and other governmental charges of any kind (the “Real Property Taxes”) levied on or assessed against the Refinery which are allocable to the Premises, as more particularly described herein, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of Landlord’s invoice therefor accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation.

(a) Tenant bears the cost of any such work.

(b) The Premises must at all times be kept free of mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens.

8.03 Ownership of Buildings, Improvements and Fixtures. Any buildings, improvements, additions, alterations, and fixtures existing, constructed, placed or maintained on any part of the Premises during the Lease term are considered part of the real property of the Premises but shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Lease term, including all Storage Area Improvements and equipment related to the Storage Facility situated on the Premises as of the Commencement Date or hereafter placed on the Premises by Tenant. In addition to Landlord’s right of entry set forth in Section 18.01 hereof, Landlord shall have the right upon not less than twenty-four hours’ notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergencies, in which no prior notice is required) to enter upon the Premises for the purposes of inspecting, maintaining, repairing, modifying and/or replacing all or any portion of the Storage Area Improvements located thereon, to the extent that Tenant has failed to do so and such failure to complete the maintenance, repair, modification or replacement is in violation of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. To the extent that any such maintenance, repair, modification or replacement is undertaken by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred, within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice from Landlord detailing such amounts.

8.04 Right to Remove Tenant’s Property. Tenant may, at any time while it occupies the Premises, remove any furniture, machinery, equipment, fixtures or other improvements owned or placed by Tenant in, under, or on the Premises, so long as such removal does not result in the violation of any terms of this Lease. If this Lease has not been terminated prior to its stated expiration date, then at least six (6) months before the stated expiration date, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant informing it of any improvements or other property located on the Premises that Landlord will require Tenant to remove, and if so, specifying which improvements or property are to be removed (the “Removal Notice”). Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause those improvements and property specified by the Removal Notice to be removed from the Premises, and cause any damage to the Premises resulting therefrom to be repaired and the Premises restored to a safe condition, prior to the expiration of the Lease term. Upon termination of this Lease, all such property and improvements remaining on the Premises shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may keep, change or dispose of such property and improvements in Landlord’s sole and

absolute discretion, without any liability to Tenant therefor. If Tenant has failed to remove any improvements or property as required by the Removal Notice or has failed to repair and restore the Premises as required by terms of this Section 8.04, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual costs incurred by Landlord to do so.

ARTICLE 9. ENCUMBRANCE OF LEASEHOLD ESTATE

9.01 Tenant’s Right to Encumber. Tenant may, at any time and from time to time, encumber the leasehold interest, by deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, but no such encumbrance constitutes a lien on Landlord’s fee title. The indebtedness secured by the encumbrance will at all times be and remain inferior and subordinate to all the conditions, covenants, and obligations of this Lease and to all of Landlord’s rights under this Lease. References in this Lease to “Lender” refer to any person or entity to whom Tenant has encumbered its leasehold interest.

9.02 Notices to Lender. At any time after execution and recordation in Skagit County, Washington, of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering Tenant’s leasehold interest, Lender shall notify Landlord in writing that the mortgage or deed of trust has been given and executed by Tenant and furnish Landlord with the address to which copies of all notices to Tenant by Landlord are to be mailed. Landlord must mail to Lender, at the addresses given, copies of all written notices that Landlord gives or serves on Tenant under the terms of this Lease after receiving such notice from Lender.

9.03 Lender’s Consent Required for Modification. Landlord and Tenant will neither modify in any material respect nor terminate this Lease by mutual consent without Lender’s written consent.

9.04 Lender’s Right to Prevent Forfeiture. Lender may do any act required of Tenant to prevent forfeiture of Tenant’s leasehold interest; all such acts are as effective to prevent a forfeiture of Tenant’s rights under this Lease as if done by Tenant.

9.05 Lender’s Right to Foreclose. Lender may realize on the security afforded by the leasehold estate by exercising foreclosure proceedings or power of sale or other remedy afforded in law or equity or by the security documents and may transfer, convey, or assign Tenant’s title to the leasehold estate created by this Lease to any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale. Lender also may acquire and succeed to Tenant’s interest under this Lease by virtue of any such foreclosure sale. Lender will not be or become liable to Landlord as an assignee of this Lease or otherwise unless it assumes such liability in writing, and no assumption may be inferred from or result from foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure or as the result of any other action or remedy provided for by the mortgage or deed of trust or other instrument or from a conveyance from Tenant under which the buyer at foreclosure or grantee acquires Tenant’s rights and interest under this Lease. Any purchaser of the property at a foreclosure sale becomes obligated to Landlord as the Tenant under the Lease, and such party must be satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, such that it will be in a position to provide the services required of Tenant hereunder, and that each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Landlord by this Lease, shall not be impaired or diminished as of result of such assignment of the leasehold interest.

ARTICLE 10. REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, AND RESTORATION

10.01 Tenant’s Duty to Maintain and Repair. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant will keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, all buildings and improvements erected on the Premises in a good state of appearance and repair (except for reasonable wear and tear) at Tenant’s own expense, in compliance with the terms of that certain Storage Services Agreement – Anacortes II, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified and/or extended from time to time) by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “Storage Services Agreement”) and the provisions of Section 7.01 above.

ARTICLE 11. MECHANICS’ LIENS

Tenant will not cause or permit any mechanics’ liens or other liens to be filed against the fee of the Premises or against Tenant’s leasehold interest (excluding any leasehold mortgage) in the land or any buildings or improvements on the Premises by reason of any work, labor, services, or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant or anyone holding the Premises or any part of them through or under Tenant. If such a mechanics’ lien or materialmens’ lien is recorded against the Premises or any buildings or improvements on them, Tenant must either cause it to be released or, if Tenant in good faith wishes to contest the lien, take timely action to do so, at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant contests the lien, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from all liability for damages occasioned by the lien or the lien contest and will, in the event of a judgment of foreclosure on the lien, cause the lien to be discharged and released before enforcement of the judgment is completed.

ARTICLE 12. CONDEMNATION

12.01 Parties’ Interests. If the Premises or any part of them are taken for public or quasi-public purposes by condemnation as a result of any action or proceeding in eminent domain, or are transferred in lieu of condemnation to any authority entitled to exercise the power of eminent domain, this article governs Landlord’s and Tenant’s interests in the award or consideration for the transfer and the effect of the taking or transfer on this Lease.

12.02 Total Taking—Termination. If the entire Premises are taken or so transferred as described in Section 12.01, this Lease and all of the rights, titles, and interests under it will cease on the date that title to the Premises or part of them vests in the condemning authority.

12.03 Partial Taking—Termination. If only part of the Premises is taken or transferred as described in Section 12.01, Tenant may terminate this Lease by providing notice of termination to Landlord within a reasonable time after title to the portion of the Premises taken or transferred vests in the condemning authority.

12.04 Allocation of Condemnation Award.

(a) Lease Not Terminated. In the event of a condemnation of any portion of the Premises and if this Lease is not terminated, the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, Tenant shall receive so much of the award as is necessary to restore the Improvements and for the value of the Improvements taken; and

(ii) Second, Landlord shall receive the balance of the award.

(b) Lease Terminated. In the event of a condemnation and this Lease is terminated as herein provided, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the condemning authority to make separate awards to Landlord, on the one hand, and Tenant, on the other hand, as to their respective interests. If the condemning authority does not make such separate awards, then the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that each party shall receive that portion of the award which bears the same proportion of the total award as the value of such party’s interests in the Premises bears to the total value of all interests in the Premises. The value of Landlord’s interests shall include the value of the land; the value of Landlord’s interest in this Lease had the Premises not been condemned, including the right to receive payment of all sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the remainder of the Lease term; and the value of Landlord’s residual right to the improvements located on the Premises upon termination of this Lease. The value of Tenant’s interest shall include the value of the improvements located on the Premises reduced by the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest therein; and the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder had the Premises not been condemned, including the right to use and occupy the Premises for the remainder of the Lease term subject to the obligation of Tenant to pay the amounts due hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled to claim in any condemnation proceedings such award as may be allowed for relocation costs or other consequential damages, but only to the extent that the same shall not reduce, and shall be in addition to, the award for the Premises and the improvements located on the Premises.

ARTICLE 13. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

13.01 Insurance on Buildings and Improvements. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant will keep all buildings and other improvements located or being constructed on the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire, with extended-coverage endorsement or its equivalent. This insurance is to be carried by insurance companies selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The insurance must be paid for by Tenant and will be in amounts not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the buildings and other improvements. Tenant may self-insure a greater percentage of this coverage if so agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing.

13.02 Other Agreements. The insurance and indemnification obligations of Landlord and Tenant are set forth in the Storage Services Agreement and that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) among Andeavor, Landlord, Tesoro

 

9


Companies, Inc., Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, Andeavor Logistics LP and Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC. In the event of a conflict of provisions of the Storage Services Agreement and those of the Omnibus Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in the Storage Services Agreement.

ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

Tenant may not transfer, assign or sublease its leasehold estate or any portion thereof or any of its right, title or interest in this Lease (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Any merger, consolidation or transfer of the direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in Tenant that results in a direct or indirect change in the right to control the management of Tenant shall constitute a Transfer as defined above.

ARTICLE 15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

15.01 Termination on Default. Except as otherwise specifically noted in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant defaults in performing any covenant or term of this Lease and does not correct the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant declare this Lease, and all rights and interests created by it, terminated; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may not exercise its remedies under this Article unless Tenant (i) fails to commence the cure of the default within such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) thereafter fails to proceed with curative measures with reasonable diligence. If the Storage Services Agreement is terminated by reason of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right by written notice to Tenant to declare this Lease, and all rights and interests created by it, terminated.

15.02 Landlord’s Right to Purchase Improvements upon Default by Tenant. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.01, then without prejudice to any rights or remedies provided herein, Landlord shall have the right to purchase all improvements on the Premises owned by Tenant. Landlord may exercise such right by indicating Landlord’s election to purchase such improvements in Landlord’s written notice to Tenant terminating this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall promptly arrange to have the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises determined by appraisal, shall have the appraisal completed within sixty (60) days of the date on which the notice of termination is given, and shall thereafter provide a copy of such appraisal to Tenant (the “Appraisal Delivery Date”). Within thirty (30) days after the Appraisal Delivery Date (the “Response Date”), Tenant shall notify Landlord (x) that it is in agreement with the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, or (b) that it objects to the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, in which event it shall provide its own determination of fair market value of the improvements, also as determined by appraisal, when it provides its objection by the Response Date. If Tenant is in agreement with the fair market value determined by Landlord’s appraisal or if Tenant fails to provide an objection by the Response Date, then the amount determined by Landlord’s appraisal shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds, within ten (10) days following the Response Date. If Tenant objects to the fair market value

 

10


of the improvements as determined by Landlord’s appraisal and provides notice of such objection to Landlord on or before the Response Date, then within ten (10) days after the Response Date, each of the appraisers initially retained by Landlord and Tenant to make the determination as to the fair market value of the improvements shall appoint a third appraiser to act as arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall, within fifteen (15) days after his or her appointment, select as the fair market value of the improvements either the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal or the fair market value set forth in Tenant’s appraisal and inform both Landlord and Tenant, in writing, of such selection. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to average the appraised values, or to designate an amount other than the fair market value specified in either Landlord’s appraisal or Tenant’s appraisal. Within ten (10) days following the date on which the parties receive written notice of the Arbitrator’s selection, the amount selected as the fair market value of the improvements shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds. Following the payment by Landlord to Tenant applicable to the fair market value of the improvements, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights under or obligations arising from this Lease. The appraisers retained to make a determination regarding the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises shall each be an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser conducting business in the Skagit County industrial market and having not less than ten (10) years active experience as an MAI commercial real estate appraiser. The fair market value of the improvements on the Premises owned by Tenant shall be determined by any such appraiser based on information regarding, without limitation, the nature of the particular improvement, its age and functionality, and the current sale price of similar improvements in the same industry, all as valued for their highest and best use at the time of termination of this Lease.

15.03 Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Lease as provided in this Article 15 will not relieve Tenant from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Landlord under the Lease at the time of termination, or any claim for damages then or previously accruing against Tenant under this Lease. Any such termination will not prevent Landlord from enforcing the payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering damages from Tenant for any default under the Lease.

ARTICLE 16. RESERVED

TENANT ACCEPTS THIS LEASE UNDER THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF LANDLORD WITH REGARD TO THE PREMISES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUITABILITY FOR TENANT’S INTENDED USE THEREOF (EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 17.02 AND SUCH WARRANTIES AS MAY BE SET FORTH IN THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT).

ARTICLE 18. GENERAL PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS

18.01 Right of Entry and Inspection. Tenant acknowledges that a substantial portion of the Premises are located outdoors and within the boundaries of the Refinery. Accordingly, Tenant will permit Landlord or its agents, representatives, or employees to enter the Premises consisting of outdoor areas at all times, without notice, in connection with Landlord’s operations at the Refinery, and to at all times have access to and the right to use any and all roads that are located on the Premises. Accordingly, Tenant shall keep any existing roads that cross the Premises unobstructed. With respect to any portion of the Premises consisting of buildings, Tenant will permit Landlord or its agents, representatives, or employees to enter such buildings at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an emergency, when no prior notice will be required) for the purposes of inspection, determining whether Tenant is complying with this Lease, and maintaining, repairing, or altering the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof.

18.02 No Partnership or Joint Venture. The relationship between Landlord and Tenant is at all times solely that of landlord and tenant and may not be deemed a partnership or a joint venture.

18.03 No Termination on Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the appointment of a receiver will not affect this Lease as long as Tenant and Landlord or their respective successors or legal representatives continue to perform all covenants of this Lease.

18.04 No Waiver. No waiver by either party of any default or breach of any covenant or term of this Lease may be treated as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other covenant or term of this Lease.

18.05 Release of Landlord. If Landlord sells or transfers all or part of the Premises and as a part of the transaction assigns its interest as Landlord in this Lease, then as of the effective date of the sale, assignment, or transfer, Landlord will have no further liability under this Lease to Tenant, except with respect to liability matters that have accrued and are unsatisfied as of that date. Underlying this release is the parties’ intent that Landlord’s covenants and obligations under this Lease will bind Landlord and its successors and assigns only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of the fee.
