Agreement to Use Services Relating to Pipelines and Tankage
.
This Agreement sets forth a commercial arrangement consistent with historical operational

6
objectives of the Parties. The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in
this Agreement, which sets forth revenues to the Partnership Entities to be paid by the Holly
Entities and requires the Partnership Entities to provide certain transportation and storage
services to the Holly Entities. The principal objective of the Partnership Entities is for the
Holly Entities to meet or exceed their obligations with respect to the Minimum Pipeline Revenue
Commitment, and to meet their obligations with respect to the Tankage Revenue Commitment and the
Roswell Terminal Payment. The principal objective of the Holly Entities is for the Partnership
Entities to provide services to the Holly Entities in a manner that enables the Holly Entities to
operate their assets in a manner as favorably as their historical practice when the Holly Entities
were the owners of the Drop-Down Assets.
(a)
Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment.
During the Term and subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Holly Entities agree as follows:
(i) Subject to Section 3, commencing on the Effective Time, the Holly Entities will
ship (1) on the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines an amount of Crude Oil in the aggregate having a
quantity and consistency that will produce revenue to the Partnership Entities in an amount
at least equal to $13,552,450 annually (the
Minimum Trunk Pipeline Revenue Commitment
);
(2) on the Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines and store at the Artesia Crude Oil Pipeline Tankage
and the Lovington Crude Oil Pipeline Tankage, an amount of Crude Oil in the aggregate that
will produce revenue to the Partnership Entities in an amount at least equal to $8,688,750
annually (the
Minimum Gathering Pipeline Revenue Commitment
); (3) on the Woods Cross
Pipelines an amount of Crude Oil and Refined Product that will, in the aggregate, produce
revenue to the Partnership Entities in an amount at least equal to $730,000 annually (the
Minimum Woods Cross Pipeline Revenue Commitment
); and (4) on the Roswell Products Pipeline
an amount of Refined Product in the aggregate that will produce revenue to the Partnership
Entities in an amount at least equal to $35,000 per Contract Quarter (the
Minimum Roswell
Pipeline Revenue Commitment,
together with the Minimum Trunk Pipeline Revenue Commitment,
the Minimum Gathering Pipeline Revenue Commitment and the Minimum Woods Cross Pipeline
Revenue Commitment, collectively, the
Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment
).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Effective Time is any date other than
the first day of a Contract Year or Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Trunk Pipeline
Revenue Commitment, Minimum Gathering Pipeline Revenue Commitment and Minimum Woods Cross
Pipeline Revenue Commitment for the initial Contract Year shall each be prorated based upon
the number of days actually in such contract year and the initial Contract Year, and the
Minimum Roswell Pipeline Revenue Commitment for the initial Contract Quarter shall be
prorated based upon the number of days actually in such calendar quarter and the initial
Contract Quarter.
(ii) The Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment shall be adjusted on July 1 of each
Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2008, by an amount equal to the percentage increase, if
any, between the two (2) preceding calendar years, in the Producer Price Index for Finished
Goods, seasonally adjusted, as published by the Department of Labor (
PPI
);
provided,
however
, that the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment will not decrease as a result of
any decrease in the PPI. If that index is no longer published, the Holly Entities and the
Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to
7
agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation and the same
method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in
the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitments. If the Holly Entities and the Partnership
Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in
accordance with Section 11(e) of this Agreement and the same method of adjustment for
increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Pipeline
Revenue Commitment.
(iii) If the Holly Entities are unable for a period in excess of thirty (30)
consecutive days to transport on the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines, the Crude Oil Gathering
Pipelines, the Woods Cross Pipelines or the Roswell Product Pipeline the respective volumes
of Crude Oil and Refined Product required to meet the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment as
a result of the Partnership Entities operational difficulties, prorationing, or, (1) with
respect to the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines, the inability to provide 79,000 bpd capacity (the
Trunk Pipeline Minimum Capacity
); (2) with respect to the Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines
(including storage in the Artesia Crude Oil Pipeline Tankage and Lovington Crude Oil
Pipeline Tankage, but excluding storage in the Refinery Tankage), the inability to provide:
(A) from the Effective Date until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date: 50,000 bpd;
(B) from the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date until the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date: 47,500 bpd; and (C) from the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date until
the expiration of the Term: 45,000 bpd (collectively, the
Gathering Pipeline Minimum
Capacity
); (3) with respect to the Woods Cross Pipelines, the inability to provide 8,000
bpd capacity (the
Woods Cross Minimum Capacity
); or (4) with respect to the Roswell
Products Pipeline, the inability to provide 36,000 bpq capacity (the
Roswell Pipeline
Minimum Capacity
), then upon written notice by the Holly Entities to the Partnership
Entities, the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, as affected, will be reduced for such
period of time by an amount equal to: (A) the volume of Crude Oil or Refined Product that
the Holly Entities are unable to transport on the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines, the Crude Oil
Gathering Pipelines, the Woods Cross Pipelines or the Roswell Product Pipeline, as
applicable, as a result of the Partnership Entities operational difficulties, prorationing
or inability to provide the Trunk Pipeline Minimum Capacity, the Gathering Pipeline Minimum
Capacity, the Woods Cross Minimum Capacity or the Roswell Pipeline Minimum Capacity, as
applicable, multiplied by (B) the applicable tariffs.
(b)
Tariffs and Tankage Fees
.
(i) The tariff rates applicable to (A) service on the
Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines shall be as set forth in
Exhibit A
attached hereto and
made a part hereof for all purposes; (B) service on the Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines shall
be as set forth in
Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all
purposes; (C) service on the Woods Cross Pipelines shall be as set forth in
Exhibit
C
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes; and (D) service on Roswell
Product Pipeline shall be as set forth in
Exhibit D
attached hereto and made a part hereof
for all purposes. The rules and regulations governing service on the Pipeline Assets shall be as set forth in
the applicable rules and regulations tariffs with respect to such service. The tariff rates shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year
commencing on July 1, 2008, by an amount equal to the percentage change, if any, between the
two (2) immediately preceding calendar years, in the FERC Oil Pipeline Index. If that index
is
8
no longer published, the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in
good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation or
deflation and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to
calculate increases in the tariff rates. If the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities
are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance
with Section 11(e) of this Agreement and the same method of adjustment for increases in the
new index shall be used to calculate increases in the tariff rates. Notwithstanding that
the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment will be determined on a Contract Year basis, the
applicable initial fees, tariff rates and other charges provided for in this Agreement will
become effective as of the Effective Time. The Partnership Entities shall have the right to
change the tariff rates applicable to the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines, the Crude Oil Gathering
Pipelines, the Woods Cross Pipelines and the Roswell Product Pipeline in the event that the
Partnership Entities incur increased expenses (or lower revenues) or capital costs, as a
direct result of a change in the quality and/or consistency of the Crude Oil or Refined
Product, as applicable, and to the extent thereof.
(ii) In the event that Crude Oil throughput at the Navajo Refinery exceeds 110,000 bpd
or if Crude Oil viscosity exceeds 50 SSU on greater than 10,000 bpd of such Crude Oil
throughput, and the Partnership Entities incur increased expenses (or lower revenues) or
capital costs, as a direct result thereof, the Parties will renegotiate the tariff rates in
good faith in order to compensate the Partnership Entities on account of such incremental
expenses (or lower revenues) or capital costs, which capital costs shall also include a
reasonable rate of return. If the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to
agree upon renegotiated tariff rates, the renegotiated tariff rates will be determined by
binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(e) of this Agreement.
(c)
Tankage Revenue Commitment
. During the Term of this Agreement, upon the
Effective Time, the Holly Entities shall pay the Partnership Entities throughput fees associated
with the Refinery Tankage in the amount of $184,000 per month (the
Tankage Revenue Commitment
)
in exchange for the Partnership Entities providing to the Holly Entities 613,333 barrels per month
of crude oil storage capacity at the Refinery Tankage. The amount of the Tankage Revenue
Commitment shall be adjusted upward on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2008, by
an amount equal to the percentage change, if any, between the two (2) immediately preceding
calendar years, in the FERC Oil Pipeline Index. If that index is no longer published, the Holly
Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that
gives comparable protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases in
the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Tankage Revenue Commitment. If the
Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by
binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(e) of this Agreement and the same method of
adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Tankage
Revenue Commitment. Notwithstanding that the Tankage Revenue Commitment will be determined on a
Contract Year basis, the applicable fees, tariff rates and other charges provided for in this
Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Time.
(d)
Roswell Terminal Operating Expenses and Payment
. During the Term and subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holly Entities shall (i) reimburse all
9
operating expenses incurred by the Partnership Entities in their operation of the Roswell
Terminal in an economic and prudent manner, in accordance with the normal and customary practices
in the industry and Applicable Laws, and consistent with the historical operation of the Roswell
Terminal by the Holly Entities, and (ii) make annual payment to the Partnership Entities in the
amount of $100,000 (such annual payment, the
Roswell Terminal Payment
) which shall be adjusted
upward on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2008, by an amount equal to the
percentage increase, if any, between the two (2) preceding calendar years, in the PPI;
provided
,
however
, that the Roswell Terminal Payment will not decrease as a result
of any decrease in the PPI. If that index is no longer published, the Holly Entities and the
Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable
protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index
shall be used to calculate increases in the Roswell Terminal Payment. If the Holly Entities and
the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding
arbitration in accordance with Section 11(e) of this Agreement and the same method of adjustment
for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Roswell Terminal
Payment. The Partnership Entities shall exercise the same level of care in the operation of the
Roswell Terminal as they exercise in the operation of their own terminals and pipeline assets.
(e)
Volumetric Gains and Losses
. The Holly Entities shall, during the Term, (i)
absorb all volumetric gains in the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines and Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines,
and (ii) be responsible for all volumetric losses in the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines and the Crude
Oil Gathering Pipelines up to a maximum of 0.5%. The Partnership Entities shall be responsible
for all volumetric losses in excess of 0.5% in the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines and Crude Oil
Gathering Pipelines during the Term.
(f)
Obligations of the Partnership Entities
. During the Term and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 11(b), the Partnership Entities agree to
own or lease, operate and maintain the assets necessary to accept the deliveries from the Holly
Entities and to provide the services required under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, subject to Section 11(b) of this Agreement and Article VI of the Omnibus Agreement, the
Partnership Entities are free to sell any of their assets, including assets that provide services
under this Agreement, and the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities are free to merge
with another entity (whether or not the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities is the
surviving entity in such merger) and are free to sell all of their assets or all of their equity
to another entity at any time. The Partnership Entities shall, upon six (6) months prior written
notice to the Holly Entities, except in the event of an emergency or in order to comply with
Applicable Law, have the right to discontinue operation with respect to any of the Gathering
Pipelines in the event that such operation becomes (i) mechanically unreliable or (ii)
uneconomical due to a decline in volume. At the request of the Holly Entities, and subject in
each case to any applicable common carrier proration duties, the Partnership Entities agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to transport by pipeline for the Holly Entities each month during
the Term: (i) 79,000 bpd of Crude Oil on the Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines; (ii) (A) from the Effective
Date until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date: 50,000 bpd of Crude Oil on the Crude Oil
Gathering Pipelines; (B) from the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date until the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date: 47,500 bpd of Crude Oil on the Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines;
and (C) from the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date until the expiration of the

Term: 45,000 bpd of Crude Oil on the Crude Oil Gathering Pipelines (in each case, including
storage in the Artesia Crude Oil Pipeline Tankage or Lovington Crude Oil Refinery Tankage, but not
in the Refinery Tankage); (iii) 8,000 bpd of Crude Oil and Refined Product, collectively, on the
Woods Cross Pipelines; and (iv) 36,000 bpq of Refined Product on the Roswell Products Pipeline.
To the extent that the Holly Entities are entitled to an exception under Section 3 of this
Agreement to their obligations under Section 2(a) of this Agreement, the corresponding obligations
of the Partnership Entities under this Section 2(f) will be proportionately reduced.
(g)
Drag Reducing Agents and Additives
. If the Partnership Entities determine that
adding drag reducing agents (
DRA
) and additives to the Crude Oil and Refined Products is
reasonably required to move Crude Oil and Refined Product in the quantities necessary to meet the
Holly Entities schedule or as may be otherwise be required to safely move such quantities of
Crude Oil and Refined Product, the Partnership Entities shall provide the Holly Entities with an
analysis of the proposed cost and benefits thereof. In the event that the Holly Entities agree to
use such additives as proposed by the Partnership Entities, the Holly Entities shall reimburse the
Partnership Entities for the costs of adding any additive, including DRA and/or other additives to
the Crude Oil and Refined Product. All fuel additives, anti-icers and DRA (collectively,
Additives
) added to the Crude Oil and Refined Product pursuant to this Section 2(g) will be
provided by the Holly Entities at no cost to the Partnership Entities or, if the Partnership
Entities provide Additives, then the Holly Entities agree to reimburse the Partnership Entities
for the costs of the Additives.
(h)
Reimbursement for Initial Tank Inspections

after the Effective Time of the tanks included within the Tankage Assets (the
Initial Tank
Inspections
), and any repairs or tests or consequential remediation that may be required to be
made to such Tankage Assets as a result of any discovery made during the Initial Tank Inspections;
provided
,
however
, that (i) the Holly Entities are not obligated to reimburse the
Partnership Entities for any costs associated with or arising from any inspection of Relocated
Tank 437 or Replacement Tank 439, and (ii) upon expiration of the Initial Tank Inspection Period,
all of the obligations of the Holly Entities pursuant to this Section 5(h) shall terminate, except
that the Initial Tank Inspection Period shall be extended if, and only to the extent that (a)
inaccessibility of the Tankage Assets during the Initial Tank Inspection Period caused the delay
of an Initial Tank Inspection originally scheduled to be performed during the Initial Tank
Inspection Period, and (b) the Holly Entities received notice from the Partnership Entities
regarding such delay at the time it occurred.
(i)
Taxes
. The Holly Entities will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and
other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on or with respect to the Crude Oil and Refined
Product delivered by the Holly Entities for transportation by the Partnership Entities in the
Crude Oil Trunk Pipelines including, but not limited to, any New Mexico gross receipts and
compensating (use) taxes. The Holly Entities will reimburse the Partnership Entities for the New
Mexico gross receipts tax, but not income tax, levied on or with respect to the transportation
services provided by the Partnership Entities to the Holly Entities under this
11
Agreement. Should any Party be required to pay or collect any taxes, duties, charges and or
assessments pursuant to any federal, state, county or municipal law or authority now in effect or
hereafter to become effective which are payable by the any other Party pursuant to this Section
2(i) the proper Party shall promptly reimburse the other Party therefor.

.
Without Hollys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Partnership
Entities shall not (i) reverse the direction of any of the Pipeline Assets; (ii) change, alter or
modify the product service of any of the Pipeline Assets; or (iii) change, alter or modify the
origination or destination of any of the Pipeline Assets;
provided
,
however
, that
the Partnership Entities may take any necessary emergency action to prevent or remedy a release of
Crude Oil or Refined Product, as applicable, from any of the Pipeline Assets without obtaining the
consent required by this Section 2(l). The Holly Entities shall have the right to reverse the
direction of any of the Pipeline Assets if the Holly Entities agree to (i) reimburse the
Partnership Entities for the additional costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership Entities as
a result of such change in direction (both to reverse and re-reverse); (ii) reimburse the
Partnership Entities for all costs arising out of the Partnership Entities inability to perform
under any transportation service contract due to the reversal of the direction of the Pipeline
Assets; and (iii) pay the flow reversal rates as set forth on Exhibit E. The tariff rates
applicable to any such flow reversal shall be as set forth on Exhibit E and shall be adjusted each
year as provided in Section 2(a)(ii).
(m)

dealings may change from time to time.
12
(o)
Increases in Pipeline Tariff Rates and Tankage Fees
. If new laws or regulations
are enacted that require the Partnership Entities to make capital expenditures with respect to the
Drop-Down Assets, the Partnership Entities may amend the tariff rates in order to recover the
Partnership Entities cost of complying with these laws or regulations (including a reasonable
return). The Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities 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 amount of the new tariff rates. If
the Holly Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree on the amount of the new
tariff rates that the Partnership Entities will charge, such tariff rates will be determined by
binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(e) of this Agreement.
Section 3.
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 thirty (30)

(b)
Successors and Assigns
. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall
be binding upon, the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned without the prior written consent of Holly (in the case of any assignment by the
Partnership Entities) or the Conflicts Committee (in the case of any assignment by the Holly
17
Entities), in each case, such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided
,
however
, that (i) the Partnership Entities may make such an assignment

security interest in all or a portion of the Drop-Down Assets to a bona fide third party lender or
debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them, if such third party lender, debt holder
or trustee shall have executed and delivered to the Holly Entities a non-disturbance agreement in
such form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Holly Entities and the Holly Entities execute an
acknowledgement of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably
requested. Any attempt to make an assignment otherwise than as permitted by the foregoing shall
be null and void. The Parties agree to require their respective successors, if any, to expressly
assume, in a form of agreement acceptable to the other Parties, their obligations under this
Agreement.
(c)
Severability

unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of
the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the

(e)
Arbitration Provision
. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through
the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary
to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United
States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 11(e) and the Commercial
Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11(e) 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 or for 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
18
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 (7) years experience in the energy industry.
The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the
selection of the third arbitrator. The Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and the
arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as
promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the
arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall
have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any
kind.
(f)
Rights of Limited Partners
. The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable
solely by the Parties, and no limited partner of the Partnership shall have the right, separate
and apart from the Partnership, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party
to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
(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
