to the terms of this Agreement, including forfeiture in accordance with

distribution. Any rights and privileges of the Employee in connection
herewith shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Employee or by any other person or persons, in any way, whether by
operation of law, or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment, garnishment or similar process. In the event of any such
occurrence, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated and shall
5
thereafter be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or some of the
Restricted Units or rights under this Agreement may be transferred to a spouse
pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction, subject to the limitations on such transfer described in Section
5.
7. Adjustment of Restricted Units. The number of Restricted Units granted
to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect
distributions of the Partnership paid in units, unit splits or other changes in
the capital structure of the Partnership, all in accordance with the Plan. All
provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable to such new or additional or
different units or securities distributed or issued pursuant to the Plan to the
same extent that such provisions are applicable to the units with respect to
which they were distributed or issued. In the event that the outstanding Units
(as defined in the Plan) of the Partnership are exchanged for a different number
or kind of units or other securities, or if additional, new or different units
are distributed with respect to the Units (as defined in the Plan) through
merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership, each remaining unit subject to this Agreement shall have
substituted for it a like number and kind of units or shares of new or
replacement securities as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.
8. Delivery of Vested Units. No Vested Units shall be delivered pursuant to
this Agreement until the approval of any governmental authority required in
connection with this Agreement, or the issuance of Vested Units hereunder, has
been received by the Company.
9. Securities Act. The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cause the Restricted Units to be registered under the appropriate
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
shall not be required to deliver any Vested Units hereunder if, in the opinion
of counsel for the Company, such delivery would violate the Securities Act of
1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.
10. Federal and State Taxes. The Employee may incur certain liabilities for
Federal, state or local taxes and the Company may be required by law to withhold
such taxes for payment to taxing authorities. If the Employee makes the election
permitted by section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxes shall be due
and payable for the year in which this Agreement is executed. If the Employee
does not make such election, the taxes shall be payable for the year in which
the restrictions lapse pursuant to Section 4. Upon determination of the year in
which such taxes are due and the determination by the Company of the amount of
taxes required to be withheld, if any, the Employee shall either pay to the
Company, in cash or by certified or cashier's check, an amount equal to the
taxes required to be paid on such transaction, or the Employee shall authorize
the Company to withhold from monies owing by the Company to the Employee an
amount equal to the amount of federal, state or local taxes required to be
withheld. Authorization of the Employee to the Company to withhold taxes
pursuant to this Section 10 shall be in form and content acceptable to the
Committee. An authorization to withhold taxes pursuant to this provision shall
be irrevocable unless and until the tax liability of the Employee has been fully
paid. In the event that the Employee fails to make arrangements that are
acceptable to the Committee for providing to the Company, at the time or times
required, the amounts of federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld
with respect to the Restricted Units granted to the Employee under this
Agreement, the Company shall have the right to
6
purchase at current market price as determined by the Committee and/or to sell
to one or more third parties in either market or private transactions sufficient
Vested Units to provide the funds needed for the Company to make the required
tax payment or payments.
11. Definitions; Copy of Plan. To the extent not specifically provided
herein, all terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings ascribed
to them in the Plan. By the execution of this Agreement, the Employee
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. If any provision of this Agreement
is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then
such provision will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to
render it legal, valid and enforceable; and if such provision cannot be so
modified, then this Agreement will be construed as if not containing the
provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will
be construed and enforced accordingly.
12. Administration. This Agreement shall at all times be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee shall have sole and complete
discretion with respect to all matters reserved to it by the Plan and decisions
of a majority of the Committee with respect thereto and this Agreement shall be
final and binding upon the Employee and the Company. In the event of any
conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall control.
13. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed
to confer upon the Employee any right to continue as an Employee of the Company
and shall not limit the right of the Company, in its sole discretion, to
terminate the service of the Employee at any time.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered
under the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any conflict of
laws provisions.
15. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement
executed by the Company and the Employee. Any such amendment shall be made only
upon the mutual consent of the parties, which consent (of either party) may be
withheld for any reason.
16. No Liability for Good Faith Determinations. The General Partner, the
Partnership, the Company, Holly and the members of the Committee, the Board and
the Holly Board shall not be liable for any act, omission or determination taken
or made in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the Restricted Units
granted hereunder.
17. No Guarantee of Interests. The Board, the Holly Board, the General
Partner, the Partnership, Holly and the Company do not guarantee the Units (as
defined in the Plan) from loss or depreciation.
