Item 1.01 and 3.03 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On February 24, 2015, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (“Suburban”) and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (together with Suburban, the “Issuers”), in connection with their previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to their outstanding 7-3/8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture, by and among the Issuers and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplementing that certain Base Indenture, as supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of March 23, 2010, pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the “Indenture”).

The Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments to the Indenture which were the subject of the consent solicitation in connection with the Issuers’ tender offer for the Notes, which was launched on February 10, 2015. These amendments eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, shorten the minimum notice period for redemption of the Notes to three business days and eliminate or modify certain events of default and related provisions contained in the Indenture. The amendments will not, however, become operative until the Notes tendered in the tender offer are accepted for purchase by the Issuers pursuant to the terms thereof.

The description of the Supplemental Indenture in this Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
