Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Tesoro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), I am familiar with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), of 2,000,000 shares (the Incentive Shares) of the Companys common stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share (the Common Stock), to be offered upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Companys Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the Incentive Plan), and 150,000 shares (the Director Shares and, together with the Incentive Shares, the Shares) of Common Stock to be offered upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Companys 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended (the Director Plan and, together with the Incentive Plan, the Plans).
In connection therewith, I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, the By-laws of the Company, as amended, the Plans, records of relevant corporate proceedings with respect to the offering of the Shares and such other documents, instruments and corporate records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein. I also have examined the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Shares.
I have assumed the authenticity and completeness of all records, certificates and other instruments submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all records, certificates and other instruments submitted to me as copies, the authenticity and completeness of the originals of those records, certificates and other instruments submitted to me as copies and the correctness of all statements of fact contained in all records, certificates and other instruments that I have examined.
Based on the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The opinions expressed herein relate solely to, are based solely upon and are limited exclusively to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America, to the extent applicable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
