2.    Restricted Units.  The Company shall obtain the Units subject to this Agreement and cause such Units to be held for you in book entry form by the Partnership’s transfer agent with a notation that the Units are subject to restrictions.

Effective from the Date of Grant, you are a unitholder with respect to all of the Restricted Units granted to you pursuant to Section 1 and have all of the rights of a unitholder with respect to all such Restricted Units, including the right to receive all distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Units and any right to vote with respect to such Restricted Units; provided, however, that such Restricted Units shall be subject to the restrictions hereinafter described, including, without limitation, those described in Section 5.
4.    Forfeiture and Expiration of Restrictions.
(a)    Expiration of Restrictions and Risk of Forfeiture.  The restrictions on the Restricted Units granted pursuant to this Agreement and described in Section 5 will expire and the Restricted Units will become transferable, except to the extent provided in Section 9 of this Agreement and nonforfeitable as set forth in the Notice of Grant and in this Section 4, provided that you remain in the employ of, or a service provider to, the Company or its subsidiaries until the applicable dates and times set forth therein.  Restricted Units that become vested and non-forfeitable as provided in this Agreement are referred to herein as “Vested Units.”  
(b)    Termination Generally.  Subject to subsections (c), (d) and (e), if your employment and service relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, then those Restricted Units for which the restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of termination shall become null and void and those Restricted Units shall be forfeited.

5.    Limitations on Transfer.  You agree that you shall not dispose of (meaning, without limitation, sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of) any Restricted Units hereby acquired prior to the expiration of the relevant restrictions imposed by this Section 5 which expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.  Any attempted disposition of the Restricted Units in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void, and the Company shall not recognize or give effect to such transfer on its books and records or recognize the person or persons to whom such proposed transfer has been made as the legal or beneficial holder thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, part or all of the Restricted Units or rights under this Agreement may be transferred to a spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, such Restricted Units shall continue to be held pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, and the transferee under the domestic relations order shall agree that the Restricted Units so transferred shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including forfeiture and pro rata forfeiture in accordance with Sections 4 of this Agreement.

Any of your rights and privileges in connection herewith shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by you or by any other person or persons, in any way, whether by operation of law, or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or similar process.  In the event of any such occurrence, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated and shall thereafter be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or some of the Restricted Units or rights under this Agreement may be transferred to a spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the limitations on such transfer described in Section 5.
7.    Adjustment of Restricted Units.  The number of Restricted Units granted to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect distributions of the Partnership paid in units, unit splits or other changes in the capital structure of the Partnership, all in accordance with the Plan.  All provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable to such new or additional or different units or securities distributed or issued pursuant to the Plan to the same extent that such provisions are applicable to the units with respect to which they were distributed or issued.  In the event that the outstanding Units of the Partnership are exchanged for a different number or kind of units or other securities, or if additional, new or different units are distributed with respect to the Units through merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, each remaining unit subject to this Agreement shall have substituted for it a like number and kind of units or shares of new or replacement securities as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.

9.    Securities Act.  The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Restricted Units to be registered under the appropriate rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company shall not be required to deliver any Vested Units hereunder if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such delivery would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.  
10.    Federal and State Taxes.  You may incur certain liabilities for Federal, state or local taxes and the Company may be required by law to withhold such taxes for payment to taxing authorities.  If you make the election permitted by section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxes shall be due and payable for the year in which this Agreement is executed.  If you do not make such election, the taxes shall be payable for the year in which the restrictions lapse pursuant to Section 4.  Upon determination of the year in which such taxes are due and the determination by the Company of the amount of taxes required to be withheld, if any, you shall either pay to the Company, in cash or by certified or cashier’s check, an amount equal to the taxes required to be paid on such transaction, or you shall authorize the Company to withhold from monies owing by the Company to you an amount equal to the amount of federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld.  Your authorization to the Company to withhold taxes pursuant to this Section 10 shall be in form and content acceptable to the Committee.  An authorization to withhold taxes pursuant to this provision shall be irrevocable unless and until your tax liability has been fully paid.  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 Restricted Units granted to you under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to purchase at current market price as determined by the Committee and/or to sell to one or more third parties in either market or private transactions sufficient Vested Units to provide the funds needed for the Company to make the required tax payment or payments.
11.    Definitions; Copy of Plan.  To the extent not specifically provided herein, all terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.  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.
12.    Administration.  This Agreement shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  The Committee shall have sole and complete discretion with respect to all matters reserved to it by the Plan and decisions of a majority of the Committee with respect thereto and this Agreement shall be final and binding upon you and the Company.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
13.    No Right to Continued Service Relationship.  This Agreement shall not be construed to confer upon you any right to continue as an employee or officer of or service provider to the Company and shall not limit the right of the Company, in its sole discretion, to terminate your service at any time.

Exhibit 10.2
HOLLY ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. 
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT
This Performance Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) was made and entered into by and between Holly Logistic Service, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Matthew P. Clifton (the “Service Provider”).  This Agreement was entered into as of the 1st day of March, 2012 (the “Date of Grant”) and is amended and restated as of April 29, 2014 to be effective as of February 28, 2014 to clarify the continued “double-trigger” vesting of the Performance Units in connection with a Special Involuntary Termination.
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; and
WHEREAS, the Company continues to believe that the grant to the Service Provider of performance units of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as part of the Service Provider’s compensation for services provided to the Company and/or the Partnership was and is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted. 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the services rendered by the Service Provider, it is agreed by and between the Company and the Service Provider, as follows:
1.Grant.  The Company previously granted to the Service Provider as of the Date of Grant an Award of 5,718 performance units (the “Performance Units”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Depending on the performance of the Partnership, the Service Provider may earn from fifty percent (50%) to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Performance Units, based on the increase in the Partnership’s distributable cash flow per Common Unit (“DCF/Unit”).  
2.    Distribution Equivalent Rights.  As long as the Service Provider holds the Performance Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Service Provider shall 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 Common Units of the Partnership (“Common Units”) and, on the record date for such distribution, the Service Provider holds Performance Units that have not yet become earned and payable under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Service Provider an amount in cash equal to the distribution amounts the Service Provider would have received if the Service Provider were the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of Common Units equal to the number of such Performance Units that have not become earned and payable as of such 

US 2395053v.2

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).
3.    Nature of Award.  The Performance Units represent an Award for the “Performance Period” which begins on January 1, 2012 and ends on December 31, 2014.  Following the completion of the Performance Period, the Service Provider shall be entitled to a payment of Common Units as determined under this Section 3 and/or Section 4, as applicable, and payable in Common 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 the total increase in the Partnership’s DCF/Unit during the Performance Period over a DCF/Unit of $15.105.
(b)    Common Units Payable.  The number of Common Units payable is equal to the result of multiplying Performance Units by the “Performance Percentage” set forth below:

	
		
	3-Year Total Increase in DCF/Unit over $15.105
	Performance Percentage (%) to be Multiplied by Performance Units

	$0.000
	50%

	$1.241
	100%

	$2.548
	150%

The percentages above shall be interpolated between points.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may make a payment to the Service Provider assuming a Performance Percentage of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Performance Units instead of the Performance Percentage as determined pursuant to this Section 3(b).

4.    Early Termination.  In the event Service Provider ceases 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)    In the event that the Service Provider ceases to provide services to the Partnership and the Company:
(i)    for any reason other than voluntary separation, Cause (as defined in Section 4(c)(vii)) or a Special Involuntary Separation (as defined in Section 4(c)(vi)), 
(ii)    due to the Service Provider’s death, 

2
US 2395053v.2

(iii)    due to the Service Provider’s total and permanent disability as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion, or 
(iv)    due to the Service Provider’s retirement from any service relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries on or after attaining normal retirement age of 62 or after attaining an earlier retirement age approved by the Committee in its sole discretion, 
the number of Performance Units that shall be earned by and paid to the Service Provider or his beneficiary, in accordance with and at the time specified in Section 5, shall be determined as follows:  the Service Provider shall forfeit a percentage of the Performance Units earned equal to the percentage that the number of full months following the date of separation, death, disability or retirement to the end of the Performance Period bears to thirty-six (36).  The Committee shall determine the number of Performance Units earned by the Service Provider or his 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 the Service Provider assuming a Performance Percentage of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) 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, the Service Provider will have no right to any other Performance Units and those other Performance Units granted under this Agreement will be forfeited.  If the Service Provider separates from service 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)    In the event of a Special Involuntary Termination, as defined in Section 4(c)(vi), before the end of the Performance Period, no Performance Units shall be forfeited, and payment with respect to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Performance Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Special Involuntary Termination, but in no event later than two and one-half months after the Service Provider’s service terminates. Payment pursuant to this Section 4(b) is in lieu of payment pursuant to Section 4(a) and if the Service Provider receives payment pursuant to this Section 4(b) the Service Provider will not be entitled to any payment pursuant to Section 4(a).

In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
12.    No Right to Continued Service Relationship.

In the event of any such occurrence, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated and shall thereafter be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or some of the Common Units or rights under this Agreement may be transferred to a spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

This Agreement is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.
