(the &#147;Partnership Agreement&#148;) provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless (1)&nbsp;the

of the Registrant or a subsidiary, the Company, any Departing GP or any of their affiliates, (5)
any person who is or was serving at the request of the Company or a Departing GP or any affiliate
of the Company or a Departing GP as an manager, managing member, director, officer, employee,
agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person; provided that a person is not an indemnitee by
reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services, and (6)
any person the Company designates as an indemnitee for purposes of the Partnership Agreement to the
fullest extent permitted by law (subject to any limitations expressed in the Partnership Agreement)
(each an &#147;Indemnitee&#148;) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several,
expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or
other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal
or informal, including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved. Any indemnification described above will only be made out of the assets of the
Registrant. Unless the Company otherwise agrees, in its sole discretion, the Company will not be
personally liable for or have any obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to the
Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred
by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to
time, be advanced by the Registrant, subject to certain conditions. Section&nbsp;7.7 of the Partnership
Agreement also permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Company,
its affiliates and any other person as the Company may determine in its discretion, against any
liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such person in
connection with the Registrant&#146;s activities or such person&#146;s activities on behalf of the
Registrant, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person

(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,

such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 7.7 of the Registrant's First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement") provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless (1) the
Company, as its general partner, (2) any departing general partner of the Registrant (a "Departing
GP"), (3) any person who is or was an affiliate of the Company or a Departing GP, (4) any person
who is or was a manager, managing member, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee
of the Registrant or a subsidiary, the Company, any Departing GP or any of their affiliates, (5)
any person who is or was serving at the request of the Company or a Departing GP or any affiliate
of the Company or a Departing GP as an manager, managing member, director, officer, employee,
agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person; provided that a person is not an indemnitee by
reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services, and (6)
any person the Company designates as an indemnitee for purposes of the Partnership Agreement to the
fullest extent permitted by law (subject to any limitations expressed in the Partnership Agreement)
(each an "Indemnitee") from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several,
expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or
other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal
or informal, including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved. Any indemnification described above will only be made out of the assets of the
Registrant. Unless the Company otherwise agrees, in its sole discretion, the Company will not be
personally liable for or have any obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to the
Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate indemnification.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred
by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to
time, be advanced by the Registrant, subject to certain conditions. Section 7.7 of the Partnership
Agreement also permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Company,
its affiliates and any other person as the Company may determine in its discretion, against any
liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such person in
connection with the Registrant's activities or such person's activities on behalf of the
Registrant, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person
against such liabilities under the Partnership Agreement.
Under the Registrant's omnibus agreement with the Company, Tesoro Corporation, Tesoro Alaska
Company, Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company and certain of Tesoro Corporation's other
subsidiaries, Tesoro Alaska Company and Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company are required to
indemnify the Registrant and its subsidiaries for certain claims, losses and expenses incurred by
the Registrant attributable to, among other matters, certain environmental, title, tax and other
liabilities relating to assets contributed by Tesoro Corporation and its subsidiaries to the
Registrant, and the Registrant and its subsidiaries are required to indemnify Tesoro Corporation
and its subsidiaries for certain claims, losses or expenses incurred by Tesoro Corporation or its
subsidiaries attributable to the ownership and operation of the assets of the Registrant and its
subsidiaries. In addition, the Company is required to indemnify Tesoro Refining and Marketing
Company for any liabilities incurred by Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company in connection with
the transfer of certain employees covered by existing collective bargaining agreements from Tesoro
Refining and Marketing Company to the Company. The indemnification obligations of Tesoro Alaska
Company, Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company and the Registrant are subject to certain
limitations.
Under the operational services agreement among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the
Registrant (together with the Company, the "Logistics Entities"), Tesoro Alaska Company, Tesoro
Refining and Marketing Company and Tesoro Companies, Inc. (collectively, the "Tesoro Entities"),
the Logistics Entities are required to indemnify the Tesoro Entities for certain claims, losses and
expenses incurred by the Tesoro Entities, and the Tesoro Entities are required to indemnify the

In addition, Section 8(b) of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) provides for the indemnification of the Registrant, the Company, Tesoro Corporation,
Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company and Tesoro Alaska (collectively, the "Tesoro Parties"), the
Company's officers and directors, and any person who controls the Tesoro Parties, including
indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act.
2

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in
this registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that (A) paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
