TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PHANTOM UNITS

1.Grant.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, an award of Phantom Units as set forth in the Grant Notice above, subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Plan.
2.Phantom Units.  Subject to Section 4 below, each Phantom Unit that vests shall represent the right to receive payment, in accordance with Section 5 below, in the form of one Unit.  Unless and until a Phantom Unit vests, the Participant will have no right to payment in respect of any such Phantom Unit.  Prior to actual payment in respect of any vested Phantom Unit, such Phantom Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Partnership, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Partnership.
3.Grant of Tandem DER. Each Phantom Unit granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem with a corresponding DER, which DER shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date until the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the Phantom Unit to which it corresponds.  Each vested DER shall entitle the Participant to receive payments, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, in an amount equal to any distributions made by the Partnership in respect of the Units underlying the Phantom Units to which such DER relates.  Upon the vesting of a Phantom Unit, the DER with respect to such vested Phantom Unit shall also become vested.  Similarly, upon the forfeiture of a Phantom Unit, the DER with respect to such forfeited Phantom Unit shall also be forfeited.  DERs shall not entitle the Participant to any payments relating to distributions occurring after the earlier to occur of the applicable Phantom Unit payment date or the forfeiture of the Phantom Unit underlying such DER.   The DERs and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the Phantom Units and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A). 
4.Vesting and Termination.  
(a)    Vesting.  Subject to Sections 4(b), (c) and (d) below, all or a portion of the Phantom Units shall vest as of the last day of the Performance Period (as indicated in the Grant Notice above) as set forth in the following table (for purposes of the table below performance of the Partnership shall be measured using the average of three discrete one-year relative TURs compared to the average of three discrete one-year relative TURs for the Peer Group over the Performance Period:

Vesting between 30th percentile and 50th percentile performance, between 50th percentile performance and 75th percentile performance and between 75th percentile performance and 90th percentile performance will be determined by straight-line interpolation. 
(b)    Partial Accelerated Vesting in Certain Circumstances.  Subject to Section 4(d)(i) below, a pro-rated portion (based on the number of full months worked within the Performance Period divided by 36) of the Target Number of Phantom Units (as indicated in the Grant Notice above) shall vest upon the occurrence of any of the following events: a termination of the Participant’s Service prior to the last day of the Performance Period by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability.  
(c)    Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control, the Phantom Units shall either (i) be assumed or continued by the acquiring or surviving entity or (ii) vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control with respect to the greater of 100% of the Target Number of Phantom Units (as indicated in the Grant Notice above) or the actual number of Phantom Units that would have been earned based on performance through the date of the Change in Control.  If the Phantom Units are assumed or continued pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Phantom Units shall be converted into a time-based award with respect to the greater of the Target Number of Phantom Units (as indicated in the Grant Notice above) or the actual number of Phantom Units that would have been earned based on performance through the date of the Change in Control, which  converted Phantom Units shall vest based upon the Participant’s continued Service through the last day of the Performance Period.
(d)    Forfeiture; Certain Terminations.  
(i)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 4(d)(ii) below, in the event of a termination of the Participant’s Service or the occurrence of a Change in Control, as applicable, all Phantom Units that have not vested prior to or in connection with such termination of Service or Change in Control (or are not converted pursuant to Section 4(c) above) shall thereupon automatically be forfeited by the Participant without further action and without payment of consideration therefor.  Subject to Section 4(d)(ii) below, no portion of the Phantom Units which has not become vested at the date of the Participant’s termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Phantom Units shall become vested pursuant to Section 4(c)

In the event of such a termination of Service, the number of Phantom Units that shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, if any, shall be equal to the number of Phantom Units that would have vested under Section 4(a) had the Participant remained in Service with the Company, the Partnership or one of their Affiliates through the last day of the Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months of service by the Participant during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of whole months in the Performance Period.    
(iii)     Notwithstanding Section 4(d)(i) above, in the event of a termination of the Participant’s Service within two years following a Change in Control (A) as a result of the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason or (B) by the Company, the Partnership or one of their Affiliates without Cause, the Phantom Units shall not be forfeited in connection with such termination of Service, but shall instead immediately vest upon such termination of Service.  
(iv)     Effective as of the last day of the Performance Period, any portion of the Phantom Units that does not become vested in accordance with Section 4(a), 4(c), 4(d)(ii) or 4(d)(iii) above shall automatically be forfeited by the Participant without further action and without payment of consideration therefor.
(v)    In addition to the forfeiture provisions described above, this Award and all other equity-based compensation awards granted to you by the Company or any affiliate or Tesoro Corporation, in each case, to the extent outstanding and unvested at the time of any such breach, shall be subject to immediate forfeiture and recoupment (in full) by the Company upon the Participant’s breach, in any respect, of any of the covenants set forth in Section 9 hereof.

(a)    Phantom Units.    Unpaid, vested Phantom Units shall be paid to the Participant in the form of Units in a lump-sum as soon as reasonably practical, but not later than 45 days, following the date on which such Phantom Units vest.  Payments of any Phantom Units that vest in accordance herewith shall be made to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s estate) in whole Units in accordance with this Section 5.

If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of the applicable 6-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amounts can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Participant’s death), such amounts shall be paid to the Participant.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company and/or its Affiliates shall withhold Units otherwise issuable in respect of such Phantom Units having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld.

 DC\1432231.6

Furthermore, the Company and its Affiliates may at any time dismiss the Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, this Agreement or other written agreement.
11.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
12.Amendments, Suspension and Termination.

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Agreement cannot be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement, in writing, signed by both the Partnership and the Participant.
13.Code Section 409A.  None of the Phantom Units, the DERs or any amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement are intended to constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code.  Nevertheless, to the extent that the Committee determines that the Phantom Units or DERs may not be exempt from (or compliant with) Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may (but shall not be required to) amend this Agreement in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption therefrom (including amendments with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as it deems necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Phantom Units or DERs from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Phantom Units or DERs, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit hereunder constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the 

    

 DC\1432231.6

Exhibit 10.1

Participant’s termination of Service, all references to the Participant’s termination of Service shall be construed to mean a Separation from Service, and the Participant shall not be considered to have a termination of Service unless such termination constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Participant.

Early Vesting
	•    A percentage of awards of phantom performance units will vest based on the target level of performance regardless of the TLLP’s performance relative to that of the performance peer group, and DERs accumulated on those units will be paid in the following events. Such percentage will be the number of full months worked in during the performance period divided the number of full months in the performance period.
o    The death or Disability of the employee

•    A percentage of awards of phantom performance units will be paid out based on TLLP’s actual performance relative to that of the performance peer group and DERs accumulated on those units will be paid in the following events.  (For an involuntary termination without Cause, an employee must work a minimum of 12 full months during the performance period to receive a payout).  Such percentage will be the number of full months worked in during the performance period divided the number of full months in the performance period.    
o    Retirement
o    Involuntary termination without Cause

•    In the event of a Change in Control of TLGP, the phantom performance units (and related DERs) will either be:

The converted awards (and related DERs) will vest based upon continued employment through December 31, 2018.  If the employee suffers an involuntary termination without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control of TLGP, any such converted awards (and related DERs) will immediately vest upon such termination.
