Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 22, 2010, UGI Energy Services, Inc. ("UGIES"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation ("Registrant"), and Energy Services Funding Corporation ("ESFC"), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of UGIES, entered into Amendment No. 8 (the "Amendment") to the $200 million Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "RPA"), among UGIES, as servicer, ESFC, as seller, Market Street Funding LLC, as issuer (the "Issuer"), and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrator. The Amendment provides for an extension of the scheduled expiration of the RPA from April 22, 2010 to April 21, 2011.

The underlying RPA was entered into in conjunction with a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "PSA") between UGIES and ESFC. Under the RPA, UGIES transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable to ESFC. ESFC, in turn, has in the past sold, and subject to certain conditions, may from time to time in the future sell, an undivided interest in some or all of the receivables to the Issuer. ESFC’s and UGIES’ obligations under the RPA and PSA are secured by all receivables under the receivables pool, as well as the related security, the collections thereof and the lock-box accounts into which the proceeds thereof are to be remitted.

As amended, the scheduled termination date of the RPA is April 21, 2011, although the RPA may terminate prior to such date upon a termination event. The RPA contains customary indemnifications by ESFC and UGIES, as servicer, as well as customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants applicable to ESFC as seller and UGIES as servicer for agreements of this type.

The PSA provides for customary termination events (in certain cases, with grace or cure periods), including, among other things, the event of nonpayment of amounts due under the RPA, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to comply with covenants and limitations on certain ratios with respect to receivables, and a change of control of UGIES or ESFC.

PNC Bank, National Association or its affiliates currently and has in the past and may in the future lend to the Registrant’s affiliates, and may in the future provide other fee-based financial services or act in various roles under credit arrangements of the Registrant’s affiliates or the Registrant.





Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

10.1 Amendment No. 8, dated as of April 22, 2010, to Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time), by and among UGI Energy Services, Inc., as servicer, Energy Services Funding Corporation, as seller, Market Street Funding, LLC, as issuer, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrator.
