THE LIABILITIES OF MORTGAGOR AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.8 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS MORTGAGE.

ARTICLE 9

SECURITY AGREEMENT

9.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage shall be construed as a mortgage on real property and it shall (subject to the Senior Liens) also constitute and serve as a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of, and shall constitute a security interest under, the Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the State of Oklahoma at any time, as to property within the scope thereof and situated in the State of Oklahoma) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases. To this end, Mortgagor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, AND SET OVER, and by these presents does GRANT, BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER AND SET OVER, unto Mortgagee, a security interest and all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases to secure the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

9.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file such “Financing Statements,” and Mortgagor hereby agrees to execute and deliver such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to time, consider reasonably necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee’s security interest herein granted and Mortgagee may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest.

9.3 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Subject, in each case, to the rights of any Lienholder under or pursuant to the Senior Liens, and the terms and provisions of the SNDA and this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses (other than auction and sale rights) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases afforded to it by the aforesaid Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the State of Oklahoma at any time, as to property within the scope thereof and situated in the State of Oklahoma) in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by this Mortgage.

9.4 No Obligation of Mortgagee. The assignment and security interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Mortgagee as a trustee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do same, or to take any action, incur any expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever.

9.5 Fixture Filing. This Mortgage shall constitute a “fixture filing” for all purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Oklahoma. All or part of the Mortgaged Property are or are to become fixtures; information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses set forth on the first page hereof. The address of the Secured Party (Mortgagee) is the address set forth in Section 1.1(a) and the address of the Debtor (Mortgagor) is the address set forth in the opening recital of this Mortgage.

9.6 Satisfaction and Release. If (a) all Obligations secured hereby shall be paid, performed and satisfied in full, (b) the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof, in which case the

provisions of clauses (i) through (iv) below shall be applicable only to such portion) shall be sold, consigned, conveyed or transferred in accordance with the provisions of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (c) the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall be terminated, cancelled or otherwise expire (except to the extent terminated by Mortgagee pursuant to a Force Majeure event affecting Mortgagor or an HEP Event of Default (each as defined in such agreement) and in accordance with Section 10(b) or Section 17(b) of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, as applicable), and the Obligations of HEP set forth in Section 13(c) of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall no longer be applicable, and/or (d) at any time Mortgagor’s or HEP’s (in the event Mortgagor does not have a stand-alone credit rating) senior unsecured debt has an Investment Grade Rating (as hereinafter defined) from both Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Xxxxx’x”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) (or any successor to the rating business of either thereof), then (i) this Mortgage shall be null and void, (ii) the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage shall be released as promptly as practicable, (iii) the Mortgaged Property shall revert to Mortgagor (or the transferee in the case of clause (b) above) free and clear of the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage, and (iv) Mortgagee shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, instruments of satisfaction and release that are reasonably requested by Mortgagor. Otherwise, this Mortgage shall remain and continue in full force and effect. As used in this Section 9.6, the term “Investment Grade Rating” shall mean a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, or BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Performance at Mortgagor’s Expense. The cost and expense of performing or complying with any and all of the Obligations shall be borne solely by Mortgagor and/or HEP to the extent provided in the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement.

10.2 Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Security Documents and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations have been performed and discharged in full.

10.3 Further Assurances. Mortgagor, upon the request of Mortgagee, will execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Security Documents and to subject to the liens and security interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or appurtenances to the then Mortgaged Property.

10.4 Recording and Filing. Mortgagor will cause the Security Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places as Mortgagee shall reasonably request, and will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.

10.5 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Mortgage shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or by delivering same in person to the intended addressee or by prepaid telegram. Notice so mailed shall be effective two days following its deposit. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of Mortgagee and Mortgagor shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(a) and the opening recital hereinabove, respectively; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party in the manner set forth hereinabove.

10.6 No Waiver. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist, or any election by Mortgagee not to insist, upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other terms, provision or condition thereof and Mortgagee shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

10.7 Mortgagee’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Mortgagor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Security Documents (after giving effect to any applicable notice and cure period), then at any time thereafter, and without further notice to or demand upon Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Mortgagee may have because of same, Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Mortgagor, and shall have the right to enter upon or in the Real Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate but in any case subject to the rights of any Lienholder arising under or pursuant to the Senior Liens and the terms and provisions of the SNDA. If Mortgagee shall elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Entity or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Security Documents, Mortgagee shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee for all losses, expenses, damage, claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.7 or by reason of any other provision in the Security Documents. All sums paid by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 10.7 and all other sums expended by Mortgagee to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand.

10.8 Covenants Running with the Land. All Obligations contained in the Security Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property.

10.9 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms of the Security Documents shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto, their successors and assigns, and all other Persons claiming by, through or under them.

10.10 Severability. The Security Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. If any provision of any of the Security Documents or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable neither the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10.11 Entire Agreement and Modification. The Security Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Mortgagor and, by its acceptance hereof, Mortgagee hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Mortgage conflict with any terms or provisions of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, the terms or provisions of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall govern and control for all purposes . The Security Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments (a) executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted, and (b) consented to by the Lienholders to the extent any such amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination would be materially adverse to the rights of any such Lienholder. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.

10.12 Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

10.13 Applicable Law. The Security Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Oklahoma (excluding any conflicts of law, rule or principle that might refer such matters to the laws of another jurisdiction).

10.14 No Partnership. Nothing contained in the Security Documents is intended to, or shall be construed as, creating to any extent and in any manner whatsoever, any partnership, joint venture, or association between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, or in any way make Mortgagee a coprincipal with Mortgagor with reference to the Mortgaged Property, and any inferences to the contrary are hereby expressly negated.

10.15 Headings. The Article, Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections.

10.16 Waiver of Stay, Moratorium, and Similar Rights. Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage or the indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or any rights or remedies Mortgagee may have thereunder, hereunder or by law.

10.17 Transfer of Mortgaged Property. No sale, lease, exchange, assignment, conveyance or other transfer (each, a “Transfer”) of the Mortgaged Property will extinguish the lien or security interest created by this Mortgage, except to the extent provided in Section 9.6 of this Mortgage or in the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement. As a condition to any Transfer, Mortgagee may (a) require the express assumption of the Obligations by the transferee (with or without the release of Mortgagor from liability in respect thereof), and (b) require the execution of an assumption agreement, modification agreements, supplemental security documents and financing statements satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee.

10.18 Estoppel Certificates. Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of the other party, a certificate regarding the status of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, consisting of statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which payments have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (e) to such party’s actual knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (f) to such party’s actual knowledge without investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist against the other party under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, and (g) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested.

10.19 Final Agreement. Mortgagor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this instrument at the time of execution hereof. Mortgagor acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in this Mortgage, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized to make any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters addressed in this Mortgage. THE WRITTEN AGREEMENTS HEREIN REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed, to (i) subordinate the rights and interests of Alon under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement (including Alon’s right to quiet enjoyment under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement or any claims, remedies or damages that may be due or available to, or become due or available to, Alon under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement), or (ii) subordinate the Alon Mortgage to any mortgage, deed of trust, assignment, security agreement, financing statement or other security document, other than, with respect to clause (ii), the Senior Loan Documents and the Future Senior Mortgage. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair, as between HEP or Operating, on the one hand, and Alon, on the other hand, the obligations of HEP and Operating, which are absolute and unconditional, to perform the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Alon Mortgage to the contrary, Alon hereby acknowledges and agrees, and HEP Fin-Tex by its consent to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees, that (i) in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Alon Mortgage, the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control for all purposes; and (ii) without the written prior consent of the Administrative Agent or the beneficiary of any Future Senior Mortgage (together with the Credit Parties, the “Senior Beneficiaries”), neither Alon nor HEP Fin-Tex (nor any future owner of the Mortgaged Property) will amend, revise, supplement, replace, restate, or otherwise modify the Alon Mortgage if such amendment, revision, supplement, replacement,

1-3

restatement or other modification would be materially adverse to the rights of any Senior Beneficiary.

2. Relative Rights and Priorities. Subject to the provisions of Section 1, Section 3 and Section 4 hereof:

(a) Until the Senior Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement (or if applicable, any agreement governing obligations secured by a Future Senior Mortgage) have terminated, and all letters of credit issued thereunder have been terminated and returned (the “Senior Obligations Payment Date”), Alon will not commence any foreclosure (whether a judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure) of the Alon Mortgage or accept a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.

(b) Alon agrees that, until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred:

(i) it will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Subordinated Lien pari passu with or senior to, or to give Alon any preference or priority relative to, the liens and security interests with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations;

(ii) it will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding (as herein defined)) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Alon Mortgage and with the same meaning herein as therein defined) by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or any other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf of any of the Senior Beneficiaries;

(iii) it has no right to (x) direct any of the Senior Beneficiaries to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage or (y) consent or object to the exercise by any of the Senior Beneficiaries of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (iii), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right); and

(iv) it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any of the Senior Beneficiaries seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and none of the Senior Beneficiaries shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of the Senior Beneficiaries with respect to the Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage.

(c) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, Alon agrees that it shall not, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions,

1-4

take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case, that is inconsistent with the terms or spirit of, or intent of the parties with respect to, this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any liens or claims held by any of the Senior Beneficiaries (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or the value of any claims of such parties under the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that Alon may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations imposed hereby.

(d) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the owner of the Mortgaged Property, any of the Senior Beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Mortgaged Property, without any consultation with or consent of Alon. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage, any of the Senior Beneficiaries may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations and the Mortgaged Property in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion.

(e) Alon shall not object to or contest, or support any other person or entity in contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged Property granted in favor of any of the Senior Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any failure by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Alon or their respective representatives to perfect its liens in the Mortgaged Property or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the liens in the Mortgaged Property granted in favor of any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Alon, the priority and rights as between any of the Senior Beneficiaries and Alon and their representatives with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall be as set forth herein.

As used in this Section 2, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Enforcement Action” means any demand for payment or acceleration thereof, the bringing of any lawsuit or other proceeding, the exercise of any rights and remedies, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, any enforcement or foreclosure of any lien or security interest, any sale in lieu of foreclosure, the taking of possession, exercise of any offset, repossession, garnishment, sequestration or execution, any collection of any Mortgaged Property, any notice to account debtors on any Mortgaged Property or the commencement or prosecution of enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents or applicable law, including without limitation the exercise of any rights of set-off or recoupment, and the exercise of any rights or remedies of a secured creditor under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time or otherwise; provided, that, the exercise or enforcement by Alon of its rights under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall not constitute an Enforcement Action.

“Insolvency Proceeding” means any proceeding in respect of bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, receivership, dissolution or assignment for the benefit of creditors, in each of the

1-5

foregoing events whether under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time or any similar federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law.

3. Recognition and Non-Disturbance of Alon Mortgage. If Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or any other person (Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or such other person being herein called a “Purchaser”) shall become the owner of any part of the Property by reason of the foreclosure (whether a judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure) of the Senior Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (any of such being herein called a “Foreclosure Event”), then for so long as the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement is in effect, the Purchaser shall (i) recognize the Alon Mortgage, and the Alon Mortgage shall not be terminated or affected thereby, but shall continue in full force and effect upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Alon Mortgage, and (ii) be bound by and subject to all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Alon Mortgage; provided, that, the Alon Mortgage shall be subordinated to any Future Senior Mortgage, regardless of whether such Future Senior Mortgage is a direct replacement of an existing Senior Mortgage or Security Instrument, and any such Future Senior Mortgage shall be considered a “Senior Mortgage” for purposes of this Agreement and the Alon Mortgage. Administrative Agent shall not name Alon as a party in any foreclosure or other proceeding relating to the Senior Mortgage or Notes, and shall not claim, or seek adjudication, that the Alon Mortgage has been terminated or otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure Event.

4. Pipelines and Terminals Agreement. Administrative Agent recognizes and confirms that the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, and the rights and interests of Alon thereunder, shall in no way be restricted, limited or otherwise affected by this Agreement, the Alon Mortgage, the Senior Mortgage, any Future Senior Mortgage, the Security Instruments or any liens or security interests thereof; provided, however, that, Alon agrees that nothing in the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall (a) prevent any Purchaser or subsequent purchaser from owning or operating the Mortgaged Property, so long as such Purchaser or subsequent purchaser shall have assumed, and be in compliance with, HEP’s obligations under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement and shall have executed an “SNDA” as defined in, and in accordance with, Article 6 of the Alon Mortgage, or (b) be deemed to invalidate or require the release of any Senior Beneficiary’s liens in the Mortgaged Property in connection with the exercise by Alon of a purchase option under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement or otherwise. Administrative Agent, both for itself and for any Purchaser, further agrees that upon any Foreclosure Event, the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall not be terminated or affected thereby, nor shall Alon’s right to ship or store petroleum products through the pipelines or in the terminals, respectively, constituting a portion of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement (or any other rights of Alon under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement) be affected or disturbed because of the Foreclosure Event, but rather the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as direct obligations between the Purchaser and Alon, upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall name Alon as a party in any foreclosure or other proceeding relating to the Senior Mortgage or Notes, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall claim, or seek adjudication, that the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement has been terminated or otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure

1-6

Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement is rejected in bankruptcy or is otherwise terminated, the Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by Alon, enter into a pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon on substantially the same terms (and with tariffs and minimum volumes commensurate with those then applicable under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement) and conditions as the rejected or terminated Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, but having a term commencing on the date on which Purchaser acquired title to any portion of the Property. The immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a covenant running with the land and shall be binding on any person or entity that acquires title to all or party of the Property by, through or under the Senior Mortgage.

5. Attornment With Respect to the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Foreclosure Event, Alon shall attorn to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall accept such attornment, and the Purchaser and Alon shall be bound to each other under all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement; provided, that, except for Alon’s express rights and remedies under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty of HEP or HEP Fin-Tex (or any owner of the Mortgaged Property prior to such Purchaser) or obligations accruing prior to Purchaser’s actual ownership of the Property. The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Alon shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such party. Alon agrees, however, to execute and deliver upon the request of Purchaser, any instrument or certificate which in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.

6. Estoppel Certificate. Alon agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of any of the Senior Beneficiaries, a certificate regarding the status of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, consisting of statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which payments have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (e) to Alon’s actual knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, (f) to Alon’s actual knowledge without investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist against HEP under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement, and (g) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested.

7. [Intentionally Omitted].

8. Reliance on Notices. HEP Fin-Tex agrees that Alon may rely upon any and all notices from Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, even if such conflict with notices from HEP Fin-Tex.

9. Notices. All notices, consents and other communications pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by (a) registered or certified mail, postage

10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Administrative Agent and Alon and inure to the benefit of the Senior Beneficiaries and Alon and their respective successors and assigns. Alon assigns to Alon Administrative Agent its rights hereunder and under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement by way of a collateral assignment.

HEP Fin-Tex has assigned to Administrative Agent its rights hereunder, and HEP has assigned to Administrative Agent its rights under the Pipelines and Terminals Agreement by way of a collateral assignment.
