Section 3.6(c)). The Closing Financial Statements shall be prepared in
accordance with this Agreement and GAAP.
     1.5 Final Operations Amount Determination.
     (a) As promptly as practicable after the Closing or the Termination Option
Closing (but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing or the Termination

respectively (the “Final Closing Financial Statements”), together with a
certificate stating the Operations Amount calculated from the Final Closing
Financial Statements (the “Closing Operations Amount”). The Final Closing
Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and
GAAP. Following the delivery of the Final Closing Financial Statements to Holly
UNEV, HEP-Operating shall afford Holly UNEV and its representatives the
opportunity to review the Final Closing Financial Statements, and such
supporting schedules, analyses, workpapers and other underlying records or

providing answers to questions asked by Holly UNEV and its representatives, and
HEP-Operating shall promptly make available to Holly UNEV and its
representatives any records under HEP-Operating’s reasonable control that are

Statements to Holly UNEV, Holly UNEV has not delivered to HEP-Operating written
notice (the “Objection Notice”) of its objections to the Closing Operations
Amount certified by HEP–Operating (such Objection Notice must contain a
statement describing in reasonable detail the basis of such objections and the
amounts so disputed), then the Closing Operations Amount as calculated from such
Final Closing Financial Statements shall be deemed final and conclusive and
shall be “Final Operations Amount,” and each of the parties hereto agrees that
such amounts shall thereafter not be subject to any appeal or further challenge
hereunder or otherwise. If Holly UNEV delivers the Objection Notice within such
45-day period, then HEP-Operating and Holly UNEV shall submit the objections set

provision of Article I of this Agreement requires an amount or calculation to be
“determined in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP” (or words of similar
import), then to the extent that the terms of any provision of Article I of this
Agreement conflict with, or are inconsistent with, GAAP in connection with such
determination, the terms of Article I of this Agreement shall control.
