRMC, but not to exceed the Excess Throughput Volume Fees for such Month; less

(iv)    the Deemed Credit Amount, if applicable; plus

Any past due payments owed by either Party shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the lesser of (i) the rate of interest announced publicly by JPMorgan Chase Bank, in New York, New York, as JPMorgan Chase Bank’s prime rate (which Parties acknowledge and agree is announced by such bank and used by the Parties for reference purposes only and may not represent the lowest or best rate available to any of the customers of such bank or the Parties), plus four percent (4%), and (ii) the highest rate of interest (if any) permitted by Applicable Law, from the due date of the payment through the actual date of payment.

(e)     Disputed Amounts . If TRMC reasonably disputes any amount invoiced by TLO, TRMC shall pay the amount of the invoice when due and provide TLO with written notice stating the nature of the dispute prior to ninety (90) days after the due date of the invoice.

(c)     Right to Enter New Agreement . Upon termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) a default by TRMC, (y) any termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to

15




Section 21 , or (z) a termination by reason of TRMC’s failure to exercise a renewal term option under Section 4 , TRMC shall have the right to require TLO to enter into a track use and throughput agreement with TRMC that (i) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement, (ii) relates to the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility that are the subject matter of this Agreement, and (iii) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to TLO than fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however, that the term of any such new track use and throughput agreement shall not extend beyond April 30, 2032.

(d)     Right of First Refusal . In the event that TLO proposes to enter into a track use and throughput agreement with a third party upon the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) by default by TRMC, (y) any termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 21 , or (z) a termination by reason of TRMC’s failure to exercise a renewal term option under Section 4 , TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days prior written notice of any proposed new track use and throughput agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon TRMC’s receipt of such written notice) (the “ TTA First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new track use and throughput agreement with TLO (the “ TTA 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 track use and throughput agreement during the TTA First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a track use and throughput agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in subsection (c) above. If TRMC does not exercise its TTA Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party track use and throughput agreement. If no third-party track use and throughput agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 20(e) shall again become effective. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 20(e) to the contrary, TRMC’s TTA Right of First Refusal shall only be available and exercisable for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) by default by TRMC, (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 21 , or (z) a termination by reason of TRMC’s failure to exercise a renewal term option under Section 4 .

If TLO is unable to perform or is delayed in performing, in whole or in part, its obligations hereunder as a result of such Force Majeure, then TLO’s obligations shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of such Force Majeure event. If TLO advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then at any time after TLO delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement, but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “ Termination Notice ”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided , however ; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve-Month period.

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 Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility. If such sale is not consummated during such ninety (90) period, the terms and conditions of this Section 23(e) shall again become effective.

(f)      TRMC’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control, provided, however, that in the case of any Partnership Change of Control or the sale of all or substantially all of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility to a purchaser other than TRMC, TRMC shall retain the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4 , and the Identification Date (as defined in the Omnibus Agreement) shall be deemed to have occurred, if it has not already occurred by reason of the passage of time. TLO shall provide TRMC with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date thereof.

No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a 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.

21




(b)     Entire Agreement . This Agreement 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.

Tesoro Corporation Closes the Sale of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility to Tesoro Logistics


SAN ANTONIO - November 15, 2012 - Tesoro Corporation (NYSE:TSO) and Tesoro Logistics LP (NYSE:TLLP) today announced that Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”) closed the sale of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility owned by Tesoro's subsidiary, Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, to Tesoro Logistics LP (the “Partnership”) for total consideration of $180 million.

“The sale of the Anacortes rail facility marks Tesoro's third sale of assets to the Partnership,” said Greg Goff, Tesoro's President and Chief Executive Officer and Tesoro Logistics' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This transaction highlights the ability of Tesoro to leverage TLLP in the growth and development of its logistics business, allowing us to broaden our capability to deliver price advantaged crude oil within the Tesoro refining system, while also increasing cash distributions to the Partnership's unitholders.”

The facility, located near Tesoro's Anacortes, Washington refinery, consists of a four track offloading station capable of unloading 100 car unit trains and has a permitted capacity of 50,000 barrels per day.

The purchase price of $180 million included cash of $162 million and Tesoro Logistics equity valued at approximately $18 million. The cash consideration was financed from available cash. The equity consideration was based on the average daily closing price of common units for the 10 trading days prior to today, or $44.65 per unit, with 77% in the form of common units and 23% in the form of general partner units.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, Tesoro and the Partnership entered into a throughput and use agreement for the rail unloading facility assets. This agreement includes a minimum throughput commitment of 40 mbpd, annual price escalations and ten year initial contract terms. Tesoro Logistics expects that this contribution will result in an estimated $19 million of additional annual logistics EBITDA.

RECONCILIATION OF FORECASTED EBITDA TO AMOUNTS UNDER US GAAP

Reconciliation of Forecasted EBITDA to Forecasted Net Income:

Net income

Forecasted EBITDA (a)

(a) We define EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization expenses and net interest and financing costs. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income. EBITDA is not a measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP but is a supplemental financial measure that is used by management and may be used by external users of our condensed combined 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.
