HEP-Operating has the right to terminate the Option Agreement, and the Parties desire to extend
such date to be the date occurring one hundred eighty (180) days after the Project Completion Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants set forth in this Amendment,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and legal sufficiency of

1. Project Schedule. The Project Schedule attached as Schedule B to the
Option Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the Project Schedule attached as Schedule B
to this Amendment is substituted in lieu thereof.

hereby deleted in its entirety the phrase “(A) the Expiration Date,” substituted in lieu thereof.
3. Force Majeure. Section 5.1(c) of the Option Agreement is hereby deleted in

This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. This Amendment may be executed in any number of duplicate
originals or counterparts, each of which when so executed shall constitute in the aggregate but one
and the same document.
