On February 5, 2007, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.’s (the “MLP”) operating subsidiary, Suburban Propane, L.P. (the “Partnership”), entered into a written employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”), dated as of February 1, 2007, with Michael J. Dunn, Jr., the Partnership’s existing President.

Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Dunn will continue to serve as President of the Partnership for an initial term of two years commencing on February 1, 2007, which term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless earlier terminated by the Partnership or by Mr. Dunn or otherwise terminated in accordance with the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $400,000 per Partnership fiscal year (pro-rated in the case of the Partnership’s 2007 fiscal year and any other partial fiscal year during the term of the Employment Agreement) and makes provision for Mr. Dunn to earn, pursuant to the Partnership’s Incentive Compensation Plan, a bonus in each fiscal year up to 110% of his annual base salary in that year (the “Maximum Annual Bonus”), based upon certain performance criteria. The Employment Agreement also entitles Mr. Dunn to participate in benefit and long-term incentive plans made available to other senior executives and senior managers of the Partnership.

If a “change of control” (as defined in the next paragraph) of the Partnership occurs and within six months prior thereto or within two years thereafter the Partnership terminates Mr. Dunn’s employment without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Dunn resigns with “good reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then Mr. Dunn will be entitled to (i) a severance payment equal to (A) the portion of his base salary earned but not paid as of the date of termination, (B) his “pro-rata bonus” (the bonus Mr. Dunn would have been entitled to under the Employment Agreement for the full fiscal year in which the termination occurred multiplied by the number of days from the beginning of that fiscal year until the termination date and divided by 365), and (C) two times the sum of (1) his annual base salary in effect as of the date of termination, plus (2) the Maximum Annual Bonus, and (ii) medical benefits for two years from the date of such termination. In situations not covered by the preceding sentence, if the Partnership terminates Mr. Dunn’s employment without cause or if Mr. Dunn resigns with good reason, then Mr. Dunn will be entitled to (i) a severance payment equal to (A) the portion of his base salary earned but not paid as of the date of termination, (B) the annual bonus Mr. Dunn would have been entitled to under the Employment Agreement for the full fiscal year in which the termination occurred had Mr. Dunn remained employed by the Partnership for that full fiscal year, and (C) two times his annual base salary in effect as of the date of termination, and (ii) medical benefits for two years from the date of such termination. The Employment Agreement provides that if any payment received by Mr. Dunn is subject to the federal excise tax under Section 4999, and/or accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, of the Internal Revenue Code, then the payment will be increased and/or deferred to permit Mr. Dunn to retain a net amount on an after-tax basis equal to what he would have received had the excise, accelerated or additional tax not been payable.
