AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Originator, severally and for itself, agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase from the Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

(a) each Receivable of the Originator that existed and was owing to the Originator at the closing of the Originator’s business on December 3, 2001 (the “Cut-off Date”) other than Receivables contributed pursuant to Section 3.1 (the “Contributed Receivables”);

(b) each Receivable generated by the Originator from and including the Cut-off Date to and including the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (other than any Receivable later contributed pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3.1);

(d) all monies due or to become due to the Originator with respect to any of the foregoing;

(e) all books and records of the Originator related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest of the Originator in each lock-box and related lock-box address and account to which Collections are sent, all amounts on deposit therein, all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such accounts and amounts on deposit therein, and all related agreements between the Originator and each Lock-Box Bank; and

PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

(a) Receivables purchased by the Company from the Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b) Receivables purchased by the Company from the Originator during the period commencing on, and including, the Settlement Date immediately preceding such Settlement Date to (but not including) such Settlement Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to the Originator (or in the case of Contributed Receivables, the amount to be recognized as a capital contribution) for the Receivables that are hereunder purchased from or contributed by, as the case may be, the Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originator is open for business.

“Prime Rate” means a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or if such information ceases to be published in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion.

(a) On the Closing Date, UGI shall, and hereby does, irrevocably and absolutely contribute to the capital of the Company Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of UGI that existed and was owing to UGI on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all such Contributed Receivables shall be not less than $4,000,000. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, UGI shall not be prevented from contributing Receivables to the Company from time to time. Contributions made in connection with the immediately preceding sentence (i) shall have no effect on the aggregate Purchase Price of any Receivables sold by UGI to the Company on the date of such contribution and (ii) shall not affect the aggregate outstanding balance of any Company Note.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from the Originator on the Closing Date partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Company and the Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and partially by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to the Originator with an initial principal balance equal to the remaining Purchase Price (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Company Note”).

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by the Originator on such Payment Date and sold to the Company hereunder:

(a) First, in cash to the extent the Company has cash available therefor; and

(b) Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Company Note shall be increased by an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price.

The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Company Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and in the absence of manifest error the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Company Notes at any time.

The Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to xxxx the Company Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Company Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If, on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from the Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.12 are not true with respect to such Receivable or as a result of any action or inaction of the Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.12 are no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price (or in the case of a Contributed Receivable, the capital contribution with respect to such Receivable (the “Contributed Value”)), with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to the Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (including any Contributed Receivable) purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned goods or services, or any discount or other adjustment made by the Originator, the Company or the Servicer or any setoff or dispute between the Originator or the Servicer and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Company (or, for periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of the Originator), then the Purchase Price or Contributed Value, as the case may be, with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in clause (c) below.

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price or Contributed Value of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by or contributed to the Company from the Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from the Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit: (i) shall be paid in cash to the Company by the Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso, or (ii) shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Company Note payable to the Originator; against, the amount of such credit shall be paid in cash to the Company by the Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by the Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into the relevant Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that the Originator has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to the Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

(i) From time to time during regular business hours as reasonably requested in advance by the Company or the Administrator (unless a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event exists or there shall be a material variance in the performance of the Receivables), permit the Company or the Administrator, or their respective agents or representatives, (A) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in possession or under the control of the Originator relating to Receivables, including, without limitation, the related Contracts and purchase orders and other agreements related thereto, and (B) to visit the offices and properties of the Originator for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (A) above and to discuss matters relating to Receivables originated by it or the performance hereunder with any of the officers or employees of the Originator having knowledge of such matters, and (ii) without limiting the foregoing clause (i) above, permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Company and Administrator to conduct, at the Company’s expense, a review of the Originator’s books and records with respect to such Receivables, provided that the Company shall not pay for more than one audit per year unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

Maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to re-create records evidencing Receivables it generates in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of such Receivables (including, without limitation, records adequate to permit the daily identification of each new Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable).

(a) Purchase and Sale Termination Events.

(b) Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 4.2(a) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable in any material respect generated by it, or amend, modify or waive, in any material respect, any Contract related thereto (which term or condition relates to payments under, or the enforcement of, such Contract).

(c) Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. Make any change in the character of its business or materially alter its Credit and Collection Policy (other than a change to the insurance provisions of any such policy), which change or alteration would, in either case, materially adversely change the credit standing required of particular Obligors or potential Obligors or impair the collectibility of a material portion of Receivables generated by it.

(h) Transaction Documents. Enter into, execute, deliver or otherwise become bound by any agreement, instrument, document or other arrangement that restricts the right of the Originator to amend, supplement, amend and restate or otherwise modify, or to extend or renew, or to waive any right under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, however, that the Originator may enter into the Credit Agreement as in effect as of August 26, 2010 (without giving effect to any future amendments, amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto).

SECTION 6.4 Substantive Consolidation. The Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Company’s identity as a legal entity separate from the Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Company is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of the Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, the Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) except as provided for in Section 10.6, the Originator shall not be involved in the day to day management of the Company;

(b) the Originator shall maintain separate corporate records and books of account from the Company and otherwise will observe corporate formalities and have a separate area from the Company for its business;

(c) the financial statements and books and records of the Originator shall be prepared after the date of creation of the Company to reflect and shall reflect the separate existence of the Company; provided, that the Company’s assets and liabilities may be included in a consolidated financial statement issued by an Affiliate of the Company; provided, however, all financial statements of UGI or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include the Company will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (i) a special purpose corporation exists as a Subsidiary of UGI, (ii) the Originator has sold receivables and other related assets to such special purpose Subsidiary that, in turn, has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities and (iii) that the special purpose Subsidiary’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of UGI or any Affiliate;

(d) except as permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, (i) the Originator shall maintain its assets separately from the assets of the Company, and (ii) the Company’s assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of the Originator;

(e) all of the Company’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Company’s own name and on its own stationery;

(f) the Originator shall not act as an agent for the Company, other than UGI in its capacity as the Servicer, and in connection therewith, shall present itself to the public as an agent for the Company and a legal entity separate from the Company;

(g) the Originator shall not conduct any of the business of the Company in its own name;

(h) except as provided in Section 10.6, the Originator shall not pay any liabilities of the Company out of its own funds or assets;

(i) the Originator shall maintain an arm’s-length relationship with the Company;

(j) the Originator shall not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of the Company or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of the Company;

(k) the Originator shall not acquire obligations of the Company;

(l) the Originator shall allocate fairly and reasonably overhead or other expenses that are properly shared with the Company, including, without limitation, shared office space;

(o) the Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Company, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party; and

(p) the Originator shall not pay the salaries of the Company’s employees, if any.

The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for one year and one day after the latest of the Facility Termination Date, the date on which no Capital of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding or the date on which all other amounts owed by the Originator under this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the Seller, the Issuer, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person shall be paid in full.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN
RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Company. The Originator hereby authorizes the Company, the Servicer or their respective designees to take any and all steps in the Originator’s name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect on behalf of the Company all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, indorsing the name of the Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment.

SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Originator. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) Collection Procedures. Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Originator agrees to direct its respective Obligors to make payments of Receivables directly to a post office box related to the relevant Lock-Box Account at a Lock-Box Bank. The Originator further agrees to transfer any Collections that it receives directly to the Servicer (for the Company’s account) within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust for the Company.

(b) The Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Company or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Originator from such obligations.

(c) None of the Company, the Servicer or the Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Company, the Servicer, the Issuer or the Administrator be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Originator thereunder.

(d) The Originator hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, in the name of the Originator and on behalf of the Company all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Originator or transmitted or received by the Company (whether or not from the Originator) in connection with any Receivable and to take all other steps necessary to comply with its obligations as Servicer set forth in Article IV of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases. The Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Servicer may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed to the Company hereunder, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Servicer, the Originator will:

(a) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate; and

(b) xxxx the master data processing records that evidence or list (i) such Receivables and (ii) related Contracts with the legend set forth in Section 4.1(j).

The Originator hereby authorizes the Company or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights now existing or hereafter generated by the Originator. If the Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Company or its designee may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Company or its designee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originator as provided in Section 9.1.

SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any amount owed by it to the Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (such application to be made starting with the oldest outstanding Receivable or Receivables) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

ARTICLE VIII
PURCHASE AND SALE TERMINATION EVENTS

SECTION 8.1 Purchase and Sale Termination Events. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event”:

(a) A Termination Event (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) shall have occurred and, in the case of a Termination Event (other than one described in paragraph (f) of Exhibit V of the Receivables Purchase Agreement), the Administrator, shall have declared the Facility Termination Date to have occurred; or

(b) The Originator shall fail to make any payment or deposit to be made by it hereunder when due and such failure shall remain unremedied for two (2) Business Days; or

(c) Any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made (pursuant to Section 4.2) by the Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, or any other written information or report delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; provided, however, that if the violation of this paragraph (c) by the Originator may be cured without any potential or actual detriment to the Purchaser, the Administrator or any Program Support Provider, the Originator shall have 30 days from the earlier of (i) such Person’s knowledge of such failure and (ii) notice to such Person of such failure to cure any such violation, before a Purchase and Sale Termination Event shall occur so long as such Person is diligently attempting to effect such cure; or

(d) The Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall remain unremedied for 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the Servicer to the Originator.

SECTION 8.2 Remedies.

(a) Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Company (and not the Servicer) shall have the option, by notice to the Originator (with a copy to the Administrator), to declare the Purchase Facility as terminated.

(b) Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Company shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.1 Indemnities by the Originator. Without limiting any other rights which the Company may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Originator hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the failure of the Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising out of the claims asserted against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the use of proceeds thereof or therefrom, excluding, however, (i) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (ii) recourse with respect to any Receivable to the extent that such Receivable is uncollectible on account of insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor (except as otherwise specifically provided under this Agreement) and (iii) any tax based upon or measured by net income property, or gross receipts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Originator shall indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

(a) the transfer by the Originator of an interest in any Receivable to any Person other than the Company;

(b) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any written information or report delivered by the Originator pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made;

(c) the failure by the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable generated by the Originator or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Receivable generated by the Originator or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(d) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Company an ownership interest in the Receivables generated by the Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claim, other than an Adverse Claim arising solely as a result of an act of the Company, the Issuer or the Administrator whether existing at the time of the purchase or contribution of such Receivables or at any time thereafter;

(e) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables or purported Receivables generated by the Originator, whether at the time of any purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time;

(f) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable or purported Receivable generated by the Originator (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable’s or the related Contract’s not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the services related to any such Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such services;

(g) any product liability claim arising out of or in connection with services that are the subject of any Receivable generated by the Originator; and

(h) any tax or governmental fee or charge (other than any tax excluded pursuant to clause (iii) in the proviso to the preceding sentence), all interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the purchase or ownership of the Receivables generated by the Originator or any Related Security connected with any such Receivables.

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then the Originator, severally and for itself, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

(a) The provisions of this Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and executed by the Company and the Originator (with the prior written consent of the Administrator).

(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Company, the Servicer, the Originator or any third party beneficiary in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company, the Servicer or the Originator in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

SECTION 10.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, AND AGREES THAT (a) ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND (b) ANY PARTY HERETO (OR ANY ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THIS AGREEMENT) MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES HERETO TO WAIVER OF ITS OR THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j) Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

Exhibit B-5

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Company Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

Exhibit B-6

12. No Negotiation. This Company Note is not negotiable except that is may be assigned to any Affiliate of the Originator.

13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS COMPANY NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

3. Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and UGI hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Issuer and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from UGI and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and UGI shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of UGI and any other Person, and is not a division of UGI, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and UGI shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its certificate of incorporation to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originator (or its Affiliates), owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets (or other receivables originated by the Originator or its Affiliates, and certain related assets), (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool (or other receivables pools originated by the Originator or its Affiliates), and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

(b) The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability, other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

(c) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be an individual who is not a direct, indirect or beneficial stockholder, officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate or supplier of UGI or any of its Affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall provide that: (i) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;

(d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, UGI or any Affiliate thereof;

(e) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee;

(f) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with UGI (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that UGI shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;

(g) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by UGI or any other Affiliate thereof;

(h) All of the Seller’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Seller’s own name and on its own separate stationery;

(i) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of UGI and any other Affiliate thereof;

(j) All financial statements of UGI or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will contain detailed notes clearly stating that: (i) a special purpose corporation exists as a Subsidiary of UGI, (ii) the Originator has sold receivables and other related assets to such special purpose Subsidiary that, in turn, has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities and (iii) that the special purpose Subsidiary’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of UGI, the Performance Guarantor or any Affiliate;

(k) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of UGI or any Affiliate thereof;

(l) The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with UGI or any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of UGI or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which UGI or any Affiliate thereof (other than UGI in its capacity of Servicer) has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy (other than directors and officers liability and credit insurance policies) with respect to any loss relating to the property of UGI or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of UGI. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;

(m) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with UGI (and any Affiliate thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor UGI will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and UGI will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity; and

(n) Neither UGI nor the Performance Guarantor shall pay the salaries of Seller’s employees, if any.
