NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
ORGANIZATION

Effective August 1, 2017, Tesoro Logistics LP changed its name to Andeavor Logistics LP (“Andeavor Logistics” or the “Partnership”). Andeavor Logistics is a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2010 by Andeavor (formerly Tesoro Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), our general partner, to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours” refer to Andeavor Logistics LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Andeavor” or our “Sponsor” refer collectively to Andeavor and any of its subsidiaries, other than Andeavor Logistics, its subsidiaries and its general partner.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Acquired assets from Andeavor, and the associated liabilities and results of operations, are collectively referred to as the “Predecessors.” See Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for additional information regarding the acquired assets from Andeavor. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the financial position, combined results of operations and combined cash flows of our Predecessors at historical cost. The financial statements of our Predecessors have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Andeavor and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. Our Predecessors did not record revenue for transactions with Andeavor and the expenses recognized were not material in the Terminalling and Transportation segment. The Partnership’s net cash from operating activities and net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 include $10 million and $81 million , respectively, of cash used by our Predecessors, offset by sponsor contributions of equity to the Predecessors in net cash from financing activities.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared by management without audit according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). However, certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate to present the information fairly. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

We are required under U.S. GAAP to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses reported as of and during the periods presented. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations of the Partnership, or our Predecessors, for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period presentations to conform to the current year. See Note 8 for further discussion of reclassifications.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are recorded at their carrying value. We believe the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including:
the short term duration of the instruments (less than one percent for our third-party receivables and approximately three percent of our trade payables have been outstanding for greater than 90 days ); and
the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.

The fair value of our senior notes is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The borrowings under our amended secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and our secured dropdown credit facility (“Dropdown Credit Facility”), which include a variable interest rate, approximate fair value. The carrying value and fair value of our debt were approximately $3.8 billion and $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2017 , respectively, and were approximately $4.1 billion and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2016 , respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt do not consider the unamortized issuance costs, which are netted against our total debt.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURES

REVENUE RECOGNITION. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), and has since amended the standard with ASU 2015-14, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, ”Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” These standards replace existing revenue recognition rules with a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. We are required to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. We expect to transition to the new standard under the modified retrospective transition method, whereby a cumulative effect adjustment will be recognized upon adoption and the guidance will be applied prospectively.

We are progressing through our implementation plan and continue to evaluate the impact of the standard’s revenue recognition model on our contracts with customers in the gathering and processing and terminalling and transportation segments along with our business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures. While we have made substantial progress in our review and documentation of the impact of the standard on our revenue agreements, we continue to assess the impact in certain other areas where industry consensus continues to be formed such as agreements with terms that include non-cash consideration, contributions in aid of construction, tiered pricing structures and other unique considerations. At this time, we are unable to estimate the full impact of the standard until the industry reaches a consensus on certain industry specific issues. However, we do expect some impact on presentation and disclosures in our financial statements relating to contracts that include minimum volume commitments with claw back provisions, or where revenue is based on a percentage of gross proceeds.

LEASES. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and adds additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either a finance lease or operating lease with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement and presentation of cash flows in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and modified retrospective application is required, however, we do not intend to early adopt the standard. While it is early in our assessment of the impacts from this standard, we expect the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities not currently reflected in our balance sheet could have a material impact on total assets and liabilities. Additionally, we expect the presentation changes required for amounts currently reflected in our statement of operations to impact certain financial statement line items. We cannot estimate the impact on our business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures due to the implementation of this standard given the preliminary stage of our assessment.

CREDIT LOSSES. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU requires the estimation of credit losses based on expected losses and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

DEFINITION OF A BUSINESS. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which revises the definition of a business and assists in the evaluation of when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. At this time, we are evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements and whether we will early adopt this standard in 2017.

GOODWILL. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test that required goodwill impairments to be measured as the amount that a reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, an entity can perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount with any impairment being limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. As permitted under ASU 2017-04, we have elected to early adopt this standard for our 2017 goodwill impairment tests to be performed as of November 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT COSTS. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires the current service-cost component of net benefit costs to be presented similarly with other current compensation costs for related employees on the condensed statement of consolidated operations and stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. Additionally, the Partnership will present other components of net benefit costs elsewhere on the condensed statement of consolidated operations since these costs are allocated to the Partnership’s financial statements by Andeavor.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017 only. The amendments to the presentation of the condensed statement of consolidated operations in this update should be applied retrospectively while the change in capitalized benefit cost is to be applied prospectively. We have evaluated the impact of this standard on our financial statements and determined there will be no impact to net earnings, but it is expected to have an immaterial impact on other line items such as operating income. We have elected not to early adopt and will implement when the standard becomes effective.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
 
NORTH DAKOTA GATHERING AND PROCESSING ASSETS

On January 1, 2017 , the Partnership acquired crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering systems and two natural gas processing facilities from Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, GBK Investments, LLC and WBI Energy Midstream, LLC (“North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets”) for total consideration of approximately $705 million , including payments for working capital amounts, funded with cash on-hand, which included borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. The North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets include crude oil, natural gas, and produced water gathering pipelines, natural gas processing and fractionation capacity in the Sanish and Pronghorn fields of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. With this acquisition, we expanded the assets in our Gathering and Processing segment located in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota to further grow our integrated, full-service logistics capabilities in support of third-party demand for crude oil, natural gas and water gathering services as well as natural gas processing services. In addition, this increases our capacity and capabilities while extending our crude oil, natural gas and water gathering and associated gas processing footprint to enhance overall basin logistics efficiencies.

We accounted for the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired at their fair values and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition is preliminary and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of an independent valuation and other information as it becomes available to us. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of Andeavor Logistics’ measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded adjustments to our preliminary allocation to increase property, plant and equipment and goodwill by $31 million and $4 million , respectively, and to reduce intangibles and inventory by $32 million and $3 million , respectively.

(a)
The intangibles consist of customer contracts with a weighted average amortization period of 10.6 years . Amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $3 million and $7 million , respectively.
(b)
We evaluated several factors that contributed to the amount of goodwill presented above. These factors include the geographic proximity of the acquired assets to existing assets owned by the Partnership along with the improved overall basin logistics efficiencies we can leverage.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we recognized $97 million and $196 million in revenues, respectively, and $13 million and $26 million of net earnings, respectively, related to the assets acquired. If the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2016, our pro forma consolidated revenues and consolidated net earnings would have been $348 million and $90 million , respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $692 million and $177 million , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

DIVESTITURES
 
On June 2, 2017, due to Andeavor’s consent decree with the state of Alaska associated with our 2016 acquisition of certain terminalling and storage assets owned by Andeavor (the “Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets”), Andeavor Logistics sold one of its existing Alaska products terminals (“Alaska Terminal”) for $28 million . The sale resulted in a $25 million gain on sale in our condensed statements of consolidated operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The Alaska Terminal divestiture did not have an impact on our operations.

NOTE 3 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS

The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Andeavor, under which we provide pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services to Andeavor. Andeavor typically commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. For the natural gas liquids that we handle under keep-whole agreements, the Partnership has a fee-based processing agreement with Andeavor which minimizes the impact of commodity price movements during the annual period subsequent to renegotiation of terms and pricing each year.

In addition, we have agreements for the provision of various general and administrative services by Andeavor. Under our partnership agreement, we are required to reimburse TLGP and its affiliates for all costs and expenses that they incur on our behalf for managing and controlling our business and operations. Except to the extent specified under our amended omnibus agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) or our amended secondment agreement (the “Amended Secondment Agreement”), TLGP determines the amount of these expenses. The Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Amended Secondment Agreement were amended and restated in connection with the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets purchase. Under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement as of June 30, 2017 , we are required to pay Andeavor an annual corporate services fee of $11 million for the provision of various centralized corporate services, including executive management, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, health, safety and environmental, information technology, certain insurance coverage, administration and other corporate services. Andeavor charged the Partnership $5 million and $1 million pursuant to the Amended Secondment Agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $10 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement and Amended Secondment Agreement, we reimburse Andeavor for any direct costs actually incurred by Andeavor in providing other operational services with respect to certain of our other assets and operations.

(a)
Andeavor accounted for 49% of our total revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 57% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 .
(b)
Includes imbalance settlement gains of $2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $5 million and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Also includes reimbursements from Andeavor pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement and other affiliate agreements of $3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $5 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

PREDECESSOR TRANSACTIONS. Related-party transactions of our Predecessors were settled through equity. Our Predecessors did not record revenue for transactions with Andeavor in the Terminalling and Transportation segment.

DISTRIBUTIONS. In accordance with our partnership agreement, the unitholders of our common and general partner interests are entitled to receive quarterly distributions of available cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we paid quarterly cash distributions of $148 million to Andeavor and TLGP, including incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). On July 19, 2017 , we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.971 per unit, which will be paid on August 14, 2017 . The distribution will include payments of $75 million to Andeavor and TLGP, including IDRs. In connection with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition, our general partner agreed to reduce its quarterly distributions with respect to incentive distribution rights by $12.5 million for each quarter in 2017 and 2018, including the three months ended June 30, 2017 .

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we will accrue liabilities for these matters if the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than as described below, in Part II, Item 1 of this Report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we do not have any other material outstanding lawsuits, administrative proceedings or governmental investigations.

XTO ENERGY INC. V. QEP FIELD SERVICES COMPANY. XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO”) was seeking monetary damages related to our allocation of charges related to XTO’s share of natural gas liquid transportation, fractionation and marketing costs associated with shortfalls in contractual firm processing volumes. In May 2017 , we agreed to a settlement with XTO regarding the disputed receivables, which resulted in a write-off of $5 million of accounts receivable and reversal of previously recognized revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to the dispute. No disputed receivables related to XTO remain after the settlement.

NET EARNINGS PER UNIT. We use the two-class method when calculating the net earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, because we have more than one participating security. At June 30, 2017 , our participating securities consist of common units, general partner units and IDRs. Net earnings earned by the Partnership are allocated between the common and general partners in accordance with our partnership agreement. We base our calculation of net earnings per unit on the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period.

Diluted net earnings per unit include the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units, which consist of unvested service and performance phantom units. Distributions less than or greater than earnings are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement.

(a)
Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions fully allocated to the general partner and any special allocations. The adjustment reflects the special allocation to common units held by TLGP for the interest incurred in connection with borrowings on the Dropdown Credit Facility in lieu of using all cash on hand to fund the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisition.
(b)
IDRs entitle the general partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50% , of quarterly distributions in excess of $0.3881 per unit per quarter. The amount above reflects earnings distributed to our general partner net of $12.5 million and $25 million of IDRs waived by TLGP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. See Note 11 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further discussion related to IDRs.
(c)
We have revised the historical allocation of general partner earnings to include the Predecessors’ losses of $7 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. There were no Predecessor losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 .

NOTE 8 – OPERATING SEGMENTS
 
We changed our operating segment presentation in the first quarter of 2017 to reflect our expanded gathering and processing assets and operations and how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages our business. With the completion of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition on January 1, 2017, our gathering and processing assets and operations expanded significantly and enhanced our ability to offer integrated gathering and processing services to our customers. Given the business’s focus on providing integrated services along with the revised reporting structure implemented by management to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions, we have determined our operating segments, which are the same for reporting purposes, are the (i) Gathering and Processing segment and (ii) Terminalling and Transportation segment. Comparable prior period information for the newly presented Gathering and Processing segment has been recast to reflect our current presentation. No changes were deemed necessary to our Terminalling and Transportation segment.

In addition, as part of the CODM’s reevaluation of how it monitors and evaluates the business and allocates resources, management revised its methodology for the allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses which resulted in additional corporate costs being allocated to our Gathering and Processing segment for certain administrative activities associated with our gathering and processing business in the Rockies region. The change to our Terminalling and Transportation segment was not material. Comparable prior period segment information has been recast to reflect our revised allocation methodology.

Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering systems and natural gas processing assets in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana and the Green River Basin, Uinta Basin and Vermillion Basin in the states of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming as well as gas processing complexes and fractionation facilities. Our Terminalling and Transportation segment consists of crude oil and refined products terminals and marine terminals, storage facilities for crude oil, refined products and petroleum coke handling, rail-car unloading facilities and pipelines, which transport products and crude oil.

Our revenues are generated from commercial contracts we have entered into with Andeavor and with third-party contracts under which we are paid fees for gathering crude oil, natural gas and produced water, processing natural gas and distributing, transporting and storing crude oil, refined products, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The commercial agreements with Andeavor are described in Note 3 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . We do not have any foreign operations.

Our operating segments are strategic business units that offer different services in various geographical locations. We evaluate the performance of each segment based on its respective operating income. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are excluded from segment operating income as they are not directly attributable to a specific operating segment. Identifiable assets are those used by the segment, whereas other assets are principally cash, deposits and other assets that are not associated with a specific operating segment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Andeavor Logistics LP,” “Andeavor Logistics,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Andeavor Logistics LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to Andeavor refer collectively to Andeavor and any of its subsidiaries, other than Andeavor Logistics, its subsidiaries and its general partner. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Predecessors” refer collectively to the acquired assets from Andeavor, and those assets, liabilities and results of operations.

Those statements in this section that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.

This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

We are a leading full-service logistics company operating primarily in the western and mid-continent regions of the United States. We own and operate networks of crude oil, refined products and natural gas pipelines, terminals with dedicated and non-dedicated storage capacity for crude oil and refined products, rail facilities with loading and offloading capabilities, marine terminals, a trucking fleet and natural gas processing and fractionation complexes. We are a fee-based, growth oriented Delaware limited partnership formed by Andeavor and are headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Our assets are categorized into a Gathering and Processing segment and a Terminalling and Transportation segment. Approximately 49% of our total revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were derived from Andeavor under various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements, the majority of which include minimum volume commitments.

We generate revenues by charging fees for gathering crude oil and produced water, gathering and processing natural gas as well as fees for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil and refined products. We do not engage in the trading of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) or refined products; therefore, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with commodity price fluctuations as part of our normal operations. However, as part of our acquisition of gathering systems and processing facilities from Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, GBK Investments, LLC and WBI Energy Midstream, LLC (“North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets”), we acquired certain natural gas gathering and processing contracts structured as Percent of Proceeds (“POP”) arrangements. Under these POP arrangements, we gather and process the producers’ natural gas and market the natural gas and NGLs (“Equity NGLs”) and return the majority of the proceeds to the producer. Under these arrangements, we will have exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices; however, this exposure is not expected to be material to our results of operations. The revenue and costs associated with these POP arrangements are reported gross on our financial statements. Also, we may be subject to nominal commodity risk exposure due to pipeline loss allowance provisions in many of our pipeline gathering and transportation contracts and a
 
nominal amount of condensate retained as part of our natural gas gathering services. In the event actual measured pipeline losses are less than the loss allowance, we are able to sell the crude oil at premium adjusted market prices; correspondingly, when actual losses exceed loss allowances, we purchase crude oil at premium adjusted market prices. For the NGLs that we handle under keep-whole agreements, also included in Equity NGLs, the Partnership has a fee-based processing agreement with Andeavor, which minimizes the impact of commodity price movements during the annual period subsequent to renegotiation of terms and pricing. See Item 3 for additional discussion regarding our Market Risk.

On April 17, 2017, Andeavor filed an Amendment to Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") stating that the board of directors of Andeavor authorized the management of Andeavor to work with our board of directors and management to consider, discuss and endeavor to negotiate a merger, consolidation or combination (in whatever form) of assets held by and securities issued by Western Refining Logistics, LP (“WNRL”) and its affiliates and assets held by and securities issued by us.

On July 21, 2017, we filed an Amendment to Schedule 13D with the SEC stating that the Andeavor board of directors delivered a proposal to the chairman of the conflicts committee of the board of the general partner of WNRL to acquire all of the outstanding common units of WNRL representing limited partnership interests in WNRL in exchange for common units of Andeavor Logistics, at an exchange ratio of 0.4906 common units of Andeavor Logistics for each WNRL common unit.

There can be no assurance that any discussions that may occur between Andeavor Logistics and WNRL will result in the entry into a definitive agreement, concerning a transaction or, if such a definitive agreement is reached, will result in the consummation of a transaction provided for in such definitive agreement. If any discussions concerning a potential transaction occur, such discussions may be terminated at any time and without prior notice.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND GOALS

Our primary business objectives are to maintain stable cash flows and to increase our quarterly cash distribution per unit over time. We have been implementing our strategy and goals discussed above, allowing us to increase our distributions by 15% over the last year. We intend to accomplish these objectives by executing the following strategies:
 
Growing a stable, fee-based business that provides a competitive,
full-service logistics offering to customers
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Optimizing Existing Asset Base
 
    Operating an incident free workplace

    Improving operational efficiency and maximizing asset utilization

    Expanding third-party business; delivering extraordinary customer service
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pursuing Organic Expansion Opportunities
 
    Identifying and executing low-risk, high-return growth projects

    Investing to capture the full commercial value of logistics assets

    Growing asset capability to support Andeavor value chain optimization
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Growing through Third-Party Acquisitions
 
    Pursuing assets and businesses in strategic western U.S. geography that fit integrated business model, delivering synergies and growth

    Focusing on high quality assets that provide stable, fee-based income and enhancing organizational capacity
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Growing through Andeavor Strategic Expansion
 
    Strategically partnering with Andeavor on acquisitions in refining and marketing value chains

    Capturing full value of Andeavor’s embedded logistics assets
 
 
 
 
 
 

Relative to these goals, in 2017, we intend to continue implementing this strategy and have completed or announced plans to expand our assets on our Gathering and Processing segment in support of third-party demand for crude oil, natural gas and water gathering services, natural gas processing services, as well as serving Andeavor’s demand for Bakken crude oil in the mid-continent and west coast refining systems, including:

further expanding capacity and capabilities as well as adding new origin and destination points for our common carrier pipelines in North Dakota and Montana;
expanding our crude oil, natural gas and water gathering and associated gas processing footprint in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana (the “Bakken Region”) to enhance and improve overall basin logistics efficiencies;
increasing compression on our natural gas gathering systems in the Green River and Vermillion basins to enhance natural gas volumes recovered from existing wells and support potential new drilling activity;
expanding our gathering footprint and increase compression capabilities in the Uinta basin to increase volumes on our gathering systems and through our processing assets; and
pursuing strategic assets across the western U.S. including potential acquisitions from Andeavor.
In addition, we have completed or announced plans to grow our Terminalling and Transportation business across the western U.S. through:
 
 
increasing our terminalling volumes by expanding capacity and growing our third-party services at certain of our terminals;
optimizing Andeavor volumes and growing third-party throughput at our Terminalling and Transportation assets; and
pursuing strategic assets in the western U.S.
 
ACQUISITION
 
NORTH DAKOTA GATHERING AND PROCESSING ASSETS. On January 1, 2017 , we acquired the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets for total consideration of approximately $705 million , including payments for working capital adjustments, funded with cash on-hand, which included borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets include crude oil, natural gas, and produced water gathering pipelines, natural gas processing capacity and fractionation capacity in the Sanish and Pronghorn fields of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. With this acquisition, we expanded the assets in our Gathering and Processing segment located in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota to further grow our integrated, full-service logistics capabilities in support of third-party demand for crude oil, natural gas and water gathering services as well as natural gas processing services. In addition, this increases our capacity and capabilities while extending our crude oil, natural gas and water gathering and associated gas processing footprint to enhance overall basin logistics efficiencies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 

 
CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS
 
Although we have minimal exposure to commodity prices, during the second quarter, the commodity pricing conditions were mixed for the commodities that we handle. Crude oil, natural gas and refined products prices fell while NGLs prices rose. Despite an extension of the OPEC and non-OPEC production cuts, crude oil prices faced headwinds from ample global inventories and higher production from the U.S. and other countries. The U.S. oil and gas drilling landscape continues to improve with increased rig counts, premium locational drilling and enhanced completion techniques. At the current prices, shale production remains economic and U.S. crude production is expected to show material growth year over year. Additionally, U.S. refineries operated at record utilization rates as growing
 
export opportunities provided an incentive to maximize production of gasoline and diesel. These factors create a positive outlook for U.S. oil, gas and refined product throughput volumes, however, regional impacts may differ.
 
Lower retail prices and sound domestic economic conditions over the second quarter continued to support healthy refined product demand from our downstream and marketing customers. We continue to monitor the impact of commodity prices and fundamentals as it relates to our business. Given the outlined market conditions, we believe our diversified portfolio of businesses as well as our strong customer base are sufficient to continue to meet our goals and objectives outlined above.


 
 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations presented below includes the financial results of our Predecessors and the consolidated financial results of Andeavor Logistics. The financial statements of our Predecessors were prepared from the separate records maintained by Andeavor and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. The financial statements, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting future performance.
 
OPERATING METRICS
 
Management utilizes the following operating metrics to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry:
 
Average margin on NGL sales per barrel—calculated as the difference between the NGL sales and the costs associated with the NGL sales divided by total NGL sales volumes;
Average gas gathering and processing revenue per Million British thermal units (“MMBtu”)—calculated as total gathering and processing fee-based revenue divided by total gas gathering throughput;
Average crude oil and water gathering revenue per barrel—calculated as total crude oil and water gathering fee-based revenue divided by total crude oil and water gathering throughput;
Average terminalling revenue per barrel—calculated as total terminalling revenue divided by total terminalling throughput; and
Average pipeline transportation revenue per barrel—calculated as total pipeline transportation revenue divided by total pipeline transportation throughput.
 
There are a variety of ways to calculate average revenue per barrel, average margin per barrel and average revenue per MMBtu; other companies may calculate these in different ways.
 

NON-GAAP MEASURES

As a supplement to our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), our management uses certain “non-GAAP” measures to analyze our results of operations, assess internal performance against budgeted and forecasted amounts and evaluate future impacts to our financial performance as a result of capital investments, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic projects. These measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
 
Financial non-GAAP measure of earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”); and
Liquidity non-GAAP measure of distributable cash flow, which is calculated as U.S. GAAP-based net cash flow from operating activities plus or minus changes in working capital, amounts spent on maintenance capital net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash.
 
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to:
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.
Management also uses these measures to assess internal performance, and we believe they may provide meaningful

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

supplemental information to the users of our financial statements. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings, operating income and net cash from operating activities. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
 
ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
 
Our financial results may not be comparable for the reasons described below. Our Predecessors did not record revenues with Andeavor and our Predecessors recorded general and administrative expenses and financed operations differently than the Partnership. See “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further discussion.
 
We changed our operating segment presentation in the first quarter of 2017 to reflect our expanded gathering and processing operations and capabilities. With the completion of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition on January 1, 2017 , our gathering and processing assets and operations expanded significantly and enhanced our ability to offer integrated gathering and processing services to our customers. Given the business’s focus on providing integrated services along with the revised reporting structure implemented
 
by management to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions, we have determined our operating segments, which are the same for reporting purposes, are the (i) Gathering and Processing segment and (ii) Terminalling and Transportation segment. Comparable prior period information for the newly presented Gathering and Processing segment has been recast to reflect our current presentation. No changes were deemed necessary to our Terminalling and Transportation segment.
 
On  November 21, 2016 , we acquired certain terminalling and storage assets located in Martinez, California purchased from subsidiaries of Andeavor (“Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets”) for a total consideration of  $400 million . The Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets include crude oil, feedstock, and refined product storage capacity at Andeavor’s Martinez Refinery along with the Avon marine terminal capable of handling throughput of feedstocks and refined products.
 
On July 1 and September 16, 2016 , the Partnership purchased certain terminalling and storage assets owned by Andeavor (the “Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets”) for total consideration of $444 million . The storage assets include tankage and ancillary facilities used for the operations at Andeavor’s Kenai Refinery. The refined product terminals are located in Anchorage and Fairbanks.

OVERVIEW. Our net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (the “ 2017  Quarter”) increased $34 million to $110 million from $76 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (the “ 2016  Quarter”) primarily driven by the sale of a products terminal as well as increased operations driven by strong product demand and high refinery utilization generating higher throughput at our California marine terminals. The 2017  Quarter also benefited from contributions from the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets and Alaska
 
Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisitions completed in the second half of 2016. Partially offsetting those contributions were increase s in operating costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and interest and financing costs related to our acquisitions. EBITDA in the 2017  Quarter increased $62 million reflecting the impact of the terminal sale, acquisitions from Andeavor during the second half of 2016 and the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition in January 2017 .


 
 
June 30, 2017  | 19

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

As part of our acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets, we acquired certain natural gas gathering and processing contracts structured as POP arrangements. The revenue and cost of sales associated with these POP arrangements are reported gross on our financial statements contributing to our higher revenue and operating costs.

REVENUES. The $120 million increase in revenue, or 41% , to $413 million was driven primarily by the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets along with the acquisitions of the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets that were purchased from Andeavor in the second half of 2016 .

COST OF SALES AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Cost of sales and operating expenses increased $54 million and $26
 
million , respectively, for the 2017  Quarter compared to the 2016 Quarter primarily due to the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquired during the first quarter of 2017 .

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $14 million for the 2017  Quarter versus the 2016  Quarter largely due to the property, plant and equipment and intangibles acquired with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets.

INTEREST AND FINANCING COSTS, NET. Net interest and financing costs increased $14 million in the 2017  Quarter compared to the 2016  Quarter mostly due to the issuance of new senior notes in May and December 2016 .

OVERVIEW. Our net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (the “ 2017  Period”) increased 25% to $202 million from $161 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (the “ 2016 Period”) primarily driven by a gain on the sale of a products terminal and increased contribution from acquisitions from Andeavor during the second half of 2016 . These increases were partially offset by increases in operating costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and interest and financing costs in connection with our acquisitions. EBITDA increased $97 million reflecting the sale of a products terminal, the impact of the acquisitions from Andeavor, the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition in January 2017 and organic growth in the pipeline and terminalling assets.

The revenue and costs of sales associated with the POP arrangements we acquired in the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition are reported gross on our financial statements contributing to the higher revenue and operating costs.

REVENUE. The increase in revenue of $240 million , or 40% , to $833 million was driven by the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets and the acquisitions of the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets and Northern California
 
Terminalling and Storage Assets that were purchased from Andeavor in the second half of 2016 .

COST OF SALES AND OPERATING EXPENSES . Cost of sales and operating expenses increased $113 million and $42 million , respectively, for the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period primarily due to the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquired during the first quarter of 2017 .

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $26 million for the 2017 Period versus the 2016 Period largely due to the property, plant and equipment and intangibles acquired with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets.

INTEREST AND FINANCING COSTS, NET. Net interest and financing costs increased $30 million in the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period mostly related to the issuance of new senior notes in May and December 2016 .

OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income decreased $6 million due to a one-time litigation settlement gain in 2016 .

Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering systems and processing complexes in the Bakken Region and the Green River Basin, Uinta Basin and Vermillion Basin in the states of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming (the “Rockies Region”). Our High Plains System, located in the Bakken Region, gathers and transports crude oil from various production locations in this area for transportation to Andeavor’s North Dakota refineries and other destinations in the Bakken Region, including export rail terminals and pipelines. Approximately 25-30% of our processing plant production is currently supported by long-term, fee-based processing agreements with minimum volume commitments.

(a)
Volumes represent barrels sold in keep-whole arrangements, net barrels retained in POP arrangements and other associated products.

VOLUMES. NGL sales volumes declined slightly in the 2017 Quarter as compared to the 2016 Quarter primarily due to keep-whole volume decreases in the Rockies Region slightly offset by an increase related to the Equity NGLs associated with the acquired North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets. The increase in gas gathering and processing throughput volumes of 98 thousand MMBtu per day (“MMBtu/d”), or 11% , in the 2017 Quarter as compared to the 2016 Quarter was primarily driven by the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquired, which led to increased volumes on our gathering system and processed at our facilities. Crude oil and water throughput volumes increased 32 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”), or 15% , in the 2017 Quarter primarily due to contributions from the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition and interconnections on the High Plains Pipeline System both completed in the first quarter 2017. These increases were partially offset by decreased volumes related to the turnaround completed on Andeavor’s Mandan refinery, which not only impacted volume, but also the average crude oil and water revenue per barrel due to shorter pipeline haul movements.

FINANCIAL RESULTS. Our Gathering and Processing segment’s operating income remained relatively flat for the 2017 Quarter compared to the 2016 Quarter.

The North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets added margin of $3 million associated with the sale of NGLs. Revenues increased across our natural gas gathering and processing systems and our crude oil and water gathering systems with this acquisition and expanded capabilities on existing assets. Offsetting those contributions was a decline in revenues resulting from lower volumes in the Rockies Region, lower volumes and margins with Andeavor’s Mandan refinery undergoing a turnaround, which not only impacted volumes, but also the average crude oil and water revenue per barrel due to shorter pipeline haul movements. In addition, we had incremental administrative, operating and depreciation expenses primarily associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition.

(a)
For the 2017 Quarter, we had 20.9 Mbpd of gross NGL sales under POP and keep-whole arrangements. We retained 7.3 Mbpd under these arrangements. The difference between gross sales barrels and barrels retained is reflected in costs of NGL sales resulting from the gross presentation required for the POP arrangements associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets.
(b)
Operating expenses include an imbalance settlement gain of $1 million for both the 2017 Quarter and 2016 Quarter, respectively.

Volumes represent barrels sold in keep-whole arrangements, net barrels retained in POP arrangements and other associated products.

VOLUMES. The decrease in NGL sales volumes of 0.7 Mbpd, or 9% , in the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period was primarily due to keep-whole volume decreases in the Rockies Region slightly offset by an increase related to the Equity NGLs associated with the acquired North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets. The increase in gas gathering and processing throughput volumes of 74 MMBtu/d, or 8% , in the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period was primarily driven by the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquired, which led to increased volumes on our gathering system and processed at our facilities. Crude oil and water throughput volumes increased 34 Mbpd, or 16% , in the 2017 Period as a result of projects to expand the pipeline gathering system capabilities, which include additional origin and destination inter-connections and the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquired, partially offset by decreased volumes related to the turnaround completed on Andeavor’s Mandan refinery, which not only impacted volumes, but also the average crude oil and water revenue per barrel due to shorter pipeline haul movements.

FINANCIAL RESULTS. Our Gathering and Processing segment’s operating income remained relatively flat for the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period.

The North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets added margin of $5 million associated with the sale of NGLs. Revenues increased across our natural gas gathering and processing systems and our crude oil and water gathering systems with this acquisition and expanded capabilities on existing assets partially offset by a decline in revenues resulting from lower volumes in the Rockies Region and incremental administrative, operating and depreciation expenses primarily associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition.

(a)
For the 2017 Period, we had 21.0 Mbpd of gross NGL sales under POP and keep-whole arrangements. We retained 7.4 Mbpd under these arrangements. The difference between gross sales barrels and barrels retained is reflected in costs of NGL sales resulting from the gross presentation required for the POP arrangements associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets.
(b)
Included in cost of NGL sales for the 2017 Period were approximately $2 million of cost of sales related to crude oil volumes obtained in connection with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition. The corresponding revenues were recognized in pass-thru and other revenue. As such, the calculation of the average margin on NGL sales per barrel excludes this amount.
(c)
Operating expenses include an imbalance settlement gain of $3 million and $1 million for the 2017 Period and 2016 Period, respectively.

VOLUMES. Terminalling throughput volume increased 44 Mbpd, or 4% in the 2017 Quarter compared to the 2016 Quarter. The increase in the Terminalling throughput volume was primarily attributable to an increase in marine volumes in Southern California, marine volumes from the Avon marine terminal assets contributed in the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets acquisition and contributions from the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisition. Pipeline transportation throughput volume increased 51 Mbpd, or 6% , in the 2017 Quarter compared to the 2016 Quarter primarily due to an increase in pipeline volumes in Southern California.

FINANCIAL RESULTS. The Terminalling and Transportation segment’s operating income increased $53 million , or 78% , primarily due to the $25 million gain on the sale of a products terminal in Alaska in the 2017 Quarter and higher revenues associated with new commercial terminalling and storage agreements executed with Andeavor in connection with the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets and the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisitions in the second half of 2016. Also contributing to the increase were higher marine terminalling revenues in California driven by higher refinery utilization . The increase in revenues were partially offset by higher operating expenses, particularly related to the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets.


(a)
Adjusted to include the historical results of the Predecessors. Our Predecessors did not record revenue for transactions with Andeavor in the Terminalling and Transportation segment prior to the effective date of the acquisition of the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets.

FINANCIAL RESULTS. The Terminalling and Transportation segment’s operating income increased $88 million in the 2017 Period compared to the 2016 Period primarily attributable to revenues associated with new commercial terminalling and storage agreements executed with Andeavor in connection with the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets and the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisitions in the second half of 2016 in addition to the gain on the sale of a products terminal in Alaska in the 2017 Period. Also contributing to the increase in segment operating income were higher marine terminalling revenues in California driven by higher refinery utilization. The increase in revenues were partially offset by higher operating expenses, particularly related to the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets.

(a)
Adjusted to include the historical results of the Predecessors. Our Predecessors did not record revenue for transactions with Andeavor in the Terminalling and Transportation segment prior to the effective date of the acquisition of the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets.
(b)
Operating expenses include imbalance settlement gains of $2 million for both the 2017 Period and 2016 Period, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

Our primary cash requirements relate to funding capital expenditures, acquisitions, meeting operational needs and paying distributions to our unitholders. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, reimbursement for certain maintenance and expansion expenditures, borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital, long-term capital expenditure, acquisition and debt servicing requirements and allow us to fund at least the minimum quarterly cash distributions.

DEBT OVERVIEW AND AVAILABLE LIQUIDITY

Our Revolving Credit Facility, our secured dropdown credit facility (“Dropdown Credit Facility”) and our senior notes contain covenants that may, among other things, limit or restrict our ability (as well as the ability of our subsidiaries) to engage in certain activities. There have been no changes in these covenants from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Our Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Andeavor, except for Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), and is guaranteed by all of our consolidated subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 

EQUITY OVERVIEW
 
Our partnership agreement authorizes us to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership securities on the terms and conditions determined by our general partner without the approval of the unitholders. Costs associated with the issuance of securities are allocated to all unitholders’ capital accounts based on their ownership interest at the time of issuance.

UNIT ISSUANCE. We closed a registered public offering of 5,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests at a public offering price of $56.19 per unit on February 27, 2017 . The net proceeds of $281 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. Also, general partner units of 101,980 were issued for proceeds of $6 million .

OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash from operating activities increased $82 million to $324 million in the 2017 Period compared to $242 million for the 2016 Period. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily driven by the change in working capital from the 2016 Period to the 2017 Period and an increase in net earnings.
 
INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in investing activities for the 2017 Period was $731 million compared to $178 million in the 2016 Period. The increase in this outflow resulted from the acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets partially offset by proceeds from the sale of certain Alaska terminalling assets and reduced capital expenditures. See “Capital Expenditures” below for a discussion of the expected capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

FINANCING ACTIVITIES. The 2017 Period had net cash used in financing activities of $261 million compared to net cash from financing activities of $602 million for the 2016 Period, an $863 million increase in cash used. Sources of cash such as issuances of long-term debt, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and issuances of equity decreased $701 million , $411 million and $47 million , respectively. However, the use of our cash to repay long-term debt, borrowings on the credit facilities and financing costs also decreased $250 million , $197 million and $17 million , respectively. Distributions to unitholders and our general partner increased $46 million and $28 million , respectively.
 
 
Historically, the Predecessors’ sources of liquidity included cash generated from operations and funding from Andeavor. Cash receipts were deposited in Andeavor’s bank accounts and all cash disbursements were made from those accounts. While there was no Sponsor contribution for the 2017 Period, $91 million was included in cash from financing activities in the 2016 Period, which funded the cash portion of the net loss, capital expenditures and acquisition attributable to the Predecessors.
 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
 
We continue to expect capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2017 to be approximately $325 million , or $295 million net of reimbursements primarily from Andeavor with whom we contract to provide services. During the 2017 Quarter, we spent $24 million on growth capital projects, net of $6 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor, and $10 million on maintenance capital projects, net of $5 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor. During the 2017 Period, we spent $44 million on growth capital projects, net of $17 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor, and $20 million on maintenance capital projects, net of $9 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor. There have been no other material changes to committed amounts for our major capital projects previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Andeavor Logistics made progress on several organic expansion projects including the Los Angeles Refinery Interconnect Pipeline System and the Vermillion Compression project and was awarded several new Bakken projects. The South Coast Air Quality Management District certified the Environmental Impact Report on May 12, 2017 for the Los Angeles Refinery Interconnect Pipeline System. The Partnership expects construction to begin during the second half of 2017.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Our partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the limited partner unitholders and general partner will receive.
 
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we declared distributions of $0.971 , $0.940 and $0.910 per limited partnership unit, respectively, or $3.88 , $3.76 and $3.64 , respectively, on an annualized basis, resulting in cash distributions of $140 million for both the fourth quarter 2016 and first quarter 2017 as well as an expected cash distribution of $147 million for the second quarter 2017. The distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 will be paid August 14, 2017 to all unitholders of record as of August 4, 2017 .

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER MATTERS
 
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION. We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliance with these laws

 
 
June 30, 2017  | 29

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

and regulations may require us to remediate environmental damage from any discharge of petroleum, natural gas or chemical substances from our facilities or require us to install additional pollution control equipment on our equipment and facilities. Our failure to comply with these or any other environmental or safety-related regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial liabilities, and the issuance of injunctions that may subject us to additional operational constraints.
 
Future expenditures may be required to comply with the federal, state and local environmental requirements for our various sites, including our storage facilities, pipelines, gas
 
processing complexes and refined products terminals. The impact of these legislative and regulatory developments, if enacted or adopted, could result in increased compliance costs and additional operating restrictions on our business, each of which could have an adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations. See our discussion of the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement in Note 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , for more information regarding the indemnification of certain environmental matters provided to us by Andeavor and discussion of other certain environmental obligations.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not own or expect to own any material amounts of the refined products, natural gas or crude oil that are shipped through our pipelines, distributed through our terminals or held in our storage facilities, and therefore we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. As part of our acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets, we acquired certain natural gas gathering and processing contracts structured as POP arrangements. Under these POP arrangements, we gather and process the producers’ natural gas and retain and market a portion of the natural gas and NGLs and remit a percentage of the proceeds to the producer. Under these arrangements, we will have exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices; however, this exposure is not expected to be material to our results of operations. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a 10% change in pricing, based on our year-to-date sales, would be less than $1 million to our consolidated operating income.
 
In addition, we are exposed to a limited degree of commodity price risk with respect to our gathering contracts.
 
Specifically, pursuant to our contracts, we retain and sell condensate that is recovered during the gathering of natural gas. Thus, a portion of our revenue is dependent on the price received for the condensate. Condensate historically sells at a price representing a slight discount to the price of crude oil. We consider our exposure to commodity price risk associated with these arrangements to be minimal based on the amount of revenues generated under these arrangements compared to our overall revenues. We do not hedge our exposure using commodity derivative instruments because of the minimal impact of commodity price risk on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a $1 change in condensate pricing, based on our quarter-to-date average throughput, would be immaterial to our consolidated operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Actual results may differ from our expectation above.
 
There have been no other material changes to our market risks as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from the risks discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable SEC rules) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 , that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls.
 
We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the reporting period.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, RISK FACTORS AND UNREGISTERED SHARES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Although we cannot provide assurance, we believe that an adverse resolution of such proceedings would not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

XTO ENERGY INC. V. QEP FIELD SERVICES COMPANY. XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO”) was seeking monetary damages related to our allocation of charges related to XTO’s share of natural gas liquid transportation, fractionation and marketing costs associated with shortfalls in contractual firm processing volumes. In May 2017 , we agreed to a settlement with XTO regarding the disputed receivables, which resulted in a write-off of $5 million of accounts receivable and reversal of previously recognized revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to the dispute. No disputed receivables related to XTO remain after the settlement.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS

There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We may acquire units to satisfy tax withholdings obligations in connection with the vesting of units issued to certain employees. There were no such units acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

2. VOLUME COMMITMENT AND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
(a)    TRMC guarantees that during the Term, (i) TRMC will request that TLO perform Truck Gathering Services each Month for at least the Minimum Volume Commitment each Month of crude petroleum (A) to be received from wellheads, fields, control tank batteries or related collection points in the Williston Basin/Bakken Shale area of Montana and North Dakota and (B) to be delivered to TLO’s proprietary Truck Unloading Facilities, or to other destinations in North Dakota and Montana, whether or not on the High Plains System (C) or to be received and delivered from or to other locations as mutually agreed upon between the parties and set forth in a Trucking Service Order, or, (ii) in the event that TRMC fails to request that TLO do the foregoing, shall remit to TLO the Quarterly Shortfall Payment referred to in Section 7(b) below.
(b)    TRMC may request pursuant to a Trucking Service Order, as described below, that volumes of crude petroleum in excess of the Minimum Volume Commitment be gathered, transported and delivered by TLO (“ Excess Volumes ”). Both the Minimum Volume Commitment and any Excess Volumes gathered and delivered by TLO shall be gathered and transported at the Trucking Rate specified in the applicable Trucking Service Order.
(c)    TRMC may request that volumes of crude petroleum in excess of the Maximum Volume be gathered, transported and delivered by TLO. In any month where TRMC nominates such incremental volumes, TLO and TRMC shall set forth the agreed applicable rate structure for the incremental volumes in a Trucking Service Order. Upon execution of the applicable Trucking Service Order, TLO shall haul the incremental volumes at the agreed upon rates. If a Trucking Service Order for the incremental rate structure is not agreed upon, TLO will not be obligated to haul the incremental volumes.
    

4 of 24



(d)    TLO shall provide TRMC with exclusive dedicated use of the Truck Unloading Facilities listed on Schedule I for the unloading of TRMC’s crude petroleum to be delivered into the High Plains System.
(e)    If THPP or any third party constructs any new pipeline (gathering or otherwise) such that the High Plains System is expanded or extended to any production location (i.e., wellheads, fields or control tank batteries) for volumes of crude petroleum that TRMC is at that time paying TLO to gather by truck, then TRMC will be entitled to a reduction in the Minimum Volume Commitment to account for these new pipeline-gathered volumes, such reduction to be commensurate with the reduced truck gathering volumes and mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Reductions for volumes transported on the new pipeline extension to the Marathon Connelly Hub are already addressed in the definition of the Minimum Volume Commitment, and there will be no further reduction related to those volumes.
(f)    TRMC may apply any volumes of crude petroleum that are (i) either (A) purchased by third parties from TRMC or (B) purchased by TRMC on a delivered basis to the Truck Unloading Facilities and (ii) transported by TLO under contract with the applicable third party (a “ Third Party Customer ”) towards TRMC’s Minimum Volume Commitment hereunder, provided however that the third party transportation rate with TLO is equal to the Trucking Rate set forth on the Trucking Service Order. In the event that such third party transportation rate with TLO is less than the Trucking Rate, TRMC shall pay TLO the difference between such rates.
    (g)    If a Third Party Customer cancels their trucking contract with TLO due to TLO’s inability to meet such Third Party Customer’s minimum customer service requirements, TRMC may reduce any volumes purchased under that Third Party Customer agreement that were previously trucked by TLO from the Minimum Volume Commitment; provided however, that TRMC shall provide TLO with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such intention to reduce the Minimum Volume Commitment so that TLO may attempt to cure any issues with the Third Party Customer and resume performing services with such Third Party Customer.
3. TERM; HESS AGREEMENT
The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date (the “ Initial Term ”) and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis (the “ Extension Term ”) with either Party having the right to terminate by giving the other Party at least ninety (90) days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Extension Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and the Extension Term, if applicable, thereof shall be referred to herein as the “ Term ”. Provided, however , that if Hess Trading Corporation (“ Hess ”) and TRMC do not renew or otherwise extend the term of their existing agreement (which commenced on July 1, 2015, TS130101 as amended) by June 30, 2017 then, upon TRMC providing TLO with ninety (90) Days prior written notice, the Minimum Volume Commitment shall be decreased to a Monthly average of 10,000 bpd for the remaining Term of this Agreement.
4. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
5. TRUCKING SERVICE ORDERS; ADJUSTMENTS AND REIMBURSEMENTS FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
(a) In addition to the Minimum Volume Commitment set forth in this Agreement, TLO and TRMC may enter into trucking service orders substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “ Trucking Service Order ”). Upon a request by TRMC pursuant to this Agreement or as

5 of 24



deemed necessary or appropriate by TLO in connection with the services to be delivered pursuant hereto, TLO shall generate a Trucking Service Order to set forth the specific terms and conditions for providing the applicable services described therein and the applicable fees to be charged for such services. No Trucking Service Order shall be effective until fully executed by both TLO and TRMC.
(b) Items available for inclusion on a Trucking Service Order include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) any additional or ancillary Truck Gathering Services;
(ii) the amount of requested Excess Volumes;
(iii) the tank usage rate for all Barrels unloaded from trucks into the Truck Unloading Facilities, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order (the “ Tank Usage Rate ”);
(iv) trucking rates to be paid by TRMC, including the applicable dispatch fee and minimum rate components thereof (if applicable), subject to adjustment as set forth in this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order (the “ Trucking Rate ”); and
(v) quarterly rate adjustments in excess of those in Section 5(e) and the annual agreement between the parties upon five third party carriers.
(vi) additional receipt and delivery locations mutually agreed upon between the Parties.
(c) In case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Trucking Service Order, the terms of the applicable Trucking Service Order shall govern.
(d) The Tank Usage Rate, the Trucking Rate, and the Shortfall Rate shall be adjusted annually on the first day of the Month in which the anniversary date of the Effective Date falls, by a percentage equal to the change in the CPI-U (All Urban Consumers), as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(e) TLO shall make the following Monthly adjustments to the rates being charged hereunder or under any Trucking Service Order:
(i)
a Monthly per mile adjustment to the mileage rate components of the Trucking Rate to cover any increase in fuel prices (as determined by reference to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s On-Highway Diesel Prices for the Rocky Mountain Region against a baseline of January 2017) incurred or experienced by TLO in connection with providing Truck Gathering Services under this Agreement; and
(ii)
a Monthly surcharge on the services provided hereunder to cover TRMC's proportionate share of the increased costs of complying with any new laws or regulations that affect the services provided to TRMC, if after TLO has made commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such laws or regulations, such new laws or regulations require TLO to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures. Any such Monthly surcharge shall be set forth in a Trucking Service Order. If the Monthly surcharge increases rates on deliveries of crude oil by over 15% from the

6 of 24



rates that would have otherwise been applicable, then TRMC may terminate this Agreement as to the affected volumes and receive a credit against the Minimum Volume Commitment for the volumes that would have otherwise been trucked hereunder.
(f)     Reimbursements . TRMC shall reimburse TLO for the following:
(i)
Actual costs of any capital expenditures TLO or THPP agrees to make at TRMC’s request pursuant to a Trucking Service Order to provide additional Truck Gathering Services hereunder, other than capital expenditures required for TLO (A) to continue to provide those Truck Gathering Services specified hereunder or (B) to handle the Minimum Volume Commitment increases specified herein; and
(ii)
All taxes (other than income taxes, gross receipt taxes and similar taxes) that TLO incurs on TRMC’s behalf for the services TLO provides to TRMC under this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order, if such reimbursement is not prohibited by law.
6. PAYMENTS
(a)     Payments for Minimum Volume Commitment, etc. : TLO shall invoice TRMC on a Monthly basis and TRMC shall pay all amounts due (including any Quarterly Shortfall Payments, as defined herein, and payments for Excess Volumes) no later than ten (10) calendar days after TRMC's receipt of TLO's invoices. Any past due amounts owed by TRMC to TLO shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum from the due date of the payment through the actual date of payment.
(b)     Quarterly Shortfall Payment : If, during any Month, TRMC fails to request in good faith that TLO cause to be gathered an amount of crude petroleum equal to the Minimum Volume Commitment for such Month, then TRMC shall pay to TLO an amount (the “ Quarterly Shortfall Payment ”) equal to (i) the Quarterly Volume Shortfall (ii) multiplied by the Shortfall Rate. The “ Shortfall Rate” shall be an amount stated in an applicable Trucking Service Order, adjusted for inflation as provided in Section 5(d) . The “ Quarterly Volume Shortfall ” for any Quarter shall mean the volume of Barrels by which (x) the product of (A) the Minimum Volume Commitment (B) multiplied by the number of days in any given Quarter (y) exceeds the Actual Barrels Gathered by TLO during such Month. [ (QVS = MVC x days) - ABG ].
7. SERVICES PROVIDED BY TLO; VOLUME LOSSES
(a)     Summary of Services : In consideration of TRMC’s Minimum Volume Commitment and the fees and charges specified in Section 5 , pursuant to this Agreement and any Trucking Service Order, TLO shall provide the Truck Gathering Services and the use of TLO’s Truck Unloading Facilities at the sites listed in Schedule I to allow deliveries of TRMC’s crude petroleum into the High Plains System.
(b)     Truck Unloading Facilities : TLO shall maintain the Truck Unloading Facilities in good operating condition, subject to normal wear and tear, force majeure and normal deterioration. If a Truck Unloading Facility becomes unusable due to damage or condition, then TLO shall promptly repair or replace the defective facilities, so long as it is commercially practical to do so and permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

7 of 24



it shall notify TRMC, and the parties shall set forth in a Trucking Service Order any revised terms that could allow such site to be reopened, and if the parties do not agree to reopen the site, then it shall be removed from Schedule I . If TLO constructs or adds (by purchase or otherwise) additional truck unloading facilities adjacent to the High Plains System, then TLO shall supplement, modify or otherwise update Schedule I attached hereto, specifying such new truck unloading facility, provide an updated Schedule I to TRMC as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event before TLO brings such truck unloading facility into operation. Notwithstanding the above, TLO may provide additional truck unloading facilities for the use of third parties who desire to deliver crude oil into the High Plains System, provided that such use does not allow the commingling of third party crude oil with TRMC’s crude oil in the Truck Unloading Facilities or otherwise interfere with TRMC’s rights to use the existing Truck Unloading Facilities and the Truck Gathering Services.
(c)     Transport Vehicles : TLO shall ensure that all transport vehicles used will be clean and free of contaminants, will be in compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations and designated as the proper container for the crude petroleum being transported.

The crude petroleum hauled on a transport truck or stored in a TLO Truck Unloading Facility prior to loading a new delivery must be compatible with the crude petroleum that is being loaded or stored so as to not cause contamination of loaded or stored crude petroleum. TRMC as part of its quality control may test the quality of crude petroleum delivered by TLO. TLO agrees to abide by the quality control procedures mutually agreed by the parties from time to time. TRMC shall at all times retain title to the crude petroleum gathered, transported and delivered by TLO hereunder and shall remain responsible for all risk of loss, damage, deterioration, or contamination as to such crude petroleum, except for that caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order by TLO, its agents, employees or contractors.
(f)     Delivery : Immediately upon receipt of crude petroleum from any designated pick-up location, TLO shall safely and expeditiously transport the crude petroleum to its applicable Truck Unloading Facility or other destination as provided for in Section 2(a) .

21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
(a) Obligations . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 21 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:
(i)    is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;
(ii)    was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of TRMC that was in the possession of TLO or any of its Affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the TRMC's logistics assets prior to the Effective Date);
(iii)    is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or
(iv)    is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
For the purpose of this Section 21 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.
(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 21(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 the New York Stock 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.

16 of 24



(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 upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with such destruction certified by the receiving Party, 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 21 , 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.
(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.
22. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Modification; Waiver . This Agreement and any Trucking Service Order may be terminated, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Trucking Service Order may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order, 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 or any Trucking Service Order 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, Exhibits and Trucking Service Orders, 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 and any Trucking Service Order shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have

17 of 24



jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Trucking Service Order brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(d) Counterparts . This Agreement and any Trucking Service Order may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.
(e) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and any Trucking Service Order will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, any Trucking Service Order 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 and any Trucking Service Order 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 PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRUCKING SERVICE ORDER OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.
(h) Schedules and Exhibits . Each of the Schedules, Exhibits and Trucking Service Orders attached hereto and referred to herein is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

Such insurance shall provide coverage to TRMC and such policies, other than Worker’s Compensation Insurance, shall include TRMC as an additional insured. Each policy shall provide that it is primary to and not contributory with any other insurance, including any self-insured retention, maintained by TLO (which shall be excess) and each policy shall provide the full coverage required by this Agreement. All such insurance shall be written with carriers and underwriters acceptable to TRMC, and eligible to do business in the states where the gathering operations are located and having and maintaining an A.M. Best financial strength rating of no less than “A-”and financial size rating no less than “VII”; provided that TLO and/or the Carrier may procure worker’s compensation insurance from the state fund of the state where the gathering operations are located.

(ii)

(iii)
Commercial General Liability Insurance, including contractual liability insurance covering Carrier’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, or such higher limits as may be required by TRMC or by Applicable Law from time to time. This policy shall include Broad Form Contractual Liability insurance coverage which shall specifically apply to the obligations assumed in this Agreement by TLO;
(iv)
Automobile Liability Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, or such higher limit(s) as may be required by TLO or by Applicable Law from time to time. Coverage must assure compliance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and all applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Highway Administration’s Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety and Interstate Commerce Commissioner (Form MCS 90 Endorsement). Limits of liability for this insurance must be in accordance with the financial responsibility requirement of the Motor Carrier Act, but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence;
(v)
Excess (Umbrella) Liability Insurance with limits not less than $4,000,000 per occurrence. Additional excess limits may be utilized to supplement inadequate limits in the primary policies required in items (ii), (iii), and (iv) above;





(vi) Pollution Legal Liability with limits not less than $25,000,000 per loss with an annual aggregate of $25,000,000. Coverage shall apply to bodily injury and property damage including loss of use of damaged property and property that has not been physically injured; clean up costs, defense, including costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, defense or settlement of claim; and
(vii)
Property Insurance, with a limit of no less than $1,000,000, which property insurance shall be first-party property insurance to adequately cover TLO’s owned property; including personal property of others.
(b)      All such policies must be endorsed with a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement, effectively waiving rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise, against TRMC, and shall contain where applicable, a severability of interest clause and a standard cross liability clause.
(c)      Upon execution of this Agreement and prior to the operation of any equipment by TLO, Carrier or its authorized drivers, TLO and/or Carrier will furnish to TRMC, and at least annually thereafter (or at any other times upon request by TRMC) during the Term (and for any coverage maintained on a “claims-made” basis, for two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement), insurance certificates and/or certified copies of the original policies to evidence the insurance required herein, including on behalf of Carrier’s contractors providing authorized vehicles or authorized drivers. Such certificates shall be in the form of the “Accord” Certificate of Insurance, and reflect that they are for the benefit of TRMC and shall provide that there will be no material change in or cancellation of the policies unless TRMC is given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Certificates providing evidence of renewal of coverage shall be furnished to TRMC prior to policy expiration.
(d)      TLO and/or Carrier shall be solely responsible for any deductibles or self-insured retention.
