Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS Bank”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”), The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a member of MUFG, a global financial group (“MUFG”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”), WF Investment Holdings, LLC (“Wells Fargo Holdings”), SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust Bank”), SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (“STRH”), UBS AG, Stamford Branch (“UBS AG”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities” and, together with GS Bank, JPMorgan, Mizuho, MUFG, Wells Fargo Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, Wells Fargo Holdings, SunTrust Bank, STRH and UBS AG, collectively the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that Tesoro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower” or “you”), will acquire (the “Acquisition”) Western Refining, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”).  You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description and in the Term Sheets described below. This commitment letter, together with all Exhibits hereto, is referred to as this 

“Commitment Letter”.  As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letter dated November 16, 2016, among GS Bank, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (“GSLP”) and the Borrower (together with all Exhibits thereto, the “Original Commitment Letter”) shall be deemed amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in this Commitment Letter, and the agreements, terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter shall control in their entirety the agreements, terms and conditions set forth in the Original Commitment Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the date hereof, GSLP shall not have any commitment under either this Commitment Letter or the Original Commitment Letter. 
1.Commitment.  Based upon the foregoing, on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject only to the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit E of this Commitment Letter, (a) GS Bank hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 30%, JPMorgan hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, Mizuho hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, MUFG hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, Wells Fargo Holdings hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, SunTrust Bank hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 5% and UBS AG hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 5%, in each case, of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility upon the principal terms set forth in the 364-day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein (the “Bridge Facility Term Sheet”) and (b) if the requisite consent of the Existing Lenders (as defined below) for the Specified Amendment is not obtained under the Existing Credit Facility on or prior to the Closing Date, then GS Bank hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 30%, JPMorgan hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, Mizuho hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, MUFG hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, Wells Fargo Bank hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 15%, SunTrust Bank hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 5% and UBS AG hereby commits to provide to the Borrower 5%, in each case, of the Backstop Facility to replace the Existing Credit Facility upon the principal terms set forth in the Senior Secured Backstop Facility Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated by reference herein (the “Backstop Facility Term Sheet” and, together with the Transaction Description, the Summary of Existing Credit Facility Amendments attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Conditions Precedent to the Closing attached hereto as Exhibit E and the Bridge Facility Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”).  It is understood and agreed that any event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the initial funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date that would result in a mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction with respect to the Bridge Facility as set forth in the Bridge Facility Term Sheet under “Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions” shall reduce the amount of the Bridge Facility, and the aggregate amount of the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder in respect of the Bridge Facility (on a pro rata basis as between the Commitment Parties, based on the amount of their respective commitments under the Bridge Facility), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and you agree to give the Commitment Parties prompt written notice of the occurrence of any such event, together with a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of any such reduction.  It is understood and agreed that the commitments and other obligations of the Commitment Parties hereunder are several and not joint.  As used in this Commitment Letter, the term “Facilities” means the Bridge Facility, the Backstop Facility and the Incremental Revolving Facility, and the term “Committed Facilities” means the Bridge Facility and the Backstop Facility.

2.    Appointment of Roles. You hereby appoint (a) GS Bank, JPMorgan, Mizuho, MUFG and Wells Fargo Securities to act, and each of GS Bank, JPMorgan, Mizuho, MUFG and Wells Fargo Securities hereby agrees to act, (i) as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Bridge Facility (in such capacities, the “Bridge Lead Arrangers”) and (ii) as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Backstop Facility (in such capacities, the “Backstop Lead Arrangers”), (b) GS Bank to act, and GS Bank hereby agrees to act, as the sole administrative agent for the Bridge Facility and as the sole administrative agent for the Backstop Facility, and (c) STRH and UBS Securities to act, and each of STRH and UBS Securities hereby agrees to act, as co-managers for each of the Bridge Facility and the Backstop Facility, in each case on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and subject only to the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit E to this Commitment Letter.
You also hereby appoint JPMorgan and GS Bank to act, and each of JPMorgan and GS Bank hereby agrees to act, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacities, the “Amendment Lead Arrangers” and, together with the Bridge Lead Arrangers and the Backstop Lead Arrangers, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and the Incremental Revolving Facility.  In its capacity as Amendment Lead Arranger, each Amendment Lead Arranger agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consent of lenders under the Existing Credit Facility (the “Existing Lenders”) to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and to arrange a syndicate of Lenders (as defined below) to provide the Incremental Revolving Facility, it being understood and agreed that (a) the Amendment Lead Arrangers shall endeavor to obtain the requisite consent to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment within 90 days after the date hereof, (b) the Additional Amendment may be obtained in the same amendment agreement as the Specified Amendment or in one or more subsequent amendment agreements, all as determined by the Amendment Lead Arrangers, and obtaining the requisite consent for the Additional Amendment or arranging the Incremental Revolving Facility shall not be a condition to or cause for delay in entering into the Specified Amendment, and (c) if the requisite consent for the Specified Amendment shall not have been obtained on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the date hereof, the Amendment Lead Arrangers may at their discretion cease seeking to obtain the requisite consents for the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and to arrange the Incremental Revolving Facility.  You acknowledge that this Commitment Letter is neither an expressed nor an implied commitment by any Amendment Lead Arranger or any affiliate of any Amendment Lead Arranger to consummate the Existing Credit Facility Amendment (or any part thereof) or to provide any portion of the Incremental Revolving Facility or to hold or purchase any existing loans or commitments under the Existing Credit Facility in order to facilitate the consummation of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment (or any part thereof), nor is it a guarantee with respect to the outcome of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment or the arrangement of the Incremental Revolving Facility.  The obligations of the Amendment Lead Arrangers to endeavor to arrange the requisite consent to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, or to arrange the Incremental Revolving Facility, shall not require any Amendment Lead Arranger or any affiliate of any Amendment Lead Arranger to share any of the fees payable to it in connection with the Transactions (or otherwise expend any amounts) in order to achieve such consents or successful arrangement.

    
3

It is agreed that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters (as defined below)) will be paid by you or your subsidiaries to any Lender as consideration for its participation in the Facilities or to any Existing Lender as consideration to its consent to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, in any case relating to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment or the Incremental Revolving Facility, unless you, JPMorgan and GS Bank shall so agree, and in any other case, unless you and we shall so agree.  It is further agreed that (a) GS Bank will appear on the top left of the cover page of any marketing materials for each of the Bridge Facility and the Backstop Facility, and will hold the roles and responsibilities conventionally understood to be associated with such name placement, and (b) JPMorgan will appear on the top left of the cover page of any marketing materials for the Incremental Revolving Facility and the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, and will hold the roles and responsibilities conventionally understood to be associated with such name placement.
3.    Syndication. The Commitment Parties will syndicate the Incremental Revolving Facility and reserve the right, prior to or after the execution of the definitive documentation therefor, to syndicate the Committed Facilities to one or more financial institutions or other lenders in consultation with and reasonably acceptable to you (together with the Commitment Parties, the “Lenders”), it being understood that Permitted Lenders (as defined below) are reasonably acceptable to you, and you understand that the Facilities may be separately syndicated.  The Commitment Parties agree not to syndicate the Facilities to, or assign their commitments under the Committed Facilities to, (a) certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders that have been specified by you in writing to GS Bank on November 16, 2016, (b) any of your competitors that have been specified to the Lead Arrangers by you in writing before the Closing Date or to the applicable Administrative Agent by you in writing after the Closing Date at any time and from time to time and (c) in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), any of their respective affiliates (other than any bona fide debt funds) that are either (x) identified in writing to the Lead Arrangers or, after the Closing Date, the applicable Administrative Agent by you from time to time or (y) clearly identifiable as affiliates of such persons on the basis of the similarity of such affiliate’s name (the foregoing persons, collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”), it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any person that shall have become a Disqualified Lender after the date of the launch of the general syndication for any Facility if such person shall have become a Lender or participant (or shall have been allocated a commitment as part of the general syndication of such Facility) prior thereto, but shall disqualify such person from taking any further assignment or participation thereafter).  Notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Facilities and to receive commitments with respect thereto, other than (i) in connection with any assignment between a Commitment Party and any of its affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, between GS Bank and GSLP), (ii) any assignment to any person that (A) is an Existing Lender as of November 16, 2016 or (B) is a commercial or investment bank or an insurance company that, in each case under this clause (B), at the time of such assignment has a long-term senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced debt rating of at least BBB by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”) or Baa2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and is not a Disqualified Lender or (iii) any assignment to any other person to which you shall have consented in writing (each assignee described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above being 

    
4

referred to as a “Permitted Lender”), (A) no Commitment Party shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Committed Facilities on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Committed Facilities until after the Closing Date has occurred, (B) no assignment or novation shall become effective (as between you and any of us) with respect to all or any portion of any Commitment Party’s commitments in respect of any Committed Facility until the initial funding of such Committed Facility by such Commitment Party and (C) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Committed Facilities and this Commitment Letter, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until after the Closing Date has occurred.
Until the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter) shall have occurred and (b) 60 days after the Closing Date (such period, the “Syndication Period”), you agree to assist us in arranging the Existing Credit Facility Amendments and completing syndications of the Facilities that are reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you. Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the arrangement and syndication efforts benefit from your and your subsidiaries’ existing banking relationships and, to the extent practical and appropriate, the existing banking relationships of the Target and its subsidiaries, (ii) direct contact between your senior management, on the one hand, and the Existing Lenders and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between the senior management of the Target, on the one hand, and the Existing Lenders and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), at such times during normal business hours as are mutually agreed, (iii) your assistance (and subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target and its subsidiaries to assist) in prompt preparation of customary confidential information memoranda (the “Confidential Information Memoranda”) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the arrangement and syndication efforts by providing information and other customary materials reasonably requested by any of us in connection therewith (such marketing materials and the Confidential Information Memoranda, collectively, with the Term Sheets and the information and projections referred to in the next succeeding paragraph, the “Information Materials”), (iv) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of one or more meetings of and conference calls with the Existing Lenders and the prospective Lenders, at times and locations mutually agreed upon and upon reasonable advance notice (provided that, without your consent, there shall be no more than one general bank meeting for the Incremental Revolving Facility and one general bank meeting for the Committed Facilities), (v) your ensuring that there are not any competing issues of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities (including incremental commitments or loans or extensions of existing commitments or loans) of you or your subsidiaries (and, subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the same with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries) offered, placed, announced or arranged (excluding the Facilities, the Term Loan Facility, the Senior Notes or any other debt securities issued for the purpose of consummating the Acquisition or any debt securities issued by, or commercial bank or other credit facilities of, Tesoro Logistics LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Tesoro Logistics”), and its subsidiaries), to the extent such offering, placement, announcement or arrangement could 

    
5

reasonably be expected to materially impair the arrangement of the Specified Amendment, the arrangement or the primary syndication of the Facilities or the marketing of the Senior Notes or the Term Loan Facility, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being understood that the Borrower’s and its subsidiaries’ deferred purchase price obligations, ordinary course working capital facilities (other than any new or incremental revolving credit facilities), borrowings under existing facilities (other than under any incremental commitments established or extended under such facilities after November 16, 2016) and ordinary course capital leases, purchase money and equipment financings, and any indebtedness of the Target and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred and remain outstanding pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement will not, in each case, be deemed to materially impair the arrangement of the Specified Amendment, the primary syndication of the Facilities or the marketing of the Senior Notes or the Term Loan Facility), and (vi) prior to the launch of the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities and the commencement of the marketing period for the Senior Notes, using your commercially reasonable efforts to (x) obtain an updated monitored public corporate credit rating from S&P and an updated monitored public corporate family rating from Moody’s, in each case, with respect to the Borrower and (y) obtain public ratings of the Senior Notes and, if applicable, the Term Loan Facility from each of S&P and Moody’s.  Such assistance shall also include, in respect of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, your cooperating with the Amendment Lead Arrangers in seeking to obtain the requisite consent of the Existing Lenders to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment (including, without limitation, by negotiating in good faith the terms of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment (including as to such amendments of the Existing Credit Facility as may be reasonably requested by the Existing Lenders in respect of the Acquisition and the Target and its subsidiaries and by consenting to such assignments under the Existing Credit Facility as the Amendment Lead Arrangers may request be made to facilitate obtaining such requisite consent) and your entering into the Specified Amendment at such time as the Amendment Lead Arrangers shall advise you that the Existing Lenders are willing to provide the requisite consent thereto.  Without limiting your obligations to assist with arrangement and syndication efforts as set forth above, each Commitment Party agrees that neither the obtaining of the requisite consent to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment nor the commencement or the completion of the syndication of any Facility or the receipt of any rating referred to above is a condition to its commitment hereunder.
The Lead Arrangers will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities and the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, including, without limitation, selection of Lenders, determination of when the Lead Arrangers will approach the Existing Lenders or potential Lenders and the time of acceptance of the Lenders’ commitments or the Existing Lenders’ consents and any naming rights, and will, subject to your consent in the case of any Lender that is not a Permitted Lender, determine the Lenders whose commitments will be accepted, the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Existing Lenders and the Lenders. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication and arrangement efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers (and, subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers) all customary information with respect to you, the Target and your and its subsidiaries and the Transactions, including, without limitation, all customary financial information and the projections 

    
6

of and other forward-looking information with respect to you, the Target and your and its subsidiaries after the Transactions (the “Projections”), that the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities and the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment.
You acknowledge that (a) subject to the confidentiality obligations contained herein, the Commitment Parties on your behalf will make available the Information Materials and other information relating to the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and the Facilities, including drafts and final definitive documentation with respect thereto, to the Existing Lenders and the proposed Lenders by posting the Information Materials and such other information on IntraLinks, SyndTrak, Datasite or another similar electronic system, in accordance with the Lead Arrangers’ standard syndication practices (including hard copy and via electronic transmissions), it being understood and agreed that all information so disseminated or provided shall continue to be subject to the terms of any written confidentiality agreements heretofore or hereafter executed by the Lead Arrangers and the confidentiality provisions set forth herein, and (b) certain Existing Lenders and prospective Lenders (such Lenders, “Public Lenders”; all other Existing Lenders or Lenders, “Private Lenders”) may have personnel that do not wish to receive Private Lender Information (as defined below).  If requested, you agree to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memoranda (and related marketing materials) and presentations to be distributed to Public Lenders in connection with the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to you, your subsidiaries, the Target or its subsidiaries or any securities of any of the foregoing for purposes of the United States Federal or state securities laws (the information and documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) being “Public Lender Information”).  Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”.  You further agree that, unless expressly designated as “PUBLIC”, each document to be disseminated by the Lead Arrangers to any Existing Lender or any Lender in connection with the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment or the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities will be deemed to contain Private Lender Information. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution of such Confidential Information Memorandum to the Existing Lenders or prospective Lenders, containing a representation from you to the Lead Arrangers that the public-side version does not include any Private Lender Information and a customary “10b-5” representation consistent with Section 6 below (and you shall, subject to your rights under the Acquisition Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to deliver customary authorization letters containing such representations from the Target to the Lead Arrangers, it being understood that the customary “10b-5” representation by the Target, in the case of authorization letters delivered by the Target, shall not be qualified by knowledge), and exculpating (x) the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof and (y) you and your subsidiaries with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum. You agree that the Commitment Parties on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all Public Lenders and Private Lenders (other than Disqualified Lenders), unless, after having been given a reasonable 

    
7

opportunity to review such documents, you advise the Commitment Parties that such material should only be distributed to Private Lenders: (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities and the Existing Credit Facility Amendment; (b) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for the Existing Lenders or prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities or the Existing Credit Facility Amendment.  If you advise us in writing that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then the Commitment Parties will not distribute such materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with you.  At our request, you shall designate information to be distributed solely to Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously designating the same as “PUBLIC” (it is understood that you shall not otherwise be under any obligation to designate information as “PUBLIC”).
4.    Fees. As consideration for our commitments hereunder and our undertakings to arrange, manage, structure and syndicate the Facilities and arrange the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, you agree to pay to us the fees and fulfill the other obligations set forth in the Term Sheets and in the amended and restated arranger fee letter dated the date hereof, among us and you (the “Arranger Fee Letter”; the original arranger fee letter dated November 16, 2016, among you, GS Bank and GSLP that is being so amended and restated is referred to herein as the “Original Arranger Fee Letter”), the revolver administrative agent fee letter dated the date hereof, between you and JPMorgan (the “Revolver Administrative Agent Fee Letter”) and the administrative agent fee letter dated November 16, 2016, among you, GS Bank and GSLP (the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter” and, together with the Arranger Fee Letter and the Revolver Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”).
5.    Conditions Precedent. Our respective commitments and agreements hereunder are subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly stated in Exhibit E hereto; it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to our respective commitments hereunder (including compliance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters and the Loan Documents) other than those that are expressly stated in Exhibit E (and upon satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the initial funding under the Committed Facilities shall occur).  Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Loan Documents or any other letter agreement or other undertaking to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Committed Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) the Acquisition Agreement Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Loan Documents, to the extent not expressly set forth in the Exhibits hereto, shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Committed Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit E hereto are satisfied. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) “Acquisition Agreement Representations” means such representations and warranties made by the Target in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or your applicable subsidiaries) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure periods) to terminate your (or its) obligation to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement or the right not to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties, and (B) “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents relating to 

    
8

corporate or other organizational existence of the Loan Parties, organizational power and authority (as to execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents) of the Loan Parties, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties, enforceability and governmental authorizations, in each case as it relates to entering into and performance of the Loan Documents against or by the Loan Parties, the Loan Documents not conflicting with the Loan Parties’ respective organizational documents, the Loan Documents and the Transactions not conflicting with the Existing Tesoro Indentures (as defined below), solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (such representation and warranty to be consistent with the solvency certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto), Federal Reserve margin regulations, Investment Company Act status, subject to permitted liens, the creation, validity and perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral (solely in the case of the Backstop Facility), compliance with Patriot Act and use of proceeds not violating OFAC and FCPA.  The provisions in this Section 5 are referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions.”  For the avoidance of doubt, “Loan Documents” as used in this Commitment Letter shall mean (i) if the Specified Amendment is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Bridge Documentation and the Backstop Documentation and (ii) if the Specified Amendment is obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Bridge Documentation only.  For purposes of the foregoing, “Existing Tesoro Indentures” means (x) Indenture dated as of March 18, 2014, between the Borrower and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and (y) Indenture, dated as of September 27, 2012, between the Borrower and U.S. Bank National Association, in each case, together with the forms of notes issued thereunder and as supplemented from time to time.
6.    Information.  You hereby represent and warrant (but the accuracy of such representation and warranty shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Committed Facilities) that (a) all written information (other than the Projections, estimates and information of a general economic, forward looking or industry nature and, prior to the Closing Date, limited to your knowledge in the case of any such information as to the Target and its subsidiaries) (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to any of the Commitment Parties by you or any of your representatives or affiliates on your behalf, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, as the case may be, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (when taken as a whole after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been made or will be made available to any of the Commitment Parties by you or any of your representatives or affiliates on your behalf and that have or will be made available to any of the Commitment Parties or any Lender in connection with the Transactions have been or will be, as the case may be, prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable at the time so made available (it being recognized by us that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, are not to be viewed as facts, that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material, and that no assurance can be given that any projection will be realized).  You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the Syndication Period so that, assuming such Information and the Projections were so made available at any time prior to 

    
9

such later date, the representation and warranty in the preceding sentence remains correct. In syndicating and arranging the Facilities and the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
7.    Expenses. You agree to pay or reimburse each Commitment Party for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of such Commitment Party’s due diligence investigation, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of outside counsel identified in the Term Sheets and one local counsel (limited to a single firm of counsel for all of the Commitment Parties) retained in any material relevant jurisdiction to the extent reasonably necessary) incurred by such Commitment Party or its affiliates (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) in connection with the Facilities and the Existing Credit Facility Amendment and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Original Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Original Arranger Fee Letter, the Loan Documents and any security arrangements in connection therewith and any such fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of the Commitment Parties’ rights and remedies hereunder.
8.    Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its affiliates and each Commitment Party’s and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, other representatives, controlling persons, members, partners and successors and permitted assigns (each Commitment Party and each such other person being an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (excluding expenses of the nature described in Section 7 above), joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Term Sheets, the Original Commitment Letter, the Original Arranger Fee Letter, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, the Facilities, the use of proceeds therefrom and any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and regardless of whether a Proceeding is brought by a third party or by you, the Target or any of your or its respective affiliates or equity holders or any other person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or testifying in connection with any of the foregoing (limited, in the case of legal expenses, to one counsel to the Indemnified Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and one additional counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction) to each group of affected Indemnified Persons similarly situated, taken as a whole; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (a) to the extent they have been determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, or material breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or the Loan Documents, or (b) that have resulted from any dispute solely among or between any of the Commitment Parties not arising from any act or omission by the Borrower, the Target or their respective affiliates, other than 

    
10

any proceeding against an Indemnified Person in its capacity or fulfilling its role as an administrative agent, arranger, bookrunner, manager, agent or any other titled role under or in respect of the Facilities or in respect of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment, provided further that such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay to you all expense reimbursements previously made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that such Indemnified Person is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder as contemplated by the preceding proviso of this paragraph.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Person shall be liable for (i) any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages have been determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, or (ii) any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with its activities related to this Commitment Letter, the Original Commitment Letter, the Existing Credit Facility Amendments, the Facilities or the use of proceeds thereunder.
You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), but if settled with your prior written consent or if there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceedings, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the preceding paragraph. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person and (c) contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions. Except to the extent arising from your indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations under this Commitment Letter, the Loan Documents or any other written agreement to which any such person is a party, in no event shall you, the Target and your and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates be liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

For this purpose, the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters is the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of such transactions and the tax structure of such transactions is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of such transactions.
Each of us agrees that it shall use all material non-public information received by it in connection with the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter solely for the purposes of providing the services that are the subject of this Commitment Letter and shall treat confidentially all such information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent any of us from disclosing any such information (a) to rating agencies on a confidential basis, (b) to any Existing Lenders, Lenders or participants, prospective Lenders or participants or 

    
12

Subject to Section 10 hereof, our obligations under this paragraph shall automatically expire upon the earlier of execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the first anniversary of the date hereof.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby waive and release any claims that you may have against the Commitment Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any financing 

    
14

No Commitment Party has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheets and you have consulted with your own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed it appropriate to do so.
The parties hereto acknowledge that Goldman, Sachs & Co. has been retained by you (or one of your affiliates) as financial advisor (in such capacity, the “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the Acquisition.  The parties hereto agree to such retention, and further agree not to assert any claim they might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from the engagement of the Financial Advisor, on the one hand, and GS Bank’s and its affiliates’ relationships with you as described and referred to herein, on the other.

15

avoidance of doubt, assignments between GS Bank and GSLP) and (b) subject to Section 3 hereof, in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or the arrangement of the Existing Credit Facility Amendment; provided that, other than as contemplated by Section 3 hereof and except for assignments between GS Bank and GSLP or assignments to Permitted Lenders, such Commitment Party shall not be released from the portion of its commitment hereunder so assigned to the extent such assignee fails to fund the portion of the commitment assigned to it on the Closing Date notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions to such funding set forth herein.  Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. This Commitment Letter is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and the Indemnified Persons and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of or be enforceable by, any person other than the parties hereto and the Indemnified Persons, except that the Commitment Parties may perform the duties and activities described hereunder through any of their respective affiliates or branches, including, in the case of JPMorgan, by or through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and the provisions of Section 9 shall apply with equal force and effect to any of such affiliates or branches so performing any such duties or activities.
12.    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; etc. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof to the extent that such principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction; provided that the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern in determining (a) whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, (b) whether a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Exhibit E) has occurred and (c) accuracy of any Acquisition Agreement Representations.

In addition, with respect to any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter, the Original Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Original Arranger Fee Letter, the Transactions or the performance by any of us or any of our respective affiliates of the services contemplated hereby, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably: (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York; (b) agree that, subject to the final sentence of this paragraph, all claims with respect to such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such New York State or Federal court; (c) waive the defense of any inconvenient forum to such New York State or Federal court; (d) agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in another jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; and (e) consent to service of process by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such party at its address set forth in Section 15 hereof and agree that such service shall be effective when sent or delivered. Nothing in this Commitment Letter shall affect any right that any Commitment Party or any of its affiliates may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter, the Original Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Original 

    
16

Arranger Fee Letter and the Transactions against you or your properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

	The proceeds of the Bridge Loans, together with the proceeds of any Senior Notes issued, or loans under the Term Loan Facility and/or the Incremental Revolving Facility made, in lieu thereof, will be used to finance the Acquisition and the Debt Repayment and to pay for a portion of Transaction Costs.

	Availability:
	The full amount of the Bridge Facility must be drawn in a single drawing on the Closing Date concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the Bridge Facility may not be reborrowed.

B-1

	
				
	Ranking:
	The Bridge Loans will rank pari passu with other senior indebtedness of the Borrower.

	Guarantees:
	Substantially the same as and limited to those set forth in the Existing Credit Facility.  The Target and each of its subsidiaries that would be required to guarantee the Existing Credit Facility will, subject to the Guarantee and Collateral Provisions, be required to become guarantors.  The Borrower and the guarantors are collectively referred to as the “Loan Parties”.

	Maturity:
	The Bridge Loans will mature on the day that is 364 days after the Closing Date, and will not be subject to scheduled amortization prior to the final maturity thereof.

	Interest Rates:
	The Borrower may elect that the Bridge Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
As used herein:
“Base Rate” means for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day.  Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.
“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

B-2

	
				
	 
	“LIBO Rate” means the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate) for dollars for a period equal in length to such Interest Period as displayed on pages LIBOR01 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Bridge Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (in each case the “LIBO Screen Rate”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such Interest Period then the LIBO Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate (as defined in the Existing Credit Facility).
“Applicable Margin” shall be the applicable rate per annum determined in accordance with the ratings based grid on Annex I hereto.
In no event shall the Adjusted LIBO Rate be less than zero or the Base Rate be less than the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum.
The Borrower may select, in respect of Eurodollar Loans, Interest Periods of one week or one, two or three months or such shorter or longer period as may be consented to by each Bridge Lender.
Interest will be payable in arrears (a) with respect to each Base Rate Loan, on the first business day of each calendar quarter during the term of such Base Rate Loan and (b) with respect to each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of the applicable interest period relating thereto; provided that in the event that the interest period for a Eurodollar Loan shall be for a period in excess of three months, then interest shall also be payable on each three month anniversary of the commencement of such interest period.

	Duration Fees
	The Borrower shall pay duration fees for the account of each Bridge Lender in amounts equal to the percentage, determined in accordance with the grid below, of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans of such Bridge Lender outstanding at the close of business, New York City time, on each date set forth in the grid below.

“Senior Debt Rating” means the rating assigned by S&P or Moody’s to the senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness for borrower money of the Borrower that is not guaranteed by any other person or subject to any other credit enhancement.

For purposes of the foregoing, at any time that there is a split in such Senior Debt Ratings, then the lower of such Senior Debt Ratings shall apply, unless there is a split in Senior Debt Ratings of more than one level, in which case the level that is one level higher than the lower Senior Debt Rating shall apply.  If either S&P or Moody’s shall not have in effect a Senior Debt Rating, then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Level 4.

Pursuant to Section [•] of the Credit Agreement, dated [•], 2016, among [•] (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, the undersigned hereby certifies, solely in such undersigned’s capacity as [Chief Financial Officer] of the Borrower, and not individually, as follows:
As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such indebtedness under such Transactions:
		
	(a)
	The amount of the fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis exceeds:

		
	(i)
	the value of all liabilities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), including contingent and other liabilities, as generally determined in accordance with applicable United States federal laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors; and

		
	(ii)
	the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured;

		
	(b)
	The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) do not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged; and

GRID PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
Up to U.S.$1,000,000.00                     
	
 Made to be Effective as of November 28, 2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, ERBA Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Erba Diagnostics Mannheim GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany which is the majority stockholder of Maker (“Holder”), the principal sum of one million United States dollars (U.S.$1,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be loaned by Holder to Maker as shown on the attached Schedule (the “Principal”), plus interest (the “Interest”) on the Principal from time to time remaining unpaid, calculated at the simple rate of three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum, and payable as hereinafter set forth. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed. 

 

After the consummation of the initial loan of Principal under this Note, any subsequent loans of Principal under this Note shall be made in the amounts and at the times determined by the vote or written consent of the majority of the independent directors on Maker’s Board of Directors. The consummation of any such subsequent loan shall take place on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date on which such directors shall have caused Maker to provide notice thereof to Holder.

 

Holder is authorized to record the date and amount of each loan of Principal and each payment of Principal with respect thereto on the Schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof, which recordation, upon execution and acknowledgment by Maker, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded. 

 

1.     Payments. Maker shall pay to Holder the entire unpaid Principal and any and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon on October 31, 2017. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty. Prepayments shall first be applied against accrued and unpaid Interest hereunder and shall then be applied to the Principal hereunder. Payments to Holder under this Note shall be made to Holder at the principal headquarters of Holder, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate to Maker in writing (including, without limitation, by automatic deposit or wire transfer to an account designated by Holder). All payments hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds of lawful money of the United States of America. 

 

2.     Events of Default. If one or more of the following described events shall have occurred, then this Note shall be in default (each, a “Default”): 

 

a.     Maker fails to make the payment of Principal or of Interest on this Note on, or within five (5) business days after, the date upon which such payment becomes due; or

 

b.     Maker (i) becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability or refusal to pay, debts as they become due, (ii) applies for, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other custodian therefor or any property or asset thereof, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a trustee, has a receiver or other custodian is appointed therefor or for a substantial part of the property or assets thereof and is not discharged within sixty (60) days or (v) has any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, commenced in respect thereof, and if such case or proceeding is not commenced thereby, it is consented to or acquiesced in thereby, or remains undismissed for sixty (60) days.

 

 

 

 

 

3.     Default Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the entire unpaid Principal, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand and, while in Default, all amounts due under this Note shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law. In addition, Maker agrees to pay the costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonably attorneys’ fees and expenses, in the event of a Default, whether or not a lawsuit is brought. 

 

4.     Miscellaneous.

 

(a)     Maker waives demand, presentment, protest, dishonor and notice of maturity, non-payment or protest and all other requirements to hold Maker liable. Maker shall raise no defenses other than that payment has been made. Maker shall not raise any claims of set off in any action or proceeding.

 

(b)     If payment of Principal or Interest on this Note becomes due on a Saturday, Sunday or other legal holiday on which banks in the State of Florida are closed, then the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding business day.

 

(c)     If any provision or portion of this Note is declared or found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or null and void, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Note, and the remaining provisions and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(d)     This Note may not be amended, extended, renewed or modified nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except by an instrument in writing executed by Holder. 

 

(e)     Neither Maker nor Holder shall assign this Note, or any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may be withheld in such other’s sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason whatsoever. 

 

(f)     This Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions. 

 

(g)     The headings contained in this Note are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Note.

 

(h)     A delay by Holder in exercising a right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver by Holder of any default hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy which Holder may have in law or in equity to enforce the paying of this Note or the collection thereof. Maker expressly agrees that the maturity of this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended by the Holder from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of Maker.
