NOMINATIONS AND PROVISION OF KEEP-WHOLE GAS 

3.1 By the twentieth (20th) calendar Day prior to the Month of production of applicable NGLs,
Processors shall provide notice to TRMC of the following: 
 (a) the estimated volumes of NGLs that Processors will have available for
transfer to TRMC hereunder at each of the Plants as of the Month of production; 
 (b) the estimated number of MMBTUs of Keep-Whole Gas
required to be delivered to the Producer as a result of extracting such volume of NGLs at each Plant; and 
 (c) the estimated volumes and
prices per MMBTU of Keep-Whole Gas that Processors have determined that Producers may make available to TRMC at the tailgate outlet of each Plant during such Month. In such regard, Processors, as representatives of TRMC, shall contact Producers who
may have volumes of residue gas available at the outlets of the Plants, to determine the applicable volumes and prices at such locations. 

  
 6 

 3.2 Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Processors’ notice pursuant to
Section 3.1, TRMC shall notify the Producers identified by Processors’ notice whether or not TRMC shall purchase Keep-Whole Gas in accordance with the terms provided pursuant to Section 3.1(c). 

(a) If TRMC elects to purchase the Keep-Whole Gas identified pursuant to Section 3.1(c), TRMC shall purchase such volumes from the
respective Producers, deliver such volumes to Processors at the places where Processors are required to make delivery of such Keep-Whole Gas under the Keep-Whole Contracts (each a “Settlement Point”), and Processors shall
deliver such Keep-Whole Gas to the Producers in accordance with the terms of the Keep-Whole Contracts. TRMC will pay the Producers for the Keep-Whole gas pursuant to the terms of the agreements entered into between TRMC and such Producers. 

(b) If TRMC elects not to purchase the entire volume of Keep-Whole Gas by arrangements structured pursuant to Section 3.1(c), TRMC
shall nevertheless have the obligation to purchase and supply Keep-Whole Gas to Processors, in-kind, at the Settlement Points, such that Processors can deliver the Keep-Whole Gas to the applicable Producers. 

(c) If during any periods, the volumes of Keep-Whole Gas delivered by Producers into Processors’ gathering systems for redelivery by TRMC
at the respective Settlement Points pursuant to this Section 3.2 are greater than the actual volumes of Keep-Whole Gas required to be delivered by TRMC in exchange for NGLs, as provided hereunder, then TRMC shall own the imbalance
inventory in Processors’ facilities, until such time as the imbalance is resolved through future deliveries. TRMC shall not be required to pay Processors any charges or fees for such imbalances, other than those stated in Purchase Orders
executed pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3.3 In the event a Producer notifies a Processor that the Producer desires to receive the Keep-Whole Gas owed to
them pursuant to the Keep-Whole Processing Contracts as part of a financial settlement rather than in-kind, the applicable Processor will promptly notify TRMC of such desire and the proposed terms of the financial settlement. TRMC shall have five
(5) Business Days from the receipt of notice from the Processor regarding a Producer’s desire to effect a financial settlement in which to consent to the terms of the proposed financial settlement. If TRMC shall not have consented to the
financial settlement within such five (5) Business Day period, TRMC shall be deemed to have rejected the terms of the financial settlement. 

(a) If TRMC consents to such terms, the applicable Processor and TRMC will use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect the financial
settlement with the applicable Producer. In such event, TRMC shall pay Processor the amount that Processor is required to pay the Producer in the financial settlement under the Keep-Whole Processing Contract and Processors shall pay that amount to
the Producer, pursuant the terms of the Keep-Whole Processing Contract, and the volumes of Keep-Whole Gas that TRMC is required to deliver at the applicable Settlement Point(s) wereunder shall be reduced as provided in such financial settlement.

 (b) If TRMC fails to consent to such terms, TRMC shall provide the Keep-Whole Gas to the Producer in accordance with
Section 3.2, and Processor shall remain solely responsible for performance under the terms of its Keep-Whole Processing Contract with the Producers. 

  
 7 

 3.4 By the twenty-fifth (25th) calendar Day prior to
the Month of production of applicable NGLs, or two (2) Business Days prior to required nomination on MAPL, TRMC shall provide notice to Processors of the volumes TRMC anticipates it will deliver via the MAPL Pipeline System and the volumes it
anticipates will require fractionation, truck or rail services at the Blacks Fork Processing Complex. TRMC shall nominate the volumes and destination requiring pipeline transportation in accordance with the terms of the NGL Transportation Contract.

 3.5 If during any Month, the nominated volumes pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.4 change, then TRMC and Processors shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to revise the nominated volumes of required to be delivered during such Month.

4.2 In the event any NGLs provided by Processors hereunder are rejected because they do not meet the specifications set forth in Section 4.1 at
the points of delivery by Processors, TRMC shall promptly notify the applicable Processor of such rejection. The applicable Processor shall be given reasonable opportunity to dispute such rejection. If after such opportunity to dispute, the
rejection of the applicable NGLs is upheld, in addition to the rights provided in Article 10, TRMC shall be entitled to recover incidental damages related to the rejection, including expenses reasonably incurred in the receipt,
transportation, care and custody of the NGLs, any commercially reasonable charges, expenses or commissions in connection with effecting cover. 
 4.3 The

 Article 11 

FORCE MAJEURE 
 11.1 Suspension of
Obligations. If either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligations to make payments, if any, then on that Party’s giving the other
Party notice, which shall include reasonably full particulars of the Force Majeure, orally as soon as practicable and followed in writing or by electronic transmission within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the Force Majeure relied on (but
in any event not later than five (5) Days after the occurrence of the Force Majeure), the obligations of each Party (other than the obligations to make payments of money due under this Agreement), so far as such Party’s obligations are
affected by the Force Majeure, will be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period. 

  
 15 

 11.2 Force Majeure. The term “Force Majeure” as used in this Agreement,

and agree that the settlement of strikes or lockouts will be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that such Party will not be obligated to settle strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of opposing parties
when that course is inadvisable or inappropriate in the discretion of the Party experiencing such strikes or lockouts. 
 Article 12

 TERMINATION 
 12.1
Default. A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if: 
 (a) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a
Purchase Order, which breach has a Material Adverse Effect on the other Party (with such Material Adverse Effect being determined based on this Agreement and all Purchase Orders considered as a whole), and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure
or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen
(15) Business Day period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice); or 

(b) 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. 

12.2 Rights upon Default. If either of the Parties is in default as described above, then (A) if TRMC is in default, the Processors may or

law or in equity. 

  
 16 

 12.3 Obligation to Cure Breach. If a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a Purchase
Order, which breach does not have a Material Adverse Effect on the other Party, the breaching Party shall still have the obligation to cure such breach and any liabilities arising therefrom. 

Article 13 
 CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION 
 13.1 Obligations. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Party’s 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 Article 13. 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: 

(a) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party; 

(b) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party; 

(c) 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 
 (d) is
independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. 
 13.2 Required
Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 13.1 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. 
 13.3 Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Article 13 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

 14.4 Construction and

Party.

(e) The words “includes” and “including” are not limiting. 

(f) References to the Parties include their respective successors and permitted assignees. 

(g) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or
the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement. 
 14.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of such
Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Party, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

14.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of

14.8 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. 
 14.9 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. 

14.10 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

 NORTHERN
TIER 2015 PERFORMANCE BONUS PROGRAM 
 I. Introduction and Purpose 

The purpose of the 2015 Performance Bonus Program (the “Program”) is to encourage Northern Tier Energy LP (the “Partnership”) along with
the employees of Northern Tier Energy LLC (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, including St. Paul Park Refining Co. LLC (“SPPRC”), Northern Tier Retail LLC (“Retail”), Northern Tier Bakery LLC (“Bakery”) and
Northern Tier Oil Transport LLC (“NTOT”) (collectively, the “Northern Tier Entities”) to achieve their business objectives, to enable the Northern Tier Entities to attract and retain key employees and to assist the Partnership in
achieving its mission of becoming, 
 “A Top Tier Refining, Retail and Logistics Partnership, 

measured by Safe and Reliable Operations, Financial Performance 

and Profitable Growth, resulting in Increasing Value to Unitholders.” 

Please note, this Program is only a guideline; payouts are not guaranteed, and are subject to the sole discretion of the Board, the Committee and the
Company, as applicable. 
 II. Administration and Eligibility 

 

	1.	Administration. The Program shall be administered by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee may delegate administration of the Program to the President and Chief Executive Officer for all
Participants except Executive Officers. Payouts under the Program to Executive Officers must be approved by the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee. 

  

	2.	Participants. “Participant” under the Program shall mean and include any regular, salaried full-time and part-time employee who, at the time of payment under the Program is an employee in good standing
of any of the Company, SPPRC, Retail or NTOT designated as “Corporate” (Company),“Refinery” and “Terminal” (SPPRC), “SuperAmerica” (Retail), and “Northern Tier Oil Transport” (NTOT). Participants
must be actively employed on the date that the bonus is paid in order to receive their bonus. Participants must also be in a position that is covered under this Program at the time of payment. For example, a Corporate employee who transfers
positions to a retail hourly position during the year will no longer be eligible to participate in the Program. A terminated employee cannot use vacation time after the last day worked as a bridge to the Payment Date; a Participant will cease to
participate in the Program effective on their date of termination regardless of the reason for such termination, except to the extent set forth herein under “Death or Disability” or “Retirees.” Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the following shall not be Participants under the Program: 

  

	 	a.	All hourly employees; 

  

	 	b.	Retail employees who work in the SuperAmerica retail stores;

either new hires or have not been eligible to be a Participant for at least the six consecutive months preceding the end of the Performance Period (e.g. employees promoted from non-eligible positions to eligible positions during the Performance
Period) (collectively, “Partial Participants), possible Actual Payout for such Partial Participants shall be as follows: 

  

			
	 Participants’ Period of Eligibility

 III. Program 

A. Target, EBITDA Threshold and Actual Payout 
  

	1.	Target Payout. Each Participant will be assigned a “Target” payout by his or her employer, based on such Participant’s grade. This Target payout shall be a fixed percentage of the
Participant’s Eligible Compensation. Participants in grades 43 to 46 may generally earn 0% to 200% of Target. Participants in all other grades may generally earn 0% to 150% of Target. 

 

	2.	Threshold EBITDA. No Actual Payout shall be made to any Participant unless and until Threshold EBITDA is achieved. To achieve Threshold EBITDA, the Partnership’s actual adjusted EBITDA for the Performance
Period must equal or exceed Cash Interest Expense + actual Capital Expenditures + Scheduled Principal Payments + Maintenance Turnaround Expenses + Cash Taxes for the Performance Period, in each case as reported in the Partnership’s consolidated
financial statements (including but not limited to as reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations therein) filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q and/or Form 10-K and for the Scheduled Principal
Payments, as set forth therein and in the applicable debt instrument, or no Actual Payout will occur for the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Committee and the Board may, in its or their sole
discretion, waive the application of Threshold EBITDA, or any criterion thereof, to any individual Participant or group of Participants. 

  

	3.	Actual Payout. Assuming Threshold EBITDA is achieved or waived as set forth above, Actual Payout to any Participant under the Program will generally depend upon Individual Performance and/or Entity Performance
(collectively, “Performance Metrics”), in proportions based on such Participant’s grade, as follows: 

  

													
	 Grade

 B. Performance Metrics 

 

	1.	Individual Performance. This criteria measures the performance of the individual Participant, including but not limited to factors such as individual safety performance, ability of the Participant to achieve his
or her goals, attitude, work product and cooperation with colleagues, among other factors. The percentage of Individual Performance achieved by each Participant shall be in the sole discretion of the Participant’s supervisor, the applicable
business unit leader and/or any Executive Officer. 

  

	2.	Entity Performance. 

  

	 	a.	Operational Performance Definitions. Operational Performance measures safety, process safety and environmental performance over the Performance Period for Company, using the following criteria: 

 

	 	i.	Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”), defined as the entity-wide OSHA 300 recordable incident rate for all employees; 

  

	 	ii.	Process Safety Incident Rate (“PSIR”), defined as severity-adjusted annual process safety incident rate under API 754, reflecting Tier 1 incidents only, normalized to 200,000 man hours; and 

 

	 	iii.	Recordable Quantity Events (“RQs”), defined as the number of releases or spills to soil, river, or air above reportable quantities, permit exceedances and regulatory agency enforcement action.

  

	 	b.	Calculation of Operational Metrics. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Company will calculate TRIR, PSIR and RQ for the Performance Period. TRIR, PSIR and RQ shall have a weighting of 33.4%, 33.3%
and 33.3% of the applicable Operational Metrics criteria, respectively. 

  

	 	i.	If any of TRIR, PSIR and RQ for the Performance Period is equal to or below 0.5, 0.2 and 20, respectively, the maximum percentage for such criterion will be applied. 

 

	 	ii.	If any of TRIR, PSIR and RQ for the Performance Period is greater than 0.5, 0.2 and 20, respectively, such criterion will be compared to the Prior Period and the percentage for such criterion will be applied based on
the following:

	Decrease less than 5%	 		 	Linear Interpolation between Threshold and Target
	5% Decrease	 		 	Target
	Decrease more than 5% but less than 10%	 		 	Linear Interpolation between Target and Maximum
	Decrease 10% or more	 		 	Maximum

  

	 	c.	Financial Performance Definitions. Financial Performance measures performance over the Performance Period for the Partnership using the following criteria, in each case, as reported in the Partnership’s
filings with the SEC: 

  

	 	i.	“Operating Income” (“OI”), defined as the last twelve months (“LTM”) of total revenues less the total of (a) cost of goods sold (COGS) and (b) operating expenses (including direct
operating expenses, turnaround and related expenses, depreciation & amortization, SG&A and other net operating expenses), divided by total revenue; 

  

	 	ii.	“Return on Capital Employed” (“ROCE”), defined as LTM earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) divided by Average Capital Employed for the period of EBIT being used (Average Capital
Employed equals the total assets less current liabilities average as of the beginning and end of the Performance Period); and 

  

	 	iii.	“Return on Assets” (“ROA”), defined as LTM EBIT divided by average Total Assets excluding goodwill and intangible assets. 

 

	 	d.	Calculation of Financial Metrics. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Company will calculate OI, ROCE and ROA for the Performance Period for both the Partnership and each of the Performance Peers,
using publicly available data as filed with the SEC. OI, ROCE and ROA shall have a waiting of 33.4%, 33.3% and 33.3% of the applicable Operational Metrics criteria, respectively. For each of OI, ROCE and ROA, the percentage for such criterion will
be applied based on the following: 

  

			
	 NTI v. Performance Peer Group
	  	 Performance Plan Payout*

	Less than 25th Percentile	  	0%
	25th Percentile	  	50% of Target (Threshold)
	Median (50th Percentile)	  	100% of Target
	Equal to or Greater than 75th Percentile	  	Maximum

  

	*	Linear interpolation between Threshold and Target and Threshold and Maximum 

  

	3.	Discretion. The Board, the Committee and/or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, may modify the Performance Metrics and/or any Actual Payout to any Participant or group of Participants, in its or their
sole discretion, at any time, and without consultation, consent or prior notice to any Participants.

 IV. Other Terms 

 

	1.	Death or Disability. In the event of a Participant’s death or permanent disability prior to receiving an award but after termination of the Performance Period, any Actual Payout determined in accordance
herewith shall be paid to the Participant or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary (or to Participant’s estate in the event the Participant dies without previously having designated a beneficiary in writing to the Company).

binding. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Northern Tier Entities, the Company’s legal counsel,

and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

bargaining agreement, a Participant’s employment continues to be “at will” and may be terminated at any time by the Company, as applicable, with or without cause, or by the Participant, notwithstanding that a Participant’s award
under the Program may thereby be reduced or eliminated. 

  

	6.	Modifications to and Revocation of the Program. The Committee has the authority to modify or revoke the Program, in its sole discretion, at any time, and without consultation, consent or prior notice to
