Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 28, 2012, Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Holly Energy Finance Corp. (the “Co-Issuer” and together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”) and certain of the Partnership’s existing subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., UBS Securities LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), by which the Partnership and the Co-Issuer agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase, $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) in accordance with a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The sale of the Notes is expected to close on March 12, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Partnership estimates receiving net proceeds of approximately $294.5 million from this offering after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Partnership intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to pay the applicable consideration, accrued and unpaid interest on the tendered notes and related fees and expenses in connection with a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the Partnership’s outstanding 6.25% senior notes due 2015 and consent solicitation from holders of 6.25% senior notes due 2015 and to use the remainder of the net proceeds to pay all or a portion of the principal of the two promissory notes with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $72.9 million that were issued to wholly-owned subsidiaries of HollyFrontier Corporation in connection with the acquisition of certain pipeline, tankage, loading rack and crude receiving assets located at HollyFrontier Corporation’s El Dorado and Cheyenne refineries and to repay indebtedness under the Partnership’s revolving credit agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Partnership, Co-Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.
