Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Unloading and Blending Services Agreement
On March 12, 2015, HollyFrontier Refining & Marketing LLC (“HFRM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”), and Holly Energy Partners-Operating, L.P. (“HEP Operating”) and HEP Refining, L.L.C. (“HEP Refining”), both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), entered into an Unloading and Blending Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”). HollyFrontier controls the general partner of the Partnership.
Pursuant to the Services Agreement, HEP Refining has agreed to undertake certain construction projects to facilitate the unloading and blending of ethanol and biodiesel fuel at the refinery owned by Navajo Refining Company, L.L.C. (“Navajo Refining”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier, in Artesia, New Mexico (the “Facility”). The Services Agreement also provides that once the Facility is determined to be operational (the “Facility Commencement Date”), HEP Operating will provide certain unloading and blending services to HFRM and HFRM will pay HEP Operating a base tariff and incentive tariff for each gallon unloaded at the Facility, with a guaranteed minimum throughput revenue commitment of approximately $700,000 per year. The tariffs are subject to various adjustments under the Services Agreement. The Service Agreement’s term ends 20 years following the Facility Commencement Date.
The description of the Services Agreement herein is qualified by reference to the copy of the Services Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, which is incorporated by reference into this report in its entirety.
Amended and Restated Crude Gathering Agreement
On March 12, 2015, Navajo Refining, Holly Refining & Marketing Company – Woods Cross LLC (“HRM – WX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HollyFrontier, HFRM (together with Navajo Refining and HRM - WX, the “HollyFrontier Entities”), HEP Operating, HEP Pipeline, L.L.C.

(“HEP WX” and, together with HEP Operating and HEP Pipeline, the “Partnership Entities”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Crude Pipelines and Tankage Agreement (the “Amended Crude Agreement”). HollyFrontier controls the general partner of the Partnership.
Pursuant to the Amended Crude Agreement, HEP Pipeline has agreed to undertake certain expansion projects at the Beeson station and related to the Beeson Pipeline (the “Beeson to Lovington System Expansion”). The Amended Crude Agreement also provides that once the Beeson to Lovington System Expansion is determined to be operational (the “Expansion Commencement Date”), the HollyFrontier Entities will pay to the Partnership Entities an extra surcharge per barrel (the “Surcharge”) for making shipments of crude oil and service on the trunk lines, and the minimum trunk pipelines revenue commitment under the Amended Crude Agreement will be increased by an amount equal to approximately $900,000 per year. The Surcharge is subject to various adjustments under the Amended Crude Agreement. As previously disclosed, the term of the Amended Crude Agreement ends on February 28, 2023.

The Eleventh Amended Omnibus Agreement amends and restates the Tenth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2014, which was previously filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 29, 2014, to, among other things, subject assets included in the Facility and the Beeson to Lovington System Expansion to HollyFrontier’s right of first refusal to purchase the Partnership’s
