(e)     No "Bad Actor" Disqualification Events.  Neither (i) the Investor, (ii) any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members, nor (iii) any beneficial owner of any of the Company's voting equity securities (in accordance with Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) held by the Investor is subject to any Disqualification Event (as defined in Section 5(r)), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed reasonably in advance of the Closing in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

11. Right of Participation.

(a)     Right of Participation.  For so long as any of the Class C Units remain outstanding or for as long as the Investor holds any equity or other debt securities of the Company, the Investor shall have the right of participation to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 11(a)(i)) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement.  The Investor's pro rata share, for purposes of this right of participation, is equal to the membership interest percentage owned by the Investor immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities (assuming full conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants held by the Investor).  This right of participation shall be subject to the following provisions:

(i)   "New Securities" shall mean any Non-incentive Units of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, convertible securities, options or warrants to purchase such Non-incentive Units, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, exercisable or convertible into Non-incentive Units; provided that the term "New Securities" does not include:

1)   securities issued or issuable to officers, employees, directors, consultants, placement agents, and other service providers of the Company (or any subsidiary) pursuant to option plans, purchase plans, agreements or other employee incentive programs or arrangements approved by the Board;

12

2)   securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any outstanding convertible or exercisable securities as of this date of this Agreement;

3) s  ecurities issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Incentive Units or Non-incentive Units of the Company;

4)   securities offered pursuant to a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America;

5)   any right, option or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to subsections (1) through (5) above.

6)   up to 5,458 other securities not issued for financing purposes (as adjusted for combinations, splits, recapitalizations and other similar actions with respect to the outstanding securities of the Company).

(b)     Notices.  In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give the Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same.  The Investor shall have twenty (20) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase its pro rata share of such New Securities by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

(c)     Procedures.  In the event the Investor fails to exercise fully the right of participation within said ten (10) day period (the "Election Period"), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of said agreement) to sell that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Investor's right of participation option set forth in this Section 11 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice to the Investor delivered pursuant to Section 11(b).  In the event the Company has not sold within such ninety (90) day period following the Election Period, or such ninety (90) day period following the date of said agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Investor in the manner provided in this Section 11.

(d)     Termination.  The right of participation granted under this Section 11 shall expire upon, and shall not be applicable to, the Company's Initial Public Offering.

12. Pari Passu Anti-Dilution Right. In the event any of the other Non-incentive Units of the Company are provided with any anti-dilution adjustments in connection with the issuance of additional securities of the Company, including, without limitation, in connection with Unit splits, distributions, the issuance of additional securities of the Company at a valuation that is less than the valuation at which the Investor purchases the Class C Units and other similar events, the Company shall provide substantially equivalent rights to the Investor with respect to the Class C Units (with appropriate adjustment for economic terms or other contractual rights), subject to the Investor's execution of any documentation executed by the holders of such other Non-incentive Units in connection with the grant of the anti-dilution adjustments.

13

13. Miscellaneous.

(a)     Waivers and Amendments.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the Company and the Investor.

(b)     Governing Law.  This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Tennessee or of any other state.

Receivable,

(iv) which by its terms is due and payable within 30 days of the original billing date
therefore and has not had its payment terms extended, provided that Receivables due and
payable between 31 and 90 days of the original billing date in an aggregate amount not to

jurisdictions,

(vi) which is denominated and payable only in United States dollars in the United

force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related
Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms subject to no offset,
counterclaim or other defense,

(viii) which arises under an invoice which (A) does not require the Obligor under such
invoice to consent to the transfer, sale or assignment of the rights and duties of the
applicable Originator or any of its assignees under such invoice and (B) does not contain a
confidentiality provision that purports to restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent
to exercise its rights, on behalf of the Purchasers, under the Transaction Documents,
including, without limitation, its right to review such invoice,

(ix) which arises under an invoice that contains an obligation to pay a specified sum
of money, contingent only upon the sale of propane, propane appliances or other related
goods or the provision of services by the applicable Originator,

(x) which, together with the invoice related thereto, does not contravene any law,
rule or regulation applicable thereto (including, without limitation, any law, rule and
regulation relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal
credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy) and with respect to which
no part of the invoice related thereto is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation,

related goods or the provision of services to the related Obligor by the applicable
Originator, and not by any other Person (in whole or in part),

(xiv) as to which the Administrative Agent has not notified Seller that the
Administrative Agent has determined, in the exercise of its commercially reasonable credit
judgment, that such Receivable or class of Receivables is not acceptable as an Eligible
Receivable,

(xv) which is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, any other
defense (including defenses arising out of violations of usury laws) of the applicable
Obligor against the applicable Originator or any other Adverse Claim, and the Obligor
thereon holds no right as against such Originator to cause such Originator to repurchase
the propane, propane appliances or other related goods the sale of which shall have given
rise to such Receivable (except with respect to sale discounts effected pursuant to the
invoice, or defective goods returned in accordance with the terms of the invoice),

(xvi) as to which the applicable Originator has satisfied and fully performed all
obligations on its part with respect to such Receivable required to be fulfilled by it, and
no further action is required to be performed by any Person with respect thereto other than
payment thereon by the applicable Obligor,

Claim other than a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent, and

(xviii) which is reported on PeopleSoft or Navision or such other similar system that
is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receivables associated with the “level-pay program” shall be
Eligible Receivables to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Receivables does not
exceed 20% of total Retail Receivables. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Receivables
associated with the “level-pay program” shall be counted towards the percentage in the
preceding sentence and shall be Eligible Receivables only if the account balance of
the Obligor participating in the level-pay program is a debit, and (b) anything contained
in the representations, covenants or indemnities of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event will the failure to perfect the Administrative Agent’s
security interest in Eligible Receivables permitted under clause (i)(a), (i)(b) or (i)(c)
of this definition under foreign law, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or similar
legislation, as applicable, give rise to an Amortization Event or to Indemnified Amounts.

“Interim Reporting Date” means (a) the third Business Day of each calendar week, (b)
the eighth Business Day of each calendar month beginning on or after May 1, 2012, (c) each
Business Day following not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice from the
Administrative Agent that it desires daily reporting, and (d) each other Business Day
selected by the Servicer.

“LMIR” means, for any day, the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the one-month “Eurodollar
Rate” for U.S. dollar deposits as reported on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such
other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page), and (ii) 0%, plus (b) the
Applicable Margin.

“Scheduled Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of (a) the stated maturity
date under the Credit Agreement (or any replacement thereof and as the same may be modified
from time to time regardless of whether the Agents under this Agreement consent to such
modification), and (b) July 29, 2019.

“Unused Fee” means, on each Monthly Payment Date, a fully-earned and non-refundable
fee payable by the Seller to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the
Purchasers, equal to 0.35% per annum multiplied by the average daily excess, if
any, during the Accrual Period then most recently ended of (i) the Aggregate Commitments
