C. Section 5.1 of the Option Agreement provides, in part, that if the Closing or the Termination Option Closing has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2009, either Holly UNEV or HEP-Operating has the right to terminate the Option Agreement, and the Parties desire to extend such date to be the date occurring one hundred eighty (180) days after the Project Completion Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants set forth in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby amend the Option Agreement as follows:
1. Project Schedule. The Project Schedule attached as Schedule B to the Option Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the Project Schedule attached as Schedule B to this Amendment is substituted in lieu thereof.
2. Termination. Clause A of Subsection 5.1(a)(ii) of the Option Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety the phrase “(A) the Expiration Date,” substituted in lieu thereof.

 

 


 

3. Force Majeure. Section 5.1(c) of the Option Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.
4. Permitted Transfer. The following Section 3.8 is hereby added to the Option Agreement immediately after Section 3.7.
3.8 Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the earlier of the Closing or the Termination Option Closing, Holly UNEV shall have the right to sell a portion of the Holly UNEV Interests in an amount equal to up to thirty percent (30%) of all outstanding membership interests in UNEV Pipeline after first obtaining HEP-Operating’s prior written consent to such sale, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. From and after the date HEP-Operating provides the written consent contemplated by the immediately foregoing sentence, the Holly UNEV Interests that are the subject of such consent shall no longer be subject to this Agreement and may be sold free and clear of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Option and the Termination Option.
5. General Provisions. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of the Option Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall control. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the parties ratify and affirm the Option Agreement in its entirety, and the Option Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws (excluding the choice of laws rules) 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. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Amendment may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of which when so executed shall constitute in the aggregate but one and the same document.
