2 Forward Looking Statements This Presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to, among other things, the following: execution of our strategy and vision, including organic investments for growth and expansion projects , acquisition opportunities and commercial opportunities; our ability to improve operational efficiency and maximize asset utilization; potential growth in our third-party business and revenues; possible logistics asset acquisition opportunities from Tesoro Corporation and its affiliates and the potential EBITDA generated by such assets; EBITDA estimates for Tesoro Logistics and various portions of our businesses and the relative contribution of these businesses; the timing and amount of capital expenditures and the effect on those expenditures on our financial position and EBITDA; expected timeframe for construction projects; our ability to capture new business opportunities and maintain our existing customer base; pricing projections; our ability to maintain a credit-worthy customer base; our ability to reduce risk, including commodity price exposure; our ability to integrate our businesses effectively and increase utilization; the outlook for natural gas production and related pricing; expectations regarding our liquidity, leverage ratio and target debt to EBITDA level; expectations regarding unitholder distribution growth and coverage levels; and other aspects of future performance. We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,“ “potential” and similar terms and phrases to identify forward-looking statements in this Presentation. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors which are described in greater detail in our filings with the SEC. Please see our Risk Factor disclosures included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the previous statements. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained herein or to publicly release the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or that we become aware of, after the date of this Presentation. We have included EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow and results of operations excluding Predecessors, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the company. Please see the Appendix for the definition and reconciliation of these amounts.

30 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to ensure the safety, reliability, integrity and regulatory compliance of our assets. Maintenance capital expenditures, net included in the Distributable Cash Flow are presented net of Predecessor amounts. Adjustments represent cash distributions in excess of (or less than) income attributable to noncontrolling interest and other adjustments for depreciation and maintenance capital expenditures applicable to the noncontrolling interests obtained in the December 2, 2014 Rockies Natural Gas Business Acquisition. Certain prior year balances in the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow have been updated to conform to the current year presentation. Several of our contracts contain minimum volume commitments that allow us to charge the customer a deficiency payment if the customer’s actual throughput volumes are less than its minimum volume commitments for the applicable period. In certain contracts, if a customer makes a deficiency payment, that customer may be entitled to offset gathering fees or processing fees in one or more subsequent periods to the extent that such customer's throughput volumes in those periods exceed its minimum volume commitment. Depending on the specific terms of the contract, revenue under these agreements may be classified as deferred revenue and recognized once all contingencies or potential performance obligations associated with these related volumes have either been satisfied through the gathering or processing of future excess volumes of natural gas, or are expected to expire or lapse through the passage of time pursuant to terms of the applicable agreement. During the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we invoiced customers for deficiency payments. We do not recognize revenue related to the billing periods as these represent opening balance sheet assets for the Rockies Natural Gas Business Acquisition; however, TLLP is entitled to the cash receipt from such billings. Interest and financing costs, net exclude capitalized interest, reimbursed premiums from Tesoro and acquisition related costs. We define EBITDA as net income attributable to partners before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest and financing costs and interest income. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus or minus amounts determined to be “special items” by our management based on their unusual nature and relative significance to earnings in a certain period. We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA plus or minus amounts determined to be “special items” by our management based on their relative significance to cash flow in a certain period. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are not measures prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) but are supplemental financial measures that are used by management and may be used by external users of our combined consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to assess: – our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods; – the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders; – our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and – the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our results of operations. The U.S. GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash from operating activities. The amounts included in the calculation of EBITDA are derived from amounts separately presented in our combined consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tool, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash from operating activities.
