Any time after the Closing Date, TRMC may request that the Operating Company terminate the Shippers Transport License Agreement and enter into a License Agreement with TRMC, upon terms and conditions to be agreed upon by TRMC and the Operating Company, to provide TRMC the use of the Licensed Terminal Lot. If TRMC makes such a request of the Operating Company, TRMC shall reimburse the Operating Company for any costs and expenses incurred by the Operating Company in terminating the Shippers Transport License Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.1    Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that the sublease of the Berth 121 Port Lease and the sublease of the Terminal 2 Port Lease are intended for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, where applicable, state and local income tax purposes) to be treated as a contribution of the Berth 121 Port Lease and Terminal 2 Port Lease, respectively, by Tesoro (as a result of TRMC and General Partner each being disregarded as entities separate from Tesoro) to the Partnership (as a result of Operating Company being disregarded as an entity separate from Partnership) in exchange for the applicable portion of the distribution and issuance described in Section 2.3(b) (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Except as required by applicable law, the Parties shall prepare and file all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax

Section 6.9    Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties. Each such instrument shall be reduced to writing and shall be designated on its face as an amendment to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, any amendment executed by the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries shall not be effective unless and until the execution of such amendment has been approved by the conflicts committee of the General Partner’s board of directors.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises above and the mutual agreements set forth in the Contribution Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.    Bill of Sale and Assignment of Assets. Carson Cogen hereby distributes to TRMC and its successors and assigns, forever, the entire right, title and interest of Carson Cogen in and to any and all of the Fee-Owned Pipeline 88 Interest (each as defined in, described in, and subject to the terms of, the Contribution Agreement, which includes the assets set forth on Schedule A attached hereto). TRMC hereby transfers, conveys, assigns, grants, bargains, sets over, releases, delivers, vests and confirms unto the General Partner and its successors and assigns, forever, the entire right, title and interest of TRMC in and to any and all of the Assets (as defined in, described in, and subject to the terms of, the Contribution Agreement, which includes the assets set forth on Schedule A attached hereto). The General Partner hereby transfers, conveys, assigns, grants, bargains, sets over, releases, delivers, vests and confirms unto the Partnership and its successors and assigns, forever, the entire right, title and interest of the General Partner in and to any and all of the Assets (as defined in, described in, and subject to the terms of, the Contribution Agreement, which includes the assets set forth on Schedule A attached hereto).

Exhibit E – Page 2
Contribution Agreement




2.    Assignment and Assumption. Carson Cogen hereby assigns to TRMC all of Carson Cogen’s responsibilities, coverages and liabilities in and to the Fee-Owned Pipeline 88 Interest, and TRMC hereby agrees to assume, pay, discharge and perform when due all of those responsibilities, coverages and liabilities. TRMC hereby assigns to the General Partner all of TRMC’s responsibilities, coverages and liabilities in and to the Assets, including the responsibilities, coverages and liabilities of TRMC in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) solely to the extent they relate to the Assets, and the General Partner hereby agrees to assume, pay, discharge and perform when due all of the those responsibilities, coverages and liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner does not assume, or agree to pay, discharge or perform when due, any Excluded Assets and Liabilities. The General Partner hereby assigns to the Partnership all of the General Partner’s responsibilities, coverages and liabilities in and to the Assets, including the responsibilities, coverages and liabilities of the General Partner in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) solely to the extent they relate to the Assets, and the Partnership hereby agrees to assume, pay, discharge and perform when due all of the those responsibilities, coverages and liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership does not assume, or agree to pay, discharge or perform when due, any Excluded Assets and Liabilities. The Partnership hereby assigns to the Operating Company all of the Partnership’s responsibilities, coverages and liabilities in and to the Assets, including the responsibilities, coverages and liabilities of the Partnership in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) solely to the extent they relate to the Assets, and the Operating Company hereby agrees to assume, pay, discharge and perform when due all of the those responsibilities, coverages and liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Company does not assume, or agree to pay, discharge or perform when due, any Excluded Assets and Liabilities.
3.    Clarification. For the avoidance of doubt, any conveyance of title to the Assets from Carson Cogen or TRMC, as applicable, to the Operating Company or assumption of any obligations of Carson Cogen or TRMC, as applicable, by the Operating Company is solely to minimize the need for additional conveyance documents and instruments; the intent of the Parties (and the intended treatment of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement) is for Carson Cogen to distribute the applicable Assets and obligations to TRMC pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Contribution Agreement, for TRMC to convey the applicable Assets and obligations to the General Partner pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Contribution Agreement, for the General Partner to convey the applicable Assets and obligations to the Partnership pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Contribution Agreement, and for the Partnership to convey the applicable Assets and obligations to the Operating Company pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Contribution Agreement. The distribution by Carson Cogen and conveyance of the applicable Assets and obligations by TRMC, the General Partner and the Partnership to the Operating Company pursuant to this Instrument is not intended to be treated as a sale for tax or any other purposes. Furthermore, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the only obligations of Carson Cogen or TRMC to be assumed by the Operating Company (after all relevant distributions and conveyances by Carson Cogen, TRMC, the General Partner and the Partnership) are those that specifically relate to the Assets to be contributed, meaning that it is intended that the Operating Company shall not assume any obligations of Carson Cogen or TRMC not specifically tied to the Assets (for example, and not by way of limitation, any obligations with respect to any of the representations and warranties of TRMC in the BP

Contribution Agreement




Purchase and Sale Agreement, any obligations with respect to “Assumed Liabilities” (as defined in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement) that do not specifically relate to the Assets or with respect to TRMC’s obligations with respect to Remedial Work.
4.    Further Assurances. Carson Cogen, TRMC, the General Partner and the Partnership hereby covenant and agree that, at any time and from time to time after the date of this Instrument, at the Operating Company's request, Carson Cogen, TRMC, the General Partner and the Partnership will execute and deliver such documents and instruments of conveyance and transfer as the Operating Company may reasonably request to consummate more effectively the contribution of the Assets as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and to vest in Operating Company title to the Assets transferred under this Instrument.
5.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Successors in Interest. This Instrument shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives.
(b)    Schedule; Number; Gender; Captions. The schedule to this Instrument is hereby incorporated into, and made a part of, this Instrument. Whenever the context so requires, the singular number shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular, and the gender of any pronoun shall include the other genders. Titles and captions of or in this Instrument are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way affect the scope or intent of this Instrument.
(c)    Applicable Law. This Instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

(e)    Amendment. This Instrument may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Operating Company, Carson Cogen, TRMC, the General Partner and the Partnership.
(f)    Counterparts. This Instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile or .pdf copies) with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.
