Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Indemnification Agreements

On December 10, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Tesoro Logistics LP (the “Partnership” or “TLLP”) approved a form of indemnification agreement for the independent members of its board of directors. The non-independent members of the Board are covered by separate indemnification agreements with Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”), the ultimate parent company of the General Partner (together with the indemnification agreements entered into by the independent members of the Board, the “Indemnification Agreements”). The Indemnification Agreements supplement the indemnification rights provided under the General Partner’s limited liability company agreement and under Tesoro’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. The Indemnification Agreements require the General Partner to indemnify the independent members of the Board, and Tesoro to indemnify the non-independent members of the Board, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of such individual’s service to the General Partner and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against such individual as to which such individual could be indemnified.  The Indemnification Agreements also provide procedures for the determination of the indemnitees’ right to receive indemnification and the advancement of expenses.

The foregoing descriptions of the Indemnification Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Indemnification Agreements, the forms of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
