AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLE INTEREST SALE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLE INTEREST SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 2007 (this “Amendment”), is entered into by Ferrellgas, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Originator”), and Ferrellgas Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), and pertains to the Amended and Restated Receivables Interest Sale Agreement dated as of June 7, 2005 between Originator and Buyer (as heretofore amended, the “Existing Agreement”). The Existing Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement.” Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I to the Existing Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Existing Agreement as hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, is willing to consent to such amendment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendment. The definition of “Pool Receivables” in Exhibit I to the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Pool Receivables” means, collectively, all Eligible Receivables existing on the Initial Computation Date and all Eligible Receivables arising after the Initial Computation Date through and including the Termination Date, and “Pool Receivable” means any such Eligible Receivable individually. For the avoidance of doubt, a Receivable shall cease to be a Pool Receivable if on any day prior to the Termination Date, such Receivable ceases to be an Eligible Receivable, but shall continue to be a Pool Receivable if it ceases to be an Eligible Receivable on or after the Termination Date. For purposes of calculating the amount of all “Pool Receivables” at any time, such amount shall be the Outstanding Balance of all such Pool Receivables minus the amount set forth in the table below opposite the applicable month:
