EXHIBIT 10.1 TESORO CORPORATION AMENDED

JANUARY 1, 2009
TESORO CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED
EXECUTIVE SECURITY PLAN PREAMBLE The
principal objective of this Amended and Restated Executive Security
Plan (the "Plan") is to ensure the payment of a competitive level
of retirement income in order to attract, retain and motivate
selected executives. The plan is designed to provide a benefit
which, when added to other retirement income of the executive, will
meet the objective described above. This Plan is a complete
amendment and restatement of the Plan, which was originally
established as a restatement and amendment of the Tesoro Executive
Post Retirement Benefit Plan and Tesoro Executive Death Benefit
Plan, and subsequently amended and restated, effective
January 1, 2005. The Plan, as amended and restated, effective
January 1, 2009 (except as otherwise specifically noted
herein), is intended to conform to the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, together with the Regulations, and
is intended to qualify as an unfunded plan maintained primarily for
the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management
and highly compensated employees of the Company and its
