election and by or through Trustee or otherwise, exercise any or all of
the following rights, remedies and recourses:

take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts
relating thereto. If Grantor remains in possession of all or any part of

prior written consent thereto, Beneficiary may invoke any and all legal
remedies to dispossess Grantor, including specifically one or more actions
for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title and writ of

otherwise use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property, either itself
or by other Persons, firms or entities, in such manner, for such time and

thereto, from time to time, as Beneficiary shall deem necessary or
desirable), and apply all amounts collected by Trustee or Beneficiary in
connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.8.

of any legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of
competent jurisdiction as a matter of strict right and without notice to
Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the
satisfaction of the Obligations for appointment of a receiver of the
Mortgaged Property, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to such
appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties
of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain
and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be
approved by the court.

(d) OTHER. Exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses
granted under this Deed of Trust.

all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Pipelines Agreement and,

and same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (b) may be pursued
separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others
obligated under this Deed of Trust, or against the Mortgaged Property, or
against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary;
(c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being
agreed by Grantor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any
other right, remedy or recourse; and (d) are intended to be, and shall be,
nonexclusive.
8.3 OBLIGATIONS. Neither Grantor, HEP nor any other Person hereafter obligated
for performance or fulfillment of all or any of the Obligations shall be

provisions of this Deed of Trust; (b) the release, regardless of
consideration, of the Mortgaged Property or the addition of any other
property to the Mortgaged Property; (c) any agreement or stipulation

given notice to or paid any consideration to Grantor or such other Person,
and in such event Grantor and all such other Persons shall continue to be
liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or
modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged in writing
by Beneficiary; or (d) by any other act or occurrence save and except the
complete fulfillment of all of the Obligations.
8.4 RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary may release, regardless
of consideration, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the
remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the
lien or security interest created in or evidenced by this Deed of Trust or
their stature as a lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged
Property.
8.5 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION, NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives and releases (a) all benefits that might accrue to Grantor by
virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property from
attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement,
valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or
extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or
of Trustee's election to exercise or his actual exercise of any right,
remedy or recourse provided for under this Deed of Trust; and (c) any

State of New Mexico shall be limited to one (1) month.
8.7 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to
invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Deed of Trust

Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such an
event, Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions
with respect to the Obligations, the Security Documents, the Mortgaged
Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of
Beneficiary shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

Lienholder arising under or pursuant to the Senior Liens, and the terms

ARTICLE 9
SECURITY AGREEMENT
9.1 SECURITY INTEREST. This Deed of Trust shall be construed as a deed of
trust on real property and it shall (subject to the Senior Liens) also
constitute and serve as a "Security Agreement" on personal property within
the meaning of, and shall constitute a security interest under, the
Uniform Commercial Code (as the same is codified and in effect in New
Mexico) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases. To this end,
Grantor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, AND SET
OVER, and by these presents does GRANT, BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER
AND SET OVER, unto Trustee and unto Beneficiary, a security interest in
all of Grantor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Personalty, Fixtures and Leases to secure the full and timely performance
and discharge of the Obligations, subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances.
9.2 FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file such
"Financing Statements," and Grantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver
such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, consider
reasonably necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary's
security interest herein granted and Beneficiary may cause such statements
and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may
be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such
security interest.
9.3 UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE REMEDIES. Subject, in each case, to the rights of
any Lienholder under or pursuant to the Senior Liens, and the terms and
provisions of the SNDA and this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and/or Trustee
shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses (other than auction and
sale rights) with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures and Leases afforded
to it by the aforesaid Uniform Commercial Code (as the
15
same is codified and in effect in New Mexico) in addition to, and not in
limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by this
Deed of Trust.
9.4 NO OBLIGATION OF TRUSTEE OR BENEFICIARY. The assignment and security
interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute
Trustee or Beneficiary as a trustee in possession of the Mortgaged
Property, to obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to lease the Mortgaged
Property or attempt to do same, or to take any action, incur any expense
or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever.
9.5 FIXTURE FILING. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a "fixture filing" for
all purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as codified and
in effect in New Mexico. All or part of the Mortgaged Property are or are
to become fixtures; information concerning the security interest herein
granted may be obtained at the addresses set forth on the first page
hereof. The address of the Secured Party (Beneficiary) is the address set
forth in Section 1.1(a) and the address of the Debtor (Grantor) is the
address set forth in the opening recital of this Deed of Trust.
9.6 SATISFACTION AND RELEASE. If (a) all Obligations secured hereby shall be
paid, performed and satisfied in full, the Mortgaged Property (or any
portion thereof, in which case the provisions of clauses (i) through (iv)
below shall be applicable only to such portion) shall be sold, consigned,
conveyed or transferred in accordance with the provisions of the Pipelines
Agreement, (c) the Pipelines Agreement shall be terminated, cancelled or
otherwise expire, and the Obligations of HEP set forth in Section 2(c) of
the Pipelines Agreement shall no longer be applicable, and/or (d) at any

credit rating) senior unsecured debt has an Investment Grade Rating (as
hereinafter defined) from both Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MOODY'S")
and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") (or any successor to the
rating business of either thereof), then this Deed of Trust shall be null
and void, (ii) the liens and security interests created by this Deed of
Trust shall be released as promptly as practicable, (iii) the Mortgaged
Property shall revert to Grantor (or the transferee in the case of clause
(b) above) free and clear of the liens and security interests created by
this Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary and Trustee (as applicable) shall
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, instruments of
satisfaction and release that are reasonably requested by Grantor.
Otherwise, this Deed of Trust shall remain and continue in full force and
effect. As used in this Section 9.6, the term "Investment Grade Rating"
shall mean a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by
Moody's, or BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P.
ARTICLE 10
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
10.1 NO REQUIRED ACTION. Trustee shall not be required to take any action
toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created or to
institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in
connection therewith where in his opinion such action will be likely to
involve him in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a
written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests,
unless Trustee is
16
tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to him against any and all
costs, expense and liabilities arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be
responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of the Security
Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency
of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and
makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights,
remedies and recourses of Beneficiary.
10.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the
right to take any and all of the following actions: (a) to select, employ
and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for
Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the
preparation, execution and interpretation of the Security Documents, and
shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of
counsel; (b) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform
any duty hereunder either directly or through his agents or attorneys; (c)
to select and employ, in and about the execution of his duties hereunder,
suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and
attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the
employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act,
default or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert,
agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any
error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise
responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for
Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith; and (d) to take any and all other
lawful action as Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or
enforce Beneficiary's rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally
liable in case of entry by him, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers
herein granted him, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted or
liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the
Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any
instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action
taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good
faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for
expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder and to
reasonable compensation for such of his services hereunder as shall be
rendered. Grantor will, from time to time, pay the compensation due to
Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless
against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by him
in the performance of his duties.
10.3 RETENTION OF MONEYS. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which
they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any
other moneys (except to the extent required by law) and Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder.
10.4 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such
resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or
become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or shall
fail or refuse to execute the same when requested by Beneficiary so to do,
or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute
trustee to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have
full power to appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several
substitute trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
properties, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed
17
Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of
Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment
be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such
appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority
and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the Board
of Directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby
ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or
his successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue
hereof.
10.5 PERFECTION OF APPOINTMENT. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of
any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully
and certainly vest in and confirm to such new Trustee such estates,
rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, any and all
such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed,
acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed
by Grantor.
10.6 SUCCESSION INSTRUMENTS. Any new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the
provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts
of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written
request of Beneficiary or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to
act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties,
rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such
Trustee to the successor Trustee so appointed in its or his place.
10.7 NO REPRESENTATION BY TRUSTEE. By accepting or approving anything required
to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or
Beneficiary pursuant to the Security Documents, including but not limited
to, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss
or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance policy,
neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have warranted,
consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or
legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof,
and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any
warranty, consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or
Beneficiary.
ARTICLE 11

complying with any and all of the Obligations shall be borne solely by
Grantor and/or HEP to the extent provided in the Pipelines Agreement.
11.2 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Security Documents and shall continue in
full force and effect until the Obligations have been performed and
discharged in full.
18
11.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Grantor, upon the request of Trustee or Beneficiary,
will execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such further
instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or
proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Security Documents
and to subject to the liens and security interests thereof any property
intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including
specifically but without limitation, any renewals, additions,
substitutions, replacements, betterments or appurtenances to the then
Mortgaged Property.
11.4 RECORDING AND FILING. Grantor will cause the Security Documents and all
amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be
recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places
as Trustee or Beneficiary shall reasonably request, and will pay all such
recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other
charges.
11.5 NOTICES. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and shall be
considered as properly given if mailed by first-class United States mail,
postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or
by delivering same in person to the intended addressee or by prepaid
telegram. Notice so mailed shall be effective two days following its
deposit. Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and
when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of
Beneficiary and Grantor shall be as set forth in Section 1.1(a) and the
opening recital hereinabove, respectively; provided, however, that either
party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to
any other location within the continental United States by the giving of
thirty (30) days' notice to the other party in the manner set forth
hereinabove.
11.6 NO WAIVER. Any failure by Trustee or Beneficiary to insist, or any
election by Trustee or Beneficiary not to insist, upon strict performance
by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security
Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other
terms, provision or condition thereof and Trustee or Beneficiary shall
have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict
performance by Grantor of any and all of such terms, provisions and
conditions.
11.7 BENEFICIARY'S RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS. If Grantor shall fail,
refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the
Security Documents (after giving effect to any applicable notice and cure
period), then at any time thereafter, and without further notice to or
demand upon Grantor and without waiving or releasing any other right,
remedy or recourse Beneficiary may have because of same, Beneficiary may
(but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for
the account of and at the expense of Grantor, and shall have the right to
enter upon or in the Real Property for such purpose and to take all such
action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem
necessary or appropriate but in any case subject to the rights of any
Lienholder arising under or pursuant to the Senior Liens and the terms and
provisions of the SNDA. If Beneficiary shall elect to pay any Imposition
or other sums due with reference to the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary
may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from
the appropriate Governmental Entity or other issuer thereof without
inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in
19
making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the
Security Documents, Beneficiary shall not be bound to inquire into the
validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance,
claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or
removing the same. Grantor shall indemnify Beneficiary for all losses,
expenses, damage, claims and causes of action, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by
Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.7 or by reason
of any other provision in the Security Documents. All sums paid by
Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 11.7 and all other sums expended by
Beneficiary to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with
interest thereon at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date of such
payment or expenditure, shall be secured by the Security Documents and
shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary upon demand.
11.8 COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND. All Obligations contained in the Security
Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be construed as,
covenants running with the Mortgaged Property.
11.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All of the terms of the Security Documents shall
apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto,
their successors and assigns, and all other Persons claiming by, through
or under them.
11.10 SEVERABILITY. The Security Documents are intended to be performed in
accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal
Requirements. If any provision of any of the Security Documents or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason
and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable neither the remainder of
the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of
such provision to other Persons or circumstances nor the other instruments
referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather shall be
enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
11.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION. The Security Documents contain the
entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative thereto which are not
contained herein or therein are terminated. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Grantor and, by its acceptance hereof, Beneficiary
hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that any of the terms or
provisions of this Deed of Trust conflict with any terms or provisions of
the Pipelines Agreement, the terms or provisions of the Pipelines
Agreement shall govern and control for all purposes. The Security
Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or
terminated orally but only by a written instrument or instruments (a)
executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment,
revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted, and (b)
consented to by the Lienholders to the extent any such amendment,
revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination would be materially
adverse to the rights of any such Lienholder. Any alleged amendment,
revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so
documented shall not be effective as to any party.
20

counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together
shall constitute but one instrument.

according to the laws of the State of New Mexico (excluding any conflicts
of law, rule or principle that might refer such matters to the laws of
another jurisdiction).
11.14 NO PARTNERSHIP. Nothing contained in the Security Documents is intended
to, or shall be construed as, creating to any extent and in any manner
whatsoever, any partnership, joint venture, or association between
Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary, or in any way make Beneficiary or
Trustee coprincipals with Grantor with reference to the Mortgaged
Property, and any inferences to the contrary are hereby expressly negated.
11.15 HEADINGS. The Article, Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter,
modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles,
Sections or Subsections.
11.16 WAIVER OF STAY, MORATORIUM, AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Grantor agrees, to the
full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time
insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement,
valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or
moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or
hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the
indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Grantor and
Beneficiary or any rights or remedies Beneficiary may have thereunder,
hereunder or by law.
11.17 TRANSFER OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. No sale, lease, exchange, assignment,
conveyance or other transfer (each, a "TRANSFER") of the Mortgaged
Property will extinguish the lien or security interest created by this
Deed of Trust, except to the extent provided in Section 9.6 of this Deed
of Trust or in the Pipelines Agreement. As a condition to any Transfer,
Beneficiary may (a) require the express assumption of the Obligations by
the transferee (with or without the release of Grantor from liability in
respect thereof), and (b) require the execution of an assumption
agreement, modification agreements, supplemental security documents and
financing statements satisfactory in form and substance to Beneficiary.
11.18 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Grantor and Beneficiary agree to execute and

statements, if true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the
Pipelines Agreement is in full force and effect, (b) the date through
which payments have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the
term of the Pipelines Agreement, (d) the nature of any amendments or

knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts which with
the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists
under the Pipelines Agreement, (f) to such party's actual knowledge
without investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or
counterclaims exist against the other party under the Pipelines Agreement,
and (g) such other factual matters as may be reasonably requested.

understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written,
with respect to the matters addressed in this Deed of Trust. THE WRITTEN

Secured Obligations (as defined in the Senior Mortgage), referred to herein as
the "SENIOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS") and Administrative Agent has agreed that it
and any such Purchaser at foreclosure of the Senior Mortgage shall recognize and
not disturb or extinguish the Holly Mortgage, all on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
Attachment 1-2
AGREEMENTS:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10) and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Administrative Agent and Holly hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
1. SUBORDINATION OF HOLLY MORTGAGE.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 hereof, the
Subordinated Liens of Holly under the Holly Mortgage and all of the terms,
covenants and provisions of the Holly Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and
options of Holly thereunder, are and shall at all times continue to be subject,
subordinate and inferior in all respects to the Senior Loan Documents and any
Future Senior Mortgage and to the liens and security interests thereof and to
all amendments, modifications, and replacements thereof, with the same force and
effect as if the Senior Loan Documents, or if applicable, the Future Senior
Mortgage, had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution,
delivery and recordation of the Holly Mortgage. This Agreement is not intended,
and shall not be construed, to (i) subordinate the rights and interests of Holly
under the Pipelines Agreement (including Holly's right to quiet enjoyment under
the Pipelines Agreement or any claims, remedies or damages that may be due or
available to, or become due or available to, Holly under the Pipelines
Agreement), or subordinate the Holly Mortgage to any mortgage, deed of trust,
assignment, security agreement, financing statement or other security document,
other than, with respect to clause (ii), the Senior Loan Documents and the
Future Senior Mortgage. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair, as between HEP
or Operating, on the one hand, and Holly, on the other hand, the obligations of
HEP and Operating, which are absolute and unconditional, to perform the HEP
Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Holly Mortgage to the
contrary, Holly hereby acknowledges and agrees, and HEP Pipeline by its consent
to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees, that (i) in the event that any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of
the Holly Mortgage, the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall govern and
control for all purposes; and (ii) without the written prior consent of the
Administrative Agent or the beneficiary of any Future Senior Mortgage (together
with the Credit Parties, the "SENIOR BENEFICIARIES"), neither Holly nor HEP
Pipeline (nor any future owner of the Mortgaged Property) will amend, revise,
supplement, replace, restate, or otherwise modify the Holly Mortgage if such
amendment, revision, supplement, replacement, restatement or other modification
would be materially adverse to the rights of any Senior Beneficiary.
2. RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PRIORITIES. Subject to the provisions of Section 1,
Section 3 and Section 4 hereof:
(a) Until the Senior Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid
in full, all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement (or if
applicable, any agreement governing obligations secured by a Future Senior
Mortgage) have terminated, and all letters of credit issued thereunder have been
terminated and returned (the "SENIOR OBLIGATIONS PAYMENT
Attachment 1-3
DATE"), Holly will not (i) commence any foreclosure (whether a judicial
foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure) of the Holly Mortgage, (ii) accept a
deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) otherwise exercise any of its
rights or remedies under the Holly Mortgage, or (iv) take any Enforcement
Action.
(b) Holly agrees that, until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has
occurred:
(i) it will not take or cause to be taken any action, the
purpose or effect of which is to make any Subordinated Lien pari passu with or
senior to, or to give Holly any preference or priority relative to, the liens
and security interests with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations;
(ii) it will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or
delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without
limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding (as herein defined)) or
otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition
of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Holly Mortgage and with the same
meaning herein as therein defined) by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or any
other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf of any of the Senior
Beneficiaries;
(iii) it has no right to (x) direct any of the Senior
Beneficiaries to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the
Mortgaged Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior
Mortgage or (y) consent or object to the exercise by any of the Senior
Beneficiaries of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage
or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised
(or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (iii),
whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive
such right);
(iv) it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or
assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against
any of the Senior Beneficiaries seeking damages from or other relief by way of
specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and none of
the Senior Beneficiaries shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of the Senior Beneficiaries with respect to the Mortgaged Property
or pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage; and
(v) the Senior Beneficiaries shall have the prior right to
collect and receive any and all proceeds which may be paid or distributed in
respect of the Mortgaged Property in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise
arising from any sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property.
(c) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, Holly
agrees that it shall not, in, or in connection with, any Insolvency Proceeding,
file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of
any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case, that is
inconsistent with the terms or spirit of, or intent of the parties
Attachment 1-4
with respect to, this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to
the determination of any liens or claims held by any of the Senior Beneficiaries
(including the validity and enforceability thereof) or the value of any claims
of such parties under the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided
that Holly may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the
limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms
and the limitations imposed hereby; provided further, that if no proof of claim
is filed in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the HEP Obligations by the
10th day prior to the bar date for such proof of claim, the Senior Beneficiaries
may (but shall have no duty or obligation to), after notice to Holly, file such
proof of claim, provided that the foregoing shall not confer to any Senior
Beneficiary the right to vote on behalf of Holly in any insolvency proceeding.
(d) Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether
or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the owner of
the Mortgaged Property, any of the Senior Beneficiaries shall have the exclusive
right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, without any consultation with or consent of Holly. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the Senior
Loan Documents or any Future Senior Mortgage, any of the Senior Beneficiaries
may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Secured
Obligations and the Mortgaged Property in such order and manner as they may
determine in their sole discretion.
(e) To the extent required, Holly hereby consents to the liens and
security interests created by the Senior Mortgage and any Future Senior
Mortgage, and Holly shall not object to or contest, or support any other person
or entity in contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without
limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection,
priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged
Property granted in favor of any of the Senior Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding
any failure by any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Holly or their respective
representatives to perfect their liens in the Mortgaged Property or any
avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of
competent jurisdiction of the liens in the Mortgaged Property granted in favor
of any of the Senior Beneficiaries or Holly, the priority and rights as between
any of the Senior Beneficiaries and Holly and its representatives with respect
to the Mortgaged Property shall be as set forth herein.
As used in this Section 2, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"ENFORCEMENT ACTION" means any demand for payment or acceleration thereof,
the bringing of any lawsuit or other proceeding, the exercise of any rights and
remedies, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, any
enforcement or foreclosure of any lien or security interest, any sale in lieu of
foreclosure, the taking of possession, exercise of any offset, repossession,
garnishment, sequestration or execution, any collection of any Mortgaged
Property, any notice to account debtors on any Mortgaged Property or the
commencement or prosecution of enforcement of any of the rights and remedies
under the Senior Loan Documents or applicable law, including without limitation
the exercise of any rights of set-off or recoupment, and the exercise of any
rights or remedies of a secured creditor under the uniform commercial code of
any applicable jurisdiction, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended
from time to
Attachment 1-5
time or otherwise; provided, that, neither the exercise or enforcement by Holly
of its rights under the Pipelines Agreement, nor the filing of a proof of claim
in an Insolvency Proceeding, shall constitute an Enforcement Action.
"INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING" means any proceeding in respect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, winding up, receivership, dissolution or assignment for the benefit
of creditors, in each of the foregoing events whether under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time or any similar federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law.
3. RECOGNITION AND NON-DISTURBANCE OF HOLLY MORTGAGE. If Administrative
Agent, any other Credit Party or any other person (Administrative Agent, any
other Credit Party or such other person being herein called a "PURCHASER") shall
become the owner of any part of the Property by reason of the foreclosure
(whether a judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure) of the Senior
Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise (any of such being herein called a "FORECLOSURE EVENT"), then for so
long as the Pipelines Agreement is in effect, the Purchaser shall (i) recognize
the Holly Mortgage, and the Holly Mortgage shall not be terminated or affected
thereby, but shall continue in full force and effect upon all of the terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in the Holly Mortgage, and (ii) be bound by
and subject to all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the
Holly Mortgage; provided, that, the Holly Mortgage shall be subordinated to any
Future Senior Mortgage, regardless of whether such Future Senior Mortgage is a
direct replacement of an existing Senior Mortgage or Security Instrument, and
any such Future Senior Mortgage shall be considered a "Senior Mortgage" for
purposes of this Agreement and the Holly Mortgage. Administrative Agent shall
not claim, or seek adjudication, that the Holly Mortgage has been terminated or
otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure Event.
4. PIPELINES AGREEMENT. Administrative Agent recognizes and confirms that
the Pipelines Agreement, and the rights and interests of Holly thereunder, shall
in no way be restricted, limited or otherwise affected by this Agreement, the
Holly Mortgage, the Senior Mortgage, any Future Senior Mortgage, the Security
Instruments or any liens or security interests thereof; provided, however, that,
Holly agrees that nothing in the Pipelines Agreement shall (a) prevent any
Purchaser or subsequent purchaser from owning or operating the Mortgaged
Property, so long as such Purchaser or subsequent purchaser shall have assumed,
and be in compliance with, HEP's obligations under the Pipelines Agreement and
shall have executed an "SNDA" as defined in, and in accordance with, Article 6
of the Holly Mortgage, or (b) be deemed to invalidate or require the release of
any Senior Beneficiary's liens in the Mortgaged Property in connection with the
exercise by Holly of a purchase option under the Pipelines Agreement or
otherwise. Holly shall not amend, modify or supplement the Pipelines Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Majority Banks (as defined in the
Credit Agreement); provided, that, such amendments, modifications or supplements
may be made without the consent of the Majority Banks if such amendments,
modifications or supplements (i) individually or in the aggregate, are not
materially adverse to the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Financial
Institutions, and (ii) individually or in the aggregate, do not materially
decrease the economic benefit that Operating would have otherwise received
pursuant to such agreement. Administrative Agent, both for itself and for any
Purchaser, further agrees that upon any
Attachment 1-6
Foreclosure Event, the Pipelines Agreement shall not be terminated or affected
thereby, nor shall Holly's right to ship or store petroleum products through the
pipelines or in the terminals, respectively, constituting a portion of the
Property in accordance with the provisions of the Pipelines Agreement (or any
other rights of Holly under the Pipelines Agreement) be affected or disturbed
because of the Foreclosure Event, but rather the Pipelines Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect as direct obligations between the Purchaser
and Holly, upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the
Pipelines Agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall claim,
or seek adjudication, that the Pipelines Agreement has been terminated or
otherwise adversely affected by any Foreclosure Event. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Pipelines Agreement is rejected in bankruptcy
or is otherwise terminated, the Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by Holly,
enter into a Pipelines Agreement with Holly on substantially the same terms (and
with tariffs and minimum volumes commensurate with those then applicable under
the Pipelines Agreement) and conditions as the rejected or terminated Pipelines
Agreement, but having a term commencing on the date on which Purchaser acquired
title to any portion of the Property. The immediately preceding sentence shall
be deemed to be a covenant running with the land and shall be binding on any
person or entity that acquires title to all or party of the Property by, through
or under the Senior Mortgage.
5. ATTORNMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE PIPELINES AGREEMENT. Upon the occurrence
of any Foreclosure Event, Holly shall attorn to the Purchaser, the Purchaser
shall accept such attornment, and the Purchaser and Holly shall be bound to each
other under all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the
Pipelines Agreement; provided, that, except for Holly's express rights and
remedies under the Pipelines Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be
liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty
of HEP or HEP Pipeline (or any owner of the Mortgaged Property prior to such
Purchaser) or obligations accruing prior to Purchaser's actual ownership of the
Property. The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Holly shall
be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new
document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors or assigns of any such party. Holly agrees, however,
to execute and deliver upon the request of Purchaser, any instrument or
certificate which in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser may be necessary or
appropriate to evidence such attornment.
6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Holly agrees to execute and deliver from time to
time, upon the request of any of the Senior Beneficiaries, a certificate
regarding the status of the Pipelines Agreement, consisting of statements, if
true (or if not, specifying why not), (a) that the Pipelines Agreement is in
full force and effect, (b) the date through which payments have been paid, (c)
the date of the commencement of the term of the Pipelines Agreement, (d) the
nature of any amendments or modifications of the Pipelines Agreement, (e) to
Holly's actual knowledge without investigation, no default, or state of facts
which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default,
exists under the Pipelines Agreement, (f) to Holly's actual knowledge without
investigation, no setoffs, recoupments, estoppels, claims or counterclaims exist
against HEP under the Pipelines Agreement, and (g) such other factual matters as
may be reasonably requested.
7. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
Attachment 1-7
8. RELIANCE ON NOTICES. HEP Pipeline agrees that Holly may rely upon any

authorized or required by law to close in Dallas, Texas.
10. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon Administrative
Agent, Holly and any Purchaser and inure to the benefit of the Senior
Beneficiaries and Holly and their respective successors and assigns. HEP
Pipeline has assigned to Administrative Agent its rights hereunder, and HEP has
assigned to Administrative Agent its rights under the Pipelines Agreement by way
of a collateral assignment. The parties agree that any person that shall become
the owner of any of the rights of HEP Pipeline hereunder, or any of the rights
of HEP under the Pipelines Agreement by reason of foreclosure (whether a
judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure and including, without
limitation, Administrative Agent) or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise shall (i) have the same rights as HEP Pipeline
hereunder, and HEP under the Pipelines Agreement, including, without limitation,
