BACKGROUND
UGI Corporation currently maintains the UGI Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“UGI SERP”) and the UGI Corporation 2009 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“2009 UGI SERP) (collectively, the “UGI Plans”), and the UGI Corporation 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, and 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (collectively, with any predecessor equity plans, the “Equity Plan”). AmeriGas Propane Inc. currently maintains the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“AmeriGas SERP”), and the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“2010 AmeriGas LTIP”). UGI Corporation grants stock units to non-employee directors under the Equity Plan, and AmeriGas Propane, Inc. grants phantom units to non-employee directors under the 2010 AmeriGas LTIP.
UGI Corporation and AmeriGas Propane, Inc. desire to allow employees who are participants in the UGI Plans or the AmeriGas SERP, and non-employee directors who hold stock units or phantom units, to defer benefits under the UGI Plans, AmeriGas SERP, stock units or phantom units after separation from service. UGI Corporation and AmeriGas Propane, Inc. have adopted this amended and restated Plan to allow such deferral of benefits. Non-employee directors of the AmeriGas Board are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the date on which the APLP unitholders approved the 2010 AmeriGas LTIP. The Compensation Committee amended the Plan effective February 1, 2017 (the “Freeze Date”) to freeze the Plan with respect to Employees, so that, on or after the Freeze Date, only Employees who previously elected to participate in the Plan may be Plan participants. The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective June 15, 2017 to incorporate the closure of the Plan with respect to Employees and to make certain other administrative changes to the Plan.
All shares of UGI Corporation common stock that are to be distributed pursuant to stock units deferred under this Plan shall be issued under the applicable Equity Plan and shall in all respects be subject to the terms of the applicable Equity Plan. All common units of APLP that are to be distributed pursuant to phantom units deferred under this Plan shall be issued under the 2010 AmeriGas LTIP and shall in all respect be subject to the terms of the 2010 AmeriGas LTIP.

(b) If a Participant dies before or after Separation from Service, the Participant’s benefit under the AmeriGas SERP, the 2009 UGI SERP, the Participant’s Stock Units or Phantom Units, as applicable, will be paid to his or her Beneficiary in the form and at the time designated by the Participant under Section 3.3.
4.3 | Re-Deferral Elections. |
Subject to the timing requirements described below, a Participant may change his or her elections regarding the time and form of distribution (a “Re-Deferral Election”), as follows:
(a) A Participant who has previously elected to receive his or her distribution in the form of a lump sum (or whose distribution is payable in a lump sum by operation of the Plan) may elect to re-defer all or any part of that scheduled distribution to a later date pursuant to subsection (b) below. A Participant who has previously elected to receive his or her distribution in the form of installments may elect to re-defer the entire distribution amount to a later date, provided that the election must be made pursuant to subsection (b) below before the installment payments begin.
9
(b) Any Re-Deferral Election (i) will be irrevocable when made, (ii) may not accelerate the payment (in the case of installments, the Re-Deferral Election may not accelerate the first scheduled payment), (iii) will not be effective as to any payment scheduled to be made within 12 months of the Re-Deferral Election and (iv) must defer the first payment to which the Re-Deferral Election applies for at least five additional years. All Re-Deferral Elections must be made in accordance with section 409A of the Code.
(c) No Re-Deferral Election may be made by a Participant who Separates from Service before the Participant has attained age 55 and has completed 10 years of service with the Employer. No Re-Deferral Election may be made after a Participant’s death. No Re-Deferral Election may be made after the tenth anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
(d) In addition, in no event may a Participant make a Re-Deferral Election unless the Participant’s Retirement Distribution Account to be re-deferred is at least $25,000 at the time of the election.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to reject any new Re-Deferral Election, in which case the applicable Account will be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s deferral election or Re-Deferral Election then in effect.
(f) A Participant’s Re-Deferral Election must be made in writing and filed with the Company’s Corporate Secretary.

All references in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 to payment dates and forms under Section 3.3 shall be deemed to include any applicable Re-Deferral Elections.
4.4 | Change of Control. |
(a) The following provisions apply in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary:
(i) A Change of Control will not affect the form and timing of distribution of the benefits under the UGI Plans and the AmeriGas SERP that are deferred under this Plan.
(ii) In the event of a Change of Control that is a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, the Company shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant’s Account and the redemption amount shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control. The amount paid shall equal the product of the number of Stock Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit Value at the date of the Change of Control.
10
(iii) In the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Stock Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash within 30 business days after the Participant’s Separation from Service date, instead of upon the Change of Control. (For example, an acquisition by any person of 20% or more of the voting power of the Company’s stock may be a Change of Control under the Equity Plan, whereas the section 409A definition requires that the person acquire 30% of the voting power of the stock). If the Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code and the Participant Separated from Service before the Change of Control, the Participant’s Stock Units shall be paid in cash at the applicable date specified in Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. If payment is delayed after the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (iii), the Compensation Committee may provide for the Stock Units to be valued at the Unit Value as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
(b) The following provisions apply in the event of an AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary:
(i) In the event of an AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control that is a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, APLP shall redeem all the Phantom Units then credited to the Participant’s Account and the redemption amount shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control. The amount paid shall equal the product of the number of Phantom Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit Value at the date of the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control.
(ii) In the event that the transaction constituting an AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Phantom Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash within 30 business days after the Participant’s Separation from Service date, instead of upon the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control. If the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code and the Participant Separated from Service before the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control, the Participant’s Phantom Units shall be paid in cash at the applicable date specified in Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. If payment is delayed after the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control, pursuant to this subsection (ii), the Compensation Committee may provide for the Phantom Units to be valued at the Unit Value as of the date of the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the AmeriGas LTIP Change of Control date and the payment date.
4.5 | Medium of Payment. All distributions under the Plan shall be made in cash, except that (i) distributions of Stock Units (including Dividend Equivalents) shall be made 65% in Company common stock issued under the Equity Plan and 35% in cash, or as otherwise specified under the applicable Stock Unit Agreement or under Section 4.4, |
11
and (ii) distributions of Phantom Units (including Distribution Equivalents) shall be made 65% in Common Units issued under the 2010 AmeriGas LTIP and 35% in cash, or as otherwise specified under the applicable Phantom Unit Grant Letter or under Section 4.4.
4.6 | Section 409A Six-Month Delay. |
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, distributions upon a Separation from Service to a Participant who is a Key Employee shall not be made during the Participant’s Postponement Period. If payment is required to be delayed for the Postponement Period pursuant to section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of section 409A shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days of the Postponement Period. If the Participant dies during the Postponement Period prior to the distribution of the Participant’s Retirement Distribution Account, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the Participant’s death.
ARTICLE 5

5.1 | The balance credited to a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested at all times. |
ARTICLE 6
Funding
6.1 | The Board may, but shall not be required to, authorize the establishment of a rabbi trust for the benefits described herein. In any event, the Company’s obligation hereunder shall constitute a general, unsecured obligation, payable solely out of its general assets, and no Participant shall have any right to any specific assets of the Company or any such vehicle. |
ARTICLE 7
Investments
7.1 | After a Participant’s Separation from Service, amounts credited to the Plan from the UGI Plans, AmeriGas SERP, Stock Units or Phantom Units shall be credited with earnings and losses as follows: |
(a) Amounts credited to a Participant’s Retirement Distribution Account from the UGI Plans or the AmeriGas SERP that are to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) shall be deemed to be invested in investment funds according to procedures established by the Administrative Committee. The Participant may select the
12
investment funds from among the funds made available by the Administrative Committee. If a Participant does not select the investment funds, the amounts credited for the Participant shall be deemed invested in a target retirement fund selected by the Administrative Committee.
(b) Stock Units that are credited to the Plan and are to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) shall continue to be held in the form of Stock Units. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account with respect to Stock Units when dividends are paid on Company common stock, in an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent associated with the Stock Units held by the Participant on the record date for the dividend. On the last day of each calendar year, the amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account during that calendar year shall be converted to a number of Stock Units, based on the Unit Value on the last day of that calendar year. In the event of a Change of Control or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service prior to the last day of a calendar year, as soon as practicable following such event, and in no event later than the date on which Stock Units are distributed, the Company shall convert the amount of Dividend Equivalents previously credited to the Participant’s Account during the calendar year to a number of Stock Units based on the Unit Value on the date of such Change of Control, death or Separation from Service, as applicable.
(c) Phantom Units that are credited to the Plan and are to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) shall continue to be held in the form of Phantom Units. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account with respect to Phantom Units when distributions are paid on Common Units, in an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalent associated with the Phantom Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution.

ARTICLE 10
Amendment
10.1 | The provisions of the Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Compensation Committee for any reason without either the consent of or prior notice to any Participant; provided, however, that no such amendment shall serve to reduce the benefit that has been credited to an Account on behalf of a Participant as of the effective date of the amendment.

18
12.3 | No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, 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 the Company or any other participating employer hereunder, and all Participants and other Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted. |
12.4 | Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. |

12.10 | Reliance on Data and Consents. The Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee, the Administrative Committee and all other persons or entities associated with the operation of the Plan, and the provision of benefits thereunder, may reasonably rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of all data provided by the |
19
Participant, including, without limitation, data with respect to age, health and marital status. Furthermore, the Company, the Board, the Compensation Committee and the Administrative Committee may reasonably rely on all consents, elections and designations filed with the Plan or those associated with the operation of the Plan by any Participant, or the representatives of any such person without duty to inquire into the genuineness of any such consent, election or designation.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, distributions may only be made under the Plan upon an event and in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment, except as permitted by section 409A of the Code.
(b) If a Participant is subject to tax under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) on his or her Account before distributions are to be made under the Plan, a distribution may be made under the Plan to pay the FICA tax imposed under section 3101 of the Code, section 3121(a) of the Code, and section 3121(v)(2) of the Code, or to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA amount, and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding section 3401 of the Code wages and taxes.
