Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On May 5, 2009, Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Common Units Offering”) by the Partnership of 2,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) at $27.80 per common unit. The Partnership has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000 Common Units. The Common Units to be sold in the Common Units Offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-155537). The closing of the Common Units Offering is expected to occur on May 8, 2009 (the “Closing Date”). Legal opinions related to the Common Units are filed as Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
     In the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Underwriting Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
     The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the Common Units Offering of approximately $53.2 million (or approximately $61.2 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option) and the general partner contribution described in the following paragraph, (i) to repay $28.0 million of bank debt incurred to fund its purchase of a 25% interest in the joint venture (the remaining 75% of which is owned by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.) that owns the Salt Lake City Pipeline, (ii) to repay bank debt incurred to date to fund capital projects, which consist primarily of the expansion of the Partnership’s Artesia, New Mexico to El Paso, Texas refined products pipeline and terminal system (referred to as the “South System”) and (iii) for general partnership purposes.
     In connection with the Common Units Offering, on the Closing Date, HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., the general partner of the Partnership, will contribute $1.1 million (or $1.2 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Common Units) to the Partnership in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership.
