Section 2. Agreement to Use Services Relating to Pipelines, Tankage and Loading rack.
The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which sets forth revenues to HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa to be paid by Xxxxx Tulsa and requires HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa to provide certain transportation, storage and loading services to Xxxxx Tulsa. The principal objective of HEP Tulsa is for Xxxxx Tulsa to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, and to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment. The principal objective of HEP Storage-Tulsa is for Xxxxx Tulsa to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment and to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Commitment. The principal objective of Xxxxx Tulsa is for HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa to provide services to Xxxxx Tulsa in a manner that enables Xxxxx Tulsa to operate the Refinery.
(a) Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Xxxxx Tulsa agrees as follows:
(i) Subject to Section 4, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay HEP Tulsa throughput fees associated with the Pipelines that will satisfy the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment in exchange for HEP Tulsa providing Xxxxx Tulsa a minimum of 60,000 barrels per day of aggregate capacity in the Pipelines. The “Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment” shall be an amount of revenue to HEP Tulsa for each Contract Quarter determined by multiplying the Minimum Pipeline Throughput by the Pipeline Tariff as such Pipeline Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or Section 2(q)(i). Xxxxx Tulsa will pay HEP Tulsa the Pipeline Tariff for all quantities of Refined Products shipped on the Pipelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Closing Date for the Pipeline is any date other than the first day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment for the initial Contract Quarter shall be prorated based upon the number of days actually in such contract quarter and the initial Contract Quarter.
(ii) The Pipeline Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year commencing on July 1, 2011, by an amount equal to the upper change in the annual change rounded to four decimal places of the Producers Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods, (PPI), et al. (“PPI”), produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Labor Statistics; provided that the Pipeline Tariff shall never be increased by more than 3% for any such calendar year. The series ID is WPUSOP3000 as of September 7, 2009 – located at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx/. The change factor shall be calculated as follows: annual PPI index (most current year) less annual PPI index (most current year minus 1) divided by annual PPI index (most current year minus 1). An example for year 2009 change is: [PPI (2008) – PPI (2007)] / PPI (2007) or (177.1 – 166.6) / 166.6 or .063 or 6.3%. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the Pipeline Tariff. If the above index is no longer published, then Xxxxx Tulsa and HEP Tulsa shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Pipeline Tariff. If Xxxxx Tulsa and HEP Tulsa are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(e), and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Pipeline Tariff. To evidence the Parties’ agreement to each adjusted Pipeline Tariff, the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule I and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule I shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Schedule I-1, Schedule I-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional schedule to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Schedule I in its entirety.
(iii) If Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to transport on the Pipelines the volumes of Refined Products required to meet the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment as a result of HEP Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing, or the inability to provide sufficient capacity for the Minimum Pipeline Throughput, then the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment applicable to the Contract Quarter during which Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to transport such volumes of Refined Products will be reduced by an amount equal to: (A) the volume of Refined Products that Xxxxx Tulsa was unable to transport on the Pipelines (but not to exceed the Minimum Pipeline Throughput), as a result of HEP Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide sufficient capacity on the Pipelines to achieve the Minimum Pipeline Throughput, multiplied by (B) the Pipeline Tariff. This Section 2(a)(iii) shall not apply in the event HEP Tulsa gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with Section 4, in which case the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment shall be suspended in accordance with and as provided in Section 4.

(ii) Group 1 Tankage throughput shall be determined by the sum of Refined Products shipped on the Pipelines and loaded at the Group 1 Loading Rack. If the average throughput for any Contract Quarter exceeds the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Throughput attributable to such Contract Quarter then, (i) for each throughput barrel in excess of the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Throughput but less than or equal to the Group 1 Tankage Excess Throughput, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay HEP Tulsa throughput fees in the amount of the Group 1 Tankage Incentive Tariff as such amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) or Section 2(q)(i) and (ii) for each throughput barrel in excess of the Group 1 Tankage Excess Throughput, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay HEP Tulsa throughput fees in the amount of the Group 1 Tankage Excess Tariff as such amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii).

Xxxxx Tulsa will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any reduction in revenues or throughput obligations under this Agreement that would result from such a shut down or reconfiguration.
(i) Group 1 Assets. If Xxxxx Tulsa shuts down or reconfigures the Refinery or any portion of the Refinery (excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) and reasonably believes in good faith that such shut down or reconfiguration will jeopardize its ability to satisfy its Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or reconfiguration, Xxxxx Tulsa shall (A) propose a new Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, as applicable, such that the ratio of the new Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment, as the case may be, under this Agreement over the anticipated production level following the shut down or reconfiguration will be approximately equal to the ratio of the original Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the original production level and (B) propose the date on which the new Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Tulsa within 60 days of receipt by HEP Tulsa of such proposal, such new Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall become effective as of the date proposed by Xxxxx Tulsa. To the extent that HEP Tulsa does not agree with Xxxxx Tulsa’s proposal, any changes in Xxxxx Tulsa’s obligations under this Agreement, or the date on which such changes will take effect, will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(e). Any applicable exhibit or schedule to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any change in the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement agreed to in accordance with this Section 4(a).
(ii) Group 2 Assets. If Xxxxx Tulsa shuts down or reconfigures the Refinery or any portion of the Refinery (excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) and reasonably believes in good faith that such shut down or reconfiguration will jeopardize its ability to satisfy its Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or reconfiguration, Xxxxx Tulsa shall (A) propose a new Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, as applicable, such that the ratio of the new Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment, as the case may be, under this Agreement over the anticipated production level following the shut down or reconfiguration will be approximately equal to the ratio of the original Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the original production level and (B) propose the date on which the new Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Storage-Tulsa within 60 days of receipt by HEP Storage-Tulsa of such proposal, such new Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall become effective as of the date proposed by Xxxxx Tulsa. To the extent that HEP Storage-Tulsa does not agree with Xxxxx Tulsa’s proposal, any changes in Xxxxx Tulsa’s obligations under this Agreement, or the date on which such changes will take effect, will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(e). Any applicable exhibit or schedule to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any change in the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment under this Agreement agreed to in accordance with this Section 4(a).
(iii) Interconnecting Pipelines. If Xxxxx Tulsa shuts down or reconfigures the Refinery or the Tulsa West Refinery or any portion of the Refinery or the Tulsa West Refinery (excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) and reasonably believes in good faith that such shut down or reconfiguration will jeopardize its ability to satisfy its Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or reconfiguration, Xxxxx Tulsa shall (A) propose a new Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, as applicable, such that the ratio of the new Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the anticipated production level following the shut down or reconfiguration will be approximately equal to the ratio of the original Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the original production level and (B) propose the date on which the new Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Tulsa within 60 days of receipt by HEP Tulsa of such proposal, such new Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall become effective as of the date proposed by Xxxxx Tulsa. To the extent that HEP Tulsa does not agree with Xxxxx Tulsa’s proposal, any changes in Xxxxx Tulsa’s obligations under this Agreement, or the date on which such changes will take effect, will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(e). Any applicable exhibit or schedule to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any change in the Minimum Interconnecting Pipeline Revenue Commitment under this Agreement agreed to in accordance with this Section 4(a).
(b) In the event that any Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event from performing its obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, then, upon the delivery of notice and full particulars of the Force Majeure event in writing within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the Force Majeure event relied on (“Force Majeure Notice”), the obligations of the Parties, so far as they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be suspended for the duration of any inability so caused. Any suspension of the obligations of the Parties as a result of this Section 4(b) shall extend the Term (to the extent so affected) for a period equivalent to the duration of the inability set forth in the Force Majeure Notice. Xxxxx Tulsa will be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. In the event a Force Majeure event prevents HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa or Xxxxx Tulsa from performing substantially all of their respective obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than one (1) year, this Agreement may be terminated by HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa, or Xxxxx Tulsa, by providing written notice thereof to the other Parties.

(a) In the event that Xxxxx Tulsa provides prior written notice to HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa of the desire of Xxxxx Tulsa to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement, but, if such negotiations fail to produce a written mutual agreement for extension by a date six months prior to the termination date, then HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more pipelines, tankage and loading agreements with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination; provided, however, that until the end of one year following termination without renewal of this Agreement, Xxxxx Tulsa will have the right to enter into a new pipelines, tankage and loading agreement with HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, propose to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Group 1 Assets or the Group 2 Assets or the Interconnecting Pipelines. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, shall give Xxxxx Tulsa forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new pipelines, tankage and loading agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform Xxxxx Tulsa of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and Xxxxx Tulsa shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Xxxxx Tulsa shall lose the rights specified by this Section 7(a) with respect to the assets that are the subject of such notice.
(b) In the event that Xxxxx Tulsa fails to provide prior written notice to HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa of the desire of Xxxxx Tulsa to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 6, HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa shall have the right, during the period from the date of Xxxxx Tulsa’s failure to provide written notice pursuant to Section 6 to the date of termination of this Agreement, to negotiate to enter into a new pipelines, tankage and loading agreement with a third party; provided, however, that at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term, Xxxxx Tulsa will have the right to enter into a new pipelines, tankage and loading agreement with HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, propose to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Group 1 Assets or the Group 2 Assets or the Interconnecting Pipelines. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, shall give Xxxxx Tulsa forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new pipelines, tankage and loading agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform Xxxxx Tulsa of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and Xxxxx Tulsa shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Xxxxx Tulsa shall lose the rights specified by this Section 7(b) with respect to the assets that are the subject of such notice.

(i) HEP Tulsa shall deliver to Xxxxx Tulsa a written notice (the “Group 1 Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of Xxxxx Tulsa to meet its obligations under Section 2(a)(i), Section 2(b)(i), or Section 2(c)(i); provided, however, that Xxxxx Tulsa’s obligations pursuant to the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, and the Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment shall, in each case, be assessed on a quarterly basis for the purposes of this Section 9. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, any deficiency owed by Xxxxx Tulsa due to its failure to satisfy the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment in any Contract Quarter shall be offset by any revenue owed to HEP Tulsa in excess of the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment for such Contract Quarter. The Group 1 Deficiency Notice shall (A) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any deficiency and (B) specify the approximate dollar amount that HEP Tulsa believes would have been paid by Xxxxx Tulsa to HEP Tulsa if Xxxxx Tulsa had complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), Section 2(b)(i), or Section 2(c)(i), as applicable (the “Group 1 Deficiency Payment”). Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay the Group 1 Deficiency Payment to HEP Tulsa upon the later of: (1) ten (10) days after their receipt of the Group 1 Deficiency Notice and (2) thirty (30) days following the end of the related Contract Quarter.
(ii) HEP Storage-Tulsa shall deliver to Xxxxx Tulsa a written notice (the “Group 2 Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of Xxxxx Tulsa to meet its obligations under Section 2(d)(i) or Section 2(e)(i); provided, however, that Xxxxx Tulsa’s obligations pursuant to the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment and Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment shall, in each case, be assessed on a quarterly basis for the purposes of this Section 9. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, any deficiency owed by Xxxxx Tulsa due to its failure to satisfy the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment in any Contract Quarter shall be offset by any revenue owed to HEP Storage-Tulsa in excess of the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment for such Contract Quarter. The Group 2 Deficiency Notice shall (A) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any deficiency and (B) specify the approximate dollar amount that HEP Storage-Tulsa believes would have been paid by Xxxxx Tulsa to HEP Storage-Tulsa if Xxxxx Tulsa had complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or Section 2(e)(i), as applicable (the “Group 2 Deficiency Payment”). Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay the Group 2 Deficiency Payment to HEP Storage-Tulsa upon the later of: (1) ten (10) days after their receipt of the Group 2 Deficiency Notice and (2) thirty (30) days following the end of the related Contract Quarter.

Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay the Interconnecting Pipeline Deficiency Payment to HEP Tulsa upon the later of: (1) ten (10) days after their receipt of the Interconnecting Pipeline Deficiency Notice and (2) thirty (30) days following the end of the related Contract Quarter.
(b) If Xxxxx Tulsa disagrees with any Group 1 Deficiency Notice or Group 2 Deficiency Notice or Interconnecting Pipeline Deficiency Notice (the “Disputed Deficiency Notice”), then, following the payment of the undisputed portion of the deficiency payment related to the Disputed Deficiency Notice (the “Disputed Deficiency Payment”) to HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, if any, Xxxxx Tulsa shall send written notice thereof regarding the disputed portion of the Disputed Deficiency Notice to HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, and a senior officer of Xxxxx (on behalf of Xxxxx Tulsa) and a senior officer of the Partnership (on behalf of HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa) shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary and shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to matters specified in the Disputed Deficiency Notice. During the 30-day period following the payment of the Disputed Deficiency Payment, Xxxxx Tulsa shall have access to the working papers of HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, relating to the Disputed Deficiency Notice. If such differences are not resolved within thirty (30) days following Xxxxx Tulsa’s receipt of the Disputed Deficiency Notice, Xxxxx Tulsa, on the one hand, and HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa, on the other hand, shall, within forty-five (45) days following Xxxxx Tulsa’s receipt of the Disputed Deficiency Notice, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Disputed Deficiency Notice to arbitration in accordance with Section 13(e).

Section 10. Indemnification
(a) Environmental Indemnification
(i) Indemnification of HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa.

(ii) Burden of Proof for Tank Claims. To the extent that a good faith claim by HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa or their Related Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 10(a)(i)(A) or Section 10(a)(i)(B) arises from events or conditions at the tanks included in the HEP Purchased Assets or the soil immediately underneath such tanks or such tanks’ secondary containment, and Xxxxx Tulsa refuses to provide such indemnification, then the burden of proof shall be on Xxxxx Tulsa to demonstrate that the events or conditions giving rise to the claim arose after the Closing Date applicable to the assets to which such claims relate.
(iii) Indemnification of Xxxxx Tulsa. HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Xxxxx Tulsa and its Related Indemnified Parties from and against environmental and Toxic Tort losses (including, without limitation, economic losses, diminution in value and lost profits suffered by third parties), damages, injuries (including, without limitation, personal injury and death), liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s and expert’s fees) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suffered or incurred by Xxxxx Tulsa and its Related Indemnified Parties or any third party to the extent arising out of:
(A) any violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws associated with the operation of the HEP Purchased Assets by a Person other than a Xxxxx Entity or ownership and operation of the HEP Purchased Assets by a Person other than a Xxxxx Entity, or

but only, in the case of the Group 1 Assets and the Group 2 Assets, to the extent such violation complained of under Section 10(a)(iii)(A) or such events or conditions included under Section 10(a)(iii)(B) occurred after the Closing Date applicable to the assets to which such violation, event or condition relate; provided, however, that nothing stated above shall make HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa responsible for any post-Closing Date negligent actions or omissions or willful misconduct by Xxxxx Tulsa or its Affiliates.
(b) Indemnification Procedures.
(i) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.
(iii) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10(b). In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.
(iv) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities (other than insurance policies) from third Persons. An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to pursue all contractual indemnities that such Indemnified Party has with third Persons outside of this Agreement, provided, however, if the Indemnified Party’s right to such indemnification is assignable, the Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of pursuing such claim, elect to assign such indemnification claim to the Indemnifying Party to pursue and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (including, without limitation, making its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Party’s pursuit of such claim. In the event the Indemnified Party recovers under a contractual indemnity from a third Person outside of this Agreement, the amount recovered, less the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts, shall reduce the amount such Indemnified Party may recover under this Agreement and if the Indemnified Party receives any such amounts subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such losses, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount so received by the Indemnified Party.
(v) The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.
(c) Survival of Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement (including any termination following the sale of the HEP Purchased Assets).
Section 11. Right of First Refusal. The Parties acknowledge the right of first refusal of Xxxxx Tulsa with respect to the Pipelines, the Interconnecting Pipelines, Group 1 Tankage, Group 2 Tankage, Group 2 Loading Rack and Group 1 Loading Rack provided in the Omnibus Agreement.
Section 12. Limitation of Damages.
(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES WHICH SHALL NOT BE LIMITED BY THIS PARAGRAPH, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE RECOVERY BY ANY PARTY OF ANY LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL ANY PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY ANY PARTY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RESTRICTION AND LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY (x) AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR (y) TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE) THAT ARE A RESULT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE BREACHING OR NONFULFILLING PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and solely for the purpose of determining which of Xxxxx Tulsa, HEP Tulsa, or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, shall be liable in a particular circumstance, no Party shall be liable to another Party for any loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by such Party (the “Damaged Party”) except to the extent that the Party causes such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the Damaged Party or owns or operates the Pipelines, Group 1 Tankage, Group 2 Tankage, Group 2 Loading Rack or Group 1 Loading Rack or other property in question responsible for causing such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the Damaged Party.

(b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, Xxxxx Tulsa, HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned without the prior written consent of Xxxxx Tulsa (in the case of any assignment by HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa) or HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa (in the case of any assignment by Xxxxx Tulsa), in each case, such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (i) HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa may make such an assignment (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa without Xxxxx Tulsa’s consent, (ii) Xxxxx Tulsa may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial assignment) to an Affiliate of Xxxxx Tulsa without HEP Tulsa’s or HEP Storage-Tulsa’s consent, (iii) Xxxxx Tulsa may make a collateral assignment of their rights and obligations hereunder, and (iv) HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa may make a collateral assignment of their rights hereunder and/or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Pipelines, Interconnecting Pipelines, Group 1 Tankage, Group 2 Tankage, Group 2 Loading Rack and Group 1 Loading Rack to a bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them, without Xxxxx Tulsa’s consent, if such third party lender, debt holder or trustee shall have executed and delivered to Xxxxx Tulsa a non-disturbance agreement in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxx Tulsa and such third party lender, debt holder or trustee and Xxxxx Tulsa executes an acknowledgement of such collateral assignment in such form as may from time to time be reasonably requested. Any attempt to make an assignment otherwise than as permitted by the foregoing shall be null and void. The Parties agree to require their respective successors, if any, to expressly assume, in a form of agreement reasonably acceptable to the other Parties, their obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(d) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
(e) Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 13(e) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 13(e) will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of Xxxxx Tulsa, HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the petroleum transportation industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Xxxxx Tulsa, HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind. The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Xxxxx Tulsa, HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Rights of Limited Partners. The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no limited partner of the Partnership shall have the right, separate and apart from the Partnership, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
(g) Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.
(h) Headings. Headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever. All references in this Agreement to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.
(i) No Novation. This Agreement shall be considered an amendment and restatement of the First Amended Tulsa East Throughput Agreement, and the First Amended Tulsa East Throughput Agreement is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in every respect, except as amended hereby. This Agreement is not intended to constitute a novation of the First Amended Tulsa East Throughput Agreement and all of the obligations owing by the Parties under the First Amended Tulsa East Throughput Agreement shall continue (from and after the date of this Agreement, as amended hereby).
