                            PURPOSE AND TERM OF PLAN

      Section 1.01 Background. This Plan is amended and restated in its entirety
as of December 15, 2003, with all changes effective as of that date.

      Section 1.02 Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is intended to alleviate, in
part or in full, financial hardships which may be experienced by certain
Executive Employees employed in the United States whose employment is terminated
without Just Cause, in recognition of their past service to the Company and its
Affiliates. In essence, benefits under the Plan are intended to be additional
compensation for past services or for the continuation of specified employee
benefits for a transitional period. The amount or kind of benefit to be provided
is to be based on the Executive Employee's Compensation and the employee benefit
programs applicable to the Executive Employee at the Executive Employee's
Employment Termination Date. The Plan is not intended to be included in the
definitions of "employee pension benefit plan" and "pension plan" set forth
under Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA. Rather, this Plan is intended to meet the
descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a "severance pay plan" within
the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code
of Federal Regulations, Section 2510.3-2(b). Accordingly, the benefits paid by
the Plan are not deferred compensation and no employee shall have a vested right
to such benefits. In addition, the Plan has been drafted to give the Company
broad discretion in designating individuals who are eligible for benefits and
the amount of such benefits. All actions taken by the Company shall be in its
role as the plan sponsor and not as a fiduciary.

      Section 1.03 Term of the Plan. This amendment and restatement is a
continuation of the Company's existing Plan. The Plan will continue until such
time as the Company, acting in its sole discretion, elects to modify, supersede
or terminate it in accordance with the further provisions hereof.

                                  PARTICIPATION
                          AND ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS

      Section 3.01 General Eligibility Requirement. In its sole discretion,
acting in its role as Plan sponsor and not as a fiduciary, the Company may grant
a Benefit under this Plan to any Executive Employee whom the Company designates
as a Participant and whose employment is terminated by the Company or an
Affiliate other than for Just Cause, death, or continuous illness, injury or
incapacity for a period of six consecutive months. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, an Executive Employee will not be considered to have
incurred a termination by the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of this Plan
if his or her employment is discontinued due to voluntary resignation or the
expiration of a leave of absence. In addition, the Executive Employee must meet
the requirements of Section 3.03 in order to receive a Benefit under this Plan.

      Section 3.02 Substantially Comparable Employment. In the absence of a
Change of Control, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Benefits
shall be due hereunder to an Executive Employee in connection with the
disposition of a business, division or affiliated company by the Company or an
Affiliate if substantially comparable terms of employment, as determined by the
Company, have been offered to the Executive Employee by the transferee;
provided, however, that the Company, acting in its role as Plan sponsor and not
as a fiduciary, may determine that the Company or an Affiliate will provide some
or all of the Benefits to an Executive Employee whose employment with the
Company and its Affiliates is terminated as described in Section 3.01. This
Section 3.02 shall not apply at or after a Change of Control.

      Section 3.03 Conditions to Entitlement to Benefits.

            (a) As further conditions to entitlement to Benefits under the Plan,
all Participants must, prior to the payment of any Benefits due hereunder, (i)
sign and not rescind or contest the enforceability of a Release; (ii) ratify any
patent assignment, confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition and other
post-employment activities agreement in effect between the Participant and the
Company or an Affiliate; (iii) return to the Company and its Affiliates any and
all property of the Company and its Affiliates held by the Participant,
including but not limited to, all reports, manuals, memoranda, computer disks,
tapes and data made available to the Participant during the performance of the
Participant's duties, including all copies; (iv) hold confidential any and all
information concerning the Company and its Affiliates, whether with respect to
its business, subscribers, providers, customers, operations, finances,
employees, contractors, or otherwise; and (v) cooperate fully with the Company
and its Affiliates to complete the transition of matters with which the
Participant is familiar or responsible to other employees and make himself or
herself available to answer questions or assist in matters which may require
attention after the Participant's Employment Termination Date.

            (b) If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the
Participant has violated one or more of the foregoing conditions to entitlement
to Benefits, the Committee may determine that the Participant will not receive
the Benefits or the Company may discontinue the payment of Benefits under the
Plan. Any remedy under this Section 3.03 shall be in addition to,

                                       5
<PAGE>

and not in place of, any other remedy the Company and its Affiliates may have,
at law or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    BENEFITS

      Section 4.01 Amount of Immediate Cash Benefit. The Company, acting in its
role as Plan sponsor and not as a fiduciary, shall determine which Executive
Employees shall be awarded a Benefit hereunder and the amount of any such
Benefit. The Company may take into account any factors it determines to be
relevant in deciding which Executive Employees shall be awarded Benefits and the
amount of such Benefits, and need not apply its determinations in a uniform
manner to terminated Executive Employees similarly situated. All such decisions
shall be final, binding, and conclusive with respect to the Participant. Unless
the Company determines otherwise, the cash amount to be paid to a Participant
eligible to receive Benefits under Section 3.01 hereof shall be paid in a lump
sum as provided in Section 5.01 hereof and shall equal the sum of the amounts
described in subsections (a) through (d), less the amount described in
subsection (e), except that any payment under paragraph (b) below that is based
on annual financial performance will be excluded from the lump sum payment and
paid separately as provided below:

            (a) An amount equal to the Participant's earned and accrued vacation
entitlement, including banked vacation time, and personal holidays through the
end of the Participant's Salary Continuation Period.

            (b) An amount equal to the Participant's annual target bonus amount
under the applicable annual bonus plan (or its successor) for the current Plan
Year multiplied by the number of months elapsed in the current Plan Year to his
or her Employment Termination Date and divided by twelve (12), together with any
amounts previously deferred by the Participant under such plan (with interest
thereon at the rate prescribed by such plan) as well as any amounts due from the
prior year under such plan but not yet paid, provided, however, that if the
Employment Termination Date occurs in the last two (2) months of the fiscal
year, in lieu of the payment described above, the amount of the current Plan
Year target bonus to be paid pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be determined
and paid after the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the applicable annual bonus plan as though the Participant were
still an employee, except that the weighting to be applied to the Participant's
business/financial performance goals under the annual bonus plan will be deemed
to be 100%; provided further, however, that the Company, in its sole discretion,
may determine that the amount payable pursuant to this paragraph (b) for
Employment Termination Dates occurring in the last two (2) months of the fiscal
year may be computed in the same manner as that provided for Employment
Termination Dates occurring during the first ten (10) months of the fiscal year.

            (c) In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, an amount of paid
notice equal to one hundred thirty (130) times a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Chief Executive Officer's Compensation and the denominator of which
is two hundred sixty (260), and in the case of all other Participants, paid
notice calculated as an amount equal to sixty-five (65) times a fraction the
numerator of which is the Participant's Compensation and the denominator of
which is two-hundred sixty (260).

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (d) An amount equal to the number of the Participant's Years of
Service multiplied by twelve (12) times a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Participant's Compensation and the denominator of which is two-hundred sixty
(260); provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed 100% of the
Participant's Compensation.

            (e) If the Participant's employment with the Company and its
Affiliates terminates before a Change of Control, the cash amount computed in
subsections (a) through (d) above shall be reduced by the amount of cash and the
fair market value of any partnership units, stock or other property that is
payable to the Participant under Restricted Awards after the Participant's
termination of employment, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may
determine that payment of a portion of the Benefit under this Plan will be
delayed pending calculation of the amount payable under Restricted Awards, or
the Committee may decide to pay the amounts described in subsections (a) through
(d) above immediately and offset amounts payable under the Restricted Awards by
the amount of the Benefit previously paid under this Plan. In no event shall a
Participant be required to return to the Company or an Affiliate any amounts
previously paid under this Plan as a result of a decline in the value of
Restricted Awards.

            (f) The offset described in subsection (e) shall not apply if the
Participant's employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates at or
after a Change of Control. In addition, the offset described in subsection (e)
shall not apply to any Restricted Awards for which all requirements for payment
have been met before the Participant's Employment Termination Date (for example,
if the restriction period for a Restricted Award ends on December 31, 2005, the
Restricted Award is payable on February 1, 2006 and the Participant's employment
is terminated on January 15, 2006, Benefits under this Plan shall not be offset
by the Restricted Award).

            (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum payment calculated
under subsections (a) through (d) above shall not be less than six (6) months of
base salary at the level in effect on the beginning of the quarter immediately
preceding the Employment Termination Date, without regard for target bonus, for
Participants in employment grades 36-39 and one (1) year's base salary in effect
on the beginning of the quarter immediately preceding the Employment Termination
Date, without regard for target bonus, for Participants in employment grades 40
and higher.

      Section 4.02 Executive Benefits. A Participant shall continue to be
entitled, through the end of the Participant's Salary Continuation Period, to
those employee benefits listed below (but only if they are in effect from time
to time during the Salary Continuation Period) based upon the amount of coverage
or benefit provided at the Participant's Employment Termination Date:

            (a) Basic Life Insurance;

            (b) Supplemental Life Insurance;

            (c) Medical Plan and Dental Assistance Plan, including COBRA
continuation coverage;

                                       8
<PAGE>

            (d) AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan,
and

            (e) UGI Corporation Senior Executive Retirement Plan, to the extent
applicable.

In each case, when contributions are required of all Executive Employees at the
time of the Participant's Employment Termination Date, or thereafter, if
required of all other Executive Employees, the Participant shall be responsible
for making the required contributions at the employee rate, on an after-tax
basis only, during the Salary Continuation Period in order to be eligible for
the coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing language, the Participant shall not
be entitled to make any Flexible Spending Account (childcare or medical)
contributions during the Salary Continuation Period. In lieu of any or all of
the coverages provided under any of clauses (a) through (c) above, the Company
or an Affiliate may pay to the Participant, at the time payment is otherwise to
be made of cash Benefits pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof, a single lump sum
payment equal to the then present value of the cost of such coverages.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such coverages shall be
discontinued if, and at the time, the Participant obtains other employment and
becomes eligible to participate in the plan of, or is provided similar coverage
by, a new employer; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be
required to refund any sum to the Company or an Affiliate should a lump sum have
been paid pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any applicable conversion rights
shall be provided to the Participant at the time coverage ceases. The Committee
shall determine to what extent, if any, any other perquisites or benefit
coverages such as tax preparation services shall continue to be provided during
the Salary Continuation Period and whether the Participant shall be entitled to
outplacement services or to receive title to the Participant's Company-supplied
automobile, if any, in which case the value of the Participant's cash Benefit
under Section 4.01 hereof shall be increased accordingly. The Participant shall
be responsible for the payment of sales tax on such automobile, if any.

      Section 4.03 Retirement Plans. This Plan shall not govern and shall in no
way affect the Participant's interest in, or entitlement to benefits under, any
of the qualified retirement plans of the Company or an Affiliate, and any
payments received under any such plan shall not affect a Participant's right to
any Benefit hereunder.

      Section 4.04 Effect on Other Benefits. There shall not be drawn from the
continued provision by the Company of any of the aforementioned Benefits any
implication of continued employment or of continued right to accrual of benefits
under a qualified retirement plan of the Company or an Affiliate or an Executive
Equity Plan, and a terminated Executive Employee shall not, except as provided
in Section 4.01(a) hereof, accrue vacation days, paid holidays, paid sick days
or other similar benefits normally associated with employment for any part of
the Salary Continuation Period during which benefits are payable under this
Plan. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be in addition to and not in
lieu of any payments or benefits due to the Participant under any other plan,
policy, or program of the Company and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, as determined by the Company, the Benefits payable under
this Plan to any Participant may be reduced by any and all payments required to
be made by the Company or an Affiliate under federal, state and local law,
including the Worker

                                       9

Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101 et. seq., or

                     METHOD AND DURATION OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS

      Section 5.01 Method of Payment. The cash Benefits to which a Participant
is entitled, as determined pursuant to Article IV hereof, shall be paid in a
lump sum. Payment shall be made by mailing to the last address provided by the
Participant to the Company or an Affiliate. Payment shall be made as soon as
reasonably practicable after the fulfillment of all conditions for payment of
the Benefit set forth in Section 4.01, and subject to compliance with all
requirements of Section 3.03. All payments under the Plan are subject to
applicable federal, state and local taxes.

      Section 5.02 Payments to Beneficiaries. Each Participant shall designate
one or more beneficiaries to receive any Benefits due hereunder in the event of
the Participant's death prior to the receipt of all such Benefits. Such
beneficiary designation shall be made in the manner, and at the time, prescribed
by the Committee. In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation
hereunder, the Participant's estate shall be deemed to be the Participant's
designated beneficiary.

eligibility of each Participant for Benefits under the Plan, to determine the
amount of Benefits to which each such Participant may be entitled, and to

Benefits consistent with the provisions hereof. The Company shall make such
payments as are certified to it by the Committee to be due to Participants. The
Committee shall have the full power and discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and administer the Plan, to correct deficiencies therein, and to
supply omissions. All decisions, actions, and interpretations of the Committee
shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties. The Committee may
delegate ministerial and other responsibilities to one or more Company
employees.

      Section 6.04 Action by the Committee. A majority of the members of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting
of the Committee. Any action of the Committee may be taken upon the affirmative

Participant for examination during business hours except that a Participant

                                       12
<PAGE>

shall examine only such records as pertain exclusively to the examining
Participant and to the Plan. The Committee shall prepare and shall file as
required by law or regulation all reports, forms, documents and other items
required by ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and every other relevant statute,
each as amended, and all regulations thereunder (except that the Company, as

and other amounts which may be similarly reportable).

      Section 6.08 Actions of the Committee. All determinations made by the

Each such application must be supported by such information as the Committee

the claim. In no event shall the extension exceed a period of 90 days from the
end of the initial period. In the event that any claim for benefits is denied in

within sixty (60) days of notification by the Committee of the claim denial,
shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the
appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

            (b) The claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

                  (i) request a review upon written notice to the Committee;

                  (ii) examine the Plan and obtain, upon request and without
charge, copies of all information relevant to the claimant's appeal; and

                  (iii) submit issues and comments in writing.

            (c) The Named Appeals Fiduciary (as described in Section 9.04) shall

longer period of time, in which case a decision shall

                                       16

            (d) The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the
claimant's written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support
of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named
Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant.

            (e) The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall render a determination upon
the appealed claim, which determination shall be accompanied by a written
statement setting forth:

                  (i) specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner

                  (iii) the claimant's right to receive, upon request and free
of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claim for benefits; and

                  (iv) the claimant's right to bring a civil action under
section 502(a) of ERISA.

      Section 9.04 Appointment of the Named Appeals Fiduciary. The Named Appeals
Fiduciary shall be the person or persons named as such by the Board of
Directors, or, if no such person or persons be named, then the person or persons
named by the Committee as the Named Appeals Fiduciary. Named Appeals Fiduciaries
may at any time be removed by the Board of Directors, and any Named Appeals
Fiduciary named by the Committee may be removed by the Committee. All such
removals may be with or without cause and shall be effective on the date stated
in the notice of removal. The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be a "Named
Fiduciary" within the meaning of ERISA, and unless appointed to other fiduciary
responsibilities, shall have no authority, responsibility or liability with
