Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
LLC Interest Purchase Agreement
          On June 1, 2009, Holly Corporation (“ Holly ”), a subsidiary of Holly, and a subsidiary of Holly Energy Partners, L.P., an affiliate of Holly (the “ Partnership, ” and together with Holly, the “ Parties ”), entered into and simultaneously closed an LLC Interest Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) for the Partnership to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Lovington-Artesia, L.L.C. (the “ Company ”) from Holly for a purchase price of $34.2 million (the “ Acquisition ”). The Company owns a newly constructed 16” feedstock pipeline (the “ 16” Pipeline ”) currently running 65 miles from Holly’s crude oil distillation and vacuum distillation facilities in Lovington, New Mexico to Holly’s petroleum refinery in Artesia, New Mexico. The Partnership financed the Acquisition by borrowing under its existing revolving credit agreement.
          Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Holly, the Partnership, and certain of their respective subsidiaries entered into (i) an amended and restated intermediate pipelines agreement and (ii) an amended and restated omnibus agreement. In addition, the Company granted Holly a second mortgage on the 16” Pipeline to secure the Partnership’s performance under the restated intermediate pipelines agreement. Holly controls the general partner of the Partnership and owns an approximate 41% interest in the Partnership, including the general partner interest.
          The description of the Purchase Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Purchase Agreement, including exhibits, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Amended and Restated Intermediate Pipelines Agreement
     On June 1, 2009 in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Parties entered into an amended and restated intermediate pipelines agreement (the “ Intermediate Pipelines Agreement ”). The Intermediate Pipelines Agreement amends and restates the 15-year Pipelines Agreement dated July 8, 2005, among the Parties that was previously filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Intermediate Pipelines Agreement terminates on June 1, 2024.
     The Intermediate Pipelines Agreement may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties, provided that the Party desiring to extend the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement provides the other Party with at least 12 months written notice of its request to extend the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement. In the event the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement is terminated without renewal, Holly will have a limited right of first refusal for one year following such termination to enter into a new pipelines agreement with the Partnership on commercial terms that substantially match the terms offered to the Partnership by a third-party. Holly will also have a right of first refusal to purchase the Intermediate Product Pipelines (as defined in the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement) should the Partnership decide to sell them in the future.
     Under the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement, Holly agrees to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of intermediate products that, at the agreed tariff rates, will result in minimum revenues to the Partnership of approximately $5.2 million per calendar quarter. This minimum commitment will increase each year at a rate equal to 75% of the percentage change in the producer price index, but will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the producer price index. For all barrels shipped in excess of 100,000 bpd, the tariff Holly will pay per barrel will be reduced from the full base tariff of $0.5664 per barrel to $0.2981 per barrel, except that for any non-Holly owned barrels shipped on the Intermediate Product Pipelines the full base tariff will be due. The full base tariff will be adjusted each year at a rate equal to 75% of the percentage change in the producer price index. Such

 


 

adjustment may result in an increase or decrease in the full base tariff. Holly’s minimum revenue commitment will apply only to the Intermediate Product Pipelines, and Holly will not be able to spread its minimum revenue commitment among pipeline assets the Partnership already owns or subsequently acquires. If Holly fails to meet its minimum revenue commitment in any quarter, it will be required to pay the Partnership in cash the amount of any shortfall by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. A shortfall payment would be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after Holly’s minimum obligations are met.
     At Holly’s request, the Partnership will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines each month during the term of the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement up to 100,000 bpd, subject to the Partnership’s common carrier duty to pro-ration capacity, where applicable.
     If new laws or regulations are enacted that require the Partnership to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with regard to the Intermediate Product Pipelines, the Partnership will have the right to amend the tariff rates to recover its costs of complying with these new laws or regulations (including a reasonable rate of return). The Parties will be required to negotiate in good faith to mitigate the economic costs associated with any such new laws and to determine the amount of the new tariff rate.
          Either Party may temporarily suspend its obligations under the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement during the occurrence of an event that is outside its control and renders its performance impossible for at least 30 days. An event with a duration of longer than one year will allow either of the Parties to terminate the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement.
          Pursuant to the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement, Holly will not challenge, or cause others to challenge or assist others in challenging, the Partnership’s tariff rates for the term of the agreement. At the termination of the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement, Holly will be free to challenge, or to cause others to challenge or assist others in challenging, the Partnership’s tariff rates.
          During the term of the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement, the Partnership will not reverse the direction of the Intermediate Product Pipelines or connect any other pipelines to the Intermediate Product Pipelines without Holly’s consent. Holly has the right to reverse the direction of the Intermediate Product Pipelines, so long as it reimburses the Partnership for the additional costs and expenses the Partnership incurs as a result of changing the direction of the Intermediate Product Pipelines and pays a flow reversal rate of $0.5664 per barrel for any product shipped in a reversed direction on the Intermediate Product Pipelines. Such flow reversal rates will be adjusted each year at a rate equal to 75% of the percentage change in the producer price index.
          Holly’s obligations under the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement will not terminate if Holly and its affiliates no longer own the Partnership’s general partner. The Intermediate Pipelines Agreement may be assigned to a third party with the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party, provided such consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Parties may also assign the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement to an affiliate or a third party lender or debt holder without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party.
          The description of the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

 


 

Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement
          On June 1, 2009 in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Parties entered into an amended and restated omnibus agreement (the “ Restated Omnibus Agreement ”). The Restated Omnibus Agreement amends and restates the Omnibus Agreement dated July 13, 2004, among the Parties that was previously filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Restated Omnibus Agreement addresses, among other things, the following matters:
    the Partnership’s obligation to pay Holly an annual administrative fee, currently in the amount of $2.3 million, for the provision by Holly of certain general and administrative services;
 
    Holly’s and its affiliates’ agreement not to compete with the Partnership under certain circumstances and the Partnership’s right to notice of, and right of first offer to purchase, certain logistics assets constructed by Holly or acquired as part of an acquisition by Holly of refining assets;
 
    an indemnity by Holly for certain potential environmental liabilities;
 
    the Partnership’s obligation to indemnify Holly for environmental liabilities related to the Partnership’s assets existing on the date of the Partnership’s initial public offering to the extent Holly is not required to indemnify the Partnership; and
 
    Holly’s right of first refusal to purchase the Partnership’s assets that serve Holly’s refineries.
          Under the Restated Omnibus Agreement the Partnership pays Holly an annual administrative fee, currently in the amount of $2.3 million, for the provision of various general and administrative services for the Partnership’s benefit. The Partnership’s general partner, with the approval and consent of its Conflicts Committee, may agree to increases in the administrative fee in connection with expansions of the Partnership’s operations through the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.
          The $2.3 million fee includes expenses incurred by Holly and its affiliates to perform centralized corporate functions, such as legal, treasury, information technology and other corporate services, including the administration of employee benefit plans. The fee does not include salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel or other employees of the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner or the cost of their employee benefits, such as 401(k), pension, and health insurance benefits, which are separately charged to the Partnership by Holly. The Partnership also reimburses Holly and its affiliates for direct general and administrative expenses they incur on our behalf.
          Holly and its affiliates have agreed, for so long as Holly controls the Partnership’s general partner, not to engage in, whether by acquisition or otherwise, the business of owning and/or operating crude oil pipelines or terminals, refined products pipelines or terminals, intermediate product pipelines or terminals, truck racks or crude oil gathering systems in the continental United States. This restriction will not apply to:
    any business operated by Holly or any of its affiliates at the time of the closing of the Partnership’s initial public offering;
 
    any business conducted by Holly with the approval of the Partnership’s Conflicts Committee;
 
    any business or asset that Holly or any of its affiliates acquires or constructs that has a fair market value or construction cost of less than $5.0 million; and

 


 

    any business or asset that Holly or any of its affiliates acquires or constructs that has a fair market value or construction cost of $5.0 million or more if the Partnership has been offered the opportunity to purchase the business or asset at fair market value, and has declined to do so with the concurrence of our Conflicts Committee.
          The limitations on the ability of Holly and its affiliates to compete with the Partnership may be terminated by Holly upon a change of control of Holly.
          Under the Restated Omnibus Agreement, Holly has agreed to indemnify the Partnership up to certain aggregate amounts for any environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with assets transferred to the Partnership and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers. The transfers that are covered by the agreement include the refined products pipelines, terminals and tanks transferred by Holly’s subsidiaries in connection with the Partnership’s initial public offering in July 2004, the intermediate pipelines transferred by Holly’s subsidiaries to the Partnership in July 2005, and the crude pipelines and tankage assets transferred by Holly’s subsidiaries to the Partnership in 2008. The Restated Omnibus Agreement provides environmental indemnification of up to $15.0 million for the assets transferred to the Partnership, other than the crude pipelines and tankage assets transferred to the Partnership in 2008, plus an additional $2.5 million for the intermediate pipelines acquired in July 2005. Except as described below, Holly’s indemnification obligations described above shall remain in effect for an asset for ten years following the date of transfer of such asset to the Partnership. The Restated Omnibus Agreement also provides an additional $7.5 million of indemnification through 2023 for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities specific to the crude pipelines and tankage assets transferred to the Partnership in 2008. Holly’s indemnification obligations described above do not apply to the 16” Pipeline owned by the Company.
          The Restated Omnibus Agreement provides that the Partnership will indemnify Holly and its affiliates against environmental liabilities relating to the Partnership’s assets to the extent Holly is not required to indemnify the Partnership.
          The Restated Omnibus Agreement also contains the terms under which Holly has a right of first refusal to purchase the Partnership’s assets that serve Holly’s refineries. Before the Partnership enters into any contract to sell pipeline, terminal and tankage assets serving Holly’s refineries, the Partnership must give written notice of the terms of such proposed sale to Holly. The notice must set forth the name of the third party purchaser, the assets to be sold, the purchase price and all other material terms and conditions of the offer. To the extent the third party offer consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash), the purchase price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, determined as set forth in the Restated Omnibus Agreement. Holly will then have the sole and exclusive option for a period of thirty days following receipt of the notice, to elect to purchase the subject assets on the terms specified in the notice.
          The description of the Restated Omnibus Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Restated Omnibus Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Mortgage and Deed of Trust
          On June 1, 2009 in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a mortgage and deed of trust (the “ Mortgage ”) for the benefit of Holly. The Mortgage grants Holly a second priority lien on the 16” Pipeline to secure the Partnership’s performance under the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement. In the event that the Company defaults on its obligations under the Mortgage, Holly

 


 

has the right to take possession of and/or operate the 16” Pipeline and to appoint a receiver for the 16” Pipeline. Events of default under the Mortgage include (i) the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the Mortgage, (ii) the Partnership’s failure to perform specified obligations under the Intermediate Pipelines Agreement and (iii) certain bankruptcy-related events. The Partnership also agreed to protect the lien status of the Mortgage and not to further encumber the 16” Pipeline except for certain customary permitted encumbrances, which include liens in favor of the Partnership’s senior lenders.
          The description of the Mortgage herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Mortgage, filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
          Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety is a copy of a press release issued by Holly and the Partnership on June 1, 2009, announcing the sale by Holly of the 16” Pipeline to the Partnership.
          In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information furnished in this report on Form 8-K pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“ Exchange Act ”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Partnership specifically incorporates it by reference in a document filed under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933. By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing the information pursuant to Item 7.01, the Partnership makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, or that any such information includes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.
          The information furnished in this report on Form 8-K pursuant to Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Partnership’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) filings and other public announcements that the Partnership may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Partnership disclaims any current intention to revise or update the information furnished in this report on Form 8-K pursuant to Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, although the Partnership may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the furnishing or filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.

The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which set forth the Minimum Revenue Commitment on the part of the Holly Entities and require the Partnership Entities to provide certain transportation services to the Holly Entities. The principal objective of the Partnership Entities is for the Holly Entities to meet or exceed the Minimum Revenue Commitment. The principal objective of the Holly Entities is for the Partnership Entities to provide services to the Holly Entities in a manner that enables the Holly Entities to operate their assets in a manner at least as favorably as their historical practice when the Holly Entities were the owners of the Intermediate Product Pipelines.
     (a)  Minimum Revenue Commitment . During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holly Entities agree as follows:
     (i) Subject to Section 3 , during the Term the Holly Entities will transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines an amount of Intermediate Products in the aggregate that will produce revenue to the Partnership Entities in an amount at least equal to $2,956,500 per Contract Quarter as such amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) and Schedule I attached hereto (the “ Minimum Revenue Commitment ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Effective Date is any date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, then the Minimum Revenue Commitment for the initial Contract Quarter shall be prorated based upon the number of days actually in such calendar quarter and the initial Contract Quarter.

5


 

     (ii) The Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing July 1, 2010, by an amount equal to 75% of the upper change in the annual change rounded to four decimal places of the Producers Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods, (PPI), et al. (“ PPI ”), produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Labor Statistics. The series ID is WPUSOP3000 as of December 31, 2007 — located at http://www.bls.gov/data/ . The change factor shall be calculated as follows: annual PPI index (most current year) less annual PPI index (most current year minus 1) divided by annual PPI index (most current year minus 1). An example for year 2006 change is: [PPI (2005) — PPI (2004)] / PPI (2004) or (155.7 — 148.5) / 148.5 or .0485 or 4.85%. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then the annual change will be deemed to be “zero.” If the above index is no longer published, the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Revenue Commitment. If the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f) , and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Revenue Commitment. To evidence the parties’ agreement to each adjusted Minimum Revenue Commitment, Holly (on behalf of the Holly Entities) and Holly GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule I and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule I shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Schedule I-1 , Schedule I-2 , etc.), dated and appended as an additional schedule to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Schedule I in its entirety, except as specified therein.
     (iii) If the Holly Entities are unable for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines the volumes of Intermediate Products required to meet the Minimum Revenue Commitment as a result of the Partnership Entities’ operational difficulties, prorationing, or inability to provide the 100,000 bpd capacity, then upon written notice by the Holly Entities to the Partnership Entities, the Minimum Revenue Commitment will be reduced for such period of time by an amount equal to: (1) the volume of Intermediate Products that the Holly Entities are unable to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines as a result of the Partnership Entities’ operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide the 100,000 bpd capacity multiplied by (2) the applicable tariffs. This Section 2(a)(iii) shall not apply in the event HEP gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with Section 3 , in which case the Holly Entities’ Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be suspended in accordance with and as provided in Section 3 .
     (b)  Tariffs .
     (i) The tariff rates, and the rules and regulations applicable to intrastate service on the Intermediate Product Pipelines shall be as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, as such exhibit may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with this Agreement. The non-incentive tariff rate as of June 1, 2009 of 0.5664 shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing July 1, 2010, by an amount equal to 75% of the percentage change, if any, rounded to four

6


 

decimal places of the PPI calculated in accordance with the method set forth in Section 2(a)(ii) ; provided , however , that if the PPI index change is negative in a given year, then the non-incentive tariff rate shall be decreased by an amount equal to 75% of such percentage change. If the PPI is no longer published, the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the non-incentive tariff rates. If the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f) , and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the non-incentive tariff rates. To evidence the parties agreement to each adjusted tariff rate, Holly (on behalf of the Holly Entities) and Holly GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit B and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit B shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Exhibit B-1 , Exhibit B-2 , etc.), dated and appended as an additional exhibit to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Exhibit B in its entirety, except as specified therein.
     (ii) Holly shall pay the Partnership an incentive tariff (the “ Incentive Tariff ”) equal to $0.2981 per barrel, as of June 1, 2009, for barrels shipped in excess of 100,000 bpd; provided , that the Partnership will receive its full base tariff of $0.5664 per barrel escalated annually at PPI for any and all non-Holly-owned barrels shipped on the Intermediate Product Pipelines.

At the request of the Holly Entities, and subject in each case to any applicable common carrier proration duties, the Partnership Entities agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to transport by pipeline for the Holly Entities each month during the Term 100,000 bpd of Intermediate Products on the Intermediate Product Pipelines.

No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties and, in the case of any amendment or modification adverse to the Partnership Entities, approved by the Conflicts Committee. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced, and, in the case of any waiver by the Partnership Entities, approved by the Conflicts Committee. Except to the extent adverse to the Partnership Entities (in which case the approval of the Conflicts Committee shall also be required), any of the exhibits or schedules to this Agreement may be amended, modified, revised or updated by the Parties if each of Holly (on behalf of the Holly Entities) and Holly GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) execute an amended, modified, revised or updated exhibit or schedule, as applicable, and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated exhibits or schedules shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional exhibit or schedule to this Agreement and shall replace the prior exhibit or schedule, as applicable, in its entirety, except as specified therein. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder, and no course of conduct, shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. No single or partial exercise of a right hereunder shall preclude further or complete exercise of that right or any other right hereunder.
     (c)  Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Any attempt to make an assignment otherwise than as permitted by the foregoing shall be null and void. The Parties agree to require their respective successors, if any, to expressly assume, in a form of agreement acceptable to the other Parties, their obligations under this Agreement.
     (d)  Severability . If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
     (e)  Choice of Law . This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
     (f)  Arbitration Provision . Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 11(f) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11(f) will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“ Claimant ”) serving written notice on the other Party (“ Respondent ”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All

14


 

arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.
     (g)  Rights of Limited Partners . The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no limited partner of the Partnership shall have the right, separate and apart from the Partnership, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
     (h)  Further Assurances .

  45     Gauging, Testing, and Volume Corrections  
Shipments tendered to Carrier for transportation shall be tested by a representative of Carrier, and gauged or measured by automatic equipment approved by Carrier or by other methods acceptable in the industry, at locations designated by Carrier. The Shipper shall have the privilege of being present or represented at the gauging and testing. Quantities will be computed from correctly compiled tank tables or by Carrier approved meters. Corrections will be made for temperature from observed degrees Fahrenheit to sixty degrees (60 ° ) Fahrenheit.
           
Shipper shall bear the actual product losses for shrinkage and evaporation incident to pipeline transportation up to a maximum of twenty-five hundredths (0.25) of a percent.

      3.5 Indemnification Procedures .
          (a) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article III , it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.
          (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article III , including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided , however , that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee in the case of the Partnership Group) unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.
          (c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article III , including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided , however , that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.5 . In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III ; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense.

          (e) The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.

ARTICLE IV
General and Administrative Expenses
      4.1 General
          (a) The Partnership will pay Holly an administrative fee (the “ Administrative Fee ”) in the amount set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement, payable in equal quarterly installments, for the provision by Holly and its Affiliates for the Partnership Group’s benefit of all the general and administrative services that Holly and its Affiliates have traditionally provided in connection with the Assets including, without limitation, the general and administrative services listed on Schedule I to this Agreement. The General Partner, with the approval and consent of the Conflicts Committee, may agree on behalf of the Partnership to increases in the Administrative Fee in connection with expansions of the operations of the Partnership Group through the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.
          (b) At the end of each year, the Partnership will have the right to submit to Holly a proposal to reduce the amount of the Administrative Fee for that year if the Partnership believes, in good faith, that the general and administrative services performed by Holly and its Affiliates for the benefit of the Partnership Group for the year in question do not justify payment of the full Administrative Fee for that year. If the Partnership submits such a proposal to Holly, Holly agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Partnership to determine if the Administrative Fee for that year should be reduced and, if so, by how much.
          (c) The Administrative Fee shall not include and the Partnership Group shall reimburse Holly and its Affiliates for:
               (i) salaries of employees of Holly GP, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group;
               (ii) the cost of employee benefits relating to employees of Holly GP, such as 401(k), pension, and health insurance benefits, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group; and
               (iii) all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time in respect of the services provided by the Holly and its Affiliates to the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.1(a) .
          (d) Either Holly, on the one hand, or the Partnership, on the other hand, may terminate this Article IV , by providing the other with written notice of its election to do so at least one calendar year prior to the proposed date of termination.
ARTICLE V
Right of First Refusal
      5.1 Holly Right of First Refusal .
          (a) The Partnership Group hereby grants to Holly a right of first refusal on any proposed Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender

15


 

or a Transfer to another Partnership Group Member) of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries.
          (b) The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of Sale Assets pursuant to this Article V are subject to obtaining any and all required written consents of governmental authorities and other third parties and to the terms of all existing agreements in respect of the Sale Assets.
      5.2 Procedures .
          (a) If a Partnership Group Member proposes to Transfer any of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries to any Person pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer (an “ Acquisition Proposal ”), then the Partnership shall promptly give written notice (a “ Disposition Notice ”) thereof to Holly. The Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer: the name and address of the prospective acquiror (the “ Proposed Transferee ”), the Assets subject to the Acquisition Proposal (the “ Sale Assets ”), the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee (the “ Offer Price ”), reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow Holly to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, the Partnership Group’s estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal that are then known to the Partnership Group. To the extent the Proposed Transferee’s offer consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash) the Offer Price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. In the event Holly and the Partnership Group agree as to the fair market value of any non-cash consideration, Holly will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets within 30 days of its receipt of the Disposition Notice (the “ First ROFR Acceptance Deadline ”). Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Sale Assets. In the event (i) Holly’s determination of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by Holly within 30 days of receipt of such Disposition Notice) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by the Partnership Group in the Disposition Notice and (ii) Holly and the Partnership Group are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after Holly notifies the Partnership Group of its determination thereof, the Partnership Group and Holly shall engage a mutually-agreed-upon investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. Such investment banking firm shall be instructed to return its decision within 30 days after all material information is submitted thereto, which decision shall be final. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between Holly and the Partnership Group. Holly will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to the Partnership Group within 30 days after the investment banking firm has submitted its determination (the “ Second ROFR Acceptance Deadline ”). Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by Holly not to purchase the Sale Assets. If Holly fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 5.2(a) , Holly shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to such proposed disposition of the Sale Assets, but not with respect to any future offer of Assets.

16


 

          (b) If Holly chooses to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets under Section 5.2(a) , Holly and the Partnership Group shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Sale Assets which shall include the following terms:
               (i) Holly will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (unless Holly and the Partnership Group agree that consideration will be paid by means of an interest-bearing promissory note or equity securities of Holly);
               (ii) the Partnership Group will represent that it has good and indefeasible title to the Sale Assets, subject to all recorded and unrecorded matters and all physical conditions and other matters in existence on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets, plus any other such matters as Holly may approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If Holly desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the Sale Assets, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including but not limited to the cost of title examination, document duplication and policy premium) shall be borne by Holly;
               (iii) the Partnership Group will grant to Holly the right, exercisable at Holly’s risk and expense, to make such surveys, tests and inspections of the Sale Assets as Holly may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the Sale Assets or interfere with the activities of the Partnership Group thereon and so long as Holly has furnished the Partnership Group with evidence that adequate liability insurance is in full force and effect;
               (iv) Holly will have the right to terminate its obligation to purchase the Sale Assets under this Article V if the results of any searches, surveys, tests or inspections conducted pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(ii) or Section 5.2(b)(iii) above are, in the reasonable opinion of Holly, unsatisfactory;
               (v) the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets shall, unless otherwise agreed to by Holly and the Partnership Group, occur no later than 90 days following receipt by the Partnership Group of written notice by Holly of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the Sale Assets pursuant to Section 5.2(a) ;
               (vi) the Partnership Group shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Holly a special warranty deed, assignment of easement, or comparable document, as appropriate, in the applicable jurisdiction, on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets constituting real property interests conveying the Sale Assets unto Holly free and clear of all encumbrances created by the Partnership Group other than those set forth in Section 5.2(b)(ii) above;
               (vii) the sale of any Sale Assets shall be made on an “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, and the instruments conveying such Sale Assets shall contain appropriate disclaimers; and
               (viii) neither the Partnership Group nor Holly shall have any obligation to sell or buy the Sale Assets if any of the material consents referred to in Section 5.1(b) have not been obtained.

17


 

          (c) Holly and the Partnership Group shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other third Person approvals, waivers and consents required for the closing. Any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent required, until the third Business Day following the expiration of any required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; provided , however , that such delay shall not exceed 60 days and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or expired, as the case may be, by such 60th day, then Holly shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal with respect to the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice and thereafter neither Holly nor the Partnership shall have any further obligation under this Article V with respect to such Sale Assets unless such Sale Assets again become subject to this Article V pursuant to Section 5.2(d) .
          (d) If the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Proposal within the later of (A) 180 days after the later of the applicable ROFR Acceptance Deadline, and (B) 10 days after the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to lapse, and the Partnership or member of the Partnership Group may not Transfer any of the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article V if and to the extent then applicable.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
      6.1 Choice of Law . This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.

Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30 day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-

18


 

half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities or any of their affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.

This Deed of Trust shall be construed as a deed of trust on real property and it shall (subject to the Senior Liens) also constitute and serve as a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of, and shall constitute a security interest under, the Uniform Commercial Code (as the same is codified and in effect in New Mexico) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases. To this end, Grantor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, AND SET OVER, and by these presents does GRANT, BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER AND SET OVER, unto Trustee and unto Beneficiary, a security interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases to secure the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

15


 

    statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest.
9.3   Uniform Commercial Code Remedies . Subject, in each case, to the rights of any Lienholder under or pursuant to the Senior Liens, and the terms and provisions of the SNDA and this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and/or Trustee shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses (other than auction and sale rights) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases afforded to it by the aforesaid Uniform Commercial Code (as the same is codified and in effect in New Mexico) in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by this Deed of Trust.
 
9.4   No Obligation of Trustee or Beneficiary . The assignment and security interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Trustee or Beneficiary as a trustee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do same, or to take any action, incur any expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever.
 
9.5   Fixture Filing . This Deed of Trust shall constitute a “fixture filing” for all purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as codified and in effect in New Mexico.

(“ Moody’s ”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“ S&P ”) (or any successor to the rating business of either thereof), then (i) this Deed of Trust shall be null and void, (ii) the liens and security interests created by this Deed of Trust shall be released as promptly as practicable, (iii) the Mortgaged Property shall revert to Grantor (or the transferee in the case of clause (b) above) free and clear of the liens and security interests created by this Deed of Trust, and (iv) Beneficiary and Trustee (as applicable) shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, instruments of satisfaction and release that are reasonably requested by Grantor.

ARTICLE 10
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
10.1   No Required Action . Trustee shall not be required to take any action toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created or to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in connection therewith where in his opinion such action will be likely to involve him in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to him against any and all costs, expense and liabilities arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of the Security Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies and recourses of Beneficiary.
 
10.2   Certain Rights . With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (a) to select, employ and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution and interpretation of the Security Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel; (b) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his agents or attorneys; (c) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith; and (d) to take any and all other lawful action as Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Beneficiary’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by him, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted him, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of his services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties.
 
10.3   Retention of Moneys . All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by

17


 

    law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder.
10.4   Successor Trustees . Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or shall fail or refuse to execute the same when requested by Beneficiary so to do, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the Board of Directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or his successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
 
10.5   Perfection of Appointment . Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to such new Trustee such estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
 
10.6   Succession Instruments . Any new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the successor Trustee so appointed in its or his place.
 
10.7   No Representation by Trustee . By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to the Security Documents, including but not limited to, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty, consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or Beneficiary.

18


 

ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1   Performance at Grantor’s Expense . The cost and expense of performing or complying with any and all of the Obligations shall be borne solely by Grantor and/or the other Partnership Entities to the extent provided in the Pipelines Agreement.
 
11.2   Survival of Obligations . Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Security Documents and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations have been performed and discharged in full.
 
11.3   Further Assurances . Grantor, upon the request of Trustee or Beneficiary, will execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Security Documents and to subject to the liens and security interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or appurtenances to the then Mortgaged Property.
 
11.4   Recording and Filing . Grantor will cause the Security Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places as Trustee or Beneficiary shall reasonably request, and will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.
 
11.5   Notices . All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or by delivering same in person to the intended addressee or by prepaid telegram. Notice so mailed shall be effective two days following its deposit. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of Beneficiary and Grantor shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(b) and the opening paragraph hereinabove, respectively; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party in the manner set forth hereinabove.
 
11.6   No Waiver . Any failure by Trustee or Beneficiary to insist, or any election by Trustee or Beneficiary not to insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other terms, provision or condition thereof and Trustee or Beneficiary shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all of such terms, provisions and conditions.
 
11.7   Beneficiary’s Right to Perform the Obligations . If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Security Documents (after

19


 

    giving effect to any applicable notice and cure period), then at any time thereafter, and without further notice to or demand upon Grantor and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may have because of same, Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Grantor, and shall have the right to enter upon or in the Real Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate but in any case subject to the rights of any Lienholder arising under or pursuant to the Senior Liens and the terms and provisions of the SNDA. If Beneficiary shall elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Entity or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Security Documents, Beneficiary shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Grantor shall indemnify Beneficiary for all losses, expenses, damage, claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.7 or by reason of any other provision in the Security Documents. All sums paid by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 11.7 and all other sums expended by Beneficiary to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary upon demand.

11.10   Severability . The Security Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. If any provision of any of the Security Documents or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable neither the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
 
11.11   Entire Agreement and Modification . The Security Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Grantor and, by its acceptance hereof, Beneficiary hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that any of the terms or

20


 

    provisions of this Deed of Trust conflict with any terms or provisions of the Pipelines Agreement, the terms or provisions of the Pipelines Agreement shall govern and control for all purposes. The Security Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments (a) executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted, and (b) consented to by the Lienholders to the extent any such amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination would be materially adverse to the rights of any such Lienholder. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
11.12   Counterparts . This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.
 
11.13   Applicable Law .

11.14   No Partnership . Nothing contained in the Security Documents is intended to, or shall be construed as, creating to any extent and in any manner whatsoever, any partnership, joint venture, or association between Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary, or in any way make Beneficiary or Trustee coprincipals with Grantor with reference to the Mortgaged Property, and any inferences to the contrary are hereby expressly negated.
 
11.15   Headings . The Article, Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections.
 
11.16   Waiver of Stay, Moratorium, and Similar Rights . Grantor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary or any rights or remedies Beneficiary may have thereunder, hereunder or by law.
 
11.17   Transfer of Mortgaged Property . No sale, lease, exchange, assignment, conveyance or other transfer (each, a “ Transfer ”) of the Mortgaged Property will extinguish the lien or security interest created by this Deed of Trust, except to the extent provided in Section 9.6 of this Deed of Trust or in the Pipelines Agreement. As a condition to any Transfer, Beneficiary may (a) require the express assumption of the Obligations by the transferee

21

11.18   Estoppel Certificates . Grantor and Beneficiary agree to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of the other party, a certificate regarding the status of the Pipelines Agreement, consisting of statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Pipelines Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which payments have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Pipelines Agreement, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Pipelines Agreement, (e) to such party’s actual knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Pipelines Agreement, (f) to such party’s actual knowledge without investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist against the other party under the Pipelines Agreement, and (g) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested.
 
11.19   Final Agreement . Grantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this instrument at the time of execution hereof. Grantor acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in this Deed of Trust, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized to make any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters addressed in this Deed of Trust. THE WRITTEN AGREEMENTS HEREIN REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Attachment 1-2


 

AGREEMENTS :
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Administrative Agent and Holly hereby covenant and agree as follows:
     1.  Subordination of Holly Mortgage .
          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 hereof, the Subordinated Liens of Holly under the Holly Mortgage and all of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Holly Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and options of Holly thereunder, are and shall at all times continue to be subject, subordinate and inferior in all respects to the Senior Loan Documents and any Future Senior Mortgage and to the liens and security interests thereof and to all amendments, modifications, and replacements thereof, with the same force and effect as if the Senior Loan Documents, or if applicable, the Future Senior Mortgage, had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution, delivery and recordation of the Holly Mortgage. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed, to (i) subordinate the rights and interests of Holly under the Pipelines Agreement (including Holly’s right to quiet enjoyment under the Pipelines Agreement or any claims, remedies or damages that may be due or available to, or become due or available to, Holly under the Pipelines Agreement), or (ii) subordinate the Holly Mortgage to any mortgage, deed of trust, assignment, security agreement, financing statement or other security document, other than, with respect to clause (ii), the Senior Loan Documents and the Future Senior Mortgage. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair, as between HEP, Operating, Grantor or any other Partnership Entity (as defined in the Pipelines Agreement), on the one hand, and Holly, on the other hand, the obligations of HEP, Operating, Grantor and any such other Partnership Entity, which are absolute and unconditional, to perform the HEP Obligations in accordance with their terms.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Holly Mortgage to the contrary, Holly hereby acknowledges and agrees, and Grantor by its consent to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees, that (i) in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Holly Mortgage, the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control for all purposes; and (ii) without the written prior consent of the Administrative Agent or the beneficiary of any Future Senior Mortgage (together with the Credit Parties, the “ Senior Beneficiaries ”), neither Holly nor Grantor (nor any future owner of the Mortgaged Property) will amend, revise, supplement, replace, restate, or otherwise modify the Holly Mortgage if such amendment, revision, supplement, replacement, restatement or other modification would be materially adverse to the rights of any Senior Beneficiary.
     2.  Relative Rights and Priorities . Subject to the provisions of Section 1, Section 3 and Section 4 hereof:
          (a) Until the Senior Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement (or if applicable, any agreement governing obligations secured by a Future Senior Mortgage) have terminated, and all letters of credit issued thereunder have been terminated and returned (the “ Senior Obligations Payment Date ”), Holly will not (i) commence any foreclosure (whether a judicial foreclosure or non-

Attachment 1-3


 

judicial foreclosure) of the Holly Mortgage, (ii) accept a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) otherwise exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Holly Mortgage, or (iv) take any Enforcement Action.
          (b) Holly agrees that, until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred:
               (i) it will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Subordinated Lien pari passu with or senior to, or to give Holly any preference or priority relative to, the liens and security interests with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations;
               (ii) it will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding (as herein defined)) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Holly Mortgage and with the same meaning herein as therein defined) by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or any other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf of any of the Senior Beneficiaries;
               (iii) it has no right to ¡ direct any of the Senior Beneficiaries to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage or ¡ consent or object to the exercise by any of the Senior Beneficiaries of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (iii), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right);
               (iv) it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any of the Senior Beneficiaries seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and none of the Senior Beneficiaries shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of the Senior Beneficiaries with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage; and
               (v) the Senior Beneficiaries shall have the prior right to collect and receive any and all proceeds which may be paid or distributed in respect of the Mortgaged Property in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise arising from any sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property.
          (c) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, Holly agrees that it shall not, in, or in connection with, any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case, that is inconsistent with the terms or spirit of, or intent of the parties with respect to, this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any liens or claims held by any of the Senior Beneficiaries (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or the value of any claims of such parties under the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that Holly may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency

Attachment 1-4


 

Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations imposed hereby; provided further , that if no proof of claim is filed in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the HEP Obligations by the 10th day prior to the bar date for such proof of claim, the Senior Beneficiaries may (but shall have no duty or obligation to), after notice to Holly, file such proof of claim, provided that the foregoing shall not confer to any Senior Beneficiary the right to vote on behalf of Holly in any insolvency proceeding.
          (d) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the owner of the Mortgaged Property, any of the Senior Beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Mortgaged Property, without any consultation with or consent of Holly. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage, any of the Senior Beneficiaries may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations and the Mortgaged Property in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion.
          (e) To the extent required, Holly hereby consents to the liens and security interests created by the Senior Mortgages and any Future Senior Mortgage, and Holly shall not object to or contest, or support any other person or entity in contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged Property granted in favor of any of the Senior Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any failure by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Holly or their respective representatives to perfect their liens in the Mortgaged Property or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the liens in the Mortgaged Property granted in favor of any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Holly, the priority and rights as between any of the Senior Beneficiaries and Holly and its representatives with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall be as set forth herein.
     As used in this Section 2, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
     “ Enforcement Action ” means any demand for payment or acceleration thereof, the bringing of any lawsuit or other proceeding, the exercise of any rights and remedies, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, any enforcement or foreclosure of any lien or security interest, any sale in lieu of foreclosure, the taking of possession, exercise of any offset, repossession, garnishment, sequestration or execution, any collection of any Mortgaged Property, any notice to account debtors on any Mortgaged Property or the commencement or prosecution of enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents or applicable law, including without limitation the exercise of any rights of set-off or recoupment, and the exercise of any rights or remedies of a secured creditor under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time or otherwise; provided, that, neither the exercise or enforcement by Holly of its rights under the Pipelines Agreement, nor the filing of a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, shall constitute an Enforcement Action.

Attachment 1-5


 

     “ Insolvency Proceeding ” means any proceeding in respect of bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, receivership, dissolution or assignment for the benefit of creditors, in each of the foregoing events whether under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time or any similar federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law.
     3.  Recognition and Non-Disturbance of Holly Mortgage . If Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or any other person (Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or such other person being herein called a “ Purchaser ”) shall become the owner of any part of the Property by reason of the foreclosure (whether a judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure) of a Senior Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (any of such being herein called a “ Foreclosure Event ”), then for so long as the Pipelines Agreement is in effect, the Purchaser shall (i) recognize the Holly Mortgage, and the Holly Mortgage shall not be terminated or affected thereby, but shall continue in full force and effect upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Holly Mortgage, and (ii) be bound by and subject to all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Holly Mortgage; provided, that, the Holly Mortgage shall be subordinated to any Future Senior Mortgage, regardless of whether such Future Senior Mortgage is a direct replacement of an existing Senior Mortgage or Security Instrument, and any such Future Senior Mortgage shall be considered a “Senior Mortgage” for purposes of this Agreement and the Holly Mortgage. Administrative Agent shall not claim, or seek adjudication, that the Holly Mortgage has been terminated or otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure Event.
     4.  Pipelines Agreement . Administrative Agent recognizes and confirms that the Pipelines Agreement, and the rights and interests of Holly thereunder, shall in no way be restricted, limited or otherwise affected by this Agreement, the Holly Mortgage, the Senior Mortgages, any Future Senior Mortgage, the Security Instruments or any liens or security interests thereof; provided, however, that, Holly agrees that nothing in the Pipelines Agreement shall (a) prevent any Purchaser or subsequent purchaser from owning or operating the Mortgaged Property, so long as such Purchaser or subsequent purchaser shall have assumed, and be in compliance with, the Partnership Entities’ (as defined in the Pipelines Agreement) obligations under the Pipelines Agreement and shall have executed an “SNDA” as defined in, and in accordance with, Article 6 of the Holly Mortgage, or (b) be deemed to invalidate or require the release of any Senior Beneficiary’s liens in the Mortgaged Property in connection with the exercise by Holly of a purchase option under the Pipelines Agreement or otherwise. Holly shall not amend, modify or supplement the Pipelines Agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, that, such amendments, modifications or supplements may be made without the consent of the Majority Banks if such amendments, modifications or supplements (i) individually or in the aggregate, are not materially adverse to the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Financial Institutions, and (ii) individually or in the aggregate, do not materially decrease the economic benefit that Operating would have otherwise received pursuant to such agreement. Administrative Agent, both for itself and for any Purchaser, further agrees that upon any Foreclosure Event, the Pipelines Agreement shall not be terminated or affected thereby, nor shall Holly’s right to ship or store petroleum products through the pipelines or in the terminals, respectively, constituting a portion of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Pipelines Agreement (or any other rights of Holly under the Pipelines Agreement) be affected or disturbed because of the Foreclosure

Attachment 1-6


 

Event, but rather the Pipelines Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as direct obligations between the Purchaser and Holly, upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Pipelines Agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall claim, or seek adjudication, that the Pipelines Agreement has been terminated or otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Pipelines Agreement is rejected in bankruptcy or is otherwise terminated, the Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by Holly, enter into a Pipelines Agreement with Holly on substantially the same terms (and with tariffs and minimum volumes commensurate with those then applicable under the Pipelines Agreement) and conditions as the rejected or terminated Pipelines Agreement, but having a term commencing on the date on which Purchaser acquired title to any portion of the Property. The immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a covenant running with the land and shall be binding on any person or entity that acquires title to all or party of the Property by, through or under a Senior Mortgage.
     5.  Attornment With Respect to the Pipelines Agreement . Upon the occurrence of any Foreclosure Event, Holly shall attorn to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall accept such attornment, and the Purchaser and Holly shall be bound to each other under all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Pipelines Agreement; provided , that , except for Holly’s express rights and remedies under the Pipelines Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty of HEP, Grantor or any other Partnership Entity (as defined in the Pipelines Agreement) (or any owner of the Mortgaged Property prior to such Purchaser) or obligations accruing prior to Purchaser’s actual ownership of the Property. The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Holly shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such party. Holly agrees, however, to execute and deliver upon the request of Purchaser, any instrument or certificate which in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.
     6.  Estoppel Certificate . Holly agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of any of the Senior Beneficiaries, a certificate regarding the status of the Pipelines Agreement, consisting of statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Pipelines Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which payments have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Pipelines Agreement, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Pipelines Agreement, (e) to Holly’s actual knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Pipelines Agreement, (f) to Holly’s actual knowledge without investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist against HEP or any other Partnership Entity (as defined in the Pipelines Agreement) under the Pipelines Agreement, and (g) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested.
     7.  [Intentionally Omitted] .
     8.  Reliance on Notices . Grantor agrees that Holly may rely upon any and all notices from Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, even if such conflict with notices from Grantor.

Holly Energy Partners Announces Acquisition of New Mexico Pipeline
Acquires Holly Corporation’s New Lovington to Artesia, NM Pipeline
DALLAS, TX, June 1, 2009 — Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:HEP) and Holly Corporation (“Holly”) (NYSE:HOC) today announced the acquisition by Holly Energy from Holly of a newly constructed 16” pipeline connecting Holly’s refining facilities in Lovington, New Mexico to Holly’s refining facilities in Artesia, New Mexico.
The purchase price for this pipeline was $34.2 million which was paid in cash. The acquisition was financed through HEP’s revolving credit facility. In addition to the above purchase price, Holly Energy has invested $7.9 million for additional pipeline infrastructure improvements on the intermediate pipelines between Holly’s Lovington and Artesia, New Mexico refining facilities.
Holly Energy expects this pipeline acquisition will result in approximately $6.6 million of incremental annual revenue.
In connection with this transaction, Holly and Holly Energy are restructuring the Holly Intermediate Pipelines Agreement (“Holly IPA”) to incorporate this new pipeline and improvements under the Holly IPA, to increase the minimum revenue commitment on the part of Holly, and to extend the term of the agreement by four years to June 1, 2024.
This transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors for both Holly and Holly Energy after approvals by the Holly Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of outside directors of Holly, and the Conflicts Committee for Holly Energy, which is comprised solely of independent outside directors for Holly Energy.
“We are pleased that Holly Energy was able to acquire another key logistic asset from Holly. This pipeline will support expanded volumes from the recent Navajo Refinery expansion and contribute additional revenues for Holly Energy”, said Matt Clifton, Chairman and CEO of Holly and Holly Energy.
