Plan for each fiscal year. The Company’s fiscal year begins on October 1.
The Committee may also designate in writing that one or more senior level
employees of a Subsidiary shall be Participants in the Plan for a fiscal year,
in its sole discretion.

IV. Annual
Bonus.

4.1 Target Bonus.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee shall establish target
bonuses as a percentage of each Participant’s salary for the fiscal year.
Each Participant shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus for the fiscal
year based on the achievement of business/financial performance goals, and the
Participant’s individual performance goals, if applicable, during the
fiscal year. The amount actually paid to a Participant may be more or less than
the target bonus amount, depending on the extent to which the performance goals
are satisfied.

4.2 Performance
Goals.

(a) Business/Financial Goals. At the beginning of each
fiscal year, the Committee shall establish the business/financial performance
goals for the fiscal year and leverage tables that apply to the performance
goals.

(b) Individual
Goals. The Committee shall determine which Participants shall have
individual performance goals as part of their bonus calculation. At the
beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee shall establish each
Participant’s individual performance goals for the year, if applicable,
and shall set leverage tables that will apply to individual performance goals.
The Committee shall determine the portion (if any) of the target bonus
attributable to individual performance that will be payable if the
business/financial performance goals are not achieved.

(c) Weighting. At the time the Committee establishes
performance goals for each fiscal year, the Committee will determine the
weighting for each Participant with respect to the business/financial goals and
the individual goals. The weighting of the two types of goals need not be
uniform as to all Participants.

leverage tables to the Participants.

determine whether and to what extent the performance goals have been met. The
Committee may adjust the performance results for extraordinary items or other
events, as the Committee deems appropriate.

to Participants whose annual bonus under the Plan is based solely on the
achievement of business/financial performance goals, the Committee shall have
discretion to increase or decrease the amount of the annual bonus by 50% more
or less than the amount otherwise determined, based on the Participant’s
contribution to the achievement of the business/financial performance goals,
other contributions that have a significant impact on Company performance, or
other factors.

4.4 Newly Hired
Employees, Promotions and Transfers. Employees who are newly hired or who
are promoted or transferred into a position eligible to participate in the Plan
during the fiscal year may be eligible to receive a prorated bonus award
calculated in whole months based on the relative time spent in the eligible
position during the fiscal year, as determined by the Committee. If a
Participant is transferred to an Affiliate of the Company (or into a position
with a different annual bonus target percentage) during the fiscal year, the
Participant’s performance goals may be adjusted to reflect the change in
Employer or position. If a Participant is transferred into a position that is
not eligible to participate in the Plan during the fiscal year, the Participant
may be eligible to receive a prorated award calculated in whole months based on
the relative time spent in the eligible position during the fiscal year, as
determined by the Committee.

4.5 Payment of
Annual Bonus. Each annual bonus for a fiscal year shall be paid in cash to
the Participant in a single lump sum payment between September 30 and
December 31 of the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends, except as
provided below.

4.6 Withholding
Tax. Each Employer shall withhold from each bonus payment an amount
sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local tax withholding requirements
relating to the bonus.

V. Termination of
Employment. Except as provided below, a Participant must be employed by
the Employer or an Affiliate of the Company on the last day of the fiscal year
for which the bonus is earned in order to receive a bonus for the year. If a
Participant’s employment terminates on account of retirement, death or
disability, as determined by the Committee, the Committee may determine in its
sole discretion that a pro rata portion of the Participant’s target
annual award will be paid, calculated in whole months based on the relative
time spent in the eligible position during the fiscal year. The bonus, if any,
shall be paid within 90 days following the Participant’s termination
of employment on account of retirement, death or disability.

VI. Administration. The Committee
administers the Plan. The Committee shall have full power and discretionary
authority to interpret and administer the Plan, to make all determinations,
including all participation and bonus determinations, and to prescribe, amend
and rescind any rules, forms or procedures as the Committee deems necessary or
appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and to make any other
determinations and take such other actions as the Committee deems necessary or
advisable in carrying out its duties under the Plan. Any action required of the
Committee under the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion
and not in a fiduciary capacity. All decisions and determinations by the
Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding
on the Company, the Participants, and any other persons having or claiming an
interest hereunder. All bonuses shall be awarded conditional upon the
Participant’s acknowledgement, by continuing in employment with the
Employer, that all decisions and determinations of the Committee shall be final
and binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person
having or claiming an interest in such bonus.

VII. General
Provisions.

7.1
Transferability. No bonus under this Plan shall be transferred,
assigned, pledged or encumbered by the Participant nor shall it 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. In the event of a
Participant’s death, any amounts payable under this Plan, as determined
by the Committee, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

7.2 Unfunded
Arrangement. The Plan is an unfunded incentive compensation arrangement.
Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall
create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. Each Participant’s
right to receive a bonus shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured
general creditor of the Employer. All bonuses shall be paid from the general
funds of the Employer, and no special or separate fund shall be established and
no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of bonuses.

7.3 No Rights to
Employment. Nothing in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall
confer upon a Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Employer,
or affect the right of the Employer to terminate a Participant’s
employment at any time for cause or for no cause whatsoever.

7.4
Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the short-term
deferral rule set forth in the regulations under section 409A of the Code, in
order to avoid application of section 409A to the Plan. If and to the extent
that any payment under this Plan is deemed to be deferred compensation subject
to the requirements of section 409A, this Plan shall be administered so that
such payments are made in accordance with the requirements of section 409A.

7.5 Termination and
Amendment of the Plan. The Compensation and Management Development
Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time.

7.6 Successors.
The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its
successors and assigns, and each Participant and his or her heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives.

7.7 Applicable Law.
The Plan shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

SERP, in the Plan Year in which the forfeiture occurs, an amount that is equal to the forfeited

the date forfeited. The allocation with respect to forfeited Matching Contributions shall not
exceed the Matching Contributions that would have been provided under the AGP 401(k) Plan in the

(a) For Plan Years ending before October 1, 2007, amounts credited to a Participant’s account
shall accrue interest from the end of the Plan Year as of which they are so credited until the date

balance of a Participant’s account as of each September 30. The rate of interest shall be equal to
the total year-to-date rate of return on the trust portfolio for the Retirement Income Plan for
Employees of UGI Utilities, Inc. (the “RIP”), except that the rate of interest in any fiscal year
may not exceed the rate of return assumed in determining the annual cost of the RIP for that year
plus one percent or be less than zero. The Administrative Committee shall make appropriate

during the Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.01 and with respect to Participants who receive a
distribution from the Plan during the Plan Year.

(b) For Plan Years beginning on or after October 1, 2007,

Committee determines. An investment designation shall remain effective until another valid
designation has been made by the Participant. The Participant may amend his investment designation
at such time or times as permitted by the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion, and in
accordance with such procedures as may be established by the Administrative Committee.

(iii) In the absence of any Participant election designating the deemed investment of his
account, a Participant shall be deemed to have elected that his account be invested in the manner
selected by the Administrative Committee for such circumstance.

(iv) Each Participant’s account shall be adjusted periodically to take into account the gains,
losses and income returns of the investment funds selected by the Participant.

Sec. 5.01 Form of Benefit Distributions. A Participant’s vested account under the AGP
SERP shall be paid in a lump sum to the Participant upon the Participant’s termination of

Cause, as described below. In the event of death, the Participant’s vested account shall be paid
in a lump sum to the Participant’s beneficiary designated in writing on a form filed with the

ARTICLE VI

FUNDING OF BENEFITS

Sec. 6.01 Source of Funds. The Board may, but shall not be required to, authorize the
establishment of a rabbi trust for the benefits described herein. In any event, AGP’s obligation

filled by the Compensation/Pension Committee.

 

6

 

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

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 AGP SERP. The Administrative
Committee shall have full power and express discretionary authority to administer and interpret the
AGP SERP, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules and regulations for
implementing the AGP SERP and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable,
in its sole discretion. The Administrative Committee’s authorities and responsibilities shall also
include:

(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 AGP SERP;

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

(d) construction of the provisions of the AGP SERP, to correct defects therein and to supply
omissions thereto;

(e) engagement of assistants and professional advisers;

(f) arrangement for bonding, if required by law; and

(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.

 

7

 

Sec. 7.06 Committee Discretion. Any discretion, actions or interpretations to be made
under the AGP SERP 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. All benefits under the AGP SERP shall be provided conditional upon the
Participant’s acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance of the benefits, that all decisions and
determinations of the Administrative Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant, his
or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under the AGP SERP.

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 AGP SERP 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 AGP SERP 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 AGP SERP Termination. While it is AGP’s intention to continue the AGP SERP
indefinitely in operation, the right is, nevertheless, reserved to terminate the AGP SERP 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 AGP SERP in accordance with section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE IX

Sec. 9.01 Claim. Any person or entity claiming a benefit, requesting an
interpretation or ruling under the AGP SERP (hereinafter referred to as “claimant”), or requesting
information under the AGP SERP shall present the request in writing to the Administrative
Committee, which shall respond in writing or electronically. The notice advising of the denial
shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of receipt of the benefit claim by the

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Sec. 10.01 Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the payments, benefits or rights of any
Participant under the AGP SERP 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 AGP SERP, 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 AGP SERP, 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 AGP SERP had never been adopted.

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

Sec. 10.04 Heirs, Assigns and Personal Representatives. The AGP SERP shall be binding
upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each
Participant, present and future.

Sec. 10.05 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for
reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the AGP SERP, and shall not be
employed in the construction of the AGP SERP.

Sec. 10.06 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise clearly indicated by context,
the masculine and the neuter shall include the feminine and the neuter, the singular shall include
the plural, and vice-versa.

Sec. 10.07 Controlling Law. The AGP SERP shall be construed and enforced according to
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law, which
shall otherwise control, and exclusive of any Pennsylvania choice of law provisions.

Sec. 10.08 Payments to Minors, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a
minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid
when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide
for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge AGP, the Board, the
Administrative Committee, the Compensation/Pension Committee and all other parties with respect
thereto.

Sec. 10.09 Lost Payees. A benefit (including accrued interest) shall be deemed
forfeited if the Board or the Administrative Committee is unable to locate a Participant to whom
payment is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a claim is made by the
proper payee for the forfeited benefit.

Sec. 10.10 Reliance on Data and Consents. AGP, the Board, the Compensation/Pension
Committee, the Administrative Committee, all fiduciaries with respect to the AGP SERP, and all
other persons or entities associated with the operation of the AGP SERP, and the provision of
benefits thereunder, may reasonably rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of all data
provided by the Participant, including, without limitation, data with respect to age, health and
marital status. Furthermore, AGP, the Board, the Compensation/Pension Committee, the
Administrative Committee and all fiduciaries with respect to the AGP SERP may reasonably rely on
all consents, elections and designations filed with the AGP SERP or those associated with the
operation of the AGP SERP by any Participant, or the representatives of any such person without
duty to inquire into the genuineness of any such consent, election or designation. None of the
aforementioned persons or entities associated with the operation of the AGP SERP or the benefits
provided under the AGP SERP shall have any duty to inquire into any such data, and all may rely on
such data being current to the date of reference, it being the duty of the Participants to advise
the appropriate parties of any change in such data.

Sec. 10.11 Taxation. The AGP SERP is intended to comply with the requirements of
section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in the AGP SERP to the contrary, allocations to
the AGP SERP shall be made consistent with section 409A, and distributions may only be made under
the AGP SERP upon an event and in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code. All payments
under the AGP SERP shall be subject to applicable tax withholding. Distributions upon termination
of employment shall only be made upon the Participant’s “separation from service” under section
409A of the Code, and in no event may a Participant designate the calendar year of a payment.
