Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 17, 2012, Tesoro Logistics LP ("the Partnership") entered into the second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to its senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated April 26, 2011, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions as lenders. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment, is scheduled to mature on April 25, 2014. We amended the Credit Agreement to revise the interest coverage and leverage ratios that it requires us to maintain. Under the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Partnership cannot:

permit the ratio of our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to our consolidated interest charges as of the end of any fiscal quarter (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”), for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be less than a 2.50 to 1.00;
permit the ratio of our consolidated funded debt to our consolidated EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal quarter (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”), for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be greater than 4.50 to 1.00 during a temporary period from the date of consummation of certain acquisitions (as described in the Credit Agreement) until the last day of the third consecutive quarter following such acquisitions, and greater than 4.00 to 1.00 at all other times, unless we have consummated an issuance of unsecured indebtedness (a “Qualified Notes Offering”) resulting in gross proceeds of at least $200 million and meeting certain other requirements (as described in the Credit Agreement), in which case the ratio cannot be greater than 5.00 to 1.00; or
upon and after the consummation of a Qualified Notes Offering, permit the ratio of our consolidated funded senior secured debt to our consolidated EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal quarter (the “Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”), for the immediately preceding four quarter period, to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

The Second Amendment:

reduced the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio from 3.00 to 1.00 to 2.50 to 1.00;
revised the Consolidated Leverage Ratio such that it would increase to 5.00 to 1.00 upon a Qualified Notes Offering; and
added a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio requirement, which did not exist under the Credit Agreement prior to the Second Amendment.
  
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
