Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 6, 2012, Tesoro Corporation (the “Company” or “Tesoro”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated as of March 26, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), and the related Amended and Restated Security Agreement with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The Amendment permits Tesoro to enter into permitted credit enhancement transactions, including silent payment undertakings and certain put arrangements (“Permitted Credit Enhancement Transactions”), to transfer the credit risk associated with commercial agreements with third parties for the sale of certain crude oil, feedstocks and refined products (“Sales Transactions”) to a financial institution in exchange for the right, title and interest to the receivable associated with the Sales Transaction or related invoice(s).

Upon entering into a Permitted Credit Enhancement Transaction, Tesoro will be required to provide the related documentation to the Administrative Agent. Receivables subject to Permitted Credit Enhancement Transactions will no longer constitute collateral under the Credit Agreement and will not be considered “Eligible Receivables” for purposes of calculating the Company's borrowing base. In addition, the Amendment specifies that the aggregate outstanding face amount of all receivables subject to Permitted Credit Enhancement Transactions, which would otherwise be eligible for inclusion in the borrowing base, shall not exceed $300 million at any time. With respect to receivables previously included in the borrowing base that become subject to credit enhancement, the Administrative Agent will also have the ability to impose a borrowing base reserve during the interim period between (x) the date such receivables become subject to a credit enhancement transaction and (y) the next date on which the borrower provides reports excluding such receivables from the borrowing base.

The foregoing description is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01  Financial Statements and Exhibits.
       (d)   Exhibits.
10.1    Omnibus Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated as of June 6, 2012.
