NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and obligations contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS

1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A.

1.2 Interpretation. Matters relating to the interpretation of this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit B.

ARTICLE 2

AGREEMENT TO USE SERVICES

2.1 Intent. The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which sets forth revenues to HEP Operating to be paid by HFRM, and requires HEP Operating to provide certain transportation, storage and loading services to HFRM. The principal objective of HEP Operating is for HFRM to meet or exceed its obligations with respect to the Minimum Revenue Commitment. The principal objective of HFRM is for HEP Operating to provide services to HFRM in a manner that enables HFRM to transport, store and/or load Products on, in or at the Applicable Assets. It is the Parties’ further intent that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be effective and govern from and after the Effective Time. Any matter first arising prior to the Effective Time shall be governed by the respective agreement relating thereto referenced in the Recitals.

2.2 Minimum Revenue Commitments. During the Applicable Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and as further set forth in Exhibit C, HFRM agrees as follows:

(a) Capacity and Revenue Commitment. Subject to Article 4, HFRM shall pay HEP Operating Applicable Tariffs for use of the Applicable Assets and associated services as provided herein that result in the payment of an amount that will satisfy the Minimum Revenue Commitment in exchange for HEP Operating providing HFRM a minimum capacity in each of the Applicable Assets equal to the Minimum Capacity Commitment. The “Minimum Revenue Commitment” shall be the aggregate sum of the revenue to HEP Operating for each Contract Quarter determined by multiplying the Minimum Throughput Commitment for each Applicable Asset for such Contract Quarter, by the Base Tariff for such Applicable Asset in effect for such Contract Quarter. The “Minimum Capacity Commitment” means the amount set forth on Exhibit C for each Applicable Asset.

 

2


(b) Applicable Tariffs. HFRM shall pay (i) the applicable Base Tariffs for all quantities of Product transported, stored or loaded at, on or through the Applicable Assets in each Contract Quarter during the Applicable Term up to and including the applicable Incentive Tariff Threshold for such Applicable Asset set forth on Exhibit C, (ii) the applicable Incentive Tariff for quantities in excess of the Incentive Tariff Threshold and, (iii) if applicable, the Excess Tariff for the Applicable Asset for quantities in excess of the Excess Tariff Threshold. HFRM shall pay the applicable fees for all quantities of Product transported, stored or loaded at, on or through the Refined Products Terminals in each Contract Quarter during the Applicable Term set forth on Exhibit N-2.

(c) Adjustment of Applicable Tariffs. The Applicable Tariffs shall be adjusted in the manner set forth on Exhibit C. To evidence the Parties’ agreement to each adjusted Applicable Tariff, the Parties may, but shall not be required to, execute an amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C and attach it to this Agreement. If executed, such amended, modified, revised or updated Exhibit C shall be sequentially numbered (e.g. Exhibit C-1, Exhibit C-2, etc.), dated and appended as an additional exhibit to this Agreement and shall replace the prior version of Exhibit C in its entirety, after its date of effectiveness. The applicable fees in respect of the Refined Products Terminals shall be adjusted as set forth on Exhibit N-2.

(d) Reduction for Non-Force Majeure Operational Difficulties. If HFRM is unable to transport, store and/or load on, in or at any Applicable Asset the volumes of Products required to meet the Minimum Revenue Commitment for such Applicable Asset for a particular Contract Quarter as a result of HEP Operating’s operational difficulties, prorationing, or the inability to provide sufficient capacity for the Minimum Throughput Commitment, then the Minimum Revenue Commitment applicable to the Contract Quarter during which HFRM is unable to transport, store and/or load such volumes of Products will be reduced by an amount equal to: (A) the volume of Products that HFRM was unable to transport, store and/or load on, in or at such Applicable Assets (but not to exceed the Minimum Throughput Commitment), as a result of HEP Operating’s operational difficulties, prorationing or inability to provide sufficient capacity on the Applicable Assets to achieve the Minimum Throughput Commitment, multiplied by (B) the applicable Base Tariff. This Section 2.2(d) shall not apply in the event HEP Operating gives notice of a Force Majeure event in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, in which case the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be suspended to the extent contemplated in Article IX of the Omnibus Agreement.

(e) Pro-Rationing for Partial Periods. Notwithstanding the other portions of this Section 2.2, in the event that the commencement date of the Applicable Term for any group of Applicable Assets is any date other than the first day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Revenue Commitment, Minimum Throughput Commitment, and any applicable Incentive Tariffs for the initial partial Contract Quarter with respect to such group of Applicable Assets shall be prorated based upon the number of days actually in such partial Contract Quarter. Similarly, notwithstanding the other portions of this Section 2.2 if the last day of the Applicable Term for any group of Applicable Assets is on a day other than the last day of a Contract Quarter, then the Minimum Revenue Commitment, Minimum Throughput Commitment, and any applicable Incentive Tariff for the final partial Contract Quarter with respect to such group of Applicable Assets shall be prorated based upon the number of days actually in such partial Contract Quarter and the initial Contract Quarter.

2.3 Measurement of Shipped Volumes. Matters with respect to the measurement of shipped volumes are set forth on Exhibit D.

2.4 Volumetric Gains and Losses; Line Fill; High-API Oil Surcharge. Matters with respect to volumetric gains and losses, line fill and high-API oil surcharges are set forth on Exhibit E.

2.5 Obligations of HEP Operating. During the Applicable Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, HEP Operating agrees to:

(a) own or lease, operate and maintain (directly or through a Subsidiary) the Applicable Assets and all related assets necessary to handle the applicable Products from HFRM;

(b) make available for HFRM’s use the capacity of the Applicable Assets of at least the Minimum Capacity Commitment;

(c) provide the services required under this Agreement and perform all operations relating to the Applicable Assets, including tank gauging, tank maintenance, loading trucks, interaction with third party pipelines and customer interface for access agreements (as applicable) and performance of all operations and maintenance for the Applicable Assets;

(d) maintain adequate property and liability insurance covering the Applicable Assets and any related assets owned by HEP Operating or its affiliates and necessary for the operation of the Applicable Assets; and

(e) at the request of HFRM, and subject in any case to any applicable common carrier proration duties and commitments to other third-party shippers, use commercially reasonable efforts to transport, store and/or load on the Applicable Assets for HFRM each month during the Applicable Term the quantity of Products that HFRM designates from time to time, but in no event less than the Minimum Capacity Commitment.

Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 2.5, subject to the dispute resolution provisions of the Omnibus Agreement and with respect to the Tulsa Assets, the Tulsa Purchase Agreements, HEP Operating or its Affiliate is free to sell any of its assets, including any Applicable Assets, and HFRM is free to merge with another entity and to sell all of its assets or equity to another entity at any time.

2.6 Drag Reducing Agents and Additives. If HEP Operating determines that adding drag reducing agents (“DRA”) to the Products is reasonably required to move the Products in the quantities necessary to meet HFRM’s schedule or as may be otherwise be required to safely move such quantities of Products or that additives should be used in the operation of the Applicable Assets, HEP Operating shall provide HFRM with an analysis of the proposed cost and benefits thereof. In the event that HFRM agrees to use such additives as proposed by HEP Operating, HFRM shall reimburse HEP Operating for the costs of adding any DRA or additives. If HEP Operating reasonably determines that additives or chemicals must be added to any of the pipelines included in the Applicable Assets to prevent or control internal corrosion of the pipe, then HFRM shall reimburse HEP Operating for the direct cost of the chemical and associated injection equipment.

2.7 Change in the Direction; Product Service or Origination and Destination of the Pipeline System. Without HFRM’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), HEP Operating shall not (i) reverse the direction of flow of any Pipeline; (ii)

 

4


change, alter or modify the Product service of any Pipeline; or (iii) change, alter or modify the origination or destination of any Pipeline; provided, however, that HEP Operating may take any necessary emergency action to prevent or remedy a release of Products from a Pipeline without obtaining the consent required by this Section 2.7. HFRM shall have the right to reverse the direction of flow of any segment of a Pipeline where it is the sole shipper of Products if, in each case, HFRM agrees to (1) reimburse HEP Operating for the additional costs and expenses incurred by HEP Operating as a result of such change in direction (both to reverse and re-reverse); (2) reimburse HEP Operating for all costs arising out of HEP Operating’s inability to perform under any transportation service contract due to the reversal of the direction of flow of the Pipeline; and (3) pay the Applicable Tariffs in accordance with this Agreement, for any such flow reversal. With respect to the Malaga Pipeline System, the foregoing shall apply regardless of whether the Product shipped in such manner reaches an injection point for the Centurion Pipeline or Plains Pipeline. HEP Operating shall not acquire any right, title or interest in the Products, and all title to and ownership of the Products while the same is in the possession of HEP Operating shall be and shall remain exclusively in HFRM. HEP Operating shall not represent itself to any third party as the owner of any of the Products and shall hold the same in trust for HFRM. HFRM shall advise HEP Operating in writing of any change in Product ownership while in the Applicable Assets. If any of HFRM’s Product is sold, exchanged, or otherwise changes ownership while in the Applicable Assets, HFRM shall nonetheless be responsible for the terms and conditions of this Agreement the same as if Products had been owned by HFRM.

2.8 Notification of Utilization. Upon request by HEP Operating, HFRM will provide to HEP Operating written notification of HFRM’s reasonable good faith estimate of its anticipated future utilization of the Applicable Assets as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such request.

2.9 Scheduling and Accepting Movement. HEP Operating will use its reasonable commercial efforts to schedule and accept movements of Products in a manner that is consistent with the historical dealings between the Parties and their Affiliates, as such dealings may change from time to time.

2.10 Taxes. HFRM will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on or with respect to the Products handled by HFRM for transportation, storage and/or loading by HEP Operating. Should either Party be required to pay or collect any taxes, duties, charges and or assessments pursuant to any Applicable Law or authority now in effect or hereafter to become effective which are payable by the any other Party pursuant to this Section 2.10 the proper Party shall promptly reimburse the other Party therefor.

2.11 Timing of Payments. HFRM will make payments to HEP Operating by electronic payment with immediately available funds on a monthly basis during the Applicable Term with respect to services rendered or reimbursable costs or expenses incurred by HEP Operating under this Agreement in the prior month. Payments not received by HEP Operating on or prior to the tenth day following the invoice date will accrue interest at the Prime Rate from the applicable payment date until paid.

2.12 Increases in Tariff Rates. If new Applicable Laws are enacted that require HEP Operating to make capital expenditures with respect to the Applicable Assets, HEP Operating may amend the Applicable Tariffs in the manner set forth in Exhibit F, in order to recover HEP Operating’s cost of complying with such new Applicable Laws (as determined in good faith and including a reasonable return). HFRM and HEP Operating shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to comply with such new Applicable Laws, and shall negotiate in good faith to mitigate the impact of such new Applicable Laws and to determine the amount of the new Applicable Tariff rates. If HFRM and HEP Operating are unable to agree on the amount of the new Applicable Tariff rates that HEP Operating will charge, such Applicable Tariff rates will be resolved in the manner provided for in the Omnibus Agreement. Any other applicable

 

5


exhibit to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any changes in Applicable Tariff rates established in accordance with this Section 2.12.

2.13 Removal of Tank from Service. The Parties agree that if a tank included in the Applicable Assets is removed from service, then HEP Operating will not be required to utilize, operate or maintain such tank or provide the services required under this Agreement with respect to such tank (and there will be no adjustment to the applicable Minimum Revenue Commitment). The Parties acknowledge that provisions relating to the inspection, repair and maintenance of tanks included in the Applicable Assets are set forth in the Master Lease and Access Agreement, and such provisions are in addition to, and not in substitution of, the terms set forth in this Section 2.13.

2.14 No Guaranteed Minimum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, there is no requirement that HFRM deliver any minimum quantity of Product for transport, storage, handling or loading on, over or in the Applicable Assets, it being understood that HFRM’s obligation for failing to ship, store or load sufficient quantities of Product to satisfy the Minimum Revenue Commitment is to make Deficiency Payments as provided in Article 10.

2.15 Ethanol Blending. For any Applicable Asset at which HEP Operating provides ethanol blending services to HFRM, HEP Operating agrees to allow HFRM or its representative to perform (i) periodic audits of the ethanol blending operation to assess whether the overall volumes of ethanol used by HEP Operating are consistent with HFRM’s ethanol blending specifications and that the ethanol was blended with HFRM’s gasoline or blend stock; and (ii) periodic sampling and testing of the gasoline produced subsequent to the ethanol blending and periodic inspections to ensure the contractual requirements between HEP Operating and HFRM are being met.

ARTICLE 3

AGREEMENT TO REMAIN SHIPPER

With respect to any Product that is transported, stored or loaded in connection with any of the Applicable Assets by HFRM, HFRM agrees that it will continue acting in the capacity of the shipper of any such Product for its own account at all times that such Product is being transported, stored, handled or loaded in the Applicable Assets.

ARTICLE 4

NOTIFICATION OF REFINERY SHUT-DOWN OR RECONFIGURATION

If a Refinery shuts down or the Refinery owner reconfigures the Refinery or any portion of the Refinery (excluding planned maintenance turnarounds) and HFRM reasonably believes in good faith that such shut down or reconfiguration will jeopardize its ability to satisfy its applicable Minimum Revenue Commitments under this Agreement, then within 90 days of the delivery of the written notice of the planned shut down or reconfiguration, HFRM shall (A) propose a new Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement, as applicable, such that the ratio of the new applicable 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 applicable Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement over the original production level and (B) propose the date on which the new Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement shall take effect. Unless objected to by HEP Operating within 60 days of receipt by HEP Operating of such proposal, such new Minimum Revenue Commitment under this

 

6


Agreement shall become effective as of the date proposed by HFRM. To the extent that HEP Operating does not agree with HFRM’s proposal, any changes in HFRM’s obligations under this Agreement, or the date on which such changes will take effect, will be determined pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the Omnibus Agreement. Any applicable exhibit to this Agreement will be updated, amended or revised, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any change in the applicable Minimum Revenue Commitment under this Agreement agreed to in accordance with this Section 4.1.

In addition, in the event of a partial shutdown or a reconfiguration of the Navajo Refinery, HFRM agrees to utilize the Refined Products Pipelines and the Navajo Refinery truck rack for 100% of the Navajo Refinery output for the duration of such partial shutdown or reconfiguration.

ARTICLE 5

FORCE MAJEURE

The rights and obligations of the Parties upon the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure will be determined in the manner set forth in the Omnibus Agreement; provided that (a) any suspension of the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement as a result of an event of Force Majeure shall extend the Applicable Term (to the extent so affected) for a period equivalent to the duration of the inability set forth in the Force Majeure Notice, (b) HFRM will be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event, and (c) if a Force Majeure event prevents either Party from performing substantially all of their respective obligations under this Agreement relating to a group of Applicable Assets for a period of more than one (1) year, this Agreement may be terminated as to such Applicable Assets (but not as to unaffected Applicable Assets) by either Party providing written notice thereof to the other Party.

ARTICLE 6

AGREEMENT NOT TO CHALLENGE PIPELINE TARIFFS

HFRM agrees to any tariff rate changes for Pipelines in accordance with this Agreement. HFRM agrees (a) not to challenge, nor to cause their Affiliates to challenge, nor to encourage or recommend to any other Person that it challenge, or voluntarily assist in any way any other Person in challenging, in any forum, interstate or intrastate tariffs (including joint tariffs) of HEP Operating (or its Affiliates) that HEP Operating (or its Affiliate) has filed or may file containing rates, rules or regulations that are in effect at any time during the Applicable Term and regulate the transportation of the Products on any Pipelines, (b) not to protest or file a complaint, nor cause their Affiliates to protest or file a complaint, nor encourage or recommend to any other Person that it protest or file a complaint, or voluntarily assist in any way any other Person in protesting or filing a complaint, with respect to regulatory filings that HEP Operating or its Affiliate has made or may make at any time during the Applicable Term to change interstate or intrastate tariffs (including joint tariffs) for transportation of Products on any Pipelines, and (c) not to seek, nor cause any of its Affiliates to seek, nor encourage or recommend to any other Person that it seek, or voluntarily assist in any way any other Person in seeking, regulatory review of, or regulatory jurisdiction over, the contractual rates charged at any time during the term of this Agreement by HEP Operating for terminalling services or to challenge, in any forum, such rates or changes to such rates, in each case so long as such tariffs, regulatory filings or rates changed do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7

EFFECTIVENESS AND APPLICABLE TERM

This Agreement shall be effective as to each group of Applicable Assets as of the date and time set forth on Exhibit C (or, in the case of the Refined Products Terminals, Exhibit N-2) and shall terminate with respect to each group of Applicable Assets as of the date and time set forth on Exhibit C (or, in the case of the Refined Products Terminals, Exhibit N-2), unless extended by written mutual agreement of the Parties or as set forth in Article 8 (each, the “Applicable Term”). The Party desiring to extend this Agreement with respect to any group of Applicable Assets pursuant to this Article 7 shall provide prior written notice to the other Party of its desire to so extend this Agreement; such written notice shall be provided not more than twenty-four (24) months and not less than the later of twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of the Applicable Term or ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from the other Party (which request may be delivered no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of the Applicable Term) to provide any such notice or lose such right.

ARTICLE 8

RIGHT TO ENTER INTO A NEW AGREEMENT

8.1. Negotiation Pursuant to Written Notice. In the event that HFRM provides prior written notice to HEP Operating of the desire of HFRM to extend this Agreement for a specific group of Applicable Assets by written mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to Article 7, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to extend this Agreement by written mutual agreement with respect to such specific group of Applicable Assets, but, if such negotiations fail to produce a written mutual agreement for extension by a date six months prior to the termination date for such group of Applicable Assets, then HEP Operating shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more throughput, tankage or transportation services agreements for HFRM’s Minimum Capacity Commitment for such Applicable Assets with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination, provided, however, that until the end of one year following termination without renewal of this Agreement for such group of Applicable Assets, HFRM will have the right to enter into a new throughput, tankage or transportation services or transportation services agreement with HEP Operating with respect to its Minimum Capacity Commitment on the date of termination on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which HEP Operating proposes to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of such capacity of such group of Applicable Assets. In such circumstances, HEP Operating shall give HFRM at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new throughput agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform HFRM of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other material terms of the proposed third party agreement. HFRM shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or HFRM shall lose the rights specified by this Section 8.1 with respect to the capacity that is the subject of such notice.

8.2. Negotiation in the Absence of Written Notice. In the event that HFRM fails to provide prior written notice to HEP Operating of the desire of HFRM to extend this Agreement for a specific group of Applicable Assets by written mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to Article 7, HEP Operating shall have the right, during the period from the date of HFRM’s failure to provide written notice pursuant to Article 7 to the date of termination of this Agreement, to negotiate to enter into one or more throughput, tankage or transportation services agreements for HFRM’s Minimum Capacity Commitment for the such group of Applicable Assets with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination; provided, however, that at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Applicable Term, HFRM will have the right to enter into a new throughput, tankage agreement with HEP Operating with respect to its existing Minimum Capacity Commitment at such time on commercial terms that substantially

Exhibit C-8


Applicable Tariff Adjustments

FERC Adjustment:

Each Applicable Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each index year during the Applicable Term by an amount equal to the percentage change, if any, between the two (2) immediately preceding index years, in the Federal Energy Regulation Commission Oil Pipeline Index (the “FERC Oil Pipeline Index”); provided, however, that if the percentage change, if any, between the two (2) immediately preceding index years in the FERC Oil Pipeline Index is negative, then there will be no change to the Applicable Tariffs.

PPI Adjustment:

Each Applicable Tariff shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar 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. The series ID is WPUFD49207 as of June 1, 2016 – located at http://www.bls.gov/data/. 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 2014 change is: [PPI (2013) – PPI (2012)] / PPI (2012) or (197.3 – 193.3) / 193.3 or .021 or 2.1%. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the tariff unless the tariff is subject to a minimum increase as defined elsewhere in Exhibit C.

Index no longer Published

If the either index is no longer published, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index (as applicable) 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 tariffs. If the Parties are unable to agree, a new index will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Omnibus Agreement, and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the tariffs.

Measurement of Shipped Volumes

 

Applicable Asset

  

Type of Applicable Asset

  

Measurement of Volumes

Malaga Pipeline System    Pipelines   

Quantities shipped on the Malaga Pipeline System shall be determined by measuring unique barrels of Crude Oil (either by counting barrels or calculating barrels based on available meter data) shipped on the following origin and destination pairings:

 

Whites City Road Station to HEP Artesia Station

Whites City Road Station to Beeson Station

Whites City Road Station to Plains Pipeline Bisti Connection

HEP Artesia Station to Beeson Station

HEP Artesia Station to Plains Pipeline Bisti Connection

Beeson Station to Plains Pipeline Bisti Connection

 

The origin and destination pairings listed above utilize the following segments of the Pipeline System:

Whites City Road Station to HEP Artesia Station (8-inch)

HEP Artesia Station to Beeson Station (8-inch)

Beeson Station to Plains Pipeline Bisti Connection (12-inch)

 

Shipments on any other segments of the Malaga Pipeline System will be charged the then-current tariff and fees under the Crude Agreement.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, a barrel shipped on multiple segments of the Malaga Pipeline System shall only be counted as one barrel in satisfaction of the Minimum Throughput Commitment and shall not count as a separate barrel on each such segment. For example, a barrel shipped from Whites City Road Station to the Plains Pipeline Bisti Connection shall count as one barrel in satisfaction of the Minimum Throughput Commitment, and not as three barrels since it flows on three segments of the Malaga Pipeline System.

El Dorado Assets    Pipelines   

Pipeline delivery throughput shall be determined by the shipments of Products by pipeline (and not over the Loading Racks) from the El Dorado Refinery.

 

   Tankage    Tankage throughput shall be determined by the sum of Products shipped from the El Dorado Refinery but not including shipments of coke and sulfur. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tankage throughput fees shall be paid for movements of Products within the El Dorado Refinery.
   Loading Rack    The Loading Rack Tariff will be paid for all quantities of Products or other materials loaded at the Loading Racks or the asphalt loading rack and any Products or other materials shipped using the weight scales.

Special Provisions: Malaga Pipeline System

1. Construction Projects. HEP Operating has (i) completed the construction projects set forth on Exhibit G-1 and (ii) built the 25 lease connections listed on Exhibit G-2 (the “Devon Lease Connections” and, together with the construction projects set forth on Exhibit G-1, the “Malaga Construction Projects”). With respect to Item 4 listed on Exhibit G-1, HFRM reimbursed HEP Operating 100% of the actual costs and expenses of those Malaga Construction Projects. HEP Operating bore the costs of constructing all of the other Malaga Construction Projects listed on Exhibit G-1 and Exhibit G-2, other than Item 4 on Exhibit G-2.

2. Option to Increase Minimum Capacity Commitment Following the Malaga Initial Period. At the end of the Malaga Initial Period and once-a-year thereafter during the Applicable Term, HFRM shall have the option to increase (but not decrease) the Minimum Capacity Commitment for the Malaga Pipeline System applicable to the remainder of the Applicable Term, which option may be exercised as follows:

2.1 Malaga Capacity Estimate. HFRM may initiate the process by which it will exercise its option by delivering to HEP Operating a written request for a statement of HEP Operating’s good faith estimate of the total uncommitted pipeline capacity for the Malaga Pipeline System that will be available for the remaining Applicable Term (a “Malaga Capacity Estimate”), which request must be made, (i) in the case of the election available at the end of the Malaga Initial Applicable Period, no later than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day before the end of the Malaga Initial Period, and (ii) in the case of the election available at the end of each twelve (12) month period following the end of the Malaga Initial Period (each a “Subsequent Year”), the one-hundred twentieth (120) day before the end of such Subsequent Year.

2.2 Response to Request for Malaga Capacity Estimate. HEP Operating must respond to each request with a written Malaga Capacity Estimate within ten (10) days of HEP Operating’s receipt of such request.

2.3 Malaga Exercise Notice. To exercise its option, HFRM must provide HEP Operating a written notice of exercise (an “Malaga Exercise Notice”) no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Malaga Initial Period or Subsequent Year (as applicable), which Malaga Exercise Notice must contain the amount (stated in bpd) by which HFRM desires to increase the Minimum Capacity Commitment for the Malaga Pipeline System for the next occurring Subsequent Year and the remainder of the Applicable Term. The amount of increase for which HFRM may exercise this option may not exceed the available uncommitted pipeline capacity for the Malaga Pipeline System as stated in the Malaga Capacity Estimate. If no written Malaga Exercise Notice is received by such ninetieth (90th) day, then HFRM will be deemed to have waived its option, though such waiver shall not preclude HFRM from exercising its option in Subsequent Years according the process set forth in this Section 2.

 

Exhibit G-1


2.4 Increase in Minimum Capacity Commitment and Minimum Throughput Commitment. If HFRM timely exercises its option at the end of the Malaga Initial Period or a Subsequent Year in accordance with this Section 2, then, with respect to the next Subsequent Year and the remainder of the Applicable Term thereafter:

(a) the Minimum Capacity Commitment for the Malaga Pipeline System shall be increased by the amount specified in the Malaga Exercise Notice; and

(b) the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be increased by an amount equal to the increase in the Minimum Capacity Commitment for the Malaga Pipeline System.

For example, if HFRM exercises its option at the end of the Malaga Initial Period to increase the Minimum Capacity Commitment for the Malaga Pipeline System from 40,000 bpd to 50,000 bpd (a 25% increase), then the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be increased to equal 50,000 bpd (a 25% increase). This will have the effect of increasing the Minimum Pipeline Revenue Commitment by the operation of Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement.

3. Third Party Shipping. During the Malaga Initial Period, HFRM shall have the exclusive right to utilize the entire capacity of the Malaga Pipeline System. After the end of the Malaga Initial Period, if HEP Operating contracts with third parties to ship Crude Oil on the Malaga Pipeline System thereafter during the Applicable Term, subject to the terms of this Agreement, then HEP Operating may not charge any such third party transportation services fees, throughput fees, or other fees that are equal to or less on a per barrel basis (taking into account all applicable incentive tariffs and surcharges) than those charged to HFRM under this Agreement unless such third party agrees to minimum volume and revenue commitments equal to or in excess of those to which HFRM is subject hereunder. In the event that a third party with whom HEP has contracted agrees to minimum volume and revenue commitments that are equal to those to which HFRM is subject hereunder, and the transportation services fees, throughput fees, or other fees are less on a per barrel basis (taking into account all applicable incentive tariffs and surcharges) than those charged to HFRM under this Agreement, then the tariff rates charged to HFRM under this Agreement shall be automatically reduced to be equal to such third party tariff rates.

4. Storage. In addition, following the Malaga Commencement Date, HEP Operating agrees, for no additional fees, to provide storage services of up to 70,000 barrels with regard to Crude Oil shipped using the Malaga Pipeline System (30,000 barrels at the Whites City Road Station and 40,000 barrels at the Beeson Station) and provide limited in-tank Crude Oil blending services when operationally feasible at the HEP Operating Artesia Station to the specifications of HFRM, as such specifications may be adjusted from time to time.

5. Additional Applicable Tariff. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Applicable Tariffs are in addition to tariffs applicable to volumes shipped on the Devon Lease Connections pursuant to the Crude Agreement.

HFRM may request HEP Operating to connect the El Dorado Crude Tankage to new pipelines, whether owned by third parties or by HFRM, subject to HEP Operating’s approval of such connections and the engineering standards related to such; HEP Operating will not unreasonably withhold such approval. If HEP Operating approves any new connection requested by HFRM, HFRM will reimburse HEP Operating the actual expenses incurred by HEP Operating that are associated with such connection, plus an administrative charge of fifteen percent (15%). In addition, the Minimum Throughput Commitment will be increased to account for any additional expense HEP Operating bears in connection with ongoing operating expenses associated with such requested pipeline connection. Any HEP Operating expenditures requested by HFRM beyond pipeline connections will be negotiated separately.

 

2.

Tank Use. HEP Operating shall make available to HFRM on an exclusive basis the shell capacity, minimum and maximum capacities, and working capacity for the El Dorado Crude Tankage. HEP Operating will make at least two (2) of such tanks available for blending services at all times during the Applicable Term. HEP Operating and HFRM will work together to assign minimum and maximum capacities of each tank within sixty (60) days following the commencement of the Applicable Term. These minimum and maximum capacities will be set to allow the most working capacity available to HFRM within reasonable industry practices. The minimum and maximum capacity for each tank will be used to determine the working capacity of each tank (calculated by subtracting the minimum capacity from the maximum capacity for each Tank) (the “Working Capacity”). Once the Working Capacity is agreed upon, HEP may assign, in its sole discretion, new maximum and minimum capacities to each tank if required to allow for safe operation. If HEP determines it is necessary to reduce the aggregate Working Capacity to less than 650,000 Barrels (as such volume may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 of this Exhibit K (the “El Dorado Minimum Working Capacity”), the Minimum Throughput Commitment will be reduced proportionately. HFRM may deliver or have delivered Product into the El Dorado Crude Tankage from the El Dorado Refinery, the Pony Express Pipeline, the Osage Pipeline the Rose Rock Pipeline or the MVP Pipeline. HFRM agrees not to deliver to the Terminal any Products which fail to meet the El Dorado Quality Specifications, or which would in any way be injurious to the El Dorado Crude Tankage, or that may not lawfully be handled in the Tankage. HFRM shall be responsible for and pay for all damages resulting from handling of any Products by HFRM, its designee, or its consignee; provided, however, so long as the Products meet the El Dorado Quality Specifications, HFRM shall not be responsible for damages arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of HEP, its agents, employees or contractors or from ordinary wear and tear.

 

3.

Terminal Maintenance, Changes, or Installations. HEP Operating shall make the El Dorado Crude Tankage available for HFRM’s exclusive use except for times at which a tank must be taken

 

Exhibit K-1


  out of service for routine maintenance, in which event HEP Operating will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of the outage. HEP Operating may take more than one tank out of service due to unplanned maintenance, environmental, or operational occurrences and may schedule more than one tank out of service if the duration is minimal (i.e. less than 1 week for seal inspection or mixer repair on top of an API 653 of another tank), but HEP Operating will not schedule more than one tank out of service for extended overlapping periods (e.g., two API 653s at the same time overlapping 1+ weeks). HEP Operating will provide HFRM written notice at least forty-five (45) days prior to any scheduled maintenance, changes or installations affecting the El Dorado Crude Tankage. In the event HEP Operating cannot provide any or all of the services during any maintenance, changes or installations within the El Dorado Terminal, or if such maintenance, changes or installations causes HEP Operating to take any tank out of service and HEP Operating does not provide a substitute tank in the place of such tank, the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be reduced by the Working Capacity of such out-of-service tank for the duration of such outage.

 

4.

Right of First Refusal. HEP Operating may not lease or pledge or commit to provide any storage services with respect to the El Dorado Crude Tankage or the Jayhawk Tankage (after the expiration of the Jayhawk Lease) at the El Dorado Terminal to a third party unless HEP Operating first offers to HFRM the exclusive right to use the Working Capacity of such tanks on substantially the same terms as HEP Operating has previously negotiated with a third party in arms-length negotiations. HFRM will have thirty (30) days (the “El Dorado Crude Tank Farm Consideration Period”) to consider the option to utilize such Working Capacity and to provide notice to HEP Operating of its election to accept or decline such Working Capacity. If HFRM has not notified HEP Operating within 30 days, then HEP Operating may proceed to enter into an agreement with the third party for such Working Capacity; provided, however, that if HEP Operating does not enter into an agreement with the third party within sixty (60) days following HFRM’s notice to decline or the expiration of the El Dorado Crude Tank Farm Consideration Period, then HFRM’s rights under this Section 4 will apply to any subsequent bona fide third party offer to HEP Operating regarding such Working Capacity.

 

5.

Jayhawk Tankage. In the event that the Jayhawk Lease expires or is otherwise terminated or cancelled for any reason and the Jayhawk Tankage are not leased within a reasonable time (not to exceed sixty 60) days) to a third party as contemplated by Section 4 of this Exhibit K, HEP Operating agrees to make the Working Capacity of the Jayhawk Tankage available for HFRM’s exclusive use, and HFRM agrees to increase the Minimum Throughput Commitment by an amount equal to (a) the monthly storage fee that Jayhawk paid to HEP Operating during the last 12 months of the Jayhawk Lease, divided by the Working Capacity of the Jayhawk Tankage, and the El Dorado Minimum Working Capacity shall be increased by an amount equal to two-thirds (2/3) of the Working Capacity of such Jayhawk Tankage. HFRM’s use of the Jayhawk Tankage will be added to this Agreement as an amendment with all terms and conditions being consistent with this Agreement, and thereafter the term “El Dorado Crude Tankage” as used herein shall include the Jayhawk Tankage.

 

6.

Right to Refuse. HEP Operating reserves the right to refuse receipt of any Product into the El Dorado Terminal, alternatively route such Product to another location, or take other appropriate action in regards to such Product if Product does not meet the El Dorado Quality Specifications. HFRM, if requested in writing, will provide HEP Operating with notice setting forth the quantity, quality, and specifications of Product to be delivered a minimum of four (4) hours prior to any delivery to the El Dorado Terminal. Any reasonable costs incurred by HEP Operating in connection with addressing or handling HFRM’s Product that does not meet the El Dorado Quality Specifications shall be borne by HFRM.

 

Exhibit K-2


7.

Terminal Damage or Destruction. If any part of the El Dorado Terminal or the El Dorado Crude Tankage are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, HEP Operating shall have the discretion to reduce receipts into and deliveries out of the El Dorado Terminal and to allocate any remaining El Dorado Terminal capacity and throughput fairly and reasonably among various customers utilizing terminalling services at the El Dorado Terminal. HEP Operating may, but shall not be obligated to, repair or replace such damaged or destroyed terminal facilities or Tanks.

 

8.

Delivery Lines. The El Dorado Crude Tankage is connected to the El Dorado Refinery by two 16” delivery lines, together with associated piping necessary for Product movements into and out of the El Dorado Crude Tankage (the “El Dorado Delivery Lines”). HEP Operating will operate the El Dorado Delivery Lines for HFRM’s exclusive use. HEP Operating will operate one of the 16” El Dorado Delivery Lines for Product movements from the El Dorado Crude Tankage to the El Dorado Refinery with a capacity to deliver (a) 130,000 bpd based on a maximum viscosity of 350 SUS at 60 degrees Fahrenheit when operating only one El Dorado Delivery Line, and (b) 165,000 bpd based on a maximum viscosity of 350 SUS at 60 degrees Fahrenheit when operating both El Dorado Delivery Lines. HEP Operating will operate the other 16” El Dorado Delivery Line for bidirectional use. HEP Operating will maintain the El Dorado Delivery Lines to gravity feed Product to the El Dorado Refinery or, upon request of HFRM, to pump Product to the El Dorado Refinery at a pressure of at least 25 psig (when operating one El Dorado Delivery Line) and 50 psig (when operating both El Dorado Delivery Lines), as measured at the El Dorado Refinery receipt point. HEP Operating will maintain at least two (2) full-sized pumps for this service and will operate the pumps at HFRM’s request.

 

9.

Products Testing. At HFRM’s request and upon HEP Operating’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, HEP Operating shall provide sampling and testing services for HFRM’s Products at the El Dorado Terminal. All fees for Product testing shall be billed to HFRM at HEP Operating’s actual cost.
