Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Supply and Offtake Agreement

On June 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“HIE”), and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Par Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Supply and Offtake Agreement (the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”) with J. Aron & Company, a New York general partnership (“J. Aron”), pertaining to crude oil supply and offtake arrangements for HIE’s Kapolei refinery located in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Refinery”). As a condition precedent to the commencement date of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, the obligations of HIE and Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the sole member of HIE (“HPE”), under (i) the Framework Agreement dated September 25, 2013 (the “Framework Agreement”), among HIE, HPE and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), and (ii) the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of September 25, 2013 (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), among HIE, as borrower, HPE, as guarantor, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “ABL Lenders”), and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and ABL loan collateral agent for the ABL Lenders, as amended, were terminated, other than certain contingent obligations which survive termination, and subject to arrangements made between HIE and Barclays with respect to potential claims.

In connection with the entry into the Supply and Offtake Agreement, HIE entered into the following agreements which relate to supply, marketing and storage of crude oil and refined products including, but not limited to the following (collectively with the Supply and Offtake Agreement, the “Supply Transaction Documents”):

 

    a Storage Facilities Agreement (the “Storage Agreement”) between HIE and J. Aron, whereby HIE grants to J. Aron an exclusive right to use certain storage, loading and offloading facilities located at the Refinery; and

 

    a Marketing and Sales Agreement (the “Marketing Agreement”) between HIE and J. Aron, whereby HIE provides services to assist J. Aron in the marketing and sale of refined products purchased by J. Aron.

During the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, which commenced on June 1, 2015 and ends three years thereafter, subject to two one-year extensions at the mutual agreement of the parties, J. Aron will procure delivery of up to 94,000 barrels per day of crude oil to HIE for processing at the Refinery, and J. Aron will purchase certain petroleum products processed at the Refinery. The Supply and Offtake Agreement includes a deferred payment arrangement whereby HIE can defer payments owed under the agreement in the amount of the lesser of $125 million or 85 percent of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, under the terms of the Supply Transaction Documents, HIE may hedge price risk on its inventories and crude purchases. HIE and J. Aron will engage in other ancillary transactions involving transport, storage, and inventory management, upon and subject to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement. Following expiration or termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, HIE is obligated to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then owned by J. Aron and located at storage facilities leased by HIE to J. Aron at then current market prices.

The obligations of HIE under the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the other Supply Transaction Documents are secured pursuant to the following agreements (collectively, the “Lien Documents”):

 

    a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) between HIE and J. Aron, granting J. Aron a security interest in substantially all of the assets of HIE, and which requires HIE to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business and operations, including limitations with respect to liens, indebtedness, dividends and distributions, hedging, sales of assets and affiliate transactions;

 

    an Equity Pledge Agreement (the “Equity Pledge Agreement”) between HPE, as pledgor, and J. Aron, as pledgee, whereby HPE grants to J. Aron a security interest on the equity interests held by HPE in HIE;

 

    a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Mortgage”) by HIE, as mortgagor, for the benefit of J. Aron, as mortgagee, whereby HIE grants to J. Aron a lien on all real property and improvements owned by HIE and which comprise the Refinery; and

 

    an Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”) by HIE in favor of J. Aron, pursuant to which HIE indemnifies J. Aron for certain environmental liabilities relating to the ownership and operation of the Refinery.
