(a) Each of the Contributor Parties and Acquirer acknowledges that the amount of the Purchase Price has been based in part on the Propane Group Entities having Net Working Capital as of the Contribution Closing Date in an amount equal to $38,000,000 (the “Net Working Capital Target”) and Net Cash as of the Contribution Closing Date in an amount equal to $10,000,000 (the “Net Cash Target”). Contributor shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Acquirer for its review not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Contribution Closing, an estimated consolidated balance sheet for each of XXXX and Titan and each of their respective Subsidiaries as of the Contribution Closing Date, which consolidated balance sheets shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, except as set forth in Schedule 2.5(a) of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule, the historical accounting policies and practices of the Propane Group Entities; provided, however, that even if inconsistent with such accounting policies and practices or GAAP, such consolidated balance sheets shall not take into account the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that all accounts receivable, accounts payable and other Indebtedness between the Contributor Parties and their Affiliates (other than the Propane Group Entities), on the one hand, and the Propane Group Entities, on the other hand (“Intercompany Indebtedness”), shall be cancelled in connection with the Contribution Closing and such cancelled amounts shall be charged or credited to equity accounts, as the case may be, and shall not be taken into consideration in the calculation of Net Working Capital or Net Cash. The consolidated balance sheets prepared in accordance with the foregoing are referred to as the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets.” The Net Working Capital and Net Cash of each of XXXX and Titan and each of their respective Subsidiaries will be added together (or netted against one another, as the case may be) to calculate the combined Net Working Capital and Net Cash of the Propane Group Entities for purposes of this Section 2.5. Contributor shall also prepare, or cause to be prepared, a worksheet showing the difference, if any, between (i) the combined Net Working Capital of the Propane Group Entities as derived from the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and the Net Working Capital Target and (ii) the combined Net Cash of the Propane Group Entities as derived from the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets (the “Estimated Net Cash”) and the Net Cash Target.

(b) If the Net Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Estimated Contributor Working Capital Payment”), then (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) either (A) the Redemption Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, or (B) the Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it does not intend to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Contributor Working Capital Payment.

(c) If the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target (such excess, the “Estimated Acquirer Working Capital Payment”), then (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) either (A) the Redemption Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, or (B) the Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it does not intend to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Acquirer Working Capital Payment.

(d) If the Net Cash Target exceeds the Estimated Net Cash (such difference, the “Estimated Contributor Net Cash Payment”), then (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) either (A) the Redemption Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, or (B) the Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it does not intend to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Contributor Net Cash Payment.

(e) If the Estimated Net Cash exceeds the Net Cash Target (such excess, the “Estimated Acquirer Net Cash Payment”), then (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) either (A) the Redemption Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, or (B) the Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it does not intend to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Acquirer Net Cash Payment.

(f) For the purpose of confirming the Estimated Contributor Working Capital Payment or Estimated Acquirer Working Capital Payment, as the case may be, and the Estimated Contributor Net Cash Payment or Estimated Acquirer Net Cash Payment, as the case may be, Acquirer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, a consolidated balance sheet of each of XXXX and Titan and each of their respective Subsidiaries as of the Contribution Closing Date, which consolidated balance sheets will be prepared consistent with the accounting principles and exceptions set forth in Section 2.5(a) with respect to the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheets. The consolidated balance sheets prepared in accordance with the foregoing are referred to as the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheets.”

(g) No later than forty-five (45) days after the Contribution Closing Date, Acquirer shall deliver to Contributor the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets together with a worksheet showing the difference, if any, between (i) the combined Net Working Capital of the Propane Group Entities as derived from the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets (the “Final Net Working Capital”) and the Estimated Net Working Capital and (ii) the combined Net Cash of the Propane Group Entities as derived from the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets (the “Final Net Cash”) and the Estimated Net Cash. Following the delivery by Acquirer of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the worksheets showing the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash, Acquirer shall provide Contributor with reasonable access to the books and records and accounting personnel of the Propane Group Entities to review such calculations. Contributor shall have the right for thirty (30) days following the date of delivery to Contributor of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the worksheets showing the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and Final Net Cash to object to any portion of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and Final Net Cash (the disputed items being the “Disputed Items”), by delivering a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Acquirer within such thirty (30) day period, which Dispute Notice shall: (A) set forth Contributor’s proposed resolution of the Disputed Items, (B) specify in reasonable detail Contributor’s basis for disagreement with the Disputed Items and (C) include materials showing in reasonable detail Contributor’s support for such position. Any matters set forth in the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets that are not included as Disputed Items in a timely delivered Dispute Notice shall be deemed accepted by Contributor and shall be binding and final for all purposes of this Agreement, and (1) the failure by Contributor to provide a Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period or (2) the delivery by Contributor to Acquirer during such thirty (30) day period of a written notice stating that Contributor has elected not to deliver a Dispute Notice, will constitute a full and complete acceptance of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash, each as determined by Acquirer, and such Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and Final Net Cash shall be binding and final for all purposes of this Agreement. Acquirer and Contributor shall meet to resolve any differences in their respective positions with respect to the Disputed Items. If Acquirer and Contributor are unable to agree upon the Disputed Items within thirty (30) days after the delivery of a Dispute Notice by Contributor to Acquirer, then the Disputed Items (but no others) may be referred by Acquirer or Contributor for determination to KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) (or, if KPMG is unable or unwilling to serve or if Acquirer and Contributor otherwise agree, another nationally recognized accounting firm that has not had a material engagement with Acquirer, Contributor or the Propane Group Entities during the one (1) year prior to the date of the Dispute Notice, that is mutually selected by Acquirer and Contributor); provided, however, that KPMG shall be deemed to be not independent for purposes of this Section 2.5(g) if KPMG has had a material engagement with either Contributor or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, during the one (1) year period prior to the date of the Dispute Notice. If Contributor and Acquirer are unable to select a nationally recognized accounting firm within ten (10) Business Days of KPMG declining to accept such engagement or because KPMG is not independent as described in the prior sentence, either Acquirer or Contributor may thereafter request that the American Arbitration Association make such selection (as applicable, KPMG, the firm selected by Contributor and the Acquirer or the firm mutually selected by the American Arbitration Association is referred to herein as the “Independent Accountant”). Acquirer and Contributor shall provide the Independent Accountant and the other Party with a statement of its position as to the amount for each Disputed Item within fifteen (15) days from the date of the appointment of the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a written determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant, by selecting from the position of either Acquirer or Contributor as to each Disputed Item. The Independent Accountant shall be authorized to select only the position as to each Disputed Item as presented by either Acquirer or Contributor. If at any time Acquirer and Contributor resolve their dispute, then, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 2.5(g), the Independent Accountant’s involvement promptly shall be discontinued and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect such resolution and thereupon shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall make readily available to the Independent Accountant all relevant books and records relating to the Closing Date Balance Sheets, the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant in connection with resolving the Disputed Items. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Acquirer, on the one hand, and Contributor, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of Disputed Items so submitted to the Independent Accountant that are ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of Disputed Items so submitted. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and Final Net Cash shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect such decision and thereupon shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Following the final determination of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash in accordance with Section 2.5(f) and Section 2.5(g), if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Final Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Final Contributor Working Capital Payment”), Contributor shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheets and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Net Cash) wire transfer to Acquirer, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by Acquirer, cash in an amount equal to the Final Contributor Working Capital Payment.

To the extent practicable, such Party shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply, including the execution of a joint defense agreement to allow the parties to exchange information protected by the attorney client privilege or work product doctrine. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no party nor any of its Representatives or Affiliates shall be responsible or liable to another party for personal injuries sustained in connection with the access provided pursuant to this Section 5.3 and such party shall be indemnified and held harmless by the visiting party for any losses suffered by any such Persons in connection with any such personal injuries; provided, however, that such personal injuries are not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the hosting party. The Parties agree that they will not, and will cause their Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.3 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

Section 5.4 Governmental Approvals.

(a) The Parties will cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to obtain from any Governmental Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained and to make or cause to be made any filings with or notifications or submissions to any Governmental Authority that are necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and shall diligently and expeditiously prosecute, and shall cooperate fully with each other in the prosecution of, such matters. Each of the Parties agrees to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or other Person, to contest and resist, any Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of any Governmental Authority that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to submit any required filings of Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act within a reasonable period of time but in no event later than October 28, 2011, and to respond to any requests for additional information made by any Governmental Authority, to cause the waiting period under the HSR Act to expire or terminate.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, that the Parties become subject to, or consent or agree to any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order where the consummation or effectiveness of such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is not conditioned upon the Contribution Closing or would be binding on the AmeriGas Entities or Propane Group Entities in the event that the Contribution Closing does not occur.

(d) With regard to any Governmental Authority or any proceeding by a private party under any Regulatory Law regarding any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, neither the Contributor Parties nor any of their Affiliates, without Acquirer’s advance written consent, shall: (i) discuss or commit to any divestiture or consent decree; (ii) discuss or commit to alter their businesses or commercial practices in any way; or (iii) otherwise take or commit to take any action that would limit Acquirer’s freedom of action with respect to the Propane Group Entities or any assets or businesses of the Propane Group Entities or Acquirer after the Contribution Closing Date, Acquirer’s ability to retain any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein that are part of the Propane Group Entities or Acquirer’s ability to receive the full benefits of the Transaction Agreements.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Acquirer shall have the right to direct all discussions, matters, proceedings or negotiations (collectively, the “Negotiations”) with any Governmental Authority or other Person regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that it shall keep the Contributor Parties informed about the Negotiations, shall make reasonable efforts to consult with the Contributor Parties and shall afford the Contributor Parties a reasonable opportunity to participate in the Negotiations. The Contributor Parties agree to take such actions as are deemed prudent by Acquirer to meet the conditions to the Contribution Closing under any Regulatory Law.

Section 5.5 Expenses. Subject to Acquirer’s obligation to pay a portion of the CS Fee as described below, all costs and expenses incurred by the Contributor Parties or the Propane Group Entities in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, shall be paid by the Contributor Parties, and all costs and expenses incurred by Acquirer in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be paid by Acquirer. Acquirer shall reimburse ETP for one-half (1/2) of the CS Fee; provided, however, that Acquirer’s obligation with respect thereto shall not exceed $7,500,000.

Section 5.6 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain timely all authorizations, consents and approvals of all third parties (a) necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or (b) as are required to comply with the terms and conditions of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.6 of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule, in each case prior to the Contribution Closing. The Parties will coordinate and cooperate with each other in exchanging such information and assistance as any of the Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

Section 5.7 Public Statements. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to consult with each other prior to issuing any other public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and neither Contributor or its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Acquirer or its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall issue any such public announcement, statement or other disclosure without having first notified Contributor, on the one hand, or Acquirer, on the other hand; provided, however, that any of Contributor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of Acquirer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, may make any public disclosure without first so consulting with or notifying the other Party or Parties if such disclosing Party believes that it is required to do so by Law or by any stock exchange listing requirement or trading agreement concerning the publicly traded securities of Contributor or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

Section 5.8 Equity Consideration; Legends. ETP agrees to the recording, so long as the restrictions described in the legend are applicable, of the following legend on any book entry notation or certificate evidencing all or any portion of any AmeriGas Common Units constituting the Equity Consideration:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P., AS AMENDED. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGES FOR THE BENEFIT OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P. THAT THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD (A) VIOLATE THE THEN APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH TRANSFER, (B) TERMINATE THE EXISTENCE OR QUALIFICATION OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P. UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR (C) CAUSE AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P. TO BE TREATED AS AN ASSOCIATION TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE TO BE TAXED AS AN ENTITY FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES (TO THE EXTENT NOT ALREADY SO TREATED OR TAXED). AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC., THE GENERAL PARTNER OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P., MAY IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IF IT RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P. BECOMING TAXABLE AS A CORPORATION OR OTHERWISE BECOMING TAXABLE AS AN ENTITY FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.

Section 5.9 Confidential Information.

(a) Effective upon, and only upon, the Contribution Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Information. Acquirer acknowledges that any and all other information provided or made available to it by the Contributor Parties (or their Representatives) concerning the Contributor Parties or their Affiliates (other than the Propane Group Entities) will remain subject to the terms and conditions of such Confidentiality Agreement after the Contribution Closing. The Contributor Parties acknowledge that any and all information provided or made available to them by Acquirer (or its Representatives) concerning Acquirer or its Affiliates will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Contribution Closing.

(b) For a period of two (2) years after the Contribution Closing, the Contributor Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose to any Person any trade secret, confidential or proprietary business information, data or material developed by, or on behalf of, any Propane Group Entity relating to the business and operations of the Propane Group Entities, including the Propane Business (collectively, the “Information”), whether acquired prior to or after the Contribution Closing Date, which has not become generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.9).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Contributor Parties or any of their respective Affiliates are required by Law or applicable stock exchange rules to disclose any Information, such party shall (i) notify Acquirer as promptly as practicable of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, so that Acquirer may either waive such party’s compliance with the terms of this Section 5.9 or seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and (ii) if Acquirer seeks such a protective order, to provide such cooperation as Acquirer may reasonably request (at Acquirer’s sole expense). In the event that Acquirer waives compliance (in whole or in part) with the terms of this Section 5.9, or such protective order or other remedy is denied, as a result of which such Contributor Party or its Affiliate is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose such Information, the Contributor Party or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall furnish only that portion of the Information that its legal counsel advises is legally required, and the Contributor Party or its Affiliate shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of the Information. In no event shall a Contributor Party or its Affiliate oppose action by Acquirer to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of Information or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Information.

Section 5.10 No Hire. From the Execution Date until the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Contribution Closing Date, the Contributor Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (other than the Propane Group Entities) to not, solicit for employment or hire any executive officers, management level employees or district manager level employees of the Propane Group Entities, Acquirer or AmeriGas GP or any of their respective Subsidiaries. From the Contribution Closing Date until the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Contribution Closing Date, the Acquirer shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to not, solicit for employment or hire any executive officers, management level employees or district manager level employees of the Contributor Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Propane Group Entities) with whom Acquirer first came into initial contact as a result of the negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. The restrictions in this Section 5.10 regarding the prohibition on solicitations (as opposed to hires) shall not apply to (i) any solicitation by way of general advertising, including general solicitations in any local, regional or national newspapers or other publications or circulars or on internet sites or any search firm engagement which is not directed or focused on employees of the Contributor Parties, or Acquirer or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, or (ii) the hiring of a person whose employment was terminated by his or her respective employer (or its Affiliates) and who was not solicited by the other Party (or its Affiliates) in violation of this Section 5.10. The Parties each agree that the other Party may seek to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.10 by seeking to obtain injunctions, restraining orders and other equitable actions pursuant to Section 9.4.

Section 5.11 Non-Competition. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years after the Contribution Closing Date, the Contributor Parties shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in, or acquire an equity interest in, or provide debt financing to any Person who is engaged in, the Restricted Business in the United States (the “Restricted Territory”). Nothing in this Agreement or in the definition of Restricted Business shall prohibit or in any way restrict any ETP Entity from:

(i) acquiring or owning equity securities in Acquirer or otherwise entering into or exercising any rights of such ETP Entity pursuant to the ETP CRSA or acquiring or owning less than 5% of the outstanding voting power of any other publicly traded Person, including if such Person is a Restricted Business;

(ii) performing its obligations under the Transaction Agreements; or

(iii) acquiring the assets or capital stock or other equity interests of any Person which is engaged in the Restricted Business (“Acquired Company”) if, in its last full fiscal year prior to such acquisition, the consolidated revenues of such Acquired Company from the Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory was less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate consolidated revenues of such Acquired Company; provided, however, that if an ETP Entity acquires an Acquired Company with consolidated revenues from the Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory greater than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate consolidated revenues of such Acquired Company, such ETP entity shall (A) provide Acquirer the exclusive opportunity, for a period of forty-five (45) days following the closing of such acquisition, to negotiate the purchase of such portion of such business that is engaged in the Restricted Business and (B) if such ETP Entity and Acquirer do not enter into an agreement with respect to Acquirer’s purchase of such portion of such business within such forty-five (45)-day period, divest such portion of such business within nine (9) months of the acquisition.

(iv) owning or operating Propane Group Assets retained by an ETP Entity in connection with the exercise of the ETP Retention Option in accordance with Section 5.29(b); provided, however, that such ETP Entity agrees to divest such Propane Group Assets within two (2) years of the Contribution Closing Date (or such lesser time that may be required pursuant to an order by a Governmental Authority under any Regulatory Law).

(b) The Contributor Parties agree that the duration and geographic scope of the non-competition provision set forth in this Section 5.11 are reasonable. In the event that any court determines that the duration or geographic scope of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.11, or both, is unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, the Parties agree that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it unenforceable. The Parties intend that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America. Additionally, because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to Acquirer as a result of a breach of this Section 5.11, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to Acquirer for which it may not have any other adequate remedy, the Contributor Parties agree that Acquirer may seek to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.11 by seeking to obtain injunctions, restraining orders and other equitable actions pursuant to Section 9.4.

Section 5.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Post-Contribution Closing Tax Returns. Acquirer shall cause the Propane Group Entities to prepare all Tax Returns relating to the Propane Group Entities for periods beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date and ending after the Contribution Closing Date. With respect to any such Tax Returns, Acquirer shall determine (by an interim closing of the books as of the Contribution Closing Date except for ad valorem and property taxes owed or owing by the Propane Group Entities, which shall be prorated on a daily basis) the Taxes that would have been due with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return if such taxable period ended on and included the Contribution Closing Date (the “Pre-Contribution Closing Tax”).

(i) Not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date of any estimated Tax payment relating to any Pre-Contribution Closing Tax, Acquirer shall deliver to Contributor for its review a statement calculating the excess, if any, of the Pre-Contribution Closing Tax included in such payment over the amount set up as a liability for such Tax on the financial statements of the Propane Group Entities. Acquirer shall make or cause to be made such changes in such statement as Contributor may reasonably request, which changes shall be subject to Acquirer’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Thereafter, and not later than five (5) days prior to the due date of such estimated Tax payment, Contributor shall pay to Acquirer the amount of such excess.

(ii) Not later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date of any Tax Return covering a Pre-Contribution Closing Tax, Acquirer shall deliver to ETP for its review a copy of such Tax Return and a statement calculating the amount by which the Pre-Contribution Closing Tax reflected on such Tax Return is greater than or less than the amount set up as a liability for such Tax on the financial statements of the Propane Group Entities and the amount of any payments paid by Contributor to Acquirer with respect to estimated Tax payments of such Pre-Contribution Closing Tax pursuant to Section 5.12(a)(i), which amount of estimated Tax payments shall be treated as a credit against Pre-Contribution Closing Tax owed to Acquirer by the Contributor Parties. Acquirer shall make or cause to be made such changes in such Tax Returns or such statement as Contributor may reasonably request, which changes shall be subject to Acquirer’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Not later than five (5) days prior to the due date of such Tax Return, ETP shall pay to Acquirer (or Acquirer shall pay to ETP, if appropriate) the amount of such difference. Upon receipt thereof, Acquirer shall file or cause to be filed such Tax Return and shall pay all Taxes shown to be due thereon.

(b) Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties, resulting directly from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne 50% by Acquirer and 50% by Contributor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable local Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party will use reasonable best efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other Party at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns. Upon the filing of Tax Returns in connection with Transfer Taxes, the filing Party shall provide the other Party with evidence satisfactory to the other Party that such Transfer Taxes have been filed and paid. Any amounts owed by Contributor pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt of such evidence that such Transfer Taxes have been filed and paid.

(i) Acquirer and the Contributor Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes for taxable periods beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention until the later of (A) six (6) years from the Contribution Closing Date or (B) the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information in such Party’s possession that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on the basis of reasonable best efforts to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Prior to the destruction or discarding of any books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Propane Group Entities relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date, each Party shall give the other Party reasonable written notice and, if the other Party so requests, shall itself allow, or cause the Propane Group Entities to allow the other Party to take, possession of such books and records. In connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes for taxable periods beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date, Acquirer and Contributor shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits, or similar events. Except as provided below, Acquirer shall have sole control of the conduct of all such audit, litigation or other proceedings with respect to Taxes for periods beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date, including any settlement or compromise thereof; provided, however, Acquirer shall keep the Contributor Parties reasonably informed of the progress of any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and shall not effect any such settlement or compromise with respect to which any Contributor Party is liable without obtaining such Contributor Party’s prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any such audit, litigation or other proceedings with respect to Taxes for which the Contributor Parties may be required to indemnify Acquirer pursuant to Section 8.1(b), the Contributor Parties shall be entitled, at the expense of the Contributor Parties, to attend and participate in all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax claim and may control and assume the defense of such Tax claim in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b); provided, however, that the Contributor Parties shall not effect any settlement or compromise of such Tax claim if such settlement or compromise could adversely affect Acquirer without Acquirer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) Acquirer and Contributor Parties further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or for any taxable period beginning on or before the Contribution Closing Date.

(d) Tax Statements and Information.

(i) On or before the fifteenth (15^th) day of March of each year that the Contributor (or one of its Affiliates) is a partner in Acquirer, Acquirer shall cause Contributor (or its Affiliates and designees) to be furnished with all information reasonably necessary or appropriate to file such Person’s respective tax reports, including its Schedules K-1, apportionment schedules and a schedule of Acquirer’s book-tax differences for the immediately preceding tax year. In addition, Acquirer will provide Contributor (or its Affiliates) with good faith estimates of all such information on or before the fourth (4^th) day of February of each year.

(ii) From time to time, for any taxable period that the Contributor (or one of its Affiliates) is a partner in Acquirer, Acquirer shall furnish the Contributor with financial or tax information regarding the Acquirer that is reasonably requested by the Contributor (or its Affiliates and designees), including, (A) book and tax basis information for Acquirer’s assets sufficient to allow Contributor to satisfy its own obligations and make its own computations, allocations and adjustments under Sections 704(b), 704(c) and 754 of the Code, (B) reports of Acquirer’s gross income broken down by activity, and (C) access to service providers (including Acquirer’s accountants) of Acquirer.

Section 5.13 Books and Records; Financial Statements; Litigation Support.

(a) The Contributor Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to, as soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty-five (35) days after the Execution Date, provide to Acquirer the Titan Audited Financial Statements. The Contributor Parties have retained Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP in connection with the preparation of the Titan Audited Financial Statements, and the Contributor Parties shall provide Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP with all information in their possession or control, including access at all reasonable times to all books and records of the ETP Entities, and all cooperation and assistance (including participation by the boards of directors and similar governing bodies, their respective audit committees, management and employees of ETP and the Propane Group Entities in meetings and the execution of documents and instruments reasonably requested by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP in connection therewith) as may in any such case reasonably be required to enable (i) the Contributor Parties to prepare the Titan Audited Financial Statements; and (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP to audit the Titan Audited Financial Statements in accordance with the auditing standards of the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

(b) The Contributor Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to, as soon as practicable after the Execution Date and at least seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period, provide to Acquirer the financial statements and other financial data and financial information of the Propane Group Entities set forth on Schedule 5.13(b) of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule (the “Required Financial Information”).

(c) The Contributor Parties hereby consent to the inclusion or incorporation by reference of the Required Financial Information in any registration statement, offering memorandum, report or other filing of Acquirer or any of its Affiliates as to which Acquirer or any of its Affiliates reasonably determines that such financial statements are required to be included or incorporated by reference to satisfy any rule or regulation of the SEC or to satisfy relevant disclosure obligations under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Contributor Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its independent accountants to consent to the inclusion or incorporation by reference of its audit opinion with respect to any of the financial statements of the Propane Group Entities in any such registration statement, report or other filing of Acquirer or its Affiliates, and the Contributor Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause representation letters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to its independent accountants, to be executed and delivered to its independent accountants in connection with obtaining any such consent from its independent accountants.

(d) The Contributor Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Acquirer in connection with the preparation by Acquirer of any pro forma financial statements of Acquirer or any of its Affiliates that are derived in part from the financial statements of the Propane Group Entities that Acquirer or its Affiliates reasonably determines are required to be included or incorporated by reference in any registration statement, report or other filing of Acquirer or its Affiliates to satisfy any rule or regulation of the SEC or to satisfy relevant disclosure obligations under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(e) The Contributor Parties shall provide access to their respective books and records as may be reasonably necessary for Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective advisors or Representatives, to conduct customary due diligence with respect to the financial statements of the Contributor Parties in connection with any offering of securities by Acquirer or any of its Affiliates or to enable an accounting firm to prepare and deliver a customary comfort letter with respect to financial information relating to the Contributor Parties.

(f) In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any third-party Proceeding (other than any Proceedings in which Acquirer or any of its Affiliates and the Contributor Parties or any of their Affiliates are adverse parties) in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Contribution Closing Date involving the Propane Group Entities, each of the other Parties will cooperate with it and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably requested and necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.13(f) shall limit in any respect any rights a Party may have with respect to discovery or the production of documents or other information in connection with any such litigation.

Section 5.14 AmeriGas Finance Notes; Debt Financing.

(a) Acquirer shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and use reasonable best efforts to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to cause AmeriGas Finance to (i) obtain debt financing supported by Acquirer that is on terms and conditions no less favorable to AmeriGas Finance and Acquirer than those set forth on Annex G-1 or such other terms as may be acceptable to Acquirer and AmeriGas Finance, the net proceeds of which (A) are greater than or equal to the amount of Redemption Cash Consideration or the Cash Consideration, as applicable, (the “Debt Financing”), and (B) will be loaned by AmeriGas Finance to Acquirer in the Intercompany Financing and (ii)(A) negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing and the Intercompany Financing (the “Financing Agreements”) on terms and conditions contained therein, which terms and conditions shall not be in violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Acquirer contained herein, and delivering to the Contributor Parties a copy thereof as promptly as practicable (and no later than four (4) Business Days) after such execution (but in any event, prior to the Contribution Closing); (B) satisfy on a timely basis, or obtain a timely waiver of, all conditions in the Financing Agreements that are within the control of Acquirer or AmeriGas Finance; (C) comply with the obligations of Acquirer or AmeriGas Finance under the Financing Agreements; and (D) consummate the Debt Financing and the Intercompany Financing at or prior to the Contribution Closing. Acquirer’s obligations under this Section 5.14 shall include using reasonable best efforts to seek the Debt Financing from alternative financing sources in the event any financing sources that may be initially contacted by Acquirer and AmeriGas Finance are unable to provide the Debt Financing.

(b) Acquirer shall keep ETP informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Debt Financing and shall give ETP prompt notice of (i) any material adverse change with respect to such Debt Financing and (ii) any Negative Market Notice or Positive Market Notice received pursuant to Section 5.14(d).

(c) Without limiting Acquirer’s obligations set forth in this Section 5.14, prior to the Contribution Closing, each of Acquirer and the Contributor Parties shall cooperate, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its respective officers, employees, Representatives, auditors, and advisors, including legal and accounting advisors, to cooperate, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (provided, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of business of the Parties or their respective Affiliates), including (i) participation in meetings, drafting sessions, rating agency presentations, due diligence sessions, and “road show” and other customary marketing presentations; (ii) furnishing in writing any financing sources as promptly as practicable with pertinent information regarding the Propane Group Entities and the Propane Business as is reasonably requested in connection with the Debt Financing; (iii) assisting any financing sources in the preparation of (A) one or more customary offering documents and documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations; (iv) using reasonable best efforts to obtain surveys and title insurance reasonably requested by financing sources; (v) taking all reasonably required corporate actions, subject to the consummation of the Contribution Closing, to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to AmeriGas Finance; (vi) providing authorization letters to any financing sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and containing a customary representation to the arranger of any financing that the information contained in any offering document or information memorandum relating to the Propane Group Entities or the Propane Business does 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vii) cooperating reasonably with the financing sources’ due diligence of the Propane Group Entities and the Propane Business, to the extent customary and reasonable and to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Parties and their respective Affiliates. Any information provided by the Parties in connection with seeking the Debt Financing (which must be furnished in writing) shall be prepared in good faith and shall be free of any material misstatements or omissions.

(d) If, not later than the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Marketing Period would otherwise commence, the Lead Underwriter, after jointly consulting with Acquirer and ETP, advises Acquirer and ETP (orally or in writing) (a “Negative Market Notice”) that the Lead Underwriter believes it is more likely than not that the Debt Financing could not reasonably be consummated if the Marketing Period were to commence as of the date of such Negative Market Notice on terms at least as favorable to AmeriGas Finance as those set forth on Annex G-2 (a “Qualified Debt Financing”), then the Marketing Period shall not commence until the earlier of (i) a date not later than 90 days following the delivery of the Negative Market Notice or (ii) the date on which the Lead Underwriter advises Acquirer and ETP (orally or in writing) (a “Positive Market Notice”) that the Lead Underwriter believes it is more likely than not that a Qualified Debt Financing could reasonably be consummated if the Marketing Period were to commence on the date of such Positive Market Notice.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Acquirer hereby acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.17, the Contributor Parties, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining Acquirer, the Propane Group Entities or any of their respective Affiliates from any such breach or threatened breach.

All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the release or substitution of the Credit Support Instruments shall be borne by the Acquirer. To the extent Acquirer is unable to obtain release for any Credit Support Instrument prior to the Contribution Closing, Acquirer shall indemnify the ETP Entities for any and all Losses arising from or relating to the Credit Support Instruments.

Section 5.22 Filing of S-3; Other Actions.

(a) If ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off, as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt of such notice and the Titan Audited Financial Statements from the Contributor Parties, Acquirer shall prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-3 relating to the distribution of AmeriGas Common Units by ETP in the Spin-Off (including any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Form S-3”).

Acquirer shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state or provincial securities Laws in connection with the Spin-Off, and ETP shall furnish all information concerning ETP and the holders of ETP Common Units as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action; provided, however, that Acquirer shall not be required to qualify or register as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or registered or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-3 will be made by Acquirer without ETP’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and without providing ETP a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Acquirer or ETP, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Form S-3 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the AmeriGas Common Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S-3 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. If at any time prior to the Spin-Off any information relating to Acquirer or ETP, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Acquirer or ETP which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-3, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC.

Acquirer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their independent accountants to provide any consent necessary to the filing of the Form S-3 and to deliver a customary comfort letter to ETP with respect to financial information relating to the AmeriGas Entities contained in the Form S-3. Acquirer shall provide such customary representation letters as are necessary in connection therewith.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, effective as of the Contribution Closing Date, the Propane Group Entities shall take the required actions, if any, to ensure that the Propane Group Employees shall cease to participate in all Propane Group Benefit Plans sponsored by ETP or ETP GP. From and after the Contribution Closing Date, each Propane Group Employee shall be eligible to participate in the AmeriGas Benefit Plans on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated employees of AmeriGas GP and its Affiliates. The Propane Group Employees shall receive credit for service with the Propane Group Entities and their Affiliates prior to the Contribution Closing Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals under all AmeriGas Benefit Plans made available to the Propane Group Employees to the same extent such credit would be recognized under any comparable AmeriGas Benefit Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of benefits or the funding thereof.

As soon as practicable after, but no later than ten (10) days following, the Contribution Closing Date, ETP shall, or shall cause its third-party benefits administrator to, provide Acquirer a schedule in writing detailing each Propane Group Employee’s copayments, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums paid as of the Contribution Closing Date. In addition, Acquirer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the AmeriGas Welfare Benefit Plans to waive all preexisting condition limitations with respect to the Propane Group Employees and their eligible dependents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Propane Group Entities shall remain responsible for any incurred claims (whether or not reported) that arose prior to the Contribution Closing Date with respect to any Propane Group Employee on or prior to the Contribution Closing Date.

(e) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, Acquirer shall assume and honor, or shall cause its relevant Affiliates to assume and honor, all liabilities for all earned or accrued but unused vacation benefits of the Propane Group Employees with the Propane Group Entities as of the Contribution Closing Date. During the balance of the calendar year 2011 following the Contribution Closing Date, if any, and each year thereafter, the Propane Group Employees shall be eligible for vacation benefits under the terms of the vacation benefit policies of Acquirer applicable to similarly situated employees of Acquirer, in each case after giving credit for each Propane Group Employee’s service with ETP in accordance with Section 5.24(b).

Acquirer’s health care flexible spending account plan shall provide for reimbursement of medical care expenses incurred by the Propane Group Employees at any time during ETP’s plan year, including claims incurred prior to the Contribution Closing Date, up to the amount of the Propane Group Employees’ election and reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by ETP. As soon as reasonably practicable after, but no later than ten (10) Business Days following, the Contribution Closing Date, ETP shall provide Acquirer a schedule in writing with each Propane Group Employee’s health care flexible spending account election for the plan year that includes the Contribution Closing Date and the amount of each Propane Group Employee’s periodic salary reductions and expense reimbursements, if any, as of the Contribution Closing Date.

(h) Effective as of the Contribution Closing Date, Acquirer shall assume all responsibilities and obligations for continuation coverage under COBRA (“COBRA Obligations”) and any state continuation coverage requirements with respect to the Propane Group Employees and their qualified beneficiaries; provided, however, that ETP agrees that it shall retain responsibility for COBRA Obligations to all Propane Group Employees and qualified beneficiaries of the Propane Group Employees for whom a “qualifying event” under COBRA occurs on or prior to the Contribution Closing Date.

(i) ETP shall or shall cause the Propane Group Entities to pay out to the Propane Group Employees any distribution payment obligations pursuant to any outstanding awards under the ETP LTIP on the date such distributions are due and payable for periods prior to the Contribution Closing Date that are due and payable (and have not been previously paid) as of the Contribution Closing Date.

(j) ETP shall be responsible for and discharge, and shall cause its relevant Affiliates to be responsible for and discharge, any severance liabilities (other than any severance liabilities under any AmeriGas Benefit Plan or Acquirer severance program) in respect of any Propane Group Employees arising as a result of any action, omission, failure to act or other matter or thing that occurred or occurs on or prior to the Contribution Closing Date as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From and after the Contribution Closing Date, each full-time (as determined by applying ETP’s standards for such a determination), non-seasonal Propane Group Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Acquirer severance programs maintained for similarly situated employees of AmeriGas GP and its Affiliates, which such programs shall (i) be amended, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Contributor Parties, to provide enhanced benefits to the full-time (as determined by applying ETP’s standards for such a determination), non-seasonal Propane Group Employees and (ii) recognize credit for each full-time (as determined by applying ETP’s standards for such a determination), non-seasonal Propane Group Employee’s service with the Propane Group Entities, ETP and their respective Affiliates; provided, however, for the period of two (2) years following the Contribution Closing Date, any full-time (as determined by applying ETP’s standards for such a determination), non-seasonal Propane Group Employee severed as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the integration plan shall be eligible under the Acquirer severance programs to receive a minimum amount of cash severance equivalent to not less than eight (8) weeks’ compensation for hourly employees and twelve (12) weeks’ compensation for salaried employees.

(l) Nothing herein express or implied by this Agreement shall (i) confer upon any Propane Group Employee, dependent or beneficiary, or legal representative thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or benefits for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement, or (ii) be deemed to amend or restrict any authority to amend any employee benefit plan of ETP, the Propane Group Entities, AmeriGas GP or any of their respective Affiliates. From and after the Contribution Closing Date, Acquirer shall comply, and cause the Propane Group Entities and AmeriGas GP to comply with the terms of the collective bargaining agreements set forth on Schedule 3.19(k) of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule such that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.24, no action shall be taken with respect to a Propane Group Employee who is subject to a collective bargaining agreement if such action is inconsistent with the applicable collective bargaining agreement or applicable Law.

Section 5.29 Further Assurances.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in order to resolve any impediments under any Regulatory Laws as necessary to permit the Contribution Closing by the End Date as it may be extended, none of the AmeriGas Entities shall be required to accept, propose or agree to any requirement to divest or hold separate or in trust (or the imposition of any other condition or restriction with respect to) (the “Divestiture”) (i) any assets, businesses, product lines or operations of the Propane Group Entities if or to the extent that the revenue attributable to any such assets, businesses, product lines or operations in the aggregate was greater than $85,000,000 (the “Divestiture Cap”) for the twelve (12) months ended June 30, 2011 or (ii) any assets, businesses, product lines or operations of the AmeriGas Entities.

(b) In the event that any Governmental Authority requires the Divestiture of any assets, business, product lines or operations (the “Propane Operations”) with attributable revenue in the aggregate greater than the Divestiture Cap, but not exceeding the Divestiture Cap by more than $30 million of aggregate attributable revenue, the ETP Entities shall have the option, if Acquirer otherwise declines to make a Divestiture above the Divestiture Cap, and subject to any necessary Governmental Authority approval or consent, to retain a portion of the assets of the Propane Group Entities (the “Propane Group Assets”), as mutually selected by ETP and Acquirer (the “Retained Propane Group Assets”), which ETP and Acquirer reasonably determine is the smallest portion of Propane Group Assets which is both (i) sufficient to bring the attributable aggregate revenue of those Propane Operations subject to the Divestiture below or equal to the Divestiture Cap and (ii) reasonably suited to be operated by ETP as a stand-alone business (the “ETP Retention Option”). If ETP chooses to exercise the ETP Retention Option: (x) ETP shall give Acquirer written notice of its intention to exercise the ETP Retention Option within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from Acquirer of its decision that it will satisfy its obligations under Section 5.4 by divesting a portion of the Propane Operations in accordance with a Divestiture; (y) the value of the proposed Retained Propane Group Assets shall be calculated using the methodology set forth on Schedule 5.29(b) of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule; and (z) subject to any Regulatory Law and mutual agreement by ETP and Acquirer as to the composition of the Retained Propane Group Assets, the Retained Propane Group Assets shall be excluded from the assets to be transferred at the Contribution Closing. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any retention of the Retained Propane Group Assets by ETP and any other Divestiture imposed on Acquirer in a manner which is tax efficient for each of the Parties.

(c) In the event that ETP elects to exercise the ETP Retention Option, then both the Purchase Price and (i) the Redemption Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it intends to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, or (ii) the Cash Consideration, if ETP delivers a written notice in accordance with Section 2.6 indicating that it does not intend to consummate the Spin-Off immediately following the Contribution Closing, shall be decreased by an amount equal to the value of the Propane Group Assets to be retained by ETP calculated in accordance with Section 5.29(b).

(d) Acquirer shall consult with the Contributor Parties as to the scope of any Divestiture, including the composition of the Propane Group Assets, or undertakings to be taken, or the conduct to be restricted, in order to meet any obligations of Section 5.4 related to any Regulatory Law; provided, however, Acquirer shall have sole discretion in determining the scope of undertakings to be taken, or the conduct to be restricted, in order to meet any obligations of Section 5.4 related to any Regulatory Law. Further, with regard to any obligations under Section 5.4 related to any Regulatory Law, Acquirer shall have the right to take (or decline to take) any and all steps or actions to avoid or to minimize the extent or effect of any Divestiture, restriction, condition or other relief that may be sought in relation to the contemplated transactions, and the Parties shall fully cooperate with and fully assist each other with regard to the foregoing. Nothing in Section 5.4 shall limit or restrict the option or right of the Parties to defend through litigation any claim that serves to or threatens to restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and assist in any such litigation; provided, however, that any such action shall not extend the End Date beyond the last extension of the End Date provided in Section 7.1(c) without the written consent of all Parties.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except for the provisions of this Section 7.2, Article IX, Article X and Section 5.5 and Section 5.7; provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any Party from any liability for any willful and intentional breach of this Agreement by such Party or for Fraud by such Party and all rights and remedies of a non-breaching Party under this Agreement in the case of any such willful and intentional breach or Fraud, at law and in equity, shall be preserved, including the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 7.1, the Parties agree that for a period of one (1) year from and after the Execution Date, neither the Contributor Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Acquirer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall solicit for employment or hire any executive officers, management level employees or district manager level employees of the Propane Group Entities, in the case of Acquirer and its Affiliates, and of Acquirer, AmeriGas GP and their respective Subsidiaries, in the case of the Contributor Parties and their respective Affiliates, (a) who were employed by such party within six (6) months prior to the Execution Date and (b) with whom the Contributor Parties or Acquirer, as applicable, first came into initial contact as a result of negotiation of this Agreement. The restrictions in the preceding sentence regarding the prohibition on solicitations (as opposed to hires) shall not apply to (i) any solicitation by way of general advertising, including general solicitations in any local, regional or national newspapers or other publications or circulars or on internet sites or any search firm engagement which is not directed or focused on employees of the Contributor Parties, Acquirer, AmeriGas GP or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, or (ii) the hiring of a person whose employment was terminated by his or her respective employer (or its Subsidiaries) and who was not solicited by the other Party (or its Affiliates) in violation of this Section 7.2. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, the Parties agree that, if this Agreement is terminated, the Parties shall have no liability to each other under or relating to this Agreement. If this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, each Party shall return all documents and other materials received from the other Parties relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all confidential information received by each Party with respect to any other Party shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(f), then Acquirer shall, pay or cause to be paid to ETP a termination fee in immediately available funds in the amount of (i) $125,000,000, if the Available Interest Rate was (or was otherwise deemed to be) within the range of Weighted Average Interests Rates set forth on Annex G-3 or (ii) $75,000,000, if the Available Interest Rate was within the range of Weighted Average Interests Rates set forth on Annex G-1 or Annex G-2 (any such termination fee hereinafter referred to as a “Termination Fee”), each in accordance with Section 10.5. Acquirer shall not be required to pay a termination fee to ETP in any circumstances other than as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Acquirer and the Contributor Parties acknowledge and agree that Acquirer’s payment of the Termination Fee will be considered liquidated damages and in the event of such payment, Acquirer shall have no other liability for any breach by it of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. If the Termination Fee is paid, or if the Termination Fee is payable and the Acquirer has not failed to satisfy its obligations under Section 10.5, in no event will the Contributor Parties seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy (including specific performance under Section 9.4) from Acquirer (or its respective Affiliates) pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Acquirer’s failure to secure the Debt Financing, regardless of whether such monetary damages or other remedies are based on a claim in law or equity, and all such claims are hereby waived.

(c) The Acquirer and the Contributor Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither Acquirer or the Contributor Parties would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Acquirer fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 7.2(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Contributor Parties commence a suit that results in a judgment in their favor for the Termination Fee, the Acquirer shall pay to the Contributor Parties their costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at eight percent (8%) per annum.

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV; and

(b) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Acquirer set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Survival; Claims Period.

(i) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties under this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until fifteen (15) months after the Contribution Closing Date; provided, however, that (A) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization; Qualification), Section 3.2 (Subsidiaries), Section 3.3 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 3.6 (Capitalization), Section 3.7 (Ownership of Acquired Interests), Section 3.20 (Brokers’ Fee), Section 4.1 (Organization; Qualification), Section 4.2 (Authority; Enforceability; Valid Issuance), Section 4.5 (Capitalization) and Section 4.12 (Brokers’ Fee) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive indefinitely, (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.18 and Section 4.11 and the indemnification set forth in Section 8.1(b) shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (C) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 and Section 4.9 shall survive for three (3) years after the Contribution Closing Date, and (D) any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed after the Contribution Closing Date shall survive until fully discharged. The date on which any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement no longer survives in accordance with this Section 8.3(a)(i) is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”.

(ii) No action for a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall be brought after the Expiration Date, except for claims of which a Party has received a Claim Notice setting forth in reasonable detail the claimed misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with reasonable detail, prior to the Expiration Date.

(b) Materiality. In determining whether a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made hereunder exists and in calculating the amount of indemnifiable Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to any such breach or inaccuracy, all qualifications relating to “materiality,” “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” (other than in Section 3.10(b), Section 4.8 and Section 5.1(b)(xxvi)(C)) or any similar qualification, shall be disregarded.

(i) (A) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.2(a) (as the case may be) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party exceeds an amount equal to $30,000,000 (the “Basket”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for those Losses in excess the Basket and (B) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.2(a) (as the case may be) shall be an amount equal to $280,000,000; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 8.3(c) shall not apply to Losses arising out of the breach of any of the Fundamental Representations.

(ii) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to any of the items set forth on Schedule 8.1(c) of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses exceeds an amount equal to $2,600,000 (the “Environmental Sub-Basket”). Any Losses included in the Environmental Sub-Basket shall also be applied to, and included in, the Basket.

(d) Minimum Claim. If any claim or group of related claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party that is indemnifiable under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.2(a) results in respective aggregate Losses to such Indemnified Party that do not exceed $500,000, such Losses shall not be deemed to be Losses under this Agreement, shall not be eligible for indemnification under this Article VIII and shall not be included in the calculations of limitation of Losses set forth in Section 8.3(c); provided, however, that no minimum claim amount shall apply with respect to (i) Losses arising out of the breach of any of the Fundamental Representations or (ii) Losses relating to any breaches of the representations and warranties included in Section 3.18 and Section 4.11.

(e) Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to any Contributor Indemnitee or Acquirer Indemnitee (each such person, an “Indemnified Party”) for a claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses, net of any associated costs of expenses of recovery, and (ii) any prior actual recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses. To the extent any amount that would be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 has been taken into account in determining (i.e., actually used in the computation of) Net Working Capital or Net Cash, such as liabilities, expenses, reserves and other asset contra-accounts, such amount shall not otherwise be recoverable as a Loss as that would constitute an unintended “double-recovery.”

(f) Waiver of Certain Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Party be liable for punitive, remote, speculative or lost profits damages of any kind or nature, regardless of the form of action through which such damages are sought, except for any such damages recovered by any third party against an Indemnified Party in respect of which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms hereof.

(g) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except for the assertion of any Claim based on Fraud or breaches of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed after the Contribution Closing Date, including Section 5.10 or Section 5.11, the remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive legal remedies of the Parties, from and after the Contribution Closing, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Each Indemnitee agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnitee must assert its claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) allegedly required to provide indemnification protection under this Article VIII specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement alleged to have been breached) and the amount (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Claim is known or reasonably ascertainable at such time; provided, however, that such amount or estimated amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Claim). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee’s failure to send or delay in sending a third party Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay and except as is otherwise provided herein, including in Section 8.3(f).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee hereunder against any Losses that may result from a third party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnitee so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume such defense if the third party Claim is seeking injunctive relief. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such third party Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Claim Notice, notify the Indemnitee in writing of its intent to do so. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remediation action with respect to any such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own separate counsel, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnitee has available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of the defenses or counterclaims alleged by the Indemnifying Party and which could be materially adverse to the Indemnifying Party, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such third-party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnitee may assume control of such defense and in the event it is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article IX that the Claim was a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 10.5 Certain Tax Matters. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, Acquirer shall not pay to ETP all or any portion of the Termination Fee unless such payment is consistent with this Section 10.5. If Acquirer is obligated to pay a Termination Fee to ETP pursuant to Section 7.2(b), then Acquirer shall pay to ETP an amount up to the Termination Fee calculated as follows and shall have no further liability with regard to the Termination Fee:

(a) Prior to the end of the calendar year in which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(f) and within five (5) Business Days from the date on which ETP provides Acquirer with a notice setting forth the estimated maximum remaining amount which may still be taken into the gross income of ETP without exceeding the permissible non-qualifying income limits for a publicly traded partnership for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code, after taking into consideration all other sources of non-qualifying income (such estimated maximum remaining amount of non-qualifying income, the “Estimated Non-Qualifying Income Cushion”), Acquirer shall pay to ETP the lesser of (i) the Termination Fee and (ii) a portion of the Termination Fee equal to an amount no greater than 70% of the Estimated Non-Qualifying Income Cushion (the “Preliminary Amount”).

(b) During the calendar year following the date that the Preliminary Amount was paid to ETP but prior to the passage of thirty (30) Business Days following the filing of the IRS Form 1065 for the prior year, ETP shall submit to Acquirer a certificate (the “Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion Certificate”) identifying the actual maximum remaining amount which may still be taken into the gross income of ETP without exceeding the permissible non-qualifying income limits for a publicly traded partnership (for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code), after taking into consideration all other sources of non-qualifying income from the prior year other than the Preliminary Amount (the “Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion”). If the Preliminary Amount was (i) less than 90% of the Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion, then Acquirer shall pay to ETP an amount which, when combined with the Preliminary Amount, will equal 90% of the Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion, and (ii) greater than 90% of the Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion, then ETP shall return to Acquirer an amount equal to the excess of the Preliminary Amount over 90% of the Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion. Any payment under this clause (b) shall be made by ETP or Acquirer, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by ETP or Acquirer, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Final Non-Qualifying Income Cushion Certificate.

Section 10.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of any Party or any of their Affiliates. No such third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any liability (or otherwise) against any other Party.

Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. Except for the Confidentiality Agreement which shall survive the execution of this Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties or between any of them with respect to such subject matter.

Section 10.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

Section 10.9 Representation by Counsel. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and that it has executed the same upon the advice of such independent counsel. Each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto shall be deemed the work product of the Parties and may not be construed against any Party by reason of its preparation. Therefore, the Parties waive the application of any Law providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 10.10 Disclosure Schedules. The inclusion of any information (including dollar amounts) in any section of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule or the Acquirer Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by a Party that such information is required to be listed on such section of the Contributor Disclosure Schedule or the Acquirer Disclosure Schedule or is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of such Party or the Person to which such disclosure relates. The information contained in this Agreement, the Exhibits and the Schedules is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained in this Agreement, the Exhibits or the Schedules shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third Person of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of a legal requirement or breach of contract).

Section 10.11 Facsimiles; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures by any Party and such signature shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof, without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
