ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION
Corporate Offices

offices expires in 2021. Functions performed in the Dallas office include overall corporate management, refinery and HEP
management, planning and strategy, corporate finance, crude acquisition, logistics, contract administration, marketing, investor

Employees and Labor Relations
As of December 31, 2014, we had 2,686 employees, of which 899 are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements
having various expiration dates between 2015 and 2018. We consider our employee relations to be good.
In early February 2015, we received communications from the United Steelworkers Union representing employees at our El Dorado
and Woods Cross Refineries of its intention to commence a work stoppage in early May 2015 and could receive a similar
communication from the United Steelworkers Union representing employees at our Cheyenne Refinery. We have plans allowing
for the continued operations of all three refineries in the event the union does commence a work stoppage and believe such plans
are adequate to allow continued operations of all three refineries.
Regulation
Refinery and pipeline operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of substances into
the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Permits or other authorizations are required under
these laws for the operation of our refineries, pipelines and related facilities, and these permits and authorizations are subject to
revocation, modification and renewal. Over the years, there have been ongoing communications, including notices of violations,
about environmental matters between us and federal and state authorities, some of which have resulted or will result in changes
to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. Compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permits will
continue to have an impact on our operations, the results of our operations, and our capital requirements. We believe that our
current operations are in substantial compliance with applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, regulations, and
permits.
