The above-named entities are sometimes referred to in this Agreement each as a ?Party? and collectively as the ?Parties.?
R E C I T A L S:
     1. Certain of the Parties are also parties to the Omnibus Agreement entered into as of July 13, 2004, as amended as of the date hereof (the ?Omnibus Agreement?).
     2. The Omnibus Agreement restricts the Holly Entities from engaging in any Restricted Business (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Agreement) to the extent provided in Article II thereof.
     3. Holly has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated June 26, 2007 with Sinclair Transportation Company (?Sinclair?) relating to the facilities and services required to initially transport 62,000 barrels per day of refined petroleum products from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada, including a 12-inch diameter or greater pipeline with an ANSI 600# pressure rating and a length of approximately 400 miles, along with terminals in or near the Cedar City area of Southern Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada (the ?UNEV Project?).
     4. The Parties desire by their execution of this Agreement to evidence their agreement that the provisions of Article II of the Omnibus Agreement shall not apply to the UNEV Project and are hereby waived to such extent and in lieu thereof HEP-Operating shall have an option to purchase the Holly UNEV Interests on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     5. The Parties desire that the exercise price for the option shall be determined based on the principle that HEP-Operating shall acquire the Holly UNEV Interests in exchange for a cash payment equal to the Option Purchase Price.

The Option

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Holly UNEV hereby grants to HEP-Operating an irrevocable option (the ?Option?) to purchase all of the Holly UNEV Interests in the manner set forth below at a purchase price equal to the Option Purchase Price plus or minus the Closing Adjustment Amount payable in immediately available funds; provided, however, that at the election of Holly UNEV made at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Central time on the third business day prior to the Closing (as defined below), up to five percent of the Option Purchase Price shall be payable in Common Units valued based on the average closing price for the five trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the Closing (as defined below).
