WHEREAS:

By way of a private written agreement, dated June 18, 2004, as modified by an
amendment, dated December 15, 2004, UGI Bordeaux Holding, AGZ Holding, Antargaz,
Wogegal, Gaz Est Distribution, Nord GPL, Rhone Mediterranee Gaz and Aquitaine
Pyrenees Gaz entered into an Agreement intituled "Tax Consolidation Agreement
between UGI Bordeaux Holding and its Group Companies" (the "TAX CONSOLIDATION
AGREEMENT").

Pursuant to Article 1.6 of the Tax Consolidation Agreement, it is stipulated, in
particular, that for each tax year that falls within the Consolidation Period,
UGI Bordeaux Holding undertakes to retrocede to AGZ Holding an amount equal to
the tax saving that AGZ Holding would have recorded in its financial statements,
in its capacity as parent company of the AGZ Holding tax consolidation group, if

                                        2

<PAGE>

it had remained the parent company of this group and had applied the tax
consolidation agreement, in effect prior to June 18, 2004, between AGZ Holding
and its subsidiaries. It is also stipulated that payments made by UGI Bordeaux
Holding to the Company with respect to these retrocessions must be made through
the medium of a subsidy or share capital increase, from a legal perspective.

Following the refinancing of the senior debt of AGZ Holding, which occurred on
December 7, 2005, the parties to the present Amendment decided to amend the
above-mentioned provision of the Tax Consolidation Agreement so as to enable UGI
Bordeaux Holding to also make payments due to the Company, with respect to
retrocessions of tax savings, through the medium of subordinated loans.

The parties have agreed to adopt this Amendment for the purposes of amending the
Tax Consolidation Agreement.

All of the clauses of the Tax Consolidation Agreement apply, with the exception
of the Articles that are redefined or completed hereafter, the effect of which
is restricted to the scope of this Amendment.

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.   The parties agree, pursuant to this Amendment, to amend Article 1.6 of the
     Tax Consolidation Agreement as follows:

     "Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, and for the purposes of applying
     Article 20.1 of the Senior Facilities Agreement, dated December 7, 2005,
     between, in particular, AGZ Holding and Calyon (successor in the rights of
     Credit Lyonnais), as amended from time to time (the "SENIOR FACILITIES
     AGREEMENT"), the Parent Company undertakes, for each tax year that falls
     within the Consolidation Period, to retrocede to AGZ Holding an amount
     equal to the tax saving that AGZ Holding would have recorded in its
     financial statements, in its capacity as parent company of the AGZ Holding
     tax consolidation group, if it had remained the parent company of this
     group and had applied the tax integration agreement previously in effect
     between AGZ Holding and its subsidiaries. It is understood that this
     reallocation must not result in placing AGZ Holding in a less favourable or
     more favourable position than if it had remained at the head of the tax
     consolidation group. This retrocession shall be implemented as follows:

     Within fifteen (15) days following the annual approval of its financial
     statements by its shareholders' General Meeting, AGZ Holding shall (i)
     calculate the amount of accounting profit relating to the tax saving that
     would have been triggered by the application of the tax consolidation
     agreement previously in effect between AGZ Holding and its subsidiaries and
     (ii) notify this amount to the Parent Company.

     Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of this information, the Parent
     Company shall pay the said amount to AGZ Holding by bank transfer. From a
     legal point of view, this payment may be made through the medium of a
     subsidy, share capital increase or intra-group loan, at the discretion of
     the Parent Company. No interest shall be invoiced by the Parent Company to
     AGZ Holding in respect of any payment made by the Parent Company to AGZ
     Holding through the medium of a subsidy.

     In the event of payment by way of a subsidy or loan, it is stipulated under
     the terms of a letter of undertaking, signed between UGI Bordeaux Holding,
     AGZ Holding and Calyon at the date of this Amendment, that the receivable
     owed to UGI Bordeaux Holding by AGZ Holding pursuant to these subsidies or
     loans (including interest and accessory amounts) shall be subordinated to
     the full repayment of receivables of lenders under the Senior Facilities
     Agreement.

                                        3

<PAGE>

     In the event of payment by way of a subsidy or intra-group loan, the Parent
     Company and AGZ Holding agree that these amounts will not be taken into
     consideration for the calculation of taxable profit serving as the basis
     for determining the contribution due by AGZ Holding to the Parent Company.
     Furthermore, within thirty (30) days following the annual approval by the
     shareholders' General Meeting of the financial statements for the financial
     year and payment of the said subsidies or intra-group loans, AGZ Holding
     undertake to repay to the Parent Company an equal amount, subject to:

          -    AGZ being authorised to make such a prepayment under the
               conditions stipulated by the Senior Facilities Agreement, dated
               December 7, 2005;

          -    AGZ Holding not being in default with respect to the provisions
               of the Senior Facilities Agreement;

          -    AGZ Holding having the cash necessary to make this repayment
               without being required to have recourse to a loan.

     These conditions are assessed at the date of the above-mentioned repayment.

     If these condition are not fulfilled, the amount which cannot be repaid to
     the Parent Company shall be carried forward and repayable in respect of the
     following financial year, subject to the respect of the conditions set
     forth above.

     The provisions of this Article 1.6 shall cease to apply as soon as the
     amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to the Senior Facilities Agreement are
     repaid."

     This Amendment comes into effect on December 7, 2005.

     All the other terms and conditions of the Tax Consolidation Agreement
     remain unchanged.

     (b)  at the same time as the Assignor sends any Drawdown Request and on the
          first Business Day of each calendar month, an Assignment Form relating
          to all of the new Intercompany Receivables of the Assignor, which at

2.5  The Security Agent reserves the right to refuse any Assignment Form which
     does not reasonably appear to comply with the provisions of this clause 2.

2.6  Any delivery of an Assignment Form shall be construed as the legal
     transfer, by way of security interest, to the Beneficiaries of the Assigned
     Receivables identified on the relevant Assignment Form from the date set
     out thereon by the Security Agent including all principal, interest and
     related amounts of the Assigned Receivables identified on the relevant
     Assignment Form, as well of all security and guarantees, including
     retention of title clauses, relating to such Assigned Receivables.

2.7  Any acceptance by the Security Agent of an Assignment Form will result in
     the automatic renunciation by all Beneficiaries benefiting from the
     assignment resulting from the delivery of the previous Assignment Form
     relating only to Assigned Receivables, also referred to in this subsequent
     Assignment Form.

3    ASSIGNOR'S MANDATE

3.1  The Beneficiaries appoint the Assignor as agent to receive and recover the
     relevant Assigned Receivables. The Assignor recognizes as a consequence of
     such appointment that any payment, even partial, received from an Assigned
     Debtor, in any form whatsoever, as an Assigned Receivable, is only received
     by the Assignor as agent for the Beneficiaries and that amounts so received
     or recovered are the property of the Beneficiaries. The Assignor therefore
     undertakes to deliver immediately to the Security Agent on the occurrence
     of an event of default and at its first request, the payment instruments or
     the sums it will have so received, providing the Security Agent with all
     information enabling it to identify the Receivable(s) to which the relevant
     payments relate.

3.2  The mandate established by this clause 3 shall be fully revoked by the
     Security Agent sending to one or more Assigned Debtors a notice or request
     for acceptance pursuant to the terms of clause 4 (Notice- Acceptance)
     below.

4.   NOTICE - ACCEPTANCE

4.1  The Security Agent shall be entitled, at any time following the occurrence
     of an Event of Default and upon receipt of instructions from the Majority
     Lenders (Majorite des Preteurs) to give notice to one or several of the
     Assigned Debtors of the assignment of receivables in accordance with this
     Agreement and in conformity with the Dailly Law.

4.2  The Security Agent may, upon occurrence of an Event of Enforcement, request
     that one or more of the Assigned Debtors accept the assignment of
     Receivables arising under this Agreement in accordance with the Dailly Law.

5.   APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS FROM ASSIGNED RECEIVABLES

     Any sum received by the Security Agent under the Assigned Receivables shall
     be applied towards payment and repayment of amounts due and payable under
     the Secured Obligations in accordance with the conditions of the Senior
     Facilities Agreement.

                                        6

<PAGE>

                                        Translation for information purpose only

     Any sum received by the Security Agent under the Assigned Receivables which
     exceeds the sums due under the Secured Obligations will be repaid to the
     Assignor by the Security Agent.

6    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ASSIGNOR

     The Assignor represents and warrants to the Beneficiaries and to the
     Security Agent throughout the period of this Agreement:

          the competent bodies of the Assignor;

          to the benefit of anyone other than the beneficiaries.

7.   UNDERTAKINGS OF ASSIGNOR

     Throughout the Security Period, the Assignor undertakes to the
     Beneficiaries and the Security Agent:

     (a)  not to assign, create, incur or permit to subsist any pledge, charge,
          security or encumbrance of any sort over the Receivables other than

     (b)  not to modify or restrict the object or the rights relating to
          Assigned Receivables or the rights of the Beneficiaries under the
          Assigned Receivables in relation to the Assigned Debtors, other than
          that which concerns the grant of deliveries, rebates, refunds, and
          delays in agreed payments within the normal framework of its
          activities and in conformity with its normal practices and without
          prejudice to the ability of the Assignor to compromise or negotiate
          the erroneous Assigned Receivables or those which are subject to a
          good faith dispute;

     (c)  not to exercise or pursue at any time, any claim for compensation or
          any counterclaim on the Assigned Receivables;

          ensure the supervision and identification of the Assigned Receivables

          updated) referred to at Clause 4 of the Supply Agreement;

          an Event of Default, permit the Security Agent to proceed at the
          expense of the Assignor by means of an advance notice and during the
          opening hours of the Assignor's offices, with all verifications
          provided, in order to regulate the existence, nature, ownership,
          amount and date of payment of the Assigned Receivables and to regulate
          the Assignor's compliance with all of its obligations under this
          Agreement; and

     (f)  to take any action, carry out any formalities, and do anything at its
          own expense which the Security Agent may reasonably request in the
          interests of protecting the rights of the Beneficiaries under this
          Agreement or the Assignment Forms.

          Security Agent nor any of the Beneficiaries shall be responsible under
