WHEREAS, Section 10(f) of the Plan provides that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may amend the Plan under certain circumstances; and

1.    Effective as of the consummation of the Merger, all references in the Plan to “Holly Corporation” and the “Company” are hereby revised to refer to HollyFrontier Corporation, and all references to “Shares” contained in the Plan are hereby revised to refer to the common stock of HollyFrontier Corporation, par value $0.01 per share, and such other securities as may be substituted or resubstituted therefor in accordance with the Plan.

2.    Effective as of August 31, 2011, and in accordance with the adjustment provisions set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, the share limitations in the Plan shall be adjusted to reflect the two for one stock split effected by the Company on August 31, 2011, as follows:







Section 4(a) of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
(a) Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery.  Subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan, the total number of Shares that may be delivered in connection with Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 12,000,000, including all Shares delivered with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the Amendment Effective Date.
