RECITALS The UGI Corporation 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan") provides for the grant of stock units with respect to shares of common stock of UGI ("Shares"). The Board of Directors of UGI (the "Board") has decided to make a stock unit grant to the Participant. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Grant of Stock Units. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter, the Board hereby awards the Participant an award of 1,275 Stock Units (as defined below). The Stock Units are granted with Dividend Equivalents (as defined below). (b) UGI shall keep records in an Account (as defined below) to reflect the number of Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant. Fractional Stock Units shall accumulate in the Participant's Account and shall be added to other fractional Stock Units to create whole Stock Units. 2. Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Stock Units. (a) Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. From the Date of Grant until the Participant's Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Shares, UGI shall credit to the Participant's Account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent associated with the Stock Units credited to the Participant on the record date for the dividend. (b) Conversion to Stock Units. On the last day of each Plan Year (as defined below), the amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant's Account during that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Stock Units, based on the Unit Value (as defined below) on the last day of the Plan Year. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service (as defined below) prior to the last day of the Plan Year, as soon as practicable following such event, and in no event later than the date on which Stock Units are redeemed in accordance with Section 3, UGI shall convert the amount of Dividend Equivalents previously credited to the Participant's Account during the Plan Year to a number of Stock Units based on the Unit Value on the date of such Change of Control, death or Separation from Service. 3. Events Requiring Redemption of Stock Units. (a) Redemption. UGI shall redeem Stock Units credited to the Participant's Account at the times and in the manner prescribed by this Section 3. Except as described in subsection (d) below, redemptions shall be made by issuing to the Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of Stock Units being redeemed; provided, however, that any fractional Stock Units credited to a Participant's Account shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the Unit Value of such fractional Stock Unit at the redemption date. (b) Separation from Service or Death. In the event the Participant Separates from Service or dies, UGI shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant's Account as soon as practicable following the Participant's Separation from Service or death. In the event of death, the redemption amount shall be paid to the Participant's estate. (c) Elections. The Participant may elect to defer receipt of the redemption amount payable pursuant to subsection (b) upon Separation from Service, until the Participant attains a specific age, not to exceed the age of the Participant in January of the Plan Year following his or her attainment of age 72. In addition, the Participant may elect to receive such payment in (i) a single distribution or (ii) annual or quarterly installments over a period not to exceed 20 years. Both such elections must be made at least 13 months before the Participant's Separation from Service, or at such earlier date as UGI shall require. (d) Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control, UGI shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant's Account. Such redemption amount shall be paid in cash. The amount paid shall equal the product of the number of Stock Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit Value at the date of the Change of Control. The Participant may elect to defer receipt of such payment until he or she attains a specified age, not to exceed the age of the Participant in January of the Plan Year following his or her attainment of age 72. In addition, the Participant may elect to receive such payment in (i) a single distribution or (ii) annual or quarterly installments over a period not to exceed 20 years. Both such elections must be made at least 13 months before the Change of Control, or at such earlier date as UGI shall require. (e) Installments. Dividend Equivalents will be credited to the Participant's Account in accordance with Section 2 until the full amount of the Participant's Account has been distributed. Each installment payment shall be calculated by dividing the Participant's total Account balance as of such payment date by the number of payments remaining in the installment period. (f) Acceleration. The Board may at any time accelerate the redemption of outstanding Stock Units under such circumstances as the Board deems appropriate. 4. Definitions. For purposes of this Grant Letter, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below: 2 (a) "Account" means UGI's bookkeeping account established pursuant to Section 1, which reflects the number of Stock Units and the amount of Dividend Equivalents standing to the credit of the Participant.
