WHEREAS, the Partnership Group Members have agreed to provide terminalling, transportation and storage services to Frontier Refining and Frontier El Dorado pursuant to a certain Master Throughput Agreement and refinery processing services pursuant to a certain Master Tolling Agreement;

WHEREAS, the HollyFrontier Group Members have experience and expertise in the maintenance and operation of certain processing, refining, terminalling, transportation and storage assets and the environmental reporting related thereto and can provide or make available to the Partnership Group, personnel, and other resources necessary to perform maintenance, operations and management functions with respect to assets that are owned or leased (in whole or in part) by any Partnership Group Member, or with respect to which any Partnership Group Member has the right or obligation to operate and/or maintain; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, the covenants and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Partnership Group and the HollyFrontier Group, the Partnership Group and the HollyFrontier Group hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Defined Terms

Section 1.01 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 1.02 Terms Generally. Matters relating to the interpretation of this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit B.

ARTICLE II

Services

Section 2.01 HEP Seconded Employees. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the HollyFrontier Group agrees to second certain of its employees to the Partnership Group, and the Partnership Group agrees to accept the secondment of such employees (the “Secondment”) for the purposes of performing operational, maintenance and management activities related to the Assets that are described on Exhibit C and such other services related to the Assets as the Parties may agree upon in writing from time to time (collectively, the “Services”). Each such employee who the HollyFrontier Group seconds to the Partnership Group shall, during the period (and only during the period) that such employee is providing Services to the Partnership Group under this Agreement (the “Period of Secondment”), be referred to individually herein as an “HEP Seconded Employee” and, collectively, as the “HEP Seconded Employees.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that the HEP Seconded Employees will, during the Period of Secondment, be called upon to perform Services for both the applicable Partnership Group Members and the applicable HollyFrontier Group Members, and the Parties intend that such HEP Seconded Employees shall only be seconded to the Partnership Group during those times the HEP Seconded Employees are performing services for the Partnership Group hereunder.

Section 2.02 Personnel and Secondment.

(a) The HollyFrontier Group will provide, or cause to be provided, to the Partnership Group such suitably qualified and experienced HEP Seconded Employees and such other Persons (including consultants and professionals, and service or other organizations) as the HollyFrontier Group is reasonably able to make available to the Partnership Group. The Partnership Group will have the right to approve such HEP Seconded Employees and such other Persons. The HollyFrontier Group does not warrant that the HEP Seconded Employees will permit the Partnership Group to achieve any specific results. Subject to the HollyFrontier Group’s right to be reimbursed for such expenses in accordance with the Accounting Procedures, each HollyFrontier Group Member shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the retention of the HEP Seconded Employees and such other Persons, including, but not limited to, the HEP Seconded Employee Expenses, as defined in Exhibit D. Any such HEP Seconded Employees and other Persons retained by any HollyFrontier Group Member may include employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, in which case the Secondment will be subject to the terms and conditions of any such agreement. The HollyFrontier Group shall have the sole and exclusive right to negotiate the terms and conditions of any labor or other agreements with the unions to which such employees belong.

(b) The HEP Seconded Employees will remain at all times employees of the applicable HollyFrontier Group Member, but, will, at all times during the Period of Secondment, work under the direct management, supervision, direction and control of the applicable Partnership Group Member. HEP Seconded Employees shall have no authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of the HollyFrontier Group during the Period of Secondment.

Section 2.03 Termination of Secondment. The applicable HollyFrontier Group Members retain the right to terminate the Secondment of any HEP Seconded Employee for any reason at any time or to hire, discipline or discharge the HEP Seconded Employees with respect to their employment with the HollyFrontier Group. The applicable Partnership Group Member will have the right to terminate the secondment to it of any HEP Seconded Employee for any reason at any time, upon prior written notice to

the HollyFrontier Group, but at no time will the Partnership Group have the right to terminate any HEP Seconded Employee’s employment by the HollyFrontier Group. Upon the termination of the Secondment of any HEP Seconded Employee, such HEP Seconded Employee will cease performing Services for the Partnership Group and will no longer be subject to the direction by the Partnership Group of the HEP Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities.

Section 2.04 Supervision.

(a) During the Period of Secondment, the Partnership Group shall be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the HEP Seconded Employees during those times that the HEP Seconded Employees are performing services for the Partnership Group hereunder, including supervision of their day-to-day work activities and performance consistent with the job functions associated with the Services. In the course and scope of performing any HEP Seconded Employee’s job functions for the Partnership Group, the HEP Seconded Employee, will report into the Partnership Group’s management structure, and will be under the direct management, supervision, direction and control of the applicable Partnership Group Member with respect to such HEP Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities.

(b) Those active employees whose titles reflect that they serve as supervisors or managers and who are called upon to oversee the work of HEP Seconded Employees related to the Assets or to provide management support on behalf of the Partnership Group are designated by the Partnership Group as supervisors to act on the behalf of the Partnership Group in supervising the HEP Seconded Employees pursuant to Section 2.04(a) above. Any HEP Seconded Employee so designated will be acting on the behalf of the Partnership Group when supervising the work of the HEP Seconded Employees or when they are otherwise providing management or executive support on behalf of the Partnership Group.

(c) Holly GP shall at all times be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of persons employed by Frontier El Dorado and Frontier Refining (and HPS as agent for Frontier El Dorado and Frontier Refining under Section 3504 of the Internal Revenue Code) dedicated to performing services on behalf of the HEP Entities, including supervision of their day-to-day work activities and performance. In the course and scope of performing any HEP Seconded Employee’s job functions for the HEP Entities, the HEP Seconded Employee will be integrated into the organization of the HEP Entities, will report into the HEP Entities’ management structure, and will be under the direct management, supervision, direction and control of the applicable HEP Entity with respect to such HEP Employee’s day-to-day activities. The positions in the HEP Entities to be filled by HEP Seconded Employees are set forth on Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2.

Section 2.05 Benefit Plans. The Partnership Group shall not be a participating employer in any benefit plan of any HollyFrontier Group Member. The HollyFrontier Group shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising with respect to any benefit plans relating to any HEP Seconded Employees and the Partnership Group shall not assume any benefit plan or have any obligations or liabilities arising thereunder, in each case except for costs properly chargeable to the Partnership Group.
