Section 2. Agreement to Use Services Relating to Pipelines, Tankage and Loading

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

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

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”

First Amended and Restated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
8
determined by
multiplying the Minimum Pipeline Throughput by the Pipeline Tariff as
such Pipeline Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii). 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

Commitment” shall be an amount of revenue to HEP Tulsa for each Contract Quarter
determined by multiplying the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Throughput by the Group 1 Tankage Base
Tariff as such Group 1 Tankage Base Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section
2(b)(iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Closing Date for the
Group 1 Tankage is any date other than the first day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum
Group 1 Tankage 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.
Subject to (i) any Applicable Law and (ii) technical specifications of the Group 1 Tankage,
Xxxxx Tulsa may request that HEP Tulsa change the service of any of the Group 1 Tankage from

Xxxxx Tulsa shall indemnify and hold HEP Tulsa harmless from and against all costs and
expenses associated with any such changing of service including but not limited to costs of
complying with any Applicable Law affecting such change of service.
(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) and (ii) for each

Schedule II in its entirety.
(iv) If Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to deliver to the Group 1 Tankage the volumes of Refined
Products required to meet the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment as a result of HEP
Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or the inability to provide sufficient
capacity, then the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment applicable to the Contract
Quarter during which Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to deliver 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 deliver to the Tankage (but not to exceed the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Throughput),
as a result of HEP Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide
sufficient capacity to achieve the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Throughput, multiplied by (B) the
Group 1 Tankage Base Tariff. This Section 2(b)(iv) 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 Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment shall be suspended in accordance with
and as provided in Section 4.

Loading Rack Revenue Commitment” shall be an amount of revenue to HEP Tulsa for each
Contract Quarter determined by multiplying the Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Throughput by
the Group 1 Loading Rack Tariff as such Group 1 Loading Rack Tariff may be revised pursuant
to Section 2(c)(ii). Xxxxx Tulsa will pay HEP Tulsa the Group 1 Loading Rack Tariff
for all quantities of Products loaded at the Group 1 Loading Rack. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Closing Date for the Group 1 Loading Rack is any date other

commencing on July 1, 2011, by an amount equal to the upper change in the annual change
rounded to four decimal places of the PPI following the same procedure as set forth in
Section 2(a)(ii) above (including the provisions regarding binding arbitration);
provided that the Group 1 Loading Rack Tariff shall never be increased by more than 3% for

Date for the Group 2 Tankage is any date other than the first day of a Contract Quarter,
then the Minimum Group 2 Tankage 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. Subject to (i) any Applicable Law and (ii) technical specifications of
the Group 2 Tankage, Xxxxx Tulsa may request that HEP Storage-Tulsa change the service of
any of the Group 2 Tankage from storage of Crude Oil or a Product to storage of Crude Oil or
a different Product; provided, however, that Xxxxx Tulsa shall indemnify and hold
HEP Storage-Tulsa harmless from and against all costs and expenses associated with any such
changing of service including but not limited to costs of complying with any Applicable Law
affecting such change of service.
(ii) Group 2 Tankage Throughput shall be determined by the sum of pipeline quantities
of Crude Oil and Intermediate Products received at the Refinery, including Crude Oil and
Intermediate Products received at the Refinery from the Tulsa West Refinery. If the average
throughput for any Contract Quarter exceeds the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Throughput
attributable to such Contract Quarter then, (i) for each
First Amended and Restated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
12
throughput barrel in excess of the
Minimum Group 2 Tankage Throughput but less than or equal to the Group 2 Tankage Excess
Throughput, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay HEP Storage-Tulsa throughput fees in the amount of the
Group 2 Tankage Incentive Tariff as such
amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) and (ii) for each
throughput barrel in excess of the Group 2 Tankage Excess Throughput, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay
HEP Storage-Tulsa throughput fees in the amount of the Group 2 Tankage Excess Tariff as such
amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii).
(iii) The Group 2 Tankage Base Tariff, Group 2 Tankage Incentive Tariff, and Group 2
Tankage Excess Tariff shall each 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 PPI following the same procedure as set forth in Section
2(a)(ii) above (including the provisions regarding binding arbitration); provided that
the Group 2 Tankage Base Tariff, Group 2 Tankage Incentive Tariff, and Group 2 Tankage
Excess Tariff shall never be increased by more than 3% for any such calendar year. To
evidence the Parties’ agreement to each adjusted Group 2 Tankage Base Tariff, Group 2
Tankage Incentive Tariff, and Group 2 Tankage Excess Tariff, the Parties shall execute an
amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule V and attach it to this Agreement.
Such amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule V shall be sequentially numbered
(e.g. Schedule V-1, Schedule V-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional
schedule to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Schedule V in its
entirety.
(iv) If Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to deliver to the Group 2 Tankage the volumes of Crude
Oil and Intermediate Products required to meet the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue
Commitment as a result of HEP Storage-Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or the
inability to provide sufficient capacity, then the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue
Commitment applicable to the Contract Quarter during which Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to deliver
such volumes of Crude Oil and Intermediate Products will be reduced by an amount equal to:
(A) the volume of Crude Oil and Intermediate Products that Xxxxx Tulsa was unable to deliver
to the Tankage (but not to exceed the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Throughput), as a result of
HEP Storage-Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide
sufficient capacity to achieve the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Throughput, multiplied by (B) the
Group 2 Tankage Base Tariff. This Section 2(d)(iv)shall not apply in the event HEP
Storage-Tulsa gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with Section 4, in
which case the Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue Commitment shall be suspended in accordance
with and as provided in Section 4.
(e) Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment.
(i) Subject to Section 4, Xxxxx Tulsa shall pay HEP Storage-Tulsa throughput
fees associated with the Group 2 Loading Rack that will satisfy the Minimum Group 2 Loading
rack Revenue Commitment in exchange for HEP Storage-Tulsa providing Xxxxx Tulsa a minimum of
1,800 barrels per day of aggregate capacity at the Group 2 Loading Rack. The “Minimum
Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment” shall be an amount of revenue to HEP
Storage-Tulsa for each Contract Quarter determined by multiplying
First Amended and Restated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
13
the Minimum Group 2
Loading Rack Throughput by the Group 2 Loading Rack Tariff as such Group 2 Loading Rack
Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii)(e)(ii). Xxxxx Tulsa will pay HEP
Storage-Tulsa the Group 2 Loading Rack Tariff for all
quantities of Products loaded at the Group 2 Loading Rack. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Closing Date for the Group 2 Tankage is any date other than
the first day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack 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 Group 2 Loading Rack 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 PPI following the same procedure as set forth in
Section 2(a)(ii) above (including the provisions regarding binding arbitration);
provided that the Group 2 Loading Rack Tariff shall never be increased by more than 3% for
any such calendar year. To evidence the Parties’ agreement to each adjusted Group 2 Loading
Rack Tariff, the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule
VI and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated
Schedule VI shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Schedule VI-1, Schedule
VI-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional schedule to this Agreement and shall
replace the prior version of Schedule VI in its entirety.
(iii) If Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to load at the Group 2 Loading Rack the volumes of
Products, in the aggregate, required to meet the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue
Commitment as a result of HEP Storage-Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or the
inability to provide sufficient capacity, then the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue
Commitment applicable to the Contract Quarter during which Xxxxx Tulsa is unable to load
such volumes of Products will be reduced for such period of time by an amount equal to: (A)
the volume of Products, in the aggregate, that Xxxxx Tulsa was unable to load at the Group 2
Loading Rack (but not to exceed the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Throughput), as a result of
HEP Storage-Tulsa’s operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide
sufficient capacity to achieve the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Throughput, multiplied by
(B) the Group 2 Loading Rack Tariff. This Section 2(c)(iii)(e)(iii) shall not apply
in the event HEP Storage-Tulsa gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with
Section 4, in which case the Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment shall
be suspended in accordance with and as provided in Section 4.
(f) Clarification of Calculation of Tankage Throughput Amounts.
(i) Any streams moved internally within the Refinery will not be included in
determining the volumes for any Tankage Revenue Commitment.
(ii) Any Refined Products received from the Tulsa West Refinery or moved out of the
Refinery will not be included in determining the volumes for the Minimum Group 2 Tankage
Revenue Commitment.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, any high sulfur diesel fuel that Xxxxx Tulsa may
transport from the Tulsa West Refinery through the Group 1 Tankage or Group 2 Tankage for
processing in the Refinery’s distillate hydrotreater shall be subject to the Group 2 Tankage
tariff, and the resulting ultra low sulfur diesel fuel produced from the
high sulfur diesel fuel and then shipped from the Refinery via either the Pipelines or
the loading rack located at the Refinery shall be subject to the applicable Group 1 Tankage
tariffs.
(g) Volumetric Gains and Losses. Xxxxx Tulsa shall, during the Term, (i) absorb all

(o) Increases in Tariff Rates.
(i) Group 1 Assets. If new Applicable Laws are enacted that require HEP Tulsa
to make capital expenditures with respect to the Pipelines, Group 1 Tankage, or Group 1
Loading Rack, HEP Tulsa may amend the Pipeline Tariff, Group 1 Tankage Base Tariff, and
Group 1 Loading Rack Tariff, as applicable, in order to recover HEP Tulsa’s cost of
complying with these Applicable Laws (as determined in good faith and including a reasonable
return); provided, however, that HEP Tulsa may not amend the Pipeline

Group 1 Assets Assumed OPEX and such actual operating expenses for the remainder of the
Term, and the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Schedule
IV reflecting such aggregate operating expenses as the new Group 1 Assets Assumed OPEX.
In the event that the PPI increase for any given year is greater than seven percent (7%),
then, in addition to any other applicable increases during such year, HEP Tulsa shall
increase the Group 1 Tankage Base Tariff by an additional amount necessary to increase the
Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment by the Group 1 Assets OPEX Recovery Amount. Such
Group 1 Assets OPEX Recovery Amount shall be added to the then-current Group 1 Assets

Section 4. Notification of Shut-down or Reconfiguration; Force Majeure
(a) Xxxxx Tulsa must deliver to HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, at least six
months advance written notice of any planned shut down or reconfiguration (excluding planned
maintenance turnarounds) of the Refinery or any portion of the Refinery that would reduce the
Refinery’s output. 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

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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
19
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) 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).
(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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
20
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.

that HEP Tulsa has filed or may file containing rates, rules or regulations that are in effect at
any time during the Term and regulate the transportation of the Refined Products, and (b) not to
protest or file a complaint, nor cause their Affiliates to protest or file a complaint, nor
encourage or recommend to any other Person that it protest or file a complaint, or voluntarily
assist in any way any other Person in protesting or filing a complaint, with respect to regulatory
filings that the HEP Tulsa has made or may make at any time during the Term to change tariffs
(including joint tariffs) for transportation of Refined Products in each case so long as such
tariffs, regulatory filings or rates changed do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 6. Effectiveness and Term
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Time, and shall terminate at 12:01 a.m.
Dallas, Texas, time on December 1, 2024, unless extended by written mutual agreement of the Parties

tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and Xxxxx Tulsa shall

Section 9. Deficiency Payments
(a) As soon as practicable following the end of each Contract Quarter under this Agreement,
(i) HEP Tulsa shall deliver to Xxxxx Tulsa a written notice (the “Group 1
Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of Xxxxx Tulsa to meet their 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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
23
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 their 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.
(b) If Xxxxx Tulsa disagrees with any Group 1 Deficiency Notice or Group 2 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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
24
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).
(c) If it is finally determined pursuant to this Section 9 that Xxxxx Tulsa is
required to pay any or all of the disputed portion of the Disputed Deficiency Payment, Xxxxx Tulsa
shall promptly pay such amount to HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, as applicable, together with
interest thereon at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds.
(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that there shall be no carry-over of deficiency payments
beyond each Contract Quarter provided for in Section 9(a) with respect to the Minimum
Pipeline Revenue Commitment, the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 2
Tankage Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 1
Loading Rack Revenue Commitment.
(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that no revenue generated as a result of tariffs paid
with respect to any specific minimum revenue commitment hereunder, such as the Minimum Pipeline
Revenue Commitment, the Minimum Group 1 Tankage Revenue Commitment, Minimum Group 2 Tankage Revenue
Commitment, Minimum Group 2 Loading Rack Revenue Commitment or Minimum Group 1 Loading Rack Revenue
Commitment, shall be considered in determining whether Xxxxx Tulsa has satisfied any other minimum
revenue commitment hereunder for purposes of determining any deficiency pursuant to this
Section 9, though once the amount of such deficiencies are determined, the Parties may
offset payments due on account of such deficiencies in accordance with Section 9(a).
Section 10. Indemnification
(a) Environmental Indemnification
(i) Indemnification of HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa. From and after each
Closing Date, Xxxxx Tulsa shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless HEP Tulsa, HEP
Storage-Tulsa and their Related Indemnified Parties from and against environmental and Toxic
Tort losses (including, without limitation, economic losses, diminution in value suffered by
third parties, and lost profits), 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 HEP Tulsa, HEP Storage-Tulsa or their
Related Indemnified Parties or any third party to the extent arising out of:
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
25
(A) any violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws
associated with the ownership or operation of the HEP Purchased
Assets, or
(B) any event or condition associated with ownership or operation of
the HEP Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the presence
of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the
HEP Purchased Assets or the disposal or release of Hazardous
Substances generated by operation of the HEP Purchased Assets at
non-HEP Purchased Asset locations), including, without limitation,
(1) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment,
evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration,
remediation, or other corrective action required or necessary under
Environmental Laws, (2) the cost or expense of the preparation and
implementation of any closure,
remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or necessary
under Environmental Laws, and (3) the cost and expense for any
environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal or
litigation support work;
but only to the extent that such violation complained of under Section 10(a)(i)(A)
or such events or conditions included under Section 10(a)(i)(B) occurred before the
Closing Date applicable to the assets to which such violation, events or conditions relate
(collectively, “Covered Environmental Losses”).
(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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
26
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
(B) any event or condition associated with the operation of the HEP
Purchased Assets by a Person other than Xxxxx Tulsa and its
Affiliates or ownership and operation of the HEP Purchased Assets by
a Person other than Xxxxx Tulsa and its Affiliates (including, but
not limited to, the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about
or migrating to or from the HEP Purchased Assets or the disposal or
release of Hazardous Substances generated by operation of the HEP
Purchased Assets at non-HEP Purchased Asset locations) except, where
Xxxxx Tulsa or one of its Affiliates is operating an HEP Purchased
Asset, to the extent resulting from the negligent acts or omissions
or willful misconduct of Xxxxx
Tulsa or such Affiliate including, without limitation, (1) the cost
and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring,
containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, or other
corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws, (2)
the cost or expense of the preparation and implementation of any
closure, remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or
necessary under Environmental Laws, and (3) the cost and expense for
any environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal
or litigation support work;
but only 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.
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
27
(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.
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
28
(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, 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.
Section 13. Miscellaneous
(a) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be
valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties. No waiver of any provision of this
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
29
Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is
sought to be enforced. Any of the exhibits or schedules to this Agreement may be amended,
modified, revised or updated by the Parties if each of the Parties executes an amended, modified,
revised or updated exhibit or schedule, as applicable, and attaches it to this Agreement. Such
amended, modified, revised or updated exhibits or schedules shall be sequentially numbered (e.g.
Schedule I-1, Schedule I-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional exhibit or schedule to this
Agreement and shall replace the prior exhibit or schedule, as applicable, in its entirety, except
as specified therein. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder, and no course of
conduct, shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. No single or partial
exercise of a right hereunder shall preclude further or complete exercise of that right or any
other right hereunder.
(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, 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
First Amended and Pestated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
30
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 Original Tulsa East Throughput Agreement, and the Original 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 Original Tulsa East Throughput Agreement
and all of the obligations owing by the Parties under the Original Tulsa East Throughput Agreement
shall continue (from and after the date of this Agreement, as amended hereby).
Section 14. Guarantee by Xxxxx
(a) Payment and Performance Guaranty. Xxxxx unconditionally, absolutely, continually
and irrevocably guarantees, as principal and not as surety, to HEP Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa the
punctual and complete payment in full when due of all amounts due from Xxxxx Tulsa under the
Agreement (collectively, the “Xxxxx Tulsa Payment Obligations”). Xxxxx agrees that HEP
Tulsa and HEP Storage-Tulsa shall be entitled to enforce directly against Xxxxx any of the Xxxxx
Tulsa Payment Obligations.
(b) Guaranty Absolute. Xxxxx hereby guarantees that the Xxxxx Tulsa Payment
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The obligations
of Xxxxx under this Agreement constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment, and not of
collection or collectability. The liability of Xxxxx under this Agreement shall be absolute,
unconditional, present, continuing and irrevocable irrespective of:
(i) any assignment or other transfer of the Agreement or any of the rights thereunder
of HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa;
(ii) any amendment, waiver, renewal, extension or release of or any consent to or
departure from or other action or inaction related to the Agreement;
(iii) any acceptance by HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa of partial payment or
performance from Xxxxx Tulsa;
(iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Xxxxx Tulsa or any action
taken with respect to the Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such
proceeding;
(v) any absence of any notice to, or knowledge of, Xxxxx, of the existence or
occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subsections (i)
through (iv); or
(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, a guarantor.
The obligations of Xxxxx hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim,
First Amended and Restated Pipelines, Tankage and Loading Rack Throughput Agreement (Tulsa East)
32
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Xxxxx Tulsa Payment Obligations or otherwise.

any action against Xxxxx Tulsa, any other entity or any collateral.
(d) Subrogation Waiver. Xxxxx agrees that for so long as there is a current or
ongoing default or breach of this Agreement by Xxxxx Tulsa, Xxxxx shall not have any rights (direct
or indirect) of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or other rights of
payment or recovery from Xxxxx Tulsa for any payments made by Xxxxx under this Section 14,
and Xxxxx hereby irrevocably waives and releases, absolutely and unconditionally, any such rights

Partnership, of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the
foregoing subsections (i) through (iv); or
(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, a guarantor.
The obligations of each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership hereunder shall not
be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to
any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the HEP Tulsa Payment Obligations or otherwise.
(c) Waiver. Each of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership hereby waives
promptness, diligence, all setoffs, presentments, protests and notice of acceptance and any other
notice relating to any of the HEP Tulsa Payment Obligations and any requirement for Xxxxx Tulsa to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against HEP Tulsa or HEP Storage-Tulsa, any other entity or
