(1) | This registration statement (this “Registration Statement”) covers the issuance of an aggregate of 66,456 common units representing limited partner interests (“Partnership Common Units”) of Andeavor Logistics LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Registrant”). At the effective time of the Merger (as defined in the Explanatory Note below), 126,994 common units of Western Refining Logistics, LP (“WNRL”) were subject to outstanding equity or equity-based awards under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Western Refining Logistics, LP (the “Plan”). The number of Partnership Common Units that may be issued pursuant to the Plan have been converted in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined herein). |
(2) | Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional Partnership Common Units that may become issuable under the Plan pursuant to this Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the registrant’s outstanding Partnership Common Units. |
(3) | Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act, based on the average of the high and low sales prices per unit of the Partnership Common Units as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on October 25, 2017. |
(4) | Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $124.50 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the total amount of the registration fee due is offset by $371.99, representing a portion of the dollar amount of the filing fee previously paid by the Registrant that corresponds to unsold units registered pursuant to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-220088) filed under the Securities Act on August 21, 2017. Accordingly, the filing fee transmitted herewith is $0. |

Item 4. Description of Securities

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 7.7 of the Registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of October 30, 2017 (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless (1) TLLP GP, as its general partner, (2) any departing general partner of the Registrant (a “Departing GP”), (3) any person who is or was an affiliate of TLLP GP or a Departing GP, (4) any person who is or was a manager, managing member, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of the Registrant or a subsidiary, TLLP GP, any Departing GP or any of their affiliates, (5) any person who is or was serving at the request of TLLP GP or a Departing GP or any affiliate of TLLP GP or a Departing GP as an manager, managing member, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person; provided that a person is not an indemnitee by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services, and (6) any person TLLP GP designates as an indemnitee for purposes of the Partnership Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law (subject to any limitations expressed in the Partnership Agreement) (each an “Indemnitee”) from and
against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved. Any indemnification described above will only be made out of the assets of the Registrant. Unless TLLP GP otherwise agrees, in its sole discretion, TLLP GP will not be personally liable for or have any obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to the Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate indemnification.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to time, be advanced by the Registrant, subject to certain conditions. Section 7.7 of the Partnership Agreement also permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of TLLP GP, its affiliates and any other person as TLLP GP may determine in its discretion, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such person in connection with the Registrant’s activities or such person’s activities on behalf of the Registrant, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the Partnership Agreement.
Subject to any terms, conditions, or restrictions set forth in the Partnership Agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever. TLLP GP maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein are set forth in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
