In addition to Landlord’s right of entry set forth in Section 18.01 hereof, Landlord shall have the right upon not less than twenty-four hours’ notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergencies, in which no prior notice is required) to enter upon the Premises for the purposes of inspecting, maintaining, repairing, modifying and/or replacing all or any portion of the Storage Area Improvements located thereon, to the extent that Tenant has failed to do so and such failure to complete the maintenance, repair, modification or replacement is in violation of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. To the extent that any such maintenance, repair, modification or replacement is undertaken by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred, within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice from Landlord detailing such amounts.
8.04 Right to Remove Tenant’s Property.

Upon termination of this Lease, all such property and improvements remaining on the Premises shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may keep, change or dispose of such property and improvements in Landlord’s sole and
6
absolute discretion, without any liability to Tenant therefor. If Tenant has failed to remove any improvements or property as required by the Removal Notice or has failed to repair and restore the Premises as required by terms of this Section 8.04, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual costs incurred by Landlord to do so.
ARTICLE 9. ENCUMBRANCE OF LEASEHOLD ESTATE
9.01 Tenant’s Right to Encumber. Tenant may, at any time and from time to time, encumber the leasehold interest, by deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, but no such encumbrance constitutes a lien on Landlord’s fee title. The indebtedness secured by the encumbrance will at all times be and remain inferior and subordinate to all the conditions, covenants, and obligations of this Lease and to all of Landlord’s rights under this Lease. References in this Lease to “Lender” refer to any person or entity to whom Tenant has encumbered its leasehold interest.
9.02 Notices to Lender. At any time after execution and recordation in Skagit County, Washington, of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering Tenant’s leasehold interest, Lender shall notify Landlord in writing that the mortgage or deed of trust has been given and executed by Tenant and furnish Landlord with the address to which copies of all notices to Tenant by Landlord are to be mailed. Landlord must mail to Lender, at the addresses given, copies of all written notices that Landlord gives or serves on Tenant under the terms of this Lease after receiving such notice from Lender.

9.05 Lender’s Right to Foreclose. Lender may realize on the security afforded by the leasehold estate by exercising foreclosure proceedings or power of sale or other remedy afforded in law or equity or by the security documents and may transfer, convey, or assign Tenant’s title to the leasehold estate created by this Lease to any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale. Lender also may acquire and succeed to Tenant’s interest under this Lease by virtue of any such foreclosure sale. Lender will not be or become liable to Landlord as an assignee of this Lease or otherwise unless it assumes such liability in writing, and no assumption may be inferred from or result from foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure or as the result of any other action or remedy provided for by the mortgage or deed of trust or other instrument or from a conveyance from Tenant under which the buyer at foreclosure or grantee acquires Tenant’s rights and interest under this Lease. Any purchaser of the property at a foreclosure sale becomes obligated to Landlord as the Tenant under the Lease, and such party must be satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, such that it will be in a position to provide the services required of Tenant hereunder, and that each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Landlord by this Lease, shall not be impaired or diminished as of result of such assignment of the leasehold interest.

ARTICLE 10. REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, AND RESTORATION
10.01 Tenant’s Duty to Maintain and Repair. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant will keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, all buildings and improvements erected on the Premises in a good state of appearance and repair (except for reasonable wear and tear) at Tenant’s own expense, in compliance with the terms of that certain Storage Services Agreement – Anacortes II, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified and/or extended from time to time) by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “Storage Services Agreement”) and the provisions of Section 7.01 above.
ARTICLE 11. MECHANICS’ LIENS
Tenant will not cause or permit any mechanics’ liens or other liens to be filed against the fee of the Premises or against Tenant’s leasehold interest (excluding any leasehold mortgage) in the land or any buildings or improvements on the Premises by reason of any work, labor, services, or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant or anyone holding the Premises or any part of them through or under Tenant. If such a mechanics’ lien or materialmens’ lien is recorded against the Premises or any buildings or improvements on them, Tenant must either cause it to be released or, if Tenant in good faith wishes to contest the lien, take timely action to do so, at Tenant’s sole expense. If Tenant contests the lien, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from all liability for damages occasioned by the lien or the lien contest and will, in the event of a judgment of foreclosure on the lien, cause the lien to be discharged and released before enforcement of the judgment is completed.
ARTICLE 12. CONDEMNATION
12.01 Parties’ Interests. If the Premises or any part of them are taken for public or quasi-public purposes by condemnation as a result of any action or proceeding in eminent domain, or are transferred in lieu of condemnation to any authority entitled to exercise the power of eminent domain, this article governs Landlord’s and Tenant’s interests in the award or consideration for the transfer and the effect of the taking or transfer on this Lease.
12.02 Total Taking—Termination. If the entire Premises are taken or so transferred as described in Section 12.01, this Lease and all of the rights, titles, and interests under it will cease on the date that title to the Premises or part of them vests in the condemning authority.
12.03 Partial Taking—Termination. If only part of the Premises is taken or transferred as described in Section 12.01, Tenant may terminate this Lease by providing notice of termination to Landlord within a reasonable time after title to the portion of the Premises taken or transferred vests in the condemning authority.

12.04 Allocation of Condemnation Award.
(a) Lease Not Terminated. In the event of a condemnation of any portion of the Premises and if this Lease is not terminated, the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be allocated as follows:
(i) First, Tenant shall receive so much of the award as is necessary to restore the Improvements and for the value of the Improvements taken; and
(ii) Second, Landlord shall receive the balance of the award.
(b) Lease Terminated. In the event of a condemnation and this Lease is terminated as herein provided, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the condemning authority to make separate awards to Landlord, on the one hand, and Tenant, on the other hand, as to their respective interests. If the condemning authority does not make such separate awards, then the award paid by the condemning authority (after payment of expenses incurred in connection with collecting the same) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that each party shall receive that portion of the award which bears the same proportion of the total award as the value of such party’s interests in the Premises bears to the total value of all interests in the Premises. The value of Landlord’s interests shall include the value of the land; the value of Landlord’s interest in this Lease had the Premises not been condemned, including the right to receive payment of all sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the remainder of the Lease term; and the value of Landlord’s residual right to the improvements located on the Premises upon termination of this Lease. The value of Tenant’s interest shall include the value of the improvements located on the Premises reduced by the value of Landlord’s reversionary interest therein; and the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder had the Premises not been condemned, including the right to use and occupy the Premises for the remainder of the Lease term subject to the obligation of Tenant to pay the amounts due hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled to claim in any condemnation proceedings such award as may be allowed for relocation costs or other consequential damages, but only to the extent that the same shall not reduce, and shall be in addition to, the award for the Premises and the improvements located on the Premises.
ARTICLE 13. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
13.01 Insurance on Buildings and Improvements. At all times during the Lease term, Tenant will keep all buildings and other improvements located or being constructed on the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire, with extended-coverage endorsement or its equivalent. This insurance is to be carried by insurance companies selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The insurance must be paid for by Tenant and will be in amounts not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the buildings and other improvements. Tenant may self-insure a greater percentage of this coverage if so agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing.
13.02 Other Agreements. The insurance and indemnification obligations of Landlord and Tenant are set forth in the Storage Services Agreement and that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) among Andeavor, Landlord, Tesoro
9
Companies, Inc., Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, Andeavor Logistics LP and Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC. In the event of a conflict of provisions of the Storage Services Agreement and those of the Omnibus Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in the Storage Services Agreement.
ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE
Tenant may not transfer, assign or sublease its leasehold estate or any portion thereof or any of its right, title or interest in this Lease (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Any merger, consolidation or transfer of the direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in Tenant that results in a direct or indirect change in the right to control the management of Tenant shall constitute a Transfer as defined above.
ARTICLE 15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
15.01 Termination on Default. Except as otherwise specifically noted in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant defaults in performing any covenant or term of this Lease and does not correct the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant declare this Lease, and all rights and interests created by it, terminated; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may not exercise its remedies under this Article unless Tenant (i) fails to commence the cure of the default within such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) thereafter fails to proceed with curative measures with reasonable diligence. If the Storage Services Agreement is terminated by reason of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right by written notice to Tenant to declare this Lease, and all rights and interests created by it, terminated.
15.02 Landlord’s Right to Purchase Improvements upon Default by Tenant. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.01, then without prejudice to any rights or remedies provided herein, Landlord shall have the right to purchase all improvements on the Premises owned by Tenant. Landlord may exercise such right by indicating Landlord’s election to purchase such improvements in Landlord’s written notice to Tenant terminating this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall promptly arrange to have the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises determined by appraisal, shall have the appraisal completed within sixty (60) days of the date on which the notice of termination is given, and shall thereafter provide a copy of such appraisal to Tenant (the “Appraisal Delivery Date”). Within thirty (30) days after the Appraisal Delivery Date (the “Response Date”), Tenant shall notify Landlord (x) that it is in agreement with the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, or (b) that it objects to the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal, in which event it shall provide its own determination of fair market value of the improvements, also as determined by appraisal, when it provides its objection by the Response Date. If Tenant is in agreement with the fair market value determined by Landlord’s appraisal or if Tenant fails to provide an objection by the Response Date, then the amount determined by Landlord’s appraisal shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds, within ten (10) days following the Response Date. If Tenant objects to the fair market value
10
of the improvements as determined by Landlord’s appraisal and provides notice of such objection to Landlord on or before the Response Date, then within ten (10) days after the Response Date, each of the appraisers initially retained by Landlord and Tenant to make the determination as to the fair market value of the improvements shall appoint a third appraiser to act as arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall, within fifteen (15) days after his or her appointment, select as the fair market value of the improvements either the fair market value set forth in Landlord’s appraisal or the fair market value set forth in Tenant’s appraisal and inform both Landlord and Tenant, in writing, of such selection. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to average the appraised values, or to designate an amount other than the fair market value specified in either Landlord’s appraisal or Tenant’s appraisal. Within ten (10) days following the date on which the parties receive written notice of the Arbitrator’s selection, the amount selected as the fair market value of the improvements shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, in immediately available funds. Following the payment by Landlord to Tenant applicable to the fair market value of the improvements, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights under or obligations arising from this Lease. The appraisers retained to make a determination regarding the fair market value of the improvements located on the Premises shall each be an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser conducting business in the Skagit County industrial market and having not less than ten (10) years active experience as an MAI commercial real estate appraiser. The fair market value of the improvements on the Premises owned by Tenant shall be determined by any such appraiser based on information regarding, without limitation, the nature of the particular improvement, its age and functionality, and the current sale price of similar improvements in the same industry, all as valued for their highest and best use at the time of termination of this Lease.
15.03 Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Lease as provided in this Article 15 will not relieve Tenant from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Landlord under the Lease at the time of termination, or any claim for damages then or previously accruing against Tenant under this Lease. Any such termination will not prevent Landlord from enforcing the payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering damages from Tenant for any default under the Lease.
ARTICLE 16. RESERVED

18.05 Release of Landlord. If Landlord sells or transfers all or part of the Premises and as a part of the transaction assigns its interest as Landlord in this Lease, then as of the effective date of the sale, assignment, or transfer, Landlord will have no further liability under this Lease to Tenant, except with respect to liability matters that have accrued and are unsatisfied as of that date. Underlying this release is the parties’ intent that Landlord’s covenants and obligations under this Lease will bind Landlord and its successors and assigns only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of the fee.
