UGI CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

BACKGROUND

The Senior Executive Retirement Plan for Certain Employees of UGI Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (the “Senior Plan”) was established effective as of January 1, 1985. Until April 10, 1992, it was maintained by UGI Utilities, Inc. (formerly named, prior to April 10, 1992, UGI Corporation and hereinafter sometimes referred to as “UGI Utilities”). On April 10, 1992, UGI Utilities became a subsidiary of New UGI Corporation which was renamed UGI Corporation (“UGI”) on the same date. As of April 10, 1992, UGI assumed sponsorship of the Senior Plan and all obligations of UGI Utilities thereunder, and amended and restated the Senior Plan to reflect the transfer of Senior Plan sponsorship. Effective October 1, 1996, the Senior Plan was amended and restated to eliminate participation by employees of AmeriGas Propane, Inc., to re-name the Senior Plan “The UGI Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan” and to make other changes. Effective January 1, 2005, the UGI Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was amended to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and was split into two subplans, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Savings Plan.

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was amended and restated to allow participants to defer their benefit under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan pursuant to the UGI Corporation 2009 Deferral Plan. The amendment and restatement of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was effective as of January 1, 2009. The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective as of November 22, 2013, except where otherwise indicated, and is hereby amended and restated effective as of April 1, 2015.

ARTICLE I

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Sec. 1.01 Purpose. The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) is maintained to provide a fair and competitive level of retirement benefits to certain management and other highly compensated employees who have, by operation of laws and regulations relating to qualified pension benefit plans, experienced a reduction in prospective retirement benefits under the Pension Plan (as defined in Article II). The benefits under the SERP are also designed to compensate terminated participants by taking into account periods of time for which payments are made under a Change in Control Agreement (as defined in Article II) or, for employees whose employment terminated on or after January 1, 2005 and before July 25, 2006, under an Executive Severance Plan (as defined in Article II).

Sec. 1.02 Grandfathered Benefits. The terms of the amended and restated SERP shall not apply to any participant whose employment terminated before January 1, 2005. Notwithstanding anything in the SERP to the contrary, the vested accrued SERP benefit of a participant whose employment terminated before January 1, 2005 shall be paid according to the terms of the UGI Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as in effect before January 1, 2005, consistent with the “grandfather” provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

ARTICLE V

BENEFITS

Sec. 5.01 Pension Benefit. Each Participant who is an active participant in the Pension Plan and who is accruing a benefit under the Pension Plan shall accrue under the SERP a lump sum benefit that is the actuarially equivalent present value of a single life annuity equal to (a) reduced by (b), where:

(a) is the annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that would have been produced under the Pension Plan if (i) the Participant’s Excess Earnings (without regard to the limitations set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code) and Deferred Earnings for each year of his active participation in the Pension Plan had been taken into account and (ii) the limitations set forth in section 415 of the Code (or its successor) were inoperative; and

(b) is the annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that the Participant is entitled to receive under the Pension Plan.

The annual accrued benefit shall be calculated as described in Section 5.06. A Participant shall be entitled to receive his or her vested accrued SERP benefit upon termination of employment as described in Article VI. Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 shall be administered so as not to result in duplication of benefits.

Sec. 5.02 Change of Control Benefit. In the event of a Change of Control, if and to the extent required by a Participant’s Change in Control Agreement, each Participant who is an active participant in the Pension Plan on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment and who is entitled to receive the benefits described in this Section 5.02 under a Change in Control Agreement shall receive a lump sum benefit that is the actuarially equivalent present value of a single life annuity equal to (a) reduced by (b), where:

(a) is the annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that the Participant would have received under the Pension Plan if the applicable Continuation Period had been taken into account in determining the Participant’s Vesting Service and Credited Service under the Pension Plan (such benefit to be determined without regard to the limitations set forth in the Code); and

(b) is the Participant’s annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that the Participant is entitled to receive under the Pension Plan.

The annual benefit shall be calculated as described in Section 5.06 as if the end of the Continuation Period were the Participant’s termination date. The annual benefit under subsection (a) above shall be calculated as if the Participant had continued in employment during the Continuation Period, earning base salary and bonus at the annual rate calculated for purposes of

- 8 -

the Change in Control Agreement. Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 shall be administered so as not to result in duplication of benefits.

Sec. 5.03 Severance Benefit. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall apply to a Participant whose employment was terminated by UGI or a Subsidiary or Affiliate on or after January 1, 2005 and before July 25, 2006, if the Participant was entitled to receive a severance benefit under an Executive Severance Plan and the Participant was an active participant in the Pension Plan on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. If required by the terms of the applicable Executive Severance Plan, each such Participant shall receive a lump sum benefit that is the actuarially equivalent present value of a single life annuity equal to (a) reduced by (b), where:

(a) is the annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that the Participant would have received under the Pension Plan if the applicable salary continuation period, as determined under the Executive Severance Plan, had been taken into account in determining the Participant’s Credited Service under the Pension Plan (such benefit to be determined without regard to the limitations set forth in the Code); and

(b) is the Participant’s annual accrued benefit, based on a single life annuity, that the Participant is entitled to receive under the Pension Plan.

The annual benefit shall be calculated as described in Section 5.06. The annual accrued benefit under subsection (a) above shall be calculated as if the Participant had continued in employment during the salary continuation period, earning base salary and bonus at the annual rate calculated for purposes of the Executive Severance Plan. Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 shall be administered so as not to result in duplication of benefits.

Sec. 5.04 Death Benefits.

(a) If a Participant has earned a vested accrued SERP benefit under Section 5.01 but the Participant dies while employed by UGI or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Participant’s surviving spouse shall be entitled to receive a lump sum death benefit that is the actuarially equivalent present value of a single life annuity equal to (i) reduced by (ii), where:

(i) is the pre-retirement death benefit that would have been paid under the Pension Plan to the Participant’s surviving spouse if (i) the Participant’s Excess Earnings (without regard to the limitations set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code) and Deferred Earnings for each year of his active participation in the Pension Plan had been taken into account and (ii) the limitations set forth in section 415 of the Code (or its successor) were inoperative; and

(ii) is the pre-retirement death benefit that the Participant’s surviving spouse is entitled to receive under the Pension Plan.

No death benefit shall be payable under this subsection (a) if the deceased Participant has no surviving spouse.

(b) If a Participant terminates from employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and meets all the requirements for eligibility for a benefit under Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03, but the Participant dies before the benefit described in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 is paid, the unpaid lump sum benefit described in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 shall be paid to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary or, if there is no designated Beneficiary, the Participant’s estate.

Sec. 5.05 Forfeiture. Each Participant shall immediately forfeit any benefit to which he or she is otherwise entitled under the SERP if the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause.

Sec. 5.06 Calculation of Annual Benefits. The annual accrued benefits described in Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03, and the lump sum present values, shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date as follows:

(a) If the Participant has attained age 65, the annual benefit shall be calculated as an annual benefit payable at the Participant’s termination date, and the lump sum present value shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date.

(b) If the Participant has attained eligibility for early retirement under the Pension Plan, the annual benefit shall be calculated as an annual benefit payable at the Participant’s termination date (or at age 55, if the Participant has not attained age 55, but is eligible for early retirement), after reduction by the Pension Plan’s actuarial reduction factors for early retirement, and the lump sum present value shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date.

(c) If the Participant has not attained age 65 or attained eligibility for early retirement under the Pension Plan, the annual benefit shall be calculated as an annual benefit payable at age 65, and the lump sum present value shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date.

(d) For purposes of this SERP, Participant is considered to be eligible for early retirement under the Pension Plan if the Participant has attained age 55 with ten Years of Vesting Service or if the Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company after the Participant has attained age 50 with 15 Years of Vesting Service.

Sec. 5.07 Actuarial Equivalent. The Compensation Committee shall approve, and may from time to time change, the methodology (including assumptions) pursuant to which an actuarially equivalent benefit is calculated under the SERP. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the methodology described in Exhibit B shall be used for calculating actuarial equivalence under the SERP. If a Change of Control occurs, the methodology used to calculate actuarial equivalence under the SERP immediately before the Change of Control shall be used to

calculate actuarial equivalence for purposes of all benefits payable under the SERP on and after the Change of Control.

ARTICLE VI

BENEFIT DISTRIBUTION

Sec. 6.01 Calculation of Distribution Amount. If a Participant’s employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates terminates without Cause, the Administrative Committee shall calculate the Participant’s vested accrued SERP benefit under Article V (or the death benefit under Section 5.04(a), in the event of death) as of the Participant’s termination date. The Administrative Committee shall calculate the lump sum present value of the vested accrued SERP benefit based on the actuarial assumptions described in Section 5.06.

Sec. 6.02 Form of Benefit Distributions.

(a) Effective January 1, 2005, a Participant’s vested accrued SERP benefit shall be paid to the Participant in the form of a lump sum payment upon the Participant’s termination of employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as described in Section 6.03 below. The vested accrued benefit of a Participant who terminated employment prior to January 1, 2005 shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the SERP as in effect before January 1, 2005.

(b) If a Participant dies, the lump sum death benefit described in Section 5.04 (if any) shall be paid within 60 days after the Participant’s death.

Sec. 6.03 Timing of Benefit Distributions.

(a) A Participant’s vested accrued SERP benefit shall be paid to the Participant within 60 days following the Participant’s termination of employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, except as described below. A Participant shall be considered to have incurred a termination of employment under the SERP when the Participant has a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code. The vested accrued SERP benefit of a Participant who terminated employment prior to January 1, 2005 shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the SERP as in effect before January 1, 2005.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant whose employment terminates after January 1, 2005 is a Key Employee and if required by section 409A of the Code, no SERP benefits shall be paid to the Participant during the Postponement Period. If payment of SERP benefits is required to be delayed for the Postponement Period pursuant to section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described below, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days after the end of the Postponement Period. If the Participant dies during the Postponement Period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described below, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the Participant’s death.

(c) The amount to be withheld on account of section 409A shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date in accordance with the provisions hereof.

- 12 -

Interest shall be calculated on the withheld lump sum amount from the Participant’s termination date to the last day of the calendar month preceding the date on which the withheld amount is paid, based on the daily average of the published six-month Treasury bill rate in effect for the month in which the Participant’s termination date occurs plus 50 basis points.

Sec. 6.04 Deferral Elections. A Participant may make a one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have the present value of the Participant’s vested SERP benefit credited to the Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan on the date of the Participant’s separation from service, in lieu of the payments described in Section 6.02. If the Participant makes a deferral election, the present value of the Participant’s vested SERP benefit 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. An election under this Section 6.04 shall be made in writing, on a form and at a time prescribed by the Administrative Committee and shall be irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary, and no further election shall be available under this SERP.

ARTICLE VII

FUNDING OF BENEFITS

Sec. 7.01 Source of Funds. The obligations of UGI and other participating employers in the Pension Plan shall constitute a general, unsecured obligation, payable solely out of their general assets, and no Participant shall have any right to any specific assets of UGI, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or any trust established by UGI or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to fund such obligations.

Sec. 7.02 Participant Contributions. There shall be no contributions made by Participants under the SERP.

Vacancies arising by the death, resignation or removal of an Administrative Committee member may be filled by the Compensation Committee.

Sec. 8.02 Meetings; Majority Rule. Any and all acts of the Administrative Committee taken at a meeting shall be by a majority of all members of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may act by vote taken in a meeting (at which a majority of members shall constitute a quorum).

Sec. 8.03 Delegation. The Administrative Committee may, by majority decision, delegate to each or any one of its number, authority to sign any documents on its behalf, or to perform ministerial acts, but no person to whom such authority is delegated shall perform any act involving the exercise of any discretion without first obtaining the concurrence of a majority of the members of the Administrative Committee, even though such person alone may sign any document required by third parties. The Administrative Committee shall elect one of its number to serve as Chairperson. The Chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the Administrative Committee or shall delegate such responsibility to another Administrative Committee member. The Administrative Committee shall elect one person to serve as Secretary to the Administrative Committee. All third parties may rely on any communication signed by the Secretary, acting as such, as an official communication from the Administrative Committee.

Sec. 8.04 Authority and Responsibility of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee shall have only such authority and responsibilities as are delegated to it by the Compensation Committee or specifically provided herein. The Administrative Committee shall have full power and express discretionary authority to administer and interpret the SERP, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules and regulations for implementing the SERP and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. The Administrative Committee’s authorities and responsibilities shall also include:

Sec. 8.06 Administrative Committee Discretion. Any discretion, actions, or interpretations to be made under the SERP by the Administrative Committee shall be made in its sole discretion, need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated individuals, and shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties. All benefits under the SERP shall be provided conditional upon the Participant’s acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance of the benefits, that all decisions and determinations of the Administrative Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under the SERP.

Sec. 8.07 Indemnification of the Committees. Each member of the Administrative Committee shall be indemnified by UGI against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlement to which UGI does not consent) reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any action to which he or she may be a party by reason of his or her service as a member of the Committee, except in relation to matters as to which he or she shall be adjudged in such action to be personally guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.

EXHIBIT B

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS

Assumptions used for calculating the lump sum payment of vested accrued SERP benefits:

1. For Participants attaining age 50 prior to January 1, 2004, with service after January 1, 2004, the lump sum payment is calculated using two interest rates. One rate is for service prior to January 1, 2004 and the other for service after January 1, 2004. The rates are determined as follows:


▪	Pre-January 1, 2004 Service. The daily average of Moody’s Aaa bond yields for the month in which the Participant’s termination date occurs, plus 50 basis points, tax-adjusted using the highest marginal Federal tax rate (35.0% for 2007).


▪	Post-January 1, 2004 Service. The daily average of 10-year Treasury Bond yields in effect for the month in which the Participant’s termination date occurs, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 or any comparable successor publication.

The 1994 GAR unisex mortality table is also used in the lump sum calculation.

2. For Participants attaining age 50 on or after January 1, 2004, the rates are determined as follows:


▪	The daily average of 10-year Treasury Bond yields in effect for the month in which the Participant’s termination date occurs, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 or any comparable successor publication.

The 1994 GAR unisex mortality table is also used in the lump sum calculation.

(b) The SSP contribution for each Participant described in subsection (a) for the Plan Year shall be calculated as:

(x) The Matching Contribution that would have been made for the Participant under the Savings Plan for the Plan Year, based on an election to contribute 6% of the Participant’s annual compensation (as determined under the Savings Plan), if (i) the Participant’s Excess Earnings (without regard to the limitations set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code) had been taken into account, (ii) the limitations set forth in section 402(g) of the Code were inoperative, and (iii) there were no cutbacks of contributions to the Savings Plans to comply with nondiscrimination tests set forth in Sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code, less

(a) If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Plan Year for any reason other than Cause, the Administrative Committee shall credit a pro rata SSP contribution to the Participant’s account for the Plan Year, if the Participant is an active participant in the Savings Plan and has contributed to the Savings Plan for the Plan Year an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the Participant’s annual compensation (as determined under the Savings Plan) or (ii) a pro-rata amount of the maximum amount permitted to be contributed under section 402(g) of the Code (without regard to any “catch up” contributions).

(b) If a Participant’s employment terminates during a Plan Year for any reason other than Cause, the Administrative Committee shall credit earnings on the terminated Participant’s SSP account from the end of the preceding Plan Year to the termination date, based on the “individual rate per annum” described in Section 5.02(b) above for the portion of the Plan Year for which earnings are credited before the termination date.

a Change in Control Agreement shall receive a credit to the Participant’s SSP account equal to the Participant’s Matching Contributions that would have been made to the Savings Plan (without regard to the statutory limits) had the Participant been eligible to participate in the Savings Plan and made employee elective deferral contributions to the Savings Plan during the Continuation Period equal to 6% of his or her annual compensation as described in the Change in Control Agreement. This benefit shall be credited to the Participant’s account as of the Participant’s termination date.

Sec. 5.05 Severance Benefit. The provisions of this Section 5.05 apply to a Participant whose employment was terminated by UGI or a Subsidiary or Affiliate on or after January 1, 2005 and before July 25, 2006, if the Participant was entitled to receive a severance benefit under an Executive Severance Plan and the Participant was an active participant in the Savings Plan on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. If required by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan, each such Participant shall receive a credit to the Participant’s SSP account equal to the Participant’s Matching Contributions that would have been made to the Savings Plan (without regard to the statutory limits) had the Participant been eligible to participate in the Savings Plan and made employee elective deferral contributions to the Savings Plan during the Participant’s salary continuation period under the Executive Severance Plan equal to 6% of his or her annual compensation (determined as of the day of his or her termination of employment). This benefit shall be credited to the Participant’s account as of the date of the Participant’s termination date.

Sec. 5.06 Death Benefits. If a Participant is entitled to receive a vested benefit under this Article V but the Participant dies before receiving his or her SSP benefit, the Participant’s vested benefit, if any, shall be paid to the Beneficiary.

Sec. 5.07 Forfeiture. Each Participant shall immediately forfeit any benefit to which he or she is otherwise entitled under the SSP if the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause.

ARTICLE VI

FORM AND TIMING OF BENEFIT DISTRIBUTION

Sec. 6.01 Form of Benefit Distributions. A Participant’s vested SSP benefits shall be paid to the Participant in the form of a lump sum payment upon the Participant’s termination of employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as described below. A Participant’s vested SSP benefits are the vested amount credited to the Participant’s account under the SSP.

Sec. 6.02 Timing of Benefit Distributions.

(a) A Participant’s vested SSP benefits shall be paid to the Participant within 60 days following the Participant’s termination of employment with UGI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, except as described below. A Participant shall be considered to have incurred a termination of employment under the SSP when the Participant has a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant whose employment terminates after January 1, 2005 is a Key Employee and if required by section 409A of the Code, no SSP benefits shall be paid to the Participant during the Postponement Period. If payment of SSP benefits is required to be delayed for the Postponement Period pursuant to section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described below, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days after the end of the Postponement Period. If the Participant dies during the Postponement Period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described below, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the Participant’s death.

(c) The amount to be withheld on account of section 409A shall be calculated as of the Participant’s termination date. Interest shall be credited on the withheld amount from the Participant’s termination date to the last day of the calendar month preceding the date on which the withheld amount is paid, based on the daily average of the published six-month Treasury bill rate in effect for the month in which the Participant’s termination date occurs plus 50 basis points.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Sec. 9.01 Amendment. The provisions of the SSP 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 accrued on behalf of a Participant as of the effective date of the amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may adopt any amendment to the SSP as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to (i) maintain compliance with current laws and regulations; (ii) correct errors and omissions in the SSP document; and (iii) facilitate the administration and operation of the SSP.

Sec. 9.02 Plan Termination. While it is UGI’s intention to continue the SSP indefinitely in operation, the right is, nevertheless, reserved to terminate the SSP in whole or in part at any time for any reason without either the consent of or prior notice to any Participant. No such termination shall reduce the benefit that has accrued on behalf of a Participant as of the effective date of the termination, but UGI may immediately distribute all accrued benefits upon termination of the SSP in accordance with section 409A of the Code.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Sec. 11.01 Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the payments, benefits or rights of any participant under the SSP shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Participant. No Participant shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the SSP, except any right to designate a Beneficiary in connection with any form of benefit payment providing benefits after the Participant’s death.

Sec. 11.02 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the SSP, 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 UGI or any other participating employer hereunder, and all Participants and other Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the SSP had never been adopted.

Sec. 11.03 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the SSP shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the SSP shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included.

Furthermore, UGI, the Board, the Compensation Committee, the Administrative Committee and all fiduciaries with respect to the SSP may reasonably rely on all consents, elections and designations filed with the SSP or those associated with the operation of the SSP by any Participant, or the representatives of any such person without duty to inquire into the genuineness of any such consent, election or designation. None of the aforementioned persons or entities associated with the operation of the SSP or the benefits provided under the SSP shall have any duty to inquire into any such data, and all may rely on such data being current to the date of reference, it being the duty of the Participants to advise the appropriate parties of any change in such data.
