reasonable notice prior to such disclosure and shall comply with any applicable
protective order
b.    All reports, manuals, memoranda, electronic information and data and other
materials made available to me by AmeriGas during the performance of my duties

upon the termination of my employment. I shall take reasonable security
precautions and measures to maintain and protect the confidentiality of

4.    Intellectual Property Ownership
a.    As used in this Agreement, “Company Innovations” means all inventions,
creations, ideas (whether written or suggested), compositions, products,
reports, outlines, improvements, modifications, processes, formulas, models,
prototypes, sketches, drawings, plans or other works or material(s) for which I,
alone or with one or more others, may make, devise or discover during my
employment with AmeriGas, including all ideas, inventions, creations, or plans
written, suggested, created, produced, constructed, and/or contemplated
including, but not limited to, items that pertain or are actually or potentially
useful to any of the commercial or industrial activities, or processes and/or
equipment for supporting same, of AmeriGas. Company Innovations do not include,
however, any invention that I developed entirely on my own time without using
AmeriGas’ equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information, except
for those inventions that either: (1) relate at the time of conception or
reduction to practice of the invention to the design, manufacturing, marketing
or sale of propane products or services; or (2) result from any work performed
by me for AmeriGas
b.    All Company Innovations shall be the sole and exclusive property of
AmeriGas and shall constitute “works made for hire” as that term is defined in
the copyright laws of the United States.
c.    I agree to execute and deliver to AmeriGas such assignments or other
instruments as AmeriGas may require from time to time to evidence AmeriGas’
ownership of Company Innovations.
d.    I agree to waive any and all rights to Company Innovations.
e.    I shall, irrespective of the termination of my employment with AmeriGas,
give all information and data in my possession as to the exact working,
producing, and using any inventions and will also at the expense of AmeriGas
give all such explanations, demonstrations, and instructions to AmeriGas as
AmeriGas may deem appropriate to enable the full and effectual working
production or use of the same. At AmeriGas’ expense, I shall, irrespective of
the termination of my employment with AmeriGas, promptly execute all acts,
matters, documents, and perform all other acts necessary to enable AmeriGas or
its designated representative to apply for and obtain any and all applicable
intellectual property rights in any and all countries relating to any Company
Innovations.
5.    Non-competition and Non-solicitation.
During my employment and for a period of two years after the termination of my
employment with AmeriGas for any reason, voluntary or involuntary:
a.    I will not, for the benefit of myself or any other person or entity other
than AmeriGas, directly or indirectly, for the purpose or effect of competing or
interfering with any part of AmeriGas’ business, solicit or service the business
of any AmeriGas Customer within the Territory.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b.    I will not, directly or indirectly: (i) own or operate; (ii) acquire an
equity or partnership interest or a controlling interest of any other kind in;
(iii) accept employment from; or (iv) serve as a principal, director, officer,
partner, consultant, agent, representative or advisor of or to, any business
that now or in the future distributes propane in the Territory or that sells
goods or provides services that compete with goods sold or services provided by
AmeriGas in the Territory without first obtaining the written consent of the
_____________________of AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in the event that my employment is involuntarily terminated by
AmeriGas based upon my failure to meet the performance or financial objectives
established for my position and AmeriGas, in its sole discretion, determines
that such failure on my part was not deliberate, AmeriGas may, in its sole
discretion, on a case by case basis, determine that a reduction in the two-year
post-employment term is appropriate. Nothing in paragraph 5(b) above shall
prohibit me from passively investing in a publicly held business that competes
with AmeriGas provided my investment is less than 1% of the outstanding stock or
market value of the business and I do not otherwise violate paragraph 3, 4, or 5
of this Agreement.
c.    I will not, directly or indirectly, nor will I induce any other person or
entity to, solicit, recruit, offer employment or engagement to, hire, employ or
engage (or participate in any of the foregoing), in a competing business, any
employee or consultant of AmeriGas over whom I had direct or indirect
supervisory responsibility or with whom I worked, or who was employed or engaged
by AmeriGas during the two-year period prior to the termination of my
employment. Furthermore, I shall not induce or attempt to induce any employee or
consultant to terminate his or her employment or engagement with AmeriGas.
6.    Remedies and Reformation.
a.    I understand that if I violate this Agreement, AmeriGas will suffer
irreparable harm; therefore, in addition to any other remedies available to it,
AmeriGas will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or equitable relief,
including orders prohibiting violations of this Agreement, without the necessity
of posting a bond. The limitations in this Agreement which apply for a period of
two years after termination of employment shall be enforced by a court from the
date of the last breach or violation of the applicable restriction(s) up to four
years after termination of employment. If any provision of this Agreement shall
be determined to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the parties to this
Agreement authorize the court to modify it to the extent necessary to make the
provision enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to
be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, such invalidity shall not impair the
operation of or affect the remaining provisions hereof.
b.    In any legal proceeding in which AmeriGas obtains injunctive or equitable
relief or damages against me arising out of my violation of this Agreement,
AmeriGas shall be entitled to recover from me its reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs.
c.    The failure by AmeriGas to insist on my compliance with this Agreement or
to enforce it in any particular circumstance will not constitute a waiver by
AmeriGas of its rights to seek relief for any other or subsequent breach of this
Agreement. Any breach by AmeriGas of this Agreement or any other agreement
between AmeriGas and me, whether or not material, shall not constitute a defense
to AmeriGas’ enforcement of this Agreement against me.

re-execution in the event that: (i) I am employed by AmeriGas in another
position or transferred to another territory; (ii) I take a leave of absence; or
(iii) there are periods between active employment during which I do not perform
services for AmeriGas.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This Agreement and all disputes or claims arising

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its choice of law provisions.
c.    The Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County and the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (hereafter, the
“Designated Courts”) shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out
of or relating to this Agreement. Accordingly, both AmeriGas and I agree to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Designated Courts, and
each of us agrees to waive any right to contest personal jurisdiction and venue
before such courts or to seek to transfer or otherwise object to or challenge
the forums designated herein.
d.    I will disclose the existence of this Agreement to all of my prospective
and actual employers. I authorize AmeriGas to disclose the existence of this
Agreement and to provide a copy of this Agreement to any prospective and actual
employer.
e.    I have read and understood this Agreement, believe it to be reasonable,
and am signing it voluntarily. I acknowledge that my obligations under this

law or equity. I also understand that the execution of this Agreement is a

me and AmeriGas regarding AmeriGas's Confidential Information and my
non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, which Agreement cannot be
varied except by a writing signed by me and the _____________________of AmeriGas
Propane, Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement
are in addition to, and not a limitation or substitution of, nor do they

Employee Handbook or Human Resources Policies.

or indirect parent, affiliate, subsidiary, division, related company or entity
of AmeriGas and to any entity that acquires through purchase, merger or
otherwise, the assets or stock of, or any interest in, AmeriGas Propane, Inc,.
AmeriGas Propane, L.P. or AmeriGas Partners, L.P., or their respective
subsidiaries, partnerships and affiliates. Any assignee shall have the same
rights as AmeriGas under this Agreement.
