STOCK UNIT GRANT LETTER
This STOCK UNIT GRANT LETTER is dated as of January 8, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”) and delivered by UGI Corporation (“UGI”), to _______________________ (the “Participant”) (the “Grant Letter”).
RECITALS
The UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of stock units with respect to shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”). The Board of Directors of UGI (the “Board”) has decided to make a stock unit grant to the Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter, the Board hereby awards the Participant an award of 2,800 Stock Units (as defined in Section 4). The Stock Units are granted with Dividend Equivalents (as defined in Section 4).
(b) UGI shall keep records in an Account (as defined in Section 4) to reflect the number of Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant. Fractional Stock Units shall accumulate in the Participant’s Account and shall be added to other fractional Stock Units to create whole Stock Units.
2. Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Stock Units.
(a) Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. From the Date of Grant until the Participant’s Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Shares, UGI shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent associated with the Stock Units credited to the Participant on the record date for the dividend.
(b) Conversion to Stock Units. On the last day of each Plan Year (as defined in Section 4), the amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account during that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Stock Units, based on the Unit Value (as defined in Section 4) on the last day of the Plan Year. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service (as defined in Section 4) prior to the last day of the Plan Year, as soon as practicable following such event, and in no event later than the date on which Stock Units are redeemed in accordance with Section 3, UGI shall convert the amount of Dividend Equivalents previously credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan 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.

3. Events Requiring Redemption of Stock Units.
(a) Redemption. UGI shall redeem Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account at the times and in the manner prescribed by this Section 3. When Stock Units are to be redeemed, UGI will determine the Unit Value of the Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. Except as described in subsection (c) below, an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate Unit Value will be paid in the form of whole Shares (with fractional Shares paid in cash), and the remaining 35% of the aggregate Unit Value will be paid in cash.
(b) Separation from Service or Death. In the event the Participant Separates from Service or dies, UGI shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. In the event of a Separation from Service, the redemption amount shall be paid within 30 business days after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event of death, the redemption amount shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within 60 business days after the Participant’s death.
(c) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, UGI shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant’s Account. The redemption amount shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as described below). 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. However, in the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section 4), the Participant’s Stock Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value on the date of Separation from Service as determined by the Board), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Board may provide for the Stock Units to be valued 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.
(d) Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the Participant may make a one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have all of the Participant’s Stock Units credited to the Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, in lieu of the redemption and payments described in subsection (b) above. If the Participant makes a deferral election, the Participant’s Stock Units will be credited to the Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan at Separation from Service and the amount credited to the Deferral Plan shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Plan. If the Participant makes a deferral election under the Deferral Plan and a Change of Control occurs: (i) subsection (c) above shall apply if the Change of Control occurs before the Participant’s Separation from Service and (ii) the terms of the Deferral Plan shall apply if the Change of Control occurs after or simultaneously with the Participant’s Separation from Service. An election under the Deferral Plan shall be made in writing, on a form
