In connection with that transaction, Holly purchased for cash 2,503 Common Units from the Issuer. Holly used cash on hand to make this purchase.
     On August 18, 2009, 7,000,000 subordinated units representing limited partner interests in the Issuer (the “Subordinated Units”) held by the General Partner converted into an equal number of Common Units upon satisfaction of the conditions in the Issuer Partnership Agreement (as defined below).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     (a) Although Holly has no obligation to sell assets to the Issuer, and the Issuer has no obligation to purchase from Holly any additional assets, Holly has in the past and may in the future periodically offer the opportunity to purchase from Holly assets related to the Issuer’s business. In the event the Issuer purchases assets from Holly or its affiliates, the Issuer may issue additional securities to Holly and its affiliates or in connection with any financing obtained in connection with such transactions. Certain of the Listed Persons are executive officers and directors of HLS, the general partner of the Issuer’s general partner, and may in the future receive Common Units in consideration for their services to HLS.

     (f) None.
     (g) None.
