     This Agreement sets forth a commercial arrangement consistent with historical operational practices between the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities as well as the objectives of the Parties. The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which set forth the Minimum Revenue Commitment on the part of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and require the Partnership Entities to provide certain transportation services to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities. The principal objective of the Partnership Entities is for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to meet or exceed the Minimum Revenue Commitment. The principal objective of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities is for the Partnership Entities to provide services to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities in a manner that enables the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to operate their assets in a manner at least as favorably as their historical practice when the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities were the owners of the Intermediate Product Pipelines.

     (a) Minimum Revenue Commitment. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities agree as follows:

     (i) Subject to Section 3, during the Term the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities will transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines an amount of Intermediate Products in the aggregate that will produce revenue to the Partnership Entities in an amount at least equal to $2,956,500 per Contract Quarter as such amount may be revised pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) and Schedule I attached hereto (the “Minimum Revenue Commitment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Effective Date is any date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, then the Minimum Revenue Commitment for the initial Contract Quarter shall be prorated based upon the number of days actually in such calendar quarter and the initial Contract Quarter.

     (ii) The Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing July 1, 2010, by an amount equal to 75% of 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. The series ID is WPUSOP3000 as of December 31, 2007 — located at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇/. 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%. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then the annual change will be deemed to be “zero.” If the above index is no longer published, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities 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 Minimum Revenue Commitment. If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f), and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Minimum Revenue Commitment. To evidence the parties’ agreement to each adjusted Minimum Revenue Commitment, ▇▇▇▇▇ (on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities) and ▇▇▇▇▇ GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) 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.

     (iii) If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities are unable for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines the volumes of Intermediate Products required to meet the Minimum Revenue Commitment as a result of the Partnership Entities’ operational difficulties, prorationing, or inability to provide the 100,000 bpd capacity, then upon written notice by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to the Partnership Entities, the Minimum Revenue Commitment will be reduced for such period of time by an amount equal to: (1) the volume of Intermediate Products that the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities are unable to transport on the Intermediate Product Pipelines as a result of the Partnership Entities’ operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide the 100,000 bpd capacity multiplied by (2) the applicable tariffs. This Section 2(a)(iii) shall not apply in the event HEP gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with Section 3, in which case the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities’ Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be suspended in accordance with and as provided in Section 3.

     (b) Tariffs.

     (i) The tariff rates, and the rules and regulations applicable to intrastate service on the Intermediate Product Pipelines shall be as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, as such exhibit may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with this Agreement. The non-incentive tariff rate as of June 1, 2009 of 0.5664 shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing July 1, 2010, by an amount equal to 75% of the percentage change, if any, rounded to four

decimal places of the PPI calculated in accordance with the method set forth in Section 2(a)(ii); provided, however, that if the PPI index change is negative in a given year, then the non-incentive tariff rate shall be decreased by an amount equal to 75% of such percentage change. If the PPI is no longer published, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation or deflation, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the non-incentive tariff rates. If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f), and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the non-incentive tariff rates. To evidence the parties agreement to each adjusted tariff rate, ▇▇▇▇▇ (on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities) and ▇▇▇▇▇ GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) 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 ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, 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.

     (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay the Partnership an incentive tariff (the “Incentive Tariff”) equal to $0.2981 per barrel, as of June 1, 2009, for barrels shipped in excess of 100,000 bpd; provided, that the Partnership will receive its full base tariff of $0.5664 per barrel escalated annually at PPI for any and all non-▇▇▇▇▇-owned barrels shipped on the Intermediate Product Pipelines. The Incentive Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year, commencing July 1, 2010, as provided in Section 2(b)(i).

     (c) Obligations of the Partnership Entities. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 11(c), the Partnership Entities agree to own or lease, operate and maintain the assets necessary to accept the deliveries from the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and to provide the services required under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, subject to Section 11(c) of this Agreement and Article V of the Omnibus Agreement, the Partnership Entities are free to sell any of their assets, including assets that provide services under this Agreement, and the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities are free to merge with another entity (whether or not the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities is the surviving entity in such merger) and are free to sell all of their assets or all of their equity to another entity at any time. At the request of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, and subject in each case to any applicable common carrier proration duties, the Partnership Entities agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to transport by pipeline for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities each month during the Term 100,000 bpd of Intermediate Products on the Intermediate Product Pipelines. To the extent that the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities are entitled to an exception under Section 3 to their obligations under Section 2(a), the corresponding obligations of the Partnership Entities under this Section 2(c) will be proportionately reduced.

     (d) Pour Point Depressant and Additives. The Partnership Entities shall add pour point depressant to the Intermediate Products as may be requested by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities or as may be otherwise required to move certain Intermediate Products in the quantities necessary to meet the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities schedule. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities agree to reimburse the Partnership Entities

for the cost of adding pour point depressant to those certain Intermediate Products. All fuel additives, dyes and other additives (“Additives”) requested to be added to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities’ Intermediate Products will be provided by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities at no cost to the Partnership Entities or, if the Partnership Entities provide Additives, then the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities agree to promptly reimburse the Partnership Entities for the costs of the Additives. The Partnership Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the use of pour point depressant and Additives to the Intermediate Products to the amounts requested by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities.

     (e) Taxes. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on or with respect to the Intermediate Products delivered by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities for transportation by the Partnership Entities in the Intermediate Product Pipelines including, but not limited to, any New Mexico gross receipts and compensating (use) taxes. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities will reimburse the Partnership Entities for the New Mexico gross receipts tax, but not income tax, levied on or with respect to the transportation services provided by the Partnership Entities to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities under this Agreement. Should any Party be required to pay or collect any taxes, duties, charges and or assessments pursuant to any federal, state, county or municipal law or authority now in effect or hereafter to become effective which are payable by the any other Party pursuant to this Section 2(e) the proper Party shall promptly reimburse the other Party therefor.

     (f) Timing of Payments. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities will make payments to the Partnership Entities by wire transfer of immediately available funds on a monthly basis during the Term with respect to services rendered by the Partnership Entities under this Agreement in the prior month. Payments not received by the Partnership Entities on or prior to the applicable payment date will accrue interest at the Prime Rate from the applicable payment date until paid.

     (g) Pipeline Direction. Without Holly’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Partnership Entities will not reverse the direction of any Intermediate Product Pipeline or connect any other pipeline to the Intermediate Product Pipelines; provided, however, that the Partnership Entities may take any necessary emergency action to prevent or remedy a release of Intermediate Products from an Intermediate Product Pipeline without obtaining the consent required by this Section 2(g). The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities shall have the right to reverse the direction of any Intermediate Product Pipelines so long as the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities agree to reimburse the Partnership Entities for the additional costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership Entities as a result of changing the direction of any Intermediate Products on the Intermediate Product Pipelines (both to reverse and re-reverse), and (ii) to pay the flow reversal rates as set forth on Exhibit B, as it may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with this Agreement. The tariff rates applicable to any such flow reversal shall be as set forth on Exhibit B and shall be adjusted each year as provided in Section 2(a)(ii).

     (i) Scheduling of Product Movements. The Partnership Entities will use their reasonable commercial efforts to schedule Intermediate Products movements and accept

deliveries of Intermediate Products hereunder in a manner that is consistent with the historical dealings between the Parties, as such dealings may change from time to time.

     (j) Increases in Pipeline Tariff Rates. If new Applicable Laws are enacted that require the Partnership Entities to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with respect to the Intermediate Product Pipelines, the Partnership Entities may amend the tariff rates in order to recover the Partnership Entities’ cost of complying with these Applicable Laws (including a reasonable return). The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply with these Applicable Laws, and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of these Applicable Laws and to determine the amount of the new tariff rates. If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities are unable to agree on the amount of the new tariff rates that the Partnership Entities will charge, such tariff rates will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f). Exhibit B 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 changes in tariff rates agreed to in accordance with this Section 2(j).

     Section 3. Exceptions to Obligations

     Section 9. Deficiency Payments

     (a) As soon as practicable following the end of each Contract Quarter under this Agreement, the Partnership Entities shall deliver to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to meet their obligations under Section 2(a)(i); provided that the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities’ obligations pursuant to the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be assessed on a quarterly basis for the purposes of this Section 9. The Deficiency Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any deficiency and (ii) specify the approximate dollar amount that the Partnership Entities believe would have been paid by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities to the Partnership Entities if the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities had complied with their respective obligations pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) (the “Deficiency Payment”). The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities shall pay the Deficiency Payment to the Partnership Entities upon the later of: (A) ten (10) days after their receipt of the Deficiency Notice and (B) thirty (30) days following the end of the related Contract Quarter.

     (b) If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities disagree with the Deficiency Notice, then, following the payment of the Deficiency Payment to the Partnership Entities, a senior officer of ▇▇▇▇▇ (on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities) and a senior officer of ▇▇▇▇▇ GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) 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 faith to attempt to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to matters specified in the Deficiency Notice. During the 30-day period following the payment of the Deficiency Payment, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities shall have access to the working papers of the Partnership Entities relating to the Deficiency Notice. If such differences are not resolved within thirty (30) days following the payment of the Deficiency Payment, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Partnership Entities shall, within forty-five (45) days following the payment of the Deficiency Payment, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Deficiency Notice to arbitration in accordance with Section 11(f).

     (c) If it is finally determined pursuant to this Section 9 that the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities are not required to make any or all of the Deficiency Payment (the “Refund”), the Partnership Entities shall promptly pay to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities the Refund, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds.

     (d) Deficiency Payments will be credited against any payments owed by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities in the following four Contract Quarters in excess of the Minimum Revenue Commitments established by this Agreement for such Contract Quarters; provided, however, that the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities will not receive credit for any Deficiency Payment in any of the following four Contract Quarters until it has met the Minimum Revenue Commitment in the succeeding Contract Quarter.

     Section 10. Right of First Refusal The Parties acknowledge the right of first refusal of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities with respect to the Intermediate Product Pipelines provided in the Omnibus Agreement.

     Section 11. Miscellaneous

     (a) Intention as to Refineries. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities represent to the Partnership Entities that, as of the date of this Agreement, they are not considering a shut down of any of the Refineries or any changes to any of the Refineries that would have a material adverse effect on the operation of any of the Refineries.

     (b) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties and, in the case of any amendment or modification adverse to the Partnership Entities, approved by the Conflicts Committee. 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, and, in the case of any waiver by the Partnership Entities, approved by the Conflicts Committee. Except to the extent adverse to the Partnership Entities (in which case the approval of the Conflicts Committee shall also be required), any of the exhibits or schedules to this Agreement may be amended, modified, revised or updated by the Parties if each of ▇▇▇▇▇ (on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities) and ▇▇▇▇▇ GP (on behalf of the Partnership Entities) 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 ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, 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.

     (c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, the Partnership Entities 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 ▇▇▇▇▇ (in the case of any assignment by the Partnership Entities) or the Conflicts Committee (in the case of any assignment by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities), in each case, such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,

however, that (i) the Partnership Entities may make such an assignment (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of the Partnership Entities without Holly’s consent, (ii) the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial assignment) to an Affiliate of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities without the consent of the Conflicts Committee, (iii) the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities may make a collateral assignment of their rights and obligations hereunder and/or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Intermediate Product Pipelines to any bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them, and (iv) the Partnership Entities may make a collateral assignment of their rights hereunder and/or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Intermediate Product Pipelines to a bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them, if such third party lender, debt holder or trustee shall have executed and delivered to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities a non-disturbance agreement in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities execute 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 acceptable to the other Parties, their obligations under this Agreement.

     (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 Texas, 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 11(f) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11(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 the ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, the Partnership Entities 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. The ▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, the Partnership Entities 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.

     (g) 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.

     (h) 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.

     (i) 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.

						“Barrels” means 42 United States gallons at sixty degrees (60°) Fahrenheit.
						“Carrier” means ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Partners — Operating, L.P.
						“Company” means ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Partners — Operating, L.P.
						“Consignee” means the party to whom a Shipper has ordered the delivery of Intermediate Products.
						“Intermediate Products” means crude oil, gas oil, diesel, kerosene, casinghead, naphtha, normal butane and isobutane, all of which should be characteristically equal to like products that have been transported on the Intermediate Product Pipelines after January 1, 2003.
						“Nomination” means an offer by a Shipper to Carrier of a stated quantity of Intermediate Products for transportation from origin to specified destination.
						“Shipment” means a volume of Intermediate Products offered to and accepted by Carrier for transportation.
						“Shipper” means the party who contracts with the Carrier for transportation of Intermediate Products under the terms of this tariff.
						“Transmix” means the mixture that occurs in normal pipeline operations between non-compatible Intermediate Products.
	10			Specifications and Acceptance of Product		Intermediate Products will be accepted for transportation at such time as Intermediate Products of same quality and specifications are currently being transported from receiving point to destination. Prior to acceptance of Intermediate Products for transportation the Company may require from the Shipper a certificate setting forth, in detail, the specifications of each shipment of Intermediate Products. Carrier may also make such tests as it deems necessary.
						All additives and inhibitors to be included in Shipper’s Intermediate Products must first be approved by the Carrier before such Intermediate Products will be accepted for transportation. If Intermediate Products tendered by Shipper do not contain corrosion inhibitor compound which is satisfactory to Carrier, then Carrier may, at Shipper’s expense, inject corrosion inhibitor compound in the Intermediate Products to be transported, and Shipper and Consignee will accept delivery of shipments at destination containing portions of the corrosion inhibitor compound.
						Intermediate Products will be accepted for transportation when Shipper has made necessary arrangements (a) to provide facilities to tender such Intermediate Products and deliver same at Carrier’s receiving manifold at the origin at pumping rates and pressures as required by Carrier, and (b) to provide facilities at the destination to receive the Intermediate Products tendered for transportation at flow rates and pressures as required by Carrier.
						Carrier may require Shipper to supply adequate buffer material when necessary for quality control purposes to maintain segregation of Shipments of Intermediate Products.
	15			Shipments- Nominations and Minimum Tender		Shipper will be required to schedule its Intermediate Products for delivery into Carrier’s receiving tanks or suction manifold at the origin to meet the cycle within which Carrier schedules the Intermediate Products to move. Intermediate Products shall be available for shipment 24 hours before the scheduled date for movement into the Carrier’s pipeline system. Shipper shall deliver Intermediate Products to Carrier at a pressure no greater than 256 psig and at a flowing pressure of at least 100 psig, at a temperature of no greater than 135 degrees Fahrenheit.

Item No.				Subject		Application
	20			Mixing with Other Refined Petroleum Products		Carrier will endeavor to deliver substantially the same Intermediate Products as received from Shipper to the extent permitted by Carrier’s facilities. However, all shipments will be accepted for transportation only on condition that it shall be subject to such changes in gravity or quality while in transit as may result from the mixture with other Intermediate Products in the pipelines.
						Carrier will allocate all Transmix to Shipper. Shipper must accept delivery of Transmix from Carrier no later than 5 days after notification that Transmix is available for distribution to Shipper. Shipper will have sole responsibility for the disposition of its Transmix.
	25			Refined Petroleum Products to be Free from Liens and Charges		Company shall have the right to decline to receive any Intermediate Products which may be involved in litigation or the title of which may be in dispute, and it may require of the Shipper satisfactory evidence of his perfect and unencumbered title or satisfactory indemnity bond to protect Company.
	30			Commodity		Company is engaged in the transportation of Intermediate Products exclusively and therefore will not accept any other commodity for transportation.

In the event of such loss, Shipper shall bear the loss. Transportation charges will be assessed only on the quantity delivered net of volume corrections as set forth in Item No. 45 herein.
	45			Gauging, Testing, and Volume Corrections		Shipments tendered to Carrier for transportation shall be tested by a representative of Carrier, and gauged or measured by automatic equipment approved by Carrier or by other methods acceptable in the industry, at locations designated by Carrier. The Shipper shall have the privilege of being present or represented at the gauging and testing. Quantities will be computed from correctly compiled tank tables or by Carrier approved meters. Corrections will be made for temperature from observed degrees Fahrenheit to sixty degrees (60°) Fahrenheit.
						Shipper shall bear the actual product losses for shrinkage and evaporation incident to pipeline transportation up to a maximum of twenty-five hundredths (0.25) of a percent. Carrier shall offset such product losses with any product gains and shall determine the net product losses on a calendar quarterly basis.
	55			Line Fill		Either prior to or after the acceptance of Shipments for transportation through Carrier’s pipeline system, Carrier may, upon reasonable notice, require each Shipper to provide a pro rata part of the volume of Intermediate Products necessary for pipeline fill. Intermediate Products provided by a Shipper for this purpose may be withdrawn from the system only with the prior approval of Carrier or after reasonable notice of such Shipper’s intention.

Item No.				Subject		Application
	65			Claims, Suits, Time for Filing		As a condition precedent to recovery, claims must be filed in writing with Carrier within nine (9) months after delivery of the property, or in case of failure to make delivery, then within nine (9) months after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed; and suits shall be instituted against Carrier only within two (2) years and one (1) day from the day when notice in writing is given by Carrier to the claimant that Carrier has disallowed the claim or any part or parts thereof specified in the notice.
