Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
     As of February 25, 2008, Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “ Partnership ”) and Holly Corporation ( “Holly, ” and together with the Partnership, the “ Parties ”), entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) for the Partnership to acquire certain pipeline and tankage assets from Holly for a purchase price of $180 million (the “ Acquisition ”). The purchase price consists of approximately $171,000,000 in cash and common units of the Partnership valued at approximately $9,000,000. The pipeline and tankage assets primarily consist of certain crude oil trunk lines and gathering lines, product and crude oil pipelines and tankage that service Holly’s Lovington and Artesia, New Mexico refining facilities and Woods Cross refining facilities, near Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as a leased jet fuel terminal. The crude oil trunk line assets consist of the Lovington Delivery System, which is an 80 mile system composed of five separate pipelines that service the Lovington refining facility and several associated crude oil storage tanks, and the Artesia Delivery System, which is a 56 mile system composed of eight separate pipelines that service the Artesia refining facility and several associated crude oil storage tanks. The crude gathering operations are located in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico and consist of 47 miles of crude gathering pipelines, over 675 miles of lease connection pipelines, and an additional 22 crude oil tanks. The products pipeline assets consist of a 36 mile pipeline currently dedicated to jet fuel transportation between the Artesia refining facility and a leased jet fuel terminal at Roswell, New Mexico, a 4 mile pipeline dedicated to transporting refined products from the Woods Cross refining facility to the Chevron Pipeline, and a 2 mile pipeline currently dedicated to transporting refined products from the Woods Cross refining facility to the Pioneer Pipeline. The assets also include a 4 mile pipeline dedicated to crude oil transportation from the Chevron Pipeline to the Woods Cross refining facility. The leased jet fuel terminal that is included in the pipeline and tankage assets is leased from the City of Roswell pursuant to a lease agreement expiring in September 2011 that may be renewed for an additional five year term.
     Historically, the pipeline and tankage assets that the Partnership has agreed to acquire from Holly have been operated as part of its more extensive transportation, terminalling, crude oil and refined and intermediate products operations. As a result, Holly has not maintained separate financial statements for these assets.
     The Partnership will finance the Acquisition by borrowing approximately $171 million under its credit facility and the issuance of common units of the Partnership, valued at approximately $9 million, to subsidiaries of Holly. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition the Parties will enter into a 15-year pipelines and tankage agreement (the “ Pipelines and Tankage Agreement ”) containing minimum annual revenue commitments from Holly, and the Partnership will grant Holly a second mortgage on the transferred assets to secure the Partnership’s performance under the Pipelines and Tankage Agreement. Holly controls the general partner of the Partnership and owns a 45% interest in the Partnership (before the issuance of the common units of the Partnership to Holly at the closing of the Acquisition), including the general partner interest.
     The description of the Purchase Agreement and Pipelines and Tankage Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copies of the Purchase Agreement and Pipelines and Tankage Agreement, including exhibits, filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1, respectively, to this report, which are incorporated by reference into this report in their entirety.

Primarily, the Amendment increased the maximum amount of the revolving credit facility from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000 (which amount can, upon Borrower’s request and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, be increased by an additional $70,000,000). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will be used to finance the cash payment of $171,000,000 for the Acquisition.
     The description of the Amendment herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Amendment, including exhibits, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

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 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.

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%.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced, and, in the case of any waiver by the Partnership Entities, approved by the Conflicts Committee. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder, and no course of conduct, shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. No single or partial exercise of a right hereunder shall preclude further or complete exercise of that right or any other right hereunder.
     (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 (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of the Partnership Entities without Holly’s consent, (ii) the Holly Entities may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial assignment) to an Affiliate of the Holly Entities without the consent of the Conflicts Committee, (iii) the Holly Entities may make a collateral assignment of their rights and obligations hereunder and/or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Drop-Down Assets to any bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them, and (iv) the Partnership Entities may make a collateral assignment of their rights hereunder and/or grant a 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.

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. 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 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 appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

Holly Energy Partners and Holly Corporation Announce Definitive Agreement for Acquisition of Pipeline and Tankage Assets
DALLAS, TX, February 26, 2008 — Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:HEP) and Holly Corporation (NYSE:HOC) today announced a definitive agreement for the acquisition by Holly Energy from Holly of certain pipeline and tankage assets for approximately $180 million. The purchase price of $180 million consists of approximately $171 million in cash and Holly Energy common units valued at approximately $9 million. It is anticipated that this transaction will close on February 29, 2008, and will become effective March 1, 2008. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions.
Holly Energy expects the assets being acquired will result in approximately $20 million of incremental EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to HEP. The estimated annual maintenance capital required for these assets is approximately $1.5 million. In connection with the closing of the proposed transaction, Holly and Holly Energy will enter into a 15-year pipelines and tankage agreement containing minimum annual revenue commitments from Holly. The initial minimum annual revenue guarantee is set at $25.3 million, and will increase annually based on a formula using the Producer Price Index (PPI).
Holly Energy has arranged to finance the $171 million cash portion of the acquisition through the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. This facility has been increased from $100 million to $300 million pursuant to an amendment to the credit facility which was signed yesterday. Union Bank of California is administrative agent for this facility. This facility terminates in August 2011. Additionally, Holly Energy anticipates entering into floating-to-fixed rate interest rate swaps for all or a portion of the $171 million borrowed under the revolving credit facility.
This transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors for both Holly Energy and Holly after approvals by the Conflicts Committee for Holly Energy, which is comprised solely of independent outside directors for Holly Energy, and the Holly Audit Committee, which is composed solely of outside directors of Holly. The Boards of Directors for both companies have obtained fairness opinions from financial advisory firms in connection with this proposed transaction.
These assets being acquired consist of:
    The Navajo Refinery crude oil delivery system—Approximately 136 miles of crude oil trunk lines delivering crude to the Navajo refining facility in Southeast New Mexico.

 


 

 
    Western Permian Basin crude gathering lines plus lease connection lines—Approximately 725 miles of gathering and connection pipelines located in West Texas and New Mexico. These lines primarily connect to the acquired crude oil refinery delivery system.
 
    Refinery on-site crude tankage located within the Navajo and Woods Cross refinery complexes, with approximately 600,000 barrels per day of storage capacity.
 
    Artesia to Roswell, New Mexico jet fuel products pipeline and terminal (terminal leased through September 2011).
 
    Woods Cross Refinery pipelines—Approximately 10 miles of crude oil and product pipelines.
“As we noted when we originally announced this transaction in November, 2007, this acquisition fits well into Holly Energy’s strategy of disciplined growth through the addition or expansion of steady income generating assets. As with all of Holly Energy’s existing assets, this acquisition consists of assets generating 100% fee based transportation and terminal revenues. We expect this transaction will be immediately positive for Holly Energy’s distributable cashflow. These assets, coupled with Holly Energy’s current set of organic projects, should allow Holly Energy to continue with its strong track record of providing growth to its limited partners. We’re especially pleased to be able to finance this transaction with our bank credit facility and anticipate being able to secure a very favorable fixed interest rate with the addition of the interest rate swap”, said Matt Clifton, Chairman and CEO of Holly and Holly Energy.
