Dear First Name Last Name:
I am very pleased to inform you that, effective February 10, 2015 (the "Award Date"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Tesoro Corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to its authority under the Amended and Restated Tesoro Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), has approved the following long-term incentive award (the "Award") to you. The following is a summary of the terms and conditions associated with this Award. Capitalized terms not defined in this letter will have the definitions provided for such terms in the Plan.
Award: # Performance Shares of the Company’s common stock with a targeted value of $XXX,XXX is contingent upon the achievement of relative Total Shareholder Return against a Median Index of our Performance Peer Group, XLE Energy Index and S&P 500 Index. This Award will become eligible for vesting, subject to actual performance and continued employment, at the end of the 36 month performance period (January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017).
Upon vesting at the end of the performance period, the Award will be adjusted based on the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return against a Median Index of the Performance Peer Group, XLE Energy Index and S&P 500 Index to calculate the number of Shares that will be issued to you. Shares will be withheld by the Company to cover your applicable income and employment tax withholding(s) (at the minimum statutory level) and the net Shares will be credited to your account with Fidelity Stock Plan Services.
If you terminate employment due to Retirement or involuntary termination without Cause, you will be issued a pro-rated payout of Shares based on the number of full months worked (minimum of 12 months required for an involuntary termination without Cause) within the performance period based on the achievement of actual performance. In addition, if you are terminated pursuant to a severance or separation agreement under any circumstance, the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, further reduce the award payout percentage beyond the pro-rated reduction described above. Shares will be issued as soon as administratively practical, but in any event within calendar year 2018. If you terminate employment due to death or disability, as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (“Disability”), you will be issued a pro-rated payout of Shares based
on the number of full months worked within the performance period based on the achievement of target performance. Shares will be issued as soon as administratively practical upon termination due to death or Disability. If you terminate employment due to a voluntary termination or termination for Cause prior to the vesting of the Performance Shares Award, your Award will be forfeited. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Performance Shares Award will be paid out at the greater of the achievement of target performance or the achievement of actual performance through a date determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (or in the absence of the Compensation Committee, the Board itself) prior to the Change in Control.
