THE COMMITTEES

Sec. 7.01 Appointment and Tenure of Administrative Committee Members. The Administrative Committee shall consist of one or more persons who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Compensation/Pension Committee. Any Administrative Committee member may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Compensation/Pension Committee. Vacancies arising by the death, resignation or removal of an Administrative Committee member may be filled by the Compensation/Pension Committee.

Sec. 7.02 Meetings; Majority Rule. Any and all acts of the Administrative Committee taken at a meeting shall be by a majority of all members of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may act by vote taken in a meeting (at which a majority of members shall constitute a quorum). The Administrative Committee may also act by unanimous consent in writing without the formality of convening a meeting.

Sec. 7.03 Delegation. The Administrative Committee may, by majority decision, delegate to each or any one of its members, authority to sign any documents on its behalf, or to perform ministerial acts, but no person to whom such authority is delegated shall perform any act involving the exercise of any discretion without first obtaining the concurrence of a majority of the members of the Administrative Committee, even though such person alone may sign any document required by third parties. The Administrative Committee shall elect one of its members to serve as Chairperson. The Chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the Administrative Committee or shall delegate such responsibility to another Administrative Committee member. The Administrative Committee shall elect one person to serve as Secretary to the Administrative Committee. All third parties may rely on any communication signed by the Secretary, acting as such, as an official communication from the Administrative Committee.

Sec. 7.04 Authority and Responsibility of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee shall have only such authority and responsibilities as are delegated to it by the Compensation/Pension Committee or specifically under this Plan. Among those delegable authorities and responsibilities are:

(a) maintenance and preservation of records relating to Participants, former Participants, and their beneficiaries;

(b) preparation and distribution to Participants of all information and notices required under federal law or the provisions of the Plan;

(c) preparation and filing of all governmental reports and other information required under law to be filed or published;

(g) promulgation of procedures for determination of claims for benefits.

Sec. 7.05 Compensation of Administrative Committee Members. The members of the Administrative Committee shall serve without compensation for their services as such, but all expenses of the Administrative Committee shall be paid or reimbursed by AGP.

Sec. 7.06 Committee Discretion. Any discretion, actions or interpretations to be made under the Plan by the Administrative Committee or by the Compensation/Pension Committee on behalf of AGP shall be made in its sole discretion, not acting in a fiduciary capacity, need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated individuals, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties.

Sec. 7.07 Indemnification of the Committees. Each member of the Administrative Committee and each member of the Compensation/Pension Committee shall be indemnified by AGP against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlement to which AGP does not consent) reasonably incurred by the member in connection with any action to which the member may be a party by reason of the member’s service on the applicable Committee, except in relation to matters as to which the member shall be adjudged in such action to be personally guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the member’s duties. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the Administrative Committee member or the Compensation/Pension Committee member may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, but shall not extend to costs, expenses and/or liabilities otherwise covered by insurance or that would be so covered by any insurance then in force if such insurance contained a waiver of subrogation. Rights granted hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnification to which the Administrative Committee member or the Compensation/Pension Committee member may be entitled pursuant to the by-laws of AGP. Service on the Administrative Committee or the Compensation/Pension Committee shall be deemed in partial fulfillment of the applicable Committee member’s function as an employee, officer, or director of AGP, if the Committee member also serves in that capacity.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Sec. 8.01 Amendment. The provisions of the Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by a resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no such amendment shall serve to reduce the benefit that has accrued on behalf of a Participant as of the effective date of the amendment, and, provided further, however, that the Compensation/Pension Committee may make such amendments as are necessary to keep the Plan in compliance with applicable law and minor amendments which do not materially affect the rights of the Participants or significantly increase the cost to AGP, AmeriGas Partners, L.P. or AmeriGas Propane, L.P.

Sec. 8.02 Plan Termination. While it is AGP’s intention to continue the Plan indefinitely in operation, the right is, nevertheless, reserved to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time for any reason without either the consent of or prior notice to any Participant. No such termination shall reduce the benefit that has accrued on behalf of a Participant as of the effective date of the termination, but AGP may immediately distribute all accrued benefits upon termination of the Plan in accordance with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Sec. 10.01 Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the payments, benefits or rights of any Participant under the Plan shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Participant. No Participant shall have the right to alienate, anticipate commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except any right to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries in connection with any form of benefit payment providing benefits after the Participant’s death.

Sec. 10.02 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of AGP, and all Participants and other Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

Sec. 10.03 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such validity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included.

Sec. 10.10 Obligations of AGP. If a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to AGP, then AGP may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Administrative Committee.

Sec. 10.11 Withholding. AGP shall withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Plan any taxes required to be withheld from such payments under local, state or Federal law.

Sec. 10.12 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
