ARTICLE I PURPOSE AND APPROVAL

The purpose of this Plan is to strengthen Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the &lsquo&lsquoPartnership&rsquo&rsquo), by providing an incentive to certain selected employees and Elected Supervisors of the Partnership and affiliated entities, and thereby encouraging them to devote their abilities and industry to the success of the Partnership&rsquos business enterprise in such a manner as to maximize the Partnership&rsquos value. It is intended that this purpose be achieved by extending to such individuals an added long-term incentive for continued service to the Partnership, and for high levels of performance and unusual efforts which enhance the Partnership&rsquos value through the grant of rights to receive Common Units (as hereinafter defined) of the Partnership.

A &lsquo&lsquoNon-Control Acquisition&rsquo&rsquo shall mean an acquisition by (x) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part there) maintained by (A) the Partnership or Suburban Propane, L.P. or (B) any corporation, partnership or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Partnership, (y) the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, or (z) any Person or More than One Person Acting as a Group in connection with a &lsquo&lsquoNon-Control Transaction&rsquo’ or

For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Partnership, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liability associated with such assets. A transaction described in clause (A) or (B) of subsection (x) hereof shall be referred to as a &lsquo&lsquoNon-Control Transaction.&rsquo&rsquo

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the &lsquo&lsquoSubject Person&rsquo&rsquo) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Partnership which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of Common Units Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change of Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Partnership, and after such acquisition of Voting Securities by the Partnership, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change of Control shall occur.
