Sinclair shall notify ▇▇▇▇▇ with regard to any portion of Holly’s invoice which it disputes in good faith and the reasons therefore, not later than three Business Days following receipt of Holly’s invoice. Any overdue balance owed by a Party, except an amount that is disputed in good faith by said Party, shall accrue daily interest charges at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 150% of the Bank Rate (as in effect on the past due date) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law. Any overdue balance owed by a Party that is disputed by such Party in good faith shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the Bank Rate (as in effect on the past due date) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law. The Parties shall work together to resolve any invoice disputes by not later than two (2) days following the date payment was originally due. If a payment due date falls on a Saturday or a bank or federal holiday, other than Monday, the payment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. If the payment

9



due date falls on a Sunday or Monday bank or federal holiday, the payment shall be due on the following Business Day.
(i)    In addition to its other rights and remedies, in the event Sinclair fails to make any payment when due, ▇▇▇▇▇ may (i) terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, forthwith and without notice if Sinclair does not pay all undisputed amounts due to ▇▇▇▇▇ within thirty (30) calendar days after Holly’s exercise of Holly’s right of suspension under Section 3.3(b)(ii), (ii) if Sinclair does not pay to ▇▇▇▇▇ all undisputed amounts within one (1) Business Day of a payment due date pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3, suspend deliveries until all indebtedness is paid in full, and/or (iii) if Sinclair does not pay to ▇▇▇▇▇ all undisputed amounts within one (1) Business Day of a payment due date pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3, place Sinclair on a cash-on-delivery or prepayment basis.
Section 3.4.    Financial Responsibility.
(a)    Prior to the Effective Date, Sinclair shall either: (i) pledge 641,000 HEP Units to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to a pledge and security agreement in a form mutually satisfactory to the Parties (the “Pledge Agreement”) or (ii) provide letters of credit, cash collateral or other financial assurances, reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇ to provide adequate assurances of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ payment of amounts due or to become due under this Agreement.
(b)    Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ request, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall periodically update its credit evaluation to determine, in Holly’s discretion reasonably exercised, an open credit limit, if any, to be granted to Sinclair or its guarantor hereunder. Sinclair shall promptly provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with such financial and other information as ▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably request to allow ▇▇▇▇▇ to update Holly’s credit evaluation.
(c)    If ▇▇▇▇▇ determines in good faith that changes to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ financial condition warrant a change in Holly’s open credit limit, ▇▇▇▇▇ will advise Sinclair of such and Sinclair shall increase or decrease its pledge of HEP Units or provide to ▇▇▇▇▇ letters of credit, cash collateral or other financial assurances reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇ to provide adequate assurances of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ payment of amounts due or to become due under this Agreement.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time or from time to time the Collateral Value is less than the Required Collateral Amount and such shortfall has not been assured by Sinclair with other forms of financial assurances acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Section 3.4, then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right without liability or prior notice to Sinclair to immediately suspend deliveries of Product to Sinclair to the extent necessary to ensure that the Required Collateral Amount is and remains less than the Collateral Value. The exercise by ▇▇▇▇▇ of such right of suspension shall be without prejudice to and in addition to Holly’s other rights and remedies hereunder and shall not relieve Sinclair from any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to purchase and take timely delivery of the Nominated Volume.
Section 3.5.    Platts Product Price References. All references in this Agreement to “Platts Group 3 Spot” prices shall refer to the prices for Products published by Platts on the relevant day

(a)    Except as expressly set forth in Exhibit D, in the event that (i) the Platts Index Page ceases to exist or contain any of the data necessary to determine the Product Price in question for a Product, (ii) the Platts Index Page changes the basis for the determination of any of such data in a manner that is adverse to either of the Parties or (iii) there is a variation in the Products and the Platts Index Page does not publish a price for such Product, then the Product Price in question shall be based on such alternative publication, index or manner as most closely approximates the pricing methods then adopted by firms in the refining and marketing industry for deliveries at locations near the Delivery Point and as reasonably acceptable to both ▇▇▇▇▇ and Sinclair. In the event that no agreement is reached regarding an alternative pricing method in such a situation, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 10.3.
(b)    The Parties acknowledge this is a long-term refined products supply agreement and it is their intent for this Agreement to continue to apply if the Products listed in Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Tulsa Refinery during the term of this Agreement as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors. If as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors, all or part of the Products listed in Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Tulsa Refinery, then the Parties agree that the new refined products produced at the Tulsa Refinery shall be made available for delivery to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and this Agreement shall continue to apply to such new refined products.

The change factor (“Change Factor”) for the fees described in the first sentence of this Section 3.7 shall be equal to a percentage amount calculated as follows: the annual PPI index figure for the most current year less the annual PPI index figure for the immediately preceding year, which amount shall be divided by the annual PPI index figure for the immediately preceding year; provided the Change Factor in any year shall not be greater than four (4) percent. If the annual PPI index change in a given year from the immediately preceding year is negative, then the Change Factor will be deemed to be “zero.”

Title and risk of loss to Products shall pass from ▇▇▇▇▇ to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the Delivery Point. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall coordinate the shipment of Product with ▇▇▇▇▇ on a daily basis. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for scheduling all deliveries of Product into the Magellan Pipeline directly with Magellan. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for transportation of all Products from the Delivery Point, including contracting for all rail and truck transportation services, and such rail and truck transportation services shall meet Holly’s site access, insurance, safety and other requirements applicable to Persons entering the Tulsa Refinery generally. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to work with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to help coordinate and facilitate the orderly, timely and ratable delivery of Products and the logistics associated with those deliveries.
Section 4.2.    Measurements and Tests.
(j)    Unless otherwise specified, quantities delivered (i) into transport trucks shall be measured by the calibrated weight scales or calibrated meters at the Tulsa Refinery; or (ii) into pipelines shall be measured by calibrated meters maintained by the Magellan Pipeline, or if such are not available, by terminal tank gauges. Upon reasonable prior notice to the other Party, either Party may require presence of an independent petroleum inspector at the line of delivery. Such inspector shall be appointed jointly, and the cost of the inspector’s services shall be paid by the Party requiring the presence of the inspector. The inspector’s determinations shall be conclusive and binding upon both Parties. Each Party shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, to have a representative present to witness all gauges, tests, and measurements. In the absence of either Party’s representative, the gauges, tests and measurements of the other Party shall be deemed to be correct.
(k)    All measurements shall represent 100 percent volume, consisting of United States barrels of 42 gallons, the quantity and gravity of which will be adjusted to 60 degrees Fahrenheit temperature. Temperature corrections to 60 degrees Fahrenheit shall be made in accordance with the latest edition of Table 6A or 6B of the Petroleum Measurement Tables of the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 2540/American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 1250/Institute of Petroleum (IP) Designation 200, whichever is in use at the discharge terminal.

(l)    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Products prior to delivery. The warranties provided by ▇▇▇▇▇ in Article V shall remain in effect if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ exercises such inspection rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, regardless of whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ exercises such inspection rights or if a quality issue arises after the Delivery Point, absent manifest error, Holly’s samples and quality results for any Product

12



delivered at the Magellan Pipeline shall be binding on the Parties and shall govern any dispute with respect to such deliveries at the Magellan Pipeline accepted by Magellan. Samples of the Products shall be taken from the tank(s) or pipeline as appropriate. The sample shall be by line-sampling devices where available. Tests to determine quality shall be made from such samples and shall be made in accordance with standard test methods specified in the official publications of either the American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) or the American Petroleum Institute (“API”), whichever are in general use at the discharge terminal. Other appropriate test methods as mutually agreed may be used for the qualities where no methods are prescribed in ASTM or API publications on the delivery date. In any event, written notice of any claim which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may have relating to quantity or quality of Product in each delivery must be delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇ within five Business Days after the date of delivery of the Product or such claim shall be deemed waived.

In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇ may purchase the 50% of such RINs retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at a mutually agreed market price. For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be entitled to any RINs to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not entitled (e.g., RINs generated by any third party at locations other than the Tulsa Refinery).
Section 10.3.    Product Pricing. If at any time the standard practice in the industry provides for the Platts Group 3 Spot price to include the retention of RINs by a seller of the Products, then the Product Price under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 shall be altered to be consistent with such industry standards.

If the Parties are unable to mutually agree on such a price, then ▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver Unleaded Regular Gasoline in accordance with the pricing in paragraph (a) above.

c. Tulsa Gasoline:

If Platts Group 3 Spot prices are not posted for 7.8# RVP Tulsa Gasoline and such gasoline is supplied, the value added to the Product Price will be: (i) 47.5% of the 100% differential between the Tulsa OPIS 7.8# Contract Net Rack Average posting for the appropriate grade of gasoline vs. the Platts Group 3 Spot low price for the appropriate grade of gasoline, which amount shall be deemed to be zero if this calculation results in a negative amount; plus (ii) 52.5% of the 100% differential between 9.0# and 7.8# Platts Gulf Coast Spot Conventional Gasoline, which amount shall be deemed to be zero if this calculation results in a negative amount.

If a suboctane product becomes the product of choice and there is not a Platts Group 3 Spot price posted for the different grades, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a price for such products. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement in such circumstances, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 10.3 of the Agreement.

4.    Loading Fees

A loading fee of 0.6 cents per gallon will be charged by ▇▇▇▇▇ to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on all Products taken over the Tulsa Rack, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.7 of the Agreement.
