On March 31, 2015, Par Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Third Merger Agreement Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 2, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Bogey, Inc., a Hawaii corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Koko’oha Investments, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Koko’oha”), and Bill D. Mills, in his capacity as the shareholders’ representative. Pursuant to the Third Merger Agreement Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the amount of the escrow for post-closing claims to $12 million and modify the calculation of the per share merger consideration as it relates to certain escrow fees, and acknowledged the transaction funding mechanisms and treatment of certain third party consents to the merger to be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).

The foregoing description of the Third Merger Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Merger Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4 and incorporated by reference herein.

Bank of Hawaii Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Koko’oha and its wholly owned direct subsidiary, Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mid Pac”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “BOH Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Hawaii, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including American Savings Bank, F.S.B., Central Pacific Bank, Raymond James Bank, N.A. and Bank of Hawaii (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to extend credit to Koko’oha and Mid Pac in the total amount $55.0 million, in the form of a senior secured term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million, including revolving loans (the “Revolving Loan” and together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”) of up to $5.0 million and a letter of credit subfacility of up to $2.0 million. The Lenders advanced the full amount of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan at the closing. The proceeds of the Loans were used to repay certain existing debt of Koko’oha and Mid Pac, to pay a portion of the merger consideration in connection with the consummation of the Merger and for general corporate purposes.

Set forth below are certain of the additional material terms of the BOH Credit Agreement:

Mandatory Prepayments: The BOH Credit Agreement requires the following amounts to be applied to the prepayment of the Loans, unless otherwise approved by the Agent: (i) 100% of all net cash proceeds from sales of the tangible property and assets of Koko’oha, Mid Pac and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, (ii) 100% of any insurance, casualty or condemnation proceeds not utilized to repair the affected asset or reinvested into a replacement asset within 180 days of receipt, and (iii) a percentage of excess cash flow for any fiscal year based on the leverage ratio determined for such fiscal year.

Security and Collateral: The Loans made under the BOH Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Koko’oha, Mid Pac and their subsidiaries, including a pledge of the equity interests of Mid Pac and its subsidiaries.

Covenants: The BOH Credit Agreement requires compliance with various financial covenants that are measured on a quarterly basis, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum tangible net worth. Additionally, the BOH Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants affecting the businesses and operations of Koko’oha, Mid Pac and their subsidiaries.

Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the Term Loan:

Maturity: The Term Loan matures and is fully payable on April 1, 2022. Principal on the Term Loan will be repaid in 28 equal quarterly principal payments over the term.

Interest: The Term Loan will bear interest, at Koko’oha’s and Mid Pac’s election, at a rate equal to (i) 30, 90 or 180 day LIBOR plus a margin, or (ii) the primary interest rate established from time to time by Bank of Hawaii plus a margin. For

both LIBOR and primary interest rate loans, the margin is calculated based on the leverage ratio determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

Prepayment: Koko’oha and Mid Pac may prepay the Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part. Upon any such optional prepayment or any prepayment upon acceleration as a result of an event of default, Koko’oha and Mid Pac are required to pay a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid.

Set forth below are certain material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

Maturity Date: The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 1, 2018. Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility are not to expire beyond the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at Koko’oha’s and Mid Pac’s election, at a rate equal to (a) 30, 90 or 180 day LIBOR plus a margin, or (ii) the primary interest rate established from time to time by Bank of Hawaii plus a margin. For both LIBOR and primary interest rate loans, the margin is calculated based on the leverage ratio determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

Pledge Agreement and Limited Recourse Guaranty

As previously disclosed, on July 11, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into to a Delayed Draw Term Loan and Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Delayed Draw Credit Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Delayed Draw Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Macau55 Ltd., Highbridge International, LLC and Highbridge Tactical Credit & Convertibles Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Term Lenders”). As required by the terms of the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement, on the Effective Date and in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s wholly owned direct subsidiary (“HPE”), delivered to the Delayed Draw Agent, for the benefit of the Term Lenders, a Pledge Agreement (the “HPE Pledge Agreement”) and a Limited Recourse Guaranty (the “HPE Limited Recourse Guaranty”). Pursuant to the HPE Pledge Agreement, HPE pledged and granted a lien, for the benefit of the Term Lenders, on all of its right, title, and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding equity interests issued by Koko’oha. Under the HPE Limited Recourse Guaranty, HPE guaranteed the payment and performance when due of the obligations under the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement, provided that recourse to pay such guaranteed obligations is limited to the equity interests of Koko’oha pledged by HPE pursuant to the HPE Pledge Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the HPE Pledge Agreement and the HPE Limited Recourse Guaranty are qualified in their entirety by reference to the HPE Pledge Agreement and the HPE Limited Recourse Guaranty, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the ABL Amendment and Waiver, the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders agreed to amend the ABL Facility to, among other things, (i) waive any violation of the ABL Credit Agreement resulting from the formation of Merger Sub or the ownership of 100% of the equity interests of Merger Sub by HPE and (ii) permit HPE to pledge the equity interests of Koko’oha to the Term Lenders as contemplated by the HPE Pledge Agreement and enter into the HPE Limited Recourse Guaranty.
