REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants and Plan Administrator of
AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of AmeriGas
Propane, Inc. Savings Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Savings Plan as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of December 31, 2009
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of the Plan
The following brief description of the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Savings Plan (the Plan) provides
general information on the provisions of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2009 and during the
periods covered by the financial statements. More complete information is included in the Plan
document.
On August 13, 2007, All Star Gas Corporation was acquired by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the
Company). On November 26, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the merger of the
All Star Gas Corporation 401(k) Plan (All Star Gas Plan) with the Plan. Effective February 4,
2008, the net assets of the All Star Gas Plan, including participant loans, were transferred to the
Plan and former participants of the All Star Gas Plan became eligible to participate in the Plan.
Such transfer of net assets is reflected on the 2008 Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Benefits as Merger of All Star Gas Plan.
General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of the Company (a Pennsylvania
corporation). Employees are eligible upon hire to participate in the Plan. The Plan also holds
assets of certain defined contribution pension plans that were terminated in prior years and were
merged into the Plan. Such assets include what is referred to as the Pension Account and
Predecessor Pension Rollover Account and do not impact the general provisions of the Plan. The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the Companys Benefits Committee (Plan
Administrator), whose members are appointed by the President of the Company and subject to
approval by the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.
Contributions. Generally, a participant may elect to contribute to the Plan on a before-tax basis
through payroll reduction an amount equal to from 1% to 50%, in whole percentages, of eligible
compensation. Highly compensated employees of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC), are limited to contributing a maximum of 6% of their compensation. Calendar year
contribution amounts are subject to limits prescribed by the IRC. For the 2009 and 2008 Plan
Years, the IRC before-tax contribution limits were $16,500 and $15,500, respectively. A participant
may increase, reduce or suspend his or her contributions at any time by contacting Fidelity
Institutional Retirement Services Co. (FIRSCO).
The Plan allows for catch-up contributions. The catch-up contribution provision allows certain
employees to make before-tax contributions over and above the IRS and Plan limits. In order to be
eligible to make catch-up contributions, employees must be at least 50 years of age before the end
of the calendar year and must be contributing the IRC or Plan limit. The maximum catch-up
contribution for the 2009 and 2008 Plan Years were $5,500 and $5,000, respectively. Catch-up
contributions are not eligible for the Company matching contribution (as described below).

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Plan also accepts on behalf of any employee (i) the entire amount of cash received as a
distribution from another qualified trust forming part of a plan described in Section 401(a) of the
IRC or from a
rollover individual retirement plan described in Section 408 of the IRC, but only if the deposit
qualifies as a tax free rollover as defined in section 402 or (ii) a direct transfer from another
plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC. The Plan accepts after-tax rollover contributions.
Generally the Company shall contribute to the Plan an amount equal to 100% of contributions made by
each eligible participant for each payroll period up to a total of 5% of the participants eligible
compensation for each such payroll period. A participant will be eligible to receive matching
contributions after he or she has completed a year of service as defined in the Plan document.
The
Company, at its discretion, may also make profit-sharing contributions for each Plan year, out of its net profits,
as shall be determined by its Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to all eligible
participants. No such amounts were contributed to the
Plan in respect of the 2009 Plan Year or the 2008 Plan Year.
All contributions are invested in accordance with participant investment elections in effect on the
dates of the contributions.
A participant will at all times be fully (100%) vested in the portion of his or her account
attributable to the following sources: (i) Predecessor Account; (ii) Predecessor Pension Rollover
Account; (iii) Rollover/Dollar Builder Account; (vi) Rollover ESOP Account; (v) Salary Deferral
Account; (vi) Voluntary Participant Contribution Account; (vii) After-Tax Rollover Account;
(viii) All Star Match Account; and (ix) the All Star Rollover Account, each as defined in the Plan
document. A participant is vested in the portion of his or her account attributable to Company
contributions as follows: 25% after two years of service; 50% after three years of service; 75%
after four years of service; and 100% after five years of service. In addition, a participant is
fully vested in the portion of his or her account attributable to Company contributions upon the
attainment of normal retirement age (as defined in the Plan document), the attainment of early
retirement age (as defined in the Plan document), total disability (as defined in the Plan
document) or death while in the employ of the Company or an affiliated company. For Plan purposes,
a participant will attain normal retirement age on the later of his or her 65th birthday
or the fifth anniversary of his or her date of hire with the Company or an affiliate. A
participant will attain early retirement age on or after his or her attainment of age 55 and the
completion of 10 years of service with the Company or an affiliate.

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
A participant who terminates employment before he or she is fully vested will forfeit nonvested
amounts attributable to Company contributions. These forfeited amounts remain in the Plan and are
available to reduce future Company contributions. During the 2009 Plan Year, no forfeitures were
used to reduce Company contributions. For the 2008 Plan Year, forfeitures of $382,083, were used
to reduce Company contributions. During the 2009 Plan Year and 2008 Plan Year, $260,559 and
$318,752, respectively, were forfeited from participant accounts. As of December 31, 2009 and
2008, there were $285,202 and $20,806, respectively, of forfeitures remaining in the Plan.
Investment Funds. A participant may elect to have his or her funds invested in one or more
investment options. The Plan currently offers investments in selected mutual funds, the UGI Common
Stock fund, a common collective trust fund and Brokerage Link. Brokerage Link balances consist of
the mutual funds offered by the Plan, as well as mutual funds offered by other registered
investment companies. Generally, participants may transfer amounts between options at any time
with no limit, except for the Brokerage Link option. Beginning November 1, 2008, participants are
limited to investing up to 90% of their contributions with Brokerage link and the remaining 10%
must be invested in one of the plans other fund options. Participants may change their investment
elections for future contributions at any time. The default investment fund under the Plan is the
age appropriate Vanguard Target Retirement Fund (based on an assumed retirement age of 65).
Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plans Trustee for all investment assets of the Plan and
qualifies as a party in interest. References to Fidelity in the table of trust investments below
refer to investment funds managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company (FMR). References
to Vanguard in the table of trust investments (Footnote 3) refer to investment funds managed by
The Vanguard Group.
Distributions. The Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment as a result of
retirement, death or total disability, as defined by the Plan document, shall be equal to the
proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the balance of his or her account. Participants may elect to
receive their interest in the UGI Common Stock Fund in the form of shares of UGI Corporation Common
Stock. The Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment for reasons other than
retirement, death or total disability shall be equal to the proceeds of liquidation of the vested
portion of his or her account.
Distributions will generally be made in the form of a lump sum. If the value of a participants
account exceeds $1,000 and the participant is married, the participants Pension Account and
Predecessor Pension Rollover Account will be distributed in the form of a joint and survivor
annuity. Under a joint and survivor annuity, the participant will receive a monthly benefit for
his or her lifetime and upon the participants death, the participants surviving spouse, if any,
will receive a monthly benefit equal to 50% of the benefit the participant was receiving. If the
value of the participants account exceeds $1,000 and the participant is not married, the
participants Pension Account and Predecessor Pension Rollover Account will be distributed in the
form of a single life annuity. In lieu of a joint and survivor annuity or a single life annuity, a
participant may generally elect to receive his or her Pension Account and Predecessor Pension
Rollover Account in the form of (i) a lump sum; (ii) a single life annuity; (iii) a joint and
survivor annuity with 50% or 100% of the participants monthly payments continuing, after the
participants death, for the life of the participants beneficiary; or (iv) installments over 5 or
10 years, as elected by the participant. Any such election will be subject to spousal consent, if
applicable.

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Where the amount to be distributed exceeds $1,000, no distribution shall be made to any Plan
participant prior to his or her normal retirement age or, effective January 1, 2009, age 70 1/2,
unless the participant elects to receive such distribution. Where the amount to be distributed does
not exceed $1,000 a Plan participants benefit will be distributed in the month of May of the Plan
Year after the participant becomes entitled to receive a distribution from the Plan.
Distributions must generally be made as soon as practicable after the participant reaches the
normal retirement age or, effective January 1, 2009, a date no later than April 1 of the Plan Year
that follows the Plan Year in which the participant reaches age 70 1/2. A participant who continues
to work past age 70 1/2 will receive a distribution upon termination of employment.
Death. If a participant dies prior to receiving a distribution of his or her account, the
participants designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum distribution of the
proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the vested portion of his or her account. Generally, the
beneficiary may request a distribution of the participants account balance as soon as practicable
following the date of the participants death. The beneficiary of a participant who is married at
the time of the participants death will be the participants spouse, unless the participant
designated another beneficiary and the spouse consented to such designation in accordance with
procedures specified by the Plan document.
Death benefits are generally paid in the form of a lump sum. Death benefits payable to a spouse
from the Pension Account and the Predecessor Pension Rollover Account are paid in the form of a
single life annuity unless the spouse elects a lump sum distribution.
Withdrawals. Generally, a participant may withdraw at any time up to 50% of the balance of his or
her account attributable to after-tax contributions (including after-tax contributions that were
matched by the Company) which were previously permitted by the Plan. However, the withdrawal must
be in an amount of at least $250. No more than one such withdrawal is permitted in any calendar
year. Effective January 1, 2009, active employees who reach age 59 1/2 can elect, once a year, an
in-service withdrawal generally in an amount not less than $1,000.
A participant may withdraw once per calendar year up to 100% of amounts attributable to
participation in certain predecessor plans and rollover contributions from other 401(a) or
individual retirement plan accounts. Such withdrawal must be at least $500 or, if less, the total
value of the applicable account.
A participant may withdraw before-tax contributions (and earnings attributable thereto credited as
of December 31, 1988) only on account of financial hardship resulting from (i) medical expenses as
defined in section 213(d) of the IRC; (ii) educational expenses for the next twelve months of
post-secondary education of the participant, or his or her spouse, children or dependents; (iii)
foreclosure on or eviction from a primary residence; (iv) costs directly related to the purchase of
a primary residence; (v) payments for burial or funeral expenses of the participants parent,
spouse, children or dependents; or (vi) expenses for the repair of damages on a primary residence
as defined in section 165 of the IRC. A hardship withdrawal will be permitted if the Plan
Administrator determines that (i) the withdrawal is
on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the participant and (ii) the withdrawal is
necessary to satisfy such financial need.

AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
While a participant is still employed by the Company, withdrawals of amounts attributable to
Company contributions, and post-1988 earnings on participant before-tax contributions, are not
permitted.
Loan Provision. The Plan includes an employee loan provision. Generally, at the time a loan is to
be made, the amount of all loans to be outstanding may not exceed the lesser of (i) 50% of a
participants Rollover Dollar Builder Account, After-Tax Rollover account and Salary Deferral
Account less the amount of all loans outstanding at the time a new loan is made, or (ii) $50,000
less the highest balance of all loans outstanding during the prior twelve month period. Each loan
bears interest at a rate determined in accordance with generally prevailing market conditions for
similar types of loans plus 1%. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The amount of the loan withdrawn
from a participants account is allocated in proportion to the value of the participants salary
deferral and rollover account balances in each investment fund. Repayments, including interest, are
made in equal installments through payroll deductions and are allocated to participant accounts in
accordance with current investment elections. No loan may have a final maturity in excess of five
years except that, if the loan is used to purchase a principal residence for the participant, the
loan may have a final maturity of up to ten years. No participant shall be permitted to have more
than two loans outstanding at any one time.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses of the Plan are chargeable to the Plan unless
paid for by the Company. Other than the Plan fees described below, the Company paid for such
expenses. Each active Plan account is assessed a quarterly $4.25 recordkeeping fee. This fee is
automatically deducted in the month following the end of each quarter and remitted to FIRSCO. Loan
administration fees are paid by Plan participants. Mutual fund expenses are paid to fund managers
from mutual fund assets.
Plan Termination. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to
terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time for any reason. In the event of a complete or
partial termination of the Plan, the affected participants will become fully vested in their
account balances.
Plan Amendment. The Company may amend the Plan at any time for any reason by written action of its
Board of Directors. Amendments required to comply with the IRC to maintain compliance with current
laws or regulations, or to correct errors or omissions in the Plan document, however, may be made
by the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Benefits Committee without Board approval.
Voting Rights of UGI Common Stock Fund Participants. A participant has the right to instruct the
trustee of the Plan how to vote, at each meeting of shareholders, all shares of UGI Corporation
Common Stock (including fractional shares) represented by the value of the participants interest
in the UGI Common Stock Fund. A participant also has the right to direct the trustee of the Plan
whether or not to tender shares in response to a tender offer.

2. Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Basis of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan Administrator to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits
state the Plans investments at their fair values with the exception of the Plans investment in
the Vanguards Retirement Savings Trust III (a common collective trust fund investment), which is
stated at its fair value and adjusted to contract value (as further described below). As reported
by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Plans investments in registered investment company
mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held
by the Plan. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair
value. Shares of UGI Common Stock, which are traded on a national securities exchange, are
included in the UGI Common Stock Fund at fair value based upon quoted market prices. Fidelity
Brokerage Link accounts are reflected at their fair value of associated investments, based upon
quoted market prices, held by the Plan participants in their individual self-directed brokerage
accounts.
The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits reflects the Plans interest in the Vanguard
Retirement Saving Trust III at fair value, determined by discounting the related cash flows based
upon current yields of similar instruments with comparable duration. Such amounts are then
adjusted to contract value because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they
were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The interest in the Vanguard
Retirement Savings Trust III is included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits on a contract basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the record date. Interest earned on investments is recorded on the
accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.
The Plan presents in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net
appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments that consists of realized gains or losses
and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of those investments.
-10-
AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Distributions are made to Plan participants based upon the fair value of each participants
investment account (except for investments of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust III for which
distributions are based upon contract value, and except for distributions from the UGI Common Stock
Fund, to the extent not all shares are sold on the same date) as of the dates of distribution.
Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.
Transfers of participant balances represent amounts transferred to or from the UGI Utilities, Inc.
Savings Plan, which is an affiliated plan.
Fair Value Measurements. The Plan performs fair value measurements in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Boards (FASBs) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 (ASC 820),
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Refer to Note 5 for the fair value measurement
disclosures associated with the Plans investments.
Risks and Uncertainties. The investments of the separate investment funds are exposed to various
risks such as interest rate, market and credit risk. The degree and concentration of these risks
vary by fund. The Plans exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance of investments
is limited to the carrying value of such investments. Due to the level of risk associated with the
separate investment funds, it is reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term could
materially affect participants account balances in the amounts reported in the Statements of Net
Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The
UGI Corporation Stock Fund invests principally in shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock.
Participants in the fund do not
individually own specific shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock but rather own units in the fund
that invests in such shares and short-term investments. The value of a unit in the UGI Common Stock
Fund was initially set at $10.00 and is recalculated daily by dividing the fair value of the funds
assets (comprising shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock and temporary cash investments) by the
total number of units outstanding. Generally, participant requests to redeem units from the UGI
Common Stock Fund are processed on the day received if such requests are received by Fidelity
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange and provided that there are sufficient short-term
investments in the fund for liquidity. In such case, the participant will receive the net asset
value, or closing price for the units, calculated using the closing price for UGI Corporation
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for that day. However, on days of unusually heavy
requests for sale, the UGI Common Stock Fund may not have sufficient short-term investments for
liquidity. In such case, requests to sell units received before the close of the New York Stock
Exchange may not be processed on that day at that dates closing price but may be suspended until
sufficient liquidity is restored. Units will be redeemed generally on a first-in, first-out basis
at the closing price for the processing date. Loans, withdrawals and distributions from the UGI
Common Stock Fund will be given priority over exchanges with other funds.
During the 2009 and 2008 Plan Years, the Plan purchased, at market prices, 82,138 and 74,917 shares
of UGI Corporation Common Stock directly from UGI Corporation for $2,010,344 and $1,912,143,
respectively.
4. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures
about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU
2010-06) to require additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities
measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair
value measurements, and transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of fair value
measurements are defined in Note 5 below. The Plan will adopt ASU 2010-06 in the year ending
December 31, 2010 except for certain provisions that will be effective in the year ending December
31, 2011. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-06 on the Plans financial
statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-01, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which
establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-01 changes the
referencing of financial standards.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Implementation
Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic
Entities (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes). This standard prescribes guidance for the financial statement
recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Tax positions must meet a
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon adoption of
this standard which has been adopted as required by the Plan as of January 1, 2009. Although this
standard applies to employee benefit plans, its adoption did not require any adjustments to the
Plans financial statements because of the Plans tax exempt status and the absence of unrelated
business taxable income.
FASB ASC 820-10 (formerly, FSP FAS 157-4) provides additional guidance for Fair Value Measurements
when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. This
standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Plans financial statements.
FASB ASC 320-10 (formerly, FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2) amends the other-than-temporary
impairment guidance for debt and equity securities. This standard is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a
material effect on the Plans financial statements.
5. Fair Value Measurement
The Plan performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit
price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820
clarifies that the fair value should be based upon assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in
valuation techniques and inputs to valuations. When determining fair value measurements, the Plan
considers the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and considers
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as
inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of non-performance.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Plan to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A
financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels
of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Plan has the ability to access; |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly
or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that
are not active, or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation
or by other means; |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

The Plans valuation methodology used to measure the fair values of mutual funds (including mutual
funds in the Brokerage Link accounts), money market fund and the UGI Common Stock Fund were derived
from quoted market prices as substantially all of these instruments have active markets. The
valuation technique used to measure fair value of participant loans above, all of which are secured
by vested account balances of borrowing participants, were derived using a discounted cash flow
model with inputs derived from unobservable market data. Participant loans are included at their
amortized cost in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits which approximates their fair
value at December 31, 2009 and 2008. The valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the
common collective trust fund are included in Note 2.

6. Federal Income Tax Status
On December 6, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter
concerning the qualified status of the Plan in effect as of November 27, 2002 under Section 401(a)
of the IRC. The Plan has since been amended. In compliance with the Pension Protection Act of
2006, which requires plans to submit an application for determination letter every five years, on
January 29, 2010 the Plan submitted a new application with the
Internal Revenue Service. As of the report date formal acceptance has
not been made by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. No U.S. income taxes are required to be
paid by the trust created under the Plan (the Trust) and participants are not taxed on Company
contributions to the Trust or income earned by the Trust. When a participant, or his or her
beneficiary or estate, receives a distribution under the Plan, the taxability of the value of such
distribution depends on the form and time of payment.
