If, and only if, Tesoro exercises the option set forth in subsection (b) above, Tesoro shall not have the option to extend the Term for any additional Extension Periods. The Initial Term, and any extensions of this Agreement as provided above, shall be referred to herein as the “Term.”

4. MINIMUM THROUGHPUT COMMITMENT

     (a) During the Term of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tesoro shall throughput the Minimum Throughput Commitment at the Terminals, and TLO shall make available to Tesoro commingled storage and throughput capacity at each respective Terminal, sufficient to allow Tesoro to throughput the Stipulated Capacity of Products at such Terminal. Allocation of storage and throughput capacity for separate Products at each Terminal shall be in accordance with current practices, or as otherwise may be agreed among the Parties from time to time.

     (b) Tesoro shall pay a per-barrel fee for the volumes it throughputs at the Terminals in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. In addition, if the Parties mutually determine to utilize dedicated storage tanks at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Tesoro shall pay a fee for dedicated storage capacity at the Terminals, which fee shall be mutually determined at such time and set forth in a Schedule to this Agreement.

     (c) Tesoro may throughput volumes in excess of its Minimum Throughput Commitment, up to the then-available capacity of each Terminal, net of any third-party commitments, as determined by TLO at any time. Allocation of any excess capacity shall be in accordance with current practices, or as otherwise may be agreed among the Parties from time to time. Any excess throughput volumes shall be subject to the throughput and Ancillary Service fees set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B, respectively.

     (d) All fees set forth in this Agreement shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, on July 1 of each year of the Term, 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) In the event at any time this Agreement is terminated as to one or more Terminals, as provided herein, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall thereafter be adjusted to be the Adjusted Minimum Volume Commitment.

5. ANCILLARY SERVICES

     TLO shall provide Ancillary Services for each Terminal and the fees for such Ancillary Services are set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. If any additional ancillary services are requested by Tesoro that are different in kind, scope or frequency from the Ancillary Services that have been historically provided, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine whether such ancillary services may be provided and the appropriate rates to be charged for such additional ancillary services.

6. SURCHARGES

     If, during the term of this Agreement, new laws or regulations are enacted that require TLO to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with respect to the Terminals, TLO may impose a monthly surcharge to cover Tesoro’s pro rata share of the cost of complying with these laws or regulations, based upon the percentage of Tesoro’s use of the services or facilities impacted by such new laws or regulations. TLO and Tesoro shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply with these laws and regulations, and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of these laws and regulations and to determine the level of the monthly surcharge.

7. PAYMENT; SHORTFALL PAYMENTS

     (a) TLO shall invoice Tesoro on a monthly basis and Tesoro shall pay all amounts due (including Shortfall Payments and Curtailment Fees, each as defined herein) no later than ten (10) calendar days after Tesoro’s receipt of TLO’s invoices. Any past due payments owed by Tesoro to TLO shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the due date of the payment through the actual date of payment.

     (b) If, during any Month during the Term, Tesoro throughputs aggregate volumes less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Month, then Tesoro shall pay TLO an amount (a “Shortfall Payment”) for any shortfall. Shortfall Payments shall be equal to the weighted average Terminalling Service Fee paid by Tesoro during that Month across all of the Terminals, multiplied by the aggregate monthly shortfall across all Terminals. The dollar amount of any Shortfall Payment paid by Tesoro shall be posted as a credit (a “Credit”) to Tesoro’s account and may be applied against any Excess Amounts owed by Tesoro during any of the succeeding three (3) Months. For informational purposes only, attached as Exhibit 1 hereto is a sample calculation demonstrating the Shortfall Payment and its

application. Credits will be applied in the order in which such Credits accrue and any remaining portion of the Credit that is not used by Tesoro during the succeeding three (3) Months shall expire (e.g., a Credit that accrues in January will be available in February, March and April, will expire at the end of April, and must be applied prior to applying any Credit which accrues in February).

     (c) If at any time during the Term, any tank, rack or other equipment or facility of TLO that is dedicated to Tesoro or otherwise being used to provide services hereunder, is removed from service for reasons other than routine repair and maintenance, and if removal of such tank, rack or other equipment or facility from service restricts Tesoro from being able to throughput its Stipulated Volume and receive associated Ancillary Services at the Terminal where such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is located, then until such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is restored to service, Tesoro’s Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be reduced by the difference between the Stipulated Volume and the amount that Tesoro can effectively throughput at such location without restriction until such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is restored to service.

8. VOLUME LOSSES

     (a) With respect only to the Anchorage, Boise, Burley, Stockton and Vancouver Terminals, TLO shall bear the risk of any actual volume losses of each Product to the extent that such losses exceed 0.25% of the volumes of such Product received at the Terminal, to be pro rated among all Terminal users, during any Month during the Term. Volumes and losses of each Product shall be determined and accounted for as of the end of each Month. To the extent that actual losses of any Product are less than 0.25% during any particular Month, Tesoro shall repurchase from TLO the difference between the actual loss and the 0.25% allowance at a price per barrel for that Product as reported by the Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) using the monthly average OPIS unbranded contract rack posting for that Product during the Month in which the volume difference was accounted for. All such sales shall be “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, without any warranty, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness or title, all of which are expressly excluded. If volume losses of any Product exceed 0.25% during any particular Month, TLO shall pay Tesoro for the difference between the actual loss and the 0.25% allowance at a price per barrel for that Product as reported by OPIS using the monthly average OPIS unbranded contract rack posting for that Product during the Month in which the volume difference was accounted for. Deliveries on Saturday, Sunday or Federal holidays shall be excluded from the calculation for the applicable Month.

     (b) For all other Terminals, TLO shall have no obligation to measure volume gains and losses and shall have no liability whatsoever for physical losses, except if such losses are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of TLO, as further described in Section 27 herein.

9. REIMBURSEMENT

     (a) Tesoro shall reimburse TLO for: (i) the actual cost of any regulatory fees incurred by TLO based on Tesoro’s proportionate share of the actual volumes Tesoro throughputs based upon the percentage of Tesoro’s use of the services or facilities impacted by regulatory fees; (ii) the actual cost of any capital expenditures that TLO agrees to make upon Tesoro’s request to provide services hereunder, other than capital expenditures required for TLO to continue to provide those services specified hereunder; and (iii) the actual cost of any third-party fees, including port fees, incurred in connection with carrying out the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) If cleaning of any tanks is performed by TLO at the specific request of Tesoro, Tesoro shall bear (or reimburse TLO) for all costs to clean, degas or otherwise prepare the tank(s) including, without limitation, the cost of removal, processing, transportation, disposal, of all waste and the cost of any taxes or charges TLO may be required to pay in regard to such waste. For any tanks that are dedicated to Tesoro for segregated storage of Tesoro’s Products as set forth in Schedule A, Tesoro agrees to reimburse TLO for the reasonable cost of changes necessary to return the segregated storage tanks to TLO on termination of their dedication for segregated storage under this Agreement, in the same

condition as originally received less normal wear and tear. If Tesoro requests that any such dedicated tank be converted to storage of a different product, then Tesoro shall be responsible for reimbursing TLO for all costs of such conversion, including all costs to clean, degas or otherwise prepare the tank(s) including, without limitation, the cost of removal, processing, transportation, disposal, of all waste and the cost of any taxes or charges TLO may be required to pay in regard to such waste. Tesoro shall not be responsible to TLO for any throughput fees and dedicated tank storage fees associated with any dedicated storage tanks taken out of service during the period that such tank is out of service.

Such certificates shall be in the form of the “Accord” Certificate of Insurance, and reflect that they are for the benefit of TLO and shall provide that there will be no material change in or cancellation of the policies unless TLO is given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Certificates providing evidence of renewal of coverage shall be furnished to TLO prior to policy expiration.

     (d) Tesoro and/or Carrier shall be solely responsible for any deductibles or self-insured retention.

29. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

     (a) Product Certification. Each Party certifies that none of the Products covered by this Agreement were derived from crude petroleum, petrochemical, or gas which was produced or withdrawn from storage in violation of any federal, state or other governmental law, nor in violation of any rule, regulation or promulgated by any governmental agency having jurisdiction in the premises.

     (b) Applicable Law. The Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon and shall fully comply with all Applicable Law which directly or indirectly affects the Products throughput hereunder, or any receipt, throughput delivery, transportation, handling or storage of Products hereunder or the ownership, operation or condition of each Terminal. Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the operation of such Party’s facilities. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.

     (c) New Or Changed Applicable Law: If during the Term, any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretations is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement and which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party, either Party, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.

30. SUSPENSION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS

     (a) In the event that Tesoro decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at any of Tesoro’s Refineries for a period that shall continue for at least twelve (12) consecutive Months, Tesoro may provide written notice to TLO of Tesoro’s intent to terminate that part of this Agreement relating to the applicable associated Terminal (the “Suspension Notice”). Such Suspension Notice shall be sent at any time after Tesoro has publicly announced such suspension and, upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-Month period following the date such notice is sent (the “Notice Period”), that part of this Agreement relating to such Terminal shall terminate. If Tesoro publicly announces, more than two Months prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, its intent to resume operations at the applicable Refinery, then the Suspension Notice shall be deemed revoked and the

applicable portion of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such Suspension Notice had never been delivered.

     (b) During the Notice Period, for any Month during which Tesoro does not throughput any volumes of Products at an affected Terminal, Tesoro shall be permitted to reduce its Minimum Throughput Commitment by an amount equal to the Stipulated Volume for such affected Terminal(s), provided that Tesoro pays TLO a fee for such Month (a “Curtailment Fee”). Curtailment Fees for each applicable Month shall be equal to (i) such Terminal’s Stipulated Volume multiplied by (ii) the number of days in the Month, multiplied by (iii) the weighted average monthly Terminalling Service Fee incurred by Tesoro at such Terminal during the twelve (12) calendar Months immediately preceding the Refinery’s suspension of operations. For the purposes of calculating Shortfall Payments during any Month in which Tesoro pays TLO a Curtailment Fee, volume shortfalls shall be determined by deducting volumes throughput at the Terminals by TRMC during such Month from the Adjusted Minimum Throughput Commitment.

     (c) Upon the expiration of the Notice Period, Tesoro shall no longer owe TLO any future Curtailment Fees and shall have no throughput obligation with respect to the affected Terminal, and Tesoro’s Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be adjusted to the Adjusted Minimum Volume Commitment for the remaining unaffected Terminals, by deducting the applicable Stipulated Volume for the Terminal removed from this Agreement under this Section 30. If refining operations at any of the Refineries are suspended for any reason (including Refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance), then Tesoro shall remain liable for Shortfall Payments under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension, unless and until this Agreement is terminated as provided above. Schedule D attached hereto includes a list of the Terminals associated with each of the Refineries.

31. FORCE MAJEURE

     (a) As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, TLO shall provide Tesoro with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “Force Majeure Notice”). TLO shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that TLO reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). If TLO advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then, subject to Section 32 below, at any time after TLO delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate that portion of this Agreement relating to the affected Terminal(s), but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “Termination Notice”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve (12)-Month period. If this Agreement is terminated as to a Terminal under this Section 31, then Tesoro’s Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be adjusted to the Adjusted Minimum Volume Commitment for the remaining unaffected Terminals, by deducting the applicable Stipulated Volume for the Terminal so removed from this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tesoro elects to finance a Restoration pursuant to Section 32 below, neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 31(a).

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tesoro delivers a Termination Notice to TLO (the “Tesoro Termination Notice”) and, within thirty (30) days after receiving such Tesoro Termination Notice, TLO notifies Tesoro that TLO reasonably believes in good faith that it shall be capable of fully performing its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable period of time, then the Tesoro Termination Notice shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portion of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such Tesoro Termination Notice had never been given.

     (c) If either Party terminates a portion of this Agreement related to one or more specific Terminals, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be reduced by the Stipulated Volume for the applicable Terminal(s).

32. CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

     (a) Interruptions of Service. TLO shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service at each Terminal and any portion thereof. TLO shall promptly inform Tesoro operational personnel of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service at any Terminal, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions TLO is taking to resume full operations, provided that TLO shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, Tesoro of any such matters except to the extent Tesoro has been materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay.

     (b) Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TLO shall maintain each Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of Tesoro’s Products at least equal to the respective Stipulated Volume for such Terminal. TLO’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or other interruption of service that prevents TLO from terminalling the Minimum Throughput Commitment hereunder. To the extent TLO is prevented from terminalling volumes equal to the full Minimum Throughput Commitment for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service, then Tesoro’s obligation to throughput the Minimum Throughput Commitment and pay any Shortfall Payment shall be reduced proportionately in an amount not to exceed the Stipulated Volume for the affected Terminal. At such time as TLO is capable of terminalling volumes equal to the Minimum Throughput Commitment, Tesoro’s obligation to throughput the full Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput or storage capacity of any Terminal should fall below the capacity required for throughput of the Stipulated Volume for that Terminal, then within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such reduction, TLO shall make repairs to the Terminal to restore the capacity of such Terminal to that required for throughput of the Stipulated Volume (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 32(c), all of such Restoration shall be at TLO’s cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tesoro, its employees, agents or customers.

     (c) Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of TLO to maintain any Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of Tesoro’s Products equal to the respective Stipulated Volume for such Terminal, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration of capacity on the Terminal which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by TLO or, if agreed, by Tesoro, to fully accomplish Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “Capacity Resolution”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration TLO’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and Tesoro’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of Tesoro’s Products at the affected Terminal, to the extent the Terminal has capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that Tesoro’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the Terminal in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Tesoro may require TLO to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to Tesoro’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan in which Tesoro agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 31 above, so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence, and Tesoro shall pay its portion of the Restoration costs to TLO in advance based on an estimate based on reasonable engineering standards

promulgated by the Association for Facilities Engineering. Upon completion, Tesoro shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by Tesoro pursuant to this Section 32(c) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of TLO’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, TLO shall pay Tesoro the excess of the estimate paid by Tesoro over TLO’s actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

     (d) Tesoro’s Right To Cure. As Tesoro’s sole remedy for any breach by TLO of any of its obligations under Section 32(c), if at any time, TLO (i) refuses or fails to meet with Tesoro within the period set forth in Section 32(c), (ii) TLO fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 32(c), or (iii) TLO fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, Tesoro may, subject to and to the extent permitted under the terms, conditions and/or restrictions of applicable leases, permits and/or Applicable Law, proceed with completing the Restoration of the affected Terminal. Tesoro shall have access rights under TLO’s rights-of-way that are required by Tesoro to complete the Restoration of the affected Terminal and any other rights of TLO reasonably required by Tesoro to complete such Restoration; provided, however, that Tesoro shall abide by all terms and conditions of TLO’s leases and with Applicable Law in performing such work and shall indemnify TLO for liabilities resulting from the Restoration performed by Tesoro. In such event, Tesoro may recover its actual costs relating to the Restoration less any costs that Tesoro would have been required to pay to TLO under Section 32(c), by offsetting such amount against Tesoro’s future obligations to make payments for the Terminalling Service Fee for such Terminal, including, without limitation, the Minimum Throughput Commitment attributable to the Stipulated Volume for such Terminal, provided however, Tesoro shall not be entitled to recover under this Section 32(d) any costs of Restoration to the extent that the damage requiring such Restoration is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tesoro or its affiliates, or their employees or agents. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of Tesoro’s Products at the affected Terminal, during the period while Tesoro is deducting such costs from the amounts owed hereunder, and TLO shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Terminal under Section 31 above for a Force Majeure for which Restoration was funded or performed by Tesoro. Any work performed by Tesoro pursuant to this Section 32(d) shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and/or regulations.

     (e) Commingled Storage. Unless otherwise specified in Schedule A, all storage and throughput of Tesoro’s volumes shall be on a fungible commingled basis, and TLO may commingle such Products with Products of like grade and kind. All tank heels shall be allocated among all storage users on a pro rata basis. TLO shall have the right to enter into arrangements with third parties to throughput and store volumes of Products at each Terminal, provided however, that TLO shall not enter into any third party arrangements that would restrict or limit the ability of Tesoro to throughput the Stipulated Volume at each Terminal each Month without proration or allocation, on reasonable schedules consistent with Tesoro’s requirements, and to receive the Ancillary Services provided herein.

     (f) Dedicated Storage. In the event that the Parties determine to use dedicated storage tanks during the Term of this Agreement, such storage tanks and capacities identified on Schedule A shall be dedicated and used exclusively for the storage and throughput of Tesoro’s Product. For those dedicated tanks, Tesoro shall be responsible for providing all tank heels required for operation of such tanks. Tesoro shall pay the fees specified on Schedule A for the dedication of such tanks.

     (g) First Refusal. In the event that TLO desires to enter into a third-party dedicated storage arrangement (a “Storage Contract”) for any storage tank subject to this Agreement and existing on the Commencement Date (a “Subject Tank”), TLO shall provide Tesoro with (i) written notice of its intent to enter into a Storage Contract and the general terms of such transaction and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon Tesoro’s receipt of such written notice) (the “Offer Period”) in which Tesoro may make a good faith offer to enter into a Storage Contract with TLO with respect to such Subject Tank (the “Right of First Refusal”). If Tesoro makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer

for a Storage Contract with respect to such Subject Tank during the Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a Storage Contract with Tesoro. If Tesoro does not exercise its Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party Storage Contract. If no third-party Storage Contract is consummated during such ninety-day period, then the terms and conditions of this Section 32(g) shall again become effective with respect to such Storage Tank.

33. TERMINATION

     (a) Termination for Default.

          A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

     (i) the Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party;

     (ii) the Party (A) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (B) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets; or

     (iii) If any of the Parties is in default as described above, then (i) if Tesoro is in default, TLO may or (ii) if TLO is in default, Tesoro may: (1) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Parties; (2) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Parties under this Agreement; and/or (3) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

     (b) Tesoro shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove all of its Products including any downgraded and interface product from the Terminals within thirty (30) days of such termination or expiration. In the event all of the Product is not removed within such thirty (30) day period, Tesoro shall be assessed a storage fee to all Products held in storage more than thirty (30) days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until such time Tesoro’s entire Product is removed from the Terminals.

     (c) Tesoro shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove any and all of its owned equipment not purchased by TLO pursuant to Section 13 above, and restore the Terminals to their condition prior to the installation of such equipment.

34. RIGHT TO ENTER INTO A NEW TERMINALLING AGREEMENT

     (a) Upon termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) a default by Tesoro and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by Tesoro pursuant to Sections 30 or 31. Tesoro shall have the right to require TLO to enter into a new terminalling services agreement with Tesoro that (i) is fair and reasonable, (ii) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement, (iii) relates to the same Terminals that are the subject matter of this Agreement, and (iv) has commercial terms that are equal to or more favorable to TLO than any commercial terms offered to TLO by a third party; provided, however; that any such new terminalling services agreement shall not have the effect of extending the Term of this Agreement.

     (b) In the event that TLO proposes to enter into a terminalling services agreement with a third party upon the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) by default by Tesoro and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by Tesoro pursuant to Sections 30 or 31, TLO shall give Tesoro 90 days’ prior written notice of any proposed new terminalling services agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon Tesoro’s receipt of such written notice) (the “First Offer Period”) in which Tesoro may make a good faith offer to enter into a new terminalling agreement with TLO (the “Terminalling Right of First Refusal”). If Tesoro makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer with respect to such terminalling services agreement during the First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a terminalling services agreement with Tesoro on the terms set forth in subsection (a) above. If Tesoro does not exercise its Terminalling Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party terminalling services agreement. If no third party agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 34(b) shall again become effective.

     (b) TLO shall not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without Tesoro’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (i) TLO may assign this Agreement without Tesoro’s consent in connection with a sale by TLO of one or more of its Terminals so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of TLO’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the associated Terminal(s); (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by TLO in its reasonable judgment; and (C) is not a competitor of Tesoro; and (ii) TLO shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for TLO.

     (c) If either Tesoro or TLO assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement relating to a specific Terminal, then: (i) the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be converted to the Adjusted Minimum Volume Commitment for the Terminals remaining subject to this Agreement by reducing by the amount of the Stipulated Volume for such assigned Terminal, and both Tesoro’s and TLO’s obligations shall continue with respect to the remaining Terminals and the Adjusted Minimum Throughput Commitment; and (ii) the rights and obligations relating to the affected Terminal, and its Stipulated Volume, shall be novated into a new agreement with the assignee, and such assignee shall be responsible for the performance of the assigning Party’s obligations relating to the affected Terminal.

37. 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 37. 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 TLO that was in the possession of Tesoro or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the Terminals prior to the Commencement 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 37, 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 37(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.

     (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 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 37, 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 37 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

38. MISCELLANEOUS

     (a) Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be terminated, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement 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 breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

     (b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

     (c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. 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 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 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 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 will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement 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 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 PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

     (h) Schedules. Each of the Schedules attached hereto and referred to herein is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

[Remainder of this page intentionally left blank.]

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement on _________ ___, 2011, to be effective as of the Commencement Date.
