AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(Thousands of dollars, except per unit)


1 .
Nature of Operations

AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”) is a publicly traded limited partnership that conducts a national propane distribution business through its principal operating subsidiary AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (“AmeriGas OLP”) and prior to its merger with AmeriGas OLP on July 1, 2013 (the “Merger”), AmeriGas OLP’s principal operating subsidiary Heritage Operating, L.P. (“HOLP”). AmeriGas OLP after the Merger, and AmeriGas OLP and HOLP prior to the Merger, are referred to herein as the “Operating Partnership.” AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are Delaware limited partnerships. AmeriGas Partners, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership” or “we.”
The Operating Partnership is engaged in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies. The Operating Partnership comprises the largest retail propane distribution business in the United States serving residential, commercial, industrial, motor fuel and agricultural customers in all 50 states.
At March 31, 2014 , AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “General Partner”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation (“UGI”), held a 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and a 1.01% general partner interest in AmeriGas OLP. The General Partner and its wholly owned subsidiary Petrolane Incorporated (“Petrolane,” a predecessor company of the Partnership) also owned 23,756,882 AmeriGas Partners Common Units (“Common Units”). The remaining Common Units outstanding at March 31, 2014, comprise 69,109,914 publicly held Common Units of which 12,867,362 Common Units are held by a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) as a result of the January 12, 2012, acquisition of substantially all of ETP’s propane operations (the “Heritage Acquisition”). The Common Units represent limited partner interests in AmeriGas Partners. AmeriGas Partners holds a 98.99% limited partner interest in AmeriGas OLP. In January 2014, ETP sold 9,200,000 of the Common Units it held in an underwritten public offering, pursuant to its registration rights in its unitholder agreement. AmeriGas Partners did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Units by ETP.
AmeriGas Partners and the Operating Partnership have no employees. Employees of the General Partner conduct, direct and manage our operations. Prior to the Merger, the General Partner provided management and administrative services to Heritage Operating GP, LLC (“HOLP GP”), the general partner of HOLP, under a management services agreement. The General Partner is reimbursed monthly for all direct and indirect expenses it incurs on our behalf (see Note 5 ).

The accounts of AmeriGas Partners’ majority-owned subsidiary AmeriGas OLP are included based upon the determination that, given the Partnership’s structure, AmeriGas Partners will absorb a majority of AmeriGas OLP’s expected losses, will receive a majority of AmeriGas OLP’s expected residual returns, and is AmeriGas OLP’s primary beneficiary. AmeriGas OLP includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. We eliminate all significant intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate. We account for the General Partner’s 1.01% interest in AmeriGas OLP as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
AmeriGas Finance Corp., AP Eagle Finance Corp. and AmeriGas Finance LLC are 100% -owned finance subsidiaries of AmeriGas Partners. Their sole purpose is to serve as issuers or co-obligors for debt securities issued or guaranteed by AmeriGas Partners. The 6.75% and 7.00% Senior Notes were co-issued by AmeriGas Finance Corp. and AmeriGas Finance LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by AmeriGas Partners.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They include all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The September 30, 2013 , condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 (“Partnership’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements and Notes”). Weather significantly impacts demand for propane and profitability because many customers use propane for heating purposes. Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership’s propane business, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Allocation of Net Income Attributable to AmeriGas Partners. Net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for partners’ capital and statement of operations presentation purposes is allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages after giving effect to amounts distributed to the General Partner in excess of its 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners based on its incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) under the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AmeriGas Partners, as amended (“Partnership Agreement”).
Net Income Per Unit. Income per limited partner unit is computed in accordance with GAAP regarding the application of the two-class method for determining income per unit for master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) when IDRs are present. The two-class method requires that income per limited partner unit be calculated as if all earnings for the period were distributed and requires a separate calculation for each quarter and year-to-date period. In periods when our net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners exceeds our Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and is above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the General Partner. Generally, in periods when our Available Cash in respect of the quarter or year-to-date periods exceeds our net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an allocation of earnings to the General Partner greater than its relative ownership interest in the Partnership (or in the case of a net loss attributable to AmeriGas Partners, an allocation of such net loss to the Common Unitholders greater than their relative ownership interest in the Partnership).

Theoretical distributions of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. in accordance with the two-class method for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , resulted in an increased allocation of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. to the General Partner in the computation of income per limited partner unit which had the effect of decreasing earnings per limited partner unit by $0.79 and $0.66 , respectively. Theoretical distributions of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. in accordance with the two-class method for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , resulted in an increased allocation of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. to the General Partner in the computation of income per limited partner unit which had the effect of decreasing earnings per limited partner unit by $1.04 and $0.72 , respectively.

Potentially dilutive Common Units included in the diluted limited partner units outstanding computation reflect the effects of restricted Common Unit awards granted under the General Partner’s incentive compensation plans.
Comprehensive Income . Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income principally results from gains and losses on derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, net of reclassifications to net income. For information regarding the amounts and line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations associated with reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), see Note 8.
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.

3 .      Accounting Changes

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Disclosures about Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership adopted new accounting guidance regarding disclosures for items reclassified out of AOCI. The disclosures required by the new accounting guidance are included in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The new disclosures are applied prospectively. As this guidance only affects disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership adopted new accounting guidance requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information about recognized derivative instruments that are offset on the balance sheet as a result of an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. The new disclosures are applied retroactively for all periods presented. The required disclosures are included in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As this guidance only affects disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and, prior to the Merger, a management services agreement among HOLP GP, HOLP and the General Partner, the General Partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on our behalf. These costs, which totaled $155,414 and $150,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, and $299,950 and $290,502 for six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, include employee compensation and benefit expenses of employees of the General Partner and general and administrative expenses.
UGI provides certain financial and administrative services to the General Partner. UGI bills the General Partner monthly for all direct and indirect corporate expenses incurred in connection with providing these services and the General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for these expenses. The allocation of indirect UGI corporate expenses to the Partnership utilizes a weighted, three-component formula based on the relative percentage of the Partnership’s revenues, operating expenses and net assets employed to the total of such items for all UGI operating subsidiaries for which general and administrative services are provided. The General Partner believes that this allocation method is reasonable and equitable to the Partnership. Such corporate expenses totaled $7,463 and $6,864 , during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $10,957 and $10,756 during the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, UGI and certain of its subsidiaries provide office space, stop loss medical coverage and automobile liability insurance to the Partnership. The costs related to these items totaled $1,084 and $1,062 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, and $2,215 and $2,626 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
From time to time, AmeriGas OLP purchases propane on an as needed basis from UGI Energy Services, Inc. (“Energy Services”). In addition, the Partnership sells propane to Energy Services and certain other affiliates of UGI. Such amounts were not material during the periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

Federal Trade Commission Investigation of Propane Grill Cylinder Filling Practices. On or about November 4, 2011, the General Partner received notice that the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) had initiated an antitrust and consumer protection investigation into certain practices of the Partnership which relate to the filling of portable propane cylinders. On February 2, 2012, the Partnership received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC that requested documents and information concerning, among other things, (i) the Partnership’s decision, in 2008, to reduce the volume of propane in cylinders it sells to consumers from 17 pounds to 15 pounds, and (ii) cross-filling, related service arrangements and communications regarding the foregoing with competitors. The Partnership responded to that subpoena and cooperated with subsequent requests for information. On March 27, 2014, the FTC issued an administrative complaint against the Partnership and UGI alleging that the General Partner and one of its competitors colluded in 2008 to persuade its joint customer, Walmart Stores, Inc., to accept the cylinder fill reduction from 17 pounds to 15 pounds.  The complaint does not seek monetary remedies.  The Partnership and UGI filed their Answer to the complaint on April 18, 2014 and believe that they have good defenses to the FTC’s claims.  We are unable to reasonably estimate the impact, if any, arising from this claim.  
 
In addition to the matter described above, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of our businesses. Although we cannot predict the final results of these pending claims and legal actions, we believe, after consultation with counsel, that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The fair values of our non-exchange traded commodity derivative contracts included in Level 2 are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators. For commodity option contracts not traded on an exchange, we use a Black Scholes option pricing model that considers time value and volatility of the underlying commodity.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (except for current maturities of long-term debt) approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. At March 31, 2014 , the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) were $2,296,039 and $2,482,558 , respectively. At March 31, 2013 , the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including

current maturities) were $2,320,381 and $2,504,903 , respectively. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt by using current market prices and by discounting future cash flows using rates available for similar type debt (Level 2).
We have financial instruments such as short-term investments and trade accounts receivable which could expose us to concentrations of credit risk. We limit our credit risk from short-term investments by investing only in investment-grade commercial paper and U.S. Government securities. The credit risk from trade accounts receivable is limited because we have a large customer base which extends across many different U.S. markets.

Disclosures about Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net by counterparty on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right of offset exists. Our derivative financial instruments principally comprise propane over-the-counter swap and option contracts. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Certain over-the-counter contracts contain contractual rights of offset through master netting arrangements and contract default provisions. In addition, contracts may be subject to conditional rights of offset through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency, or other conditions.
In general, most of our over-the-counter transactions are subject to collateral requirements. Any cash collateral paid by us to our derivative counterparties is reflected in the table below to offset derivative liabilities. Any cash collateral received by us from our counterparties is reflected in the table below to offset derivative assets. Certain other accounts receivable and accounts payable balances recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with our derivative counterparties are not included in the tables below but would reduce our net exposure to such counterparties because they are subject to master netting or similar arrangements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership is exposed to certain market risks related to its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, among other things, to manage these risks. The primary risk currently managed by derivative instruments is commodity price risk for propane. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The use of derivative instruments is controlled by our risk management and credit policies which govern, among other things, the derivative instruments the Partnership can use, counterparty credit limits and contract authorization limits. Because a substantial portion of our derivative instruments generally qualify as hedges under GAAP, we expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to manage commodity or interest rate market risk would be substantially offset by gains or losses on the associated anticipated transactions.

Commodity Price Risk
In order to manage market risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs, which permit customers to lock in the prices they pay for propane principally during the months of October through March, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments, principally price swap and option contracts. At March 31, 2014 and 2013 , there were 110.0 million gallons and 121.3 million gallons, respectively, of propane hedged with over-the-counter price swap and option contracts. At March 31, 2014 , the maximum period over which we are hedging propane market price risk is 18 months with a weighted average of 7 months. In addition, the Partnership from time to time enters into price swap and option agreements to reduce short-term commodity price volatility which are generally not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
During the periods presented in the financial statements, we accounted for a significant portion of our commodity price risk contracts as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting are recorded in AOCI and noncontrolling interest, to the extent effective in offsetting changes in the underlying commodity price risk, until earnings are affected by the hedged item. At March 31, 2014 , the amount of net gains associated with commodity price risk hedges expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months based upon current fair values is $11,448 .
Derivative Financial Instruments Credit Risk
The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial and commodity instruments. Our counterparties principally consist of major energy companies and major U.S. financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Partnership in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. We have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments held by certain derivative financial instrument counterparties. Although we have concentrations of credit risk, the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that we would incur if these counterparties comprising the concentration failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at March 31, 2014 , based upon the fair values of such derivative instruments. Certain of our derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in the Partnership’s debt rating. At March 31, 2014 , if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

The amounts of derivative gains or losses representing ineffectiveness were not material for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 .

We are also a party to a number of contracts that have elements of a derivative instrument. These contracts include, among others, binding purchase orders and contracts which provide for the purchase and delivery of propane and service contracts that require the counterparty to provide commodity storage or transportation service to meet our normal sales commitments. Although many of these contracts have the requisite elements of a derivative instrument, these contracts qualify for normal purchase and normal sales exception accounting under GAAP because they provide for the delivery of products or services in quantities that are expected to be used in the normal course of operating our business and the price in the contract is based on an underlying that is directly associated with the price of the product or service being purchased or sold.

Error in Accounting for Certain Customer Credits

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership identified an error in its accounting for certain customer credits. The Partnership determined that the recording of propane revenues did not appropriately consider the effects of certain customer credits which were recorded when issued in a subsequent period. As a result, the Partnership changed its accounting for customer credits to record an estimate of such credits at the time propane revenues are recorded. Such estimate considers the Partnership’s history of providing credits, propane revenue activity and other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Partnership evaluated the impact of the error on prior periods and determined that the effect was not material to the financial statements for the three or six months ended March 31, 2013, or any prior period financial statement and recorded the cumulative effect of the error in accounting for customer credits as of January 1, 2013, which decreased accounts receivable and propane revenues by $7,038 and decreased net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, by $6,967 .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements use forward-looking words such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or other similar words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, we caution you that actual results almost always vary from assumed facts or bases, and the differences between actual results and assumed facts or bases can be material, depending on the circumstances. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the following important factors which could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements: (1) adverse weather conditions resulting in reduced demand; (2) cost volatility and availability of propane, and the capacity to transport propane to our customers; (3) the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; (4) successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses, and achievement of anticipated synergies; (5) changes in laws and regulations, including safety, tax, consumer protection and accounting matters; (6) competitive pressures from the same and alternative energy sources; (7) failure to acquire new customers and retain current customers thereby reducing or limiting any increase in revenues; (8) liability for environmental claims; (9) increased customer conservation measures due to high energy prices and improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand; (10) adverse labor relations; (11) large customer, counter-party or supplier defaults; (12) liability in excess of insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage arising from explosions and other catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism, resulting from operating hazards and risks incidental to transporting, storing and distributing propane, butane and ammonia; (13) political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States and foreign countries; (14) capital market conditions, including reduced access to capital markets and interest rate fluctuations; (15) changes in commodity market prices resulting in significantly higher cash collateral requirements; (16) the impact of pending and future legal proceedings; and (17) the timing and success of our acquisitions and investments to grow our business.
These factors, and those factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in (i) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 , are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information or future events except as required by the federal securities laws.

Executive Overview
During the 2014 three-month period, average temperatures were significantly colder than the prior-year period. Most of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains experienced significantly colder than normal winter weather.  As a result of this colder than normal winter weather, an increase in propane exports and a record volume of propane sales during the fall 2013 crop drying season which reduced propane inventories entering the winter peak heating season, the retail propane industry experienced significant logistical and infrastructure challenges caused by industry-wide storage and transportation issues principally during January and February 2014.  The logistical challenges resulted in supply shortages in certain regions of the United States and also led to significant increases in wholesale propane supply costs at a number of major supply hubs. 
Net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2014 three-month period was $240.1 million compared with net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners of $213.2 million for the 2013 three-month period. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days were approximately 8.1% colder than normal and 9.7% colder than the prior-year three-month period. Most of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains experienced significantly colder than normal winter weather while temperatures in the western U.S. were warmer than normal. The higher net income in the current year primarily reflects modestly higher retail unit margins and the colder weather’s impact on retail propane volumes sold. The beneficial effects of the colder weather on retail volumes sold were muted, however, by wholesale supply challenges in certain regions of the U.S. caused by industry-wide storage and transportation issues exacerbated by prolonged periods of unusually cold weather. In order to assure that customers in these regions were adequately supplied, the Partnership instituted supply allocation measures which limited total retail volumes sold and increased distribution costs per gallon. Our attention on ensuring adequate supply of propane to retail customers during these periods of short supply also reduced income from ancillary sales and services. Notwithstanding expense synergies achieved from the completion of the Heritage Propane integration in Fiscal 2013, operating and administrative expenses were modestly higher in the current-year period reflecting, among other things, the higher distribution costs and higher uncollectible accounts expense. Results for the 2013 three-month period include $5.4 million of transition costs associated with Heritage Propane.
Net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2014 six-month period was $375.0 million compared with net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners of $309.9 million for the 2013 six-month period. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days during the 2014 six-month period were approximately 6.2% colder than normal and 11.5% colder than the prior-year six-month period. The higher net income primarily reflects modestly higher average retail unit margins and the colder weather’s impact on retail propane volumes sold partially offset by the impact on retail volumes sold of supply allocation measures instituted by the Partnership in certain regions experiencing supply constraints. Operating and administrative expenses were slightly higher in the current-year period reflecting, among other things, the previously mentioned higher distribution expenses and higher uncollectible accounts expense partially offset by the full benefits from the integration of Heritage Propane completed in Fiscal 2013. Results for the 2013 six-month period include $10.9 million of transition costs associated with Heritage Propane.

(a)
Total margin represents total revenues less cost of sales – propane and cost of sales – other.
(b)
Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners (as an indicator of operating performance) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes EBITDA is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to (1) compare the Partnership’s operating performance with that of other companies within the propane industry and (2) assess the Partnership’s ability to meet loan covenants. The Partnership’s definition of EBITDA may be different from those used by other companies. Management uses EBITDA to compare year-over-year profitability of the business without regard to capital structure as well as to compare the relative performance of the Partnership to that of other master limited partnerships without regard to their financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis. In view of the omission of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from EBITDA, management also assesses the profitability of the business by comparing net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the relevant years. Management also uses EBITDA to assess the Partnership’s profitability because its parent, UGI Corporation, uses the Partnership’s EBITDA to assess the profitability of the Partnership which is one of UGI Corporation’s reportable segments. UGI Corporation discloses the Partnership’s EBITDA in its disclosure about reportable segments as the profitability measure for its domestic propane segment. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013, includes transition expenses of $5.4 million associated with the integration of Heritage Propane.

Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 based upon national weather statistics provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) for 335 airports in the United States, excluding Alaska.

Retail gallons sold in the 2014 three-month period increased 2.3% from the 2013 three-month period. The increase in retail gallons sold reflects average temperatures based upon heating degree days that were 8.1% colder than normal and 9.7% colder than the prior-year period. Most of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains experienced significantly colder than normal winter weather while temperatures in the western U.S. were warmer than normal. The beneficial effects of the colder weather on retail volumes sold, however, were muted by supply challenges in certain regions of the U.S. caused by industry-wide storage and transportation issues exacerbated by prolonged periods of unusually cold weather. In order to ensure that customers in these regions were adequately supplied during these periods of cold weather, the Partnership instituted supply allocation measures which limited total retail volumes sold and increased distribution costs per gallon. The Partnership’s attention on assuring adequate supply of propane to retail customers during these periods of short supply reduced income from ancillary sales and services.
Retail propane revenues increased $308.5 million during the 2014 three-month period reflecting the effects of higher average retail selling prices ($284.6 million), largely the result of higher propane product costs, and the higher retail volumes sold ($23.9 million). Wholesale propane revenues increased $14.5 million during the 2014 three-month period reflecting the effects of higher wholesale selling prices ($18.4 million) partially offset by the effects of lower wholesale volumes sold ($3.9 million). Average daily wholesale propane commodity prices during the 2014 three-month period at Mont Belvieu, Texas, one of the major supply points in the U.S., were approximately 51% higher than such prices during the prior-year three-month period. In addition, certain regions of the U.S. experienced an even greater increase in wholesale commodity prices due to supply constraints caused by industry-wide storage and transportation issues exacerbated by the unusually cold weather conditions. Total revenues from fee income and other ancillary sales and services in the 2014 three-month period were slightly lower than in the 2013 three-month period. Total cost of sales during the 2014 three-month period increased $273.1 million principally reflecting the effects of the higher average propane product costs ($246.4 million) and, to a lesser extent, the effects of the greater retail volumes sold ($12.5 million).

AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.


Total margin increased $44.3 million in the 2014 three-month period principally reflecting higher retail propane total margin ($49.6 million) partially offset by lower margin from ancillary sales and services. The increase in retail propane total margin reflects modestly higher average retail propane unit margins and the increase in retail volumes sold.
EBITDA in the 2014 three-month period increased $27.6 million principally reflecting the higher total margin ($44.3 million) partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses ($16.0 million). The increase in operating and administrative expenses reflects in large part higher distribution-related expenses associated with the higher retail volumes sold as well as higher distribution costs caused by the supply shortages in certain regions of the U.S. and greater uncollectible accounts expense. These higher distribution-related expenses were partially offset by synergies from the integration of Heritage Propane which was completed in Fiscal 2013. Operating and administrative expenses in the prior-year three-month period include $5.4 million of transition expenses associated with the integration of Heritage Propane. Operating income increased $27.4 million in the 2014 three-month period principally reflecting the higher total margin ($44.3 million) partially offset by the higher operating and administrative expenses ($16.0 million).

Deviation from average heating degree days for the 30-year period 1971-2000 based upon national weather statistics provided by NOAA for 335 airports in the United States, excluding Alaska.

Retail gallons sold in the 2014 six-month period increased 4.2% compared with the 2013 six-month period. The increase in retail gallons sold reflects average temperatures based upon heating degree days that were 6.2% colder than normal and 11.5% colder than the prior-year period principally reflecting significantly colder weather in the eastern half of the United States. The effects of the colder weather, however, were muted by supply challenges in certain regions of the U.S. experienced during the winter heating season caused by prolonged periods of unusually cold weather. In order to ensure that customers in these regions were adequately supplied during these extreme weather conditions, the Partnership instituted supply allocation measures which limited total retail volumes sold and increased distribution costs per gallon.
Retail propane revenues increased $456.9 million during the 2014 six-month period reflecting the effects of higher average retail selling prices ($381.0 million), largely the result of higher propane product costs, and the higher retail volumes sold ($75.9 million). Wholesale propane revenues increased $39.3 million during the 2014 six-month period reflecting the effects of higher wholesale selling prices ($31.4 million) and higher wholesale volumes sold ($7.9 million). Average daily wholesale propane commodity prices during the 2014 six-month period at Mont Belvieu, Texas, one of the major supply points in the U.S., were approximately 43% higher than such prices during the prior-year six-month period. In addition, certain regions of the U.S. experienced an even greater increase in wholesale commodity prices due to supply constraints caused by industry-wide storage and transportation issues exacerbated by the unusually cold weather conditions. Total revenues from fee income and other ancillary sales and services in the 2014 six-month period were lower than in the 2013 six-month period. Total cost of sales during the 2014 six-month period increased $403.7 million principally reflecting the effects of the higher average propane product costs ($358.6 million) and, to a lesser extent, the effects of the greater retail and wholesale volumes sold ($47.4 million).
Total margin increased $82.9 million in the 2014 six-month period principally reflecting higher retail propane total margin ($89.0 million) partially offset by lower margin from ancillary sales and services. The increase in retail propane total margin reflects modestly higher average retail propane unit margins and the increase in retail volumes sold.
EBITDA in the 2014 six-month period increased $70.1 million principally reflecting the higher total margin ($82.9 million) partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses ($10.1 million). The increase in operating and administrative expenses reflects, among other things, higher distribution-related expenses associated with the higher retail volumes sold, higher distribution costs caused by the supply challenges in certain regions of the U.S. during the second quarter of Fiscal 2014, and higher uncollectible accounts and general insurance expenses. These increases were partially offset by expense synergies from the integration of Heritage Propane completed in Fiscal 2013. Operating and administrative expenses in the prior-year six-month period include $10.9 million of transition expenses associated with the integration of Heritage Propane. Operating income increased $67.2 million in the 2014 six-month period principally reflecting the higher total margin ($82.9 million) partially offset by the slightly higher operating and administrative expenses ($10.1 million).
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Financial Condition
The Partnership’s debt outstanding at March 31, 2014 , totaled $2,494.0 million (including current maturities of long-term debt of $9.8 million and bank loans of $198.0 million ). The Partnership’s debt outstanding at September 30, 2013 , totaled $2,417.0 million (including current maturities of long-term debt of $12.0 million and bank loans of $116.9 million). Total long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2014 , including current maturities, comprises $2,250.8 million of AmeriGas Partners’ Senior Notes and $45.2 million of other long-term debt.
AmeriGas OLP’s short-term borrowing needs are seasonal and are typically greatest during the fall and winter heating-season months due to the need to fund higher levels of working capital. AmeriGas OLP has a $525 million unsecured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which expires October 2016.

Table of Contents
AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.


At March 31, 2014 , there were $198.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement which are classified as bank loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Issued and outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, which reduce the amount available for borrowings, totaled $64.7 million at March 31, 2014 . The average daily and peak bank loan borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement during the 2014 six-month period were $203.4 million and $320 million , respectively. The average daily and peak bank loan borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement during the 2013 six-month period were $118.1 million and $200.5 million , respectively. At March 31, 2014 , the Partnership’s available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $262.3 million .
The Partnership’s management believes that the Partnership has sufficient liquidity in the forms of cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and bank loan borrowings available under the AmeriGas Credit Agreement to meet its anticipated contractual and projected cash commitments.

On April 28, 2014, the General Partner’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly distribution of $0.88 per Common Unit, equal to an annual rate of $3.52. This distribution is a 4.8% increase from the previous quarterly rate of $0.84 per Common Unit. The new quarterly rate is effective with the distribution payable on May 19, 2014, to unitholders of record on May 9, 2014. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Partnership declared and paid quarterly distributions on all limited partner units at a rate of $0.84 per Common Unit for the quarters ended December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013.

The ability of the Partnership to declare and pay the quarterly distribution on its Common Units in the future depends upon a number of factors. These factors include (1) the level of Partnership earnings; (2) the cash needs of the Partnership's operations (including cash needed for maintaining and increasing operating capacity); (3) changes in operating working capital; and (4) the Partnership’s ability to borrow under its Credit Agreement, refinance maturing debt, and increase its long-term debt. Some of these factors are affected by conditions beyond the Partnership’s control including weather, competition in markets we serve, the cost of propane and changes in capital market conditions.
Cash Flows
Operating activities . Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership’s business, cash flows from operating activities are generally strongest during the second and third fiscal quarters when customers pay for propane consumed during the heating season months. Conversely, operating cash flows are generally at their lowest levels during the first and fourth fiscal quarters when the Partnership’s investment in working capital, principally accounts receivable and inventories, is generally greatest. The Partnership may use its Credit Agreement to satisfy its seasonal operating cash flow needs.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $ 167.3 million  in the 2014 six-month period compared to $ 215.2 million in the 2013 six -month period. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating working capital was $511.1 million in the 2014 six-month period compared with $422.5 million in the prior-year period largely reflecting the beneficial impact of colder weather on our operating results. Cash used to fund changes in operating working capital was $343.8 million in the 2014 six-month period compared to cash used to fund changes in working capital of $207.4 million in the 2013 six -month period. The increase in cash used to fund changes in working capital in the 2014 six-month period largely reflects greater cash needed to fund increased 2014 six-month period sales of propane, principally changes in accounts receivable and inventories.
Investing activities. Investing activity cash flow is principally affected by investments in property, plant and equipment, cash paid for acquisitions of businesses and proceeds from sales of assets. Cash flow used in investing activities was $ 46.4 million in the 2014 six-month period compared with $ 51.2 million in the prior-year period. The Partnership spent $ 51.0 million for property, plant and equipment (comprising $30.4 million of maintenance capital expenditures and $20.6 million of growth capital expenditures) in the 2014 six-month period compared with $ 54.4 million (comprising $21.3 million of maintenance capital expenditures, $11.0 million of of capital expenditures associated with Heritage Propane integration activities and $22.1 million of growth capital expenditures) in the 2013 six -month period.
 
Financing activities. The Partnership’s financing activities cash flows are typically the result of repayments and issuances of long-term debt, borrowings under the Credit Agreement, issuances of Common Units and distributions on partnership interests. Cash used by financing activities was $ 95.0 million in the 2014 six-month period compared with cash used of $ 100.9 million in the prior-year period. Distributions in the 2014 six-month period totaled $ 168.5 million compared with $ 158.6 million in the prior-year period principally reflecting the impact of higher quarterly per-unit distribution rates.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposures currently comprise commodity prices for propane. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
The risk associated with fluctuations in the prices the Partnership pays for propane is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and demand for propane and other energy commodities. The Partnership’s profitability is sensitive to changes in propane supply costs and the Partnership generally passes on increases in such costs to customers. The Partnership may not, however, always be able to pass through product cost increases fully or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of the Partnership’s propane market price risk, we use contracts for the forward purchase or sale of propane, propane fixed-price supply agreements, and over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments including price swap and option contracts. Over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments utilized by the Partnership to hedge forecasted purchases of propane are generally settled at expiration of the contract. These derivative financial instruments contain collateral provisions. The fair value of unsettled commodity price risk sensitive instruments at March 31, 2014 , was a gain of $ 9.1 million . A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the market price of propane would result in a decrease in such fair value of approximately $ 11.6 million .
Because the Partnership’s propane derivative instruments generally qualify as hedges under GAAP, we expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to manage propane market price risk would be substantially offset by gains or losses on the associated anticipated transactions.
Derivative Financial Instruments Credit Risk
The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial and commodity instruments. Our counterparties principally consist of major energy companies and major U.S. financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Partnership in the form of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Federal Trade Commission Investigation of Propane Grill Cylinder Filling Practices. On or about November 4, 2011, the General Partner received notice that the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) had initiated an antitrust and consumer protection investigation into certain practices of the Partnership which relate to the filling of portable propane cylinders. On February 2, 2012, the Partnership received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC that requested documents and information concerning, among other things, (i) the Partnership’s decision, in 2008, to reduce the volume of propane in cylinders it sells to consumers from 17 pounds to 15 pounds, and (ii) cross-filling, related service arrangements and communications regarding the foregoing with competitors. The Partnership responded to that subpoena and cooperated with subsequent requests for information. On March 27, 2014, the FTC issued an administrative complaint against the Partnership and UGI alleging that the General Partner and one of its competitors colluded in 2008 to persuade its joint customer, Walmart Stores, Inc., to accept the cylinder fill reduction from 17 pounds to 15 pounds.  The complaint does not seek monetary remedies.  The Partnership and UGI filed their Answer to the complaint on April 18, 2014 and believe that they have good defenses to the FTC’s claims.    

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information presented in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 , and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing the Partnership. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results.

EXHIBIT 10.1

Employee Performance Unit Grant (Alerian)

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated January 1, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the “My Awards” tab for the Participant in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).

1





2.      Performance Goals .
(a)      The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period, and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2016. The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. The Total Unit Holder Return (“TUR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.” All payments described in this Section 2 with respect to the Performance Units are subject to the Participant’s continued service or employment through December 31, 2016, except as provided in Section 3 or 6.
(b)      The Target Award level of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents will be payable if APLP’s TUR equals the median TUR of the comparison group described below (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period.
(i)      The Peer Group consists of those master limited partnerships that are in the Alerian MLP Index as in effect as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A (the “Alerian MLP Index”). If a company is added to the Alerian MLP Index during the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Alerian MLP Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (c) below. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:
APLP’s TUR Rank
(Percentile)
     Percentage of Target Award Earned
90th        200%
75th        162.5%
60th        125%
50th        100%
40th         70%
25th         25%
less than 25th     0%
The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(ii)      TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013) and the

2





calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the three-year Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(iii)      The Target Award is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(iv)      At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met and the amount to be paid with respect to the Performance Units. Except as described in Sections 3 and 6 below, the Participant must be employed by, or providing services to, the Company or its Affiliates on December 31, 2016 in order for the Participant to receive payment with respect to the Performance Units.
3.      Termination of Employment or Service .
(a)      Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, 2016, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)      If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after the end of the Performance Period, based on achievement of the Performance Goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years during the Performance Period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)      In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated amount shall be paid after the end of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 4, except as provided in Section 6.
4.      Payment with Respect to Performance Units . If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the

3





number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units .
(a)      Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)      While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account. The Distribution Equivalents shall be payable if and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are payable, as described in subsection (c) below.
(c)      The target amount of Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if APLP’s TUR rank is at the 50th TUR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of Distribution Equivalents if APLP’s TUR rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the schedule in Section 2 above. Except as described in Section 3(b) above or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, 2016, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.
(d)      Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
6.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(i)      The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date),” and the TUR ending date calculation for the

4





Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date.
(ii)      The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date, as determined by the Committee. The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(iii)      The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017.
(d)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below.
(e)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)      If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs before the end of the Performance Period, the prorated amount described in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control

5





Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 13 below.
7.      Definitions . For purposes of this Grant Letter, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:
(a)      Employed by, or provide service to, the Company or its Affiliates ” shall mean employment or service as an employee or director of the Company or its Affiliates. The Participant shall not be considered to have a termination of employment or service under this Grant Letter until the Participant is no longer employed by, or performing services for, the Company.
(b)      Good Reason Termination ” shall mean a termination of employment or service initiated by the Participant upon or after a Change of Control upon one or more of the following events:

EXHIBIT 10.2
Employee Performance Unit Grant (Propane)


AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER 1  
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated January 1, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the “My Awards” tab for the Participant in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant as described in this grant letter (the “Grant Letter”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).






2.      Performance Goals .
(a)      Conditions to Payment . The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period (as described below), and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2016. All payments described in this Section 2 with respect to the Performance Units are subject to the Participant’s continued service or employment through December 31, 2016, except as provided in Section 3 or 6.
(b)      Performance Period and Performance Goals . The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016; provided that if an “Adjustment Event” (as defined below) occurs, the Performance Period shall be the applicable period described in subsection (d) below. The Total Unit Holder Return (“TUR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.” The Performance Goals based on the Peer MLPs (as defined below) are referred to as the “Peer MLP Performance Goals,” and the Performance Goals based on the Alerian Index (as described below) are referred to as the “Alerian Index Performance Goals.”
(c)      Peer MLP Performance Goals . Unless subsection (d) applies, if APLP has the highest TUR for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016 as compared to the TUR of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (collectively the “Peer MLPs”), 150% of the Target Award level of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents will be payable at the end of the Performance Period ending December 31, 2016. Unless subsection (d) applies, if APLP does not have the highest TUR for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016 as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, no Performance Units shall be payable.
(d)      Adjustment Events .
(i)      Adjustment Event on or before December 31, 2014 . If one of the Peer MLPs ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity, as determined consistent with the methodology described in subsection (e) below, or declares bankruptcy (each, an “Adjustment Event”) at any time on or before December 31, 2014, performance shall not be based on the Peer MLP Performance Goals. Instead, the amount of Performance Units that will become payable for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016, if any, shall be based solely on achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals, as set forth in subsection (f) below .
(ii)      Adjustment Event on or after January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 . If an Adjustment Event occurs at any time from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015:
(x)    The amount of Performance Units that will become payable, if any, with respect to 50% of the Target Award (the “Alerian Target Award”) shall be based on achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals, as set forth in subsection






(f) below, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016, and
(y)     The remaining 50% of the Target Award (the “MLP Target Award”) shall be payable at 150% of the MLP Target Award if APLP has the highest TUR, as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. If APLP does not have the highest TUR as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs for the Performance Period described in this clause (y), no Performance Units related to the MLP Target Award shall be payable.
(iii)      Adjustment Event on or after January 1, 2016 . If an Adjustment Event occurs at any time from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, 150% of the Target Award level of Performance Units will be payable if APLP has the highest TUR, as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. If APLP does not have the highest TUR as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs for such Performance Period, no Performance Units shall be payable.
(e)      Calculation of TUR for Peer MLP Performance Goals . For purposes of calculating TUR for the Peer MLP Performance Goals, TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013). If TUR is measured as of December 31, 2016, the price used for determining TUR at the end of the Performance Period ending December 31, 2016 will be the average price for the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016). If TUR is measured as of the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of an Adjustment Event, the price used for determining TUR at the end of such Performance Period will be the average price for the 90 calendar day period ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the applicable Performance Period, as if such dividends had been reinvested.
(f)      Alerian Index Performance Goals . If an Adjustment Event occurs as described in subsection (d)(i) or (ii) above, the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable, will be payable if APLP’s TUR equals the median TUR of the Alerian Index comparison group described below (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period measured from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, as set forth below.
(i)      For purposes of calculations under this subsection (f), the Peer Group consists of those master limited partnerships that are in the Alerian MLP Index as in effect as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A (the “Alerian MLP Index”). If a company is added to the Alerian MLP Index during






the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Alerian MLP Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (ii) below. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award or the Alerian Target Award, as applicable, or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:

APLP’s TUR Rank (Percentile)                                     90th
75th
60th
50th
40th
25th

less than 25th
Percentage of Target Award or Alerian Target Award Earned          200%
162.5%
125%
100%
70%
25%
0%



The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(ii)      For purposes of calculating TUR for the Alerian Index Performance Goals under this subsection (f), TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(iii)      The Target Award, or the Alerian Target Award, as applicable, is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. Under this subsection (f), the Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable, if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(g)      Certification by the Committee . At the end of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met, if applicable, and the amount to be paid with respect to the Performance Units.






3.      Termination of Employment or Service .
(a)      Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, 2016, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)      If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after December 31, 2016, based on achievement of the Performance Goals for the applicable Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)      In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated amount shall be paid between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017 pursuant to Section 4, except as provided in Section 6.
4.      Payment with Respect to Performance Units . If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units .
(a)      Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)      While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of






Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account. The Distribution Equivalents shall be payable if and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are payable, as described in subsections (c) and (d) below.
(c)      With respect to the Distribution Equivalents related to Performance Units payable with respect to the Peer MLP Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d) (the “MLP Distribution Equivalents”), 150% of the target amount of MLP Distribution Equivalents (150% of the MLP Distribution Equivalents added to the Participant’s account) will be earned if the Performance Units related to such MLP Distribution Equivalents are earned pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d).
(d)      With respect to Distribution Equivalents related to Performance Units payable with respect to the Alerian Index Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(f) (the “Alerian Distribution Equivalents”), the target amount of Alerian Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Alerian Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if APLP’s TUR rank is at the 50th TUR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of such Alerian Distribution Equivalents if APLP’s TUR rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the schedule in Section 2(f).
(e)      Except as described in Section 3(b) above or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, 2016, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.
(f)      Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
6.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs on or before December 31, 2016, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(iv)      The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), and the TUR ending date calculation for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date, except as provided in subsection (ii)(3) below with respect to a Performance Period that has ended before the Change of Control Date.
(v)      The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” as follows:






(1)      If no Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2, the Change of Control Amount shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date.
(2)      If an Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or (ii), the Change of Control Amount with respect to the Performance Units that are based on the Alerian Index Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or (ii) shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable to such Performance Units or (ii) the amount of such Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date.
(3)      If an Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) or (iii), and an amount (150% or zero, as applicable) has been calculated based on achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals as of the end of the applicable Performance Period pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) or (iii), the Change of Control Amount with respect to the Performance Units that are based on the Peer MLP Performance Goals shall be the amount, if any, previously calculated based on achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals.
(vi)      The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(vii)      The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017.






(d)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below.
(e)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)      If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs on or before December 31, 2016, the prorated amount described in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 13 below.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of Phantom Units (“Phantom Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and approved by common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Phantom Unit is a Phantom Unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”); and
WHEREAS, the Board has decided to grant Phantom Units to the Participant on the terms described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Phantom Units .
(a)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter, the Board hereby awards the Participant an award of 1,100 Phantom Units (as defined in Section 4). The Phantom Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in Section 4).
(b)      The Company shall keep records in an Account (as defined in Section 4) to reflect the number of Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant. Fractional Phantom Units shall accumulate in the Participant’s Account and shall be added to other fractional Phantom Units to create whole Phantom Units.
2.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Phantom Units .
(a)      Crediting of Distribution Equivalents . From the Date of Grant until the Participant’s Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalent associated with the Phantom Units credited to the Participant on the record date for the distribution.





(b)      Conversion to Phantom Units . On the last day of each Plan Year (as defined in Section 4), the amount of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account during that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Phantom 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 Phantom Units are redeemed in accordance with Section 3, the Company shall convert the amount of Distribution Equivalents previously credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year to a number of Phantom Units based on the Unit Value on the date of such Change of Control, death or Separation from Service.
3.      Events Requiring Redemption of Phantom Units .
(a)      Redemption . The Company shall redeem Phantom Units credited to the Participant’s Account at the times and in the manner prescribed by this Section 3. When Phantom Units are to be redeemed, the Company will determine the Unit Value of the Phantom 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 Common Units (with fractional Common Units 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, the Company shall redeem all the Phantom 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, the Company shall redeem all the Phantom 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 Phantom 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 Phantom Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value on the date of Separation from Service or death 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 Phantom 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

2




Phantom 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 Phantom 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 and at a time prescribed by the committee that administers the Deferral Plan and shall be irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary.

Sec. 7.02      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). The Administrative Committee may also act by unanimous consent in writing without the formality of convening a meeting.
Sec. 7.03      Delegation . The Administrative Committee may, by majority decision, delegate to each or any one of its members, 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 members 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. 7.04      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/Pension Committee or specifically under this AGP SERP. The Administrative Committee shall have full power and express discretionary authority to administer and interpret the AGP SERP, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules and regulations for implementing the AGP 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:

(f)      arrangement for bonding, if required by law; and
(g)      promulgation of procedures for determination of claims for benefits.

viii




Sec. 7.05      Compensation of Administrative Committee Members . The members of the Administrative Committee shall serve without compensation for their services as such, but all expenses of the Administrative Committee shall be paid or reimbursed by AGP.
Sec. 7.06      Committee Discretion . Any discretion, actions or interpretations to be made under the AGP SERP by the Administrative Committee or by the Compensation/Pension Committee on behalf of AGP shall be made in its sole discretion, not acting in a fiduciary capacity, need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated individuals, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties. All benefits under the AGP 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 AGP SERP.
Sec. 7.07      Indemnification of the Committees . Each member of the Administrative Committee and each member of the Compensation/Pension Committee shall be indemnified by AGP against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlement to which AGP does not consent) reasonably incurred by the member in connection with any action to which the member may be a party by reason of the member’s service on the applicable Committee, except in relation to matters as to which the member shall be adjudged in such action to be personally guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the member’s duties. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the Administrative Committee member or the Compensation/Pension Committee member may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, but shall not extend to costs, expenses and/or liabilities otherwise covered by insurance or that would be so covered by any insurance then in force if such insurance contained a waiver of subrogation. Rights granted hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnification to which the Administrative Committee member or the Compensation/Pension Committee member may be entitled pursuant to the by-laws of AGP. Service on the Administrative Committee or the Compensation/Pension Committee shall be deemed in partial fulfillment of the applicable Committee member’s function as an employee, officer, or director of AGP, if the Committee member also serves in that capacity.
ARTICLE VIII     

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Sec. 8.01      Amendment . The provisions of the AGP SERP may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Compensation/Pension 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 AGP SERP as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to (i) maintain compliance with current laws and regulations; (ii) correct errors and omissions in the AGP SERP document; and (iii) facilitate the administration and operation of the AGP SERP.

ix




Sec. 8.02      AGP SERP Termination . While it is AGP’s intention to continue the AGP SERP indefinitely in operation, the right is, nevertheless, reserved to terminate the AGP SERP 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 AGP may immediately distribute all accrued benefits upon termination of the AGP SERP in accordance with section 409A of the Code.

a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control;
a material diminution in the Participant’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control; or
(i) a material change in the geographic location at which the Participant must perform services (which, for purposes of this Grant Letter, means the Participant is required to report, other than on a temporary basis (less than 12 months), to a location which is more than 50 miles from the Participant’s principal place of business immediately before the Change of Control, without the Participant’s express written consent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be considered to have a Good Reason Termination only if the Participant provides written notice to the Company, pursuant to Section 15, specifying in reasonable detail the events or conditions upon which the Participant is basing such Good Reason Termination and the Participant provides such notice

2




within 90 days after the event that gives rise to the Good Reason Termination.

Payment shall be made within 30 business days after the date on which the Phantom Units become vested under Section 2 or 3(b), as applicable, and in no event later than March 15, 2015.

3




account. Vested Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying vested Phantom Units are paid.
7.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control occurs, the Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 7. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs before the Vesting Date, the Committee shall determine whether the Phantom Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Phantom Units as of the date of the Change of Control and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the date of the Change of Control and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant continues in employment or service through the Vesting Date, the Phantom Units (subject to subsection (b)) shall vest on the Vesting Date and shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Vesting Date, and in no event later than March 15, 2015.

(e)      Except as provided in subsection (d) or Section 3(b), if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company or its Affiliates before the Vesting Date, the Phantom Units (subject to subsection (b)) shall be forfeited.
8.      Withholding . All payments under this Grant Letter are subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any federal (including FICA), state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the

4




payments under this Grant Letter. The Company may withhold from cash distributions to cover required tax withholding, or may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum applicable tax withholding amount.
9.      Grant Subject to Plan Provisions and Company Policies .
(a)      This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant and payment of Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the Common Units, (ii) adjustments pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Plan and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
(b)      This Phantom Unit grant and all Common Units issued pursuant to this Phantom Unit grant shall be subject to the UGI Corporation Stock Ownership Policy as adopted by the Board of Directors of UGI Corporation or the Company and any applicable clawback and other policies implemented by the Board of Directors of UGI Corporation or the Company, as in effect from time to time.
10.      No Employment or Other Rights . The grant of Phantom Units shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Participant’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.
11.      No Unitholder Rights . Neither the Participant, nor any person entitled to exercise the Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a Unitholder with respect to the Common Units related to the Phantom Units, unless and until certificates for the Common Units have been issued to the Participant or successor.
12.      Assignment and Transfers . The rights and interests of the Participant under this Grant Letter may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Participant dies, any payments to be made under this Grant Letter after the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates.
13.      Compliance with Code Section 409A . Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Grant Letter is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an exception, and shall be administered accordingly. Any reference to a Participant’s termination of employment shall mean a Participant’s “separation from service,” as such term is defined under section 409A. For purposes of section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Grant Letter shall be treated as a separate

5




payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Grant Letter to the contrary, if the Participant is a “key employee” under section 409A and if payment of any amount under this Grant Letter is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to section 409A, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by section 409A and shall be paid within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Participant dies during such six-month period, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Participant’s death.

EXHIBIT 10.7

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER
This AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER (the “Grant Letter”), dated February 24 , 2014 (the “Effective Date”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to R. Paul Grady (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described in a grant letter dated January 1, 2013 (the “Date of Grant”) between the Participant and the Company (the “Prior Grant Letter”); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant hereby agree to amend and restate the Prior Grant Letter as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, on the Date of Grant, the Committee granted to the Participant a target award of 5,200 Performance Units (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units were contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units were granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).
2.      Performance Goals .
(a)      The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period, and if the Participant


1




continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2015. The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2015. The Total Unit Holder Return (“TUR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.”
(b)      The Target Award level of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents will be payable if APLP’s TUR equals the median TUR of the comparison group designated by the Committee (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period. The Peer Group consists of those master limited partnerships that are in the Alerian MLP Index as in effect as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A (the “Alerian MLP Index”). If a company is added to the Alerian MLP Index during the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Alerian MLP Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (c) below. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award, or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:
APLP’s TUR Rank
(Percentile)
     Percentage of Target Award Earned
90th        200%
75th        162.5%
60th        125%
50th        100%
40th         70%
25th         25%
less than 25th     0%
The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(c)      TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2012) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2015), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the three-year Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(d)      The Target Award is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(e)      At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met and the amount to be paid with respect to


2




the Performance Units. Except as described in Sections 3 and 6 below, the Participant must be employed by, or providing services to, the Company or its Affiliates on December 31, 2015 in order for the Participant to receive payment with respect to the Performance Units.
3.      Termination of Employment or Service .
(a)      Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, 2015, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)      If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, in each case on or after January 1, 2015 but before December 31, 2015, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after the end of the Performance Period, based on achievement of the Performance Goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years during the Performance Period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)      In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, on or after January 1, 2015, the prorated amount shall be paid after the end of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 4, except as provided in Section 6.
4.      Payment with Respect to Performance Units . If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, 2016 and March 15, 2016, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units .
(a)      Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.


3




(b)      While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account.
(c)      The target amount of Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if APLP’s TUR rank is at the 50th TUR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of Distribution Equivalents if APLP’s TUR rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the schedule in Section 2 above. Except as described in Section 3(b) above or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, 2015, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.
(d)      Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
6.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(i)      The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date),” and the TUR ending date calculation for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date.
(ii)      The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date, as determined by the Committee. The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(iii)      The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units,


4




or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, 2015, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, 2016 and March 15, 2016.
(d)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2015, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below.
(e)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2015, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, 2016 and March 15, 2016, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)      If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs before the end of the Performance Period, the prorated amount described in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 13 below.
7.      Definitions . For purposes of this Grant Letter, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

Within 30 days after notice has been provided, the Company shall have the opportunity, but shall have no obligation, to cure such events or conditions that give rise to the Good Reason Termination. If the Company does not cure such events or conditions within the 30-day period, the Participant may terminate employment or service with the Company based on Good Reason Termination within 30 days after the expiration of the cure period.

EXHIBIT 10.8
Performance Unit Grant (Alerian)

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated January 1, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the “My Awards” tab for the Participant in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).


1




2.      Performance Goals .
(a)      The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period, and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2016. The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. The Total Unit Holder Return (“TUR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.” All payments described in this Section 2 with respect to the Performance Units are subject to the Participant’s continued service or employment through December 31, 2016, except as provided in Section 3 or 6.
(b)      The Target Award level of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents will be payable if APLP’s TUR equals the median TUR of the comparison group described below (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period. The Peer Group consists of those master limited partnerships that are in the Alerian MLP Index as in effect as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A (the “Alerian MLP Index”). If a company is added to the Alerian MLP Index during the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Alerian MLP Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (c) below. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award, or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:
APLP’s TUR Rank
(Percentile)
     Percentage of Target Award Earned
90th        200%
75th        162.5%
60th        125%
50th        100%
40th         70%
25th         25%
less than 25th     0%
The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(c)      TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the three-year Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.


2




(d)      The Target Award is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(e)      At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met and the amount to be paid with respect to the Performance Units. Except as described in Sections 3 and 6 below, the Participant must be employed by, or providing services to, the Company or its Affiliates on December 31, 2016 in order for the Participant to receive payment with respect to the Performance Units.
3.      Termination of Employment or Service .
(a)      Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, 2016, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)      If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, in each case on or after January 1, 2015 but before December 31, 2016, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after the end of the Performance Period, based on achievement of the Performance Goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years during the Performance Period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)      In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, on or after January 1, 2015, the prorated amount shall be paid after the end of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 4, except as provided in Section 6.
4.      Payment with Respect to Performance Units . If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units .


3




(a)      Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)      While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account. The Distribution Equivalents shall be payable if and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are payable, as described in subsection (c) below.
(c)      The target amount of Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if APLP’s TUR rank is at the 50th TUR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of Distribution Equivalents if APLP’s TUR rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the schedule in Section 2 above. Except as described in Section 3(b) above or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, 2016, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.
(d)      Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
6.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(i)      The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date),” and the TUR ending date calculation for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date.
(ii)      The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the


4




Change of Control Date, as determined by the Committee. The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(iii)      The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017.
(d)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below.
(e)      If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)      If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability, in each case on or after January 1, 2015 but before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs before the end of the Performance Period, the prorated amount described in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 13 below.

EXHIBIT 10.9
Performance Unit Grant (Propane)

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER 1  
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated January 1, 2014 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the “My Awards” tab for the Participant in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant as described in this grant letter (the “Grant Letter”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).






2.      Performance Goals .
(a)      Conditions to Payment . The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period (as described below), and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2016. All payments described in this Section 2 with respect to the Performance Units are subject to the Participant’s continued service or employment through December 31, 2016, except as provided in Section 3 or 6.
(b)      Performance Period and Performance Goals . The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016; provided that if an “Adjustment Event” (as defined below) occurs, the Performance Period shall be the applicable period described in subsection (d) below. The Total Unit Holder Return (“TUR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.” The Performance Goals based on the Peer MLPs (as defined below) are referred to as the “Peer MLP Performance Goals,” and the Performance Goals based on the Alerian Index (as described below) are referred to as the “Alerian Index Performance Goals.”
(c)      Peer MLP Performance Goals . Unless subsection (d) applies, if APLP has the highest TUR for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016 as compared to the TUR of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (collectively the “Peer MLPs”), 150% of the Target Award level of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents will be payable at the end of the Performance Period ending December 31, 2016. Unless subsection (d) applies, if APLP does not have the highest TUR for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016 as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, no Performance Units shall be payable.
(d)      Adjustment Events .
(i)      Adjustment Event on or before December 31, 2014 . If one of the Peer MLPs ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity, as determined consistent with the methodology described in subsection (e) below, or declares bankruptcy (each, an “Adjustment Event”) at any time on or before December 31, 2014, performance shall not be based on the Peer MLP Performance Goals. Instead, the amount of Performance Units that will become payable for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016, if any, shall be based solely on achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals, as set forth in subsection (f) below .
(ii)      Adjustment Event on or after January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 . If an Adjustment Event occurs at any time from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015:
(x)    The amount of Performance Units that will become payable, if any, with respect to 50% of the Target Award (the “Alerian Target Award”) shall be based on achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals, as set forth in






subsection (f) below, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016, and
(y)    The remaining 50% of the Target Award (the “MLP Target Award”) shall be payable at 150% of the MLP Target Award if APLP has the highest TUR, as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. If APLP does not have the highest TUR as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs for the Performance Period described in this clause (y), no Performance Units related to the MLP Target Award shall be payable.
(iii)      Adjustment Event on or after January 1, 2016 . If an Adjustment Event occurs at any time from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, 150% of the Target Award level of Performance Units will be payable if APLP has the highest TUR, as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs, for the Performance Period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. If APLP does not have the highest TUR as compared to the TUR of the Peer MLPs for such Performance Period, no Performance Units shall be payable.
(e)      Calculation of TUR for Peer MLP Performance Goals . For purposes of calculating TUR for the Peer MLP Performance Goals, TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013). If TUR is measured as of December 31, 2016, the price used for determining TUR at the end of the Performance Period ending December 31, 2016 will be the average price for the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016). If TUR is measured as of the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of an Adjustment Event, the price used for determining TUR at the end of such Performance Period will be the average price for the 90 calendar day period ending on the day immediately prior to the first public announcement of the Adjustment Event. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the applicable Performance Period, as if such dividends had been reinvested.
(f)      Alerian Index Performance Goals . If an Adjustment Event occurs as described in subsection (d)(i) or (ii) above, the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable, will be payable if APLP’s TUR equals the median TUR of the Alerian Index comparison group described below (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period measured from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, as set forth below.
(i)      For purposes of calculations under this subsection (f), the Peer Group consists of those master limited partnerships that are in the Alerian MLP Index as in effect as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A (the “Alerian MLP Index”). If a company is added to the Alerian MLP Index during






the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Alerian MLP Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (ii) below. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award or the Alerian Target Award, as applicable, or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:

APLP’s TUR Rank (Percentile)                                                     90th
75th
60th
50th
40th
25th
less than 25th
Percentage of Target Award or Alerian Target Award Earned                             200%
162.5%
125%
100%
70%
25%
0%



The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(ii)      For purposes of calculating TUR for the Alerian Index Performance Goals under this subsection (f), TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2016), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(iii)      The Target Award, or the Alerian Target Award, as applicable, is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. Under this subsection (f), the Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable, if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(g)      Certification by the Committee . At the end of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met, if applicable, and the amount to be paid with respect to the Performance Units.






3.      Termination of Employment or Service .
(a)      Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, 2016, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)      If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, in each case on or after January 1, 2015 but before December 31, 2016, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after December 31, 2016, based on achievement of the Performance Goals for the applicable Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)      In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, on or after January 1, 2015, the prorated amount shall be paid between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017 pursuant to Section 4, except as provided in Section 6.
4.      Payment with Respect to Performance Units . If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.      Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units .
(a)      Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)      While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s






account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account. The Distribution Equivalents shall be payable if and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are payable, as described in subsections (c) and (d) below.
(c)      With respect to the Distribution Equivalents related to Performance Units payable with respect to the Peer MLP Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d) (the “MLP Distribution Equivalents”), 150% of the target amount of MLP Distribution Equivalents (150% of the MLP Distribution Equivalents added to the Participant’s account) will be earned if the Performance Units related to such MLP Distribution Equivalents are earned pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d).
(d)      With respect to Distribution Equivalents related to Performance Units payable with respect to the Alerian Index Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(f) (the “Alerian Distribution Equivalents”), the target amount of Alerian Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Alerian Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if APLP’s TUR rank is at the 50th TUR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of such Alerian Distribution Equivalents if APLP’s TUR rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the schedule in Section 2(f).
(e)      Except as described in Section 3(b) above or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, 2016, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.
(f)      Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
6.      Change of Control .
(a)      If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)      If a Change of Control occurs on or before December 31, 2016, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(iv)      The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), and the TUR ending date calculation for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date, except as provided in subsection (ii)(3) below with respect to a Performance Period that has ended before the Change of Control Date.






(v)      The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” as follows:
(1)      If no Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2, the Change of Control Amount shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date.
(2)      If an Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or (ii), the Change of Control Amount with respect to the Performance Units that are based on the Alerian Index Performance Goals pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or (ii) shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award or Alerian Target Award, as applicable to such Performance Units or (ii) the amount of such Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Alerian Index Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date.
(3)      If an Adjustment Event has occurred before the Change of Control Date pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) or (iii), and an amount (150% or zero, as applicable) has been calculated based on achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals as of the end of the applicable Performance Period pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) or (iii), the Change of Control Amount with respect to the Performance Units that are based on the Peer MLP Performance Goals shall be the amount, if any, previously calculated based on achievement of the Peer MLP Performance Goals.
(vi)      The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(vii)      The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017.






(d)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below.
(e)      If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, 2016, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 13 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)      If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability, in each case on or after January 1, 2015 but before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs on or before December 31, 2016, the prorated amount described in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 13 below.

The grant and payment of Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the Common Units, (ii) adjustments pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Plan and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.






(b)      This Performance Unit grant and all Common Units issued pursuant to this Performance Unit grant shall be subject to the UGI Corporation Stock Ownership Policy as adopted by the Board of Directors of UGI Corporation or the Company and any applicable clawback and other policies implemented by the Board of Directors of UGI Corporation or the Company, as in effect from time to time.
10.      No Employment or Other Rights . The grant of Performance Units shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.
11.      No Unit Holder Rights . Neither the Participant, nor any person entitled to receive payment in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a Unitholder with respect to the Common Units related to the Performance Units, unless and until Common Units have been distributed to the Participant or successor.
12.      Assignment and Transfers . The rights and interests of the Participant under this Grant Letter may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Participant dies, any payments to be made under this Grant Letter after the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and Affiliates.
13.      Compliance with Code Section 409A . Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Grant Letter is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an exception, and shall be administered accordingly. Any reference to a Participant’s termination of employment shall mean a Participant’s “separation from service,” as such term is defined under section 409A. For purposes of section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Grant Letter shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Grant Letter to the contrary, if the Participant is a “key employee” under section 409A and if payment of any amount under this Grant Letter is required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to section 409A, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by section 409A and shall be paid within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Participant dies during such six-month period, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything in this Grant Letter to the contrary, if a Change of Control is not a “change in control event” under section 409A, any Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents that are payable pursuant to Section 6 shall be paid to the Participant between January 1, 2017 and March 15, 2017, and not upon the earlier separation from service, if required by section 409A.
14.      Applicable Law . The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Grant Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.






15.      Notice . Any notice to the Company provided for in this Grant Letter shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s headquarters, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address shown on the payroll of the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate to the Company in writing. Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
16.      Acknowledgement . By accepting this grant through the Morgan Stanley on-line system, the Participant (i) acknowledges receipt of the Plan incorporated herein, (ii) acknowledges that he or she has read the Grant Summary and Grant Letter and understands the terms and conditions of them, (iii) accepts the Performance Units described in the Grant Letter, (iv) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the Grant Letter, and (v) agrees that all the decisions and determinations of the Board or the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant and any other person having or claiming a right under this grant.










1     The performance units awarded pursuant to this grant letter are included in the total number of performance units disclosed for Mr. Grady in his Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 4 dated January 1, 2014, and filed on January 3, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the 2014 fiscal year, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Company's Board of Directors included a second long-term performance metric for performance units granted under the Plan based on the Company's total return compared to two of its most comparable competitors in the retail propane business. This metric applies to approximately 45% of the performance units awarded under the Plan on January 1, 2014. The performance metric relative to the remainder of the performance units awarded January 1, 2014 is based on the Company's performance relative to the companies comprising the Alerian MLP Index.
