THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made this 29th day of March, 2019, by PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of BANK OF HAWAII, a Hawaii corporation (“Bank”) whose address is X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000-0000.
1.Payment Guaranty. As an inducement to Bank to make a Loan (as defined below) to PAR PACIFIC HAWAII PROPERTY COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and as specifically required by Bank, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guaranties (both jointly and severally with other guarantors, if any) pursuant to this Guaranty to Bank the punctual and complete payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the following; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations (as hereinafter defined) with respect to Guarantor: (a) all present and future indebtedness evidenced by the promissory note dated March 29, 2019 (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $45,000,000.00 (which evidences a term loan “Loan”), executed by Borrower in favor of Bank including principal, interest and all other amounts payable under the terms of the Note (the “Loan Indebtedness”); (b) any and all payment obligations under all other documents now or hereafter evidencing or securing the Loan Indebtedness, including, without limitation, a Loan Agreement made by and between Bank and Borrower and governing the Loan (the “Loan Agreement”); and (c) any and all payment obligations under that certain swap transaction (the “Swap”) with Bank (collectively the “Swap Obligations”), if any, evidenced and governed by an ISDA Master Agreement and schedule thereto and confirmations thereunder between Bank and Borrower (the “ISDA Master Agreement”) and all other instruments and documents made by Borrower or others related to the Swap, including, without limitation, a confirmation between Bank and Borrower with respect to a notional amount of $45,000,000.00, that shall form a part of and be subject to the ISDA Master Agreement; and (d) any and all obligations under all other documents now or hereafter securing the Loan Indebtedness and/or the Swap Obligations, including, without limitation, the First Mortgage, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower in favor of Bank. For convenience, any and all documents evidencing or securing the Loan evidenced by the Note, as such documents shall be amended from time to time, are herein collectively called the “Loan Documents”. Any and all documents evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Swap (including, without limitation, the ISDA Master Agreement), as such documents shall be amended from time to time are herein collectively called the “Swap Documents”. The term “Obligations” shall collectively mean all obligations with respect to the Loan Indebtedness pursuant to the Loan Documents and all obligations with respect to the Swap Obligations pursuant to the Swap Documents; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, “Obligations” of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to Guarantor. Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Guaranty shall have the same meanings as provided in the Loan Agreement. In each case such Obligations may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, renewed and extended, whether evidenced by new or additional documents or resulting in a change in the interest rate on any Loan Indebtedness or otherwise.
“Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee of such Swap Obligation by Guarantor of, or the grant by Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act (as defined below) or any rule, regulation or order of the
1637402_8
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodities Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder (after giving effect to any and all guarantees of Guarantor’s Swap Obligations by other Persons) at the time the Guarantee of Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under an ISDA Master Agreement governing more than one Swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to the Swap for which such Guarantee or security interest becomes illegal.
“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.
2. Waivers. Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, demand for payment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to Borrower, nonpayment at maturity and indulgences and notices of every kind (except for notices required under the provisions of the Loan Documents or Hawaii law), as well as all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.
3. Consents. Guarantor consents to and agrees that the obligations of Guarantor shall not be released, impaired or otherwise affected by:
(a) Any and all forbearances and extensions of the time of payment (including multiple extensions for longer than the original period) or for Borrower’s performance of any other obligation to be performed by Borrower under any of the Loan Documents or Swap Documents;
(b) Any and all changes in the terms, covenants and conditions in any of the Loan Documents or Swap Documents, hereafter made or granted;
(c) The application by Bank of all payments on account of the Obligations, from any source, in any manner deemed to be in the best interest of Bank, including the application of payments on a “last-in-first-out basis” and the application of payments to any Obligations incurred after termination of this Guaranty prior to application of payments to Obligations guaranteed by this Guaranty;
(d) Bank’s failure to obtain or perfect or foreclose its lien on or security interest in any collateral that Guarantor anticipated that Bank would obtain;
(e) Any and all substitutions, exchanges or releases of all or any part of the security for the payment of the Obligations;
(f) Any failure of Bank to make collection from Borrower or any other person or entity;
(g) Waivers of any of the terms, covenants or conditions set forth in any of the Loan Documents or Swap Documents, including this Guaranty;
(h) Any election or elections by Bank to pursue or enforce or to forbear from pursuing or enforcing any particular right or remedy against Borrower or other guarantors or any collateral;
(i) Any defense (except for the defense of payment), counterclaim, setoff or crossclaim, or any defense (legal or equitable) including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty,

1637402_8
fraud, payment, statute of frauds, bankruptcy, lack of legal capacity, statute of limitations, lender liability, accord and satisfaction, and usury, which Borrower has or could assert with respect to the Obligations; and
(j) Any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing; it is the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal for the payment of the Obligations until the Obligations shall have been fully paid, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor, subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof.
4. Other Security. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect the liens or priority of the Loan Documents and the Swap Documents. This Guaranty may be enforced by Bank without first resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without first having recourse to any of the Loan Documents and/or the Swap Documents or any of the property covered by any mortgage or other security instrument, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, and without first or concurrently proceeding against Borrower or any other person or entity. However, nothing shall prevent Bank from suing on the Loan Documents and/or the Swap Documents, with or without making Guarantor a party to the suit or foreclosing on any security and if such suit, foreclosure or other remedy is availed of only the net proceeds therefrom, after deduction of all charges and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever, shall be applied in reduction of the Obligations and Bank shall not be required to institute or prosecute proceedings to recover any deficiency as a condition of payment hereunder or enforcement hereof. At any sale of the security or collateral for the Obligations or any part thereof whether by foreclosure or otherwise, Bank may at its discretion purchase all or any part of such collateral so sold or offered for sale for its own account and may apply against the amount bid therefor an equal amount out of the balance due to it pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and/or the Swap Documents.
5. Bankruptcy. Guarantor’s obligations to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other similar statute. Upon the commencement of any proceeding or the taking of any action by or against Borrower for any relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws for the protection of debtors (a “Bankruptcy Action”), the Obligations shall immediately and without any notice from or other action by Bank become immediately due and payable by Guarantor, subject to the terms of this Guaranty, regardless of the effect of the Bankruptcy Action on the ability of Bank to require Borrower to immediately pay the Obligations in full.
6. Subordination of Indemnification and Subrogation Rights. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder, so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor will not assert or exercise any right of Bank or of Guarantor against Borrower to recover the amount of any payment made by Guarantor to Bank by way of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnity, or otherwise arising by contract or operation of law. So long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of Borrower, and Guarantor’s rights against Borrower shall be fully subordinate to the Obligations and Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents and the Swap Documents. So long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor agrees not to seek contribution or indemnity or other recourse from any other guarantor under any other guaranty of the Obligations.
7. Information About Borrower. Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed of the financial condition of Borrower, Borrower’s incurring of the Obligations to Bank, and all other circumstances affecting Borrower’s obligations to Bank or Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations to Bank, on a continuing basis. Guarantor agrees that Bank has no duty to report to Guarantor any information

Guarantor further agrees that, as long as any of the Obligations remains outstanding, Bank shall have the continuing right to obtain credit and bank reports on Guarantor without further authorization from Guarantor, which such credit report information may be disclosed by Bank to third-parties in connection with any contemplated sale of or participation in the Obligations. Bank agrees to require any such third party to execute and deliver to Bank a confidentiality agreement on Bank’s standard form pursuant to which all such information shall be treated as strictly confidential (except as may be required to be disclosed by law, court, or governmental authority).
