and the

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. Claimants
notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The
Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimants notice,

Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondents 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 arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been
officers, directors or employees of any of Seller, Buyer 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. Seller, Buyer 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
Holly Refining & Marketing Tulsa LLC
HEP Tulsa LLC
16
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. The Arbitrable Disputes may be
arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Seller,
Buyer or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related.

joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

appropriate parties;
(v) All rights reserved to or vested in any governmental, statutorial or public
authority to control or regulate any such property;
(vi) All easements, restrictions, reservations and covenants now of record;
(vii) Any matters that are waived without reservation in writing by Assignee or
otherwise released or satisfied by Assignor on or prior to the Effective Time; and
(viii) Any encumbrances that do not materially impair the continued use and operation
of any of the Equipment to which they relate and do not materially affect the value of the
Equipment to which they relate.
Licensee shall be permitted to pledge or collaterally assign its rights in and to this
Agreement to any lender or creditor of Licensee who has a security interest in all or any part of
the Equipment (each, together with such partys successors, assigns, and designees, a
Licensees
Lender
). This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Licensee and its
successors and assigns, including without limitation, any Licensees Lender, and Licensor agrees to
be bound under this Agreement to any such successor or assign, including any Licensees Lender, as
if the Licenses were originally granted to such successor or assign. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if any Licensees Lender acquires all or any part of the Equipment
pursuant to a security interest in the Equipment granted by Licensee in favor of Licensees Lender,
whether by foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then (i)
2
this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to such Licensees Lender with respect to the
Equipment acquired by such Licensees Lender and Licensor shall recognize such Licensees Lender as
the Licensee hereunder with respect to such Equipment, and (ii) if requested by Licensees
Lender, Licensor shall enter into a new license agreement with Licensees Lender with respect to
the Equipment acquired by such Licensees Lender on substantially the same terms and conditions as
this Agreement, including without limitation the right of the Licensee to convert this Agreement
into the Converted Easement (as hereinafter defined).
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Licensor and its successors
and assigns to the extent such successors and assigns control, are controlled by, or are under
common control with, Licensor. Licensor agrees to give Licensee not less than 60 days prior
written notice of Licensors intent to sell or otherwise transfer its rights in and to all or any
part of the Refinery Site to a third-party. In the event of such a transfer to a third-party,
Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of such third-party to
assume the obligations of Licensor under this Agreement with respect to any of the Equipment
affected by the transfer to such third-party.
At any time after the expiration or termination of that certain Tulsa Equipment and Throughput
Agreement dated as of August 1, 2009, by and between Licensor and Licensee, as amended or modified
(the
Throughput Agreement
), Licensee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to convert
this Agreement and the Licenses granted herein into a perpetual easement (the
Converted Easement
)
on the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, except that the Converted Easement shall be
perpetual in nature subject to the express termination provisions set forth herein. Upon
Licensees election, Licensor and Licensee shall execute and acknowledge such Converted Easement,
and thereafter Licensee shall have the right to record the Converted Easement in the real property
records of the county in which the Equipment Sites and Refinery Site are located.
The Licenses granted hereunder are coupled with an interest. Accordingly, this Agreement may
not be terminated in whole or in part except (a) with the mutual consent of Licensor and Licensee,
(b) if Licensor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains ownership of all or any part of the
Equipment, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to such
acquired Equipment, (c) if any Equipment is destroyed and not rebuilt, dismantled, removed, or
moved from the location on which it existed as of the Effective Time, in which event this Agreement
shall automatically terminate with respect to any such Equipment, (d) if Licensee (or its
successors or assigns) no longer owns all or any part of the Equipment for any other reason, in
which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to any such Equipment no
longer owned by Licensee (or its successors or assigns); or (e) if Licensee becomes fee title owner
of any Equipment Sites, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to
any Equipment situated on the Equipment Sites so owned by Licensee.
Licensor and Licensee agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other such additional
instruments, notices and documents, and to do all such other and further acts and things, as may be
reasonably necessary or useful to more fully and effectively evidence and effect the grant and
conveyance by Licensor to Licensee of the Licenses granted hereunder or intended to be so granted.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if this Agreement (or
3
any Converted Easement) automatically terminates with respect to any or all of the Equipment,
Licensor shall be permitted, and Licensee hereby authorizes Licensor, to file or record any
instrument in any public records as Licensor deems to be appropriate evidencing such termination in
whole or in part of this Agreement; Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such
instrument does not need to be executed or notarized by Licensee to be effective.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
of Oklahoma without regard to any conflicts of law rule that would direct application of the laws
of another jurisdiction. All Exhibits attached hereto are hereby made a part hereof and
incorporated herein by this reference. References in such Exhibits to instruments on file in the
public records are made for all purposes. Unless provided otherwise, all recording references in
such Exhibits are to the appropriate records of the counties in which the Licenses are located.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Separate grants of certain parts of the Licenses may be executed on officially approved forms
by Licensor to Licensee in sufficient counterparts to satisfy applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements. Any such separate assignments or counterparts shall be deemed to contain all of the
exceptions, reservations, rights, titles, powers and privileges set forth herein as fully as though
they were set forth in each such assignment or counterpart. The interests conveyed by such
separate assignments or counterparts are the same, and not in addition to, the Licenses conveyed
herein.

acquire Subject Assets with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of Holly) equal to or greater than $5 million, then subject to
Section 2.3(b)
,
then as soon as practicable, Holly GP or such Holly Group Member shall notify
8
the General Partner of such opportunity and deliver to the General Partner, or provide the General
Partner access to, all information prepared by or on behalf of, or material information submitted

Group Member that either (i) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected not to
cause a Partnership Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Subject Assets, or (ii)
the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected to cause a Partnership Group Member
to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Subject Assets. If, at any time, the General Partner

Section
2.3(a)
may pursue such opportunity. Any Subject Assets which are permitted to be acquired by

Member becomes aware of an opportunity to make an acquisition that includes both Subject Assets and
assets that are not Subject Assets and the Subject Assets have a fair market value (as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holly) equal to or greater than $5 million but comprise
less than half of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
Holly) of the total assets being considered for acquisition or (ii) Holly GP or a Holly Group
Member desires to construct Subject Assets with an estimated construction cost (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of Holly) equal to or greater than $5 million, then Holly GP
or the Holly Group Member may make such acquisition without first offering the opportunity to the
Partnership or may construct such Subject Assets as long as it complies with the following
procedures:
(i) Within 90 days after the consummation of the acquisition or the completion of construction
by Holly GP or a Holly Group Member of the Subject Assets, as the case may be, Holly GP or the
Holly Group Member shall notify the General Partner in writing of such acquisition or construction
and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with
this
Section 2.3(b)
(the
Offer
). The Offer shall set forth the terms relating to
the purchase of the Subject Assets and, if Holly GP or any Holly Group Member desires to utilize
the Subject Assets, the Offer will also include the commercially reasonable terms on which the
Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to enable Holly GP or
the Holly Group Member to utilize the Subject Assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event
within 30 days after receipt of such written notification, the General Partner shall notify Holly
GP or the Holly Group Member in writing that either (x) the General Partner has elected not to
cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event Holly GP or the
Holly Group Member shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Subject Assets, or (y)
the General Partner has elected to cause a Partnership
9
Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the following procedures shall
apply.
(ii) If Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the General Partner within 60 days after
receipt by the General Partner of the Offer are able to agree on the fair market value of the
Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the Offer including, without
limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or
the Holly Group Member to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, a Partnership Group Member shall
purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially
practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with
Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer.
(iii) If Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the General Partner are unable to agree within
60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer on the fair market value of the Subject
Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other terms of the Offer including, if applicable, the
terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to
enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, Holly GP or the Holly Entity and the General Partner will
engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the
Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the Holly
Group Member are unable to agree. Such investment banking firm will determine the fair market value
of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the
Holly Group Member are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish Holly GP or the
Holly Group Member and the General Partner its determination. The fees of the investment banking
firm will be split equally between Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the Partnership Group.
Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the fair market value of the
Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the Holly
Group Member are unable to agree, the General Partner will have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as
modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. The Partnership Group will provide
written notice of its decision to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member within 30 days after the
investment banking firm has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within
such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Subject Assets. If
the General Partner elects to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then
the Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by
the determination of the investment banking firm as soon as commercially practicable after such
determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with Holly GP or the Holly Group Member
to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the
investment banking firm, if applicable.

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 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. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party
informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
retain sole control over such defense.
(d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification
will be reduced by all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities
(other than insurance policies) from third Persons. An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to
pursue all contractual indemnities that such Indemnified Party has with third Persons outside of
this Agreement,
provided
,
however
, if the Indemnified Partys right to such
indemnification is assignable, the Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of
pursuing such claim, elect to assign such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party to pursue
and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (including, without limitation, making
its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the
Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Partys pursuit of such claim. In the event the
Indemnified Party recovers under a contractual indemnity from a third Person outside of this
Agreement, the amount recovered, less the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses
15
incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts, shall reduce the amount such
Indemnified Party may recover under this
Article III
and if the Indemnified Party receives
any such amounts subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party in respect of
such losses, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any
payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such
indemnification payment up to the amount so received by the Indemnified Party.
(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.
3.6

indemnification obligations of the Holly Entities in
Article III
, the definition of Holly

(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:

Partnership pursuant to

(a) The Partnership Entities hereby grant 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 or a Transfer
to another Partnership Group Member) of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities refineries.
(b) The Partnership Entities are prohibited from Transferring any of the Assets that serve the
Holly Entities refineries to a Partnership Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement. In
the event the Partnership Entities wish to Transfer any of the Assets that serve the Holly
Entities refineries to a Partnership Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement, they
shall first cause the proposed transferee Partnership Group Member to become a party to this
Agreement.
17

Sale Assets.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in
Article V

5.2
Procedures
.
(a) If a Partnership Entity 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
Entities 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 Entities.
To the extent the Proposed Transferees 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 Entities
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) Hollys 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 Entities in the Disposition
Notice and (ii) Holly and the Partnership Entities are unable to mutually agree upon the fair
market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after Holly notifies the Partnership
Entities of its determination thereof, the Partnership Entities 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 Entities.
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 Entities 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.
18
(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 Entities 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 (or any other consideration agreed to
by Holly and the Partnership Entities (each in their sole discretion));
(ii) the Partnership Entities will represent that they have 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 Entities will grant to Holly the right, exercisable at Hollys 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 Entities thereon and so long as Holly has furnished the
Partnership Entities 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 Entities, occur no later than 90 days following receipt by the
Partnership Entities 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 Entities 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 Entities 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 Entities 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(c)
have not been
obtained or such sale or purchase is prohibited by Applicable Law.
19
(c) Holly and the Partnership Entities 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 120 days and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or
expired, as the case may be, by such 120th 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
Partnership Entity 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
Holly Purchase Option
6.1
Option to Purchase Tulsa Transferred Assets

. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
7.2
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 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal
Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 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. Claimants notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the
arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after
receipt of Claimants notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed.
20
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
Respondents 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-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. The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under
other agreements between the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities or their Affiliates to the
extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of Holly,
on behalf of the Holly Entities, and the Partnership, on behalf of the Partnership Entities, no
unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this
Agreement.

Agreement to Use Tulsa Loading Racks
The parties intend to be strictly bound by the commercial terms set forth in this Agreement.
The principal objective of HEP Tulsa is for Tulsa Refining to meet or exceed the 12,500 bpd minimum
volume commitment as calculated on a monthly basis.
(a)
Throughput and Rate; Minimum Revenue Commitment
. During the Term and subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tulsa Refining agrees as follows:
(i) Subject to
Section 3
, Tulsa Refining will load or unload by tanker truck or rail
car at the Tulsa Loading Racks an amount of Products in the aggregate that will satisfy the Minimum
Revenue Commitment for each contract month. The
Minimum Revenue Commitment
shall be an
amount of revenue to HEP Tulsa for each contract month determined by multiplying the Minimum
Throughput times the Base Tariff.
(ii) Tulsa Refining will pay HEP Tulsa a fee of $0.60 per barrel (the
Base Tariff
),
as such Base Tariff may be revised pursuant to
Section 2(a)(iii)
and
Schedule I
attached hereto, for the first 12,500 bpd of Products calculated on a monthly basis, or such other
amount of Products that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to
Section 3
(the
Minimum Throughput
), received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks and a fee of
$0.30 per barrel (the
Incentive Tariff
), as such Incentive Tariff may be revised pursuant
to
Section 2(a)(iii)
and
Schedule I
attached hereto, for volumes in excess of the
Minimum Throughput received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks. No later than 15 days
after the end of each month during the Term, Tulsa Refining shall: (A) provide HEP Tulsa with a
report detailing the number of barrels of Products received at or shipped from the Tulsa Refinery
via the Tulsa Loading Racks for that month and (B) within ten days after receiving an invoice from
HEP Tulsa, pay HEP
5
Tulsa the payment owed pursuant to this
Section 2(a)(ii)
and
Section 11
.
Payments not received by HEP Tulsa on or prior to the applicable payment date will accrue interest
at the Prime Rate from the applicable payment date until paid.
(iii) Each of the Base Tariff and the Incentive Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each
Contract Year by an amount equal to 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;
provided
,
however
, that such adjustment shall not exceed 3.0% in any Contract Year. 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%, which would then be rounded down to 3.0% so as not to exceed the 3.0% cap. If the
PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the Base Tariff or the
Incentive Tariff. If the above index is no longer published, the Parties 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
Base Tariff and the Incentive Tariff. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be
determined by binding arbitration in accordance with
Section 13(f)
, and the same method of
adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Base Tariff
and the Incentive Tariff. To evidence the Parties agreement to each adjusted Base Tariff and
Incentive Tariff, the Parties 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.
(b)
Operation and Maintenance of Tulsa Loading Racks
.
(i) During the Term, (1) HEP Tulsa hereby retains Tulsa Refining, and Tulsa Refining hereby
accepts such retention, to (at Tulsa Refinings sole cost and expense) manage, operate and maintain

purposes of this Agreement, so that the Tulsa Loading Racks may be utilized to load or unload at

Tulsa Loading Racks or (y) pay HEP Tulsa an amount equal to the replacement cost of such damaged or
destroyed Tulsa Loading Racks. In the event the Parties are unable to agree on the replacement
cost of the Tulsa Loading Racks, the replacement cost shall be determined by binding arbitration in
accordance with
Section 13(f)
.

evidence the Parties agreement to each new expansion or modification project or the completion,
termination or revision of previously agreed to expansion or modification project or the
modification of the terms of this Agreement in connection with the addition, completion,
termination or revision of such expansion or modification projects, the Parties shall execute an

to the volume of Products received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks for purposes of
verifying Tulsa Refinings compliance with
Section 2(a)(ii)
. Any review, audit or
investigation undertaken by HEP Tulsa shall be at HEP Tulsas own cost and expense.
(g)
Monthly Surcharge
. If new laws or regulations are enacted that require HEP Tulsa
to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with respect to the Tulsa Loading Racks,
HEP Tulsa may impose a monthly surcharge to cover HEP Tulsas cost of complying with these laws or
regulations. Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply
with these laws and regulations and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of these
laws and regulations and to determine the level of the monthly surcharge. If the Parties are
unable to agree on the level of the monthly surcharge, such surcharge will be determined by binding
arbitration in accordance with
Section 13(f)
. Any applicable exhibit or schedule to this

Section 3.
Exceptions to Tulsa Refinings Obligations
(a)
Shut Down or Reconfiguration of Tulsa Refinery
. Tulsa Refining must deliver to
HEP Tulsa at least six months advance written notice of any planned shut down or reconfiguration
(excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) of the Tulsa Refinery or any portion of the Tulsa
Refinery that would reduce the Tulsa Refinerys output. Tulsa Refining will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate any reduction in revenues or throughput obligations under this
Agreement that would result from such a shut down or reconfiguration. If Tulsa Refining shuts down
or reconfigures the Tulsa Refinery or any portion of the Tulsa Refinery (excluding planned
maintenance turnarounds) and reasonably believes in good faith that such shut down or
reconfiguration will jeopardize its ability to satisfy its Minimum Revenue Commitment under this
Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or
reconfiguration unless it is exercising its right to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to
Section 3(a) of the Purchase Option Agreement, Tulsa Refining shall (i) propose a new Minimum
Revenue Commitment, such that the ratio of the new Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement
over the anticipated production level following the shut down or reconfiguration will be
approximately equal to the ratio of the original Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement
over the original production level and (ii) propose the date on which the new Minimum Revenue
Commitment shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Tulsa within 60 days of receipt by HEP
Tulsa of such proposal, such new Minimum Revenue Commitment shall become effective as of the date
proposed by Tulsa Refining. To the extent that HEP Tulsa does not agree with Tulsa Refinings
proposal, any changes in Tulsa Refinings obligations under this Agreement, or the date on which
such changes will take effect, will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with
Section 13(f)
.
Schedule I
or any other applicable exhibit or schedule to this
Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to
reflect any change in Tulsa Refinings Minimum Revenue Commitment agreed to in accordance with this
Section 3(a)
.
8
(b)
Force Majeure
. In the event that any party is rendered unable, wholly or in part,
by a Force Majeure event from performing its obligations under this Agreement for a period of more
than 30 days, then upon the delivery of notice and full particulars of the Force Majeure event in
writing within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the Force Majeure event relied on, the
obligations of the parties, so far as they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be
suspended for the duration of any inability so caused. Any suspension of the obligations of the
parties as a result of this
Section 3(b)
shall extend the Term. Tulsa Refining will be
required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure
event. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all
reasonable dispatch, except that no party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or
other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. In the
event a Force Majeure event prevents HEP Tulsa or Tulsa Refining from performing its obligations
under this Agreement for a period of more than one year, this Agreement may be terminated by HEP
Tulsa or Tulsa Refining.
Section 4.

With respect to any Products that are produced at the Tulsa Refinery and handled at any Tulsa
Loading Rack, Tulsa Refining agrees that it will continue its historical commercial practice of
owning such Products handled at a Tulsa Loading Rack and to continue acting in the capacity of the

(c)
Indemnification Procedures
.
(i) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to
a claim for indemnification under this
Section 5
, it will provide notice thereof in writing
to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.
(ii) 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
Section 5
, 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 unless it includes a
full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.
(iii) 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
Section 5
, 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 5(c)
. In no event shall the obligation of
the
11
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
Section 5
;
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.
The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as
to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole
control over such defense.
(iv) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification
will be reduced by all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities
(other than insurance policies) from third Persons. An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to
pursue all contractual indemnities that such Indemnified Party has with third Persons outside of
this Agreement,
provided
,
however
, if the Indemnified Partys right to such
indemnification is assignable, the Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of
pursuing such claim, elect to assign such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party to pursue
and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (including, without limitation, making
its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the
Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Partys pursuit of such claim. In the event the
Indemnified Party recovers under a contractual indemnity from a third Person outside of this
Agreement, the amount recovered, less the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by
the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts, shall reduce the amount such Indemnified Party
may recover under this
Section 5
and if the Indemnified Party receives any such amounts
subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such losses, then
such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or
expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification
payment up to the amount so received by the Indemnified Party.
(v) The Indemnifying Partys indemnification obligations, and the Indemnified Partys
entitlement to indemnification, are subject to the limitation on damages contained in
Section
13(i)
.
(d)
Survival of Indemnification
. The provisions of this
Section 5
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement (including any termination following the sale of the
Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to the Purchase Option Agreement).
Section 6.
Consent to Third-Party Operator
If at any time Tulsa Refining does not operate, maintain and manage the Tulsa Loading Racks,
then the written consent of Tulsa Refining, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, shall
be required before any Person, other than the owner of the Tulsa Loading Racks or its Affiliates,
operates, maintains or manages the Tulsa Loading Racks. This
Section 6
shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and shall automatically terminate at such time as the Tulsa Refinery
and the Tulsa Loading Racks are owned by the same Person or an Affiliate of such Person.

Section 7.
Effectiveness and Term

Section 3(b)
or by
written mutual agreement of the Parties hereto or as set forth in
Section 8
or earlier
terminated pursuant to the Purchase Option Agreement (the
Term
). In the event Tulsa
Refining desires to extend this Agreement, it shall provide prior written notice to HEP Tulsa of
its desire to so extend this Agreement; such written notice shall be provided not more than

termination or ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from HEP Tulsa (which request may
be delivered no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination) to provide any

Section 8.
Right to Enter into a New Agreement
(a) In the event that Tulsa Refining provides prior written notice to HEP Tulsa of the desire
of Tulsa Refining to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties
shall negotiate in good faith to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement, but, if such
negotiations fail to produce a written mutual agreement for extension by a date six months prior to
the termination date, then HEP Tulsa shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more
throughput agreements with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination,
provided that until the end of one year following termination without renewal of this Agreement,
Tulsa Refining will have the right to enter into a new throughput agreement with HEP Tulsa on
commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa proposes to enter into an
agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the
Tulsa Loading Racks. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa shall give Tulsa Refining forty-five (45)
days prior written notice of any proposed new throughput agreement with a third party, and such
notice shall inform Tulsa Refining of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of
the proposed third party agreement and Tulsa Refining shall have forty-five (45) days following
receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Tulsa Refining shall lose
the rights specified by this
Section 8(a)
with respect to the assets that are the subject
of such notice.
(b) In the event that Tulsa Refining fails to provide prior written notice to HEP Tulsa of its
desire to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to
Section
7
, HEP Tulsa shall have the right, during the period from the date of Tulsa Refinings failure
to provide written notice pursuant to
Section 7
to the date of termination of this
Agreement, to negotiate to enter into a new throughput agreement with a third party, provided
however that at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term, Tulsa
Refining will have the right to enter into a new throughput agreement with HEP Tulsa on commercial
terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa proposes to enter into an agreement
with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Tulsa
Loading Racks. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa shall give Tulsa Refining forty-five (45) days
prior written notice of any proposed new throughput agreement with a third party, and such notice
shall inform Tulsa Refining of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the
proposed third party agreement and Tulsa Refining shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt
of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Tulsa Refining
13
shall lose the rights specified by this
Section 8(b)
with respect to the assets that
are the subject of such notice.
Section 9.
Repurchase Right and Buyout of Remaining Term
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge Tulsa
Refinings right to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks and/or buyout the remaining term of this
Agreement, and HEP Tulsas right to put the Tulsa Loading Racks to Tulsa Refining, upon the terms
set forth in the Purchase Option Agreement.

thirty (30) days following the end of the related contract month.
(b) If Tulsa Refining disagrees with the Deficiency Notice, then, following the payment of the
Deficiency Payment to HEP Tulsa, a senior officer of Tulsa Refining and a senior officer of HEP
Tulsa shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, and
thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary and shall negotiate in good faith to attempt
to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to matters specified in the Deficiency
Notice. During the 30-day period following the payment of the Deficiency Payment, Tulsa Refining
shall have access to the working papers of HEP Tulsa relating to the Deficiency Notice. If such
differences are not resolved within thirty (30) days following the payment of the Deficiency
Payment, Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa shall, within forty-five (45) days following the payment of
the Deficiency Payment, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly
included in the Deficiency Notice to arbitration in accordance with
Section 13(f)
.
15
(c) If it is finally determined pursuant to this
Section 11
that Tulsa Refining is not
required to make any or all of the Deficiency Payment (the
Refund
), HEP Tulsa shall
promptly pay to Tulsa Refining the Refund, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate, in
immediately available funds.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that there shall be no carry-over of deficiency volumes

Tulsa Refinery that would have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Tulsa Refinery.
(b)
Amendments and Waivers
. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be
valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties. 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

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
.
(i) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, Tulsa Refining,
HEP Tulsa and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned without the prior written consent of Tulsa
Refining (in the case of any assignment by HEP Tulsa) or HEP Tulsa (in the case of any assignment
by Tulsa Refining);
provided
,
however
, that (i) HEP Tulsa may make such an
assignment (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of HEP Tulsa without Tulsa
Refinings consent, (ii) Tulsa Refining may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial
assignment) to an Affiliate of Tulsa Refining without the consent of HEP Tulsa, (iii) Tulsa
Refining may make a collateral assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder and/or grant a
security interest in its rights and obligations to all or a portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks to
any bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them
without the consent of HEP Tulsa, (iv) HEP Tulsa may make a collateral assignment of its rights
hereunder and/or grant a security interest in its rights and obligations hereunder to a
16
bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them
without Tulsa Refinings consent, if such third party lender, debt holder or trustee shall have
executed and delivered to Tulsa Refining a non-disturbance agreement in such form as is reasonably
satisfactory to Tulsa Refining and such third party lender, debt holder, or trustee, (v) HEP Tulsa
may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom it
transfers the Tulsa Loading Racks without Tulsa Refinings consent, and (vi) Tulsa Refining may
assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party(ies) that acquire
the Tulsa Refinery without the consent of HEP Tulsa. Any attempt to make an assignment otherwise

respective successors, if any, to expressly assume, in a form of agreement reasonably acceptable to
the other Party, their obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) HEP Tulsa agrees that it will require any Person to whom it transfers the Tulsa Loading
Racks to expressly assume all of HEP Tulsas obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase
Option Agreement, in a form of agreement reasonably acceptable to Tulsa Refining.

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 Delaware, 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 13(f)
and the Commercial
Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this
Section 13(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. Claimants notice
initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent
shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimants 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 Respondents 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 arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or
employees of
17
any of Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa 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. Tulsa Refining, HEP
Tulsa 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.
The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other
agreements between the Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues
raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated
disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
(g)
Further Assurances
. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such
additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Agreement and all such transactions.
(h)
Headings
. Headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the
Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever. All references
in this Agreement to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.
(i)
Limitation of Damages
. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANY
OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES WHICH SHALL NOT BE
LIMITED BY THIS PARAGRAPH, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE RECOVERY BY ANY PARTY, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO
SECTION 5, OF ANY LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT (i) AS A
RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY OF THE EVENTS, CONDITIONS OR OTHER MATTERS LISTED IN SECTION 5(a) OR SECTION 5(b) WHICH THE
PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY AGAINST, SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES AND
SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL ANY PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT
OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE) SUFFERED OR
INCURRED BY ANY PARTY;
PROVIDED
,
HOWEVER
, THAT SUCH RESTRICTION AND LIMITATION
SHALL NOT APPLY TO A PARTYS OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY UNDER SECTION 5(a) OR SECTION
5(b) HEREOF, AS APPLICABLE, (Y) AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR SUCH INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR (Z) FOR INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT
OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR
18
DIMINUTION IN VALUE) THAT ARE A RESULT OF SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTYS OR ITS AFFILIATES GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFULL MISCONDUCT.
(j)
Notice to Third Parties
. Tulsa Refining authorizes HEP Tulsa to file in the
applicable recording office in the State of Delaware a UCC-1 Financing Statement (i) listing Tulsa
Refining as Debtor, (ii) listing HEP Tulsa as Secured Party and (iii) checking the
Lessee/Lessor as an alternative designation. The Parties agree that such UCC-1 Financing
Statement is solely to provide notice to third parties of HEP Tulsas ownership of the Tulsa
Loading Racks, that such financing statement shall not evidence a security interest in any of Tulsa
Refinings personal property, and that no such security interest is granted or deemed to be granted
hereunder.
Section 14.

Obligations.
(b)
Guaranty Absolute
. The Partnership hereby guarantees that the Payment Obligations

(v) any absence of any notice to, or knowledge of, the Partnership, of the existence or
occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subsections (i) through (iv);
or
(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, a guarantor.
19
The obligations of the Partnership hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Payment Obligations or otherwise.
(c)
Waiver
. The Partnership hereby waives promptness, diligence, all setoffs,
presentments, protests and notice of acceptance and any other notice relating to any of the Payment
Obligations and any requirement for Tulsa Refining to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against HEP Tulsa, any other entity or any collateral.
(d)
Subrogation Waiver
. The Partnership agrees that it shall not have any rights
(direct or indirect) of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or other rights
of payment or recovery from HEP Tulsa for any payments made by the Partnership under this
Section 14
until all Payment Obligations have been indefeasibly paid, and the Partnership
hereby irrevocably waives and releases, absolutely and unconditionally, any such rights of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and other rights of payment or recovery
it may now have or hereafter acquire against HEP Tulsa until all Payment Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid.
(e)
Reinstatement
. The obligations of the Partnership under this
Section 14
shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment of any of the Payment Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to HEP Tulsa
or any other entity, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition,
liquidation or reorganization of HEP Tulsa or such other entity, or for any other reason, all as
though such payment had not been made.
(f)
Continuing Guaranty
. This
Section 14
is a continuing guaranty and shall
(i) remain in full force and effect until the first to occur of the indefeasible payment in full of
all of the Payment Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Partnership, its successors and assigns
and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Tulsa Refining and its successors,
transferees and assigns.
(g)
No Duty to Pursue Others
. It shall not be necessary for Tulsa Refining (and the
Partnership hereby waives any rights which the Partnership may have to require Tulsa Refining), in
order to enforce such payment by the Partnership, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its
remedies against HEP Tulsa or others liable on the Payment Obligations or any other person, (ii)
enforce Tulsa Refinings rights against any other guarantors of the Payment Obligations, (iii) join
HEP Tulsa or any others liable on the Payment Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this
Section 14
, (iv) exhaust any remedies available to Tulsa Refining against any security
which shall ever have been given to secure the Payment Obligations, or (v) resort to any other
means of obtaining payment of the Payment Obligations.

this
Section 2
, this Agreement shall become a contract of sale and purchase for the Tulsa
Loading Racks pursuant to which HEP Tulsa shall be obligated to sell the Tulsa Loading Racks to

Tulsa. The terms of the purchase and sale agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by Tulsa Refining

provided
,
however
, that such delay shall not exceed 120 days
and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or expired, as the

shall have any further obligation under this
Section 2
with respect to Tulsa Refinings
prior election to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Tulsa Refining chooses or
is deemed to have chosen not to exercise its option to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks at the
price determined by the investment banking firm under
Section 2(b)
, such choice shall not

purchase price equal to the net present value, at a discount rate of 15%, of the remaining minimum
payments, based upon the then current base tariff, under
Section 2(a)
of the Tulsa
Throughput Agreement from the date of the sale through the end of the Term, which (in the case of

price payable pursuant to this
Section 3
.) In the event Tulsa Refining elects to purchase
the Tulsa Loading Racks in accordance with this

Section 4.
Tulsa Refining Right of First Refusal to Purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks
(a) HEP Tulsa hereby grants to Tulsa Refining a right of first refusal on any proposed

to an Affiliate) of the Tulsa Loading Racks.
(b) If HEP Tulsa proposes to Transfer any of the of the Tulsa Loading Racks to any Person
pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer (an
Acquisition Proposal
), then HEP Tulsa shall
promptly give written notice (a
Disposition Notice
) thereof to Tulsa Refining. 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 Tulsa
Loading Racks subject to the Acquisition Proposal (the
Sale Assets

non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow Tulsa Refining to reasonably
determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, HEP Tulsas estimate of the fair
market value of any non-cash consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the

non-cash consideration, Tulsa Refining will provide written notice of its decision regarding the

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 Tulsa Refining and
HEP Tulsa. Tulsa Refining will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its
right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to HEP Tulsa 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 Tulsa Refining not to purchase the Sale Assets. If Tulsa Refining fails to exercise a right
during any applicable period set forth in this
Section 4(b)
, Tulsa Refining 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 Tulsa Loading Racks.

Assets under

2007, among Holly Energy Partners Operating, L.P., the Banks party thereto, and Union Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, as such agreement may be amended, restated, otherwise modified or
refinanced from time to time.

Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into among Union Bank, N.A., as

the Tulsa Loading Racks granted by HEP Tulsa in favor of any third-party providing financing to HEP
Tulsa, so long as the holder of such future financing executes and delivers to Tulsa Refining a
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement recognizing and agreeing not to disturb
