(a) Third
Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by
any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the
foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying
Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of
such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by
reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall
include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable,
of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Clear Skies, such Indemnifying
Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by
or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Cerberus or its Affiliates, or (y) seeks an injunction or other
equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third
Party Claim, subject to Section 5.4(a), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid,
dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with
counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party
determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to
promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to
diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 5.4(a), pay,
compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or
relating to such Third Party Claim. The Members and Cerberus shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in
connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section
4.1) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual
out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably
necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)
Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not
enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided
in this Section 5.4(a). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation
of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional
release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying
Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified
Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party
as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to
such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party
Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense
pursuant to Section 5.4(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c)
Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a
“Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt
written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim.
The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations,
except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by
the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence
thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct
Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance
alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim
and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance
(including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records)
as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond
within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party
shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions
of this Agreement.

or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

 

Section
5.5 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this

of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date
of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made
at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed.

by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section
5.7 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified
Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified
Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Date”) by and between Bradley MacKenzie, Richard Belisle, Greag Johnson and Scott Miles (individually, a “Stockholder”
and collectively, the “Stockholders”), and Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Stockholders are collectively the owners of 2,330,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Shares”), and as an inducement to third parties to invest in the Company’s common stock,
each Stockholder is willing to execute this Agreement.

 

NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the terms and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
LOCK UP OF SHARES; PERMITTED LEAK OUTS.

 

(a)
Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company and except as set forth below, he will not
during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Lock
Up Period”) (i) offer, pledge, gift, donate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap, option (including, without limitation, put or call options), short sale,
future, forward or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise ((i) and (ii) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lock Up”);

 

(b)
The Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company during the relevant Lock Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Shares to
decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares subject
to the Lock Up for which the Stockholder is the record holder and, in the case of Shares subject to this Agreement for which the
Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock Up Period to cause the record holder to cause
the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to the Shares subject to the Lock Up, if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement; and

 

(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Stockholder may transfer the Shares as set forth below (collectively, the “Permitted
Transfer”), provided that each transferee, donee or distributee of the Shares shall sign and deliver to the Company
a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter contemporaneously with such transaction (such letter reflecting the
time remaining for the obligations hereunder, and does not serve to increase the length of any of the obligations hereunder or
thereunder):

 

(i)
as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of a family member.

 

    	 	Page B-1	 

    	 

    

 

(ii)
the pledge, hypothecation or granting of a collateral security interest in the Shares; and

 

(iii)
the sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Shares via private sale (a “Private Sale”).

 

(iv)
Upon request by the Stockholder, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a Private Sale of the
Shares at the then current bid price of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the release of any Shares from the Lock Up,
the Stockholder agrees to limit the resales of such Shares in the public market as follows (the “Additional Restrictions”):
if the daily average trading volume on the primary trading markets on which the Common Stock is then quoted or listed (i) is less
than 30,000 shares of Common Stock, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 1,000 Shares per trading day; (ii) is greater than
30,000 shares of Common Stock, but less than 100,000 shares, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 5,000 Shares per trading
day; and (iii) is greater than 100,000 shares, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 50,000 Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if not earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Additional Restrictions shall automatically terminate and cease
to be of further force and effect, on the 36 month anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

2.
RELEASES.

 

(a)
The Lock Up and the Additional Restrictions shall automatically terminate if a Change of Control should occur during the Lock
Up Period. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean any one of the following: (i)
the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another any individual, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, firm, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity (collectively,
a “Person”) (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation collectively continue to hold at least 60% of the earning power, voting power or capital
stock of the surviving Person); (ii) the issuance, transfer, sale or disposition to another Person of the voting power or capital
stock of the Company, if after such issuance, sale, transfer or disposition such Person would hold more than 40% of the voting
power or capital stock of the Company; (iii) if the Persons who, on the date of this Agreement, constitute a majority of the board
of directors of the Company, or Persons nominated and/or appointed as directors by vote of a majority of such Persons, shall for
any reason cease to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; (iv) a sale, transfer or disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets or earning power of Company; or (iv) dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company.

 

(b)
All of the Company’s Common Stock (or options or other instruments convertible into such Common Stock) now owned or hereafter
acquired, and held, directly or indirectly, by officers or directors of the Company are subject to a lock up agreement which is
at least as restrictive as this Agreement, and which contain a Lock Up Period and Additional Restrictions, each expiring no earlier
than the periods provided for herein. At any time during the Lock Up Period or prior to the expiration of the Additional Restrictions,
in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may elect to release some or all of the Common Stock
of any holder from the terms of a lock up in such amounts as it may determine; provided that any such release shall also provide
for the release of the Shares under this Agreement, in an equal percentage to the total number of Shares subject to this Agreement
as to the release of the lock up of shares of the Company’s Common Stock for any such other holder benefiting from such
release.

 

    	 	Page B-2	 

    	 

    

 

3.
TRANSFER; SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. As provided above, any Permitted Transfer shall require the transferee
to execute a lock up agreement in accordance with the same terms set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,
is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

4.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. In the event of a Permitted Transfer, as a condition to the Company agreeing to such Permitted
Transfer, the Stockholder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
to the effect that the transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and that the transfer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.
LEGENDS.

 

(a)
The Stockholder hereby agrees that each outstanding certificate representing the Shares, or the records of the transfer agent
for the Shares if the Shares are registered in book-entry form, shall during the Lock Up Period, in addition to any other legends
as may be required in compliance with Federal securities laws, bear a legend reading substantially as follows:

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED CONSULTING AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 

This Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is between HollyFrontier Corporation and HollyFrontier Payroll Services, Inc., on behalf of themselves and their respective parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), and me, James Stump.  By signing this Agreement, I am agreeing to release all claims against the Company, and promising not to sue the Company in the future with respect to those released claims, all as described in more detail below.  In exchange for my agreements and promises and the timely execution (and non-revocation) of the release of claims in the form set forth as Attachment B (the “Release”) which attachment is part of this Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay me Benefits (set forth on Attachment A) which I understand I would not receive unless I sign this Agreement.  I acknowledge and agree to the following:

1.Retirement.  I understand that my final day of employment with the Company will be on my Retirement Date set forth on Attachment A, which attachment is part of this Agreement.  All salary and other benefits will cease at that time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

2.Benefits.  I understand that I am being separated from the payroll and that I have been offered Benefits (set forth on Attachment A) in exchange for signing and complying with the terms of this Agreement.  This payment is subject to taxes and customary withholdings and will be paid within the time period set forth on Attachment A.  I understand that payment will cease upon my breach of any part of this Agreement. 

3.Release of Claims.  I understand and agree that this Agreement is conditioned upon my timely execution and non-revocation of the Release.  If I do not execute and return the Release to the HR Contact identified on Attachment A or if I revoke the Release within the revocation period set forth in the Release, this Agreement will be null and void, the Company will have no obligations hereunder, and my employment will end on my Retirement Date.
 
4.Legal Action and Legal Fees.  I understand that I must pay the Company’s legal fees if I sue the Company for any claims waived and/or released in the Release or otherwise break my promises in this Agreement.  I understand that I do not have to pay the Company’s legal fees under this paragraph, and that I will not be penalized in any way, if I challenge only my waiver and/or release of age discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).

5.Cooperation.  I agree, upon the Company’s request, to reasonably cooperate in any Company or government investigation, arbitration and/or litigation regarding events that occurred during my employment with the Company.  I understand that the Company will compensate me for any reasonable expenses I incur as a result of such cooperation, as long as I request such compensation in advance and in writing.

6.Certain Obligations.  I understand that after my Retirement Date, I continue to be bound by my other obligations and promises to the Company, including, but not limited to, the obligations contained in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), and any intellectual property agreements signed by me, except as specifically modified by this Agreement.  I also understand that this Agreement does not, however, limit me from providing information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or another governmental agency, including as part of a whistleblower action and/or a report of possible violation(s) of any federal securities law.

I affirm my obligation to the Company not to disclose to any third party non-public Company information.  I understand that this paragraph shall not apply to information that is required to be disclosed by law or to information provided to a government agency or entity acting in its official capacity.

7.Return of Property.  In accordance with my existing and continuing obligations to the Company (including those obligations arising under the Code and any confidentiality, intellectual property and/or other agreements that I have previously signed), except as otherwise agreed to with the Company in writing, I agree that I have returned or will immediately return to the Company, within five (5) days of my execution of this Agreement or on my Retirement Date (whichever is later), all Company property, including building passes, credit cards, keys, telephones, company files, documents, records, computer access codes, computer programs, instruction manuals, business plans, and other property that I received, prepared, or helped to prepare in connection with my employment with the Company.  I also agree that I will not keep and have not kept any copies, duplicates, reproductions, computer disks, or excerpts of any confidential or proprietary Company materials, documents or trade secrets. 

8. Confidential Information.  I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), unless an officer of the Company authorizes me to do so in writing.  I will obtain the Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work while at the Company and/or that incorporates any Proprietary Information.  I reaffirm that all Proprietary Information that I may have prepared or acquired during my employment is the sole property of the Company.  The term “Proprietary Information” means and includes all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company, including trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, data, programs, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments and designs and techniques.  It also includes business information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, prices and costs, suppliers and customers as well as information regarding the identity, skills and compensation of other employees of the Company.  

9. Statements Concerning the Company.  I agree to refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about the Company or its directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or representatives that (a) are slanderous, libelous or defamatory, or (b)  place the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or representatives in a false light before the public.  Similarly, the Company shall refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about me that (a) are slanderous, libelous or defamatory, or (b) place me in a false light before the public. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).  A violation or threatened violation of this prohibition may be enjoined by the courts.  The rights afforded to me and to the Company under this provision are in addition to any and all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law.
 
10.Update Social Media Sites.  Within five (5) days following my Retirement Date, I will update any social networking sites, including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, to indicate that I am no longer employed by the Company.  In addition, within five (5) days following the end of the Consulting Period (as defined below), I will update any social networking sites, including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, to indicate that I am no longer affiliated the Company.   

11.Non-solicitation.  I agree that from and after the date I receive this Agreement and for two (2) years after my Retirement Date, I will not, either directly or through others, (a) solicit or attempt to solicit, or assist any other person in soliciting, any employee of the Company to end his or her relationship with the Company; (b) recruit, hire or attempt to recruit or hire, or assist any other person in recruiting or hiring, any employee of the Company for a competing business; or (c) solicit, or assist any other person in soliciting, any consultant, vendor, contractor or customer of the Company, with whom I had contact or whose identity I learned as a result of my employment with the Company, to diminish or materially alter its relationship with the Company. I also will not provide the names or any other information about any employees of the Company to any person, recruiter or competing business. I understand and agree that for purposes of this Agreement, a customer is any person or entity to which the Company has provided goods or services at any time during the two (2) year period before my Retirement Date.

		
	12.
	Consulting.  

		
	a.
	For the period beginning July 1, 2020 and continuing until the earlier of (a) the mechanical completion of the Company’s renewable diesel facility in Cheyenne (as determined by the Company), and (b) the termination of this Agreement (the “Consulting Period”), the Company will pay me a retainer of $49,000 per month (pro-rated for partial months) to provide services (the “Services”) that the Company may reasonably request from time to time in the capacity of an independent contractor, which Services shall include providing consultation and assistance with respect to the transition of duties and  overseeing the conversion of the Cheyenne refinery to a renewable diesel facility. I will submit an invoice to the Company within five (5) business days following the end of each month in which the Consulting Period existed that contains a description of the Services provided during the calendar month to which the invoice relates, and the Company will pay the retainer for the applicable calendar month within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such invoice.  At the request of the Company, I will also submit reasonable documentation evidencing the work performed during a prior calendar month. Subject to reasonable prior approval of the Company, the Company shall pay or reimburse me for all reasonable (in type and amount) and necessary business expenses incurred by me in the course of providing Services for the Company.  I will furnish the Company with the documentation required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or by any successor revenue statute) and the regulations thereunder in connection with all such expenses, including, without limitation, all approved business travel and entertainment expenses.

		
	b.
	If the Consulting Period is not terminated prior to the mechanical completion of the Company’s Cheyenne renewable diesel facility, I am eligible for a completion bonus  (the “Completion Bonus”) as follows:

	
			
	Minimum
	Target
	Maximum

	$50,000
	$300,000
	$600,000

The amount of the Completion Bonus will be based on safety, project timeline and budget metrics with respect to the Company’s Cheyenne renewable diesel facility conversion project and such metrics shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and conveyed to me within 90 days of my execution of this Agreement.  To the extent earned pursuant to this Paragraph 12.b., the Completion Bonus will be paid within 15 days of the mechanical completion of the Company’s Cheyenne renewable diesel facility as determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, provided I continue to provide Services for the Company through such completion.

		
	c.
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the retainer arrangements set forth in this Paragraph 12 (and the Consulting Period) may be terminated at any time by the Company or me, with or without cause, upon written notice to the other party; provided, however, that if the Company terminates the retainer arrangements set forth in this Paragraph 12 without “cause” (as defined below) or I terminate this Agreement due to an act of cause by the Company, in each case on or prior to March 31, 2021, the Company shall pay me the unpaid retainer payment, at $49,000 per month (pro-rated for partial months), for each month until March 31, 2021, with monthly payments being made within thirty (30) days after the end of each applicable calendar month (; provided, however, any retainer that remains unpaid as of March 1 of any year will be paid no later than March 15 of such year; provided, further, that if I terminate this Agreement other than due to an act of cause by the Company or the Company terminates this Agreement for cause, I will forfeit any unpaid and unearned payments and any unvested equity awards held at such time.  For purposes of this Paragraph 12, “cause” is defined as: (x) a party’s material breach of this Agreement to the extent such breach remains uncured (if capable of cure) after the other party has given such party notice in writing thereof and such party has failed to cure such breach within ten (10) business days; or (y) a party’s fraud, forgery, misrepresentation, dishonesty, errors or omissions that materially and adversely affects the other party.  For purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) each installment payment payable pursuant to this Paragraph 12.c. will be treated as a separate payment.

		
	d.
	In performing and providing the Services, I will comply with all applicable laws and with all applicable orders, rules and regulations of all duly constituted authorities.

		
	e.
	For purposes of providing the Services to the Company and its subsidiaries, I shall at all times be an independent contractor during the Consulting Period. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or employer and employee, between the Company and me during the Consulting Period. During the Consulting Period, I shall have no authority to hire any persons on behalf of the Company, and any person whom I may employ shall be deemed to be solely my employee.  I shall have control and management of the work under Paragraph 12 of this Agreement, and no right is reserved to the Company to direct or control the manner in which the work is performed, as distinguished from the result to be accomplished.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize me to incur any debt, liability or obligation of any nature for or on behalf of the Company.  I agree that any Services I perform shall be completed and delivered reasonably in accordance with requests provided to me by the Company from time to time and consistent with the policies and practices of the Company with respect to work performed on or with respect to its projects, property, or premises.  Neither I nor my agents or employees, if any, shall be eligible to participate in any benefits or privileges given or extended by the Company to its employees (other than any benefits to which I may be entitled by virtue of my status as a former employee of the Company, prior to the beginning of the Consulting Period), including, but not limited to, pension, profit sharing, workers’ compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, other insurance, health, medical, life or disability benefits or coverage, or paid time off.  I am responsible for paying any and all taxes owed on payments received by me pursuant to this Paragraph 12, and I shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, and the foregoing entities’ respective representatives, for all claims, damages, costs and liabilities arising from my failure to do so.  I agree to be solely responsible for (and to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates for) my acts or omissions and the acts and omissions of my employees, if any, including acts or omissions during the performance of Services pursuant to this Agreement.

		
	f.
	All proprietary technology and all financial, operating, and training ideas, processes, and materials, including works of expression and all copyrights in such works, relating to the Company’s current or potential business, that are developed, written, conceived of, or improved upon by me, singly or jointly, in connection with, as a result of, or otherwise incident to the performance of this Agreement (including in performing or providing the Services), shall be the sole property of the Company.  Accordingly, I will disclose, deliver, and assign, and I do hereby assign, to the Company all of my right, title and interest in and to such patentable inventions, discoveries, and improvements, trade secrets, and all works subject to copyright.  I agree to execute all documents and patent applications, to make all arrangements necessary to further document such ownership and/or assignment, and to take whatever other steps may be needed to give the Company the full benefit of them, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter.  I specifically agree that all copyrighted materials generated or developed as a result of my services under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, computer programs and documentation, shall be considered works made for hire under the copyright laws of the United States and that they shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the Company.

		
	g.
	Unless approved by the Company in writing, all Services under this Agreement shall be provided by me and by no other person.

13.Non-Competition.  The Company has provided me with access to Company Proprietary Information and will continue to provide me with access to new Company Proprietary Information during the period of my consulting duties described in Paragraph 12.  I acknowledge and agree that I will know the Company’s Competitors as of the Retirement Date.  Further, I acknowledge and agree that I have voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 13.  I further agree and acknowledge that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects and not oppressive, shall not cause me undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company’s Proprietary Information, goodwill and substantial and legitimate business interests.

		
	a.
	I agree that, following my Retirement Date and prior to and including the last date of the Consulting Period, I will not, without the prior written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, directly or indirectly, for me or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:

 
		
	i.
	Directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, join, become an officer, director, employee or consultant of, or otherwise be affiliated with any Competitor; or

		
	ii.
	Appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company located in the Market Area.

		
	b.
	The covenants in this Paragraph 13, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof).  Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

		
	c.
	For purposes of this Paragraph 13, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

		
	i.
	“Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment or other business opportunity relating to a Competitor.

		
	ii.
	“Competitor” shall mean any direct competitor to the Company’s refinery business, which shall include the refining of petroleum regardless of the end product (whether gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, specialty and modified asphalt or other refined products) or the manufacturing of renewable hydrocarbon biofuels (whether renewable diesel, renewable gasoline or other product),  as of the Retirement Date.  

		
	iii.
	“Market Area” shall mean the United States.

14.Applicable Law.  The laws of the State of Texas apply to this Agreement.

15.Enforceability.  This Agreement is valid, even if any section or term is not enforceable.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be unenforceable under the governing law, the rest of the Agreement shall continue to apply.  

16.Waiver of Right to a Trial by Jury; Injunctive Relief.  I understand that pursuant to this Agreement, I am giving up my right to a trial by jury.  The Company also waives its right to a trial by jury.  However, I recognize and agree that because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth Paragraphs 8, 9, 11 and 13, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company for which it would have no other adequate remedy, the Company shall be entitled to enforce such covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.  The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth Paragraphs 8, 9, 11 and 13, but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company at law and equity. 

17.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company and their successors and assigns.  In the event of the material breach of this Agreement by the Company or any successor to the Company upon or following a “Change in Control” (as such term is defined in the Equity Awards described in Attachment A), in each case, on or prior to March 31, 2021, the amounts payable upon a termination by the Company of the Consulting Period without cause contemplated in Paragraph 12.c., will be paid as provided in Paragraph 12.c., and the benefits specified in Attached A (specifically, the pro-rated annual incentive bonus and vesting of the Equity Awards), to the extent such benefits were not previously paid or provided, will be paid within 60 days of such breach; provided, that, I must provide written notice to the Company or such successor of such breach within 15 days of its occurrence and the breach must remain uncured by the Company or such successor for 30 days; provided, that, for purposes of clarity, amounts payable pursuant to Paragraph 12, this Paragraph 17 or Attachment A are not intended to be duplicative and will only be paid once.

18.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and its attachments contain the entire agreement between the Company and me concerning the separation of my employment and the Services to be provided by me, except as set forth in Paragraph 6 above.  In deciding to sign this Agreement, I am not relying on any statements or promises except those found in this Agreement.  Except as set forth in Paragraph 6 above, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements between the Company and me dealing with the same subjects, including the Consulting Agreement and Release agreed to by the Company on February 27, 2020. 

19.Consultation with an Attorney.  The Company has advised me, and hereby advises me in writing, to consult with an attorney, at my own expense, before signing this Agreement, and I have had the opportunity to do so. 

20.Reaffirmation.  If asked by the Company to re-execute and reaffirm my obligations under this Agreement (including the Release) on or after my Retirement Date, I agree to do so as one of my obligations under this Agreement and as a condition of receiving the Benefits set forth on Attachment A. 

21.MMSEA.  I have not, as of today, incurred any medical expenses as a Medicare beneficiary, and am not aware of any medical expenses that Medicare has paid on my behalf and for which the Company may be liable.

22.Mediation and Arbitration.  With the exception of any alleged violation of Paragraphs 8, 9, 11 or 13 of this Agreement, any other controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach will first be settled through good faith negotiation.  If the dispute cannot be settled through negotiation, the Company and I agree to attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by JAMS.  If the Company and I are unsuccessful at resolving the dispute through mediation, we agree to binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures and subject to JAMS Policy on Employment Arbitration Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness.  Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

23.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Electronic copies of signatures shall be deemed to be original.

Benefits

 
The benefits noted in this section are conditioned upon your execution of the Agreement, your execution and non-revocation of the Release, and your continued employment through the Retirement Date.  In addition, to be eligible for benefits noted on this Attachment A, you must satisfactorily perform your duties and remain in good standing with the Company through your Retirement Date.  

Annual Incentive Bonus:
You will receive a pro-rated bonus based on nine months of service during the current performance period.  Payment will be based on your actual performance and that of the Company, in each case as certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of 2020.  The pro-rated bonus will be paid within 45 days after such certification.  The pro-rated bonus will be payable to you and reported on a Form W-2 and is subject to taxes and other withholdings.

Vesting of Long-Term Incentive Awards:
If you continuously comply with the restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 8, 9, 11 and 13 and continue to perform the consulting services set forth in Paragraph 12 (and such consulting arrangement is not terminated by the Company for cause) until March 31, 2021, then, on March 31, 2021, you will become fully vested in, and the restrictions will lapse on, the following awards (the “Equity Awards”) granted to you by HollyFrontier Corporation (and such awards will not be forfeited on your Retirement Date):

Restricted Stock Units

Grant Date        Restricted Stock Units That Vest
November 7, 2017    3,939 (third tranche)    
November 6, 2018    5,090 shares (second and third tranche)                                    
Performance Share Units

November 7, 2017    11,815 (at target)    
November 6, 2018    7,635 (at target)        

You acknowledge that the performance share units are being settled at target (in the amounts set forth above), and you will not be entitled to any additional shares based on certification of the performance goals set forth in the applicable award agreement by the Compensation Committee at a later date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the award agreements evidencing the equity awards set forth above, you will not be entitled to the vesting or settlement of any awards during the Consulting Period.  Any awards that would vest pursuant to their terms during the Consulting Period will instead vest on March 31, 2021 subject to your continued performance of the consulting services set forth in Paragraph 12 (and provided such consulting arrangement is not terminated by the Company for cause).  In the event such consulting arrangement is terminated by the Company for cause such awards will be immediately forfeited to the Company and become null and void.  

Settlement of these restricted stock units and performance units will be subject to tax withholdings and reported as income on a Form W-2.

Any other long-term incentive awards you hold as of your Retirement Date will become null and void on your Retirement Date.
  
COBRA Premiums: 
The Company will provide to you a lump sum payment of $23,757.36 on your Retirement Date to cover 12 months of COBRA premiums.  The amount will be payable to you and reported on a Form W-2, subject to taxes and other withholdings.  The amount will be paid within thirty days after the latter of the date you sign this Agreement and the date you sign the Release (assuming you do not subsequently revoke the Release during the revocation period).  You may use that payment to continue coverage under COBRA, to purchase other health care coverage, or for any other purpose.  The regular COBRA procedures and rules will apply, and full COBRA premiums will be charged for continuation coverage for yourself and eligible dependents.

Unconditional Benefits

ATTACHMENT B

RELEASE OF CLAIMS

This Release of Claims (“Release”) is between HollyFrontier Corporation and HollyFrontier Payroll Services, Inc., on behalf of themselves and their respective parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively the “Company”), and me, James Stump.  By signing this Release, I am agreeing to waive and release all claims against the Company and promising not to sue the Company in the future, all as described in more detail below.  In exchange for my agreements and promises, the Company has agreed to pay the Benefits set forth on Attachment A which I understand I would not receive unless I sign and do not revoke this Release as described in Paragraph 3 below.  I acknowledge and agree to the following:
    
1.    Waiver of Claims.  I realize that there are various local, state, and federal laws, both statutory and common law, that may apply and/or relate to my employment or engagement with the Company.  Such laws include, but are not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (a/k/a Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code).  

By signing this Release, I, on behalf of myself and anyone who may have the legal right to make claims on my behalf, release the Company, and its respective directors, officers, representatives, agents and employees, and any of the Company’s successors or predecessors, affiliates, or parent, subsidiary and related companies (collectively referred to as “Releasees”) from any and all claims, known or unknown, including claims for attorneys’ fees and costs, which relate to, or arise out of, my employment or separation from the Company, including any alleged violations of the laws listed above in this Paragraph 1.  I understand that, subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 2 below, I am giving up all statutory, common law or contract claims and rights, including those that I am not currently aware of and those not mentioned in this Release, up to and through the date that I sign and deliver this Release to the Company.  If any claim is not subject to release, I waive, to the extent permitted by law, any right or ability to be a class or collective action representative or to opt-in and/or otherwise participate in any putative or certified class, collective or multi-party action or proceeding based on such a claim in which the Company or any other Releasee identified in this Release is a party.
2.    Certain Actions Not Prohibited.   I understand that this Release does not prohibit or prevent me from filing a charge or participating, testifying, or assisting in investigations, hearings, or other proceedings conducted by the EEOC or the NLRB, or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws.  However, to the maximum extent provided by law, I agree that if such an administrative claim is made to an anti-discrimination agency, I shall not be entitled to any individual damages, money, or other personal benefits as a result of such charge, investigation or proceeding.  In addition, I understand that nothing in this Release prohibits me from (a) reporting possible violations of law (including securities laws) to any government agency or entity, including to the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any agency Inspector General; (b) making disclosures protected under federal whistleblower laws; or (c) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  This Release does not prohibit or prevent me from receiving individual monetary awards or other individual relief by virtue of participating in such whistleblower programs.  Furthermore, I understand, and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Release does not prevent me from exercising my rights, if any, to (a) vested benefits under any pension or savings plan or deferred compensation plan; (b) COBRA benefits under Section 601-608 of ERISA; (c) receive pay for accrued but unused vacation; and/or (d) any right to my base salary through my Retirement Date.
3.    Revocation of This Release.  I understand that, pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (OWBPA), I have the right to consult an attorney at my own expense before signing this Release, and the Company has advised me (and hereby advises me in writing) to consult an attorney; I have at least twenty-one calendar days from the date I receive this Release to consider the Release before signing it; I may change my mind and revoke the Release within seven calendar days after signing it; and that the Release shall not go into effect until then.  If I decide to revoke this Release, I understand that the Company must receive written notice of my decision before the seven calendar day period expires.  I must provide that notice to the HR Contact identified on Attachment A before the time period expires.
4.    Applicable Law.  The laws of the State of Texas apply to this Release.
