HOLLY ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT 
(Chairman Form)
This Performance Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and you.  This Agreement is entered into as of the __ day of _____, 2013 (the “Date of Grant”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to attract, retain and motivate employees, executives, directors and consultants; 
WHEREAS, the Company believes that a grant to you of performance units of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as part of your compensation for services provided to the Company and/or the Partnership is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted; and
WHEREAS, a copy of the Plan has been furnished to you and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement (“Agreement”) as if fully set forth herein and the terms capitalized but not defined herein or on Appendix A attached hereto shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the services rendered by you, it is agreed by and between the Company and you, as follows:
1.Grant.  The Company hereby grants to you as of the Date of Grant an Award of ______ performance units (the “Performance Units”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Depending on the performance of the Partnership, you may earn from zero to 200% of the Performance Units, based on the terms set forth in Section 3.  
2.    Distribution Equivalent Rights.  As long as you hold the Performance Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive distribution equivalent rights (“DERs’) in accordance with this Section 2.  In the event the Partnership makes a distribution in respect of outstanding Units and, on the record date for such distribution, you hold Performance Units that have not yet become earned and payable under this Agreement, the Company shall pay you an amount in cash equal to the distribution amounts you would have received if you were the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of Units equal to the number of such Performance Units that have not become earned and payable as of such record date, such payment to be made on or promptly following the date that the Partnership makes such distribution (however, in no event shall the DERs be paid later than 30 days following the date on which the Partnership makes such distribution to unitholders generally). Notwithstanding this Section 2, the Performance Units granted pursuant to this Agreement do not and shall not entitle you to any rights of a holder of Units, including 

US 1765477v.5

the right to vote, prior to the date Units are delivered to you in settlement of the Performance Units pursuant to Section 5.
3.    Terms of Award.  The Performance Units represent an Award for the “Performance Period” which begins on January 1, 2013 and ends on December 31, 2015.  Following the completion of the Performance Period, you will be entitled to a payment of Units as determined under this Section 3 and/or Section 4, as applicable, and payable in Units at the time indicated in Section 5 or Section 4(b), as applicable.  
(a)    Performance Measure.  The percentage of Performance Units earned for the Performance Period is determined on the basis of Achieved DCF/Unit relative to Incentive DCF/Unit.
(b)    Units Payable.  The number of Units payable is equal to the result of multiplying Performance Units by the “Performance Percentage” set forth below with respect to Achieved DCF/Unit set forth below:
	
		
	Achieved DCF/Unit 
Equals
	Performance Percentage (%) to be Multiplied by Performance Units

	Base DCF/Unit
	0%

	Incentive DCF/Unit
	200%

The percentages above shall be interpolated between points up to a maximum of 200%; the number so derived shall be rounded to the nearest whole percentage, but not to a percentage in excess of 200%.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may make a payment to you assuming a Performance Percentage of up to 200% of the Performance Units instead of the Performance Percentage as determined pursuant to this Section 3(b).  

4.    Early Termination.  In the event you cease to provide services to the Partnership and the Company prior to the end of the Performance Period on account of an event described in this Section 4, the number of Performance Units with respect to which payment at the end of the Performance Period is based shall be determined as follows:
(a)    Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event that you cease to provide services to the Partnership and the Company:
(i)    for any reason other than voluntary separation, Cause  or a Special Involuntary Separation, 
(ii)    due to your death, 
(iii)    due to your total and permanent disability as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion, or 

2
US 1765477v.5

(iv)    due to your retirement on or after attaining normal retirement age of 62 or after attaining an earlier retirement age approved by the Committee in its sole discretion, 
then you (or your beneficiary, if applicable) shall, following the end of the Performance Period, forfeit a percentage of the total Performance Units earned (as calculated pursuant to Section 3) determined by dividing (x) the number of full months from the date of such termination until the last day of the Performance Period by (y) 36.  The Committee will determine the number of Performance Units earned by you or your beneficiary in accordance with Section 3 for the entire Performance Period as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may make a payment to you assuming a Performance Percentage of up to 200% of the Performance Units instead of the pro-rata number of Performance Units as determined pursuant to this Section 4(a).  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, you will have no right to any other Performance Units and those other Performance Units granted under this Agreement will be forfeited.  If you separate from employment prior to the end of the Performance Period due to voluntary separation or on account of Cause, all Performance Units hereunder will be forfeited.
(b)    Special Involuntary Termination.  In the event of a Special Involuntary Termination before the end of the Performance Period, no Performance Units shall be forfeited, and payment with respect to 200% of the Performance Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Special Involuntary Termination, but in no event later than 90 days after the date your employment or service relationship terminates. Payment pursuant to this Section 4(b) is in lieu of payment pursuant to Section 4(a) and if you receive payment pursuant to this Section 4(b) you will not be entitled to any payment pursuant to Section 4(a).
(c)    Effect of Employment Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 6 and any employment, change in control, or similar agreement entered into by and between you and the Company, the terms of the employment, change in control or similar agreement shall control.
(d)    Leave of Absence.  With respect to the Award, the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine that if you are on leave of absence for any reason you will be considered to still be in the employ of, or providing services for, the Company, provided that rights to the Restricted Units during a leave of absence will be limited to the extent to which those rights were earned or vested when the leave of absence began.    
5.    Payment of Performance Units.  
(a)    The number of Units payable at the end of the Performance Period (or such earlier time as specified under Section 4(b)) shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the close of the Performance Period, but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period closes (or such earlier time as specified under Section 4(b)), in the amount determined in 

3
US 1765477v.5

accordance with Section 3, as adjusted by Section 4, if applicable.  Such payment will be subject to withholding for taxes and other applicable payroll adjustments.  The Committee’s determination of the amount payable shall be binding upon you and your beneficiary or estate.  The number of Units payable will be rounded down to the nearest Share.  No fractional Units will be issued pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    If you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of your “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)), then you will not be entitled to receive Units in settlement of Performance Units until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after your “separation from service” for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of your death.  The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall only apply if and to the extent required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty, or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.  
6.    Payment of Taxes.  The Company may require you to pay to the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company if you are an employee of an Affiliate of the Company), an amount the Company deems necessary to satisfy its (or its Affiliate’s) current or future obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes that you incur as a result of the Award.  With respect to any required tax withholding and to the extent permissible pursuant to Rule 16b-3, you may (a) direct the Company to withhold from the Units to be issued to you under this Agreement the number of Units necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes; which determination will be based on the Units’ Fair Market Value at the time such determination is made; (b) deliver to the Company Units sufficient to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations, based on the Units’ Fair Market Value at the time such determination is made; or (c) deliver cash to the Company sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations.  If you desire to elect to use the Unit withholding option described in subparagraph (a), you must make the election at the time and in the manner the Company prescribes.  The Committee, in its discretion, may deny your request to satisfy its tax withholding obligations using a method described under subparagraph (a) or (b).  In the event the Company determines that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Units withheld as payment of any tax withholding obligation is insufficient to discharge that tax withholding obligation, then you must pay to the Company, in cash, the amount of that deficiency immediately upon the Company’s request.  In the event that you fail to make arrangements that are acceptable to the Committee for providing to the Company, at the time or times required, the amounts of federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Performance Units granted to you under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to purchase and/or to sell to one or more third parties in either market or private transactions sufficient Units otherwise paid or payable pursuant to this Award to provide the funds needed for the Company to make the required tax payment or payments.
7.    Adjustment in Number of Performance Units.  Except as provided below, in the event that the outstanding Units are increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of units or other securities, or if additional, new or different units or securities are distributed with respect to the Units through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, reorganization, recapitalization, unit dividend, unit split, reverse unit split or other distribution with respect to such Units, there shall be substituted for the Units under the 

4
US 1765477v.5

Performance Units subject to this Agreement the appropriate number and kind of Units or new or replacement securities as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
8.    Compliance with Securities Law.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the issuance of Units (including Performance Units) will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state, or foreign law with respect to such securities and with the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Units may then be listed.  No Units will be issued hereunder if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state, or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Units may then be listed.  In addition, Units will not be issued hereunder unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act, is at the time of issuance in effect with respect to the Units issued or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the Units issued may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Units subject to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such Units as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.  As a condition to any issuance hereunder, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect to such compliance as may be requested by the Company.  From time to time, the Board and appropriate officers of the Company are authorized to take the actions necessary and appropriate to file required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges, and other appropriate Persons to make Units available for issuance.
9.    Furnish Information.  You agree to furnish to the Company all information requested by the Company to enable it to comply with any reporting or other requirements imposed upon the Company by or under any applicable statute or regulation.
10.    Remedies.  The Company shall be entitled to recover from you reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the successful enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement whether by an action to enforce specific performance or for damages for its breach or otherwise.
11.    Execution of Receipts and Releases.  Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of Units or other property to you, or to your legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such Persons hereunder. The Company may require you or your legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment or issuance, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.
12.    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such provision will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable; and if such provision cannot be so modified, then this Agreement will be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly.

In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
14.    No Right to Continued Employment.  This Agreement shall not be construed to confer upon you any right to continue as an employee, officer or service provider of the Company and shall not limit the right of the Company, in its sole discretion, to terminate your service at any time.

17.    Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended by the Board or by the Committee at any time (a) if the Board or the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any addition to or change in any federal or state, tax or securities law or other law or regulation, which change occurs after the Date of Grant and by its terms applies to the Award; or (b) other than in the circumstances described in clause (a) or provided in the Plan, with your consent.
18.    No Liability for Good Faith Determinations.  The Company and the members of the Committee and the Board shall not be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the Performance Units granted hereunder.
