Section 4.Quarterly Distributions.

(a)

Each Senior Preferred Unit and PIK Unit shall be entitled to Quarterly Distributions on each Quarterly Distribution Date equal to the Quarterly Distribution Amount, provided that, the

distribution payable on the first Quarterly Distribution Date following the Effective Date shall be a pro rata amount based on the number of days in such period divided by ninety (90). Quarterly Distributions shall be cumulative and shall accrue daily based on a year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days, and except as provided in Section 4(b), shall be paid in cash.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 4(a), in lieu of paying any Quarterly Distribution in cash the Partnership may pay any Quarterly Distribution (or any portion thereof) through the issuance of PIK Units in the Quarterly Distribution Amount, which PIK Units shall be duly authorized and validly issued. PIK Units shall be deemed to be issued by the Partnership to the extent it does not distribute cash on any Quarterly Distribution Date, without the need for any election, notice or any other action by the Partnership or the Senior Holders. The Partnership shall take all such actions as may be necessary to reflect the issuance of such PIK Units on such Quarterly Distribution Date on its books and records. The following rules and example shall apply to issuances of PIK Units:

(i)

If the Partnership issues PIK Units on any Quarterly Distribution Date, then the number of PIK Units to be issued with respect to each outstanding Senior Preferred Unit and PIK Unit shall be equal to the quotient of (a) the Quarterly Distribution Amount reduced by the amount of cash distributed for such Quarterly Distribution (if any), divided by (b) $1.00. PIK Units shall be related to the Senior Preferred Units upon which they were distributed, or if distributed upon PIK Units, to the same Senior Preferred Units as the PIK Units upon which they were distributed. PIK Units shall be issued in fractional amounts to the nearest hundredth, with fractions greater than 0.005 rounded up. All Quarterly Distributions paid with respect to Senior Preferred Units shall be paid pro rata to the Holders in proportion to the Quarterly Distribution Amount due on each Senior Preferred Unit on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Date and, to the extent paid in a combination of cash and the issuance of PIK Units, shall be allocated proportionately to each Senior Preferred Unit.

(ii)

PIK Units shall not be treated as Partnership Interests separate from the Senior Preferred Units with respect to which they relate. PIK Units (and their issuance) shall not have a separate holding period, result in adjustments pursuant to Code §§ 734 or 704(c), increase or decrease the Capital Account of a Senior Holder, or have similar tax consequences. PIK Units must and shall be transferred with the Senior Preferred Units to which they relate, and PIK Units are not transferable separate from the Senior Preferred Units to which they relate.

(iii)

For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the Distribution Rate were initially 9% and the Partnership issued PIK Units in lieu of cash with respect to Senior Preferred Units on the second Quarterly Distribution Date following the Effective Date (for which the PIK Penalty Rate was 0.75%), 24.38 PIK Units would be issued

with respect to each Senior Preferred Unit, with a PIK Unit Value of $1.00 each, calculated as (a) $1,000 (the Purchase Price for each Preferred Senior Unit), multiplied by (b)(X) 9% (the Distribution Rate for such Quarterly Distribution Date) plus (Y) 0.75% (the PIK Penalty Rate for such Quarterly Distribution Date), with the result divided by four (4). This example shall be considered an operative provision of this Amendment.

(iv)

For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the Distribution Rate were initially 9% and the Partnership issued PIK Units in lieu of cash with respect to PIK Units that were outstanding on the second Quarterly Distribution Date following the Effective Date (for which the PIK Penalty Rate was 0.75%), then an additional 0.02 PIK Units would be issued with respect to each outstanding PIK Unit, with a PIK Unit Value of $1.00 each, calculated as (a) $1.00 (the PIK Unit Value), multiplied by (b)(X) 9% (the Distribution Rate for such Quarterly Distribution Date) plus (Y) 0.75% (the PIK Penalty Rate for such Quarterly Distribution Date), with the result divided by four (4). This example shall be considered an operative provision of this Amendment.

(c)

The Partnership shall distribute to each Senior Holder in cash on each Quarterly Tax Payment Date the Quarterly Tax Amount (with any such distribution being a “Tax Distribution”). Tax Distributions shall be treated as advances of and reduce the next cash payments by the Partnership to the Senior Holders for any reason, including a Quarterly Distribution Amount, payments in redemption of Senior Preferred Units or of PIK Units, or payments to the Senior Holders in their capacity as such pursuant to any side letter or other agreement. Failure to make a Tax Distribution or Senior Preferred Additional Amounts to the extent not permitted by the 2021 Indenture or the Revolving Credit Facility shall not be a breach of this Amendment.

(d)

In addition to the distribution rights provided in this Amendment, certain Initial Holders may be entitled to Senior Preferred Additional Amounts. Any right of Initial Holders to such Senior Preferred Additional Amounts shall be documented in a side letter or other agreement dated the Effective Date between such Initial Holders and the Partnership and set forth on Schedule III. Upon request by any Initial Holder, the Partnership shall provide a copy of any such side letter or other agreement to the requesting Initial Holders. Under no circumstance shall an Initial Holder amend any side letter or enter into any new side letter or agreement, in each case after the Effective Date, which would entitle any Initial Holder or other Senior Holder to Senior Preferred Additional Amounts, including any Permitted Transferee of such Initial Holder.

Section 5.Redemption Rights. The Partnership may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Preferred Units for cash, at any time and from time to time, including in connection with any Change of Control, at a price for each such Senior Preferred Unit equal to the Total Redemption Price (any such redemption, along with any redemption of PIK Units pursuant to Section 5(f), a

“Distribution in Redemption”); provided, that at any time when there are PIK Units outstanding, the Partnership may not redeem any Senior Preferred Units until all PIK Units shall have been redeemed or will be redeemed concurrently for the PIK Redemption Price. The following rules shall apply to Distributions in Redemption:

(a)

The “Total Redemption Price” of a Senior Preferred Unit shall be equal to the accumulated but unpaid Quarterly Distributions to the Redemption Date, if any, with respect to such Senior Preferred Unit, plus the greater of:

(i)

an amount that would result in the Applicable IRR on the Purchase Price of such Senior Preferred Unit; and

(ii)

an amount that would result in a MOIC of 1.47 times the Purchase Price of such Senior Preferred Unit.

If the Partnership redeems less than all outstanding Senior Preferred Units, then such redemption shall be a pro rata redemption of all Senior Preferred Units held by each Senior Holder (a “Partial Redemption”). Partial Redemptions shall be permitted only if the total amount payable with respect to such Partial Redemption is equal to or greater than $25,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable IRR and the MOIC to be paid with respect to any redemption shall be calculated with respect to each such Senior Preferred Unit being redeemed, and not on a combined or cumulative basis. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the MOIC does not apply to PIK Unit redemptions.

(b)

The following rules and procedures shall apply to redemptions of Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units:

(i)

At least three (3) Business Days prior to making a Distribution in Redemption pursuant to clause (ii) below, the Partnership shall provide an irrevocable notice of redemption to the Senior Holders that it shall make a Distribution in Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”). Each Redemption Notice shall include the following information:

(1)

the total dollar amount to be distributed;

(2)

if a Partial Redemption, the total number of Senior Preferred Units and/or PIK Units to be redeemed and the percentage of Senior Preferred Units and/or PIK Units held by each Senior Holder to be redeemed; and

(3)

the date on which the Partnership will pay the Total Redemption Price and/or the PIK Redemption Price, which date shall be no later than thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of such Redemption Notice.

Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment, the Partnership’s failure to deliver or issue a Redemption Notice to any Senior Holder shall not affect the validity or effective date of any Distribution in Redemption, including a Partial Redemption. Once a Redemption Notice is delivered in accordance with this Section 5(b)(i), Senior Preferred Units and/or PIK Units being called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the date and for the amount set forth in such Redemption Notice.

(ii)

A Distribution in Redemption shall be effective on the day the Partnership pays the Total Redemption Price and/or the PIK Redemption Price (even if such date is prior to the date provided in the Redemption Notice).

(c)

At any time beginning on the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, the Required Holders shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units, at the applicable redemption price in accordance with this Amendment, (i) if any Class B Units are outstanding, or (ii) if no Class B Units are outstanding and no more than 233,300 Senior Preferred Units are outstanding at such time. Required Holders shall deliver written notice of such election to the Partnership at least thirty (30) days prior to the requested date of any redemption pursuant to this Section 5(c).

(d)

Upon a Change of Control, Required Holders (calculated for this purpose without including any Senior Holders participating as new money debt or equity financing sources for such Change of Control transaction) shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units, in each case, at the applicable redemption price in accordance with this Amendment, on a pro rata basis among all the Senior Holders, if, to the extent required due to such Change of Control, the Partnership (or a third party) shall have first (i) offered to purchase High Yield Notes in accordance with and to the extent provided in the 2021 Indenture, and (ii) purchased any High Yield Notes actually tendered pursuant to such offer (if any). Payment in respect of any redemption made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in full in cash, immediately following the purchase by the Partnership (or such third party) of any High Yield Notes actually tendered in connection with such purchase offer.

(e)

At any time beginning on the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, if (i) no Class B Units are outstanding and (ii) more than 233,300 Senior Preferred Units are outstanding, then the Required Holders may require the Partnership to initiate a sale of the Partnership by delivering a written notice to the Partnership. If the Partnership fails to consummate a sale that would pay the Total Redemption Price and the PIK Redemption Price for each outstanding Senior Preferred Unit and PIK Unit, respectively, in full in cash within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the written notice from the Required Holders requiring such sale, then the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a majority of the Board

or other relevant governing entity and initiate a sale of the Partnership. The Partnership shall take all actions necessary to consummate such sale.

(f)

Any time PIK Units are outstanding, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of such PIK Units for cash. If all outstanding PIK Units are not being redeemed, then such redemption shall be a pro rata redemption of all PIK Units held by each Senior Holder. The redemption price (“PIK Redemption Price”) of each such PIK Unit shall be an amount equal to the PIK Unit Value plus an amount that will result in the Applicable IRR on the PIK Unit Value for such PIK Unit. The Partnership may redeem PIK Units by following procedures similar to those provided in Section 5(a) of this Amendment, provided that any redemption of PIK Units shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the calculation of the Applicable IRR for such PIK Redemption Price, all cash distributions made on such PIK Unit shall be included, other than (i) cash payments paid in respect of any penalty accrued during a Protective Step-Up Period, paid with respect to such PIK Unit; (ii) any Senior Preferred Additional Amounts; (iii) the Discount and any out of pocket expenses reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement or this Amendment; and (iv) any amounts paid pursuant to rights to indemnification under Section 17 or in respect of any breaches of the Investment Agreement. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the MOIC in Section 5(a)(ii) does not apply to any PIK Unit redemptions.

(g)

Any redemption, offer of redemption or offer to purchase shall be made on a pro rata basis.

Section 6.Distributions on Common Units. Commencing on April 30, 2021, so long as (i) the Partnership has made all required Quarterly Distributions (in cash or PIK Units), made all required Tax Distributions with respect to the Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units and paid all Senior Preferred Additional Amounts then due and owing; (ii) the Partnership has previously or contemporaneously with the distribution redeemed all PIK Units (if any) outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Amendment; (iii) the Partnership is not in, and will not be in, breach of any of the provisions set forth in Section 10 both immediately before and after giving effect to such distribution (including compliance with the Liquidity Covenant); (iv) the Partnership Leverage is below 7.00 (or 7.25 through May 15, 2022) both immediately before and after giving effect to distributions under this Section 6; and (v) the Partnership has delivered an officer’s certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Partnership that such conditions have been satisfied, then the Partnership shall be permitted on each such date the foregoing conditions are satisfied to make distributions of Available Cash with respect to its Common Units. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall not be permitted to make distributions with respect to its Common Units prior to April 30, 2021.

Section 7.Tax Matters.

(a)

Unless and until required by a final determination within the meaning of Code §1313, each taxable year, before making any allocations pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Partnership

Agreement except allocations required by Section 5.1(d) of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall specially allocate gross income to each Senior Preferred Unit and PIK Unit equal to the sum of (i) cash distributed with respect to such Senior Preferred Unit and such PIK Units during such taxable year, plus (ii) the aggregate PIK Unit Value of all PIK Units issued with respect to such Senior Preferred Unit and such PIK Unit in lieu of cash during such taxable year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Partnership Agreement, for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Partnership shall not allocate items of income or deduction to any Senior Preferred Unit or PIK Unit for any taxable year other than the amounts in the preceding sentence.

(b)

Upon a redemption of the Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units, there shall be a “catch-up” allocation of gross income to the Senior Holders in an amount equal to any Redemption Premium (to the extent of the gross income for the taxable year of such redemption), and any such excess of the Redemption Premium over the gross income so allocated shall be treated as a guaranteed payment determined without regard to the income of the Partnership under Code §707(c). Additionally, for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership and the Initial Holders agree to treat the purchase of the Senior Preferred Units and the payment of the Discount together as if the Initial Holders purchased the Senior Preferred Units at a three percent (3%) discount.

(c)

The Partnership shall be entitled to withhold any amounts it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law as a result of any allocations of income, cash distributions, distributions of PIK Units, payment of guaranteed payments, or as otherwise required by law. Any Withholding Amount shall be a deemed cash distribution to the Senior Holder who is or was subject to such withholding. For the avoidance of doubt, any Withholding Amount shall be considered an actual cash distribution for all purposes of this Amendment. If the applicable federal, state or local law or regulations thereunder specify the date on which a deemed distribution shall occur, then such date shall control for all purposes, including all purposes of this Amendment; provided, if applicable laws or regulations do not specify a deemed distribution date then the Withholding Amount shall be deemed distributed on the earlier of (i) the date that the Partnership is required to remit the Withholding Amount to the applicable taxing authority, and (ii) the date that the Partnership actually remits the Withholding Amount to the applicable taxing authority. Any Withholding Amount shall be applied as follows:

(i)

First, the Withholding Amount shall be treated as an advance of any accrued but unpaid Quarterly Distributions or Tax Distributions,

(ii)

Second, the Withholding Amount shall be applied to redeem PIK Units, and

(iii)

Third, after all PIK Units have been redeemed, any remaining Withholding Amount shall be applied as a Distribution in Redemption of the Senior Preferred Units.

For purposes of this Section 7(c) any restrictions on distributions or payments in this Amendment shall not apply.

Section 8.Voting and Board Rights.

(a)Except as specifically required by law, pursuant to Section 10, Section 18, or Section 6.16 of the MLP Partnership Agreement, Senior Holders shall have no voting rights.

(b)For so long as at least 140,000 Senior Preferred Units remain outstanding, the Senior Holders shall have the right to designate one (1) director (“Preferred Director”) to the Board, subject to approval by the General Partner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Craig Snyder shall serve as the Preferred Director for the first twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date. If Craig Snyder resigns or is removed as the Preferred Director within the first twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date, the Ares Holders shall have the right to designate his replacement (the “Ares Replacement Director”) to serve as the Preferred Director for the remainder of such twenty-four (24) month period. Following the second anniversary of the Effective Date, or prior to such time if Craig Snyder resigns or is removed and the Ares Holders choose not to designate an Ares Replacement Director, Senior Holders, voting separately as a class, may replace the Preferred Director with a new designee, subject to the approval by the General Partner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, upon a vote of Senior Holders holding at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding Senior Preferred Units. The rights of the Senior Holders to vote for the Preferred Director in accordance with this Section 8 shall at all times be subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement. In the event that Craig Snyder or the Ares Replacement Director is replaced as the Preferred Director, the Partnership shall be required to provide the Ares Holders with all materials provided to the Board, concurrently with delivery of such materials to the Board.

Section 9.Liquidation Rights. Upon liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Partnership Agreement, after payment of all amounts specified in Section 13.3(a) of the Partnership Agreement (other than with respect to Partners who are creditors) but before payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 13.3(b) of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall make a payment (i) in liquidation of the Senior Preferred Units equal to the Total Redemption Price, and (ii) in liquidation of outstanding PIK Units (if any) equal to the PIK Redemption Price.

Section 10.Protective Provisions.

(a)For so long as Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units with an aggregate Purchase Price and PIK Unit Price of at least $35,000,000 in the aggregate are outstanding, the following covenants shall apply for the benefit of the Senior Holders, unless otherwise waived by the Required Holders (and for the avoidance of doubt, if at any time Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units with an aggregate Purchase Price and PIK Unit Price of at least $35,000,000 are not outstanding but then subsequently Senior Preferred Units and PIK Units with an aggregate Purchase

Price and PIK Unit Price of at least $35,000,000 become outstanding again, the following covenants shall automatically apply again at such time):

With respect to any transaction involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater than $10,000,000, the Partnership shall have obtained and delivered to the Senior Holders an opinion from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Partnership and its subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that such transaction meets the requirements set forth in the preceding clause (i);

(ix)none of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., the Partnership and any of their respective subsidiaries shall redeem or repurchase any equity interests of the Partnership or such subsidiaries having preferences, rights, or privileges ranking junior to the Senior Preferred Units or PIK Units; provided, however, (i) the Partnership may make distributions to the holders of the Common Units as provided in Section 6 and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Amendment shall prohibit Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. from making distributions to holders of its partnership interests;

(x)neither the Partnership nor any of its subsidiaries shall authorize or make any distributions except as expressly permitted in this Amendment;

(xi)none of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., the Partnership, and any of their respective subsidiaries may incur any Indebtedness, except (i) Indebtedness incurred and outstanding at any time under the Revolving Credit Agreement (in an amount up to the aggregate commitments under such Revolving Credit Agreement on the Effective Date) or High Yield Notes (in an amount up to the aggregate initial principal amount of such High Yield Notes on the Effective Date), (ii) additional Indebtedness that does not exceed $75,000,000 in the aggregate, and (iii) the incurrence of Indebtedness in connection with customary refinancing of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement (in an amount up to the aggregate commitments under such Revolving Credit Agreement on the Effective Date) and the High Yield Notes (in an amount up to the aggregate initial principal

(b)For so long as any Senior Preferred Units or PIK Units remain outstanding, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P or the Partnership shall deliver to the Senior Holders (i) audited annual financial statements within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, unaudited quarterly financial statements within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter and unaudited monthly financial statements within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, (ii) to the extent otherwise prepared by the General Partner, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. or the Partnership, (A) all information provided to, or required to be provided to, the Revolving Credit Agreement Agent or the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, for so long as the Revolving Credit Agreement is in effect, or the trustee or holders of the High Yield Notes under the 2021 Indentures, for so long as either 2021 Indenture is in effect, or, in each case, if directly or
