Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory.  Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.,” and together, with the Company, the “Issuers”), propose to issue and sell to the several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Initial Purchasers”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Securities”). Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) has agreed to act as representative (the “Representative”) of the several Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2010, by and among the Issuers and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2010, and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof) (collectively, the “Indenture”). The Securities will be issued only in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to a blanket letter of representations and the riders thereto, to be dated on or before the Closing Date (the “DTC Agreement”), among the Issuers, the Trustee and the Depositary.

The Issuers have previously issued $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 under the Indenture and subsequently redeemed $98,000,000 in principal amount of such notes, leaving $182,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 currently outstanding (the “Existing Securities”). The Securities offered by the Issuers pursuant to this Purchase Agreement constitute an issuance of “Additional Notes” under the Indenture. Except as otherwise described in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below), the Securities offered by the Issuers pursuant to this Purchase Agreement will have identical terms to the Existing Securities and will be treated as a single class of “Notes” for all purposes under the Indenture.

The Issuers intend to use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities to repay borrowings under the secured credit agreement, dated as of November 2, 2009 (as amended, the

“Credit Facility”), of Ferrellgas, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).

The holders of the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Issuers will agree to file with the Commission (as defined below), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Issuers with terms substantially identical to the Securities (the “Exchange Securities”) to be offered in exchange for the Securities (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Securities, and in each case, to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective.

The Issuers, the Operating Partnership and Ferrellgas, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the general partner of the Company and the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner” and, together with the Issuers and the Operating Partnership, the “Ferrellgas Parties”) understand that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agree that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)).

The Issuers have prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated January 23, 2017 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and have prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated the date hereof (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Issuers will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”).

All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final Offering Memorandum” shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities

2

Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) prior to the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or the Final Offering Memorandum (as the case may be), and all references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Final Offering Memorandum.

(c)                                  Neither the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, nor the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or (as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 3(a), as applicable) as of the Closing Date, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuers in writing by any Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described in Section 7(b) hereof.

The Issuers have not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the Initial Purchasers’ distribution of the Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(d)                                 The Issuers have not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or distributed and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or distribute any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Issuers or their agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below) an “Issuer Additional Written Communication”) other than (i) the Pricing Disclosure Package, (ii) the Final Offering Memorandum, and (iii) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case used in accordance with Section 3(a). Each such Issuer Additional Written Communication, when taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package, did not as of the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from each such Issuer Additional Written Communication made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuers in writing by any Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in any Issuer Additional Written Communication.

Each of the Issuers and the Operating Partnership has carried out evaluations, under the supervision and with the participation of its respective management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its respective disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. The Issuers’ auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of any internal controls of the Issuers and the Operating Partnership that could adversely affect the ability of the Issuers and the Operating Partnership to record, process, summarize, and report financial data or any material weaknesses in internal controls; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in any of the Ferrellgas Parties’ internal controls.

No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by an Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by an Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(19) of ERISA) which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ccc)                      None of the Ferrellgas Parties nor any subsidiary, director, employee or officer thereof, nor, to the knowledge of the Ferrellgas Parties, any affiliate or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Ferrellgas Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries is the subject or target of Sanctions. None of the Ferrellgas Parties nor any subsidiary thereof, is located, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country. No part of the proceeds of the offering of the Securities hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, by the Issuers in violation of Sanctions. For purposes hereof: (i) “Sanctions” shall mean economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by (a) the U.S. government, including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the U.S. Department of State or other relevant sanctions authority, or (b) the Canadian Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and (ii) “Sanctioned Country” shall mean, at any time, a country or territory which is itself the subject or target of any Sanctions (at the time of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).

Delivery of certificates for the Securities in definitive form to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and payment therefor shall be made at the offices of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, One New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004 (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and Merrill Lynch at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on January 30, 2017, or such other time and date as Merrill Lynch shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called the “Closing Date”).

(c)                                  Delivery of the Securities. The Issuers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Merrill Lynch for the accounts of the several Initial Purchasers certificates for the Securities at the Closing Date against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor.

SECTION 3.                            Certain Agreements of the Ferrellgas Parties. Each of the Ferrellgas Parties, jointly and severally, agrees with the several Initial Purchasers that:

(a)                                 As promptly as practicable following the Time of Sale, the Issuers will prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchasers the Final Offering Memorandum, which shall consist of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum as modified only by the information contained in the Pricing Supplement. The Issuers will not amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Pricing Supplement. The Issuers will not amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum prior to the Closing Date unless the Initial Purchasers shall not have objected to such amendment or supplement. If, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers, any event occurs as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if in the judgment of the Merrill Lynch or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Issuers promptly will notify Merrill Lynch of such event and promptly will prepare, at their own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission. The Initial Purchasers’ delivery to offerees or

17

investors of any such amendment or supplement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof. Before making or distributing any Issuer Additional Written Communication, the Issuers will furnish to the Initial Purchasers a copy of such written communication for review and will not distribute any such written communication to which Merrill Lynch reasonably objects.

Each of the Ferrellgas Parties hereby expressly acknowledges that the indemnification and contribution provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof are specifically applicable and relate to each offering memorandum, registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement referred to in this Section 3.

(b)                                 The Issuers will furnish to the Initial Purchasers copies of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case, as soon as available and in such quantities as the Initial Purchasers reasonably request. Each of the Ferrellgas Parties, jointly and severally, will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Initial Purchasers all such documents.

(c)                                  The Issuers will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers and counsel thereto in connection with the qualification of the Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Merrill Lynch designates and the continuation of such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the Issuers shall be required to qualify as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, in any jurisdiction in which they are not so qualified or subject themselves to taxation in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where they are not then so subject (except service of process with respect to the offering and sale of the Securities). The Issuers will advise the Initial Purchasers promptly of the receipt by either of the Issuers of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose that occurs during the period of one year after the Closing Date, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption during the period of one year after the Closing Date, each of the Issuers shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof.

(d)                                 During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Ferrellgas Parties will not, and will not permit any of their affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them.

(e)                                  Each of the Ferrellgas Parties, jointly and severally, will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, including (i) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its professional advisers; (ii) all expenses (not including fees and expenses of Initial Purchasers’ counsel) of the Issuers in connection with the execution, issue, authentication, packaging and initial delivery of the Securities and, as applicable, the

18

Exchange Securities, the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture, Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and amendments and supplements thereto, and any other document relating to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the Securities and as applicable, the Exchange Securities; (iii) the cost of any advertising approved in advance by the Issuers in connection with the issue of the Securities; (iv) any expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Initial Purchasers) incurred in connection with qualification of the Securities or the Exchange Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Merrill Lynch designates and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (v) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities or the Exchange Securities; and (vi) expenses incurred in distributing (including any form of electronic distribution) the preliminary offering memoranda, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (including any amendments and supplements thereto). Each of the Ferrellgas Parties, jointly and severally, will also pay or reimburse the Initial Purchasers (to the extent incurred by them) for all reasonable travel expenses of the Initial Purchasers and the officers and employees of the Ferrellgas Parties and any other expenses of the Initial Purchasers and the Ferrellgas Parties in connection with attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Securities from the Initial Purchasers, including net roadshows.

(f)                                   Each of the Issuers shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities sold by it in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package.

(g)                                  The Issuers will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers and use their commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary.

(h)                                 Prior to the completion of the placement of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, each of the Issuers shall file, on a timely basis, with the Commission and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) all reports and documents required to be filed under Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act. At any time when an Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the Securities, such Issuer shall furnish, at its expense, upon request, to holders and beneficial owners of Securities and prospective purchasers of Securities information satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(i)                                     In connection with the offering, until Merrill Lynch shall have notified the Issuers and the other Initial Purchasers of the completion of the resale of the Securities, none of the Ferrellgas Parties or any of their affiliates has or will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial interest any Securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Securities; none of the Ferrellgas Parties or any of their affiliates will make

19

bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of raising the price of, the Securities.

(j)                                    Except for the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, during the period beginning on the date hereof through and including the date that is 60 days after the date hereof, none of the Ferrellgas Parties will offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any United States dollar-denominated debt securities issued or guaranteed by any of the Ferrellgas Parties and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, in each case without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch.

(k)                                 None of the Ferrellgas Parties will at any time offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities under circumstances where such offer, sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or the safe harbor of Regulation S thereunder to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale of the Securities.

(l)                                     Each certificate for a Security will bear the legend contained in “Notice to Investors” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

(m)                             Except as stated in this Agreement and in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, the Ferrellgas Parties will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

Merrill Lynch, on behalf of the several Initial Purchasers, may, in its sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by an Issuer of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

SECTION 4.                            Conditions of the Obligations of the Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the several Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Securities as provided herein on the Closing Date shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Ferrellgas Parties herein on the date hereof and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of officers of the Ferrellgas Parties made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Ferrellgas Parties of their obligations hereunder, and to the following additional conditions:

(i)                                     there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (any such occurrence is called a “Material Adverse Change”), the effect of which, in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum; and

(ii)                                  there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any securities or indebtedness of any of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined in the Exchange Act.

On the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers shall have received from Grant Thornton LLP a “bring-down comfort letter” dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, in the form of the “comfort letter” delivered on the date of this Agreement, except that (i) it shall cover certain financial information in the Final Offering Memorandum and any amendment or

21

supplement thereto and (ii) procedures shall be brought down to a date no more than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date.

Merrill Lynch may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the Initial Purchasers compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder, whether in respect of the Closing Date or otherwise.

If any condition specified in this Section 4 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice to the Ferrellgas Parties at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Sections 3(e), 5, 7 and 8 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 5.                            Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 4 or 9 hereof, including if the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Ferrellgas Parties to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof (other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers), the Ferrellgas Parties agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers (or such Initial Purchasers as have terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves), severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.

SECTION 6.                            Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. Each of the Initial Purchasers, on the one hand, and each of the Ferrellgas Parties, on the other hand, hereby agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities:

(A)                               Offers and sales of the Securities will be made only by the Initial Purchasers or Affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each such offer or sale shall only be made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and

22

sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, which Annex I is hereby expressly made a part hereof.

(B)                               No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(C)                               Upon original issuance by the Issuers, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear the following legend:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS NOTE, NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES NOT TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE WHICH IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THIS NOTE (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THIS NOTE) (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”), EXCEPT THAT THE NOTES MAY BE TRANSFERRED (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE NOTES ENDORSED THEREON ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”), TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF THE NOTES AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL

23

AMOUNT OF NOTES LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUERS THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (F) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER (1) PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (D) PRIOR TO THE END OF THE 40-DAY DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE PERIOD WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (F) PRIOR TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND (2) IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THIS NOTE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF A HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.”

Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security.

SECTION 7.                            Indemnification.

(a)                                 Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Ferrellgas Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Ferrellgas Parties), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Merrill Lynch) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not

24

apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by the Initial Purchasers through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Ferrellgas Parties may otherwise have.

(b)                                 Indemnification of the Ferrellgas Parties. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Ferrellgas Parties, and each of their respective partners, directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the Ferrellgas Parties within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Ferrellgas Parties or any such partner, director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Issuers and each such partner, director, officer or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Issuers or such partner, director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Ferrellgas Parties hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Issuers expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Supplement, any Issuer Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the fourth and fifth sentences of the twelfth paragraph and in the fourteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c)                                  Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it

25

may have to any indemnified party under this Section 7 to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (Merrill Lynch in the case of Sections 7(b) and 8 hereof), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d)                                 Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 7, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified

26

party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 8.                            Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (after deducting discounts and commissions to the Initial Purchasers but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, and the total purchase discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 8; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 7 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

The Ferrellgas Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount and commission received by such Initial

27

Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 8, each affiliate, director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of either of the Issuers, and each person, if any, who controls either of the Issuers with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers.

SECTION 9.                            Termination of this Agreement.  Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to the Issuers if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE; (ii) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the NYSE or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities involving the United States or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; or (v) in the judgment of the Representative there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Ferrellgas Parties to any Initial Purchaser, except that in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (i) or (v) of this Section 9, the Ferrellgas Parties shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 3(e) and 5 hereof, (b) any Initial Purchaser to the Ferrellgas Parties, or (c) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 10.                     Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Ferrellgas Parties, their respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Ferrellgas Parties or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.                     Notices.  All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to the parties hereto as follows:

SECTION 12.                     Successors.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 15 hereof, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any Subsequent Purchaser of other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase.

SECTION 13.                     Partial Unenforceability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then to the extent practicable there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

29

SECTION 14.                     Governing Law Provisions and Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 15.                     Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers.  If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Issuers for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 3(e), 5, 7 and 8 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 15. Any action taken under this Section 15 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

30

SECTION 16.                     No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  Each of the Ferrellgas Parties acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Ferrellgas Parties, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Ferrellgas Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Ferrellgas Parties or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Ferrellgas Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Ferrellgas Parties on other matters) or any other obligation to the Ferrellgas Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Ferrellgas Parties and that the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Ferrellgas Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Ferrellgas Parties and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Ferrellgas Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Ferrellgas Parties may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

SECTION 17.                     General Provisions.

(a)                                 Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by Merrill Lynch shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

(b)                                 In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Ferrellgas Parties, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

(c)                                  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

31

(d)                                 For purposes of this Agreement (i) “business day” means any day on which the NYSE is open for trading and (ii) “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act.

(e)                                  This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit.

(f)                                   The section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

32

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to the Ferrellgas Parties the enclosed copies hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts hereof, shall become a binding agreement in accordance with its terms.
