4
Racks on the terms as modified by the determination of the investment banking firm.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Tulsa Refining chooses or is deemed to have chosen not to exercise its option to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks at the price determined by the investment banking firm underSection 2(b), such choice shall not impact its rights to purchase the Tulsa Loading Racks pursuant to thisSection 2 in the future and such rights shall remain in effect and shall not be extinguished until the expiration of the term set forth inSection 2(a).

15
written consent of Tulsa Refining (in the case of any assignment by HEP Tulsa) or HEP Tulsa (in the case of any assignment by Tulsa Refining);provided,however, that (i) HEP Tulsa may make such an assignment (including a partial pro rata assignment) to an Affiliate of HEP Tulsa without Tulsa Refining’s consent, (ii) Tulsa Refining may make such an assignment (including a pro rata partial assignment) to an Affiliate of Tulsa Refining without HEP Tulsa’s consent, (iii) Tulsa Refining may make a collateral assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder and/or grant a security interest in its rights and obligations to all or a portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks to any bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them without HEP Tulsa’s consent, (iv) HEP Tulsa may make a collateral assignment of its rights hereunder and/or grant a security interest in all or a portion of the Tulsa Loading Racks to a bona fide third party lender or debt holder, or trustee or representative for any of them without Tulsa Refining’s consent, if such third party lender, debt holder or trustee shall have executed and delivered to Tulsa Refining a non-disturbance agreement in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Tulsa Refining and such third party lender, debt holder, or trustee, (v) HEP Tulsa may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom it transfers the Tulsa Loading Racks without Tulsa Refining’s consent, and (vi) Tulsa Refining may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party(ies) that acquire the Tulsa Refinery without HEP Tulsa’s consent.

(e) Arbitration Provision. Except as permitted underSection 10(i), any and all Arbitrable Disputes must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between thisSection 10(e) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of thisSection 10(e) will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator
16
Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of any of Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Dallas, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind. The Arbitrable Disputes may be arbitrated in a common proceeding along with disputes under other agreements between Tulsa Refining, HEP Tulsa or their Affiliates to the extent that the issues raised in such disputes are related. Without the written consent of the Parties, no unrelated disputes or third party disputes may be joined to an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.
(g) Headings. Headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever. All references in this Agreement to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.
(h) Limitation of Damages.

17
(x) A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR (y) INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT ARE A RESULT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE).
(i) Security Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a “Security Agreement” on the Tulsa Loading Racks as personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law. To this end, HEP Tulsa grants to Tulsa Refining a security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks to secure the performance of HEP Tulsa hereunder, and agrees that Tulsa Refining shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Tulsa Loading Racks. If HEP Tulsa fails to convey, transfer and assign the Tulsa Loading Racks in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then Tulsa Refining shall be permitted to foreclose on the Tulsa Loading Racks in accordance with and as permitted under the UCC. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Tulsa Refining with respect to the Tulsa Loading Racks sent to HEP Tulsa at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to HEP Tulsa. HEP Tulsa hereby irrevocably authorizes Tulsa Refining at any time and from time to file in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Tulsa Loading Racks, without the signature of HEP Tulsa where permitted by law. Tulsa Refining acknowledges and agrees that its security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks granted hereunder (i) is automatically subordinate to the security interest of Union Bank, N.A. in the Tulsa Loading Racks until the termination or expiration of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 27, 2007, as amended from time to time, among Holly Energy Partners — Operating, L.P., as Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto, and Union Bank, N.A., formerly known as Union Bank of California, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Sole Lead Arranger and (ii) is subject to any Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into among Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Tulsa Refining. Tulsa Refining further agrees to subordinate its security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks granted hereunder to any future security interest in the Tulsa Loading Racks granted by HEP Tulsa in favor of any third-party providing financing to HEP Tulsa, so long as the holder of such future financing executes and delivers to Tulsa Refining a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement recognizing and agreeing not to disturb Tulsa Refining’s rights under this Agreement and the Tulsa Throughput Agreement, and otherwise being in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tulsa Refining.
