EXHIBIT C

FORM OF OPINION

The form of opinion will be in substantially the same form as the Borrower’s Counsel opinion provided by ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. on August 25, 2005, as follows:

Based upon the foregoing and and subject to other qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.     Tesoro has been formed as a corporation under the laws of Nevada and its status is active.

2.     IWT has been formed as a corporation under the laws of Florida and its status is active.

3.     Transport has been formed as a corporation under the laws of Florida and its status is active.

4.     International has been formed as a Bermuda exempt company under the laws of Bermuda and its status is active.

5.     IFG has been formed as a corporation under the laws of Delaware and its status is active.

6.     TTC has been formed as a corporation under the laws of Delaware and its status is active.

7.     The Company and its Subsidiaries each has the corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its respective business as presently conducted.

8.     The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Related Agreements by the Company and its Subsidiaries to which each is a party and the observance and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of its respective obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by requisite actions by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Agreement and the Related Agreements delivered by the Company and its Subsidiaries to Purchaser on the Closing Date is based upon adequate consideration and constitutes, and each of the other Agreement and the Related Agreements to which the Company and its Subsidiaries is a party, when duly executed and delivered will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and is enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Our opinion concerning the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Agreement and the Related Agreements to which the Company and its Subsidiaries is a party means that (a) the Agreement and the Related Agreements constitute effective contracts under Florida Law, (b) the Agreement and the Related Agreements are not invalid because of a specific statutory prohibition or public policy and are not subject in their entirety to a contractual defense, and (c) subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, some remedy is available if a Company or a Subsidiary is in material default under the Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party. This opinion does not mean that (a) any particular remedy is available upon a material default or (b) every provision of the Agreement and the Related Agreements to which the Company or a Subsidiary is a party will be upheld

D-1

or enforced in any or each circumstance by a court. Furthermore, the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Agreement and the Related Agreements to which the Company or a Subsidiary is a party may be limited or otherwise affected by:  (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar statutes, rules, regulations or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally; and (b) the unavailability of, or limitation on the availability of, a particular right or remedy (whether in a proceeding in equity or at law) because of an equitable principle or a requirement as to commercial reasonableness, conscionability or good faith.

9.     The execution and delivery by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Agreement and the Related Agreements delivered or to be delivered by each party and observance and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of each of their respective obligations thereunder, do not:

a.     Violate the provisions of their respective Charter or bylaws; or

b.     Violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

c.     Violate any Florida or federal law.

10.   There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to such counsel’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that prevents the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into this Agreement or any Related Agreement, or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. To such counsel’s knowledge, the Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality; nor is there any action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

11.   The shares of Common Stock of Tesoro issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), when issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Related Agreements and upon delivery shall, in each case, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non assessable.

12.   To our knowledge, the issuance of the Warrant and the subsequent exercise of the Warrant for Warrant Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights or, to our knowledge, rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

13.   Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in the Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Note and the Warrant (the “Securities”) will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, neither Tesoro, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy and security under circumstances that would cause the issuance of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement and the Related Agreements to be integrated with prior offerings by Tesoro for purposes of the Securities Act which would

2

prevent Tesoro from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions.
