SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF
THIS SECURITY WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE DATE, IF THE PROPOSED
TRANSFEREE IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE OR THE ISSUERS SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, IF LESS THAN
$100,000, AND LEGAL OPINIONS AS ANY OF THEM MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM
THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S.
PERSON" HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER
ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

     Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

          (1) INTEREST. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited
     partnership ("Suburban Propane") and Suburban Energy Finance Corp., a
     Delaware corporation ("Finance Corp." and, together with Suburban Propane,
     the "Issuers"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this
     Note at 6.875% per annum from December 23, 2003 until maturity and shall
     pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the
     Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers will pay
     interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on
     December 15 and June 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business
     Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "Interest Payment
     Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
     which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
     date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the
     payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
     date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
     Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
     Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall
     be June 15, 2004. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition
     interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal
     and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per
     annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it will pay interest (including
     post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
     overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without
     regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at a
     rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the
     extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
     twelve 30-day months.

          (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes
     (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons
     who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
     December 1 or June 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
     Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest
     Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with
     respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal,
     premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or
     agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the
     City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of
     interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the
     Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided
     that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be
     required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated
     Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of
     which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the
     Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United


                                       3


     States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
     public and private debts.

          (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York, the
     Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
     Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any
     Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such
     capacity.

          (4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
     as of December 23, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Issuers and the
     Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
     those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA (15 U.S. Code
     ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders
     are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.
     To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
     provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern
     and be controlling.

          (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

     (a) At any time prior to December 15, 2006, the Issuers may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided that:

          (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally
     issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by Suburban Propane and
     its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
     such redemption; and

          (ii) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the
     closing of such Equity Offering.

     (b) On or after December 15, 2008, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of
the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on December 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on
the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment
date:

        Year                                                Percentage
        ----                                                ----------

        2008.........................................       103.4375%
        2009.........................................       102.2917%
        2010.........................................       101.1458%
        2011 and thereafter..........................       100.0000%

          (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION; SPECIAL REDEMPTION.

     The Issuers will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with
respect to the Notes.

          (7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.



                                       4


     (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Issuers will be required to make
an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase,
subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date (the "Change of Control Payment").
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice
to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control
Offer as required by the Indenture.

     (b) If Suburban Propane or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates
any Asset Sales, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0
million, the Issuers will commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all
holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to
purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer")
pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price
in any Asset Sale Offer will be payable in cash and equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages
thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes
(including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers
(or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not
otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds
the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that
are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from
the Issuers prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
attached to the Notes.

          (8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
     30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
     whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
     redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption
     date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes
     or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations
     larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
     $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
     after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
     thereof called for redemption.

          (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered
     form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
     $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged
     as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
     Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
     transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes
     and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need
     not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
     selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note
     being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the
     transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes
     to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the
     corresponding Interest Payment Date.



                                       5


          (10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
     treated as its owner for all purposes.

          (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
     the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent
     of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
     outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class,
     and any existing Default or Event of Default compliance with any provision
     of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders
     of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
     Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of
     any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
     supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
     uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
     provide for the assumption of the Issuers' obligations to Holders of the
     Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would
     provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or
     that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
     such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to
     effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to
     conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the
     "Description of Notes" section of the Issuers' Offering Memorandum dated
     December 18, 2003, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the
     extent that such provision in that "Description of Notes" was intended to
     be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Notes; to
     provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the
     limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to
     execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Subsidiary
     Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

          (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for
     30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages on the
     Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any,
     on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon
     redemption (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or
     otherwise, (iii) failure by the Issuers for 45 days after notice to the
     Issuers by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
     of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with
     certain other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (iv) default under
     certain other agreements relating to certain Indebtedness of the Issuers
     which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
     express maturity; (v) certain final judgments for the payment of money that
     remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (vi) certain events of
     bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers or any Significant
     Subsidiary of Suburban Propane. If any Event of Default occurs and is
     continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
     of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
     payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
     arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding
     Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders
     may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
     Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
     principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in
     its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders
     of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
     Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or
     interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
     outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of
     the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
     consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
     Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The
     Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement
     regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required upon
     becoming aware of any Default



                                       6


     or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such
     Default or Event of Default.

          (13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUERS. The Trustee, in its individual or
     any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
     services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
     the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

          (14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future limited
     partner, officer, employee, incorporator, unitholder, stockholder or
     Affiliate of the Issuers, as such, will have any liability for any
     obligations of the Issuers under this Note, the Indenture or for any claim
     based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
     creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
     such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
     issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
     under the federal securities laws.

          (15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated
     by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          (16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of
     a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
     tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
     survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
     (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

          (17) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND
     RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders
     of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
     Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the
     Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 23, 2003, among the
     Issuers and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in
     the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
     Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set forth in one or more
     registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers and the other
     parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issues to the purchasers
     of any Additional Notes (collectively, the "Registration Rights
     Agreement").

          (18) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
     Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have
     caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use
     CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
     representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed
     on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may
     be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

     The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS,

MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE
TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM
BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION
REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN
VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

     Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

          (1) INTEREST. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited
     partnership ("Suburban Propane") and Suburban Energy Finance Corp., a
     Delaware corporation ("Finance Corp." and, together with Suburban Propane,
     the "Issuers"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this
     Note at 6.875% per annum from December 23, 2003 until maturity and shall
     pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the
     Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers will pay
     interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on
     December 15 and June 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business
     Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "Interest Payment
     Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
     which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
     date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the
     payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
     date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
     Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
     Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall
     be June 15, 2004. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition
     interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal
     and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per
     annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it will pay interest (including
     post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
     overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without
     regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at a
     rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the
     extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
     twelve 30-day months.

          (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes
     (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons
     who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
     December 1 or June 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
     Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest
     Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with
     respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal,
     premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or
     agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the
     City and State



                                       3


     of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and
     Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
     their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment
     by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with
     respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
     any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will
     have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying
     Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States
     of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
     and private debts.

          (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York, the
     Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
     Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any
     Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such
     capacity.

          (4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
     as of December 23, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Issuers and the
     Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
     those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA (15 U.S. Code
     ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders
     are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.
     To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
     provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern
     and be controlling.

          (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

     (a) At any time prior to December 15, 2006, the Issuers may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided that:

          (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally
     issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by Suburban Propane and
     its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
     such redemption; and

          (ii) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the
     closing of such Equity Offering.

     (b) On or after December 15, 2008, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of
the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on December 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on
the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment
date:

        Year                                                  Percentage
        ----                                                  ----------

        2008............................................       103.4375%
        2009............................................       102.2917%
        2010............................................       101.1458%
        2011 and thereafter.............................       100.0000%

          (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION; SPECIAL REDEMPTION.



                                       4


     The Issuers will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with
respect to the Notes.

          (7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

               (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Issuers will be required
          to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or
          any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each
          Holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate
          principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
          Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, subject
          to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
          interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the "Change of
          Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the
          Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures
          governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

               (b) If Suburban Propane or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
          consummates any Asset Sales, when the aggregate amount of Excess
          Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Issuers will commence an offer to
          all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is
          pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set
          forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
          with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant
          to Section 3.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
          amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
          Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The
          offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be payable in cash and equal
          to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
          interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of
          purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
          Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including
          any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered
          pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the
          Issuers (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for
          any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the
          aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
          surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds,
          the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
          to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the
          subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from
          the Issuers prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have
          such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder
          to Elect Purchase" attached to the Notes.

          (8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
     30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
     whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
     redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption
     date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes
     or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations
     larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
     $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
     after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
     thereof called for redemption.

          (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered
     form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
     $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged
     as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
     Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
     transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes
     and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need
     not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
     selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note


                                       5


     being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the
     transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes
     to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the
     corresponding Interest Payment Date.

          (10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
     treated as its owner for all purposes.

          (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
     the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent
     of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
     outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class,
     and any existing Default or Event of Default compliance with any provision
     of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders
     of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
     Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of
     any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
     supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
     uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
     provide for the assumption of the Issuers' obligations to Holders of the
     Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would
     provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or
     that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
     such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to
     effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to
     conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the
     "Description of Notes" section of the Issuers' Offering Memorandum dated
     December 18, 2003, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the
     extent that such provision in that "Description of Notes" was intended to
     be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Notes; to
     provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the
     limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to
     execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Subsidiary
     Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

          (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for
     30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages on the
     Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any,
     on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon
     redemption (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or
     otherwise, (iii) failure by the Issuers for 45 days after notice to the
     Issuers by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
     of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with
     certain other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (iv) default under
     certain other agreements relating to certain Indebtedness of the Issuers
     which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
     express maturity; (v) certain final judgments for the payment of money that
     remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (vi) certain events of
     bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers or any Significant
     Subsidiary of Suburban Propane. If any Event of Default occurs and is
     continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
     of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
     payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
     arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding
     Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders
     may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
     Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
     principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in
     its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders
     of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
     Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or
     interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
     outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of
     the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
     consequences under the Indenture



                                       6


     except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest
     on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to
     the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture,
     and the Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of
     Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or
     Event of Default.

          (13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUERS. The Trustee, in its individual or
     any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
     services for the Issuers or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
     the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

          (14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future limited
     partner, officer, employee, incorporator, unitholder, stockholder or
     Affiliate of the Issuers, as such, will have any liability for any
     obligations of the Issuers under this Note, the Indenture or for any claim
     based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
     creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
     such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
     issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
     under the federal securities laws.

          (15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated
     by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          (16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of
     a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
     tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
     survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
     (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

          (17) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND
     RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders
     of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
     Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the
     Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 23, 2003, among the
     Issuers and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in
     the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
     Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set forth in one or more
     registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers and the other
     parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issues to the purchasers
     of any Additional Notes (collectively, the "Registration Rights
     Agreement").

          (18) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
     Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have
     caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use
     CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
     representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed
     on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may
     be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

     The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.
