Terms and Conditions
The following Terms and Conditions shall be used for purposes of administering Performance Units

Rules under the Exchange Act.

AmeriGas or UGI, that is applicable to the Participant.
(l) UGI means UGI Corporation.
2. Performance Units
(a) Grant of Performance Units. The Committee shall select the Employees who shall receive
Performance Units and shall determine the number of Common Units subject to Performance Units and
the terms of the Performance Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Distribution
Equivalents shall be granted with respect to Performance Units. The Committee shall specify in the
Grant Letter for Performance Units the terms and conditions of the Performance Units and the
applicable restrictions and performance goals, including the objective goals, employment
requirements, period during which the Performance Units shall be subject to restrictions and other
conditions of the Grant.
(b) Terms. The Committee shall establish performance goals and terms for Performance Units in
accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. The Committee shall establish appropriate threshold, target
amount and maximum payments to be made with respect to the Performance Units.
(c) Requirements of Employment or Service. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or
provide service to, AmeriGas or its Affiliates during the applicable period specified in the Grant
Letter, all of the Participants Performance Units shall terminate. However, if a Participant
holding Performance Units ceases to be employed by, or provide service to AmeriGas by reason of
Retirement, Disability, or death, the restrictions on Performance Units held by the Participant
shall lapse pursuant to the following:
(i) If a Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or
death, the restrictions on a pro-rata portion of the Participants outstanding Performance Units
shall lapse at the end of the restriction period set forth in the Grant Letter, if the performance
goals and all requirements of the Grant Letter (other than continued employment) are met. The
prorated portion shall be determined, for each Performance Unit, as the amount that would otherwise
be paid according to the terms of the Performance Unit, based on achievement of the performance
goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years during the
restriction period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, AmeriGas
or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration
calculation, the year in which the Participants Retirement, Disability, or death occurs shall be
counted as a full year.
(ii) In the event of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated portion of the Performance
Units shall be paid at the date specified for payment of the Performance Units in the Grant Letter,
or at an earlier date determined by the Committee in the Grant Letter.
2
(d) Payment with Respect to Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the
conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, AmeriGas shall pay to the
Participant, within 21/2 months after the end of the restriction period, Common Units equal to the
number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, provided
that AmeriGas may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the
minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect to Performance Units earned.
(e) Coordination with Severance Plan. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms and
Conditions, if a Participant receives severance benefits under a Severance Plan, the terms of which
require that severance compensation payable under the Severance Plan be reduced by benefits payable
under this Plan, any amount payable to the Participant under Performance Units and Distribution
Equivalents after the Participants termination of employment shall be reduced by the amount of
severance compensation paid to the Participant under the Severance Plan, as required by, and
according to the terms of, the Severance Plan, if permitted by section 409A of the Code or an
exception.
(f) Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units. Distribution Equivalents, if
granted, shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same
performance goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution
Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the target award of Performance Units from the Date
of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are
forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(g) Accounts. While Performance Units are outstanding, AmeriGas shall keep records in an
Account for each Participant who holds Performance Units. On each payment date for a distribution
paid by APLP on its common units, AmeriGas shall credit to the Participants Account an amount
equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the target award of Performance Units held by
the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest shall be credited to any such
Account.
(h) Payment of Distribution Equivalents. Distribution Equivalents shall be paid in cash at
the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the
Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
(i) Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, all outstanding Performance Units and
Distribution Equivalents shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the target
amount or (ii) the amount earned as of the date of the Change of Control based on AmeriGass
achievement of the performance goals as of the Change of Control, as determined by the Committee.
If a former Participant is entitled to receive a prorated award for the restriction period, the
award shall be the prorated portion of the amount described in the preceding sentence. The
Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall be paid on the closing date of the Change of
Control.

3. Phantom Units Executive Employees
(a) Grant of Phantom Units. The Committee shall select the executive level Employees who
shall receive Phantom Units and shall determine the number of Common Units subject to Phantom Units
and the terms of the Phantom Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Distribution
Equivalents shall be granted with respect to Phantom Units for executive level Employees. The
Committee shall specify in the Participants Grant Letter the terms and conditions of the Phantom
Units and the applicable restrictions, including the period during which the Phantom Units shall be
subject to vesting requirements, if any, and other conditions of the Grant.
(b) Vesting of Phantom Units. Phantom Units will vest on such terms as the Committee
determines and specifies in the Grant Letter. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or
provide service to AmeriGas or its Affiliates, any unvested Phantom Units will immediately
terminate, except as provided below. The Committee may authorize payment of Phantom Units on a
prorated or other basis in such circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate, including in the
event that a Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to AmeriGas or its
Affiliates, on account of Retirement, Disability or death.
(c) Payment with respect to Phantom Units. A Participant will receive payment with respect
to Phantom Units as the Phantom Units vest, within 30 business days after the vesting date.
Payment with respect to Phantom Units shall be made in Common Units, provided that AmeriGas may
withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory
tax withholding requirement in respect to Phantom Units earned.
(d) Coordination with Severance Plan. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms and
Conditions, if a Participant receives severance benefits under a Severance Plan, the terms of which
require that severance compensation payable under the Severance Plan be reduced by benefits payable
under this Plan, any amount payable to the Participant under Phantom Units and Distribution
Equivalents after the Participants termination of employment shall be reduced by the amount of
severance compensation paid to the Participant under the Severance Plan, as required by, and
according to the terms of, the Severance Plan, if permitted by section 409A of the Code or an
exception.
(e) Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Phantom Units. Distribution Equivalents, if
granted, shall accrue with respect to Phantom Units and shall be payable subject to the same terms
as the Phantom Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect
to Phantom Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If the underlying Phantom Units
are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(f) Accounts. While Phantom Units are outstanding, AmeriGas shall keep records in an Account
for each Participant who holds Phantom Units. If the Phantom Unit was granted with Distribution
Equivalents, on each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its common units, AmeriGas
shall credit to the Participants Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents
associated with the Phantom Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution.
No interest shall be credited to any such Account.
4
(g) Payment of Distribution Equivalents. Distribution Equivalents shall be paid after the
vesting and other requirements specified in the Grant Letter have been met, at the same time as the
underlying Phantom Units are paid or as otherwise determined by the Committee. Distribution
Equivalents will be paid in cash.
(h) Change of Control. All outstanding Phantom Units shall become fully vested upon a Change
of Control and shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as
described below). All Distribution Equivalents shall become fully vested and paid when the
underlying Phantom Units are paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Phantom Units are subject
to section 409A of the Code, the Phantom Units shall be paid upon a Change of Control only if the
transaction constituting a Change of Control is also a change in control event under section 409A
of the Code (409A Change in Control Event). If the transaction constituting a Change of Control
does not constitute a 409A Change in Control Event, the outstanding Phantom Units shall vest upon
the Change of Control, and any outstanding Phantom Units that are subject to section 409A shall be
paid in cash (based on the value of the Phantom Units on the payment date as determined by the
Committee) within 30 days after the first to occur of (i) the vesting date set forth in the
Participants Grant Letter or (ii) the Participants termination of employment or service (subject
to the section 409A six-month delay, if applicable). If payment is delayed after the Change of
Control, the Committee may provide for the Phantom Units to be valued as of the date of the Change
of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period
between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
4. Phantom Units Non-Executive Employees
(a) Grant of Phantom Units. The Committee shall select the non-executive level Employees who
shall receive Phantom Units and shall determine the number of Common Units subject to Phantom Units
and the terms of the Phantom Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Distribution
Equivalents shall not be granted with respect to Phantom Units for non-executive Employees. The
Committee shall specify in the Participants Grant Letter the terms and conditions of the Phantom
Units and the applicable restrictions, including the period during which the Phantom Units shall be
subject to vesting requirements, if any, and other conditions of the Grant.
(b) Vesting of Phantom Units. Phantom Units will vest on such terms as the Committee
determines and specifies in the Grant Letter. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the
Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to AmeriGas or its Affiliates, any
unvested Phantom Units will immediately terminate and be forfeited.
(c) Payment with respect to Phantom Units. A Participant will receive payment with respect to
Phantom Units when the Phantom Units vest, within 30 business days after the vesting date. Payment
with respect to Phantom Units shall be made in Common Units, provided that AmeriGas may withhold
Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax
withholding requirement in respect to Phantom Units earned.
(d) Accounts. While Phantom Units are outstanding, AmeriGas shall keep records in an Account
for each Participant who holds Phantom Units.

of Control and shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control.

2. Phantom Units
(a) Annual Award of Phantom Units. On the fifth business day of each Plan Year, each
Non-Employee Director shall receive an award of Phantom Units in the amount set forth on the
attached Exhibit A. Such Phantom Units shall be credited to each Non-Employee Directors Account
as specified in Section 2(c) below. Any Non-Employee Director who becomes a Non-Employee Director
after the fifth business day of the Plan Year shall receive, on the date such individual becomes a
Non-Employee Director, a pro-rata share of the annual award of Phantom Units determined based on
the number of calendar quarters during the Plan Year that he or she is expected to serve as a
Non-Employee Director. A Non-Employee Director will be deemed to serve for the entire quarter if
he or she is a Non-Employee Director on at least one day of the quarter.
(b) Distribution Equivalents
(i) Crediting of Distribution Equivalents. From the Date of Grant of each Phantom Unit until
the Non-Employee Directors Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a
distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, AmeriGas shall credit to the Non-Employee Directors
Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalent associated with the Phantom Units held by
the Non-Employee Director on the record date for the distribution.
(ii) Conversion to Phantom Units. On the last day of each Plan Year, the amount of the
Distribution Equivalents credited to the Non-Employee Directors Account during that Plan Year
shall be converted to a number of Phantom Units, based on the Unit Value on the last day of the
Plan Year. In the event of a Change of Control or in the event the Non-Employee Director dies or
Separates from Service 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 Phantom Units are redeemed, AmeriGas shall
convert the amount of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Non-Employee Directors Account
as of the date of the Change of Control, death or Separation from Service (the Conversion Date)
to a number of Phantom Units based on the Unit Value on the Conversion Date.
(c) Accounts. AmeriGas shall keep records to reflect the number of Phantom Units and
Distribution Equivalents credited to each Non-Employee Director. Fractional Phantom Units shall
accumulate in the Non-Employee Directors Account and shall be added to other fractional Phantom
Units held in such Account to create whole Phantom Units.
3. Events Requiring Redemption of Phantom Units
AmeriGas shall redeem Phantom Units credited to a Non-Employee Directors Account only at the
times and in the manner prescribed by the terms of this Section 3 and the Grant Letter.
(a) Redemption. When Phantom Units are to be redeemed, AmeriGas will determine the value of
the Phantom Units credited to the Non-Employee Directors Account as of the date of the
Non-Employee Directors Separation from Service or death. Except as described in subsection (c)
below, an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate value of the Phantom Units shall be paid in the form
of whole Common Units (with fractional Common Units paid in cash), and the remaining 35% of the
aggregate value of the Phantom Units shall be paid in cash.
7
(b) Separation from Service or Death. In the event a Non-Employee Director Separates from
Service or dies, AmeriGas shall redeem all of the Phantom Units then credited to the Non-Employee
Directors Account as of the date of such Separation from Service or death. In the event of a
Separation from Service, the redemption amount shall be paid within 30 business days after the date
of the Non-Employee Directors Separation from Service. In the event of death, the redemption
amount shall be paid to the Non-Employee Directors estate within 60 business days after the
Non-Employee Directors death.
(c) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, AmeriGas shall redeem all the
Phantom Units then credited to the Non-Employee Directors Account. The redemption amount shall be
paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as described below). The amount
paid shall equal the product of the number of Phantom Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit
Value at the date of the Change of Control. However, in the event that the transaction
constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code,
the Non-Employee Directors Phantom Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from
Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate
value of the Phantom Units on the date of Separation from Service or death as determined by the
Committee), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is
delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Committee may provide
for the Phantom Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be
credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control
date and the payment date.
(d) Effect on Outstanding Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents. The provisions of this
Section 3 relating to the medium of payment (i.e., payment in cash or in a combination of
cash and Common Units) shall apply to all outstanding Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents.
(e) Section 409A. Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents shall meet the requirements of
section 409A of the Code or an exemption from such requirements.
(f) Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Employee Director may make a
one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have all of the Non-Employee Directors Phantom Units
credited to the Non-Employee Directors account under the Deferral Plan on the date of the
Non-Employee Directors Separation from Service, in lieu of the redemption and payments described
in subsections (b) and (c). If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, the
Non-Employee Directors Phantom Units will be credited to the Non-Employee Directors account under
the Deferral Plan at Separation from Service and the amount credited to the Deferral Plan shall be
distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Plan. If the Non-Employee Director
makes a deferral election and a Change of Control occurs: (i) subsection (c) above shall apply if
the Change of Control occurs before the Non-Employee Directors Separation from Service and (ii)
the terms of the Deferral Plan shall apply if the Change of Control occurs after or simultaneously
with the Non-Employee Directors Separation from Service. An election under this subsection (f)
shall be made in writing, on a form and at a time prescribed by the Committee and shall be
irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary.
