Re: Form S-3 Registration Statement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel to Par Hawaii, Inc., a Hawaii corporation, Par Hawaii Refining, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company, and HIE Retail, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (each, individually, a “Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, as the “Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors”), in connection with the registration by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) for the offer and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of, among other things, up to $750,000,000.00 of (i) non-convertible debt securities of the Company (each, a “Debt Security” and, collectively, the “Debt Securities”), consisting of notes, debentures or other evidence of indebtedness; and (ii) guarantees of the Debt Securities that may be issued from time to time by the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors (each, a “Guarantee” and, collectively, the “Guarantees” and, together with the Debt Securities, each, a “Security” and, collectively, the “Securities”), all as more fully described in the Registration Statement.

In connection with the registration of the Securities, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate or company records, and other information as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion letter, including (i) the Registration Statement (including the exhibits thereto), (ii) the articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, operating agreement, and other organizational documents, as applicable of the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors, (iii) the corporate or limited liability company proceedings, as applicable, of the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors, and (iv) the form of the Senior Indenture attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Senior Indenture”) and the form of the Subordinated Indenture attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Subordinated Indenture” and, together with the Senior Indenture, each an “Indenture” and, collectively, the “Indentures”). In addition, we have made those other examinations of law and fact as we considered necessary in our professional judgment to form a basis for our opinions.

As to certain questions of fact material to our opinions that we have not independently established, we have relied upon representations and certificates of public officials and upon representations and certificates from officers and managers of the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors.

In rendering the following opinions, we have assumed (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents reviewed by us, (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to use as certified or photostatic copies, and (v) each natural person signing any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so, none of which facts we have independently verified. We also have assumed the authority of all persons signing on behalf of any of the parties thereto other than the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications stated below, we are of the opinion that with respect to each of the Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantee issued by such Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantor will be legally issued when (a) the applicable Security and any applicable supplemental Security has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by any trustee (identified in the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement or in any prospectus supplement), the Company and such Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other action by such Hawaii Subsidiary Guarantor has been taken to authorize the issuance and the specific terms of such Guarantee, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, and (c) such Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the applicable Debt Security and any applicable supplemental Debt Security.

The opinion expressed above is subject in all respect to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

1. We have assumed that: (a) at the time the Securities are offered as contemplated under the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Securities Act and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such state securities rules, regulations and laws as may be applicable, and the Indentures have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), (b) the Registration Statement will remain effective and comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such
