Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Asset Purchase Agreement
     On August 1, 2009, a subsidiary of Holly Corporation (“ 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 Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) for the Partnership to acquire certain truck and rail loading/unloading equipment (the " Tulsa Assets ”) located at Holly’s refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “ Tulsa Refinery ”) from Holly for a purchase price of $17.5 million (the “ Acquisition ”). 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, among other things, (i) an equipment and throughput agreement, (ii) a purchase option agreement, and (iii) a second amended and restated omnibus 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.
Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement
     On August 1, 2009 in connection with the Acquisition, the Parties and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the “ Second Restated Omnibus Agreement ”). The Second Restated Omnibus Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement dated June 1, 2009, among the Parties that was previously filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 5, 2009. The Second 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 Second 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

Table of Contents

administrative services for the Partnership’s benefit. The Partnership’s general partner 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 the Partnership’s 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 general partner;
 
    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.
     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 Second 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 Second 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 Second 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 Tulsa Assets or the 16” feedstock pipeline acquired by a subsidiary of the Partnership on June 1, 2009, 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 Second Restated Omnibus Agreement provides that the Partnership will indemnify Holly and its affiliates against environmental liabilities relating to the Partnership’s assets that occur after the date the Partnership or its affiliates acquired such assets.
     The Second 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 Second 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. Holly’s right of first refusal described above does not apply to the Tulsa Assets.
     The Second Restated Omnibus Agreement contains an acknowledgment by the Parties of the purchase options and right of first refusal granted to Holly with respect to the Tulsa Assets in the purchase option agreement (described below).
     The description of the Second Restated Omnibus Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Second Restated Omnibus Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Tulsa Equipment and Throughput Agreement
     On August 1, 2009 in connection with the Acquisition, subsidiaries of Holly and the Partnership entered into the Tulsa Equipment and Throughput Agreement (the “ Throughput Agreement ”). The Throughput Agreement terminates on August 1, 2024.
     The Throughput Agreement may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that Holly provides the Partnership with notice of its desire to extend the Throughput Agreement not more than 24 months and not less than the later of 12 months prior to the date of termination or ten days after receipt of a written request from the Partnership. In the event the Throughput 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 throughput agreement with the Partnership on commercial terms that substantially match the terms offered to the Partnership by a third-party.
     Under the Throughput Agreement, Holly agrees to load or unload by tanker truck or rail car at the Tulsa Loading Racks (as defined in the Throughput Agreement) an amount of products in the aggregate that at the agreed tariff rates will result in minimum revenues to the Partnership of approximately $225,000 per month (the “ Minimum Revenue Commitment" ). Holly shall pay the Partnership (i) a fee of $0.60 per barrel (the “ Base Tariff ”) for the first 12,500 bpd of products calculated on a monthly basis (the “ Minimum Throughput ”) received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks and (ii) a fee of $0.30 per barrel for volumes in excess of the Minimum Throughput received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Incentive Tariff ”). The Base Tariff and Incentive Tariff will increase each year on July 1 by an amount equal to the change in the producers price index; provided , however , that such adjustment shall

Table of Contents

not exceed 3.0% in any year. The Base Tariff and Incentive Tariff will not decrease as the result of any decrease in the producers price index.
     If Holly fails to meet its Minimum Revenue Commitment for any month, it will be required to pay to the Partnership a deficiency payment upon the later of: (i) ten days after its receipt of notice of such deficiency and (ii) 30 days following the end of the related contract month. If disagreements regarding any deficiency payment cannot be resolved among the Parties within 30 days following the payment of such deficiency payment, the Parties shall submit any and all disputed matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Throughput Agreement.
     During the term of the Throughput Agreement, Holly (at Holly’s sole cost and expense) shall manage, operate and maintain the Tulsa Loading Racks for and on behalf of the Partnership.
     If new laws or regulations are enacted that require the Partnership to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with regard to the Tulsa Loading Racks, the Partnership will have the right to impose a monthly surcharge to cover its costs of complying with these new laws or regulations. 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 monthly surcharge.
     Either Party may temporarily suspend its obligations under the Throughput 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 Throughput Agreement.
     Under the Throughput Agreement, Holly has agreed to indemnify the Partnership from liabilities arising out of, among other things, events and conditions associated with the Tulsa Loading Racks, including violations of environmental laws, occurring prior to the date of the Throughput Agreement or during the term of the Throughput Agreement while Holly is operating the Tulsa Loading Racks. In addition, under the Throughput Agreement, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify Holly from liabilities arising out of, among other things, the operation of the Tulsa Loading Racks, including violations of environmental law, by the Partnership.
     Holly’s obligations under the Throughput Agreement will not terminate if Holly and its affiliates no longer own the Partnership’s general partner. The Throughput Agreement may be assigned to a third party with the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party. The Parties may also assign the Throughput Agreement to an affiliate, a third party lender or debt holder or person who acquires the Tulsa Loading Racks or Holly’s Tulsa Refinery without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party.
     The description of the Throughput Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Throughput Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Tulsa Purchase Option Agreement
     On August 1, 2009 in connection with the Acquisition, subsidiaries of Holly and the Partnership entered into the Tulsa Purchase Option Agreement (the “ Option Agreement ”). The Option Agreement expires simultaneously with the termination of the Throughput Agreement, including any extensions or amendments of such agreement, unless extended by written mutual agreement of the Parties.
     Under the Option Agreement, the Partnership grants Holly the option to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Option ”) at the termination of the Option Agreement for the fair market cash value

Table of Contents

of the Tulsa Loading Racks to a third party, less the sum of the actual amounts expended for capital expenditures and improvements made by Holly to the Tulsa Loading Racks during the term of the Throughput Agreement. Holly shall provide to the Partnership written notice of its desire to exercise the Option not more than 24 months and not less than 12 months prior to the date of termination of the Option Agreement.
     The Option Agreement provides that if Holly (i) shuts down the Tulsa Refinery and such planned shut down is intended at the time of such shut down to be permanent or (ii) sells or causes to be sold to a third party(ies), including any person in which Holly or its affiliates have a minority interest, the Tulsa Refinery, then Holly shall be entitled to (A) assign all of its rights and obligations under the Option Agreement and the Throughput Agreement to such third party(ies) or (B) purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Repurchase Right ”) for a cash purchase price equal to the net present value, at a discount rate of 15%, of the remaining minimum payments under the Throughput Agreement.
     Under the Option Agreement, the Partnership 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 or a transfer to an affiliate) of the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Right of First Refusal ”). The Partnership shall give Holly prompt notice of any such proposed transfer, including the purchase price offered by the proposed transferee, and Holly shall give the Partnership notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its Right of First Refusal within 30 days of its receipt of the Partnership’s notice of the proposed transfer.
     Under the Option Agreement, Holly grants to the Partnership the right to sell to Holly for $100.00 the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Partnership Put Right ”). The Partnership shall provide Holly notice of its desire to exercise the Partnership Put Right not less than six months prior to the termination of the Option Agreement.
     Under the Option Agreement, the Partnership grants to Holly the right to sell to the Partnership for $100.00 all of Holly’s interest in the real property (the “ Real Property ”) located directly under the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Holly Put Right ”); provided that the Holly Put Right is not exercisable (i) if Holly has exercised its option to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to the Option or the Repurchase Right, (ii) if the Partnership has exercised its right to sell the Tulsa Loading Racks to Holly pursuant to the Partnership Put Right, (iii) with respect to the real property underlying the Tulsa Loading Racks that Holly has exercised the Right of First Refusal to purchase pursuant to the Option Agreement, or (iv) at any time prior to that date which is six months prior to the date of scheduled termination of the Option Agreement. Holly shall provide written notice to the Partnership of its desire to exercise the Holly Put Right not more than six months and not less than 20 days prior to the date of termination of the Option Agreement. In the event Holly notifies the Partnership of its desire to exercise the Holly Put Right, then, the Partnership shall have right to sell to Holly for $100.00 the Tulsa Loading Racks (the “ Second Partnership Put Right ”). The Partnership shall provide Holly notice of its desire to exercise the Second Partnership Put Right within 15 days of the Partnership’s receipt of notice that Holly has exercised the Holly Put Right with respect to the Real Property. In the event the Partnership exercises the Second Partnership Put Right, then Holly’s exercise of the Holly Put Right with respect to the Real Property shall automatically be voided and of no further force and effect.
     The Option Agreement may be assigned to a third party with the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party. The Parties may assign the Option Agreement to an affiliate or a third party lender or debt holder without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party. The Parties may also assign the Option Agreement to any third party to which either Party sells or transfers the Tulsa Loading Racks or Tulsa Refinery, as applicable.

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 9.5 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 9.5 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 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

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. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
     9.6 Parties in Interest . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
     9.7 Assignment of Agreement . At any time, the Parties may make a collateral assignment of their rights under this Agreement to any of their bona fide lenders or debt holders, or a trustee or a representative for any of them, and the non-assigning Parties shall execute an acknowledgment of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably requested; provided , however , that unless written notice is given to the non-assigning Party that any such collateral assignment has been foreclosed upon, such non-assigning Party shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, as to any matters arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement (other than for delivery of notices required by any such collateral assignment). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.7 , neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto.
     9.8 Captions . The captions in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation hereof.
     9.9 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     9.10 Director and Officer Liability . The directors, managers, officers, partners and stockholders of the Buyer, the Seller and their respective affiliates shall not have any personal liability or obligation arising under this Agreement (including any claims that another party may assert) other than as an assignee of this Agreement or pursuant to a written guarantee.
     9.11 Integration . This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement unless it is contained in a

written amendment hereto or thereto and executed by the Parties hereto or thereto after the date of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement.
     9.12 Effect of Agreement . The Parties ratify and confirm that except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the event this Agreement conflicts in any way with the Omnibus Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Omnibus Agreement shall control.
     9.13 Amendment; Waiver . This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all parties hereto. Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive any party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.
     9.14 Survival of Representations and Warranties . The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.5 (Title to Transferred Assets), 4.7 (Waivers and Disclaimers), 5.1 (Organization) and 5.2 (Authorization) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided , however , that any representation and warranty that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder which claim was timely made pursuant to Section 8.4(a) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally paid or adjudicated.

to
HEP Tulsa LLC
     This Equipment Sites, Access and Rail Line License Agreement (Tulsa Truck and Rail Equipment — Tulsa County, Oklahoma) (this “ Agreement ”), dated effective for all purposes as of 12:01 a.m. Dallas, Texas time on August 1, 2009 (the “ Effective Time ”), is made and entered into by and between Holly Refining & Marketing — Tulsa LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose address is 100 Crescent Court, Suite 1600, Dallas, Texas 75201-6927 (“ Licensor ”), and HEP Tulsa LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose address is 100 Crescent Court, Suite 1600, Dallas, Texas 75201 (“ Licensee ”).
WITNESSETH:
     For and in consideration of the amounts paid by Licensee to Licensor and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which Licensor hereby acknowledges, Licensor hereby grants and conveys unto Licensee an exclusive license (the “ Equipment Sites License ”) to use those certain tracts of real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Equipment Sites ”) for the purpose of the use, operation, maintenance, construction, re-construction and presence of the Equipment (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term “ Equipment ” means, individually or collectively as the context may require, certain truck and rail loading/unloading equipment now or hereafter situated on the Equipment Sites.
     Licensor hereby further grants and conveys unto Licensee a non-exclusive license (the “ Access License ”) to use the roads, rights-of-way, entrances, exits, walkways, and parking areas situated on that certain real property more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “ Refinery Site ”) for the purpose of vehicular and pedestrian ingress, egress and access, and all other areas at the Refinery Site from time to time used for pedestrian and vehicular use, all to the extent necessary to access any of the Equipment and so long as Licensee’s use of such License rights does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Refinery Site by Licensor; provided that the Access License shall be subject to any reasonable rules, regulations and requirements imposed by Licensor from time to time with respect to the use of the roads, rights-of-way, entrances, exits, walkways and parking areas situated on the Refinery Site, including without limitation coordinating Licensee’s use thereof.
     Licensor hereby further grants and conveys unto Licensee a conditional non-exclusive rail line license (the “ Rail Line License ” and, together with the Equipment Sites License and the Access License, the “ Licenses ”) to use the rail lines situated on the Refinery Site and owned by

Licensor, all to the extent necessary to utilize any Equipment, so long as Licensee’s use of such License rights does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Refinery Site by Licensor, and subject to any reasonable rules, regulations and requirements imposed by Licensor with respect to the use of the rail lines on the Refinery Site, including without limitation coordinating Licensee’s use thereof; provided, however, the Rail Line License shall be suspended during any period that the Throughput Agreement (defined below) is in effect, and during such periods Licensee shall have no right to utilize the rail lines situated on the Refinery Site.
Licensor’s grant of the Licenses hereunder is subject to all Permitted Encumbrances related to the Equipment and the Refinery Site, to the extent applicable. As used herein, the term “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean:
     (i) All legal requirements that govern or apply to the ownership, operation or transfer of such property;
     (ii) Any lien for taxes that are not yet due and payable;
     (iii) Materialmen’s, mechanic’s, repairmen’s, employees’, contractors’, tax and other similar liens or charges arising in the ordinary course of business for obligations that are not delinquent or that will be paid and discharged in the ordinary course of business or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith by appropriate action;
     (iv) Preferential rights to purchase and required third party consents to assignments and similar agreements with respect to which waivers or consents are obtained from the 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 party’s successors, assigns, and designees, a “ Licensee’s Lender ”). This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Licensee and its successors and assigns, including without limitation, any Licensee’s Lender, and Licensor agrees to be bound under this Agreement to any such successor or assign, including any Licensee’s Lender, as if the Licenses were originally granted to such successor or assign. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Licensee’s Lender acquires all or any part of the Equipment pursuant to a security interest in the Equipment granted by Licensee in favor of Licensee’s Lender, whether by foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then (i)

2


 

this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to such Licensee’s Lender with respect to the Equipment acquired by such Licensee’s Lender and Licensor shall recognize such Licensee’s Lender as the “Licensee” hereunder with respect to such Equipment, and (ii) if requested by Licensee’s Lender, Licensor shall enter into a new license agreement with Licensee’s Lender with respect to the Equipment acquired by such Licensee’s 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 Licensor’s 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 Licensee’s 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.

               (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 ”).

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.

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.

10


 

and the Holly Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II , and that any breach by Holly GP or the Holly Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II would result in irreparable injury to the Partnership Group. Holly GP and the Holly Group Members further agree and acknowledge that any Partnership Group Member may, in addition to the other remedies which may be available to the Partnership Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin Holly GP and the Holly Group from such breach, and consent to the issuance of injunctive relief under this Agreement.
      2.6 Limitation on Acquisitions of Subject Assets by Partnership Group Members . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Partnership Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement is prohibited from acquiring Subject Assets. In the event the General Partner desires a Partnership Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement to acquire any Subject Assets, then the General Partner shall first cause such Partnership Group Member to become a party to this Agreement.

      3.5 Indemnification Procedures .

14


 

          (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 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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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.

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;

          (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


 

          (c) 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.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in Article V the definition of Assets shall not include the Tulsa Transferred Assets.
      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 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 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) 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 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 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 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 . The Parties acknowledge the purchase options and right of first refusal granted to an Affiliate of Holly with respect to the Tulsa Transferred Assets in the Purchase Option Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
      7.1 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.
      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. 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.

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 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-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.

     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 Refining’s sole cost and expense) manage, operate and maintain the Tulsa Loading Racks for and on behalf of HEP Tulsa; (2) HEP Tulsa hereby authorizes Tulsa Refining to do and perform any and all acts and things necessary, requisite or proper for the efficient and safe operation, maintenance, upkeep and repair of the Tulsa Loading Racks and to do all other things that Tulsa Refining deems necessary or appropriate to the accomplishment of the purposes of this Agreement, so that the Tulsa Loading Racks may be utilized to load or unload at the Tulsa Loading Racks an average of 12,500 bpd of Products; and (3) Tulsa Refining shall manage and direct such operation, maintenance, upkeep and repair in an efficient, safe and economical manner and in accordance with all valid and applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities.
          (ii) During the Term, Tulsa Refining shall maintain in effect all material licenses, authorizations, permissions or permits of a Governmental Authority necessary to operate the Tulsa Loading Racks.

          (iii) During the Term if any of the Tulsa Loading Racks are damaged or destroyed, then Tulsa Refining shall, in its sole discretion, either (x) rebuild or repair such damaged or destroyed 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) .
     (d)  Equipment Expansions and Modifications . From time-to-time the parties may agree to expand or modify certain equipment covered by this Agreement, including refined products loading racks and other equipment. In connection with the expansion or modification of such equipment, the parties may agree to certain reimbursements, increased tariff rates or other payments or may otherwise revise the terms of this Agreement to address such projects. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B is a list of current expansion or modification projects agreed to by the parties hereto and the terms of such projects. Exhibit B may be amended, modified, revised or updated from time-to-time to evidence the parties’ agreement to new expansion or modification projects; the completion, termination or revision of previously agreed to expansion or modification projects; or the modification of the terms of this Agreement in connection with the addition, completion, termination or revision of such expansion or modification projects. To 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 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.
     (e)  Taxes . Tulsa Refining will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on the Products delivered by Tulsa Refining for transportation through the Tulsa Loading Racks. Subject to Article 3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Tulsa Refining will pay all real property taxes by any Governmental Authority levied on the real property on which the Tulsa Loading Racks are located and HEP Tulsa will pay all real property taxes, if any, or personal property taxes by any Governmental Authority levied on the Tulsa Loading Racks.

     (f)  Books and Records . During the Term, HEP Tulsa shall have the right, no more than twice in any twelve month period, to review and audit Tulsa Refining’s books and records relating to the volume of Products received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks for purposes of verifying Tulsa Refining’s compliance with Section 2(a)(ii) . Any review, audit or investigation undertaken by HEP Tulsa shall be at HEP Tulsa’s 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 Tulsa’s 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 Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any monthly surcharge agreed to in accordance with this Section 2(g) .
      Section 3. Exceptions to Tulsa Refining’s 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 Refinery’s 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 Refining’s proposal, any changes in Tulsa Refining’s 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 Refining’s Minimum Revenue Commitment agreed to in accordance with this Section 3(a) .

          (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.

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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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.

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.

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.

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 .

     (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 impact its rights to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to this Section 2 in the future and such rights shall remain in effect and shall not be extinguished until the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2(a) .

In the event Tulsa Refining elects to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks in accordance with this Section 3 , then 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 Refining or the third party(ies) purchasing the Tulsa Refinery (the “ Purchaser ”).

7


 

deemed to have exercised its option to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks under this Section 3 at a purchase price as determined under clause (y) in Section 3(a) .
      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 Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer 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 ”), 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 Tulsa Refining to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, HEP Tulsa’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 HEP Tulsa. 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 Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa agree as to the fair market value of any non-cash consideration, Tulsa Refining 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) Tulsa Refining’s determination of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by Tulsa Refining within 30 days of receipt of such Disposition Notice) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by HEP Tulsa in the Disposition Notice and (ii) Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after Tulsa Refining notifies HEP Tulsa of its determination thereof, HEP Tulsa and Tulsa Refining 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 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.

8


 

     (c) If Tulsa Refining chooses to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets under Section 4(b) , Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Sale Assets which, unless otherwise agreed to by Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa shall include the following terms:

Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator

16


 

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.

Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto.

Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

     (i)  Security Agreement . This Agreement constitutes a “Security Agreement” on the Tulsa Loading Racks as personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law. To this end, HEP Tulsa grants to Tulsa Refining a security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks to secure the performance of HEP Tulsa hereunder, and agrees that Tulsa Refining shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Tulsa Loading Racks.

Tulsa Refining further agrees to subordinate its security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks granted hereunder to any future security interest in 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 Tulsa Refining’s rights under this Agreement and the Tulsa Throughput Agreement, and otherwise being in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tulsa Refining.
