through ___________ ____, 2021 (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that (a) Tesoro
may, at its option, extend the Initial Term for up to two (2) renewal
terms of five (5) years each (each,
an “Extension Period”) by providing written notice of its intent to TLO no less than ninety
(90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period and (b) upon
the occurrence of a Partnership Change of Control, Tesoro shall have the option, by providing
written notice of its intent to TLO at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term
or the then-current Extension Period, as applicable, to extend the Term for a ten (10) year period,
beginning at the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period, as applicable. 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.

4

 

     (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

5

 

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

6

 

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.

     (c) All of the foregoing reimbursements shall be made in accordance with the payment terms set
forth in Section 7(a) herein.

10. CUSTODY TRANSFER AND TITLE

     (a) Pipeline

     (i) Receipts. For Product received into a Terminal by pipeline, custody of the
Product shall pass to TLO at the flange where it enters the Terminal’s receiving line. For

forth in this Agreement, TLO shall be liable for all loss, damage and cost incurred thereby.

12. MEASUREMENT

     All quantities of Products received or delivered by or into truck, rail, or marine vessel
shall be measured and determined based upon the meter readings at each Terminal, as reflected by
delivery tickets or bills of lading, or if such meters are unavailable, by applicable calibration
tables. All quantities of Products received and delivered by pipeline shall be measured and
determined based upon the meter readings of the pipeline operator, as reflected by delivery
tickets, or if such meters are unavailable, by applicable calibration tables. Deliveries to a
Terminal rack at Mandan, Salt Lake City or Wilmington from a Tesoro Refinery shall be deemed to be
the same as the corresponding volumes delivered contemporaneously from the Terminal rack.
Deliveries by book transfer shall be reflected by entries in the books of TLO. All quantities
shall be adjusted to net gallons at 60° F in accordance with ASTM D-1250 Petroleum Measurement
Tables, or latest revisions thereof. A barrel shall consist of 42 U.S. gallons and a gallon shall
contain 231 cubic inches. Meters and temperature probes shall be calibrated according to
applicable API standards. Tesoro shall have the right, at its sole expense, and in accordance with
rack location procedure, to independently certify said calibration. Storage tank gauging shall be
performed by TLO’s personnel. TLO’s gauging shall be deemed accurate unless challenged by an
independent certified gauger. Tesoro may perform joint gauging at its sole expense with TLO’s
personnel at the time of delivery or receipt of Product, to verify the amount involved. If Tesoro
should request an independent gauger, such gauger must be acceptable to TLO, and such gauging shall
be at Tesoro’s sole expense.

13. PRODUCT DOWNGRADE AND INTERFACE

     Product downgraded as a result of ordinary Terminal or pipeline operations including line
flushing, rack meter provings or other necessary Terminals operations shall not constitute losses
for which TLO is liable to Tesoro. TLO shall account for the volume of Product downgraded, and
Tesoro’s inventory of Products and/or interface shall be adjusted, provided that, in some cases
interface volume (“Transmix”) received shall be ratably shared between Tesoro and other
customers receiving Products in the same shipment or stored in commingled storage. Tesoro shall
remove its Transmix upon notice from TLO and shall be subject to applicable throughput fees upon
its removal. If Transmix is not removed

8

 

within fifteen (15) days after notification, TLO shall have the right to sell such Transmix at
market rates and return any proceeds to Tesoro, less applicable throughput fees and delivery costs
in effect at the time of such sale.

14. PRODUCT DELIVERIES, RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWALS

     (a) All supervised deliveries, receipts and withdrawals hereunder shall be made within the
normal business hours of each Terminal and at such times as may be required by Tesoro upon prior

this Agreement; provided, however; that Tesoro shall not have any responsibility or liability
hereunder in the event that the load authorization system provided hereunder fails or malfunctions
in any way unless a credit department override is provided, which authorizes Tesoro to load the
Products.

     (c) Both Parties shall abide by all federal, state and local statutes, laws and ordinances and
all rules and regulations which are promulgated by TLO and which are either furnished to Tesoro or
posted at the Terminals, with respect to the use of the Terminals as herein provided. It is
understood and agreed by Tesoro that these rules and regulations may be changed, amended or
modified by TLO at any time. All changes, amendments and modifications shall become binding upon
Tesoro ten (10) days following the posting of a copy at the affected Terminals or the receipt by
Tesoro of a copy, whichever occurs sooner.

     (d) For all purposes hereunder, Tesoro’s jobbers, distributors, Carriers, haulers and other
customers designated in writing or otherwise by Tesoro to have loading privileges under this
Agreement or having possession of any loading device furnished to Tesoro pursuant to this

maintain and operate such Additive Facilities in accordance with customary industry standards
during the term of this Agreement, including all required reporting and record keeping prescribed
by Applicable Law.

     (b) During the term of this Agreement, TLO shall arrange for purchase and delivery of any and
all required lubricity and conductivity additive for injection through the Additive Facilities at
the Terminals.

     (c) During the term of this Agreement, TLO shall inject into all Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
delivered to Tesoro at the Terminals an amount of lubricity and conductivity additive that it
determines to be sufficient to comply with current ASTM diesel lubricity and conductivity
specifications. TLO shall, upon request, provide Tesoro with documentation of additive
specifications and additive injection, which TLO shall keep on file at each Terminal.

     (d) Tesoro shall pay TLO a lubricity and conductivity additive injection fee, as set forth in
Schedule B, for all lubricity and conductivity additive and injection services provided
hereunder for each barrel of Low Sulfur Diesel/Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel delivered to trucks for
Tesoro’s account. Said injection charge is in addition to any existing Terminals charges.

18. DCA ADDITIVE INJECTION

     (a) All gasoline Product leaving the Terminals shall be additized (“Additized
Gasoline”). As an exception, TLO shall accommodate a request from Tesoro to lift base gasoline
from the Terminals. In that case, the bill of lading issued by TLO shall label all such Product as
base gasoline (“Base Gasoline”). TLO shall provide a generic Deposit Control Additive
(“DCA”) injection service, including all required reporting and record keeping prescribed
by Applicable Law. The additive supplied shall be a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(“EPA”) certified DCA. Subject to the other provisions hereof, Tesoro may request TLO to
instead inject a different proprietary DCA into certain gasoline delivered hereunder, instead of
the generic DCA provided by TLO, and TLO shall accommodate such requests, subject to Tesoro
providing a suitable  Additized Gasoline system for such proprietary additive. TLO shall ensure that
such additive is injected into all appropriate gasoline Product delivered to Tesoro at a rate no
lower than the Lowest Allowable Concentration (“LAC”) at which such additive was
certified. The gasoline additization rate shall be determined by Tesoro, but shall not be less
than 1.1 times the LAC specified by the respective additive manufacturer or supplier. TLO shall
accommodate Tesoro’s requests for higher additive injection rates in accordance with the fees in
Schedule B of this Agreement. Tesoro shall submit all such requests in writing to TLO.

10

 

     (b) Notwithstanding the above, Tesoro shall be solely responsible for registering with the EPA
or any other government agency its use of generic or proprietary additive in its fuels, as required
by Applicable Law. Tesoro shall submit to each applicable Terminal evidence of registration in
compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 80. Tesoro shall also be responsible for full compliance with any
quarterly or other regulatory reporting, and any other requirements under Applicable Law, rule or
regulation related to use of generic or proprietary additive in Tesoro’s Product.

     (c) Tesoro shall pay TLO a DCA injection fee, as set forth in Schedule B, for all
lubricity and conductivity additive and injection services provided hereunder for each barrel of
Low Sulfur Diesel/Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel delivered to trucks for the account of Tesoro. Said
injection charge is in addition to any existing Terminals charges.

19. RED DYE INJECTION

     (a) TLO shall provide a generic red dye additive (“Red Dye”) injection service for
diesel, including all required reporting and recordkeeping prescribed by Applicable Law. TLO shall
be responsible for determining the injection rates, Red Dye inventory levels, meter readings, and
calculations of actual treat rates, in compliance with the minimum levels prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service.

     (b) Tesoro is responsible for designating which of its accounts shall be authorized to use Red
Dye diesel injection services. TLO equipment shall enable designated Carriers and accounts to
inject Red Dye upon request prior to loading diesel Product at Terminals. Tesoro’s Carrier shall
be solely responsible for designating that a load of diesel Product be injected with Red Dye, and
TLO shall have no liability with regard to whether a load of Product is additized with Red Dye. TLO
shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or liability that arises from Carrier injecting or
failing to inject Red Dye into Tesoro’s Product.

20. SPECIAL ADDITIVE EQUIPMENT

     At the request of Tesoro, and subject to the other provisions set forth herein and the
availability of suitable space in a Terminal, TLO shall install and maintain at the Terminals, at
Tesoro’s sole risk, cost and expense, such special additive equipment as may be desirable for
Products to be delivered to Tesoro’s account hereunder. The engineering and installation of any
fixture, equipment or appurtenance placed on the Terminals in respect thereof shall be subject to
TLO’s prior approval and supervision. During the Term of this Agreement, TLO shall operate the
special additive equipment, and TLO shall be paid a fee for such operation in accordance with the
terms in respect of additive handling fees specified in Schedule B attached hereto. The
location, ownership, installation, and maintenance of such special additive equipment shall be as
specified in writing by Tesoro.

     (a) Any such gasoline additive system shall include one above ground storage tank (and any
necessary modifications thereto), one additive injection pump, any and all necessary piping and
injectors. For the avoidance of doubt, the above ground storage tank shall be supplied by Tesoro.

     (b) Subject to
the supervision of TLO, TLO or its designee shall install the additive system.
Tesoro shall be responsible for 100% of all costs of the Additized
Gasoline system, including
without limitation, costs associated with any required piping, nozzles, fittings, equipment,
injection panels, labor and/or installation thereof, and if any existing load rack equipment will
not support such additional additive system, then Tesoro shall bear all costs of enlarging or
renovating such load rack to support the additional additive system requested by Tesoro. Tesoro
shall reimburse TLO for all such costs within ten days after receipt of an invoice from TLO for
such costs. Upon completion of the installation of the Additized
Gasoline system, the Additized
Gasoline system shall become the property of TLO, free and clear of any security interest or lien.

or strict liability; provided that the

13

 

foregoing limitation is not intended and shall not affect special damages imposed in favor of
unaffiliated Persons that are not Parties to this Agreement.

27. INDEMNITIES

     (a) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, TLO shall release, defend,
protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Tesoro from and against any and all demands, claims
(including third-party claims), losses, costs, suits, or causes of action (including, but not
limited to, any judgments, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, expenses, interest, reasonable
legal fees, costs of suit, and damages, whether in law or equity and whether in contract, tort, or

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

16

 

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).

17

 

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

18

 

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

19

 

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.

20

 

     (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.

35. ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL

     (a) Tesoro shall not assign all of its obligations hereunder without TLO’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however; that Tesoro may assign this Agreement, without TLO’s consent, in
connection with a sale by Tesoro of a Refinery associated with one of TLO’s Terminals so long as
the transferee: (i) agrees to assume all of Tesoro’s obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the associated Terminal(s); and (ii) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the
terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by Tesoro in its reasonable judgment.

     (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.

     (d) Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above
shall be null and void ab initio. A Party making any assignment shall promptly notify the other
Party of such assignment, regardless of whether consent is required. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

     (e) Tesoro’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change
of Control, provided however, that in the case of a Partnership Change of Control, Tesoro shall
have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 3. TLO shall provide
Tesoro with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date thereof.

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

22

 

          (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.

23

 

     (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.
