UGI CORPORATION

2004 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT LETTER




This STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated January 1, 2009 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI
Corporation (“UGI”) to                      (the “Participant”).



RECITALS




The UGI Corporation 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant
of options to purchase shares of common stock of UGI. The Compensation and Management Development
Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to make a stock option
grant to the Participant.



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree
as follows:



1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter
and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a nonqualified stock option (the
“Option”) to purchase                      shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”) at an exercise price of
$                     per Share. The Option shall become exercisable according to Paragraph 2 below.



2. Exercisability of Option. The Option shall become exercisable on the following dates,
if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company (as defined below) on the
applicable date:



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Shares for Which the	 
	Date	 	Option is Exercisable	 
	January 1, 2010
	 	 	331/3	%
	January 1, 2011
	 	 	331/3	%
	January 1, 2012
	 	 	331/3	%






The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Shares subject to
the Option. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Shares, the number of Shares for
which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.



 


 









 






3. Term of Option.



(a) The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at
the expiration of that period (5:00 p.m. EST on December 31, 2018), unless it is terminated at an
earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Grant Letter or the Plan.



(b) If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, the
Option will terminate on the date the Participant ceases such employment or service. However, if
the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of (i)
Termination Without Cause (as defined below), (ii) Retirement (as defined below), (iii) Disability
(as defined below), or (iv) death, the Option held by the Participant will thereafter be
exercisable pursuant to the following terms:




(i) Termination Without Cause. If the Participant terminates employment or service on
account of a Termination without Cause, the Option will thereafter be exercisable only with
respect to that number of Shares with respect to which the Option is already exercisable on
the date the Participant’s employment or service terminates. Such portion of the Option
will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of
the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or
provide service to, the Company.




(ii) Retirement. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to,
the Company on account of Retirement, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if
the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date
of such Retirement. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of
the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.




(iii) Disability. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to,
the Company on account of Disability, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if
the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date
of such termination of employment or service. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of
the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.




(iv) Death. In the event of the death of the Participant while employed by, or
providing service to, the Company, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable and
may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or
the expiration of the 12-month period following the Participant’s death. Death of the
Participant after the Participant has ceased to be employed by, or provide service to, the
Company will not affect the otherwise applicable period for exercise of the Option
determined pursuant to subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) above. After the Participant’s death,
the Participant’s Option may be exercised by the Participant’s estate.



4. Exercise Procedures.



(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Participant may exercise part
or all of the exercisable Option by giving UGI irrevocable written notice of intent to exercise on
a form provided by UGI and delivered in the manner provided in Section 13 below. Payment of the
exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes must be made prior to issuance of the Shares.
The Participant shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering Shares (or by
attestation to ownership of Shares), which shall be valued at their fair market value on the date
of delivery, which shall have been held by the Participant for at least six months, and which shall
have a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment
through a broker in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Committee and
permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by such other method as the
Committee may approve. The Committee may impose such limitations as it deems appropriate on the
use of Shares to exercise the Option.

(b) The obligation of UGI to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to
all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be
deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as UGI’s counsel shall deem necessary
or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations. UGI may require that the
Participant (or other person exercising the Option after the Participant’s death) represent that
the Participant is purchasing Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to or
for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares, or such other representation as UGI
deems appropriate.



(c) All obligations of UGI under this Grant Letter shall be subject to the rights of the
Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if
applicable.



5. Definitions. Whenever used in this Grant Letter, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth below:




(a) “Company” means UGI and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Plan).



(b) “Disability” means a long-term disability as defined in the Company’s long-term disability
plan applicable to the Participant.



(c) “Employed by, or provide service to, the Company” shall mean employment or service as an
employee or director of the Company.



(d) “Retirement” means the Participant’s retirement under the Retirement Income Plan for
Employees of UGI Utilities, Inc., if the Participant is covered by that Retirement Income Plan.
“Retirement” for other Company employees means termination of employment after attaining age 55
with ten or more years of service with the Company.



(e) “Termination without Cause” means termination of employment for the convenience of the
Company for any reason other than (i) misappropriation of funds, (ii) habitual insobriety or
substance abuse, (iii) conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or (iv) gross negligence in
the performance of duties, which gross negligence has had a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, assets, properties or financial condition of the Company. The Committee may
determine in its sole discretion whether, and under what circumstances, the Participant’s voluntary
termination upon a significant reduction in the Participant’s duties and responsibilities will
constitute a Termination without Cause for purposes of the Grant Letter.



6. Change of Control. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the
outstanding Option will become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control, and the
Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

7. Restrictions on Exercise. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the
Plan, only the Participant may exercise the Option during the Participant’s lifetime and, after the
Participant’s death, the Option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s estate, to the extent
that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this Grant Letter.



8. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan and the
Terms and Conditions established by the Committee with respect to the Plan, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the
Plan and the Terms and Conditions. The grant and exercise of the Option are subject to

in capitalization of the Company and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee
shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Option pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.



9. No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the
Participant any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Company and shall not
interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment or
service at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Participant’s employment or
service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.



10. No Shareholder Rights. Neither the Participant, nor any person entitled to exercise
the Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and
privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, until certificates
for Shares have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.



11. Assignment and Transfers. The rights and interests of the Participant under this Grant
Letter may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the
death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The rights and
protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and
