     10.10 Integration. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement supersede any previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Omnibus Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement unless it is contained in a written amendment hereto or thereto and executed by the Parties hereto or thereto after the date of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Omnibus Agreement.
     10.11 Effect of Agreement; Ratification of Omnibus Agreement. Except as amended or supplemented by Article XI hereby, the terms and provisions of the Omnibus Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed by the Parties.

cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, or other corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws, (B) the cost or expense of the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or necessary under Environmental Laws, and (C) the cost and expense for any environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal or litigation support work;
but only to the extent that such violation complained of under Section 3.1(a)(i) or such events or conditions included under Section 3.1(a)(ii) occurred before the Closing Date (collectively, “Covered Environmental Losses”); or
     (iii) the operation or ownership of any assets not transferred under this Agreement, including but not limited to underground pipelines retained by the Seller Parties which serve the refineries in Lovington, New Mexico, Artesia, New Mexico and Woods Cross, Utah or the tanks that are part of the Drop-Down Assets (the “Transferred Tanks”).
     (b) To the extent that a good faith claim by the Partnership Group for indemnification under Section 3.1(a)(ii) or (iii) arises from events or conditions at the Transferred Tanks or the soil immediately underneath the Transferred Tanks or the Transferred Tanks’ secondary containment, and the Holly Entities refuse to provide such indemnification, then the burden of proof shall be on the Holly Entities to demonstrate that the events or conditions giving rise to the claim arose after the Closing Date.
     (c) The Holly Entities shall, during the period that commences on the Closing Date and ends five (5) years thereafter (the “Initial Tank Inspection Period”), reimburse the Partnership Group for the actual costs associated with the first regularly scheduled API 653 inspection (the “Initial Tank Inspections”) and the costs associated with the replacement of the tank mixers on each of the Transferred Tanks after the Closing Date and any repairs required to be made to the Transferred Tanks as a result of any discovery made during the Initial Tank Inspections; provided, however, that (i) the Holly Entities shall not reimburse the Partnership Group with respect to the relocated crude oil Tank 437 in the Artesia refinery complex and the new crude oil tank to replace crude oil Tank 439 in the Artesia refinery complex more particularly described in the definition of Drop-Down Assets, and (ii) upon expiration of the Initial Tank Inspection Period, all of the obligations of the Holly Entities pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) shall terminate, except that the Initial Tank Inspection Period shall be extended if, and only to the extent that (a) inaccessibility of the Transferred Tanks during the Initial Tank Inspection Period caused the delay of an Initial Tank Inspection originally scheduled to be preformed during the Initial Tank Inspection Period, and (b) the Holly Entities received notice from the Partnership Group regarding such delay at the time it occurred.

     (i) any violation or correction of violation of Environmental Laws associated with the ownership or operation of the Assets, or
     (ii) any event or condition associated with ownership or operation of the Assets (including, but not limited to, the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the Assets or the disposal or release of Hazardous Substances generated by operation of the Assets at non-Asset locations) including, without limitation, (A) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, or other corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws, (B) the cost or expense of the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, corrective action, or other plans required or necessary under Environmental Laws, and (C) the cost and expense for any environmental or Toxic Tort pre-trial, trial, or appellate legal or litigation support work;
and regardless of whether such violation complained of under Section 3.1(d)(i) or such events or conditions included under Section 3.1(d)(ii) occurred before or after the Closing Date, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are Covered Environmental Losses for which the Partnership Group is entitled to indemnification from Holly under this Article III; provided, however, that nothing stated above shall make the Partnership Group responsible for any post-Closing Date actions or omissions by the Holly Entities.”
     11.3 Limitations Regarding Environmental Indemnification. Section 3.2 of the Omnibus Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:
     “3.2 Limitations Regarding Environmental Indemnification. The aggregate liability of Holly in respect of all Covered Environmental Losses under Section 3.1(a) shall not exceed (i) $15.0 million plus an additional $2.5 million in the case of Covered Environmental Losses related to the Intermediate Pipelines (for clarity, the first $15,000,000 million limit would apply to Covered Environmental Losses associated with both the Intermediate Pipelines and the assets contributed to the Partnership by Holly at the time of the Partnership’s initial public offering, while the limit between $15,000,000 and $17,500,00 would

apply only to Covered Environmental Losses associated with the Intermediate Pipelines) and (ii) $7.5 million in the case of Covered Environmental Losses related to the Drop-Down Assets. Holly will not have any obligation under Section 3.1 until the Covered Environmental Losses of the Partnership Group exceed $200,000.”
     11.4 Right of Way Indemnification. Section 3.3 of the Omnibus Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

          (d) Section 1.1 of the Omnibus Agreement shall be amended to include the following definition:
