UGI CORPORATION
2004 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT LETTER

This STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated January 1, 2009 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI Corporation (“UGI”) to                      (the “Participant”).

RECITALS

The UGI Corporation 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of UGI. The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to make a stock option grant to the Participant.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.  Grant of Option . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase                      shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”) at an exercise price of $                      per Share. The Option shall become exercisable according to Paragraph 2 below.

2.  Exercisability of Option . The Option shall become exercisable on the following dates, if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company (as defined below) on the applicable date:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shares for Which the

 

Date

 

Option is Exercisable

 

January 1, 2010

 

 

33 1 / 3

%

January 1, 2011

 

 

33 1 / 3

%

January 1, 2012

 

 

33 1 / 3

%

The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Shares subject to the Option. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Shares, the number of Shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

 

 


 

3.  Term of Option .

(a) The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at the expiration of that period (5:00 p.m. EST on December 31, 2018), unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Grant Letter or the Plan.

(b) If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, the Option will terminate on the date the Participant ceases such employment or service. However, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of (i) Termination Without Cause (as defined below), (ii) Retirement (as defined below), (iii) Disability (as defined below), or (iv) death, the Option held by the Participant will thereafter be exercisable pursuant to the following terms:

(i) Termination Without Cause . If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of a Termination without Cause, the Option will thereafter be exercisable only with respect to that number of Shares with respect to which the Option is already exercisable on the date the Participant’s employment or service terminates. Such portion of the Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company.

(ii) Retirement . If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date of such Retirement. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.

(iii) Disability . If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Disability, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date of such termination of employment or service. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.

(iv) Death . In the event of the death of the Participant while employed by, or providing service to, the Company, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 12-month period following the Participant’s death. Death of the Participant after the Participant has ceased to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company will not affect the otherwise applicable period for exercise of the Option determined pursuant to subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) above. After the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Option may be exercised by the Participant’s estate.

4.  Exercise Procedures .

(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Participant may exercise part or all of the exercisable Option by giving UGI irrevocable written notice of intent to exercise on a form provided by UGI and delivered in the manner provided in Section 13 below. Payment of the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes must be made prior to issuance of the Shares. The Participant shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering Shares (or by attestation to ownership of Shares), which shall be valued at their fair market value on the date of delivery, which shall have been held by the Participant for at least six months, and which shall have a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Committee and permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by such other method as the Committee may approve. The Committee may impose such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares to exercise the Option.

(b) The obligation of UGI to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as UGI’s counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations. UGI may require that the Participant (or other person exercising the Option after the Participant’s death) represent that the Participant is purchasing Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares, or such other representation as UGI deems appropriate.

(c) All obligations of UGI under this Grant Letter shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.

(b) “ Disability ” means a long-term disability as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Participant.

(c)  “Employed by, or provide service to, the Company” shall mean employment or service as an employee or director of the Company.
