Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 3, 2016, Holly Energy Partners – Operating, L.P. (“ HEP Operating ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“ HEP ”), closed its previously announced acquisition from an affiliate of HollyFrontier Corporation (“ HollyFrontier ”) of an atmospheric distillation tower (the “ CDU 2 ”), a fluid catalytic cracking unit (the “ FCC 2 ”) and a polymerization unit (the “ Poly ” and, together with the FCC 2 and the CDU 2, the “ Assets ”) located at the West Bountiful, Utah refinery (the “ Woods Cross Refinery ”) of HollyFrontier Woods Cross Refining LLC (“ HFWCR ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier (the “ Acquisition ”). The Acquisition is effective as of October 1, 2016. HollyFrontier controls the general partner of HEP.

LLC Interest Purchase Agreement

On October 3, 2016, HollyFrontier, HFWCR, HEP Operating, and HEP entered into a LLC Interest Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), with an effective date of October 1, 2016, pursuant to which HEP Operating acquired from HFWCR all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “ Interests ”) of Woods Cross Operating LLC (“ Woods Cross Operating ”), which owns the Assets. The cash consideration paid by HEP Operating for the Interests was approximately $278 million. The consideration was funded with approximately $100 million in proceeds from a previously disclosed private placement of HEP common units to certain clients of Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. and the balance with borrowings under HEP’s credit facility. The Acquisition was closed simultaneously with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. HollyFrontier controls the general partner of HEP.

As disclosed in HollyFrontier’s periodic reports, the appeal proceeding challenging the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s decision to uphold the air quality permit issued to HFWCR authorizing the expansion units at the Woods Cross Refinery is still pending. The Purchase Agreement provides HEP Operating with the option to compel HFWCR to repurchase the Interests for the full purchase price paid by HEP Operating if the Assets are required to be idled for 90 or more days as a result of a final decision in the appeal proceedings. If HEP Operating does not exercise the foregoing right and, by reason of the appeal proceedings, the Assets must be modified, then HFWCR will be responsible for the costs of such modifications.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, HollyFrontier guaranteed the payment of certain obligations of HFWCR under the Purchase Agreement, and HEP guaranteed the payment of certain obligations of HEP Operating under the Purchase Agreement.

The description of the Purchase Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

Amended and Restated Master Tolling Agreement (Operating Assets)

On October 3, 2016, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, HFWCR and HEP Operating entered into an Amended and Restated Master Tolling Agreement (Operating Assets) (the “ Tolling Agreement ”) with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The Tolling Agreement amends and restates the Tolling Agreement (Operating Assets), dated effective as of November 1, 2015, to, among other things, include the Assets within the scope thereof. The initial term of the Tolling Agreement in respect of the Assets is 15 years, and HFWCR has the option to extend the term for one additional five-year period.

Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, HEP Operating will provide processing services to HFWCR with respect to the Assets. HFWCR will pay HEP Operating the following:

 

    a tolling fee on the CDU 2 of $2.56/barrel of certain products based on a minimum commitment of 14,625 barrels per day;

 

    a tolling fee on the FCC 2 of $12.39/barrel of certain products based on a minimum commitment of 7,600 barrels per day; and

 

    a tolling fee on the Poly of $9.72/barrel of certain products based on a minimum commitment of 2,438 barrels per day.

 

1


The tolling fees are subject to various adjustments, including limited upward adjustments (a) for changes in the Producer Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods (“ PPI ”) produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Statistics, (b) for changes to the base pay under the union contract applicable to the Wood Cross Refinery, (c) if actual operating expenses for the Assets exceed assumed operating expenses, and (d) if the costs and expenses, including catalysts, reasonably incurred by HEP Operating in the first turnaround of the Assets exceed the accrued turnaround cost. In addition, (i) if the aggregate cost of gas incurred by HEP Operating in connection with the operation of the CDU 2 exceeds $11,871, HFWCR will reimburse HEP Operating the amount by which such aggregate cost exceeds $11,871 and (ii) if the aggregate cost of gas incurred by HEP Operating in connection with the operation of the FCC 2 exceeds $11,566, HFWCR will reimburse HEP Operating the amount by which such aggregate cost exceeds $11,566.

Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, HollyFrontier guaranteed the obligations of HFWCR under the Tolling Agreement, and HEP guaranteed the obligations of HEP Operating.

The description of the Tolling Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Tolling Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement

On October 3, 2016, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, HollyFrontier, HEP and certain of their respective subsidiaries entered into a Sixteenth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the “ Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement ”), with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement amends and restates the Fifteenth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated effective as of March 31, 2016, to, among other things, subject the Assets to HollyFrontier’s right of first refusal to purchase HEP’s assets that serve HollyFrontier’s refineries.

The description of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

Amended and Restated Secondment Agreement

On October 3, 2016, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. (“ Holly GP ”), the general partner of the general partner of HEP, HEP Operating, and certain subsidiaries of HEP (collectively, the “ Partnership Group ”) and HFWCR and certain subsidiaries of HollyFrontier (collectively, the “ HollyFrontier Group ”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement (the “ Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement ”), with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement, dated effective as of March 31, 2016, to, among other things, provide for the secondment of employees by the HollyFrontier Group to the Partnership Group for the purposes of performing operational, maintenance and management activities related to the Assets. During their period of secondment, the seconded employees will be under the management and supervision of the Partnership Group.

The Partnership Group will reimburse the applicable HollyFrontier Group member for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such HollyFrontier Group member with respect to the seconded employees, including their wages and benefits, based on either the percentage of time such seconded employee provides services to the Partnership Group or time such seconded employee actually spends providing services to the Partnership Group.

The description of the Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Amended and Restated Services and Secondment Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

On October 3, 2016, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, HFWCR, Woods Cross Operating and certain other subsidiaries of HollyFrontier and HEP, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement (the “ Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement ”), with an effective date of October 1, 2016. The Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement, dated effective as of March 31, 2016, to provide for a 50-year initial term lease by HFWCR to Woods Cross Operating, for a nominal amount, of the real property on which the Assets are situated. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement, HFWCR has agreed to permit Woods Cross Operating and its affiliates to have access to the Assets. The Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement also provides that, following termination or expiration of the Tolling Agreement with respect to the Assets, HFWCR will have the option to purchase the Assets for fair market value.

The description of the Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Amended and Restated Master Lease and Access Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.

10.3. Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under Applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.4. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial . 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.

EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10.5. 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 10.5 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 10.5 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 Seller, Buyer or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years’ experience in the petroleum transportation 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.

10.11. Integration . This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter.

AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER TOLLING AGREEMENT

(Operating Assets)

This Amended and Restated Master Tolling Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is dated as of October 3, 2016, to be effective as of the Effective Time (as defined below) by and between the Persons set forth on Exhibit A (each hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “ Party ” and sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Parties ”).

RECITALS:

A. Pursuant to certain transactions identified on Exhibit B (the “ Drop-Down Transactions ”) HEP Operating acquired from each Applicable Refinery Owner the assets identified on Exhibit C (the “ Applicable Assets ”) which are located at each Refinery Complex.

B. In connection with each transaction between HEP Operating and the Applicable Refinery Owner, HEP Operating leased from the Applicable Refinery Owner land at the Applicable Refinery Owner’s Refinery Complex on which all or a part of the Applicable Assets are located.

C. The Parties desire to enter into a master agreement pursuant to which HEP Operating will provide certain services to the Applicable Refinery Owner with respect to the Applicable Assets from and after the Effective Time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS

1.1 Definitions . Capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit D .

1.2 Interpretation . Matters relating to the interpretation of this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit E .

ARTICLE 2

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE SERVICES

2.1 Intent . The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which sets forth the Tolling Fees to be paid by the Applicable Refinery Owner to HEP Operating for providing certain processing services to the Applicable Refinery Owner.

2.2 Minimum Throughput Commitment . During the Applicable Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Applicable Refinery Owner agrees as follows:

(a) Throughput Commitment . Subject to Article 2 , the Applicable Refinery Owner commits to deliver to HEP Operating at the location of each Applicable Asset the Minimum Throughput Commitment of Feedstock for each Contract Quarter, and pay the Tolling Fees in exchange for HEP Operating providing the services necessary to process the Feedstock into the Products.

 

1


(b) Tolling Fees . The Applicable Refinery Owner shall pay the Tolling Fees for all quantities of Feedstock processed through the Applicable Asset in each Contract Quarter during the Applicable Term.

(c) Adjustment of Tolling Fees . The Tolling Fees shall be adjusted in the manner set forth on Exhibit C . To evidence the Parties’ agreement to each adjusted Tolling Fee, the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C shall be sequentially numbered ( e.g . Exhibit C-1 , Exhibit C-2 , etc .), dated and appended as an additional exhibit to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Exhibit C in its entirety, after its date of effectiveness.

(d) Reduction for Non-Force Majeure Events .

(1) If, as a result of HEP Operating’s operational difficulties or inability to provide sufficient capacity for the Minimum Throughput Commitment, HEP Operating fails to process and deliver to the Applicable Refinery Owner at least 95% of the volumes of Products expected to be derived from the volume of Feedstock processed with such Applicable Asset for a particular Contract Quarter based on the applicable Conversion Ratio, then the Tolling Fee applicable to that Contract Quarter will be reduced by a percentage equal to (A) 100% minus (B) the percentage represented by the ratio of (i) the volume of Products actually produced for the Contract Quarter to (ii) the volume of Products that would be produced from the volume of Feedstock delivered for the Contract Quarter based on the Conversion Ratio plus (C) 5%.

(2) If the Aggregate Capacity of any Applicable Asset for any Contract Quarter is less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter, including any time period during which HEP Operating is performing a turnaround on the Applicable Asset, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter will be reduced by a percentage equal to (A) 100% minus (B) the percentage represented by the ratio of (i) the Aggregate Capacity for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter to (ii) the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such the Contract Quarter.

If, as a result of a reduction to the Tolling Fee or Minimum Throughput Commitment for a Contract Quarter under this Section 2.2(d) the Applicable Refinery Owner shall have overpaid its Tolling Fees for the Contract Quarter, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall receive a credit against its Tolling Fees or other obligations to HEP Operating as provided in Exhibit C . This Section 2.2(d) shall not apply in the event HEP Operating gives a Force Majeure Notice in accordance with the terms of Article IX of the Omnibus Agreement, in which case the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be suspended to the extent contemplated in Article IX of the Omnibus Agreement and Article 3 of this Agreement.

(e) Pro-Rationing for Partial Periods . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.2 , in the event that the Effective Time is any date other than the first day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for the initial partial Contract Quarter shall be prorated based upon the number of actual days between the date on which the Effective Time occurs and the end of such partial Contract Quarter. Similarly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.2 , if the end of the Applicable Term is on a day other than the last day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be prorated based upon the number of actual days between the beginning of such partial Contract Quarter and the last day of the Applicable Term.

 

2


2.3 Measurement and Ownership of Delivered Volumes . Matters with respect to the measurement of delivered volumes of Feedstock and Products are set forth on Exhibit F . Applicable Refinery Owner shall at all times retain title to the Feedstock and the Products.

2.4 Obligations of HEP Operating . During the Applicable Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, HEP Operating agrees to:

(a) own or lease, operate and maintain (directly or through a Subsidiary) the Applicable Assets and all related assets necessary to process the applicable Feedstock and produce and deliver the applicable Products to the Applicable Refinery Owner at the throughput levels required by this Agreement;

(b) provide the services required under this Agreement and perform all operations relating to the Applicable Assets; and

(c) maintain adequate property and liability insurance covering the Applicable Assets and any related assets owned by HEP Operating or its Affiliates and necessary for the operation of the Applicable Assets.

Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 2.4 , subject to right of first refusal under Article V the Omnibus Agreement, HEP Operating or its Affiliate is free to sell any of its assets, including any Applicable Assets, and the Applicable Refinery Owner is free to merge with another entity and to sell all of its assets or equity to another entity at any time.

2.5 Notification of Utilization of Services . During the Applicable Term, the Applicable Refinery Owner will provide to HEP Operating written notification of the Applicable Refinery Owner’s reasonable good faith estimate of its anticipated future volumes of Feedstock to be delivered and the Applicable Refinery Owners’ requirements for Products as soon as reasonably practicable.

2.6 Scheduling and Accepting Movement . HEP Operating will use its reasonable commercial efforts to process, and schedule movement and accept movements of, Feedstocks in a manner that is consistent with the historical dealings between the Parties and their Affiliates, as such dealings may change from time to time.

2.7 Taxes . The Applicable Refinery Owner will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on or with respect to the Feedstocks processed and Products delivered to the Applicable Refinery Owner by HEP Operating. HEP Operating will pay all property and ad valorem taxes levied on, or with respect to, the Applicable Assets. Should either Party be required to pay or collect any taxes, duties, charges and or assessments pursuant to any Applicable Law or authority now in effect or hereafter to become effective which are payable by the any other Party pursuant to this Section 2.6 , the Party subject to such tax shall promptly reimburse the Party collecting or paying the tax on its behalf for the amount of such tax.

2.8 Timing of Payments . The Applicable Refinery Owner will make payments to HEP Operating by electronic payment with immediately available funds on a monthly basis during the

 

3


Applicable Term with respect to services rendered or reimbursable costs or expenses incurred by HEP Operating under this Agreement in the prior month. Payments not received by HEP Operating on or prior to the tenth day following the invoice date will accrue interest at the Prime Rate from the applicable payment due date until the date payment is made.

2.9 Increases in Tolling Fees . If new Applicable Laws are enacted that require HEP Operating to make capital expenditures with respect to the Applicable Assets, HEP Operating may amend the Tolling Fees in the manner set forth in Exhibit G in order to recover HEP Operating’s cost of complying with such new Applicable Laws (as determined by HEP Operating in good faith and assuming that such capital expenditures are financed at a reasonable rate and amortized on a mortgage style basis over a period equal to the then remaining Initial Term (or if such capital expenditures are incurred during any Expansion Term, the then remaining Expansion Term)). The Applicable Refinery Owner and HEP Operating shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply with such new Applicable Laws, and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of such new Applicable Laws and to determine the amount of the new Tolling Fee rates. If the Applicable Refinery Owner and HEP Operating are unable to agree on the amount of the new Tolling Fee rates that HEP Operating will charge, such Tolling Fee rates will be resolved in the manner provided for in Article VIII of the Omnibus Agreement. Any other applicable exhibit to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any changes in Tolling Fee rates established in accordance with this Section 2.9 .

2.10 No Guaranteed Minimum . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, there is no requirement that the Applicable Refinery Owner actually deliver any minimum quantity of Feedstock to the Applicable Assets, it being understood that the Applicable Refinery Owner’s obligation for failing to deliver sufficient quantities of Feedstock to satisfy the Minimum Throughput Commitment for any Contract Quarter is to make Deficiency Payments as provided in Article 6 .

ARTICLE 3

FORCE MAJEURE

The rights and obligations of the Parties upon the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure will be determined in the manner set forth in Article IX of the Omnibus Agreement; provided that (a) any suspension of the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement as a result of an event of Force Majeure shall extend the Applicable Term (to the extent so affected) for a period equivalent to the duration of the inability set forth in the Force Majeure Notice, (b) the Applicable Refinery Owner will be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event, and (c) if a Force Majeure event prevents either Party from performing substantially all of their respective obligations under this Agreement relating to a group of Applicable Assets for a period of more than twelve (12) consecutive months, this Agreement may be terminated as to such Applicable Assets (but not as to unaffected Applicable Assets) by either Party providing written notice thereof to the other Party.

4

ARTICLE 6

DEFICIENCY PAYMENTS

6.1 Deficiency Notice; Deficiency Payments . As soon as practicable following the end of each Contract Quarter, HEP Operating shall deliver to the Applicable Refinery Owner a written notice (the “ Deficiency Notice ”) detailing any failure of the Applicable Refinery Owner to meet the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter. The Deficiency Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the excess of (i) the dollar amount of the Tolling Fee that HEP Operating would have been paid by the Applicable Refinery Owner if the Applicable Refinery Owner had complied with its Minimum Throughput Commitment obligations for such Contract Quarter pursuant to this Agreement over (ii) the dollar amount of the Tolling Fee payable based on the Feedstock actually processed during such Contract Quarter (the “ Deficiency Payment ”). The Applicable Refinery Owner shall pay the Deficiency Payment to HEP Operating upon the later of: (A) ten (10) days after the Applicable Refinery Owner’s receipt of the Deficiency Notice and (B) thirty (30) days following the end of the related Contract Quarter, unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case the due date for payment shall be the next Business Day.

6.2 Disputed Deficiency Notices . If the Applicable Refinery Owner disagrees with all or any portion of the Deficiency Notice, then, prior to the due date of the Deficiency Payment, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall (i) send HEP Operating a written notice with an explanation of the basis for the dispute (a “ Dispute Notice ”) and (ii) pay HEP Operating the portion of the Deficiency Payment not disputed in such Dispute Notice. Thereafter, a senior officer of HollyFrontier (on behalf of the Applicable Refinery Owner) and a senior officer of the Partnership (on behalf of HEP Operating) shall meet in person or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary and shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any matters set forth in such Dispute Notice. During the thirty (30)-day period following the Applicable Refinery Owner’s timely delivery of such Dispute Notice, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall have reasonable access to the working papers of HEP Operating relating to the Deficiency Notice. If the matters set forth in such Dispute Notice are not resolved within thirty (30) days following the Applicable Refinery Owner’s timely delivery of such Dispute Notice, the Applicable Refinery Owner and HEP Operating shall, within forty-five (45) days following the Applicable Refinery Owner’s timely delivery of such Dispute Notice, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute to dispute resolution in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement.

6.3 Payment of Amounts No Longer Disputed . If it is finally determined pursuant to this Article 6 that the Applicable Refinery Owner is required to pay any or all of the disputed portion of the Deficiency Payment, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall pay such amount to HEP Operating, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds within ten (10) days of such final determination.

6.4 Contract Quarters Independent . The fact that the Applicable Refinery Owner has exceeded or fallen short of the Minimum Throughput Commitment with respect to any Contract Quarter shall not be considered in determining whether the Applicable Refinery Owner meets, exceeds or falls short of the Minimum Throughput Commitment with respect to any other Contract Quarter, and the amount of any such excess or shortfall shall not be counted towards or against the Minimum Throughput Commitment with respect to any other Contract Quarter.

Exhibit C-2


2. El Dorado Only: The Tolling Fee shall never be less than $.36 per BBL of Feedstock, subject to a one-time potential reduction in the Tolling Fee for the adjustment in paragraph 4 below. If as a result of a reduction to the Tolling Fee or Minimum Throughput Commitment for a Contract Quarter pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement, the Applicable Refinery Owner has overpaid its Tolling Fees for a Contract Quarter, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall receive a credit against its Tolling Fees due for the following Contract Quarter in the amount of such overpayment.
3. El Dorado Only: The Tolling Fee, as previously adjusted on a cumulative basis, shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year, commencing July 1, 2017, by an amount equal to a percentage calculated as follows: (A) 0.75 x the change in the PPI as described below, plus (B) 0.25 x the annual HollyFrontier Merit Compensation Adjustment (positive or negative) for
 

 

Exhibit C-3


  such calendar year. The change in the PPI is the upper change in the annual change rounded to four decimal places of the Producers Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods, (PPI), et al. (“PPI”), produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Labor Statistics. The series ID is WPUFD49207– located at http://www.bls.gov/data/. The change in PPI for each year 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); provided that the change in PPI in any year shall not be less than one percent (1%) or more than three percent (3%). For the avoidance of doubt, if the change in PPI in any year is less than one percent (1%) (including if the change in the PPI is negative) it will be rounded up to one percent (1%) and if the change in PPI in any year is greater than three percent (3%) it will be rounded down to three percent (3%). If either index is no longer published, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index (as applicable) that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Tolling Fee. If the Parties are unable to agree on a new index, a new index will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Article VIII of Omnibus Agreement, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Tolling Fee. The annual HollyFrontier Merit Compensation Adjustment is the company-wide increase (or decrease) in salary for the year in which the adjustment occurs as determined by the HollyFrontier Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Human Resources (excluding merit compensation adjustments for executive officers that are determined by the HollyFrontier Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) and excluding any annual increases for union employees). Examples of the annual Tolling Fee adjustment under various scenarios are as follows:

 

  (1) if the change in PPI is 0% and the HFC Merit Compensation Adjustment is 3.5%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.75 x 1%) + (0.25 x 3.5%) = 1.625%
  (2) if the change in PPI is 2% and the HFC Merit Compensation Adjustment is 2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.75 x 2%) + (0.25 x 2%) = 2%
  (3) if the change in PPI is 5% and the HFC Merit Compensation Adjustment is 2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.75 x 3%) + (0.25 x 2%) = 2.75%
  (4) if the change in PPI is 0% and the HFC Merit Compensation Adjustment is -2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.75 x 1%) + (0.25 x (-2%)) = 0.25%

 

4. At the end of the first four (4) Contract Quarters during the Applicable Term, HEP Operating shall calculate the aggregate operating expenses incurred in the operation of the Applicable Asset (but such calculation shall not include turnaround accruals, capitalized catalyst costs, fuel gas costs and extraordinary and non-recurring items of expense that are not reasonably expected to recur in future periods during the Applicable Term) (“OPEX”). In the event that such aggregate OPEX exceed the Assumed OPEX set forth above, (A) the Applicable Refinery Owner shall, within ten (10) days of receiving an invoice from HEP Operating, reimburse HEP Operating for such OPEX incurred during such initial four (4) Contract Quarters in excess of the Assumed OPEX, and (B) from and after the first four (4) Contract Quarters during the Applicable Term, HEP Operating shall increase the Tolling Fee for processing with the Applicable Asset by the amount necessary to recover such aggregate OPEX in excess of the Assumed OPEX for the remainder of the Applicable Term, and the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C reflecting such aggregate OPEX as the new Assumed OPEX. In the event that such aggregate OPEX is less than the Assumed OPEX, HEP Operating shall decrease the Tolling Fee by the amount necessary to account for the difference between the Assumed OPEX and such actual OPEX for the remainder of the Applicable Term, and the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C reflecting such aggregate OPEX as the new Assumed OPEX.
5. At the end of the first four (4) Contract Quarters during the Applicable Term, HEP Operating shall determine its aggregate capital expenditures relating to the construction and start-up of the Applicable Asset (“CAPEX”). HEP Operating shall amend and increase the Tolling Fee for the remainder of the Initial Term by the following formulae: For the El Dorado Assets: (aggregate CAPEX/9.0) ÷ (Minimum Throughput Commitment (on a BPD basis) x 365.25); and for the Woods Cross Assets: (aggregate CAPEX/8.5) ÷ (Minimum Throughput (on a BPD basis) x 365.25).
6. After the first turnaround on the Applicable Asset during the Applicable Term, HEP Operating will calculate its aggregate Turnaround Costs incurred in connection therewith. In the event such aggregate Turnaround Costs for the Applicable Asset exceeds the Accrued Turnaround Cost set forth above then (A) a turnaround surcharge (the “Turnaround Surcharge”) will be added to the Tolling Fee based on each BBL of Feedstock (using the Minimum Throughput Commitment) in order to allow HEP Operating to recover (i) such Turnaround Costs in excess of the Accrued Turnaround Cost plus (ii) a ten percent (10%) return on such excess (the aggregate amount specified in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Turnaround Payment”). Such Turnaround Surcharge shall be paid by the Applicable Refinery Owner to HEP Operating on each BBL of Feedstock processed through the Applicable Asset until the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the Applicable Term or (ii) the recovery by HEP Operating of the Turnaround Payment. In addition, the Tolling Fee will be adjusted by the amount necessary to recover the new estimated turnaround expense for the remainder of the Applicable Term (based on the Minimum Throughput Commitment).
7. If at the end of any calendar month during the Applicable Term the aggregate cost of gas incurred by HEP Operating in connection with the operation of the Applicable Assets exceeds the Assumed Fuel Gas Cost, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall promptly pay to HEP Operating an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, of (i) the aggregate cost of fuel gas incurred by HEP Operating in connection with the operation of the Applicable Assets during such calendar month less (ii) the Assumed Fuel Gas Cost.
 

 

Exhibit C-4


8. Determined on a Contract Quarter basis.
9. Woods Cross Only: The Tolling Fee, as previously adjusted on a cumulative basis, shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year, commencing July 1, 2017, by an amount equal to a percentage calculated as follows: (A) 0. 5 x the change in the PPI as described below, plus (B) 0.5 x the annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract. The change in the PPI is the upper change in the annual change rounded to four decimal places of the Producers Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods, (PPI), et al. (“PPI”), produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Labor Statistics. The series ID is WPUFD49207– located at http://www.bls.gov/data/. The change in PPI for each year 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). If either index is no longer published, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index (as applicable) that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Tolling Fee. If the Parties are unable to agree on a new index, a new index will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Article VIII of Omnibus Agreement, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Tolling Fee. The annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract is the annual base pay increase given to union employees at Woods Cross, currently on or about February 1 of each year. Examples of the annual Tolling Fee adjustment under various scenarios are as follows:

(1) if the change in PPI is 0% and the annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract is 3.5%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.5 x 0%) + (0.5 x 3.5%) = 1.75%

(2) if the change in PPI is 2% and the annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract is 2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.5 x 2%) + (0.5 x 2%) = 2%

(3) if the change in PPI is 5% and the annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract is 2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.5 x 5%) + (0.5 x 2%) = 3.5%10.

(4) if the change in PPI is -1% and the annual increase under the then current Woods Cross union contract is 2%, the Tolling Fee adjustment would be (0.5 x -1%) + (0.5 x 2%) = 0.5%.

 

10. Woods Cross Only: If the Applicable Refinery Owner has overpaid its monthly Tolling Fees after adjustments to Tolling Fees or Minimum Throughput Commitments for a Contract Quarter pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall be entitled to apply any such overpayment as a credit against Tolling Fees within the succeeding twelve months for volumes of Feedstock delivered to HEP Operating in excess of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for any of the Applicable Assets. If any such overpayment has not been credited within twelve months of the overpayment, such overpayment shall be credited against Tolling Fees due with respect to any Minimum Throughput Commitment for any of the Applicable Assets, or if there are no such Tolling Fees due, such overpayment shall be credited against any other obligations owed by the Applicable Refinery Owner, or its Affiliates, to HEP Operating.

Delivery volumes of feedstock shall be determined for each BBL unit of measure with the metered data stored at

 

(a) tags 24FC4010, 24FC4025, 24FC4021a, 24FC4022A, 24FC4031, 24FC4028a or 24FC4029a for the Crude Unit 2

 

(b) tags 25FC4106, 25Fl4144 (MSCFD), 25FC4153, 25FC4156, 25FC4131 and 25FC4126 for the FCC Unit 2, and

 

(c) tags 26Fl4040, 26FC4105, 26Fl4106 and 26Fl4009 for the Polymerization Unit. 2

 

1. For the Naphtha Fractionation Unit, the expected conversion ratio of light naphtha and heavy naphtha to isopentane, ISOM feed, intermediate naphtha and reformer feed is 1 BBL to 1 BBL.

Examples of the reduction in Tolling Fees and the Minimum Throughput Commitment for non-Force Majeure Events that may occur under Section 2.2(d)(1) and (2)  of the Agreement are as follows:

Section 2.2(d)(1) – The Minimum Throughput Commitment of 48,750 BPD of light naphtha and heavy naphtha converts to 48,750 BPD of isopentane, ISOM feed, intermediate naphtha and reformer feed (the “ NFC Products ”) based on a Conversion Ratio of 1 to 1. If the NFC Products produced are 46,312.5 BPD (95%) or more, then there would be no adjustment to the Tolling Fee.

Example A: If the Minimum Throughput Commitment of Feedstock is delivered by the Applicable Refinery Owner to HEP Operating at the Applicable Asset for a particular Contract Quarter and the NFC Products produced by HEP Operating for such Contract Quarter is on average 43,875 BPD (90% of the Conversion Ratio for the Minimum Throughput Commitment), the Tolling Fee for such Contract Quarter would be reduced by 5% from $.36 per BBL (100%) to $.342 per BBL (95%).

Example B: If the Minimum Throughput Commitment of Feedstock is delivered by the Applicable Refinery Owner to HEP Operating at the Applicable Asset for a particular Contract Quarter and the NFC Products produced by HEP Operating for such Contract Quarter is on average 41,437.5 BPD (85% of the Conversion Ratio for the Minimum Throughput Commitment), the Tolling Fee for such Contract Quarter would be reduced by 10% from $.36 BBL (100%) to $.324 per BBL (90%).

 

Exhibit F-1


Section 2.2(d)(2) – If the Aggregate Capacity of any Applicable Asset for any Contract Quarter is less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter will be reduced by a percentage equal to (A) 100% minus (B) the percentage represented by the ratio of (i) the Aggregate Capacity for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter to (ii) the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter.

Example A: If the Aggregate Capacity of any Applicable Asset for a Contract Quarter is on average 46,312.5 BPD (95% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter), then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter would be reduced to 46,312.5 BPD of light naphtha and heavy naphtha (95% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter).

Example B: If the Aggregate Capacity of any Applicable Asset for a Contract Quarter is on average 43,875 BPD (90% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter), then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter would be reduced to 43,875 BPD of light naphtha and heavy naphtha (90% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter).

 

2. For the Crude Unit 2, the expected conversion ratio of Feedstock to Products is 1 BBL to 1 BBL. For the FCC Unit 2, the expected conversion ratio is 1 BBL to 1.03 BBL. For the Polymerization Unit, the expected conversion ratio is 1 BBL to 0.90 BBL. The examples in footnote 1 above demonstrate the reduction in Tolling Fees and Minimum Throughput Commitments for non-Force Majeure Events that may occur under Section 2.2(d)(1) and (2) of the Agreement for the Woods Cross Assets.

  (b) If, at any time, HEP abandons such opportunity (as evidenced in writing by HEP to the HFC Group Member), Holly GP or the HFC Group Member may pursue such opportunity. Any Permitted Assets which are permitted to be acquired by Holly GP or a HFC Group Member must be so acquired:

 

  (i) within 12 months of the later to occur of (A) the date that Holly GP or the HFC Group Member becomes able to pursue such acquisition in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3 , and (B) the date upon which all required governmental approvals to consummate such acquisition have been obtained, and

 

  (ii) on terms not materially more favorable to Holly GP or the HFC Group Member than were offered to HEP.

If either of these conditions are not satisfied, the opportunity must be reoffered to HEP in accordance with Section 2.3(a) .

 

  (c) Section 2.3(a) shall not apply if Holly GP or a HFC Group Member:

 

  (i) becomes aware of an opportunity to make an acquisition that includes Permitted Assets and assets that are not Permitted Assets, and the Permitted Assets have a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million but comprise less than half of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) of the total assets being considered for acquisition, or

 

  (ii) desires to construct Permitted Assets with an estimated construction cost (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million;

provided, however, that in each case Holly GP or a HFC Group Member, as the case may be, shall comply with Section 2.4 .

2.4 Procedure for Offering Acquired or Constructed Assets to HEP .

 

  (a)

Within 180 days after the consummation of the acquisition or the completion of construction by Holly GP or a HFC Group Member of the Permitted Assets, as the case may be, Holly GP or the HFC Group Member shall notify HEP in writing of such acquisition or construction and offer HEP the opportunity to purchase such Permitted Assets (the “ Offer ”). The Offer shall set forth the terms

  relating to the purchase of the Permitted Assets, and, if Holly GP or any HFC Group Member desires to utilize the Permitted Assets, the Offer will also include (i) the commercially reasonable terms on which the HEP Group will provide services to Holly GP or the HFC Group Member to enable Holly GP or the HFC Group Member to utilize the Permitted Assets and (ii) the terms of any service agreements, leases or access agreements to be provided to HEP by Holly GP or the HFC Group relating to such assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such written notification, HEP shall notify Holly GP or the HFC Group Member in writing that HEP has elected (i) not to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which event Holly GP or the HFC Group Member shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Permitted Assets, or (ii) to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which event Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(c) shall apply.

 

  (b) If within 60 days after receipt by HEP of the Offer, Holly GP or the HFC Group Member and HEP are able to agree on the fair market value of the subject Permitted Assets and the other terms of the Offer including, the terms, if any, on which the HEP Group will provide services to Holly GP or the HFC Group Member to enable it to utilize the Permitted Assets, a HEP Group Member shall purchase the Permitted Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if required by the Offer or otherwise agreed, enter into an agreement with Holly GP or the HFC Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer.

 

  (c) If Holly GP or the HFC Group Member and HEP are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by HEP of the Offer on the fair market value of the subject Permitted Assets and/or the other terms of the Offer, Holly GP or the HFC Entity, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand, will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the disputed terms. Such investment banking firm will determine the disputed terms within 30 days of its engagement and furnish Holly GP or the HFC Group Member, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand, its determination. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between Holly GP or the HFC Group Member, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand. Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the disputed terms, HEP will have the right, but not the obligation, to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. HEP will provide written notice of its decision to Holly GP or the HFC 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 Permitted Assets. If HEP elects to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, then the HEP Group Member shall purchase the Permitted 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 HFC Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm, if applicable.

2.6 Enforcement . Holly GP and the HFC Group Members agree and acknowledge that the HEP Group does not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach by Holly GP and the HFC Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II , and that any breach by Holly GP and the HFC Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II would result in irreparable injury to the HEP Group. Holly GP and the HFC Group Members further agree and acknowledge that any HEP Group Member may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to the HEP Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin Holly GP and the HFC Group from such breach and hereby consent to the issuance of injunctive relief under this Agreement.

2.7 Limitation on Acquisitions of Permitted Assets by HEP Group Members . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a HEP Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement is prohibited from acquiring Permitted Assets. In the event HEP desires a HEP Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement to acquire any Permitted Assets, then the General Partner shall first cause such HEP Group Member to become a party to this Agreement.

2.8 Termination of Article II . The provisions of this Article II may be terminated by HFC upon a Change of Control of HFC.

3.7 Indemnification Procedures .

 

  (a) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a Claim for indemnification under this Article III , it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim.

 

  (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article III , including, 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, 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 making available to the Indemnifying Party any employees of the Indemnified Party.

 

  (d) In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in Section 3.7(c) 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.

  (i) agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party;

 

10

  (iii) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.7 .

 

  (f) The amounts for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article III shall be reduced by the net amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to contractual indemnities from any Third Party (other than pursuant to insurance policies that are not required to include a waiver of subrogation pursuant to Section 3.9 ) after deducting the reasonable unreimbursed out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts (the “ Net Recovery ”). If the Indemnified Party receives a Net Recovery subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party under this Article III , 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 Net Recovery. An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to pursue all contractual indemnities (including insurance claims) that such Indemnified Party has with any Third Party, 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, making its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Party’s pursuit of such claim.

 

  (g) For avoidance of doubt, no Claim may be asserted pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 following the applicable expiration of the indemnity related to such Claim; provided that any Claim asserted in writing prior to the expiration date of such indemnity that is the basis for such Claim shall survive until such Claim is finally resolved and satisfied. The date on which notification of a Claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such Claim is timely made.

  (c) For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification obligations of the HFC Entities in Article III with respect to any indemnifiable losses incurred by or attributable to the UNEV Pipeline shall be (i) limited to an amount that is the product of (x) the amount of such losses, multiplied by (y) HEP UNEV’s direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in the UNEV Pipeline at the time such losses were incurred and (ii) payable to, for the benefit of and recoverable solely by HEP UNEV or any HEP Entity designated by HEP UNEV (and not by UNEV Pipeline, LLC).

To the extent that any of the HFC Entities or HEP Entities in fact receive full indemnification payments pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(viii) or Section 3.4(a)(iii) hereof, as the case may be, the HFC Entity or HEP Entity paying such Claim shall be subrogated to the receiving party’s rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the HFC Entities and the HEP Entities, hereby waives and releases, and shall cause their respective insurers, to waive and release, all rights against each other and any of their respective contractors, subsidiaries, consultants, agents and employees for loss or damages to any of the Transferred Assets to the extent of fire and other hazards covered by property insurance applicable to the property to which such loss or damage occurs, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance. For the purposes of this Section 3.9 , all deductibles shall be considered insured losses. Without limiting the foregoing, all of the Parties’ policies of property insurance for the Transferred Assets shall be endorsed to provide a complete waiver for the benefit of the other Parties and their Affiliates of (i) any right of recovery which the insurer may have or acquire against the other Parties or any of its Affiliates, or its or their employees, officers or directors for payments made or to be made under such policies and (ii) any lien or right of subrogation which the insurer may have or acquire for payments made or to be made to any person or entity who asserts a Claim against such other Parties or any of its Affiliates, or its or their employees, officers or directors.

  (b) The HEP Entities are prohibited from Transferring any of the Assets to a HEP Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement.

5.2 Procedures .

 

  (a) If a HEP Entity proposes to Transfer any of the Assets to any Person pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer (an “ Acquisition Proposal ”), then HEP shall promptly give written notice (a “ Disposition Notice ”) thereof to HFC. The Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer:

 

  (i) the name and address of the prospective acquiror (the “ Proposed Transferee ”);

 

  (ii) the Assets subject to the Acquisition Proposal (the “ Sale Assets ”);

 

  (iii) the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee (the “ Offer Price ”);

 

  (iv) reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow HFC to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration;

 

  (v) the HEP Entities’ estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration; and

 

  (vi) all other material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal that are then known to the HEP Entities.

 

  (b) To the extent the Acquisition Proposal 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 HFC and the HEP Entities agree as to the fair market value of any non-cash consideration, HFC 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.

 

14


  (c) In the event (i) HFC’s determination of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by HFC within 30 days of receipt of such Disposition Notice) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by the HEP Entities in the Disposition Notice and (ii) HFC and the HEP Entities are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after HFC notifies the HEP Entities of its determination thereof, the HEP Entities and HFC 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 HFC and the HEP Entities. HFC will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to the HEP 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 HFC not to purchase the Sale Assets.

 

  (d) If HFC fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 5.2 , HFC 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 such Sale Assets.

 

  (e) If HFC chooses to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets under Sections 5.1(a) and 5.2(c) , HFC and the HEP Entities shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Sale Assets which shall include the following terms:

 

  (i) HFC will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (or any other consideration agreed to by HFC and the HEP Entities (each in their sole discretion));

 

  (ii) the HEP Entities will represent that they have good, indefeasible and unencumbered 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 Sale Assets, plus any other reasonable and customary matters and such matters as HFC may approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If HFC desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the Sale Assets, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including the cost of title examination, document duplication and policy premium) shall be borne by HFC;

 

  (iii) the HEP Entities will grant to HFC the right, exercisable at HFC’s risk and expense, to conduct such surveys, tests and inspections of the Sale Assets as HFC may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the Sale Assets or interfere with the activities of the HEP Entities thereon and so long as HFC has furnished the HEP Entities with evidence that adequate liability insurance is in full force and effect;

 

15


  (iv) HFC 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(e)(ii) or Section 5.2(e)(iii) above are, in the reasonable opinion of HFC, unsatisfactory;

  (e) The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.

 

  (f) The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between the Claimant and Respondent to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Claimant and Respondent, no unrelated disputes (including those with Affiliates of either Claimant or Respondent) or Third Party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
