ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit B.
1.2 Interpretation. Matters relating to the interpretation of this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit C.
ARTICLE II
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
2.1 Restricted Businesses. For so long as a HFC Group Member owns a controlling interest in the general partner of HEP, and except as permitted by Section 2.2, Xxxxx GP and each HFC Group Member shall be prohibited from engaging in or acquiring a controlling interest in or operating any business having assets or operations engaged in the Restricted Businesses.
2.2 Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.1 to the contrary, Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group Members may engage in the following activities under the following circumstances:
(a) | the ownership and/or operation of any of the Retained Assets (including replacements of the Retained Assets); |
(b) | any Restricted Businesses conducted by a HFC Group Member and Xxxxx GP with the approval of the General Partner; |
(c) | the ownership and/or operation of Restricted Businesses by an HFC Entity or Xxxxx GP in its capacity as general partner of HEP or its general partner; |
(d) | the ownership and/or operation of any asset or group of related assets used in the Restricted Business that are acquired or constructed by a HFC Group Member or Xxxxx GP after the Closing Date (the “Permitted Assets”), the fair market value of which (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) is as follows: |
(i) | less than $5 million at the time of such acquisition or good faith estimate of construction costs, as the case may be; or |
(ii) | equal to or greater than $5 million at the time of the acquisition or good faith estimate of construction costs; provided, HEP has been offered the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets in accordance with Section 2.3 and HEP has elected not to purchase the Permitted Assets; |
(e) | the ownership of the UNEV Profits Interest; |
(f) | the ownership of limited or any general partnership interests in HEP; and |
(g) | the ownership and/or operation of the El Paso Xxxxxxx Terminal. |
3
2.3 Right of Offer.
(a) | If Xxxxx GP or a HFC Group Member becomes aware of an opportunity to acquire Permitted Assets with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million, then, subject to Section 2.3(c), as soon as practicable, Xxxxx GP or such HFC Group Member shall notify HEP of such opportunity and deliver to HEP, or provide HEP access to all information prepared by or on behalf of, or material information submitted or delivered to, Xxxxx GP or such HFC Group Member relating to such potential transaction. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such notification and information, HEP shall notify Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member that it has either elected: |
(i) | not to cause a HEP Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets, or |
(ii) | to cause a HEP Group Member to pursue the opportunity to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which case the applicable Parties shall follow the procedures in Section 2.4. |
(b) | If, at any time, HEP abandons such opportunity (as evidenced in writing by HEP to the HFC Group Member), Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member may pursue such opportunity. Any Permitted Assets which are permitted to be acquired by Xxxxx GP or a HFC Group Member must be so acquired: |
(i) | within 12 months of the later to occur of the date that Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member becomes able to pursue such acquisition in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, and (b) the date upon which all required governmental approvals to consummate such acquisition have been obtained, and |
(ii) | on terms not materially more favorable to Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member than were offered to HEP. |
If either of these conditions are not satisfied, the opportunity must be reoffered to HEP in accordance with Section 2.3(a).
(c) | Section 2.3(a) shall not apply if Xxxxx GP or a HFC Group Member: |
(i) | becomes aware of an opportunity to make an acquisition that includes Permitted Assets and assets that are not Permitted Assets, and the Permitted Assets have a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million but comprise less than half of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) of the total assets being considered for acquisition, or |
(ii) | desires to construct Permitted Assets with an estimated construction cost (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of HFC) equal to or greater than $5 million; |
4
provided, however, that in each case Xxxxx GP or a HFC Group Member, as the case may be, shall comply with Section 2.4.
2.4 Procedure for Offering Acquired or Constructed Assets to HEP.
(a) | Within 180 days after the consummation of the acquisition or the completion of construction by Xxxxx GP or a HFC Group Member of the Permitted Assets, as the case may be, Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member shall notify HEP in writing of such acquisition or construction and offer HEP the opportunity to purchase such Permitted Assets (the “Offer”). The Offer shall set forth the terms relating to the purchase of the Permitted Assets, and, if Xxxxx GP or any HFC Group Member desires to utilize the Permitted Assets, the Offer will also include (i) the commercially reasonable terms on which the HEP Group will provide services to Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member to enable Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member to utilize the Permitted Assets and (ii) the terms of any service agreements, leases or access agreements to be provided to HEP by Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group relating to such assets. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after receipt of such written notification, HEP shall notify Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member in writing that HEP has elected (i) not to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which event Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member shall be forever free to continue to own or operate such Permitted Assets, or (ii) to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, in which event Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(c) shall apply. |
(b) | If within 60 days after receipt by HEP of the Offer, Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member and HEP are able to agree on the fair market value of the subject Permitted Assets and the other terms of the Offer including, the terms, if any, on which the HEP Group will provide services to Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member to enable it to utilize the Permitted Assets, a HEP Group Member shall purchase the Permitted Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if required by the Offer or otherwise agreed, enter into an agreement with Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer. |
(c) | If Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member and HEP are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by HEP of the Offer on the fair market value of the subject Permitted Assets and/or the other terms of the Offer, Xxxxx GP or the HFC Entity, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand, will engage a mutually agreed upon investment banking firm to determine the disputed terms. Such investment banking firm will determine the disputed terms within 30 days of its engagement and xxxxxxx Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand, its determination. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member, on the one hand, and HEP, on the other hand. Once the investment banking firm has submitted its determination of the disputed terms, HEP will have the right, but not the obligation, to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm. HEP will |
5
provide written notice of its decision to Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member within 30 days after the investment banking firm has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Permitted Assets. If HEP elects to cause a HEP Group Member to purchase the Permitted Assets, then the HEP Group Member shall purchase the Permitted Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm as soon as commercially practicable after such determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with Xxxxx GP or the HFC Group Member to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm, if applicable. |
2.5 Scope of Prohibition. Except as provided in this Article II and the Partnership Agreement, Xxxxx GP and each HFC Group Member shall be free to engage in any business activity, including those that may be in direct competition with any HEP Group Member.
2.6 Enforcement. Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group Members agree and acknowledge that the HEP Group does not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach by Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II, and that any breach by Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II would result in irreparable injury to the HEP Group. Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group Members further agree and acknowledge that any HEP Group Member may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to the HEP Group, file a suit in equity to enjoin Xxxxx GP and the HFC Group from such breach and hereby consent to the issuance of injunctive relief under this Agreement.
2.7 Limitation on Acquisitions of Permitted Assets by HEP Group Members. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a HEP Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement is prohibited from acquiring Permitted Assets. In the event HEP desires a HEP Group Member who is not a party to this Agreement to acquire any Permitted Assets, then the General Partner shall first cause such HEP Group Member to become a party to this Agreement.
2.8 Termination of Article II. The provisions of this Article II may be terminated by HFC upon a Change of Control of HFC.

(a) | EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.2(a)(vii), THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREIN SHALL NOT EXTEND TO THE PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR CLAIM CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNITEE OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. |
(b) | No statute, rule or regulation that precludes an injured party from bringing an action against a fellow employee or employer shall preclude a Party from seeking and obtaining a judicial determination of the fault or negligence of such Persons. |
(c) | Each Party shall be responsible for any insurance deductibles or self-insured retention arising out of any Liability or Claim to the extent such Liability or Claim arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of such Party, except to the extent the subrogation waiver provided for in Section 3.9 applies to such Liability or Claim. |
3.7 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) | The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a Claim for indemnification under this Article III, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim. |
(b) | 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 Article III, including, 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. |
(c) | 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 Article III, including, 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 making available to the Indemnifying Party any employees of the Indemnified Party. |
10
(d) | In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in Section 3.7(c) 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 Article III; 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. |
(e) | In connection with the indemnities in this Article III, Indemnifying Party: |
(i) | agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party; |
(ii) | agrees to enter into a joint defense agreement with Indemnifying Party in order to allow communication by counsel if Indemnified Party elects to involve separate counsel; and |
(iii) | agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.7. |
(f) | The amounts for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article III shall be reduced by the net amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to contractual indemnities from any Third Party (other than pursuant to insurance policies that are not required to include a waiver of subrogation pursuant to Section 3.9) after deducting the reasonable unreimbursed out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such amounts (the “Net Recovery”). If the Indemnified Party receives a Net Recovery subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party under this Article III, 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 Net Recovery. An Indemnified Party shall be obligated to pursue all contractual indemnities (including insurance claims) that such Indemnified Party has with any Third Party, 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, making its relevant books, records, officers, information and testimony reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party) in the Indemnifying Party’s pursuit of such claim. |
(g) | For avoidance of doubt, no Claim may be asserted pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 following the applicable expiration of the indemnity related to such Claim; provided that any Claim asserted in writing prior to the expiration date of such indemnity that is the basis for such Claim shall survive until such Claim is finally resolved and satisfied. The date on which notification of a Claim for indemnification is received by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such Claim is timely made. |

3.8 | Limitation on Indemnification Obligations. |
(a) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the HFC Entities in Article III, the definition of HFC Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (i) the HFC Entity or HFC Entities that own or operate, or owned or operated immediately prior to the transfer to the HEP Entities, the Retained Asset, Transferred Asset or other property in question with respect to which indemnification is sought by reason of such HFC Entity’s or HFC Entities’ ownership or operation of the Retained Asset, Transferred Asset or other property in question or that is responsible for causing such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the HEP Entities for which it is entitled to indemnification under Article III and (ii) HFC. |
(b) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, when referring to the indemnification obligations of the HEP Entities in Article III, the definition of HEP Entities shall be deemed to mean solely (i) the HEP Entity or HEP Entities that own or operate, or previously owned or operated, the Transferred Asset or other property in question or that is responsible for causing such loss, damage, injury, judgment, claim, cost, expense or other liability suffered or incurred by the HFC Entities for which they are entitled to indemnification under Article III, (ii) HEP and Operating Partnership. |
(c) | For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification obligations of the HFC Entities in Article III with respect to any indemnifiable losses incurred by or attributable to the UNEV Pipeline shall be (i) limited to an amount that is the product of (x) the amount of such losses, multiplied by (y) HEP UNEV’s direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in the UNEV Pipeline at the time such losses were incurred and (ii) payable to, for the benefit of and recoverable solely by HEP UNEV or any HEP Entity designated by HEP UNEV (and not by UNEV Pipeline, LLC). |
3.9 Subrogation; Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent that any of the HFC Entities or HEP Entities in fact receive full indemnification payments pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(viii) or Section 3.4(a)(iii) hereof, as the case may be, the HFC Entity or HEP Entity paying such Claim shall be subrogated to the receiving party’s rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the HFC Entities and the HEP Entities, hereby waives and releases, and shall cause their respective insurers, to waive and release, all rights against each other and any of their respective contractors, subsidiaries, consultants, agents and employees for loss or damages to any of the Transferred Assets to the extent of fire and other hazards covered by property insurance applicable to the property to which such loss or damage occurs, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance. For the purposes of this Section 3.9, all deductibles shall be considered insured losses. Without limiting the foregoing, all of the Parties’ policies of property insurance for the Transferred Assets shall be endorsed to provide a complete waiver for the benefit of the other Parties and their Affiliates of (i) any right of recovery which the insurer may have or acquire against the other Parties or any of its Affiliates, or its or their employees, officers or directors for payments made or to be made under such policies and (ii) any lien or right of subrogation which the insurer may have or acquire for payments made or to be made to any person or entity who asserts a Claim against such other Parties or any of its Affiliates, or its or their employees, officers or directors. The releases and waivers of subrogation set forth above in this paragraph shall apply notwithstanding any obligation of a Party to indemnify the other Party for the Claim(s) at issue.

ARTICLE IV
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
4.1 | General. |
(a) | The Operating Partnership will pay HFC an administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”), payable in equal quarterly installments, for the provision by HFC and its Affiliates for the HEP Group’s benefit of all the general and administrative services that HFC and its Affiliates provide, including, the general and administrative services listed on Exhibit E. |
(b) | The Administrative Fee shall be adjusted on July 1, 2018, effective as of January 1, 2018, by an amount equal to the PPI Adjustment. Thereafter, the Administrative Fee shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year, commencing on July 1, 2019, by an amount equal to the PPI Adjustment. If the PPI is no longer published, then HFC and HEP 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 Administrative Fee. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by the dispute resolution process in Article VIII. |
(c) | At the end of each year, either Party will have the right to submit to the other Party a proposal to change the Administrative Fee for that year and/or the method of adjusting the Administrative Fee if either Party believes in good faith that the general and administrative services performed by HFC and its Affiliates for the benefit of the HEP Group for the year in question are inconsistent with the Administrative Fee for that year. If either Party submits such a proposal, the Parties agree that they will negotiate in good faith to determine if the Administrative Fee for that year should be changed and, if so, the amount of such change. If the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties will submit the matter to dispute resolution pursuant to Article VIII. |
(d) | The Administrative Fee shall not include and the HEP Group shall reimburse HFC and its Affiliates for: |
(i) | salaries of employees of HFC or its Affiliates, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the HEP Group; |
(ii) | the cost of employee benefits relating to employees of HFC or its Affiliates, such as 401(k), pension, and health insurance benefits, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the HEP Group and have not been paid by HEP pursuant to the Master Site Services Agreement and the Services and Secondment Agreement; |
(iii) | any amounts payable under the Master Site Services Agreement and the Services and Secondment Agreement; |
(iv) | all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time in respect of the services provided by the HFC and its Affiliates to HEP pursuant to Section 4.1(a); and |
13
(v) | all premiums for insurance policies carried for and on behalf of HEP. |
(e) | Either HFC, on the one hand, or HEP, on the other hand, may terminate this Article IV, by providing the other with written notice of its election to do so at least six months prior to the proposed date of termination. |
ARTICLE V
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
5.1 | HFC Right of First Refusal: Prohibition on Transfer. |
(a) | The HEP Entities hereby grant to HFC a right of first refusal on any proposed Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer to another HEP Group Member) of any of the Assets. |
(b) | The HEP Entities are prohibited from Transferring any of the Assets to a HEP Group Member that is not a party to this Agreement. In the event the HEP Entities desire to Transfer any of the Assets to a HEP Group Member that is not a Party to this Agreement, they shall first cause the proposed transferee HEP Group Member to become a Party to this Agreement. |
(c) | The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of Sale Assets pursuant to this Article V are subject to obtaining any and all required written consents of governmental authorities and other third parties and to the terms of all existing agreements in respect of the Sale Assets. |
(d) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in Article V the definition of “Assets” shall not include the Tulsa Transferred Assets, the UNEV Pipeline, the Osage Pipeline or the Xxxxxxx Connect Pipeline, but shall expressly include the equity interests of UNEV Pipeline, LLC, HEP UNEV Pipeline, HEP UNEV, El Dorado Osage, Osage, HEP Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Connect then owned directly or indirectly by the HEP Entities. |
(e) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of the Orla Truck Terminal pursuant to this Article V are subject to the rights of ALON pursuant to the ALON Purchase Agreement. |
(f) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that all potential transfers of the equity interests of UNEV Pipeline, LLC, Osage and Xxxxxxx Connect are subject to the rights of the other members of UNEV Pipeline, LLC, Osage and Xxxxxxx Connect, respectively, pursuant to the applicable limited liability company operating agreement. |
5.2 | Procedures. |
(a) | If a HEP Entity proposes to Transfer any of the Assets to any Person pursuant to a bona fide third-party offer (an “Acquisition Proposal”), then HEP shall promptly give written notice (a “Disposition Notice”) thereof to HFC. The Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer: |
(i) | the name and address of the prospective acquiror (the “Proposed Transferee”); |
14
(ii) | the Assets subject to the Acquisition Proposal (the “Sale Assets”); |
(iii) | the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee (the “Offer Price”); |
(iv) | reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow HFC to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration; |
(v) | the HEP Entities’ estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration; and |
(vi) | all other material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal that are then known to the HEP Entities. |
(b) | To the extent the Acquisition Proposal consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash) the Offer Price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. In the event HFC and the HEP Entities agree as to the fair market value of any non-cash consideration, HFC will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets within 30 days of its receipt of the Disposition Notice (the “First ROFR Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Sale Assets. |
(c) | In the event (i) HFC’s determination of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by HFC within 30 days of receipt of such Disposition Notice) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by the HEP Entities in the Disposition Notice and (ii) HFC and the HEP Entities are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration within 30 days after HFC notifies the HEP Entities of its determination thereof, the HEP Entities and HFC shall engage a mutually-agreed-upon investment banking firm to determine the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. Such investment banking firm shall be instructed to return its decision within 30 days after all material information is submitted thereto, which decision shall be final. The fees of the investment banking firm will be split equally between HFC and the HEP Entities. HFC will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to the HEP Entities within 30 days after the investment banking firm has submitted its determination (the “Second ROFR Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by HFC not to purchase the Sale Assets. |
(d) | If HFC fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 5.2, HFC shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to such proposed disposition of the Sale Assets, but not with respect to any future offer of such Sale Assets. |
15
(e) | If HFC chooses to exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets under Sections 5.1(a) and 5.2(c), HFC and the HEP Entities shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Sale Assets which shall include the following terms: |
(i) | HFC will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (or any other consideration agreed to by HFC and the HEP Entities (each in their sole discretion)); |
(ii) | the HEP Entities will represent that they have good, indefeasible and unencumbered title to the Sale Assets, subject to all recorded and unrecorded matters and all physical conditions and other matters in existence on the closing date for the Sale Assets, plus any other reasonable and customary matters and such matters as HFC may approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If HFC desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the Sale Assets, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including the cost of title examination, document duplication and policy premium) shall be borne by HFC; |
(iii) | the HEP Entities will grant to HFC the right, exercisable at HFC’s risk and expense, to conduct such surveys, tests and inspections of the Sale Assets as HFC may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the Sale Assets or interfere with the activities of the HEP Entities thereon and so long as HFC has furnished the HEP Entities with evidence that adequate liability insurance is in full force and effect; |
(iv) | HFC will have the right to terminate its obligation to purchase the Sale Assets under this Article V if the results of any searches, surveys, tests or inspections conducted pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(ii) or Section 5.2(e)(iii) above are, in the reasonable opinion of HFC, unsatisfactory; |
(v) | the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets shall, unless otherwise agreed to by HFC and the HEP Entities, occur no later than 90 days following receipt by the HEP Entities of written notice by HFC of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the Sale Assets pursuant to Section 5.2(b) or (c); |
(vi) | the HEP Entities shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to HFC a special warranty deed, assignment of easement, or comparable document, as appropriate, in the applicable jurisdiction, on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets constituting real property interests conveying the Sale Assets unto HFC free and clear of all encumbrances created by the HEP Entities other than those set forth in Section 5.2(e)(ii) above; |
(vii) | the sale of any Sale Assets shall be made on an “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, and the instruments conveying such Sale Assets shall contain appropriate disclaimers; and |
16
(viii) | neither the HEP Entities nor HFC shall have any obligation to sell or buy the Sale Assets if any of the material consents referred to in Section 5.1(c) have not been obtained or such sale or purchase is prohibited by Applicable Law. |
(f) | HFC and the HEP Entities shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other Third Party approvals, waivers and consents required for the closing. Any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent required, until the third Business Day following the expiration of any required waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; provided, however, that such delay shall not exceed 120 days and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or expired, as the case may be, by such 120th day, then HFC shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal with respect to the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice and thereafter neither HFC nor HEP shall have any further obligation under this Article V with respect to such Sale Assets unless such Sale Assets again become subject to this Article V pursuant to Section 5.2(g). |
(g) | If the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Proposal within the later of (i) 180 days after the later of the applicable ROFR Acceptance Deadline, and (ii) 10 days after the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to lapse, and the HEP Entities may not Transfer any of the Sale Assets described in the Disposition Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article V if and to the extent then applicable. |
ARTICLE VI
HFC PURCHASE OPTION
6.1 Option to Purchase Tulsa Transferred Assets. The Parties acknowledge the purchase options and right of first refusal granted to an Affiliate of HFC with respect to the Tulsa Transferred Assets in the Purchase Option Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
[Intentionally Omitted]
ARTICLE VIII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
8.1 Dispute Resolution.
(a) | Any Arbitrable Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement, shall be exclusively resolved in accordance with this Article VIII. |
(b) | In the event of a Arbitrable Dispute between an HFC Entity and an HEP Entity, the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall, within ten (10) days of a written request by either of them to the other, meet in good faith to resolve such Arbitrable Dispute in a meeting that includes individuals with authority to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute at such meeting. |
17
(c) | If the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity are unable to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute within ten (10) days after submission of such Arbitrable Dispute as provided in Section 8.1(b), either the HFC Entity or the HEP Entity may submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 8.2 below. |
(d) | Pending resolution of any Arbitrable Dispute between the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity, the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall continue to perform in good faith their respective obligations under this Agreement based upon the last agreed performance demonstrated prior to the Arbitrable Dispute. |
(e) | Resolution of any Arbitrable Dispute between the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity involving payment of money by either the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity to the other shall include payment of interest at the Prime Rate from the original due date of such amount. |
(f) | Each of the HFC Entity and the HEP Entity shall, in addition to all rights provided herein or provided by Law, be entitled to the remedies of specific performance and injunction to enforce its rights hereunder. |
8.2 Arbitration. 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, as amended from time to time).
(a) | Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by either party (“Claimant”) by delivering written notice to the other (“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. |
(b) | The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The parties 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 Claimant and Respondent. |
(c) | 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 Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. |
18
(d) | All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of the Parties or any of their Affiliates and who have not provided consulting services (directly or indirectly) for at least three (3) years prior to their appointment and (ii) have at least seven (7) years’ experience in the petroleum transportation industry. |
(e) | The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind. |
(f) | The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between the Claimant and Respondent to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Claimant and Respondent, no unrelated disputes (including those with Affiliates of either Claimant or Respondent) or Third Party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement. |
8.3 Conflict. If there is any inconsistency between this Article VIII and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Article VIII will control the rights and obligations of the parties seeking arbitration.
ARTICLE IX
FORCE MAJEURE
9.1 Force Majeure. In the event of any Party being rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event from performing its obligations under any of the Master Agreements, Services and Secondment Agreement or 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 relied on (“Force Majeure Notice”) to the other affected Party(ies), the obligations of the Parties, so far are they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall, as 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.
ARTICLE X

10.9 Rights of Limited Partners. The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties to this Agreement, and no Limited Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of HEP shall have the right, separate and apart from HEP, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to this Agreement to comply with the terms of this Agreement. There are no Third Party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
10.10 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.
10.11 Limitation of Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES WHICH SHALL NOT BE LIMITED BY THIS SECTION, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE RECOVERY BY ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE III, OF ANY LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES (i) AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE EVENTS, CONDITIONS OR OTHER MATTERS LISTED IN SECTIONS 3.2 OR 3.4 WHICH THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY AGAINST, 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, 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 TO A PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY:
(X) AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
21
(Y) FOR CLAIMS THAT ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE AND ANY RELATED DEDUCTIBLES, OR
(Z) FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LIABILITIES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE) THAT ARE A RESULT OF SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
As used in this Section 10.11, “Affiliates” of the Indemnifying Party shall not include the HEP Group Members when a HFC Entity is the Indemnifying Party and shall not include the HFC Group Members when the Indemnifying Party is a HEP Entity.
