                                 THIRD AMENDMENT

The Employment Agreement dated March 5, 1996, as amended October 23, 1997 and
April 14, 1999 between Mark A. Alexander (the "Executive") and Suburban Propane,
L.P. (the "Partnership") (collectively, the "Employment Agreement") is hereby
modified and amended this ____ day of ____,____, as follows:

Section 6.4 (Excise Taxes) is hereby amended by adding a new subparagraph (e) as
follows:

         (e) In the event any additional taxes are imposed under Section 409A of
         the Code (i.e., an amount calculated as interest under
         409A(a)(1)(B)(ii) or an amount described as an additional 20% of
         includable compensation under 409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the Code) on any
         compensation to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to this
         Agreement, the Partnership shall pay to the Executive (x) an amount
         equal to such additional taxes and (y) an additional amount such that
         after payment of any additional federal, state and local income and
         employment taxes by reason of the amounts paid by the Partnership
         pursuant to this Section 6.4(e), the Executive shall receive an amount
         equal to the additional taxes described in clause (x). The
         determination as to whether such additional taxes will apply shall be
         made by the Partnership and payment shall (to the extent the
         Partnership has knowledge of such additional taxes) be made by the
         Partnership prior to the date the additional taxes are due to be paid
         by the Executive. The Executive may notify the Partnership at any time
         if he believes he has incurred additional taxes under Section 409A of
         the Code on any compensation to which he is entitled to under this
         Agreement, but the Executive's failure to notify the Partnership shall
         not result in any waiver or forfeiture of his rights under this Section
         6.4(e). The Partnership and the Executive each agrees to execute and
         deliver any reasonable change to this Agreement (other than this
         Section 6.4(e)) as the Partnership or the Executive requests, after
         consultation with respective counsel, to comply with Section 409A of
         the Code; provided that no change that reduces the then present value
         of the payments due (or potentially due) to the Executive pursuant to
         this Agreement (without taking into account this Section 6.4(e)) shall
         be deemed to be reasonable. The provisions of this paragraph shall
         survive termination of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment is duly executed as of the effective date
noted above.

Mark A. Alexander                           Suburban Propane, L.P.

         includable compensation under 409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the Code) on any
         compensation to which you are entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the
         Partnership shall pay you (x) an amount equal to such additional taxes
         and (y) an additional amount such that after payment of any additional
         federal, state and local income and employment taxes by reason of the
         amounts paid by the Partnership pursuant to this paragraph, you shall
         receive an amount equal to the additional taxes described in clause
         (x). The determination as to whether such additional taxes will apply

         Partnership has knowledge of such additional taxes) be made by the
         Partnership prior to the date the additional taxes are due to be paid
         by you. The Partnership's determination with respect to the
         applicability and amount of additional taxes shall be final and binding

                     (AMENDED AND RESTATED JANUARY 1, 2004)

Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Compensation Deferral Plan of Suburban Propane
Partners, L.P. and Suburban Propane, L.P., amended and restated January 1, 2004,
(the "Plan"), the Board of Supervisors of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), hereby amends the Plan as follows:

1. Sections 5 and 6.5 of the Plan are hereby amended to adding the following to
the end thereof:

              Notwithstanding any other provision in the Deferral Plan to the
              contrary, effective January 1, 2005, no further deferral elections

2. The first sentence of Section 6.1(c) is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Deferral Plan to the
         contrary, a Participant will receive payment of his or her account

         that a Change in Control has occurred.

3. The following new Section 8.10 is hereby added:

         8.10: COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. To the extent
         applicable, it is intended that this Deferral Plan comply with the

         (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section

necessary to put into effect the foregoing amendment.

This amendment shall be effective as of the date first stated above.
