We have acted as special counsel to Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), in connection with (i) the issuance of 1,388,888 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “FCI Securities”) to Ferrell Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on January 17, 2012, and (ii) the issuance of 1,506,515 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “ZLP Securities,” together with the FCI Securities, the “Securities”), pursuant to the purchase agreement dated January 19, 2012 (the “ZLP Purchase Agreement”), between the Partnership, on the one hand, and ZLP Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and ZLP Master Opportunity Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, on the other hand, on January 19, 2012.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLE SALE AGREEMENT dated as of January 19, 2012 is entered into by and among Ferrellgas, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Ferrellgas” or an “Originator”), Blue Rhino Global Sourcing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Blue Rhino” or an “Originator”), and Ferrellgas Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).  Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A.            Ferrellgas and Buyer have previously executed and delivered that certain Receivable Sale Agreement dated as of April 6, 2010 (the “Existing Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which Ferrellgas has been selling and contributing certain accounts receivable owed to it to Buyer.

B.            Blue Rhino desires to begin selling certain accounts receivable owed to it to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to begin purchasing such accounts receivable.  Accordingly, the Originators and Buyer wish to amend and restate the Existing Sale Agreement in its entirety to, among other things, add Blue Rhino as an Originator thereunder.

C.            Each of the Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be a true sale or, as applicable, a true contribution of such Originator’s Receivables and the associated Related Security from such Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security, and the Originators and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to either or both of the Originators.

E.             From time to time after the date hereof, Buyer will sell undivided interests in the Receivables and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of January 19, 2012 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, as seller, Ferrellgas, as initial Servicer, the Purchasers (as defined therein) and Co-Agents (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or any successor administrative agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as administrative agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the Originators and Buyer, do hereby agree to amend and restate the Existing Sale Agreement, without constituting a novation as to Ferrellgas, in its entirety as set forth herein:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 1.1.            Purchase of Receivables. In consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (a) effective as of its Applicable Closing Date, each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Applicable Closing Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof and (b) from and after its Applicable Closing Date, each Originator hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it from and after its Applicable Closing Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.  In accordance with the preceding sentence, Buyer shall acquire all of each Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to its Applicable Closing Date and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof, and Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for each Receivable, its Related Security and Collections in accordance with Section 1.2.  In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request, it being understood that Buyer will not request supplemental opinions more than once every 5 years except in connection with a material change in applicable law or a material amendment to this Agreement.

Section 1.2.            Payment for the Purchases  (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Receivables originated by each Originator that are in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding its Applicable Closing Date (its “Initial Cutoff Date”) shall be payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on its Applicable Closing Date, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(i)            by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, and

(ii)           the balance, by the incurrence of a subordinated revolving loan from the applicable Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth to be less than the Required Capital Amount.  Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and of the incurrence of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

2

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the applicable Originator’s Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to such Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d)).

(b)           With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the applicable Originator’s Initial Cutoff Date, on each Monthly Payment Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to each Originator in accordance with Section 1.2(d) (in the case of Ferrellgas only) and in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, or other cash on hand; and/or

second, by increasing the amount of the Subordinated Loan, provided that (i) the increase of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii) and (ii) the Subordinated Loan of Blue Rhino shall be increased to fully satisfy Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price to Blue Rhino for Receivables originated by it prior any increase in the Subordinated Loan of Ferrellgas; and/or

third, solely in the case of Receivables originated by Ferrellgas, by accepting such Receivables as a contribution to Buyer’s capital; provided that no such capital contribution shall be made from and after the date on which Ferrellgas notifies Buyer in writing that it has designated a date as the Termination Date.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date.  The Subordinated Loans made by each Originator shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents or the Purchasers.

(c)           From and after the Termination Date, no Originator shall be obligated to sell Receivables to Buyer but may, at its option, sell Receivables if such Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise.

(d)           Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the applicable Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Monthly Payment Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant

3

to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently ended.  Although settlement shall be effected on Monthly Payment Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the applicable Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and any contribution of capital by Ferrellgas to Buyer made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any date that the Aggregate Capital increases, the Buyer shall pay to the Originators, in the aggregate, the amount of such increase in partial settlement of the purchase of Receivables.

(e)           Each contribution of a Receivable by Ferrellgas to Buyer shall be deemed to be a Purchase of such Receivable by the Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges that Ferrellgas shall have no obligations to make further capital contributions to Buyer, in respect of Ferrellgas’ equity interest in the Buyer or otherwise in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to Ferrellgas under this Agreement or for any other reason.

Section 1.3.            Deemed Collections.  If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is either (i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment by the applicable Originator, or (ii) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), the applicable Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation.  If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 3.1(h), (i), (j), (r) or (t) is no longer true with respect to any Receivable, the applicable Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full.

Section 1.4.            Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a)           All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder (except amounts payable by increasing the outstanding principal balance under a Subordinated Note) shall be paid or deposited to the applicable Originator’s Account on the day when due in immediately available funds.  All amounts to be paid or deposited by an Originator hereunder shall be paid or deposited to the Facility Account in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds.

(b)           In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c)           If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 1.5.            Intention of the Parties.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the contribution and the sale of the Receivables hereunder, shall constitute sales, contributions or other outright conveyances which are absolute and irrevocable and provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security.  The sale and contribution of the Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to the applicable

Originator; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale and contribution do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other associated Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator.  In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of the Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales, contributions or other outright conveyances thereof rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that on or prior to its Applicable Closing Date, it has marked or will mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer owns the Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Receivables have been sold or contributed, to Buyer and have been further sold or pledged to the Administrative Agent.  Each Originator authorizes Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) to file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security.

Section 1.6.            Characterization.

(a)           If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.5, a court of competent jurisdiction shall characterize any sale or contribution by an Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder as a secured loan and not a sale, or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law.  For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale or contribution, as applicable, thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, and in all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, the Servicer’s Concentration Account, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables originated by such Originator together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto.  Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (or any of its assigns), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

(b)           Each Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Purchasers thereunder, all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement.  Each Originator agrees that the Administrative

5

Agent, as the assignee of the Buyer, shall, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is made to Buyer’s assigns in the provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and remedies), and each Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the Agents and the Purchasers in the exercise of such rights and remedies.  Each Originator further agrees to give to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder.

ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS

Section 2.1.            Ordinary Course.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the transactions hereunder are not true sales or contributions, each of the Originators and Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by such Originator to Buyer under this Agreement will have been (a) in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and Buyer and (b) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and Buyer.

Section 2.2.            Payment Rescission.  No amount due and owing to either party hereunder shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason.  The paying party shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Person who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus interest thereon at the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

(f)            Binding Effect.  This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Originator enforceable against such Originator in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g)           Accuracy of Information.  All information heretofore furnished by such Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a

7

material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

(h)Use of Proceeds.  No Purchase Price payment hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Originator or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act, as amended.

(j)Perfection.  This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from such Originator) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber, the Receivables originated by it, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents.  There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security.

(k)Places of Business and Locations of Records.  Such Originator is organized under the laws of Delaware.  The offices where such Originator keeps all of its records regarding the Receivables are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit II, or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 5.13(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 5.13(a) has been taken and completed.  Such Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II.

(l)Material Adverse Effect.  Since September 30, 2011, no event has occurred that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n)Ownership of Buyer.  In the case of Ferrellgas only, such Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claim.  Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer.

(o)Not a Regulated Entity.  Such Originator is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.  Such Originator is not subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the

8

Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code, or any other Federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness or to sell interests in the Receivables originated by it.

(p)Compliance with Law.  Such Originator has complied with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Receivable originated by such Originator, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r)Eligible Receivables.  Each of the Receivables originated by such Originator that is included in the Net Receivables Balance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in any Monthly Report or Interim Report (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on any day prior to the Termination Date is an Eligible Receivable (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as of the date specified in such report.

(s)Non-Voidability.  Neither the sale nor the contribution by such Originator of the Receivables originated by it is voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

(t)Enforceability of Contracts.  Each Contract with respect to each Receivable originated by such Originator is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u)Accounting.  The manner in which such Originator accounts for the sale and the contribution of the Receivables originated by it does not jeopardize its characterization as being a true sale or a true contribution, as applicable.

(v)Tax Status.  Ferrellgas is subject to taxation under the Code only as a partnership and not as a corporation.

14

once per calendar week. Originator, individually or (in the case of Ferrellgas) as Servicer, will sweep all such Collections from the Servicer’s Concentration Account no less than daily into the Facility Account and, unless the Termination Date has occurred, immediately thereafter transferred to the applicable Originator’s Account.

Section 5.13.Negative Covenants of Originators.  Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, and all Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, each Originator hereby covenants that:

(a)Name Change, Offices and Records.  Such Originator will not change its name, identity or legal structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate any office where Records are kept unless it shall have given Buyer (or its assigns) at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof.  Furthermore, such Originator authorizes Buyer (or its assigns) to file all financing statements, instruments and other documents in connection with such change or relocation.

(b)Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors.  Such Originator will not authorize any Obligor to make payment to any account other than a Lock-Box or Collection Account (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) which is swept into the Servicer’s Concentration Account in accordance with Section 5.12.

(c)Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.  Such Originator will not make any change to its Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectability of the Receivables originated by it or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables originated by it.  Except, in the case of Ferrellgas, as otherwise permitted in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, no Originator will extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable originated by it or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy.

(d)Sales, Adverse Claims.  Such Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, the Receivables originated by it, or the Servicer’s Concentration Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and such Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Originator.

(e)Accounting for Purchase.  Such Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale and contribution of the Receivables originated by it from such Originator to Buyer except to the extent that either such transaction is not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

15

(f)Change in Business.  Such Originator shall not engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business carried on by such Originator and the Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.

(g)Accounting Changes.  Such Originator shall not, and, in the case of Ferrellgas only, shall not suffer or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any significant change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required by GAAP, or change the fiscal year of such Originator or, in the case of Ferrellgas only, of any Restricted Subsidiary, except as required by the Code.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1.Indemnities by Originators.  Without limiting any other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, each of the Originators, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) Buyer and its assigns, officers, directors,

18

agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of Buyer or any such assign) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by Buyer of the Receivables, excluding, however:

(a)Indemnified Amounts to the extent that a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;

(b)Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

(c)taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests under the Purchase Agreement as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Buyer secured by, among other things, the Receivables;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of the Originators or limit the recourse of Buyer to the Originators for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by either Originator under the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, the Originators, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible Receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefore would constitute recourse to the Originators) relating to or resulting from:

19

(v)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

(vi)the commingling of Collections allocable to the Receivables at any time with other funds;

(vii)any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any Purchase Price payment, the ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security, or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to an Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(viii)any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(ix)any Termination Event described in Section 7.1(f) or (g);

(x)any failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, or to transfer to Buyer, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the Receivables and the associated Related Security free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(xi)the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to the Receivables, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of the Purchase or at any subsequent time;

Section 9.4.Confidentiality.

(b)Each Originator hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to Buyer, the Agents or the Purchasers, (ii) to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of the Persons described in clause (i), (iii) to any rating agency that rates its deposits or securities, and (iv) to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information and, in the case of a Person described in clause (ii), agrees in writing to keep such information confidential.  In addition, the Purchasers and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

Section 9.5.Bankruptcy Petition.  Each of the Originators covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding obligations of Buyer under the Purchase Agreement, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Buyer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or

22

liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 9.6.Limitation of Liability.  Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any of the Purchasers or Agents, no claim may be made by an Originator or any other Person against any of the Purchasers or Agents or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Originator hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 9.7.CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED THEREIN) AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE OWNERSHIP INTERESTS OR SECURITY INTERESTS OF BUYER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN THE RECEIVABLES AND THE ASSOCIATED RELATED SECURITY IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Section 9.8.CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE CHOICE OF TEXAS LAW PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.7, EACH ORIGINATOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH ORIGINATOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH ORIGINATOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF BUYER (OR ITS ASSIGNS) TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST AN ORIGINATOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 9.9.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY AN ORIGINATOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

23

Section 9.10.Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a)This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(b)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Originator, Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).  No Originator may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Buyer.  Buyer may assign at any time its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any other Person without the consent of the Originators.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, may assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and that the Administrative Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement.  Each Originator agrees that the Administrative Agent, as the assignee of Buyer, shall, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder) and each Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent in the exercise of such rights and remedies.  This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by an Originator pursuant to Article III; (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII; and (iii) Section 9.5 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.11.Counterparts; Severability; Section References.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Section 9.12.No Novation as to Ferrellgas.  Insofar as Ferrellgas is concerned, this Agreement shall not constitute a novation or a satisfaction and accord of the Existing Sale Agreement and/or other Transaction Documents, but shall constitute an amendment and restatement thereof from and after the effective date hereof.

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I and, if not defined therein, the meanings assigned to such terms in the Receivable Sale Agreement referenced therein.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A.            The Seller desires to transfer and assign Purchaser Interests to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date.

B.            Each of the Purchasers, or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers, shall purchase Purchaser Interests from Seller from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date.

C.            Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has been requested and is willing to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby further agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1.            Purchase Facility.

(a)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, from time to time during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers; provided that at no time may the Aggregate Capital at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the Purchase Limit and (ii) the Net Receivables Balance less the Required Reserves (the “Investment Base”) as reflected on the most recent Interim Report.  Seller hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages, and the Administrative Agent hereby acquires, all of Seller’s now owned and existing and hereafter arising or acquired right, title and interest in and to the Purchaser Interests.  The Seller Parties’ right to request Purchases, and the Purchasers’ several Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Facility Termination Date.

(b)           Not more than once per calendar month, in addition to the changes in the Aggregate Commitment specified on Schedule A hereto, Seller may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to each of the Agents, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Purchasers, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit and the Aggregate Commitment; provided that each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit (i) shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (ii) shall permanently decrease the Aggregate Commitment for each group of months in Schedule A hereto by a like amount, and (iii) shall be apportioned amongst the Commitments of the Purchasers ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages.  Each notice of a partial decrease in the Purchase Limit shall be accompanied by an updated version of Schedule A hereto bearing the effective date of such decrease, and in no event may the Aggregate Commitment be reduced to a level less than the Aggregate Capital outstanding unless it is accompanied by an Aggregate Reduction made in accordance with Section 1.3 in the amount necessary to eliminate any excess Aggregate Capital outstanding.

Section 1.2.            Increases.

(a)           On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, Seller may request Purchases by delivering by electronic mail to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on a Business Day (a “Notice Date”) an irrevocable written notice in the form set forth as Exhibit II-A hereto (a “Purchase Notice”), which notice shall promptly be confirmed by a telephone call to the Administrative Agent; provided that a Purchase Notice will be effectively delivered notwithstanding any failure by Seller to so confirm such notice by telephone call.  Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000) and date of purchase.  Upon receipt of each Purchase Notice, subject to Section 1.2(b) below, the Administrative Agent will make the requested Purchase on behalf of the Purchasers not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York

2

time) on the Notice Date; provided that after giving effect to such Purchase, the Aggregate Capital shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Purchase Limit and (ii) the Investment Base.

(b)           If the Administrative Agent elects not to fund the requested Purchase on behalf of the Purchasers in accordance with Section 1.2(a), not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), the Administrative Agent will notify Seller of such election and not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Notice Date, the Administrative Agent will deliver to the other Agents copies of the applicable Purchase Notice, in which case, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the Purchasers severally agrees to make a Purchase equal to its Percentage of the requested Purchase, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day; provided that, with the exception of the Administrative Agent, at no time may any Purchaser’s Capital at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Purchase Limit and (ii) such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Investment Base.

(c)           Except with respect to the initial Purchase to be made under this Agreement on the date hereof (which initial Purchase shall be made ratably amongst the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages), unless and until the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Seller Parties and the other Agents not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) one Business Day prior to a proposed Purchase Date written notice that it is electing to cease funding Purchases on behalf of the Purchasers (a “Fronting Cessation Notice”), the Seller Parties and the Purchasers shall be entitled to assume that the Administrative Agent will fund, and the Administrative Agent agrees to fund, each Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(a).

(d)           On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, either (i) the Administrative Agent shall deposit or otherwise initiate a wire transfer to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the requested Purchase, or (ii) in the case of the Purchase to be made on the date hereof, or if a Fronting Cessation Notice has been timely delivered, each Purchaser shall initiate a wire transfer to such account or accounts as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in writing to such Purchaser, in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), in an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of the requested Purchase, and the Administrative Agent will promptly wire transfer or otherwise credit such amounts in immediately available funds to the Facility Account.

Section 1.3.            Decreases.

(a)           Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with irrevocable prior written notice in the form of Exhibit II-B hereto (each, a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day on which the proposed reduction is to occur (the “Proposed Reduction Date”).  Such Reduction Notice shall designate (A) the Proposed Reduction Date, and (B) the amount by which the Aggregate Capital is to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be not less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate.  The Administrative Agent will apply the Aggregate Reduction to the Administrative Agent’s Purchaser Interests to the fullest extent possible and, to the extent its Purchaser Interest are not large enough to absorb the entire Aggregate Reduction, it shall distribute the excess to the Purchasers for application to their Purchaser Interests as soon as

3

reasonably feasible and in any event not later than the next Business Day in accordance with Section 1.4.

(b)           If, on any date of determination, the Aggregate Capital outstanding exceeds the lesser of (i) the Purchase Limit and (ii) the Investment Base, then Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, (x) an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital outstanding such that after giving effect to such payment, the Aggregate Capital is less than or equal to the Investment Base or (y) an amount necessary to reduce the Aggregate Capital to the Purchase Limit.  The Administrative Agent will apply the payment received to the Administrative Agent’s Purchaser Interests to the fullest extent possible and, to the extent its Purchaser Interests are not large enough to absorb the entire payment, it shall distribute the excess to the Purchasers for application to their Purchaser Interests as soon as reasonably feasible and in any event not later than the next Business Day in accordance with Section 1.4.

Section 1.4.            Funding and Paydown Settlements.

(a)           In order to administer the facility evidenced by this Agreement in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms of this Section, make available, on behalf of the Purchasers, the full amount of each Purchase requested or charged to the Purchase Account or otherwise to be advanced by the Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, without requirement of prior notice to the Purchasers of the proposed Purchase.

(b)           With respect to all Purchases made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers as provided in this Section, the amount of each Purchaser’s Percentage of the outstanding Purchaser Interests shall be computed at least weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Purchaser Interests as of 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided that the Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above-described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Purchasers after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as the Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Purchases for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Funding Settlement Period”).  If the summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by a Purchaser prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, then such Purchaser shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Business Day.  If, as of the end of any Funding Settlement Period, the combined Capital amount of a Purchaser’s Purchaser Interests is more than such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Aggregate Capital outstanding, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to such Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such excess.  Alternatively, if, as of the end of any Funding Settlement Period, the combined Capital amount of a Purchaser’s Purchaser Interests is less than such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Aggregate Capital outstanding, then such Purchaser shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the second preceding sentence) transfer to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such deficiency.  The obligation of each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent to transfer

4

such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the transferring party.  The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser agrees to mark its books and records at the end of each Funding Settlement Period to show at all times its Capital outstanding.  Each Purchaser shall only be entitled to receive Yield on its Capital to the extent such Capital has been actually funded by such Purchaser.  Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of Purchasers may be advancing and/or may be repaid Capital prior to the time when the Purchasers will actually advance and/or be repaid their Capital, Yield with respect to Aggregate Capital shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Capital actually advanced by and repaid to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and shall accrue from and including the date such Capital is so advanced to but excluding the date such Capital is either repaid by Seller or actually settled with the applicable Purchaser as described in this Section.

(c)           To the extent that the Administrative Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Aggregate Capital by Seller, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section.  In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, subject to Section 1.2(c), the Administrative Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Purchaser to provide the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds representing its Percentage of the Purchase Price for a Purchaser Interest, prior to the Administrative Agent’s disbursement of such Purchase Price to Seller.  In the event that the Administrative Agent elects to require prior funding by each Purchaser of its Percentage of a Purchase Price before making such Purchase Price available to Seller in accordance with Section 1.2(c), all Purchases under this Agreement shall be funded by the Purchasers simultaneously and proportionately to their Percentages.  No Purchaser shall be responsible for any default by any other Purchaser in the other Purchaser’s obligation to make its Percentage of a Purchase Price requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Purchaser be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Purchaser in the other Purchaser’s obligation to make its Percentage of a Purchase hereunder.

(d)           If the Administrative Agent is not funding a particular Purchase to Seller pursuant to Sections 1.4(a) and 1.4(b) above on any day but is requiring each Purchaser to provide the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds on the date of such Purchase as provided in Section 1.4(c) above, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Purchaser will make available to the Administrative Agent such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Purchase Price requested or otherwise made on such day and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to (except to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Purchasers), cause a corresponding amount to be made available to Seller on such day.  If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to Seller and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Purchaser, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Purchaser together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate, changing when and as such rate changes, and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 200 basis points, changing when and as the Federal Funds Effective Rate

5

changes.  During the period in which such Purchaser has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to or for the benefit of Seller shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Purchase made by the Administrative Agent for its own account.  Upon any such failure by a Purchaser to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Seller of such failure and Seller shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of such notice.  A Purchaser who fails to pay the Administrative Agent its Percentage of any Purchase Price made available by the Administrative Agent on such Purchaser’s behalf, or any Purchaser who fails to pay any other amount owing by it to the Administrative Agent, is a “Defaulting Purchaser”.  A Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed not to be a “Purchaser” and such Defaulting Purchaser’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero dollars ($0) for purposes of determining voting rights, fees and rights to receive any Collections or other payments.  This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Purchaser, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive and retain the Defaulting Purchaser’s Percentage of any fees, Collections and other payments due, until such default is cured (either voluntarily by the Defaulting Purchaser or by virtue of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Defaulting Purchaser’s share of such fees, Collections and other payments).  The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Purchaser, or relieve or excuse the performance by Seller of its duties and obligations hereunder.

(e)           Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Purchaser or to relieve any Purchaser from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Seller may have against any Purchaser as a result of any default by any Purchaser hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment.

Section 1.5.            Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Rights.  The obligation of each Purchaser hereunder is several, and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Purchaser hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and no action taken by the Purchasers pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Purchaser shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Purchaser may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of its Purchases or any other obligations under the Transaction Documents, as against Seller or any property of Seller.

Section 1.6.            Payment Requirements.  All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.  All amounts payable to the

6

Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be paid to the Administrative Agent’s Account, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit each applicable Purchaser’s portion thereof (if any) in immediately available funds to such account as such Purchaser may from time to time specify in writing.  All computations of Yield at LMIR and Unused Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  All computations of Yield at the Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days for the actual number of days elapsed.  If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Purchaser shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Seller to such Person resulting from each Purchase made by such Purchaser from time to time, including the amounts of Capital and Yield payable and paid to such Person from time to time hereunder.  Upon request of Seller or the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser will confirm the amount of its outstanding Capital and the amount of any accrued and unpaid Yield.  The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall absent manifest error be correct evidence of the existence and amounts of the Aggregate Unpaids therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Purchaser to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Seller to repay the Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 1.7.            Purchase Account.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Seller (the “Purchase Account”) on which Seller will be charged with all Purchases, all Yield, all fees, and all other costs payable to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser.  The Purchase Account will be credited with all payments received for Seller’s account.  The Administrative Agent shall render monthly statements regarding the Purchase Account to the Purchasers and the Seller, including Capital, Yield, fees, and an itemization of all other costs, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Seller and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Seller, Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.  Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Seller, to charge to the Purchase Account for all Capital, Yield, fees and other costs owing hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable) which amounts thereafter shall constitute Purchases hereunder.

ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

Section 2.1.            Monthly Payment Dates.  Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, on each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Purchasers or the Servicer, as applicable, in each case, on a full recourse basis and without duplication (i) the Unused Fee, (ii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iii) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, and (iv) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables (all of the foregoing, together with the Administrative Agent’s Fee, collectively, the “Recourse Obligations”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in

7

excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  If at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agents.

Section 2.2.            Reinvestment Procedures.  On each Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, and provided that Section 2.3 shall not then be applicable, (i) the Servicer (or, after delivery of Collection Notices pursuant to Section 8.3, the Administrative Agent) shall set aside and hold in trust for the payment of any Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2 any Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously set aside or paid; (ii) after payment of amounts (if any) due and owing on such date pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.5, Seller hereby requests and the applicable Purchasers hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each, a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection so received that is part of any Purchaser Interest, such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt; and (iii) the Servicer (and, after delivery of the Collection Notices, the Administrative Agent) shall remit the balance, if any, of such Collections remaining after the applications provided in clause (ii) to the Seller or its designee.

Section 2.3.            Liquidation Settlement Procedures.

(a)           If on any Business Day on or prior to the Facility Termination Date, a payment is due pursuant to Section 2.5, the Servicer shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Purchasers, from previously received Collections, the amount specified in such Section for application to reduction of the Aggregate Capital, ratably amongst the Purchasers.

(b)           On each Business Day on which an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing and on the Facility Termination Date and each Business Day thereafter, the Servicer shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Administrative Agent deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the benefit of the Purchasers, all Collections received on such day, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds in the following order of priority:

(i)            first, to the Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer;

(ii)           second, in payment in full of the accrued Yield and Unused Fees and other fees, if any, payable by the Seller to any of the Agents or Purchasers;

(iii)          third, in reduction of the Aggregate Capital to zero; and

(iv)          fourth, in payment in full of all other Aggregate Unpaids not covered in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

8

The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agent’s Account, shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers entitled thereto; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth above and, with respect to any such category above for which the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to such Persons) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof.

Section 2.4.            Payment Rescission.  No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason.  Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the applicable Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus Yield thereon at the Discount Rate applicable from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Section 2.5.            Maximum Purchaser Interests.  Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%.  If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent’s Account for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers in accordance with their Percentages within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payments, the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than l00%.

Section 2.6.            Clean-up Call.  In addition to Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, the Servicer shall have the right (after providing not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agents), to direct the Seller at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests (a “Clean-up Call”).  The aggregate purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds.  Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any of the Purchasers or Agents, except that the Agents and the Purchasers shall represent and warrant that the Purchasers Interests are free and clear of any Adverse Claim created by any of them.  Upon such payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids following a Clean-up Call, the Commitments and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for provisions which expressly survive termination.

ARTICLE III
[RESERVED]

ARTICLE IV
YIELD

Section 4.1.            Yield.  Each Purchaser Interest shall accrue Yield at a rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate.

9

Section 4.2.Yield Payments.  On each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield on each Purchaser Interest for the Accrual Period (or portion thereof) then most recently ended.

Section 4.3.Suspension of LMIR.

(a)           If any Purchaser notifies Seller and the Agents that it has determined that funding its Purchaser Interests at LMIR would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests at LMIR are not available or (ii) LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at such rate, then the applicable Purchaser(s) shall suspend the availability of LMIR and their Purchaser Interests shall thereafter accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate.

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 5.1.Representations and Warranties of the Seller.  Each Seller Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Purchasers, as to itself, as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:

(a)           Existence and Power.  Such Seller Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity, and has and holds all organizational power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)           Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery.  The execution and delivery by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, Seller’s use of the proceeds of the purchases made hereunder, are within its organizational powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part.  This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller Party.

10

(c)           No Conflict.  The execution and delivery by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its Organization Documents, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of such Seller Party (except as created under the Transaction Documents) except, in each case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(d)           Governmental Authorization.  Other than the filing of the financing statements required hereunder and under the Receivable Sale Agreement, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(e)           Actions, Suits.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of such Seller Party’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting such Seller Party, or any of its properties, in or before any Governmental Authority, which (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or (b) if determined adversely to a Seller Party or an Originator, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or directing that the transactions provided for herein or therein not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

(f)            Binding Effect.  This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Party enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g)           Accuracy of Information.  All information heretofore furnished by such Seller Party or any of its Affiliates to any of the Agents or Purchasers for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Seller Party or any of its Affiliates to any of the Agents or Purchasers will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

11

(h)           Use of Proceeds.  No proceeds of any purchase hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i)            Good Title.  Immediately prior to each Purchase hereunder, Seller shall be the legal and beneficial owner of the Receivables, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.  There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller’s ownership interest in the Receivables.

(j)            Perfection.  This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon each purchase hereunder, transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers (and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser or Purchasers shall acquire from Seller) a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership or security interest in the Receivables and Related Security, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents.  There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) ownership or security interest in the Receivables.

(k)           Places of Business and Locations of Records.  The offices where the Seller Parties keep all of their respective records regarding the Purchaser Interests are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit III or such other locations of which the Administrative Agent has been notified in accordance with Section 7.15(a).  Seller’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit III.

(l)            Collections.  The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 7.12 hereof and in Section 5.12 of the Receivable Sale Agreement have at all times been satisfied and duly performed.  Seller has not granted any Person, other than the Servicer, dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.  Servicer or Seller has not granted any Person, other than the Administrative Agent, dominion and control of the Servicer’s Concentration Account, or the right to take dominion and control of the Servicer’s Concentration Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.  Seller has not granted any Person, other than the Administrative Agent, dominion and control of the Facility Account, or the right to take dominion and control of the Facility Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.

(m)          Material Adverse Effect.  (i) The initial Servicer represents and warrants that since June 30, 2011, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the initial Servicer and its Subsidiaries or the ability of the initial Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Seller represents and warrants that since the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would

12

have a material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition or operations of Seller, (B) the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or (C) the collectability of the Receivables generally or any material portion of the Receivables.

(n)           Names.  In the past five (5) years, Seller has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

(o)           Ownership of Seller.  Ferrellgas owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claim.  Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Seller.

(p)           Not a Regulated Entity.  Such Seller Party is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.  Such Seller Party is not subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code, or any other Federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness or to sell interests in the Receivables or Related Security.

(q)           Compliance with Law.  Such Seller Party has complied with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r)            Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy.  Such Seller Party has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except as to which the Agents have been notified in accordance with Section 7.3(c) and has consented.

(s)           Payments to Originator.  Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator in consideration for the Receivables originated by such Originator and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.  The transfer by each Originator of the Receivables originated by it under the Receivable Sale Agreement is not voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(t)            Enforceability of Contracts.  Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as

13

such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u)           Eligible Receivables.  Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable on any Monthly Report or Interim Report is, as of the date specified in such report, an Eligible Receivable.

(v)           Net Receivables Balance.  Seller has determined that, immediately after giving effect to each Incremental Purchase and Reinvestment hereunder, the Net Receivables Balance minus the Required Reserves will equal or exceed the Aggregate Capital then outstanding.

(w)          Accounting.  The manner in which such Seller Party accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Receivable Sale Agreement does not jeopardize the true sale analysis.

18

without limitation, all steps that any of the Agents may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Originator and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division of an Originator or any such Affiliate.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Seller will:

(a)           conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full-time employees of Seller, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of an Originator (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as Seller’s employees);

(b)           compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Seller’s own funds, for services provided to Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of an Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable;

(c)           clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and allocate to Seller on a reasonable basis the costs of any space shared with an Originator;

(d)           have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

(e)           conduct all transactions with an Originator or the Servicer (including, without limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicer) strictly on an arm’s-length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between Seller and such Originator on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use;

(f)            at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of at least three members, at least one member of which is an Independent Director;

(g)           observe all formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all actions relating to (i) the dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (ii) the initiation of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);

(h)           maintain Seller’s books and records separate from those of an Originator and any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of such Originator and any Affiliate thereof;

(i)            prepare its financial statements separately from those of each Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof that include Seller and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate

19

entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

(j)            except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of an Originator or any Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party, into which Seller alone makes deposits and from which Seller alone (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

(k)           pay all of Seller’s operating expenses from Seller’s own assets (except for certain payments by an Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 7.10);

(l)            operate its business and activities such that:  it does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivable Sale Agreement; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivable Sale Agreement, to make payment to the applicable Originator thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from such Originator under the Receivable Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(m)          maintain its charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that (1) it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Organization Documents in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, this Section 7.10; and (2) its corporate charter, at all times that this Agreement is in effect, provides for (x) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Agents of the replacement or appointment of any director that is to serve as an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement and (y) the condition precedent to giving effect to such replacement or appointment that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its reasonable judgment that the designated Person satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director;”

(n)           maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivable Sale Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the Receivable Sale Agreement, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivable Sale Agreement or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Agents;

(o)           maintain its legal separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one

20

transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary;

(p)maintain at all times adequate capital with which to conduct its business and to meet its obligations as they come due; and

(q)take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Bracewell & Giuliani LLP as counsel for the Seller Parties, in connection with the closing or initial Incremental Purchase under this Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

Section 7.11.Performance and Enforcement of Receivable Sale Agreement.  Seller will, and will require the Originators to, perform each of their respective obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Receivable Sale Agreement, will purchase Receivables thereunder in strict compliance with the terms thereof and will vigorously enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller under the Receivable Sale Agreement.  Seller will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers as assignees of Seller) under the Receivable Sale Agreement as any of the Agents may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivable Sale Agreement.

Section 7.12.Collections.  Each Seller Party will cause all Collections on the Receivables to be concentrated each Business Day into the Servicer’s Concentration Account; provided, however, that solely with respect to each account listed on Schedule C (as such Schedule C may be updated by the Servicer with a delivery of a revised Schedule C concurrent with the delivery of the Monthly Report pursuant to Article VIII, provided that no account may be added to Schedule C without the consent of the Agents if, after giving effect to such account’s addition and any prior or concurrent account closures and deletions, the aggregate Collections flowing through all accounts listed on Schedule C could reasonably be expected to exceed 5% of total weekly Collections on a pro forma basis), so long as the daily balance therein does not exceed $2,500, each Seller Party will concentrate the Collections therein into the Servicer’s Concentration Account not less than once per calendar week.  The Servicer will sweep all such Collections from the Servicer’s Concentration Account no less than daily into the Facility Account and immediately thereafter transferred to the applicable Originator’s Account.  Servicer will cause the Servicer’s Concentration Account to be subject at all times to a Blocked Account Agreement that is in full force and effect.  Seller will cause the Facility Account to be subject at all times to a Blocked Account Agreement that is in full force and effect.

(g)Restricted Junior Payments.  From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set forth in Section 7.10(p).

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1.Designation of Servicer.  The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with Article VI of the Receivable Sale Agreement and this Article VIII.  Ferrellgas is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The Agents, acting jointly, may designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Ferrellgas or any successor Servicer; provided, however, that unless an Amortization Event (or another event of the type described in the definition of “Amortization Date” has occurred), replacement of the Servicer shall not result in the occurrence of the Amortization Date.

Section 8.2.Certain Duties of Servicer.

(a)The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II.  The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II.  The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agents, acting jointly, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agents all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller

23

prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II.  If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(b)The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Agents shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(c)The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Purchasers following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(d)Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3.Collection Notices.  The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the applicable Collection Bank the Collection Notices; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to give any of the Agents or Purchasers any claim to, Adverse Claim on or right to retain any amounts deposited into the Servicer’s Concentration Account or the Facility Account which do not constitute Collections and provided, further, that unless an Amortization Event (or another event of the type described in the definition of “Amortization Date” has occurred), delivery of the Collection Notices shall not result in the occurrence of the Amortization Date.  The Servicer and Seller hereby transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive control of the Servicer’s Concentration Account; provided, however, that the Servicer or Seller shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds therefrom until the Administrative Agent delivers the applicable Collection Notice.  The Seller hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive control of the Facility Account and each other Collection Account (other than the Servicer’s Concentration Account) that is now or hereafter governed by a Blocked Account Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall retain the right to direct the

24

disposition of funds therefrom until the Administrative Agent delivers the applicable Collection Notice.  Each of the Seller Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled:  (i) at any time after delivery of the Collections Notices, to endorse such Seller Party’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the earlier to occur of an Amortization Event or replacement of the Servicer, to enforce the Receivables and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after delivery of the Collections Notices, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than such Seller Party.

Section 8.4.Responsibilities of Seller.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, the applicable Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts.  The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5.Reports.

(a)The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agents (i) on the 18th day of each month hereafter or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Monthly Reporting Date”), a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as any of the Agents shall reasonably request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of all Receivables.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.12, concurrent with the delivery of each Monthly Report, the Servicer may, but is not obligated to, provide an updated Schedule C so long as such updated Schedule C only adds new accounts and deletes previously listed accounts which have been closed.  Upon such delivery, Schedule C attached hereto shall be automatically replaced in its entirety with such updated Schedule C without the consent of any other party hereto.

(b)In addition, on each Interim Reporting Date, the Servicer shall prepare and send to each of the Agents an Interim Report as of the close of business on the prior Business Day or week, as applicable; provided that the Servicer may provide an unsigned Interim Report by e-mail so long as such e-mail transmission confirms that such Interim Report is final and the Servicer delivers a signed hard copy by facsimile or mail within two Business Days.

Section 11.3.Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Agents nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers or other Agents for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Seller Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith.  None of the Agents shall be under any obligation to any Purchaser or any other Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction

33

Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties.  None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless such Agent has received notice from Seller or a Purchaser.

Section 11.4.Reliance by Agents.  The Agents shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.  Each of the Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of such Purchasers as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the applicable Purchasers, provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such advice, such Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as such Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers.  Each of the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

Section 11.5.Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Purchasers.  Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents, nor any of such Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent.  Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agents that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon any of the Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 11.6.Reimbursement and Indemnification.  The Purchasers agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their respective Commitments, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 11.7.Agents in their Individual Capacity.  Each of the Agents, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though it were not an Agent or a Purchaser (as applicable) hereunder.  With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it

34

were not the Agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include Wells, SunTrust and Fifth Third.

Section 11.8.Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may, upon five days’ notice to Seller and the Purchasers, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Administrative Agent.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Required Purchasers during such five-day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers a successor administrative agent.  If for any reason no successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicer (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Purchasers.  After the effectiveness of any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1.Assignments.

(a)Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Agents.

(b)With the consent of the Seller as long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any Purchaser (“Assigning Purchaser”) may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Assignee Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto, Seller and Administrative Agent (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Assignee Purchaser and such Assigning Purchaser.  Upon delivery of an executed Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, such Assigning Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment.  Thereafter the Assignee Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Agents shall be required.

Section 12.2.Participations.  Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”), participating interests in its Purchaser Interests or any other interest of such Purchaser hereunder.  Notwithstanding any such sale by such a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain

35

solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Agents and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Each Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.l(b)(i).

Section 12.3.Federal Reserve.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without  limitation, any Receivable and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, any other Purchaser or any Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release any Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

ARTICLE XIII
[RESERVED]

ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1.Waivers and Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay on the part of any of the Agents or Purchasers in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.  Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b)No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b).  The Seller Parties and Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, may enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such modification or waiver shall:

(1) without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the Scheduled Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield (or any component of Yield), (C) reduce any fee payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, (D) except pursuant to Article XII hereof, change the amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, any Purchaser’s Percentage or any Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Purchasers or this Section 14.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by Seller of any of its

36

rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Required Reserve” or any component thereof, or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

(2) without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Administrative Agent and Seller, with the consent of each Purchaser, may amend this Agreement on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Seller to add additional Persons as Purchasers hereunder and (B) the Agents may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI or Article XII or any other provision of this Agreement without the consent of the Seller Parties, provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon either of the Seller Parties.  Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon the Seller Parties, the Purchasers and the Agents.

Section 14.2.Notices.  Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing, and  electronic mail) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto.  Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, five (5) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2.  Seller hereby authorizes each of the Agents and the Purchasers to effect purchases based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Agent or such Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller.  Seller agrees to deliver promptly to any Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice.  If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by any of the Agents or Purchasers, as the case may be, the records of such Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3.Ratable Payments.  If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

37

Section 14.4.Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

(a)Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any of the Agents may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file a financing statement against Seller describing the collateral thereunder as “all assets and the proceeds thereof” or words of the same general effect.  At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.   Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

(b)If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder:  (i) any of the Agents or Purchasers may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and such Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3, (ii) each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (A) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (B) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables.  The appointment in the preceding clause (ii) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 14.5.Confidentiality.

(a)Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Fee Letters and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to any Agent and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Agents or the Purchasers by each other, (ii) by any of the Agents or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them, and (iii) to any officers, directors, employees,

38

outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information.  In addition, the Purchasers and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c)Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws.  For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

Section 14.6.[Reserved].

Section 14.7.Limitation of Liability.  Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any of the Agents or Purchasers, no claim may be made by any Seller Party or any other Person against any of the Agents or Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 14.8.CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 14.9.CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  EACH SELLER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH SELLER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT

39

OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Section 14.10.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 14.11.Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a)This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(b)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).  This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.12.Counterparts; Severability; Section References.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Section 14.13.Characterization.

(a)It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which Purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to each of the Purchasers and the Agents for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by

40

Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any of the Purchasers or the Agents or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator.

(b)In addition to any ownership interest which the Administrative Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest, now existing or hereafter arising, in (i) the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, (ii) the Facility Account and the Servicer’s Concentration Account, (iii) Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivable Sale Agreement, and (iv) all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein.  The Agents and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

This Agreement and Release is entered on this 19th day of January, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) among Ferrell Companies, Inc. (“FCI”), Ferrellgas, Inc. of Overland Park, Kansas (collectively, “Ferrellgas”), and their affiliates, including Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., and/or Ferrellgas, L.P., (all of which will collectively be referred to as “Ferrell”) and George L. Koloroutis (“Employee”), to set forth the terms of separation of Employee’s employment relationship with Ferrellgas and for all benefits, rights, and obligations between Ferrellgas and Employee (referred to collectively as the “Parties”).  Thus, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth below, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

Employee’s regular employment ended on the Effective Date set forth above; however Employee will continue in an advisory role described in Section 2 below. Ferrell and Employee now desire to fully and finally resolve all issues among or between them arising from Employee’s employment by Ferrell and/or the cessation of such employment. Therefore, intending to be legally bound, Ferrell and Employee agree as follows:

1.Employee was relieved of his duties as the President of Ferrell North America and Sr. Vice President of Ferrellgas and all of its affiliated entities on the Effective Date.  The parties agree that the Effective Date shall be the date referenced in Section 1(h) of the Employment Agreement between the parties dated August 10, 2009.  Employee will receive a Letter of Reference in the form attached as “Attachment A” (or other form proposed by Employee and agreed by Stephen Wambold) within twenty-one days of signing this Agreement.

2.Further, Ferrellgas agrees to retain Employee in an advisory role for four (4) years, beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Advisory Period”), and this Advisory Period will apply to Employee’s vesting for purposes of his existing FCI and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. stock appreciation rights and common unit options rights, respectively, as if Employee had not been relieved of his duties.  Employee will not be granted any further options or stock appreciation rights Employee will no longer be deemed to be an advisor to Ferrell, including any affiliates of any Ferrell entity, after the Advisory Period, and no further rights or benefits, including without limitation stock/common unit option or stock appreciation rights or vesting, shall accrue to Employee after such date, except as provided herein.  Employee will be paid his previous base salary of $350,000 per annum on usual the bi-weekly pay periods, subject to withholdings and deductions, for the Advisory Period.  Employee shall not make any 401(k) contributions nor receive any 401(k) matching during this time and will voluntarily discontinue deferrals to his Supplemental Savings Plan.  Employee will not be entitled to future ESOP allocations after the Effective Date.  Employee shall not undertake any duties on behalf of Ferrell and shall not be considered to be operating within the course of any duties unless specifically directed in writing by Ferrell to do so. Employee shall not have the authority, apparent or actual, to enter into agreements on behalf of Ferrell or to otherwise bind the company, and Employee shall not hold himself out to be an officer of Ferrell. Employee shall not have access to company offices, telephone systems, computer or email systems or other Ferrell property unless specifically authorized in writing by Ferrell. Employee will office from his home and all business communications by him shall be directed to Steve Wambold, CEO of Ferrellgas. Employee shall be reimbursed only for previously authorized and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Ferrellgas.  Employee agrees to be available to assist and cooperate with Ferrell and to respond in a timely manner to reasonable inquiries from Ferrell senior management.  Employee agrees that the confidentiality provisions of his Employee Agreement shall extend to any confidential information (as

defined in his Employment Agreement as attached to this Agreement) obtained or developed during this period.  In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Employee’s August 6, 2009 Employment Agreement) or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition by Ferrellgas, Inc. or Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrell shall notify Employee of such event within 30 days of the effective date of the Change in Control or initial bankruptcy filing by first-class mail to Employee’s last known street address and by electronic mail to Employee’s last known electronic mail address.  Within 90 days of receiving such notification, Employee may elect to accelerate the remainder of the amount of the four years of base salary due to him by so stating in writing, If Employee so elects, all of Employee’s remaining options and stock appreciation rights shall fully vest, and Employee will be entitled to all rights described in paragraph 3(a) below for a period of 18 months after the date of Employee’s election to accelerate or until the end of the Advisory Period, whichever is earlier.  All of Ferrell’s other obligations under Section 3 shall terminate.

3.(a) Employee acknowledges that the end of formal employment on the Effective Date constitutes a “qualifying event” for COBRA purposes. During the Advisory Period, Ferrellgas shall provide the employer share of any health, vision, and dental coverage in which Employee and his dependents were enrolled as of the Effective Date and Employee’s cost for these benefits will be consistent with the rates charged to active employees during the Advisory Period.  Employee acknowledges such payments are greater than, in lieu of and not in addition to Ferrell’s COBRA obligations.

(b) If, in the alternative, the Employee elects his standard rights under COBRA, the eighteen month COBRA continuation period will begin on the Effective Date and COBRA information will be sent to Employee by Ferrell’s COBRA provider.  Employee must submit each month’s COBRA premium payment to Ferrell’s COBRA provider as outlined in the enrollment information. In addition, Employee must make a copy of the check submitted for each payment and mail it to Ferrellgas, Attention Cathy Brown, Director of Tax and Payroll, One Liberty Plaza, Liberty, MO 64068.  Ferrellgas will reimburse Employee for a portion of the monthly premium payment (as more fully described in the last sentence of this paragraph) after The Taben Group (or successor COBRA administrator) has received the premium and after Ms. Brown or her successor has received a copy of each payment check. If Employee fails to submit premiums in a timely manner, Employee will lose continuation coverage. The amount of the Employee’s monthly reimbursement shall equal the difference between the Employee’s premium payment and the Employee cost for coverage consistent with the rates charged to active employees (the “Premium Reimbursement”), plus a gross-up payment to reimburse Employee for any income and employment taxes due on the Premium Reimbursement and gross-up payment.

(c) During the Advisory Period, Ferrellgas shall also provide the employer share of the cost of any life and AD&D coverage in which Employee and his dependents were enrolled as of the Effective Date, and Employee’s cost for these benefits will be consistent with the rates paid by active employees.  To the extent the employer-provided cost of coverage of such benefits results in imputed income to Employee, Ferrellgas will pay Employee a gross-up payment so that there will be no after-tax costs to the Employee associated with the employer-provided cost of coverage of these benefits.

4.In exchange for the mutual promises made here, Employee agrees to forever RELEASE and DISCHARGE Ferrell, all of Ferrell’s affiliated entities, and Ferrell’s officers, employees, directors and agents from any and all claims arising from his employment and/or cessation of employment and all debts, obligations, claims, demands, or causes of

2

action of any kind whatsoever, known or unknown, in tort, contract, by statute or on any other basis, for equitable relief, compensatory, punitive or other damages, expenses (including attorney’s fees), reimbursements or costs of any kind, including, but not limited to, any and all claims, demands, rights and/or causes of action, including those which might arise out of allegations relating to a claimed breach of an alleged oral or written employment contract, or relating to purported employment discrimination or civil rights violations, such as, but not limited to, those arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all amendments thereto, Executive Order 11246, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Older Workers’ Benefits Protection Act, and/or any other applicable federal, state, or local employment discrimination or retaliation statute, ordinance or common law doctrine which Employee might assert against Ferrell. Employee waives any right to recover in any lawsuit brought on his behalf by any government agency or other person. Except as specifically provided, this paragraph does not release any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any rights or Employee’s interest existing (as of the Effective Date) in the Ferrell Companies, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ferrellgas Unit Option Plan, the Ferrell Companies, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the Ferrell Companies, Inc. 401(k) Investment Plan, or the Ferrell Companies, Inc. Supplemental Savings Plan.  This provision specifically releases any claims by Employee pursuant to his executive employment agreement with Ferrell dated August 10, 2009.

5.Employee acknowledges that he has been employed by Ferrell in a senior management capacity and has supervised employees conducting business throughout the United States, including employees directly involved in sales and marketing to Ferrellgas retail and wholesale customers, including national and government accounts.  In the course of his employment, Employee has received significant Confidential Information (as defined in his Employee Agreement), including specific information regarding Ferrell’s strategies, suppliers, product costs and customers throughout the United States and has participated in all meetings of the executive committee and board of directors of Ferrell.  For that reason, and in consideration of the financial benefits granted to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that any employment in the propane industry during the first two years of the Advisory Period would result in the inevitable disclosure and/or use of such Confidential Information to the detriment of Ferrell.  Therefore, Employee agrees not to accept employment in the propane industry in whole or in part within the United States during the the two-year period immediately following the Effective Date.  Employee may engage in consulting services within the propane industry during that period; provided, however that any such services: a) do not involve the use or disclosure of Confidential Information, b) are not related to transactions involving Ferrellgas, c) are not related to the solicitation or sale of propane by another entity or person to retail or wholesale Customers of Ferrellgas (as defined in the Employees employment agreements with Ferrellgas), d) are not related to other matters of direct competition with Ferrellgas.

6.Employee promises to treat as confidential and to disclose to no person (other than a legal or financial advisor, spouse or other business associates to the extent commercially reasonable) the terms or conditions of this Agreement and Release. Employee further promises not to make any derogatory, disparaging or false statements to any third parties intended to harm the business or personal reputation of Ferrell, its directors, officers and employees.

7.Employee understands and agrees that if he violates any promises, Ferrell may pursue all permissible remedies to redress such violations including seeking repayment of all payments made under this Agreement and Release and recovery of costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.  If Employee violates any promises during his period of

3

advisory employment, in addition to its other remedies Ferrell may terminate Employee’s employment as an advisor and cease any additional vesting of any benefit or option.

8.Employee agrees that the Employee Agreement signed by him on January 29, 1991, his FCI Option Grantee Agreements, his Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. Option Agreement signed by him, copies which are incorporated herein by reference, and/or any similar agreements, are enforceable agreements by the Parties to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, that his obligations under these agreements inure to the benefit of Ferrell, and that this Agreement and Release does not release him from any obligations under them or under any other contract which obligates Employee not to reveal the Confidential Information of Ferrellgas.  The parties agree that, notwithstanding Section 4 of this Agreement, the terms of the FCI Nonqualified Stock Option Agreements entered into between the Employee and Ferrell Companies, Inc. remain in full force and effect and are not terminated or released by this document.

9.Employee agrees to remain available (upon reasonable prior notice) to consult with Ferrell in connection with any claims or litigation involving Ferrell and any transitional matters involving Employee’s prior duties with Ferrell. Ferrell shall reimburse Employee for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such consultation.

10.This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Kansas, except with respect to the issuance, ownership and exercise of options or stock appreciation rights, which shall be governed by the state of Delaware.
