In addition, if the aggregate cost of gas incurred by HEP Operating in connection with the operation of the HGU3 exceeds $136,156 in a calendar month, FEDR will reimburse HEP Operating the amount by which the aggregate cost exceeds $136,156.

HollyFrontier will guarantee the obligations of FEDR under the HGU3 Tolling Agreement, and HEP will guarantee the obligations of HEP Operating.

11


9.4. Limitations. The following provisions of this Section 9.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:

(a) Limitation as to Time. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this Article IX unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for Indemnified Costs with respect to claims for indemnification for breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.3(a) (Company Status), 4.6 (Title to LLC Interest; Capitalization), 4.9 (Taxes), 4.19 (Waivers and Disclaimers), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization), 6.1 (Organization) and 6.2 (Authorization), if a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

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.

10.7. Assignment of Agreement. At any time, the Parties may make a collateral assignment of their rights under this Agreement to any of their bona fide lenders or debt holders, or a trustee or a representative for any of them, and the non-assigning Parties shall execute an acknowledgment of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably requested; provided, however, that unless written notice is given to the non-assigning Parties that any such collateral assignment has been foreclosed upon, such non-assigning Parties shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Seller or HFC, as the case may be, as to any matters arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (other than for delivery of notices required by any such collateral assignment).

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE

11.1. Payment and Performance Guaranty. HFC unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees, as principal and not as surety, to Buyer the punctual and complete payment in full when due of all Buyer Indemnified Costs by the Indemnifying Party under the Agreement (collectively, the “Payment Obligations”). HFC agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to enforce directly against HFC any of the Payment Obligations.

11.2. Guaranty Absolute. HFC hereby guarantees that the Payment Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The obligations of HFC under this Agreement constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment, and not of collection or collectability. The liability of HFC under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional, present, continuing and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a) any assignment or other transfer of the Agreement or any of the rights thereunder of Buyer;

(b) any amendment, waiver, renewal, extension or release of or any consent to or departure from or other action or inaction related to the Agreement;

(c) any acceptance by Buyer of partial payment or performance from the Indemnifying Party;

(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the Indemnifying Party, or any action taken with respect to the Agreements by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(e) any absence of any notice to, or Knowledge of, HFC, of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subsections (a) through (d); or

(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a guarantor.

 

16


The obligations of HFC hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Payment Obligations or otherwise.

11.3. Waiver. HFC hereby waives promptness, diligence, all setoffs, presentments, protests and notice of acceptance and any other notice relating to any of the Payment Obligations and any requirement for Buyer to protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Indemnifying Party, any other entity or any collateral.

11.4. Subrogation Waiver. HFC agrees that it shall not have any rights (direct or indirect) of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or other rights of payment or recovery from the Indemnifying Party for any payments made by HFC under this Article XI until all Payment Obligations have been indefeasibly paid, and HFC hereby irrevocably waives and releases, absolutely and unconditionally, any such rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and other rights of payment or recovery it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Indemnifying Party until all Payment Obligations have been indefeasibly paid.

11.5. Reinstatement. The obligations of HFC under this Article XI shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Payment Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to the Indemnifying Party or any other entity, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation or reorganization of the Indemnifying Party or such other entity, or for any other reason, all as though such payment had not been made.

11.6. Continuing Guaranty. This Article XI is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the first to occur of the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Payment Obligations, (ii) be binding upon HFC, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Buyer and its successors, transferees and assigns.

11.7. No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Buyer (and HFC hereby waives any rights which HFC may have to require Buyer), in order to enforce such payment by HFC, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Indemnifying Party or others liable on the Payment Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce Buyer’s rights against any other guarantors of the Payment Obligations, (iii) join the Indemnifying Party or any others liable on the Payment Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Article XI, (iv) exhaust any remedies available to Buyer against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Payment Obligations, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Payment Obligations.

Each Related Refinery Owner and each Relevant Asset Owner (except El Dorado Operating) entered into the Original Master Site Services Agreement which amended and restated in its entirety their respective Prior Agreement from and after January 1, 2015, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Master Site Services Agreement; and

E. Each Related Refinery Owner and each Relevant Asset Owner now desires to amend and restate the Original Master Site Services Agreement in its entirety, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2

RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

2.1 Rights and Obligations. The Parties hereby enter into this Agreement for the purpose of setting forth their respective rights and obligations relating to the provision by the Related Refinery Owner of the Service Items to the Relevant Asset Owner in connection with the Relevant Asset Owner’s ownership, operation and maintenance of its Relevant Assets.

2.2 Nature of the Relationship.

2.2.1 No Limitation on Separate Businesses. Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall not in any manner limit the Parties in carrying on their respective separate businesses or operations or impose upon any Party a fiduciary duty vis-à-vis any other Party.

2.2.2 Independent Operations. Each Related Refinery Owner and each applicable Relevant Asset Owner recognize that portions of each of their respective businesses and operations are conducted within the Refinery Complex, and that necessary interactions result from such proximity. The respective businesses and operations of the Related Refinery Owner and Relevant Asset Owner will be managed and conducted by them, as independent companies, and each shall act and conduct its business and operations independently wherever possible. Further, each Related Refinery Owner and Relevant Asset Owner recognize their mutual responsibility to support the capability of each other to conduct their respective businesses and operations for routine and non-routine activities (including start-ups, shut downs, turnarounds, emergencies and other infrequent events).

2.2.3 No Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement and no actions taken by the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner shall constitute a partnership, joint venture, association or other co-operative entity among the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner or authorize either the Related Refinery Owner or the Relevant Asset Owner to represent or contract on behalf of the other. Each Related Refinery Owner, as the supplier of the Service Items, is acting solely as an independent contractor and is not an agent of any Relevant Asset Owner. The provision of the Service Items hereunder shall be under the sole supervision, control and direction of the Related Refinery Owner and not the Relevant Asset Owner. No Party is authorized to legally bind or act as an agent for any other Party.

2.2.4 Permits. Notwithstanding the Relevant Asset Owner’s obligation to maintain and operate the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements and comply with Applicable Laws, the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner acknowledge that the Related Refinery Owner may, as required by any applicable Governmental Authorities, maintain air quality and other environmental permits in its name. Consequently and also for the ease of administration, the Related Refinery Owner may maintain in its name the air quality permits and other authorizations applicable to all, or part of, the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements and may be responsible for making any reports or other notifications to Governmental Authorities pursuant to such permits or Applicable Laws; provided that

 

2


upon the Related Refinery Owner’s written request the Relevant Asset Owner shall apply for, obtain and maintain any such permits in its name. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce the Relevant Asset Owner’s obligations under Applicable Laws with respect to the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements.

ARTICLE 3

PROVISION OF SERVICE ITEMS

3.1 Provision of Service Items.

3.1.1 Service Items. During the Applicable Term of this Agreement, the Related Refinery Owner shall make available and provide to the Relevant Asset Owner, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Service Items for such Relevant Asset Owner as described more fully on Exhibit D to this Agreement for use by the Relevant Asset Owner and any of its Affiliates and agents in connection with the Relevant Asset Owner’s ownership, operation and maintenance of the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements.

3.1.2 Quality of Service Items. If the Relevant Asset Owner reasonably believes in good faith that a Service Item provided is not of the quality or quantity necessary to operate and maintain the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements as currently operated and maintained, the Relevant Asset Owner may deliver written notice of such claim to the Related Refinery Owner. If the Related Refinery Owner does not reasonably satisfy the Relevant Asset Owner’s claim pursuant to the foregoing sentence within 30 days after receipt of such notice (or if such claim is of a nature that cannot be resolved within 30 days, if the Related Refinery Owner does not commence to satisfy such claim within 30 days after receipt of such notice and thereafter diligently pursue satisfying such claim to completion), then the Relevant Asset Owner may reject such Service Item and submit a proposal to the Related Refinery Owner to reduce the amount of the Annual Service Fee set forth on Exhibit E in accordance with Section 4.3. If the Related Refinery Owner refuses to reduce the Annual Service Fee, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.

3.1.3 Notifications. The Related Refinery Owner shall notify the Relevant Asset Owner as soon as practicable of any actual or anticipated changes in the character of any Service Item or any actual or anticipated interruptions, shut-downs, turnarounds or similar events that may adversely affect the provision of any Service Item.

3.1.4 Standard of Care. The Related Refinery Owner shall provide all Service Items to the Relevant Asset Owner and perform all services hereunder in accordance with Standard Operating Practice. The provision of all Service Items and services hereunder shall be on a non-discriminatory basis comparable to that provided or performed by the Related Refinery Owner with respect to its own business at the Refinery Complex unless otherwise specified herein.

3.2 Increased Quantities and Additional Service Items.

3.2.1 Adjustments to Service Items. If subsequent to the date hereof increased quantities of any Service Items are reasonably required by a Relevant Asset Owner from the Related Refinery Owner in connection with its ownership, operation or maintenance of the Relevant Assets or any improvements or additions thereto, the Related Refinery Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such increased quantities of such Service Item on the same terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D, so long as the provision of such increased quantities does not interfere in any material respect with the Related Refinery Owner’s operations at the Refinery Complex or require the Related Refinery Owner to make a capital improvement to any Service Asset. If the provision by the Related Refinery

 

3


Owner of increased quantities of any Service Item requested by the Relevant Asset Owner would require the Related Refinery Owner to make such a capital improvement, then the Relevant Asset Owner may submit a request to the Related Refinery Owner pursuant to Section 6.1. The applicable Annual Service Fee with respect to increased quantities of any Service Item requested by a Relevant Asset Owner may be increased in accordance with Article 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that:

(a) the Relevant Asset Owner uses the Relevant Assets to provide services to third parties,

(b) the Relevant Asset Owner’s provision of such third-party services results in a material increase of any Service Item required by the Relevant Asset Owner, and

(c) provision of such Service Items is available to the Relevant Asset Owner from third-party vendors on commercially reasonable terms,

then the Related Refinery Owner may decline to provide such increased and additional Service Item. Further, if, in the Related Refinery Owner’s sole discretion, the provision of any Service Item by the Related Refinery Owner in connection with the Relevant Asset Owner’s provision of services to third parties could expose the Related Refinery Owner or the Related Refinery Owner’s assets to environmental risk or liability, then the Related Refinery Owner may refuse to provide such Service Item in connection with the Relevant Asset Owner’s provision of services to third parties.

3.2.2 New Service Items. If subsequent to the date hereof one or more additional Service Items not specifically described herein, but which are being produced or utilized by the Related Refinery Owner or its Affiliates in the normal course of their operations at the Refinery Complex (“Additional Service Items”), are or become reasonably necessary to operate or maintain the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements, the Related Refinery Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Additional Service Items to the Relevant Asset Owner on terms and conditions consistent with the provision of the existing Service Items provided by the Related Refinery Owner. The applicable Annual Service Fee with respect to such Additional Service Items may be increased in accordance with Article 4.

3.3 Use of Service Items. Each Relevant Asset Owner agrees to utilize the Service Items provided to it by the Related Refinery Owner solely in connection with its ownership, operation and maintenance of the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements; provided, however, that no provision of this Agreement shall obligate any Relevant Asset Owner in any way to utilize all or part of the Service Items provided by the Related Refinery Owner.

3.4 Service Assets. Subject to Article 8, each Related Refinery Owner shall be responsible for operating and maintaining its respective Service Assets, at its sole cost and expense, in accordance with Standard Operating Practice. Except for any capital improvement project proposed by a Relevant Asset Owner under Article 6 or undertaken by a Relevant Asset Owner under Article 5, the Related Refinery Owner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of any capital improvements to, or acquisitions of additional, Services Assets.

3.5 Access. The relative rights of access for the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner for each Refinery Complex are set forth in the Master Lease and Access Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

ANNUAL SERVICE FEE

4.1 Annual Service Fee. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month, the Relevant Asset Owner will pay the Related Refinery Owner an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate of its fees set forth on Exhibit E (the “Annual Service Fee”) for the provision by the Related Refinery Owner and its Affiliates to the Relevant Asset Owner during such calendar month of all the Service Items described in Exhibit D. The monthly payment for the first month under the Applicable Term of this Agreement will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed from the date of this Agreement through the last day of the first calendar month and the number of days in such calendar month.

4.2 Increases in Annual Service Fee.

4.2.1 Annual Adjustment. The Annual Service Fee shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year, commencing on the first July 1 following the Effective Date, by an amount equal to the PPI Adjustment; provided, that, effective as of the date hereof, the Annual Service Fee shall never be increased by more than 3% for any such calendar year. If the PPI is no longer published, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Annual Service Fee. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 9.1.4.

4.2.2 Additional Cost Adjustment. Each Related Refinery Owner may also increase the Annual Service Fee to be paid by the Relevant Asset Owner for any calendar year by an amount equal to the actual cost to the Related Refinery Owner of providing increased quantities of any Service Item or of providing any Additional Service Items pursuant to Section 3.2.1 and Section 3.2.2 to the Relevant Asset Owner.

4.3 Reduction of Annual Service Fee. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year, the Relevant Asset Owner will have the right to submit to the Related Refinery Owner a proposal to reduce the amount of the Annual Service Fee or other charges paid (or to be paid) for that year if the Relevant Asset Owner reasonably believes, in good faith, that one or more Service Items provided by the Related Refinery Owner for that year was not of the quality or quantity necessary to operate and maintain the Relevant Assets as currently operated and maintained. If the Relevant Asset Owner submits such a proposal to the Related Refinery Owner, the Relevant Asset Owner and the Related Refinery Owner shall determine in good faith the reduction, if any, to the Annual Service Fee for that year. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement with respect to any such proposals, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 9.

The design of any necessary Connection Facilities shall be submitted by the Relevant Asset Owner for review by the Related Refinery Owner. The Related Refinery Owner shall have thirty (30) days in which

ARTICLE 6

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

6.1 Capital Improvements Relating to Provision of Service Items.

6.1.1 Requests for Capital Improvements. The Relevant Asset Owner may submit from time to time to the Related Refinery Owner written requests for the Related Refinery Owner to undertake capital improvement projects relating to the provision by the Related Refinery Owner of Service Items.

(a) the capital improvements to be made;

(b) any permits that may be required;

(c) the estimated cost of such capital improvements;

(d) any proposed changes to this Agreement; and

(e) any other relevant information relating to such capital improvement project.

6.1.2 Response to Requests for Capital Improvements.

The Related Refinery Owner shall provide the Relevant Asset Owner a written explanation for the rejection of any request. If the Related Refinery Owner agrees to undertake any such capital improvement project, the Relevant Asset Owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with such project, without duplication of other amounts paid or payable by the Relevant Asset Owner under this Agreement, including:

(a) the cost of completing the capital improvements;

(b) the Related Refinery Owner’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such project; and

(c) any increased costs of operation incurred or to be incurred by the Related Refinery Owner as a result of such project;

provided, however, that if other Persons receive any of the benefits of such capital improvement project, such other Persons shall bear their respective pro rata shares of all costs associated with such project (based upon and only to the extent of the relative benefits received by them), and the Relevant Asset Owner’s costs with respect thereto shall be reimbursed by the Related Refinery Owner as, when, if and to the extent savings are received or as, when, if and to the extent the other Person utilizes such benefits.

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 Product.

 

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%. If, as a result of a reduction to the Tolling Fee for a Contract Quarter under this Section 2.2(d)(1) 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 due for the following Contract Quarter in the amount of such overpayment.

(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.

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 2.1, 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 2.1, 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 Product 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 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.

ARTICLE 4

EFFECTIVENESS AND APPLICABLE TERM

This Agreement shall be effective as to each group of Applicable Assets as of the Effective Time and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, shall terminate with respect to each group of Applicable Assets upon the expiration of the initial term set forth on Exhibit C (the “Initial Term”); provided that, at the end of the Initial Term for each group of Applicable Assets, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall have the option to extend the Applicable Term for such group of Applicable Assets for an extension term beyond the Initial Term if, and to the extent, provided in Exhibit C (an “Extension Term”). In the event an Extension Term is available for a group of Applicable Assets, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall give HEP Operating written notice of its exercise of its option to extend the Applicable Term with respect to such group of Applicable Assets at least 12 months prior to the end of the Initial Term for such group of Applicable Assets.

ARTICLE 5

NOTICES

Any notice or other communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be provided in the manner set forth in Article X of the Omnibus Agreement.

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 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

 

5


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.

ARTICLE 7

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

The Parties acknowledge the right of first refusal of HollyFrontier with respect to the Applicable Assets as provided in the Omnibus Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

8.1 Indemnity; Limitation of Liability. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions relating to indemnity and limitation of liability set forth in Article III of the Omnibus Agreement shall apply to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Omnibus Agreement to the contrary, and solely for the purpose of determining which of the Applicable Refinery Owner or HEP Operating shall be liable in a particular circumstance, neither the Applicable Refinery Owner nor HEP Operating shall be liable to the other Party for any loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred (collectively, “Damages”) by such Party except to the extent that the Applicable Refinery Owner or HEP Operating causes such Damages or owns or operates the assets or other property in question responsible for causing such Damages.

Exhibit C-1


2. The Tolling Fee shall never be less than $4.07 per MSCF of Feedstock, subject to a one-time potential reduction in the Tolling Fee for the adjustment in paragraph 4 below.
3. 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 × the change in the PPI as described below, plus (B) 0.25 × the annual HollyFrontier Merit Compensation Adjustment (positive or negative) for 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 WPUSOP3000– 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%) 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 Board of Directors. 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 × 1%) + (0.25 × 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 × 2%) + (0.25 × 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 × 3%) + (0.25 × 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 × 1%) + (0.25 × (-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, 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.

 

Exhibit C-2


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 formula: (aggregate CAPEX/9) ÷ (5,948 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 MSCFD 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 MSCFD 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 $136,156 (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.

Measurement of Volumes

El Dorado

Assets

   Hydrogen Generation Unit   

Delivery volumes of natural gas feedstock shall be determined by the MSCFD unit of measure with the metered data stored at PI Tag F146067.daca.pv.

 

Delivery volumes of hydrogen product shall be determined by the MSCFD unit of measure with the metered data stored at PI Tag F146101.daca.pv.1

 

1. The expected conversion ratio of natural gas to hydrogen (the “Conversion Ratio”) is 6,120 MSCFD of natural gas (with 36,000 lb/hr of steam) to 17,016 MSCFD of hydrogen, or 2.7803 per MSCFD of natural gas.

Examples of the reduction in Tolling Fees and the Minimum Throughput Commitment for non-Force Majeure Events that may occur under Section 2.1(d) (1) and (2) of the Agreement are as follows:

Section 2.1(d)(1) – The Minimum Throughput Commitment of 5,948 MSCFD of natural gas converts to 16,537.22 MSCFD of hydrogen based on a Conversion Ratio of 2.7803. If the hydrogen produced is 15,710.36 MSCFD (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 hydrogen produced by HEP Operating for such Contract Quarter is on average 14,883.50 MSCFD (90% of the Conversion Ratio for the Minimum Throughput Commitment), the Tolling Fee for such Contract Quarter would be reduced by 5% from $4.07 per MSCFD (100%) to $3.86 per MSCFD (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 hydrogen produced by HEP Operating for such Contract Quarter is on average 14,056.64 MSCFD (85% of the Conversion Ratio for the Minimum Throughput Commitment), the Tolling Fee for such Contract Quarter would be reduced by 10% from $4.07 per MSCFD (100%) to $3.66 per MSCFD (90%).

Section 2.1(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.

 

Exhibit F-1


Example A: If the Aggregate Capacity of any Applicable Asset for a Contract Quarter is on average 5,650.6 MSCFD, (95% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter), then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter would be reduced to 5,650.6 MSCFD of natural gas (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 5,353.2 MSCFD (90% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter), then the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter would be reduced to 5,353.2 MSCFD of natural gas (90% of the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Contract Quarter).

MASTER TOLLING AGREEMENT

(Operating Assets)

This Master Tolling Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of November 2, 2015, 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%. If, as a result of a reduction to the Tolling Fee for a Contract Quarter under this Section 2.2(d)(1) 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 due for the following Contract Quarter in the amount of such overpayment.

(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.

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 2.1, 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 2.1, 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.

(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 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.

ARTICLE 4

EFFECTIVENESS AND APPLICABLE TERM

This Agreement shall be effective as to each group of Applicable Assets as of the Effective Time and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, shall terminate with respect to each group of Applicable Assets upon the expiration of the initial term set forth on Exhibit C (the “Initial Term”); provided that, at the end of the Initial Term for each group of Applicable Assets, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall have the option to extend the Applicable Term for such group of Applicable Assets for an extension term beyond the Initial Term if, and to the extent, provided in Exhibit C (an “Extension Term”).

 

4


In the event an Extension Term is available for a group of Applicable Assets, the Applicable Refinery Owner shall give HEP Operating written notice of its exercise of its option to extend the Applicable Term with respect to such group of Applicable Assets at least 12 months prior to the end of the Initial Term for such group of Applicable Assets.

ARTICLE 5

NOTICES

Any notice or other communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be provided in the manner set forth in Article X of the Omnibus Agreement.

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 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.

 

5


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.

ARTICLE 7

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

The Parties acknowledge the right of first refusal of HollyFrontier with respect to the Applicable Assets as provided in the Omnibus Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

8.1 Indemnity; Limitation of Liability. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions relating to indemnity and limitation of liability set forth in Article III of the Omnibus Agreement shall apply to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Omnibus Agreement to the contrary, and solely for the purpose of determining which of the Applicable Refinery Owner or HEP Operating shall be liable in a particular circumstance, neither the Applicable Refinery Owner nor HEP Operating shall be liable to the other Party for any loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred (collectively, “Damages”) by such Party except to the extent that the Applicable Refinery Owner or HEP Operating causes such Damages or owns or operates the assets or other property in question responsible for causing such Damages.

8.2 Survival. The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

1. The “Feedstock” is light naphtha and heavy naphtha.
2. 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.

 

Exhibit C-1


3. 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 × the change in the PPI as described below, plus (B) 0.25 × the annual HollyFrontier Merit Compensation Adjustment (positive or negative) for 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 WPUSOP3000– 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%) 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 Board of Directors. 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 × 1%) + (0.25 × 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 × 2%) + (0.25 × 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 × 3%) + (0.25 × 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 × 1%) + (0.25 × (-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, 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 formula: (aggregate CAPEX/9) ÷ (48,750 × 365.25).

 

Exhibit C-2


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 $73,610 (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.

Measurement of Volumes

El Dorado

Assets

   Naphtha Fractionation Column   

Delivery volumes of light naphtha and heavy naphtha feedstock shall be determined by the BBL unit of measure with the metered data stored at PI Tag FI14381.daca.pv for light naphtha and FI14382.daca.pv for heavy naphtha.

 

Delivery volumes of isopentane, ISOM feed, intermediate naphtha and reformer feed shall be determined by the BBL unit of measure with the metered data stored at tags FC14578.pida.pv, FC14592.pida.pv, FC14612.pida.pv and reformer feed at tag FY14467.daca.pv.1

 

1. 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 2.1(d)(1) and (2) of the Agreement are as follows:

Section 2.1(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 Through 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 2.1(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


2.2 Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.1 to the contrary, Holly GP and the HFC Group Members may engage in the following activities under the following circumstances:

  (c) the ownership and/or operation of Restricted Businesses by an HFC Entity or Holly GP in its capacity as general partner of HEP or its general partner;

 

  (d) the ownership and/or operation of any asset or group of related assets used in the Restricted Business that are acquired or constructed by a HFC Group Member or Holly GP after the Closing Date (the “Permitted Assets”), the fair market value of which (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) is as follows:

 

  (i) less than $5 million at the time of such acquisition or good faith estimate of construction costs, as the case may be; or

 

  (ii) equal to or greater than $5 million at the time of the acquisition or good faith estimate of construction costs; provided, HEP has been offered the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets in accordance with Section 2.3 and HEP has elected not to purchase the Permitted Assets;

 

  (e) the ownership of the UNEV Profits Interest; and

 

  (f) the ownership of limited or any general partnership interests in HEP.

2.3 Right of Offer.

 

  (a) If Holly GP or a HFC Group Member becomes aware of an opportunity to acquire Permitted Assets with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million, then, subject to Section 2.3(c), as soon as practicable, Holly GP or such HFC Group Member shall notify HEP of such opportunity and deliver to HEP, or provide HEP access to all information prepared by or on behalf of, or material information submitted or delivered to, Holly GP or such HFC Group Member relating to such potential transaction. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such notification and information, HEP shall notify Holly GP or the HFC Group Member that it has either elected:

 

  (i) not to cause a HEP Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets, or

 

  (ii) to cause a HEP Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which case the applicable Parties shall follow the procedures in Section 2.4.

 

3


  (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

 

4


  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.

2.5 Scope of Prohibition. Except as provided in this Article II and the Partnership Agreement, Holly GP and each HFC Group Member shall be free to engage in any business activity, including those that may be in direct competition with any HEP Group Member.

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.

 

5


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.

3.6 Exclusions from Indemnity for Post-Closing Date Claims. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, FOR ANY LIABILITIES OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER AN APPLICABLE CLOSING DATE:

 

  (a) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.2(a)(vii), THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREIN SHALL NOT EXTEND TO THE PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR CLAIM CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNITEE OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES.

 

  (b) No statute, rule or regulation that precludes an injured party from bringing an action against a fellow employee or employer shall preclude a Party from seeking and obtaining a judicial determination of the fault or negligence of such Persons.

 

  (c) Each Party shall be responsible for any insurance deductibles or self-insured retention arising out of any Liability or Claim to the extent such Liability or Claim arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of such Party, except to the extent the subrogation waiver provided for in Section 3.9 applies to such Liability or Claim.

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.

 

9


  (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.

 

  (e) In connection with the indemnities in this Article III, Indemnifying Party:

 

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

 

  (ii) agrees to enter into a joint defense agreement with Indemnifying Party in order to allow communication by counsel if Indemnified Party elects to involve separate counsel; and

 

  (iii) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.8.

 

  (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.

 

10


  (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.

3.8 Limitation on Indemnification Obligations.

 

  (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the HFC Entities in Article III, the definition of HFC Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (i) the HFC Entity or HFC Entities that own or operate, or owned or operated immediately prior to the transfer to the HEP Entities, the Retained Asset, Transferred Asset or other property in question with respect to which indemnification is sought by reason of such HFC Entity’s or HFC Entities’ ownership or operation of the Retained Asset, Transferred Asset or other property in question or that is responsible for causing such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the HEP Entities for which it is entitled to indemnification under Article III and (ii) HFC.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the HEP Entities in Article III, the definition of HEP Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (i) the HEP Entity or HEP Entities that own or operate, or previously owned or operated, the Transferred Asset or other property in question or that is responsible for causing such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the HFC Entities for which they are entitled to indemnification under Article III, (ii) HEP and (iii) Operating Partnership.

 

  (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).

3.9 Subrogation; Waiver of Subrogation. 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

 

11


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. The releases and waivers of subrogation set forth above in this paragraph shall apply notwithstanding any obligation of a Party to indemnify the other Party for the Claim(s) at issue.

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

4.1 General.

 

  (a) The Operating Partnership will pay HFC an administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”) in the amount set forth on Exhibit E, payable in equal quarterly installments, for the provision by HFC and its Affiliates for the HEP Group’s benefit of all the general and administrative services that HFC and its Affiliates provide, including, the general and administrative services listed on Exhibit E.

 

  (b) HEP and HFC shall also periodically assess and increase the Administrative Fee in connection with expansions of the operations of the HEP Group through the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.

 

  (c) At the end of each year, HEP will have the right to submit to HFC a proposal to reduce the amount of the Administrative Fee for that year if HEP believes in good faith that the general and administrative services performed by HFC and its Affiliates for the benefit of the HEP Group for the year in question do not justify payment of the full Administrative Fee for that year. If HEP submits such a proposal to HFC, HFC agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with HEP to determine if the Administrative Fee for that year should be reduced and, if so, the amount of such reduction.

 

  (d) The Administrative Fee shall not include and the HEP Group shall reimburse HFC and its Affiliates for:

 

  (i) salaries of employees of HFC or its Affiliates, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the HEP Group;

 

  (ii) the cost of employee benefits relating to employees of HFC or its Affiliates, such as 401(k), pension, and health insurance benefits, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the HEP Group and have not been paid by HEP pursuant to the Master Site Services Agreement and the Services and Secondment Agreement;

 

  (iii) any amounts payable under the Master Site Services Agreement and the Services and Secondment Agreement;

 

12


  (iv) all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time in respect of the services provided by the HFC and its Affiliates to HEP pursuant to Section 4.1(a); and

 

  (v) all premiums for insurance policies carried for and on behalf of HEP.

 

  (e) Either HFC, on the one hand, or HEP, on the other hand, may terminate this Article IV, by providing the other with written notice of its election to do so at least six months prior to the proposed date of termination.

ARTICLE V

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

5.1 HFC Right of First Refusal: Prohibition on Transfer.

 

  (a) The HEP Entities hereby grant to HFC a right of first refusal on any proposed Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer to another HEP Group Member) of any of the Assets.

 

  (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. In the event the HEP Entities desire to Transfer any of the Assets to a HEP Group Member that is not a Party to this Agreement, they shall first cause the proposed transferee HEP Group Member to become a Party to this Agreement.

 

  (c) The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of Sale Assets pursuant to this Article V are subject to obtaining any and all required written consents of governmental authorities and other third parties and to the terms of all existing agreements in respect of the Sale Assets.

 

  (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in Article V the definition of “Assets” shall not include the Tulsa Transferred Assets or the UNEV Pipeline, but shall expressly include the equity interests of UNEV Pipeline, LLC then owned directly or indirectly by the HEP Entities.

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”);

 

13


  (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.

 

  (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));

 

14


  (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;

 

  (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;

 

  (v) the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets shall, unless otherwise agreed to by HFC and the HEP Entities, occur no later than 90 days following receipt by the HEP Entities of written notice by HFC of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the Sale Assets pursuant to Section 5.2(b) or (c);

 

  (vi) the HEP Entities shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to HFC a special warranty deed, assignment of easement, or comparable document, as appropriate, in the applicable jurisdiction, on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets constituting real property interests conveying the Sale Assets unto HFC free and clear of all encumbrances created by the HEP Entities other than those set forth in Section 5.2(e)(ii) above;

 

  (vii) the sale of any Sale Assets shall be made on an “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, and the instruments conveying such Sale Assets shall contain appropriate disclaimers; and

 

  (viii) neither the HEP Entities nor HFC shall have any obligation to sell or buy the Sale Assets if any of the material consents referred to in Section 5.1(c) have not been obtained or such sale or purchase is prohibited by Applicable Law.

 

15


  (f) HFC and the HEP Entities shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other Third Party approvals, waivers and consents required for the closing. Any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent required, until the third Business Day following the expiration of any required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; provided, however, that such delay shall not exceed 120 days and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or expired, as the case may be, by such 120th day, then HFC shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal with respect to the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice and thereafter neither HFC nor HEP shall have any further obligation under this Article V with respect to such Sale Assets unless such Sale Assets again become subject to this Article V pursuant to Section 5.2(g).

 

  (g) If the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Proposal within the later of (i) 180 days after the later of the applicable ROFR Acceptance Deadline, and (ii) 10 days after the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to lapse, and the HEP Entities may not Transfer any of the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article V if and to the extent then applicable.

With respect only to the 2008 Tanks, the applicable HFC Entity that sold the particular tank(s) to the applicable HEP Entity shall, during the period that commences on the applicable Closing Date and ends five (5) years thereafter (the “Initial Tank Inspection Period”) reimburse the applicable HEP Entity for the actual costs associated with the first regularly scheduled API 653 inspection (the “Initial Tank Inspections”) and the costs associated with the replacement of the tank mixers on each of the Transferred Tanks after the Closing Date and any repairs required to be made to the 2008 Tanks as a result of any discovery made during the Initial Tank Inspections; provided, however, that

 

  (a) such HFC Entity shall not reimburse such HEP Entity with respect to the relocated crude oil Tank 437 in the Artesia refinery complex or the new crude oil tank to replace crude oil Tank 439 in the Artesia refinery complex more particularly described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement referenced in the definition of 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets, and

 

  (b) upon expiration of the Initial Tank Inspection Period, all of the obligations of the applicable HFC Entity pursuant to this Article VII shall terminate, except that the Initial Tank Inspection Period shall be extended if, and only to the extent that

 

16


  (i) inaccessibility of the 2008 Tanks during the Initial Tank Inspection Period caused the delay of an Initial Tank Inspection originally scheduled to be performed during the Initial Tank Inspection Period, and

 

  (ii) the applicable HFC Entity received notice from the applicable HEP Entity regarding such delay at the time it occurred.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

8.1 Dispute Resolution.

 

  (a) Any Arbitrable Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement, shall be exclusively resolved in accordance with this Article VIII.

 

  (b) In the event of a Arbitrable Dispute between an HFC Entity and an HEP Entity, the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall, within ten (10) days of a written request by either of them to the other, meet in good faith to resolve such Arbitrable Dispute in a meeting that includes individuals with authority to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute at such meeting.

 

  (c) If the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity are unable to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute within ten (10) days after submission of such Arbitrable Dispute as provided in Section 8.1(b), either the HFC Entity or the HEP Entity may submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 8.2 below.

 

  (d) Pending resolution of any Arbitrable Dispute between the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity, the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall continue to perform in good faith their respective obligations under this Agreement based upon the last agreed performance demonstrated prior to the Arbitrable Dispute.

 

  (e) Resolution of any Arbitrable Dispute between the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity involving payment of money by either the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity to the other shall include payment of interest at the Prime Rate from the original due date of such amount.

 

  (f) Each of the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall, in addition to all rights provided herein or provided by Law, be entitled to the remedies of specific performance and injunction to enforce its rights hereunder.

8.2 Arbitration. 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, as amended from time to time).

 

  (a)

Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by either party (“Claimant”) by delivering written notice to the other (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating

 

17


  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.

 

  (b) The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The parties 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 Claimant and Respondent.

 

  (c) 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 Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator.

 

  (d) All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Parties or any of their Affiliates and who have not provided consulting services (directly or indirectly) for at least three (3) years prior to their appointment and (ii) have at least seven (7) years’ experience in the petroleum transportation industry.

 

  (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.

8.3 Conflict. If there is any inconsistency between this Article VIII and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Article VIII will control the rights and obligations of the parties seeking arbitration.

ARTICLE IX

FORCE MAJEURE

9.1 Force Majeure. In the event of any Party being rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event from performing its obligations under any of the Master Agreements, Services and Secondment Agreement or this Agreement for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, then, upon the delivery of notice and full particulars of the Force Majeure event relied on (“Force Majeure Notice”) to the other affected Party(ies), the obligations of the Parties, so far are they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall, as far as possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests.

  (c) Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of the Partnership Group to protest or question the correctness or appropriateness thereof; provided, however, that all bills and statements rendered to the Partnership Group during any calendar year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twelve (12) months following the end of any such calendar year, unless prior to the end of said twelve (12) month period the Partnership Group takes written exception thereto and makes a claim against the HollyFrontier Group for adjustment.

ARTICLE 5

MAINTENANCE OF APPLICABLE PREMISES

5.1 Maintenance by the Relevant Asset Owner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 5 and in Article 7 or elsewhere in this Lease and subject to the obligations of the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner under the Ancillary Agreements, including any indemnity provisions contained in the Omnibus Agreement, the Relevant Asset Owner shall at its sole cost, risk and expense at all times keep the Applicable Premises and the Applicable Assets and Additional Improvements in good order and repair and in compliance with all Applicable Laws and make all necessary repairs thereto, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, and unforeseen and foreseen. For the avoidance of doubt, the Related Refinery Owner shall maintain, at its sole cost, risk and expense, any dikes, including those dikes surrounding tanks owned by the Relevant Asset Owner and whether or not the entire dike is located on the Applicable Premises, and any roads located on the Applicable Premises. As used in this Article 5, the term “repairs” shall include all necessary replacements, renewal, alterations and additions. All repairs made by the Relevant Asset Owner shall be made in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all Applicable Laws. The Relevant Asset Owner shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the proper handling, removal and disposal of all materials, debris, waste and Hazardous Substances generated or resulting from such repair and maintenance activities, all in accordance with Applicable Laws.

5.2 Operation. Subject to the obligations of the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner in this Lease and under the Ancillary Agreements, including any indemnity provisions contained in the Omnibus Agreement, the Relevant Asset Owner covenants and agrees to operate the Applicable Assets and Additional Improvements in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry and all Applicable Laws now in force, or which may hereafter be in force.

5.3 Surrender of Applicable Premises. The Relevant Asset Owner shall at the expiration of the Applicable Term or at any earlier termination of this Lease as to the Applicable Assets, surrender the Applicable Premises to the Related Refinery Owner in as good condition as it received the same, ordinary wear and tear and limitations permitted by Article 7 excepted and in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.

5.4 Release of Hazardous Substances. The Relevant Asset Owner shall give prompt notice to the Related Refinery Owner of any release of any Hazardous Substances on or at the Applicable Premises or Shared Access Facilities that occur during the Applicable Term. The Relevant Asset Owner shall immediately take all steps necessary to contain or remediate (or both) any such release and provide any governmental notifications required by Applicable Law. If the Related Refinery Owner believes at any time that the Relevant Asset Owner is failing to contain or remediate in compliance with all Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws) any release arising from the Relevant Asset Owner’s operation of the Applicable Assets or Additional Improvements or the Relevant Asset Owner’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Lease, the Related Refinery Owner will provide reasonable notice to the Relevant Asset Owner of such failure. If the Relevant Asset Owner fails to take appropriate action to contain or remediate such a release or take other actions required under Applicable Laws or this Lease within 30 days of the Related Refinery Owner’s reasonable notice, the Related Refinery Owner may, without further notice to the Relevant Asset Owner, take such actions for the Relevant Asset Owner’s account. Within 30 days following the date the Related Refinery Owner delivers to the Relevant Asset Owner evidence of payment for those actions by the Related Refinery Owner reasonably necessary to contain or remediate a release or otherwise achieve compliance with Applicable Laws or this Lease because of the Relevant Asset Owner’s failure to do so, the Relevant Asset Owner shall reimburse the Related Refinery Owner all amounts paid by the Related Refinery Owner on the Relevant Asset Owner’s behalf.

ARTICLE 6

TAXES, ASSESSMENTS

6.1 Relevant Asset Owner’s Obligation to Pay. The Relevant Asset Owner shall pay during the Applicable Term all Taxes assessed against the Applicable Premises, or improvements situated thereon, including the Applicable Assets and all Additional Improvements (including those Additional Improvements situated on the Shared Access Facilities but excluding any Shared Access Facilities and any Service Assets) (for purposes of this Article 6, collectively, the “Taxable Assets”) during the Applicable Term that are payable to any Governmental Authority assessed against or with respect to the Applicable Premises or the use or operation thereof during the Applicable Term. In the event that the Relevant Asset Owner fails to pay its share of such Taxes in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 prior to the time the same become delinquent, the Related Refinery Owner may pay the same and the Relevant Asset Owner shall reimburse the Related Refinery Owner all amounts paid by the Related Refinery Owner on the Relevant Asset Owner’s behalf within 30 days following the date the Related Refinery Owner delivers to the Relevant Asset Owner evidence of such payment.

6.2 Manner of Payment. Upon notice by the Relevant Asset Owner to the Related Refinery Owner, the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Taxable Assets to be separately assessed for purposes of Taxes as soon as reasonably practicable following the Commencement Date (to the extent allowed by Applicable Law). During the Applicable Term but subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Relevant Asset Owner shall pay all Taxes assessed directly against the Taxable Assets directly to the applicable taxing authority prior to delinquency and shall promptly thereafter provide the Related Refinery Owner with evidence of such payment. Until such time as the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner can cause the Taxable Assets to be separately assessed as provided above, the Relevant Asset Owner shall reimburse the Related Refinery Owner, upon request, for any such Taxes paid by the Related Refinery Owner to the applicable taxing authorities (such reimbursement to be based upon the mutual agreement of the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner as to the portion of such Taxes attributable to the Taxable

 

8


Assets), subject to the terms of this Section 6.2. The certificate issued or given by the appropriate officials authorized or designated by law to issue or give the same or to receive payment of such Taxes shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, payment, nonpayment and amount of such Taxes. The Relevant Asset Owner may contest the validity or amount of any such Taxes or the valuation of the Taxable Assets (to the extent any of them may be separately issued), at the Relevant Asset Owner’s sole cost and expense, by appropriate proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith in accordance with Applicable Law. If the Relevant Asset Owner contests such items then the Related Refinery Owner shall cooperate with the Relevant Asset Owner in any such contesting of the validity or amount of any such Taxes or the valuation of the Taxable Assets. Taxes for the first and last years of the Applicable Term shall be prorated between the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner based on the portions of such years that are coincident with the applicable tax years and for which each of them is responsible.

ARTICLE 7

EMINENT DOMAIN; CASUALTY; INSURANCE

7.1 Total Condemnation of Applicable Premises. If the whole of the Applicable Premises is acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Applicable Premises as of the date title vests in any public agency. All rentals and other charges owing hereunder shall be prorated as of such date.

7.2 Partial Condemnation. If only a portion of the Applicable Premises is acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, and if in the Relevant Asset Owner’s reasonable opinion such partial taking or condemnation renders the Applicable Premises unsuitable for the business of the Relevant Asset Owner, then this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Applicable Premises at the Relevant Asset Owner’s election as of the date title vests in any public agency, provided the Relevant Asset Owner delivers to the Related Refinery Owner written notice of such election to terminate within 60 days following the date title vests in such public agency. In the event of such termination, all rentals and other charges owing hereunder with respect to such Applicable Premises shall be prorated as of such effective date of termination.

7.3 Condemnation Award and Damages. The Related Refinery Owner shall be entitled to any award and all damages payable as a result of any condemnation or taking of the fee title of the Applicable Premises. The Relevant Asset Owner shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from the Related Refinery Owner, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by the Relevant Asset Owner in the Relevant Asset Owner’s own right on account of any and all damage to the Applicable Assets, the Additional Improvements and/or the Relevant Asset Owner’s business by reason of the condemnation, including loss of value of any unexpired portion of the Applicable Term, and for or on account of any cost or loss to which the Relevant Asset Owner might be put in removing the Relevant Asset Owner’s personal property, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment, including the Applicable Assets and the Additional Improvements, from the Applicable Premises use good faith efforts to resolve such infeasibility.

7.4 Restoration of Applicable Premises. If the Applicable Assets and/or Additional Improvements are partially damaged by any casualty insured against under any insurance policy maintained by the Related Refinery Owner (a “Casualty Event”) or damaged by reason of a condemnation proceeding, the net amount that may be awarded or tendered to the Related Refinery Owner in such condemnation proceedings or realized from any applicable insurance policy in the event of a Casualty Event (less all legal and other expenses incurred by the Related Refinery Owner in connection therewith) shall (as long as the Relevant Asset Owner is not then in default hereunder) be used to pay for any repair, replacement or restoration by the Relevant Asset Owner of the Applicable Assets, the Additional

 

9


Improvements and/or the remainder of the Applicable Premises hereof to the extent the Relevant Asset Owner desires any of the same to be repaired, replaced or restored and such repair, replacement or restoration is commercially practicable, as determined by the Related Refinery Owner in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. If it is so determined that such repair, replacement or restoration is not commercially practicable, the Relevant Asset Owner and the Related Refinery Owner shall use good faith efforts to resolve such infeasibility.

7.5 Rent Abatement. During any periods of time during which the Applicable Assets and/or Additional Improvements are destroyed, damaged by a Casualty Event or are being restored or reconstructed under the terms of Section 7.4, Rent hereunder shall be abated in the proportion that the Relevant Asset Owner’s use thereof is impacted, on the condition that the Relevant Asset Owner uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the disruption to its business caused by such event.

7.6 Insurance. Except as otherwise agreed by the Related Refinery Owner and the Relevant Asset Owner, the Relevant Asset Owner shall, during the Applicable Term, maintain or cause to be maintained property and casualty insurance (including pollution insurance coverage) on the Applicable Premises and the Applicable Assets and Additional Improvements in accordance with customary industry practices and with a licensed, reputable carrier.

The acceptance of Rent hereunder by the Related Refinery Owner shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by the Relevant Asset Owner of any provision hereof, other than the failure of the Relevant Asset Owner to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of the Related Refinery Owner’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

12.8 Incorporation by Reference. Any reference herein to any Appendix or Exhibit to this Lease will incorporate such Appendix or Exhibit herein as if it were set out in full in the text of this Lease.

12.15 Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute such additional documents and shall cause such additional actions to be taken as may be required or, in the judgment of any Party, be necessary or desirable, to carry out the purposes of this Lease and to more fully assure the Parties’ rights and interests provided for hereunder.

12.21 Relocation of Pipelines; Amendment. If the Related Refinery Owner elects to move certain pipelines within the Refinery Complex, and such relocation of the pipelines requires relocation of any of the Applicable Assets, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, the Parties shall execute an amendment hereto reflecting the new location(s) of the Applicable Assets.

12.22 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

From time to time, an Affiliate of the Relevant Asset Owner who own assets at a refinery (whether now or in the future owned by the Related Refinery Owner or its Affiliate), may desire to become a party to this Lease, upon such terms and conditions that such Relevant Asset Owner (or its Affiliate) and the applicable refinery owner may agree.
