2. Options
(a) Grant of Options. The Committee will select the Employees who shall receive Options, and will determine the number of shares subject to each Option, the Option Price and the other terms of the Options.

(b) Exercise and Vesting.
(i) Except as otherwise specified by the Committee in the Grant Letter, each Option shall become exercisable in equal one-third installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

(d) Change of Control. All outstanding Options shall become fully vested upon a Change of Control.
3. Performance Units
(a) Grant of 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 will establish performance goals and terms for Performance Units in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan. The Committee will establish appropriate threshold, Target Amount and maximum payments to be made with respect to the Performance Units.
3
(c) Requirements of Employment or Service. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company during the applicable period specified in the Grant Letter, all of the Participants the Performance Units will terminate. However, if a Participant holding Performance Units ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of Retirement, Disability, or death, the restrictions on Performance Units held by the Participant will 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 will 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 will 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, the Company and the denominator of which is the number of years in the entire restriction period applicable to such Performance Units. For purposes of the proration calculation, the year in which the Participants Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will 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.
(d) Payment of Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant, within 21/2 months after the end of the restriction period, (i) shares of Stock or cash, or a combination of the two, as the Committee determines, equal to the amount to be paid according to achievement of the performance goals, up to the target award specified in the Participants Grant Letter and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock underlying the Performance Units for any amounts payable in excess of the target amount specified by the Committee for the Performance Units.
(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 Dividend 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.
(f) Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units. Dividend 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. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the date on which the Performance Units are paid. If and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
4
(g) Accounts. While Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records in an Account for each Participant who holds Performance Units. On each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Stock, the Company shall credit to the Participants Account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents associated with the Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the dividend. No interest will be credited to any such Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents in excess of $750,000 during any calendar year.
(h) Payment of Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents will be paid after the performance goals and other requirements specified in the Grant Letter have been met, at the same time as the underlying Performance Units are paid or as otherwise determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash, Stock or a combination of the two, as the Committee determines.
(i) Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, all outstanding Performance Units and Dividend 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 the Companys 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 pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the award will be the prorated portion of the amount described in the preceding sentence. The Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents shall be paid on the closing date of the Change of Control.
4. Stock Units
(a) Grants of Stock Units. The Committee will select the Employees who will receive Stock Units and will determine the number of shares subject to Stock Units and the terms of the Stock Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Dividend Equivalents will be granted with respect to Stock Units. The Committee shall specify in the Participants Grant Letter the terms and conditions of the Stock Units and the applicable restrictions, including the period during which the Stock Units will be subject to vesting requirements, if any, and other conditions of the Grant.
(b) Vesting of Stock Units. Stock 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 the Company, any unvested Stock Units will immediately terminate, except as provided below. The Committee may authorize payment of Stock 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, the Company, on account of Retirement, Disability or death.
(c) Payment of Stock Units. A Participant will receive payment with respect to Stock Units as the Stock Units vest, within 30 business days after the vesting date. Payment shall be made in Stock, in cash or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee.
(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 Stock Units and Dividend 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.
5
(e) Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Stock Units. Dividend Equivalents, if granted, shall accrue with respect to Stock Units and shall be payable subject to the same terms as the Stock Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to Stock Units from the Date of Grant until the date on which the Stock Units are paid. If the underlying Stock Units are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(f) Accounts. While Stock Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records in an Account for each Participant who holds Stock Units. On each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Stock, the Company shall credit to the Participants Account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents associated with the Stock Units held by the Participant on the record date for the dividend. No interest will be credited to any such Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents in excess of $750,000 during any calendar year.
(g) Payment of Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash, Stock or a combination of the two, as the Committee determines.
(h) Change of Control. All outstanding Stock 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. All Dividend Equivalents shall become fully vested and paid when the underlying Stock Units are paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stock Units are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Stock 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 Stock Units will vest upon the Change of Control, and any outstanding Stock Units that are subject to section 409A will be paid in cash (based on the value of the Stock 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 Stock 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.

In the event a Participant dies, the Company shall redeem all of the Stock Units then credited to the Participants Account as of the date of the Participants death, based on the Unit Value of the Stock Units credited to the Participants Account as of the date of the Participants death.

(c) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participants 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 Stock 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 Participants Stock Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (a) or (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value 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 Stock 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.

(e) Section 409A. Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents shall meet the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue 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 Stock 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 (a), (b) and (c). If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, the Non-Employee Directors Stock 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.
5. Company Policies. All Shares issued pursuant to an Option or Stock Unit shall be subject to the UGI Corporation Stock Ownership Policy, if applicable.
