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.

Covenants: Your services to the Company are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Company and its affiliates, particularly in view of your access to the Company’s or its affiliates’ confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly, in consideration of this Award and by accepting this Award, you agree as follows:

(i)    You agree that you will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, at any time during the term of your employment with the Company or its affiliates and for a period of one year following the date on which your employment with the Company and its affiliates terminates (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, serve as an officer, director, owner, contractor, consultant, or employee of any the following organizations (or any of their respective subsidiaries or divisions): HollyFrontier Corporation; Marathon Petroleum Corporation; PBF Energy Inc.; Phillips 66; Valero Energy Corporation; Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.; Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P.; MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P.; Western Gas Partners, L.P.; Buckeye Partners, L.P.; Sunoco Logistics Partners, L.P.; EnLink Midstream Partners, L.P.; Targa Resources Partners, L.P.; DCP Midstream Partners, L.P.; EQT Midstream Partners L.P.; NuStar Energy L.P.; ONEOK Partners; Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, L.P.; Genesis Energy, L.P.; and Holly Energy Partners, L.P., or otherwise engage in any business activity directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Company or its affiliates (or their respective subsidiaries or divisions) as in effect from time to time.

(iii)    You agree and understand that the Company and its affiliates own and/or control information and material which is not generally available to third parties and which the Company or its affiliates consider confidential, including, without limitation, methods, products, processes, customer lists, trade secrets and other information applicable to its business and that it may from time to time acquire, improve or produce additional methods, products, processes, customers lists, trade secrets and other information (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). You acknowledge that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Company and its affiliates, and that certain items of the Confidential Information have been acquired from third parties upon the express condition that such items would not be disclosed to




the Company and its officers and agents other than in the ordinary course of business. You acknowledge that disclosure of the Confidential Information to and/or use by anyone other than in the Company’s or its affiliates’ ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company and its affiliates. Accordingly, you agree to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest secrecy, and covenant that, during the term of your employment with the Company and its affiliates or at any time thereafter, you will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, allow any element of the Confidential Information to be disclosed, published or used, nor permit the Confidential Information to be discussed, published or used, either by himself or by any third parties, except in effecting your duties for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The Award has been granted under and is subject to the terms of the Plan unless specified within this Grant Agreement. This Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date.

You will be communicated at a later date when your Award is viewable on the Fidelity Stock Plan Services website. If this is the first time you are receiving this type of Award, you will receive a “Welcome Kit” from Fidelity Stock Plan Services with additional information.

We highly value your contribution and commitment to the Company’s success and believe that this Award provides you a financial incentive that aligns your interests with the Company's shareholders.

Performance Share Awards Granted in 2015

Summary of Key Provisions

 Purpose
l To advance the interests of the Company by motivating plan participants to contribute to the long-term success and progress of the Company.
Eligibility
l All senior executives and employees in the Company as approved by the Compensation Committee ("Committee") of Tesoro Board of Directors.
Plan
l These awards are granted under the general terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Performance Shares
l A Performance Share Award is a grant of shares where the final payout upon vesting is contingent upon achieving specific performance goals during a specified performance period.
Performance Period
l The performance period for the Performance Share Awards granted in 2015 is 36 months (January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017).
Vesting
l The Performance Share Awards will vest at the end of the 36 month performance period.

Payout Range
l The payout for the Performance Share Award can range from 0% to 200% as reflected in the Performance Payout Table.
Performance Measures
The Performance Share Award will be measured using relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) benchmarked against an index of the median TSR of the Performance Peer Group defined below. 
  For purposes of calculating TSR for the Company and our Performance Peer Group: 
ŸAn average of the stock prices for the 30 business days preceding the beginning and end of each individual year of the performance period will be used to calculate TSR. Normal dividends will be assumed to be reinvested in stock on the date the dividend is paid to shareholders. Any special dividends will not be included in the calculation. 
•For each fiscal year, a TSR will be calculated for the Company and for each of the individual peers. At the end of the performance period, an average TSR will be calculated from the individual one-year TSRs. The average of the three discrete one-year TSR calculations for each of the peer group companies will be used to determine a benchmark index by taking the median (50% percentile) of these averages. This benchmark index will be referred to as the Median Index TSR.
•The difference between the Company's average TSR and the Median Index TSR will be used to determine the payout percentage as shown in the payout table below. The payout percentage in the payout table below will be applied to the performance shares granted to the employee at time of grant.
