The execution, delivery and performance by the Partnership of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party does not, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, (i) violate, conflict with, or result in any breach of any provisions of the Partnership’s organizational documents or (ii) subject to obtaining the Consents or making the registrations, declarations or filings set forth in the next sentence, violate any Applicable Law or material contract binding upon the Partnership.  Except as set forth on Partnership Disclosure Schedule 6.3, no Consent of any Governmental Entity or any other person is required for the Partnership in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents to which the Partnership is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
6.4    Absence of Litigation.  There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership, threatened against the Partnership or any of its Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Partnership to perform its obligations and agreements under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
6.5    Brokers and Finders.  No investment banker, broker, finder, financial advisor or other intermediary has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Partnership who is entitled to receive from Seller any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.6    Validity of Aggregate Units.  The Common Units comprising the Unit Consideration and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Partnership’s organizational documents and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership’s organizational documents) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 17 607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act).
6.7    No Knowledge of Breach.  The Partnership has no knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 4.4(a)(ii), 4.4(b)(ii), 4.5, 4.7, 4.8, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.16 and 4.17 as modified by the information set forth in the corresponding Seller Disclosure Schedules attached hereto are not true and correct in all material respects.
Article VII 

#PageNum#

COVENANTS
7.1    Cooperation.  Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and assist Buyer in identifying all licenses, authorizations, permissions or Permits necessary for the Company’s and UNEV Pipeline’s operations from and after the Closing Date and where permissible, transfer existing Permits, if any, to Buyer or Operator, as applicable, or, where not permissible or applicable, assist UNEV Pipeline, Buyer or Operator, as applicable, in obtaining new Permits at no cost, fee or liability to Seller.
7.2    Additional Agreements.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do, or cause to be taken all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  If at any time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Parties and their duly authorized representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action.
7.3    Listing of Unit Consideration on New York Stock Exchange.  The Partnership shall provide notice of issuance of the Unit Consideration to the New York Stock Exchange promptly upon such issuance.
Article VIII 
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
8.1    Further Assurances.  After the Closing, each Party shall take such further actions, including obtaining Consents to assignment from third parties, and execute such further documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the other Parties in order to effectuate the intent of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and to provide such other Parties with the intended benefits of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
8.2    Tariff Increase.  For a period of two years following the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, object to any increase by UNEV Pipeline of, and Buyer may cause UNEV Pipeline to increase, the incentive tariff to ship on the Pipeline, subject to FERC rules, regulations and guidelines, in order to cover costs of defects, construction or environmental matters incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties related to the Pipeline that are discovered after the Closing but that arise out of events that occurred prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply until the aggregate amount of such costs total $8,000,000, in which event the foregoing shall only apply to such costs in excess of $8,000,000; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not apply to such costs that arise out of or relate to any matter to the extent covered by an indemnity under ARTICLE IX of this Agreement, by an indemnity under the Omnibus Agreement, by effective insurance coverage or by a third party (whether by warranty, indemnity, insurance or otherwise).  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.2 does not prohibit tariff increases on the Pipeline in the ordinary course of business, such as for increases in the FERC index each year.
8.3    Future Capacity Expansion.  The Partnership and Buyer agree that during the term of the Transportation Agreement between HollyFrontier Refining & Marketing LLC and UNEV 

#PageNum#

Pipeline, as amended from time to time, if the Pipeline is unable to transport Seller’s (or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries’) desired volume or is reasonably expected to be unable to transport such party’s desired volume following the Woods Cross Expansion Completion Date, the Partnership will cause UNEV Pipeline to expand the Pipeline (for example, by installing one or more  additional pump stations of a size and in one or more locations), in the most expedited economically reasonable manner, that would add sufficient pipeline capacity to meet the additional transportation requirements, subject to: 
(a)    execution by Seller (or any of its applicable subsidiaries) of an agreement for long-term, committed transportation services for the additional volumes on the Pipeline;
(b)    compliance with the requirements of the LLC Agreement (as amended, supplemented or modified after the date hereof) and Applicable Law; and
(c)    having an acceptable common carrier rate under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations;
provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be required to pursue the expansion if such expansion would result in UNEV Pipeline receiving less than a 15% unlevered rate of return on the actual capital cost incurred by UNEV Pipeline with respect to such expansion.
Article IX 
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1    Indemnification of Buyer and Seller.  From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, (i) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Buyer Indemnified Costs and (ii) Buyer and the Partnership agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Seller Indemnified Costs.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Buyer Indemnified Costs are incurred by or attributable to UNEV Pipeline (a) the amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover under this Article IX shall be limited to an amount that is the product of (x) the amount of the Buyer Indemnified Costs, multiplied by (y) the Company’s percentage ownership interest in UNEV Pipeline at the time such Buyer Indemnified Costs were incurred by UNEV Pipeline and (b) payment with respect to such Buyer Indemnified Costs shall be directed to, for the benefit of and recoverable solely by, the Company or its designee (and not UNEV Pipeline).
9.2    Defense of Third-Party Claims.  An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to Seller or Buyer, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the commencement or assertion of any action, proceeding, demand, or claim by a third party (collectively, a “third-party action”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder.  Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:

#PageNum#

(d)    The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);
(e)    The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment could have a material adverse effect on its business;
(f)    The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and
(g)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.
The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.
9.3    Direct Claims.  In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 9.2 because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any Indemnified Costs which such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a), the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness 

#PageNum#

in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.
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 with respect to claims for breaches of the representations and warranties under this Agreement 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 first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, 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), 4.6 (Title to LLC Interests; Capitalization), 4.9 (Taxes), 4.21 (Waivers and Disclaimers), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authorization), 5.6 (Validity of Profits Interest), 6.1 (Organization), 6.2 (Authorization), 6.6 (Validity of Aggregate Units) and 6.7 (No Knowledge of Breach) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) 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; provided further, however, that any representation and warranty that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder which claim was timely made pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally paid or adjudicated.  For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1.
(b)    Limitation as to Amount of Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.  Solely with respect to Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement, (1) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 9.1, until the aggregate amount of all Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for the Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of such representations and warranties in excess of the Deductible; and (2) the aggregate amount of all Buyer Indemnified Costs arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.1, shall not exceed $15,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to breaches of the Fundamental Representations; provided, further, that the Deductible shall be counted towards the satisfaction of the Cap such that the aggregate amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs for which Seller may be liable under Section 9.1 relating to claims for which the Deductible and Cap apply shall in no event exceed $13,000,000.  For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(b) shall not apply to claims for Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1.
(c)    Amount of Damages for Breaches of Section 6.7.  The amount of Seller 

#PageNum#

Indemnified Costs with respect to any claims for breaches of the representation by Buyer set forth in Section 6.7 (No Knowledge of Breach) shall be deemed to be equal to the amount of Buyer Indemnified Costs, if any, for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are seeking or have sought indemnification under this ARTICLE IX with respect to the breach of a representation or warranty of Seller of which the Partnership had knowledge that resulted in the breach of Section 6.7.
(d)    Limitation as to Amount of Indemnification for Matters Set Forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1.  Solely with respect to Buyer Indemnified Costs relating to matters set forth on Seller Disclosure Schedule 1.1, Seller shall only be required to pay or be liable for, and Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover, 75% of the Buyer Indemnified Costs for which Seller would otherwise be liable under Section 9.1 (after giving effect to the last sentence of Section 9.1) with respect to such matters. 
(e)    Sole and Exclusive Remedy.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer’s and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties’ and Seller’s and the other Seller Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Indemnified Costs shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is not the remedy for and does not limit the Parties’ remedies for matters covered by the indemnification provisions contained in the Omnibus Agreement.
9.5    Tax Related Adjustments.  Seller and Buyer agree that any payment of Indemnified Costs made hereunder will be treated by the Parties on their tax returns as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration component of the Purchase Price.
Article X 
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1    Expenses.  Except as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement, or as provided in the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party which has incurred such expense.

(b)    Any Party may at any time change its address for service from time to time by giving notice to the other Parties in accordance with this Section 10.2.
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 

#PageNum#

another state.  Each Party hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Texas and to venue in Dallas, Texas.  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 any of Seller, Buyer or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the petroleum transportation industry.  The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator.  Seller, Buyer and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible.  Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto.  The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.  The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Seller, Buyer or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related.  Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
10.6    Parties in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
10.7    Assignment of Agreement.  At any time, the Parties may make a collateral 

#PageNum#

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, Buyer or the Partnership, as the case may be, as to any matters arising under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement (other than for delivery of notices required by any such collateral assignment).  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.7, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
10.8    Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation hereof.
10.9    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.10    Director and Officer Liability.  The directors, managers, officers, partners and stockholders of the Partnership, Seller, Buyer, and their respective Affiliates shall not have any personal liability or obligation arising under this Agreement (including any claims that another party may assert) other than, if applicable, as a direct party to or an assignee of this Agreement or pursuant to a written guarantee.
10.11    Integration.  This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter.  This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement unless it is contained in a written amendment hereto or thereto and executed by the Parties hereto or thereto after the date of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement.
10.12    Effect of Agreement.  The Parties ratify and confirm that except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the event this Agreement conflicts in any way with the Omnibus Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Omnibus Agreement shall control.
10.13    Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all Parties.  Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing.  A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive any party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.

If, at any time, the General Partner abandons such opportunity (as evidenced in writing by the General Partner following the request of Holly GP or the Holly Group Member), Holly GP or the Holly Group Member under this Section 2.3(a) may pursue such opportunity. Any Subject Assets which are permitted to be acquired by Holly GP or a Holly Group Member must be so acquired (i) within 12 months of the later to occur of (a) the date that Holly GP or the Holly Group Member becomes able to pursue such acquisition in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(a), 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 Holly Group Member than were offered to the Partnership. If either of these conditions are not satisfied, the opportunity must be reoffered to the Partnership in accordance with this Section 2.3(a).
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a), in the event that (i) Holly GP or a Holly Group Member becomes aware of an opportunity to make an acquisition that includes both Subject Assets and assets that are not Subject Assets and the Subject Assets have a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holly) 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 Holly) of the total assets being considered for acquisition or (ii) Holly GP or a Holly Group Member desires to construct Subject Assets with an estimated construction cost (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holly) equal to or greater than $5 million, then Holly GP or the Holly Group Member may make such acquisition without first offering the opportunity to the Partnership or may construct such Subject Assets as long as it complies with the following procedures:
(i)    Within 90 days after the consummation of the acquisition or the completion of construction by Holly GP or a Holly Group Member of the Subject Assets, as the case may be, Holly GP or the Holly Group Member shall notify the General Partner in writing of such acquisition or construction and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this Section 2.3(b) (the “Offer”). The Offer shall set forth the terms relating to the purchase of the Subject Assets and, if Holly GP or any Holly Group Member desires to utilize the Subject Assets, the Offer will also include the commercially reasonable terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to enable Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to utilize the Subject Assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such written notification, the General Partner shall notify Holly GP or the Holly Group Member in writing that either (x) the General Partner has elected not to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event Holly GP or the Holly Group Member shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Subject Assets, or (y) the General Partner has elected to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the following procedures shall apply.
(ii)    If Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the General Partner within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer are able to agree on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer and the other terms of the Offer including, without limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, a Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer.
(iii)    If Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the General Partner are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other terms of the Offer including, if applicable, the terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to Holly GP or the Holly Group Member to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, Holly GP or the Holly Entity and the General Partner will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the Holly Group Member are unable to agree. Such investment banking firm will determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the Holly Group Member are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the General Partner its determination. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between Holly GP or the Holly Group Member and the Partnership Group. Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and Holly GP or the Holly Group Member are unable to agree, the General Partner will have the right, but not the obligation, to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. The Partnership Group will provide written notice of its decision to Holly GP or the Holly 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 Subject Assets. If the General Partner elects to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject 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 Holly Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm, if applicable.
2.4    Scope of Prohibition.  Except as provided in this Article II and the Partnership Agreement, Holly GP and each Holly Group Member shall be free to engage in any business activity, including those that may be in direct competition with any Partnership Group Member.
2.5    Enforcement.  Holly GP and the Holly Group Members agree and acknowledge that the Partnership Group does not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach by Holly GP and the Holly Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II, and that any breach by Holly GP or the Holly Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II would result in irreparable injury to the Partnership Group.  Holly GP and the Holly Group Members further agree and acknowledge that any Partnership Group Member may, in addition to the other remedies which may be available to the Partnership Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin Holly GP and the Holly Group from such breach, and consent to the issuance of injunctive relief under this Agreement.
2.6    Limitation on Acquisitions of Subject Assets by Partnership Group Members.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Partnership Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement is prohibited from acquiring Subject Assets.  In the event the General Partner desires a Partnership Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement to acquire any Subject Assets, then the General Partner shall first cause such Partnership Group Member to become a party to this Agreement.
Article III 
Indemnification
3.1    Environmental Indemnification.  
(g)    Subject to Section 3.2, the Holly Entities shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership Entities for a period of 10 years after the Closing Date or, solely with respect to the 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets, 15 years after the Closing Date, as applicable, from and against environmental and Toxic Tort losses (including, without limitation, economic losses, diminution in value suffered by third parties, and lost profits), damages, injuries (including, without limitation, personal injury and death), liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by the Partnership Entities or any third party to the extent arising out of:
(i)    any violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws associated with the ownership or operation of the Assets, or
(ii)    any event or condition associated with ownership or operation of the Assets (including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the Assets or the disposal or release of Hazardous Substances generated by operation of the Assets at non-Asset locations), including, without limitation, (c) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, or other corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws, (d) the cost or expense of the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or necessary under Environmental Laws, and (e) the cost and expense for any environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal or litigation support work;
but only to the extent that such violation complained of under Section 3.1(a)(i) or such events or conditions included under Section 3.1(a)(ii) occurred before the Closing Date (collectively, “Covered Environmental Losses”); or
(iii)    the operation or ownership by Holly and its Affiliates of any assets not constituting part of the Assets, including but not limited to underground pipelines retained by the Seller Parties which serve the refineries in Lovington, New Mexico, Artesia, New Mexico and Woods Cross, Utah or the tanks that are part of the 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets to the extent not transferred to the Partnership Entities (the “Transferred Tanks”), except to the extent arising out of the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of a member of the Partnership Entities.
(h)    To the extent that a good faith claim by the Partnership Entities for indemnification under Section 3.1(a)(i) or Section 3.1(a)(ii) arises from events or conditions at the Transferred Tanks or the soil immediately underneath the Transferred Tanks or the Transferred Tanks’ secondary containment, and the Holly Entities refuse to provide such indemnification, then the burden of proof shall be on the Holly Entities to demonstrate that the events or conditions giving rise to the claim arose after the Closing Date.
(i)    The Holly Entities shall, during the period that commences on the Closing Date and ends five (5) years thereafter (the “Initial Tank Inspection Period”), reimburse the Partnership Entities 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 Transferred Tanks as a result of any discovery made during the Initial Tank Inspections; provided, however, that (f) the Holly Entities shall not reimburse the Partnership Entities with respect to the relocated crude oil Tank 437 in the Artesia refinery complex and the new crude oil tank to replace crude oil Tank 439 in the Artesia refinery complex more particularly described in the definition of 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets, and (g) upon expiration of the Initial Tank Inspection Period, all of the obligations of the Holly Entities pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) shall terminate, except that the Initial Tank Inspection Period shall be extended if, and only to the extent that (h) inaccessibility of the Transferred 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 (i) the Holly Entities received notice from the Partnership Entities regarding such delay at the time it occurred.
(j)    The Partnership Entities shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Holly Entities from and against environmental and Toxic Tort losses (including, without limitation, economic losses, diminution in value and lost profits suffered by third parties), damages, injuries (including, without limitation, personal injury and death), liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by the Holly Entities or any third party to the extent arising out of:
(i)    any violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws associated with the operation of the Assets by a Person other than a Holly Entity or ownership and operation of the Assets by a Person other than a Holly Entity, or
(ii)    any event or condition associated with the operation of the Assets by a Person other than a Holly Entity or ownership and operation of the Assets by a Person other than a Holly Entity (including, but not limited to, the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the Assets or the disposal or release of Hazardous Substances generated by operation of the Assets at non-Asset locations) except, where a Holly Entity is operating an Asset, to the extent resulting from the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of such Holly Entity including, without limitation, (j) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, or other corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws, (k) the cost or expense of the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or necessary under Environmental Laws, and (l) the cost and expense for any environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal or litigation support work;
but only to the extent such violation complained of under Section 3.1(d)(i) or such events or conditions included under Section 3.1(d)(ii) occurred after the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing stated above shall make the Partnership Entities responsible for any post-Closing Date negligent actions or omissions or willful misconduct by the Holly Entities.  
(k)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in Section 3.1(a) the definition of Assets shall not include the 16” Lovington/Artesia Intermediate Pipeline, the Beeson Pipeline, the Roadrunner Pipeline, the Tulsa Interconnecting Pipelines or the UNEV Pipeline.
3.2    Limitations Regarding Environmental Indemnification.  The aggregate liability of the Holly Entities in respect of all Covered Environmental Losses under Section 3.1(a) shall not exceed  (1) with respect to Assets other than the 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets, $15.0 million plus an additional $2.5 million in the case of Covered Environmental Losses related to the 8” and 10” Lovington/Artesia Intermediate Pipelines (for clarity, the first $15,000,000 million limit would apply to Covered Environmental Losses associated with the 8” and 10” Lovington/Artesia Intermediate Pipelines and the 2004 Product Pipelines, Terminal and Related Assets, while the limit between $15,000,000 and $17,500,000 would apply only to Covered Environmental Losses associated with the 8” and 10” Lovington/Artesia Intermediate Pipelines) and (2) $7.5 million in the case of Covered Environmental Losses related to the 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets.  The Holly Entities will not have any obligation under Section 3.1 with respect to any Assets until the Covered Environmental Losses of the Partnership Entities exceed $200,000.
3.3    Right of Way Indemnification.  The Holly Entities shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership Entities from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney's and expert's fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by the Partnership Entities to the extent arising out of (m) the failure of the applicable Partnership Entity to be the owner of such valid and indefeasible easement rights or fee ownership interests in and to the lands on which any pipeline or related pump station, tank farm or equipment conveyed or contributed or otherwise Transferred (including by way of a Transfer of the ownership interest of a Person or by operation of law) to the applicable Partnership Entity on the Closing Date is located as of the Closing Date; (n) the failure of the applicable Partnership Entity to have the consents, licenses and permits necessary to allow any such pipeline referred to in clause (a) of this Section 3.3 to cross the roads, waterways, railroads and other areas upon which any such pipeline is located as of the Closing Date; and (o) the cost of curing any condition set forth in clause (a) or (b) above that does not allow any Asset to be operated in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice, to the extent that the Holly Entities are notified in writing of any of the foregoing within 10 years after the Closing Date or, solely with respect to the 2008 Crude Pipelines, Tanks and Related Assets, 15 years after the Closing Date, as applicable.
3.4    Additional Indemnification.
(a)    In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification provided under Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.3, the Holly Entities shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Partnership Entities from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by the Partnership Entities to the extent arising out of (p) events and conditions associated with the operation of the Assets occurring before the Closing Date (other than Covered Environmental Losses which are provided for under Section 3.1 and Section 3.2) to the extent that the Holly Entities are notified in writing of any of the foregoing within five years after the Closing Date, (q) all legal actions pending against the Holly Entities on July 13, 2004, (r) the completion of remediation projects at the Partnership’s El Paso, Albuquerque and Mountain Home terminals that were ongoing or scheduled as of July 13, 2004, (s) events and conditions associated with the Retained Assets and whether occurring before or after the Closing Date, and (t) all federal, state and local tax liabilities attributable to the operation or ownership of the Assets prior to the Closing Date, including any such tax liabilities of the Holly Entities that may result from the consummation of the formation transactions for the Partnership Entities and the General Partner.
(b)    In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification provided under Section 3.1(b) or the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Entities shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Holly Entities from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by the Holly Entities to the extent arising out of events and conditions associated with the operation of the Assets occurring on or after the Closing Date (other than Covered Environmental Losses which are provided for under Section 3.1 except, where a Holly Entity is operating an Asset, to the extent resulting from the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of such Holly Entity), unless such indemnification would not be permitted under the Partnership Agreement by reason of one of the provisos contained in Section 7.7(a) of the Partnership Agreement.
3.5    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, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.
(c)    The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article III, including, without limitation, 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 the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.5.  In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence 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.
(d)    In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities (other than insurance policies) from third Persons.  An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to pursue all contractual indemnities that such Indemnified Party has with third Persons outside of this Agreement, 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, without limitation, making its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Party’s pursuit of such claim.  In the event the Indemnified Party recovers under a contractual indemnity from a third Person outside of this Agreement, the amount recovered, less the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts, shall reduce the amount such Indemnified Party may recover under this Article III and if the Indemnified Party receives any such amounts subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such losses, 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 the amount so received by the Indemnified Party.
(e)    The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made. 
3.6    Limitation on Indemnification Obligations. 
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the Holly Entities in Article III, the definition of Holly Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (u) the Holly Entity or Holly Entities that own or operate, or owned or operated immediately prior to the transfer to the Partnership Entities, the Retained Asset, Asset or other property in question with respect to which indemnification is sought by reason of such Holly Entity’s or Holly Entities’ ownership or operation of the Retained Asset, 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 Partnership Entities for which it is entitled to indemnification under Article III and (v) Holly.
(b)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the Partnership Entities in Article III, the definition of Partnership Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (w) the Partnership Entity or Partnership Entities that own or operate, or owned or operated, the Asset or other property in Partnership Entity’s or Partnership Group Entities’ ownership or operation of the 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 Holly Entities for which they are entitled to indemnification under Article III, (x) the Partnership and (y) the Operating Partnership.
(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification obligations of the Holly 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 Partnership Entity designated by HEP UNEV (and not by UNEV Pipeline, LLC).
3.7    Exclusion from Indemnification.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in Article III the definition of Assets shall not include the Tulsa Transferred Assets, the Sinclair Transferred Assets or the Additional Tulsa East Assets, though the parties hereto acknowledge the environmental indemnity provided among certain of the Holly Entities and HEP Entities with respect to the Sinclair Transferred Assets and the Additional Tulsa East Assets contained in the Tulsa Throughput Agreement.
Article IV 
General and Administrative Expenses
4.1    General
(c)    The Partnership will pay Holly an administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”) in the amount set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement, payable in equal quarterly installments, for the provision by Holly and its Affiliates for the Partnership Group’s benefit of all the general and administrative services that Holly and its Affiliates have traditionally provided in connection with the Assets including, without limitation, the general and administrative services listed on Schedule I to this Agreement.  The General Partner may agree on behalf of the Partnership  to  increases in the Administrative Fee in connection with expansions of the operations of the Partnership Group through the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.
(d)    At the end of each year, the Partnership will have the right to submit to Holly a proposal to reduce the amount of the Administrative Fee for that year if the Partnership believes, in good faith, that the general and administrative services performed by Holly and its Affiliates for the benefit of the Partnership Group for the year in question do not justify payment of the full Administrative Fee for that year.  If the Partnership submits such a proposal to Holly, Holly agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Partnership to determine if the Administrative Fee for that year should be reduced and, if so, by how much.
(e)    The Administrative Fee shall not include and the Partnership Group shall reimburse Holly and its Affiliates for:
(i)    salaries of employees of Holly GP, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group; 
(ii)    the cost of employee benefits relating to employees of Holly GP, such as 401(k), pension, and health insurance benefits, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group; and
(iii)    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 Holly and its Affiliates to the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.1(a).
(f)    Either Holly, on the one hand, or the Partnership, 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    Holly Right of First Refusal: Prohibition on Transfer of Refinery Related Assets.
(a)    The Partnership Entities hereby grant to Holly 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 Partnership Group Member) of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries.
(b)    The Partnership Entities are prohibited from Transferring any of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries to a Partnership Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement.  In the event the Partnership Entities wish to Transfer any of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries to a Partnership Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement, they shall first cause the proposed transferee Partnership 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 Partnership Entities. 
5.2    Procedures.  
(c)    If a Partnership Entity proposes to Transfer any of the Assets that serve the Holly Entities’ refineries to any Person pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer (an “Acquisition Proposal”), then the Partnership shall promptly give written notice (a “Disposition Notice”) thereof to Holly. The Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer: the name and address of the prospective acquiror (the “Proposed Transferee”), the Assets subject to the Acquisition Proposal (the “Sale Assets”), the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee (the “Offer Price”), reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow Holly to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, the Partnership Entities’ estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal that are then known to the Partnership Entities. To the extent the Proposed Transferee’s offer 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 Holly and the Partnership Entities agree as to the fair market value of any non-cash consideration, Holly 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. In the event (z) Holly’s determination of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by Holly within 30 days of receipt of such Disposition Notice) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by the Partnership Entities in the Disposition Notice and (aa) Holly and the Partnership Entities are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after Holly notifies the Partnership Entities of its determination thereof, the Partnership Entities and Holly 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 Holly and the Partnership Entities. Holly will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to the Partnership 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 Holly not to purchase the Sale Assets. If Holly fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 5.2(a), Holly 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 Assets.
(d)    If Holly chooses to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets under Section 5.2(a), Holly and the Partnership Entities shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Sale Assets which shall include the following terms:
(iv)    Holly will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (or any other consideration agreed to by Holly and the Partnership Entities (each in their sole discretion));
(v)    the Partnership Entities will represent that they have good and indefeasible 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 purchase of the Sale Assets, plus any other such matters as Holly may approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If Holly desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the Sale Assets, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including but not limited to the cost of title examination, document duplication and policy premium) shall be borne by Holly;
(vi)    the Partnership Entities will grant to Holly the right, exercisable at Holly’s risk and expense, to make such surveys, tests and inspections of the Sale Assets as Holly may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the Sale Assets or interfere with the activities of the Partnership Entities thereon and so long as Holly has furnished the Partnership Entities with evidence that adequate liability insurance is in full force and effect;
(vii)    Holly 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(b)(ii) or Section 5.2(b)(iii) above are, in the reasonable opinion of Holly, unsatisfactory;
(viii)    the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets shall, unless otherwise agreed to by Holly and the Partnership Entities, occur no later than 90 days following receipt by the Partnership Entities of written notice by Holly of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the Sale Assets pursuant to Section 5.2(a);
(ix)    the Partnership Entities shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Holly 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 Holly free and clear of all encumbrances created by the Partnership Entities other than those set forth in Section 5.2(b)(ii) above;
(x)    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
(xi)    neither the Partnership Entities nor Holly 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.
(e)    Holly and the Partnership Entities shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other third Person 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 Holly 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 Holly nor the Partnership 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(d).
(f)    If the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Proposal within the later of (bb) 180 days after the later of the applicable ROFR Acceptance Deadline, and (cc) 10 days after the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to lapse, and the Partnership or Partnership Entity 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.
Article VI 
Holly Purchase Option
6.1    Option to Purchase Tulsa Transferred Assets.  The Parties acknowledge the purchase options and right of first refusal granted to an Affiliate of Holly with respect to the Tulsa Transferred Assets in the Purchase Option Agreement.
Article VII 
Miscellaneous
7.1    Choice of Law.  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.  
7.2    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 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 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 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 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 (3) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities or any of their affiliates and (4) have not less than seven years experience in the petroleum transportation industry.  The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator.  The Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible.  Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the parties hereto.  The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind.  The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between the Holly Entities, the Partnership Entities or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related.
