The undersigned person, acting as sole incorporator of Western Refining, Inc.

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is “Western Refining, Inc.”
SECOND: The address of its registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.
THIRD: The purposes of the Corporation are to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL.
FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 250,000,000 shares, consisting of:
(1) 240,000,000 shares of Common Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share; and
(2) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.
Preferred Stock. The authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. Subject to any provision made in this Article FOURTH fixing and determining the designations, powers, rights and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors is hereby authorized to issue the shares of Preferred Stock in such series and to fix from time to time the number of shares to be included in any series and the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of all shares of such series, all of which shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock (a “Preferred Stock Designation”).
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock Designation, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL. Except as otherwise provided by law or by a Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders.
Common Stock. The Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms of the Preferred Stock and any series thereof. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share upon all proposals on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Except as otherwise provided by law or by any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the members of the Board of Directors and for all other purposes. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends if, as and when dividends are declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.
FIFTH: Each director elected at and after the annual meeting of shareholders of 2014 shall be elected for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. For the avoidance of doubt, any director elected prior to the annual meeting of shareholders of 2014 shall serve for the remainder of the term to which such director was elected or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders at which his or her term expires and, the foregoing notwithstanding, shall serve until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified
or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 141(k) of the DGCL to the contrary, any director may be removed either with or without cause.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
NINTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (including, without limitation, Section 145 thereof), as amended from time to time, indemnify any officer or director whom it shall have power to indemnify from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other losses of any nature. The indemnification provided in this Article NINTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity, while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a officer or director and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
TENTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation at any meeting at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors.
