Section 2. Agreement to Use Tulsa Loading Racks

The parties intend to be strictly bound by the commercial terms set forth in this Agreement. The principal objective of HEP Tulsa is for Tulsa Refining to meet or exceed the 12,500 bpd minimum volume commitment as calculated on a monthly basis.

(a) Throughput and Rate; Minimum Revenue Commitment. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tulsa Refining agrees as follows:

(i) Subject to Section 3, Tulsa Refining will load or unload by tanker truck or rail car at the Tulsa Loading Racks an amount of Products in the aggregate that will satisfy the Minimum Revenue Commitment for each contract month. The “Minimum Revenue Commitment” shall be an amount of revenue to HEP Tulsa for each contract month determined by multiplying the Minimum Throughput times the Base Tariff.

(ii) Tulsa Refining will pay HEP Tulsa a fee of $0.60 per barrel (the “Base Tariff”), as such Base Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) and Schedule I attached hereto, for the first 12,500 bpd of Products calculated on a monthly basis, or such other amount of Products that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 3 (the “Minimum Throughput”), received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks and a fee of $0.30 per barrel (the “Incentive Tariff”), as such Incentive Tariff may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) and Schedule I attached hereto, for volumes in excess of the Minimum Throughput received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks. No later than 15 days after the end of each month during the Term, Tulsa Refining shall: (A) provide HEP Tulsa with a report detailing the number of barrels of Products received at or shipped from the Tulsa Refinery via the Tulsa Loading Racks for that month and (B) within ten days after receiving an invoice from HEP Tulsa, pay HEP

Tulsa the payment owed pursuant to this Section 2(a)(ii) and Section 11. Payments not received by HEP Tulsa on or prior to the applicable payment date will accrue interest at the Prime Rate from the applicable payment date until paid.

(iii) Each of the Base Tariff and the Incentive Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year 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, however, that such adjustment shall not exceed 3.0% in any Contract Year. The series ID is WPUSOP3000 as of December 31, 2007 — 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 2006 change is: [PPI (2005) — PPI (2004)] / PPI (2004) or (155.7 — 148.5) / 148.5 or .0485 or 4.85%, which would then be rounded down to 3.0% so as not to exceed the 3.0% cap. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the Base Tariff or the Incentive Tariff. If the above index is no longer published, the Parties 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 Base Tariff and the Incentive Tariff. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(f), and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Base Tariff and the Incentive Tariff. To evidence the Parties agreement to each adjusted Base Tariff and Incentive 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, except as specified therein.

(b) Operation and Maintenance of Tulsa Loading Racks.

(i) During the Term, (1) HEP Tulsa hereby retains Tulsa Refining, and Tulsa Refining hereby accepts such retention, to (at Tulsa Refining’s sole cost and expense) manage, operate and maintain the Tulsa Loading Racks for and on behalf of HEP Tulsa; (2) HEP Tulsa hereby authorizes Tulsa Refining to do and perform any and all acts and things necessary, requisite or proper for the efficient and safe operation, maintenance, upkeep and repair of the Tulsa Loading Racks and to do all other things that Tulsa Refining deems necessary or appropriate to the accomplishment of the purposes of this Agreement, so that the Tulsa Loading Racks may be utilized to load or unload at the Tulsa Loading Racks an average of 12,500 bpd of Products; and (3) Tulsa Refining shall manage and direct such operation, maintenance, upkeep and repair in an efficient, safe and economical manner and in accordance with all valid and applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities.

(ii) During the Term, Tulsa Refining shall maintain in effect all material licenses, authorizations, permissions or permits of a Governmental Authority necessary to operate the Tulsa Loading Racks.

(i) HEP Tulsa agrees that during the Term, Tulsa Refining and its Affiliates shall have the exclusive right to use the Tulsa Loading Racks.

(ii) During the Term, Tulsa Refining agrees to carry and keep in full force and effect insurance, including, without limitation, general liability and commercial property insurance, covering the Tulsa Loading Racks for the protection of the Parties that is customary for businesses of their type.

(iii) During the Term if any of the Tulsa Loading Racks are damaged or destroyed, then Tulsa Refining shall, in its sole discretion, either (x) rebuild or repair such damaged or destroyed Tulsa Loading Racks or (y) pay HEP Tulsa an amount equal to the replacement cost of such damaged or destroyed Tulsa Loading Racks. In the event the Parties are unable to agree on the replacement cost of the Tulsa Loading Racks, the replacement cost shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(f).

(d) Equipment Expansions and Modifications. From time-to-time the parties may agree to expand or modify certain equipment covered by this Agreement, including refined products loading racks and other equipment. In connection with the expansion or modification of such equipment, the parties may agree to certain reimbursements, increased tariff rates or other payments or may otherwise revise the terms of this Agreement to address such projects. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B is a list of current expansion or modification projects agreed to by the parties hereto and the terms of such projects. Exhibit B may be amended, modified, revised or updated from time-to-time to evidence the parties’ agreement to new expansion or modification projects; the completion, termination or revision of previously agreed to expansion or modification projects; or the modification of the terms of this Agreement in connection with the addition, completion, termination or revision of such expansion or modification projects. To evidence the Parties agreement to each new expansion or modification project or the completion, termination or revision of previously agreed to expansion or modification project or the modification of the terms of this Agreement in connection with the addition, completion, termination or revision of such expansion or modification projects, the Parties shall execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit B and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit B shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, etc.), dated and appended as an additional exhibit to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Exhibit B in its entirety, except as specified therein.

(e) Taxes. Tulsa Refining will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on the Products delivered by Tulsa Refining for transportation through the Tulsa Loading Racks. Subject to Article 3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Tulsa Refining will pay all real property taxes by any Governmental Authority levied on the real property on which the Tulsa Loading Racks are located and HEP Tulsa will pay all real property taxes, if any, or personal property taxes by any Governmental Authority levied on the Tulsa Loading Racks.

(f) Books and Records. During the Term, HEP Tulsa shall have the right, no more than twice in any twelve month period, to review and audit Tulsa Refining’s books and records relating to the volume of Products received at or shipped from the Tulsa Loading Racks for purposes of verifying Tulsa Refining’s compliance with Section 2(a)(ii). Any review, audit or investigation undertaken by HEP Tulsa shall be at HEP Tulsa’s own cost and expense.

(g) Monthly Surcharge. If new laws or regulations are enacted that require HEP Tulsa to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with respect to the Tulsa Loading Racks, HEP Tulsa may impose a monthly surcharge to cover HEP Tulsa’s cost of complying with these laws or regulations. Tulsa Refining and HEP Tulsa shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply with these laws and regulations and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of these laws and regulations and to determine the level of the monthly surcharge. If the Parties are unable to agree on the level of the monthly surcharge, such surcharge will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 13(f). Any applicable exhibit or schedule to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any monthly surcharge agreed to in accordance with this Section 2(g).

Section 3. Exceptions to Tulsa Refining’s Obligations

(a) Shut Down or Reconfiguration of Tulsa Refinery. Tulsa Refining must deliver to HEP Tulsa at least six months advance written notice of any planned shut down or reconfiguration (excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) of the Tulsa Refinery or any portion of the Tulsa Refinery that would reduce the Tulsa Refinery’s output. Tulsa Refining 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. If Tulsa Refining shuts down or reconfigures the Tulsa Refinery or any portion of the Tulsa 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 Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or reconfiguration unless it is exercising its right to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Purchase Option Agreement, Tulsa Refining shall (i) propose a new Minimum Revenue Commitment, such that the ratio of the new Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the anticipated production level following the shut down or reconfiguration will be approximately equal to the ratio of the original Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the original production level and (ii) propose the date on which the new Minimum Revenue Commitment shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Tulsa within 60 days of receipt by HEP Tulsa of such proposal, such new Minimum Revenue Commitment shall become effective as of the date proposed by Tulsa Refining. To the extent that HEP Tulsa does not agree with Tulsa Refining’s proposal, any changes in Tulsa Refining’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(f). Schedule I or any other 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 Tulsa Refining’s Minimum Revenue Commitment agreed to in accordance with this Section 3(a).

(b) Force Majeure. 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 30 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, 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 3(b) shall extend the Term. Tulsa Refining will be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that no party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. In the event a Force Majeure event prevents HEP Tulsa or Tulsa Refining from performing its obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than one year, this Agreement may be terminated by HEP Tulsa or Tulsa Refining.

Section 4. Agreement to Remain Shipper

With respect to any Products that are produced at the Tulsa Refinery and handled at any Tulsa Loading Rack, Tulsa Refining agrees that it will continue its historical commercial practice of owning such Products handled at a Tulsa Loading Rack and to continue acting in the capacity of the shipper of any such Products for its own account at all times that such Products are being handled at the Tulsa Loading Racks.

(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 Section 5, 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.

This Agreement shall be effective as of August 1, 2009 and shall terminate at 12:01 a.m. Dallas, Texas, time on August 1, 2024, unless extended pursuant to Section 3(b) or by written mutual agreement of the Parties hereto or as set forth in Section 8 or earlier terminated pursuant to the Purchase Option Agreement (the “Term”).

Section 8. Right to Enter into a New Agreement

(a) In the event that Tulsa Refining provides prior written notice to HEP Tulsa of the desire of Tulsa Refining to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement, but, if such negotiations fail to produce a written mutual agreement for extension by a date six months prior to the termination date, then HEP Tulsa shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more throughput agreements with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination, provided that until the end of one year following termination without renewal of this Agreement, Tulsa Refining will have the right to enter into a new throughput agreement with HEP Tulsa on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa proposes to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa shall give Tulsa Refining forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new throughput agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform Tulsa Refining of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and Tulsa Refining shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Tulsa Refining shall lose the rights specified by this Section 8(a) with respect to the assets that are the subject of such notice.

(b) In the event that Tulsa Refining fails to provide prior written notice to HEP Tulsa of its desire to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 7, HEP Tulsa shall have the right, during the period from the date of Tulsa Refining’s failure to provide written notice pursuant to Section 7 to the date of termination of this Agreement, to negotiate to enter into a new throughput agreement with a third party, provided however that at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term, Tulsa Refining will have the right to enter into a new throughput agreement with HEP Tulsa on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Tulsa proposes to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks. In such circumstances, HEP Tulsa shall give Tulsa Refining forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new throughput agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform Tulsa Refining of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and Tulsa Refining shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or Tulsa Refining

shall lose the rights specified by this Section 8(b) with respect to the assets that are the subject of such notice.

Section 11. Deficiency Payments

(a) As soon as practicable following the end of each contract month under this Agreement, HEP Tulsa shall deliver to Tulsa Refining a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of Tulsa Refining to meet its obligations under Section 2(a)(i); provided that Tulsa Refining’s obligations pursuant to its Minimum Revenue Commitment in Section 2(a)(i) shall be assessed on a monthly basis for purposes of this Section 11.

During the 30-day period following the payment of the Deficiency Payment, Tulsa Refining shall have access to the working papers of HEP Tulsa relating to the Deficiency Notice.

(c) If it is finally determined pursuant to this Section 11 that Tulsa Refining is not required to make any or all of the Deficiency Payment (the “Refund”), HEP Tulsa shall promptly pay to Tulsa Refining the Refund, 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 volumes with respect to Tulsa Refining’s Minimum Revenue Commitment under Section 2(a).

Section 13. Miscellaneous

(a) Intention as to Tulsa Refinery. Tulsa Refining represents to HEP Tulsa that, as of August 1, 2009, it is not considering a shut down of the Tulsa Refinery or any changes to the Tulsa Refinery that would have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Tulsa Refinery.

(b) 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 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 execute an amended, modified, revised or updated exhibit or schedule, as applicable, and attach it to this Agreement. Such amended, modified, revised or updated exhibits or schedules shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, 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.

(i) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, Tulsa Refining, HEP 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 Tulsa Refining (in the case of any assignment by HEP Tulsa) or HEP Tulsa (in the case of any assignment by Tulsa Refining); provided, however, that (i) HEP Tulsa may make such an assignment (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of HEP Tulsa without Tulsa Refining’s consent, (ii) Tulsa Refining may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial assignment) to an Affiliate of Tulsa Refining without the consent of HEP Tulsa, (iii) Tulsa Refining may make a collateral assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder and/or grant a security interest in its rights and obligations to all or a portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks to any bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them without the consent of HEP Tulsa, (iv) HEP Tulsa may make a collateral assignment of its rights hereunder and/or grant a security interest in its rights and obligations hereunder to a

bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them without Tulsa Refining’s consent, if such third party lender, debt holder or trustee shall have executed and delivered to Tulsa Refining a non-disturbance agreement in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Tulsa Refining and such third party lender, debt holder, or trustee, (v) HEP Tulsa may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom it transfers the Tulsa Loading Racks without Tulsa Refining’s consent, and (vi) Tulsa Refining may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party(ies) that acquire the Tulsa Refinery without the consent of HEP Tulsa. 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 Party, their obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) HEP Tulsa agrees that it will require any Person to whom it transfers the Tulsa Loading Racks to expressly assume all of HEP Tulsa’s obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Option Agreement, in a form of agreement reasonably acceptable to Tulsa Refining.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

(f) Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 13(f) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 13(f) 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 Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Tulsa Refining, HEP 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 the Tulsa Refining, HEP 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.

(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) Limitation of Damages. 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, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 5, OF ANY LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT (i) 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 OR (ii) BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE EVENTS, CONDITIONS OR OTHER MATTERS LISTED IN SECTION 5(a) OR SECTION 5(b) WHICH THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY AGAINST, SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL ANY PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, 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 TO A PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY UNDER SECTION 5(a) OR SECTION 5(b) HEREOF, AS APPLICABLE, (Y) AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR (Z) FOR 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 SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFULL MISCONDUCT.

(j) Notice to Third Parties. Tulsa Refining authorizes HEP Tulsa to file in the applicable recording office in the State of Delaware a UCC-1 Financing Statement (i) listing Tulsa Refining as “Debtor”, (ii) listing HEP Tulsa as “Secured Party” and (iii) checking the “Lessee/Lessor” as an alternative designation. The Parties agree that such UCC-1 Financing Statement is solely to provide notice to third parties of HEP Tulsa’s ownership of the Tulsa Loading Racks, that such financing statement shall not evidence a security interest in any of Tulsa Refining’s personal property, and that no such security interest is granted or deemed to be granted hereunder.

Section 14. Guarantee

(a) Payment and Performance Guaranty. The Partnership unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees, as principal and not as surety, to Tulsa Refining the punctual and complete payment in full when due of all amounts due from HEP Tulsa under the Agreement (collectively, the “Payment Obligations”). The Partnership agrees that Tulsa Refining shall be entitled to enforce directly against the Partnership any of the Payment Obligations.

(b) Guaranty Absolute. The Partnership hereby guarantees that the Payment Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The obligations of the Partnership under this Agreement constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment, and not of collection or collectibility. The liability of the Partnership 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 Tulsa Refining;

(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 Tulsa Refining of partial payment or performance from HEP Tulsa;

(iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to HEP 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, the 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 the 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 Payment Obligations or otherwise.

(c) Waiver. The Partnership hereby waives promptness, diligence, all setoffs, presentments, protests and notice of acceptance and any other notice relating to any of the Payment Obligations and any requirement for Tulsa Refining 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, any other entity or any collateral.

(d) Subrogation Waiver. The Partnership agrees that it shall not have any rights (direct or indirect) of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or other rights of payment or recovery from HEP Tulsa for any payments made by the Partnership under this Section 14 until all Payment Obligations have been indefeasibly paid, and the Partnership hereby irrevocably waives and releases, absolutely and unconditionally, any such rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and other rights of payment or recovery it may now have or hereafter acquire against HEP Tulsa until all Payment Obligations have been indefeasibly paid.

(e) Reinstatement. The obligations of the Partnership under this Section 14 shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Payment Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to HEP Tulsa or any other entity, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation or reorganization of HEP Tulsa or such other entity, or for any other reason, all as though such payment had not been made.

(f) Continuing Guaranty. This Section 14 is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the first to occur of the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Payment Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Partnership, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Tulsa Refining and its successors, transferees and assigns.

(g) No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Tulsa Refining (and the Partnership hereby waives any rights which the Partnership may have to require Tulsa Refining), in order to enforce such payment by the Partnership, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against HEP Tulsa or others liable on the Payment Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce Tulsa Refining’s rights against any other guarantors of the Payment Obligations, (iii) join HEP Tulsa or any others liable on the Payment Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Section 14, (iv) exhaust any remedies available to Tulsa Refining against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Payment Obligations, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Payment Obligations.
