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

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

price of $
per Share. The Option shall become exercisable according to
Paragraph 2 below.

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.
(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.
(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
