Item 1.01 and 3.03 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

     On March 19, 2010 Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (“Suburban) and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (together with Suburban, the “Issuers”), in connection with its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”), entered into a Supplemental Indenture, by and among the Issuers and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplementing that certain Indenture, dated as of December 23, 2003, pursuant to which the Notes were issued (as supplemented, the “Indenture”).

     The Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments to the Indenture which were the subject of the consent solicitation in connection with the Issuers’ tender offer for the Notes, which was launched on March 9, 2010. These amendments eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and eliminate or modify certain events of default and related provisions contained in the Indenture. The amendments will not, however, become operative until the Notes tendered in the tender offer are accepted for purchase by the Issuers pursuant to the terms thereof.

     The description of the Supplemental Indenture in this Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.
Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents and Execution of Supplemental Indenture

     Whippany, New Jersey, March 19, 2010 — Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SPH) (“Suburban Propane”), a nationwide distributor of propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity, announced today that pursuant to the offer of Suburban Energy Finance Corp. and Suburban Propane (collectively “Suburban”) to purchase any and all of the $250 million aggregate principal amount of their outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 with CUSIP number 864486AB1 (the “Notes”) and related solicitation of consents (together, the “Offer”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture (the “Amendments”) governing the Notes (the “Consents”), the holders of $125,340,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes have validly delivered and not validly revoked Consents as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 18, 2010.

     Accordingly, a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to effect the Amendments has been executed by Suburban and the trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”). The Amendments, which will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and eliminate or modify certain events of default and related provisions contained in the Indenture, will become operative when the tendered Notes are accepted for purchase by Suburban.

     Withdrawal and revocation rights with respect to tendered Notes and delivered Consents expired today, the date of the execution of the Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, holders may no longer withdraw any Notes previously or hereafter tendered or revoke any Consents previously or hereafter delivered, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 9, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

     The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 5, 2010, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Holders who validly tender their Notes and provide their Consents prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 22, 2010, unless such date is extended or earlier terminated (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), will be entitled to receive the total consideration of $1,025.42, payable in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for payment, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for payment. The Offer contemplates an early settlement option, so that holders whose Notes are validly tendered prior to the Consent Payment Deadline and accepted for purchase could receive payment as early as March 23, 2010 (the “Initial Payment Date”). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Date will receive $995.42 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, which amount is equal to the total consideration less the consent payment. Accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes. The settlement date with respect to all Notes not settled at the Initial Payment Date is expected to be April 6, 2010, or promptly thereafter.

     The closing of the Offer will be subject to a number of conditions that are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the successful completion by Suburban of its public offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2020, the pricing of which was announced on March 9, 2010. The sale of the new notes is expected to close on March 23, 2010. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.

     The terms and conditions of the Offer, including Suburban’s obligation to accept the Notes tendered and pay the purchase price therefor, are set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Suburban may amend, extend or, subject to certain conditions, terminate the Offer.

     In connection with the Offer, Suburban has retained BofA Merrill Lynch as the dealer manager. Questions regarding the Offer may be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch, Debt Advisory Services Group, at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) and (980) 388-4603 (collect).
