Agreement and each 2006 Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such
2006 Note pursuant to any such provision.
 
The Company, Prudential and the Existing Holders desire to amend and restate the

Prudential and the Existing Holders agree that (a) the 2006 Agreement shall be
amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in this Agreement, (b)
each of the 2006 Notes shall be deemed amended to reflect that each such 2006
Note is governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (c) each of the 2006

The Company will authorize the issue of its additional senior promissory notes
(the “Shelf Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000, to
be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so
issued, no more than ten and one-half (10.5) years after the date of original
issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so
issued, of no more than ten and one-half (10.5) years after the date of original
issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date
thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall
be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of
Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to paragraph
2B(6), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto.  The

(ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment
amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv)
the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same
date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another
Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate
predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.
 
2.  
PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.

 
2A.           [Intentionally Omitted].
 
2B.           Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.
 
2B(1).                      Facility.  Prudential is willing to consider, in its
sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by
Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to
this Agreement.  The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of
Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility.”  At any time, the aggregate
principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in paragraph 1, minus the aggregate
principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement
prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as
hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior
to such time, is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such
time.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF
SHELF NOTES BY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE
EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL
BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE
RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES,
AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR
ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.
 
2B(2).                      Issuance Period.  Shelf Notes may be issued and sold
pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the
date of this Agreement (or if the date of such anniversary is not a Business
Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary), (ii) the 30th day after
Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to
Prudential, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance
and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such 30th day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such 30th day), (iii) the last
Closing Day after which there is no Available Facility Amount, (iv) the
termination of the Facility under paragraph 7A of this Agreement, and (v) the
acceleration of any Note under paragraph 7A of this Agreement.  The period
during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is
herein called the “Issuance Period”.
 
2B(3).                      Periodic Spread Information.  Not later than 9:30
A.M. (New York City local time) on a Business Day during the Issuance Period if
there is an Available Facility Amount on such Business Day, the Company may
request by telecopier or telephone, and Prudential will, to the extent
reasonably practicable, provide to the Company on such Business Day (or, if such
request is received after 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on such Business
Day, on the following Business Day), information (by telecopier or telephone)
with respect to various spreads at which Prudential or Prudential Affiliates
might be interested in purchasing Shelf Notes of different average lives;
provided, however, that the Company may not make such requests more frequently
than once in every five (5) Business Days or such other period as shall be
mutually agreed to by the Company and Prudential.  The amount and content of
information so provided shall be in the sole discretion of Prudential but it is
the intent of Prudential to provide information which will be of use to the
Company in determining whether to initiate procedures for use of the Facility.
 Information so provided shall not constitute an offer to purchase Shelf Notes,
and neither Prudential nor any Prudential Affiliate shall be obligated to
purchase Shelf Notes at the spreads specified.  Information so provided shall be
representative of potential interest only. Prudential may suspend or terminate
providing information pursuant to this paragraph 2B(3) for any reason, including
its determination that the credit quality of the Company has declined since the
date of this Agreement.
 

 

 
2B(4).                      Request for Purchase.  The Company may from time to
time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each
such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”).  Each Request for
Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telecopier or overnight delivery
service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes
covered thereby, which shall not be less than $10,000,000 and not be greater
than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is
made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no
more than ten and one-half (10.5) years from the date of issuance), average life
(which shall be no more than ten and one-half (10.5) years from the date of
issuance), principal prepayment dates (if any) and amounts of the Shelf Notes
covered thereby, (iii) specify the interest payment periods (which shall be
quarterly in arrears), (iv) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (v)
specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf
Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10
days and not more than 25 days after the making of such Request for Purchase
(which can be can be advanced by mutual agreement of Company and Prudential),
(vi) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the
depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to
be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vii) certify (x)
that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and
as of the date of such Request for Purchase, (y) that there exists on the date
of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (z) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued hereunder after
giving effect to the issuance of the Notes under such Request for Purchase and
that the issuance of the Notes under such Request for Purchase is permissible
under the Credit Agreement, and (viii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto.  Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be
deemed made when received by Prudential.
 
2B(5).                      Rate Quotes.  Not later than five Business Days
after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to
paragraph 2B(4), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to
the Company by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30
P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect)
interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, interest
payment periods and principal prepayment schedules of Shelf Notes specified in
such Request for Purchase on the basis of quarterly interest payments to be made
in arrears.  Each quote shall represent the fixed interest rate per annum
payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which a
Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes
at 100% of the principal amount thereof.
 
2B(6).                      Acceptance.  Within the Acceptance Window with
respect to any interest rate quotes provided pursuant to paragraph 2B(5), the
Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(7), elect to accept such interest rate
quotes as to not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf
Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase.  Such election shall be
made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone
or telecopier within the Acceptance Window that the Company elects to accept
such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note
being herein called an “Accepted Note”) as to which such acceptance (herein
called an “Acceptance”) relates.  The day the Company notifies Prudential of an
Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance
Day” for such Accepted Notes.  Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential
does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no
purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired
interest rate quotes.  Subject to paragraph 2B(7) and the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to a Prudential Affiliate or
Affiliates, and Prudential agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential
Affiliate or Affiliates of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount
of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company
and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will
execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”).  If the Company
should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days
following the Company’s receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with
respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate may at its
election at any time prior to Prudential’s receipt thereof cancel the closing
with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.
 
2B(7).                      Market Disruption.  Notwithstanding the provisions
of paragraph 2B(6), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes
pursuant to paragraph 2B(5) and thereafter, prior to the time an Acceptance with
respect to such quotes shall have been made in accordance with paragraph 2B(6),
the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other financial instruments
shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material
limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the
New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities
or other financial instruments, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and
no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired
interest rate quotes.  If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the
Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be
ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly
(on the same day of such Acceptance, if practical, otherwise on the immediately
following Business Day) notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph
2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.
 
2B(8).                      Facility Closings.  Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New
York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company
will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating
thereto at the offices of Prudential Capital Group, 180 North Stetson Street,
Suite 5600, Chicago, Illinois 60601, Attention:  Law Department or at such other
place pursuant to the directions of Prudential, the Accepted Notes to be
purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized
denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to
be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such
Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the
purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to
the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes.  If
the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased
by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as
provided above in this paragraph 2B(8), or any of the conditions specified in
paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled
Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on
such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed
received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be
rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance
Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after
such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to
Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that
the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the
conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the
Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph
2B(9)(iii), or (ii) such closing is to be canceled.  In the event that the
Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence,
Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after
1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the
Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect
to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than
one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.
 
2B(9).                      Fees.
 
2B(9)(i).                      Structuring Fee.  In consideration for the time,
effort and expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and execution of
this Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Company and Prudential, the Company will pay to Prudential or at the
direction of Prudential by wire transfer of immediately available funds a fee
(herein called the “Structuring Fee”) in the amount of $25,000.00,  which amount
shall be due payable on September 30, 2014,  provided however, that if Company
delivers an Acceptance of an interest rate quote on or before September 30,
2014, then Prudential shall waive the Structuring Fee.
 
2B(9)(ii).                      Issuance Fee.  The Company will pay to each
Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the “Issuance
Fee”) on each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes issued to such Purchaser on such Closing Day.
 
2B(9)(iii).                      Delayed Delivery Fee.  If the closing of the
purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the
original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to each
Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note (a) on the
Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if
earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for
such Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior
payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated
as follows:
 
(BEY – MMY) X DTS/360 X PA
 
where “BEY” means the Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per
annum of such Accepted Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per
annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by
Prudential  and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the
Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days for such Accepted Note (a
new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing
is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days
elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note (in
the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from
and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any
subsequent Delayed Delivery Fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to
but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e.,
the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being
made.  In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero.  Nothing
contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on
any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be
rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(8).  Purchaser
shall provide Company with a certificate setting out the manner of calculation
of the Delayed Delivery Fee.
 
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Company shall not be required
to pay a Delayed Delivery Fee to any Purchaser in the event that such delay
results from such Purchaser’s failure to pay to the Company the purchase price
for such Accepted Note, even though all conditions precedent set forth in
paragraph 3B hereof have been satisfied as of the original Closing Day for the
Accepted Notes of such Purchaser (other than an opinion from Purchaser’s special
counsel required under paragraph 3B(2) unless the Company or any Subsidiary
shall have failed to comply with any reasonable request of the Purchasers or
their counsel to provide information necessary for the Purchaser’s special
counsel to deliver the opinion required by paragraph 3B(2)).  In the event the
delay results from a condition precedent in paragraph 3B that is within the
control of the Company, and such condition is not satisfied within five (5)
Business Days of the original Closing Day, the Company will be required to pay
the applicable Delayed Delivery Fee.
 
2B(9)(iv).                      Cancellation Fee.  If the Company at any time
notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the
purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in
writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph
2B(6) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(8) that the closing of the
purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of
the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to
the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification or the
last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the
“Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have
agreed to purchase such Accepted Note on the Cancellation Date in immediately
available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) calculated as follows:
 
PI X PA
 
where “PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals)
obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by
Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid
price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the
Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the
meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(9)(iii).  The foregoing bid and ask
prices shall be as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or, if such data for any reason
ceases to be available through TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of
similar market data).  Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security
having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal
place.  In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

Notes, without premium, the sum of $3,571,428.58 on April 10 in each of the
years 2010 to 2015, inclusive, and such principal amounts of the 2006 Notes,

paragraph 4E or 4F the principal amount of each required prepayment of the 2006
Notes becoming due under this paragraph 4A(1) on and after the date of such

principal amount of the 2006 Notes is reduced as a result of such
purchase).  The remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2006 Notes,

principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the
Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Notes of such
Series, provided, however, that the Company may not prepay the Notes of any
Series, in whole or in part pursuant to this paragraph 4B without the written
consent of the Required Holders if at the time of such prepayment, or after
giving effect thereto, a Default or Event of Default would exist.  Any partial

in satisfaction of required payments of principal thereof (including the
required payment of principal due upon the maturity thereof) in inverse order of
their scheduled due dates.
 
4C.           Notice of Optional Prepayment.  The Company shall give the holder

4E(1).                      Notice of Change of Control.  The Company will, at
least 30 days prior to any Change of Control, give written notice of such Change
of Control to each holder of the Notes.  Such notice shall contain and

the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such
beneficial owner) at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control.
 
4E(4).                      Rejection; Acceptance.  A holder of Notes may accept
or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4E by causing a
notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company prior to
the prepayment date.  A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer
to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4E shall be deemed to constitute an
acceptance of such offer by such holder.
 
4E(5).                      Prepayment.  Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid
pursuant to this paragraph 4E shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such
Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment
and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect thereto.  The prepayment
shall be made at the time of occurrence of a Change of Control.

whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment
pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, upon acceptance of an offer to prepay pursuant
to paragraph 4E or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to
paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes
of any Series held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or
Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or
otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes of such Series held by each other holder of Notes of
such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions.  Any
Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be deemed to be
outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement.
 
5.           AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  From and after the date of this Agreement,
during the Issuance Period and unless otherwise consented to in accordance with
paragraph 11C, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, until the

shall maintain at all times an aggregate Net Worth of at least $120,018,000 plus
35% of the positive consolidated Net Income for each fiscal quarter from and
after December 31, 2013 on a cumulative basis.  For purposes of all computations

preceding four fiscal quarters of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
ending on the date of determination. This covenant shall be tested quarterly at
the end of each fiscal quarter.

the Securities Act in connection with the resale of Notes, except at such times
as the Company is subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements
of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  For the purpose of this paragraph
5N, the term “qualified institutional buyer” shall have the meaning specified in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
 
5O.           Excess Leverage Fee.  If the ratio of Total Funded Debt to EBITDA,
determined, in the case of Total Funded Debt, on the date of determination, and
in the case of EBITDA, for the preceding four fiscal quarters of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries ending on the date of determination, as of the end
of any fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2009 is greater than 2.50 to

the daily average outstanding principal amount of such 2006 Note during such
fiscal quarter at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%.  The Excess Leverage Fee with
respect to each 2006 Note for any fiscal quarter shall be calculated on the same
basis as interest on such 2006 Note is calculated and shall be paid in arrears
within forty-five (45) days of the end of such fiscal quarter.  The payment of
any Excess Leverage Fee shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default.   If for any reason the Company fails to deliver the financial
statements required by paragraph 5D hereof for a fiscal quarter or fiscal year
by the date the Excess Leverage Fee, if any, would be payable for such fiscal
quarter, then, for the purposes of this paragraph 5O, the ratio of Total Funded
Debt to EBITDA for such fiscal quarter or for the last fiscal quarter of such
fiscal year, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be greater than 2.50 to
1.00.

it or any other Credit Agreement Borrower enters into, assumes or otherwise
becomes bound or obligated under any agreement evidencing, securing,

excess of $1,000,000 in respect of one or more Swap Agreements, of any one or
more of the Company and any other Credit Agreement Borrower, that contains, or
amends any such agreement to contain, one or more Additional Covenants or
Additional Defaults, then on such date the terms of this Agreement shall,
without any further action on the part of the Company or any of the holders of
the Notes, be deemed to be amended automatically to include each Additional
Covenant and each Additional Default contained in such agreement.  The Company
further covenants to promptly execute and deliver at its expense (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the holders of the Notes) an
amendment to this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required
Holder(s) evidencing the amendment of this Agreement to include such Additional
Covenants and Additional Defaults, provided that the execution and delivery of

amendment as provided for in this paragraph 5P, but shall merely be for the
convenience of the parties hereto.

Amount by the Company in the event the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a
result of an Event of Default is intended to provide compensation for the
deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
 
7B.           Rescission of Acceleration.  At any time after any or all of the
Notes of any Series shall have been declared immediately due and payable
pursuant to paragraph 7A, the Required Holder(s) of the Notes of such Series

covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Agreement.  No remedy conferred in this
Agreement upon the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

10.           DEFINITIONS; ACCOUNTING MATTERS.  For the purpose of this
Agreement, the terms defined in paragraphs 10A and 10B (or within the text of
any other paragraph) shall have the respective meanings specified therein and
all accounting matters shall be subject to determination as provided in
paragraph 10C.
 
10A.           Yield-Maintenance Terms.
 
“Called Principal” shall mean, with respect to any Note, the principal of such
Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B or paragraph 4E or is
declared to be or otherwise becomes immediately due and payable pursuant to
paragraph 7A, as the context requires.
 
“Discounted Value” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note,
the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect
to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with
accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (as converted to reflect
the periodic basis on which interest on such Note is payable, if interest is
payable other than on a semi-annual basis) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with
respect to such Called Principal.
 
 
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note,
the sum of the (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask
Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business
Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the
display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1)
on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded
on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the
Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If
there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to
such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be
determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating
linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently
issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities
(1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to
and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be
rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the
applicable Note.
 
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not
ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50%
plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity
yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported
as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable
successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term
equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
Settlement Date.  If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a
term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will
be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining
Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the
term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment
Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the
interest rate of the applicable Note.
 
 “Remaining Average Life” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of
any Note, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal
into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) each Remaining
Scheduled Payment of such Called Principal (but not of interest thereon) by (b)
the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, which will elapse between
the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due
date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
 
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal
of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that
would be due on or after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its
scheduled due date.
 
“Settlement Date” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note,
the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph
4B or paragraph 4E or is declared to be or otherwise becomes immediately due and
payable pursuant to paragraph 7A, as the context requires.
 
“Yield-Maintenance Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Note, an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Called Principal of such
Note over the sum of (i) such Called Principal plus (ii) interest accrued
thereon as of (including interest due on) the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal.  The Yield-Maintenance Amount shall in no event be less
than zero.

this paragraph 11A to any Transferee which shall have made the same agreement as
each Purchaser has made in this paragraph 11A.  No holder shall be required to
present or surrender any Note or make any notation thereon, except that upon the
written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly
after the payment or prepayment in full of any Note, the applicable holder shall
surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after such request, to
the Company at its principal office.
 
11B.           Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated, the Company shall pay, and save Prudential, each Purchaser
and any Transferee harmless against liability for the payment of, all
out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with such transactions, including:
 
(i)           (a) all stamp and documentary taxes and similar charges, (b) costs
of obtaining a private placement number from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group
for the Notes and (c) fees and expenses of brokers, agents, dealers, investment
banks or other intermediaries or placement agents, in each case as a result of
the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Notes;
 
(ii)           document production and duplication charges and the fees and
expenses of any special counsel engaged by such Purchaser or such Transferee in
connection with (a) this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
(b) any subsequent proposed waiver, amendment or modification of, or proposed
consent under, this Agreement, whether or not such proposed waiver, amendment,
modification or consent shall be effected or granted;
 
(iii)           the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and financial
advisory fees, incurred by such Purchaser or such Transferee in enforcing (or
determining whether or how to enforce) any rights under this Agreement or the
Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal
investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or by reason of your or such Transferee’s
having acquired any Note, including without limitation costs and expenses
incurred in any workout, restructuring or renegotiation proceeding or bankruptcy
case; and
 
 (iv)           any judgment, liability, claim, order, decree, cost, fee,
expense, action or obligation resulting from the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the use of the proceeds of the Notes
by the Company.
 
The Company also will promptly pay or reimburse each Purchaser or holder of a
Note (upon demand, in accordance with each such Purchaser’s or holder’s written
instruction) for all fees and costs paid or payable by such Purchaser or holder
to the Capital Markets & Investment Analysis Office of the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners  in connection with the initial filing of this
Agreement and all related documents and financial information, and all
subsequent annual and interim filings of documents and financial information
related to this Agreement, with such Capital Markets & Investment
Analysis  Office or any successor organization acceding to the authority
thereof.
 
The obligations of the Company under this paragraph 11B shall survive the
transfer of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by any Purchaser or
Transferee and the payment of any Note.
 
11C.           Consent to Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, and the
Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein
required to be performed by it, if the Company shall obtain the written consent
to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holder(s) except
that, (i) with the written consent of the holders of all Notes of a particular
Series, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, of
the holders of all Notes of all Series at the time outstanding (and not without
such written consents), the Notes of such Series may be amended or the
provisions thereof waived to change the maturity thereof, to change or affect
the principal thereof, or to change or affect the rate, method of computation or
time of payment of interest on or any Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with
respect to the Notes of such Series, (ii) without the written consent of the
holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to or
waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall change or affect the provisions
of paragraph 7A or this paragraph 11C insofar as such provisions relate to
proportions of the principal amount of the Notes of any Series, or the rights of
any individual holder of Notes, required with respect to any declaration of
Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any consent, amendment, waiver or
declaration, (iii) with the written consent of Prudential (and not without the
written consent of Prudential) the provisions of paragraph 2B may be amended or
waived (except insofar as any such amendment or waiver would affect any rights
or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which shall have
become Accepted Notes prior to such amendment or waiver), and (iv) with the
written consent of all of the Purchasers which shall have become obligated to
purchase Accepted Notes of any Series (and not without the written consent of
all such Purchasers), any of the provisions of paragraphs 2B and 3 may be
amended or waived insofar as such amendment or waiver would affect only rights
or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Accepted Notes of
such Series or the terms and provisions of such Accepted Notes.  Each holder of
any Note at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent
authorized by this paragraph 11C, whether or not such Note shall have been
marked to indicate such consent, but any Notes issued thereafter may bear a
notation referring to any such consent.  No course of dealing between the
Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights
hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any
holder of any Note.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
negotiations or discussions in which Prudential or any holder of any Note may
engage regarding any possible amendments, consents or waivers with respect to
this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, any
term of this Agreement or any rights of Prudential or any such holder under this
Agreement. As used herein and in the Notes, the term “this Agreement” and
references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be
amended or supplemented.
 
11D.           Form, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Lost
Notes.  The Notes are issuable as registered notes without coupons in
denominations of at least $100,000, except as may be necessary to (i) reflect
any principal amount not evenly divisible by $100,000 or (ii) enable the
registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes; provided,
however, that no such minimum denomination shall apply to Notes issued upon
transfer by any holder of the Notes to Prudential or any of Prudential’s
Affiliates or to any other entity or group of Affiliates with respect to which
the Notes so issued or transferred shall be managed by a single entity.  The
Company shall keep at its principal office a register in which the Company shall
provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Note at the principal office of the Company,
the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of
like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of
such transferee or transferees.  At the option of the holder of any Note, such
Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Note
to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company.  Whenever any Notes are
so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and
deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.  Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized
in writing.  Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer
thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which
were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that neither gain nor
loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange.  Upon receipt
of written notice from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction,
upon receipt of such holder’s unsecured indemnity agreement, or in the case of
any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company
will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Note.
 
11E.           Persons Deemed Owners; Participations.  Prior to due presentment
for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any
such Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of, interest on and any Yield-Maintenance Amount
payable with respect to such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.  Subject to the preceding sentence, the holder of any
Note may from time to time grant participations in all or any part of such Note
to any Person on such terms and conditions as may be determined by such holder
in its sole and absolute discretion.
 
11F.           Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire
Agreement.  All representations and warranties contained herein or made in
writing by or on behalf of the Company in connection herewith shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the transfer by any
Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of
any Note, and may be relied upon by any Transferee, regardless of any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any
Transferee.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes
embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Purchasers and the
Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.
 
11G.           Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements in
this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure
to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto
(including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or not.
 
11H.           Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be
given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is
prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by
an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations
of,  another covenant shall not (i) avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event
of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists or (ii) in any way
prejudice an attempt by the holder of any Note to prohibit through equitable
action or otherwise the taking of any action by the Company or any Subsidiary
which would result in a Default or Event of Default.
 
11I.           Notices.  All written communications provided for hereunder
(other than communications provided for under paragraph 2) shall be sent by
first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid)
and (i) if to Prudential or any Purchaser, addressed to Prudential or such
Purchaser at the address specified for such communications in the Purchaser
Schedule attached hereto (in the case of Prudential or the 2006 Notes) or the
Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance (in the
case of any Purchaser of any Shelf Note), or at such other address as Prudential
or such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii) if to any
other holder of any Note, addressed to such other holder at such address as such
other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing or, if any such
other holder shall not have so specified an address to the Company, then
addressed to such other holder in care of the last holder of such Note which
shall have so specified an address to the Company, and (iii) if to the Company,
addressed to it at Twin Disc, Incorporated, 1328 Racine Street, Racine,
Wisconsin, 53403, Attention:  Vice President – Finance, Chief Financial Officer
and Secretary, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to
the holder of each Note in writing; provided, however, that any such
communication to the Company may also, at the option of the holder of any Note,
be delivered by any other means either to the Company at its address specified
above or to any officer of the Company. Any communication pursuant to paragraph
2 shall be made by the method specified for such communication in paragraph 2,
and shall be effective to create any rights or obligations under this Agreement
only if, in the case of a telephone communication, an Authorized Officer of the
party conveying the information and of the party receiving the information are
parties to the telephone call, and in the case of a telecopier communication,
the communication is signed by an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the
information, addressed to the attention of an Authorized Officer of the party
receiving the information, and in fact received at the telecopier terminal the
number of which is listed for the party receiving the communication in the
Information Schedule or at such other telecopier terminal as the party receiving
the information shall have specified in writing to the party sending such
information.
 
11J.           Payments Due on Non-Business Days.  Anything in this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or
Yield-Maintenance Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other
than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without
including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable
on such next succeeding Business Day.
 
11K.           Satisfaction Requirement.  If any agreement, certificate or other
writing, or any action taken or to be taken, is by the terms of this Agreement
required to be satisfactory to any Purchaser, to any holder of Notes or to the
Required Holder(s), the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by such
Purchaser, such holder or the Required Holder(s), as the case may be, in the
sole and exclusive judgment (exercised in good faith) of the Person or Persons
making such determination.
 
11L.           GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT)  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES WHICH WOULD
OTHERWISE CAUSE THIS AGREEMENT TO BE CONSTRUED OR ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
OR THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION).
 
11M.                      SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES MAY BE
BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, OR
OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND, BY EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL AND EACH PURCHASER EACH
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS, UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID
COURTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL
AND EACH PURCHASER EACH FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS
OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE
MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO
IT AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 11I, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE
UPON RECEIPT.  THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL AND EACH PURCHASER EACH AGREES THAT A
FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE
ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON SUCH JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY HOLDER OF
A NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE COMPANY IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.  THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL AND EACH PURCHASER EACH IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE
OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND HEREBY FURTHER
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PURCHASER
HAS OR MAY HEREAFTER ACQUIRE IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY
LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT,
ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR
ITS PROPERTY), SUCH PERSON HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF
ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  THE COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL AND EACH
PURCHASER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES RELATING THERETO, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT).
 
11N.           Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
11O.           Descriptive Headings; Advice of Counsel; Interpretation.  The
descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.  Each party
to this Agreement represents to the other parties to this Agreement that such
party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the
Notes, that such party has discussed this Agreement and the Notes with its
counsel and that any and all issues with respect to this Agreement and the Notes
have been resolved as set forth herein.  No provision of this Agreement or the
Notes shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party
hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of
such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such
provision.
 
11P.           Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but
all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
11Q.           Severalty of Obligations.  The sales of Notes to the Purchasers
are to be several sales, and the obligations of Prudential or the Purchasers
under this Agreement are several obligations.  No failure by Prudential or any
Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any
other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither
Prudential nor any  Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations of, or
any action taken or omitted by, any other Person hereunder.
 
11R.           Independent Investigation.  Each Purchaser represents to and
agrees with each other Purchaser that it has made its own independent
investigation of the condition (financial and otherwise), prospects and affairs
of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with its purchase of the Notes
hereunder and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Company.  No holder of Notes shall have any duties or
responsibility to any other holder of Notes, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to make any such investigation or appraisal or to provide any credit or
other information with respect thereto.  No holder of Notes is acting as agent
or in any other fiduciary capacity on behalf of any other holder of Notes.
 
11S.           Directly or Indirectly.  Where any provision in this Agreement
refers to actions to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited
from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether the action in question
in taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
 
11T.           Transaction References.  The Company agrees that Prudential
Capital Group may (a) refer to its role in establishing the Facility, as well as
the identity of the Company, the 2006 Notes and the maximum aggregate principal
amount of the Notes and the date on which the Facility was established, on its
internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone”
announcements or any other print or electronic medium and (b) display the
Company’s corporate logo in conjunction with any such reference.
 
11U.           Binding Agreement.  When this Agreement is executed and delivered
by the Company, Prudential and each of the Existing Holders, it shall become a
binding agreement between the Company, Prudential and each of the Existing
Holders. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of each Purchaser which
shall have executed and delivered a Confirmation of Acceptance and each such
Purchaser shall be bound by this Agreement to the extent provided in such
Confirmation of Acceptance.

Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2014 by and among the Company, Twin Disc
International, S.A., a Belgian corporation, and Wells Fargo, National
Association.

In addition, we have examined such certificates of public officials,
certificates of officers of the Company and copies certified to our satisfaction
of corporate documents and records of the Company and of other papers as we have
deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinion hereinafter set
forth.  We have without independent investigation relied solely upon such
certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company and the
representations and warranties contained in the Note Purchase Agreement with
respect to the accuracy of all factual matters contained therein; nothing,
however, has come to our attention which, to our knowledge, would cause us to
believe that any such factual matters are untrue.
 
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission: that all
items submitted to us as originals are authentic and all signatures thereon are
genuine; all items submitted to us as copies conform to the originals; all items
submitted to us as unexecuted drafts have been submitted to us in final form and
have been or shall be executed substantially in the form provided and without
revision to the obligations of the Company contained therein; all natural
persons, including persons acting on behalf of the business entity, are legally
competent; each such item has been duly executed and delivered by each party
(other than the Company), has been duly authorized by each party (other than the
Company) and constitutes each party’s (other than Company’s) legal, valid and
binding obligations; and there are no agreements, course of dealing, usage of
trade, or other arrangements between any of the parties that would alter the
agreements set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement or the opinions set forth
herein.
 
Based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and
exclusions stated herein, it is our opinion that:
 
1.           The Company is a corporation organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.  To our knowledge, the
Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the ownership of property by it or the nature of the business
conducted thereby makes such qualification necessary.   To our knowledge, the
Company has all requisite corporate power to conduct its business as currently
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted.
 
2.           The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement.  The Note
Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on
the part of the Company and duly executed and delivered by authorized officers
of the Company, and is a valid obligation of the Company, legally binding upon
and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
 
3.           The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and
fulfillment of and compliance with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement
does not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or
result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company, or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other
action by or notice to or filing with any court, administrative or governmental
body or other Person pursuant to, the articles or by-laws of the Company, any
applicable law (including any securities or Blue Sky law), statute, rule or
regulation or, to our knowledge and without having made due inquiry with respect
thereto, any agreement (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement),
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is a party or
otherwise subject.
 
4.           The Company is not (a) an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, or an “investment adviser” within the meaning
of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, (b) a “holding company” of a
“public utility company” of an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005, as amended, or (c) a “public utility” within the meaning of
the Federal Power Act, as amended.
 
5.           To our knowledge, except to the extent disclosed by the Company in
the Note Purchase Agreement and Schedules thereto, there are no actions, suits
or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental
authority either (i) with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement or the 2006
Notes or (ii) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities,
operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
 
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications,
limitations, exclusions, and assumptions:
 
Our opinions are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer, equitable subordination, reorganization,
moratorium, bulk transfer or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and to the effect of general principles of equity, including (without
limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and by
limitations on the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies and by public policy considerations which, among other
things, limit or restrict any agreement of Company in the Note Purchase
Agreement relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation of costs,
expenses or liabilities incurred by you in connection with the transactions
contemplated by such documents. Certain of the provisions and remedies provided
for in the Note Purchase Agreement may be further limited or rendered
unenforceable to applicable law, but in our opinion such law does not make the
remedies afforded by the Note Purchase Agreement inadequate for the practical
realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided (except as
otherwise limited by this opinion and except for the economic consequences of
any judicial, administrative or other procedural delay which may result from
such laws).
 
Our opinion set forth in Paragraph 1, above, is based solely upon the
Certificate of Status from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, a
true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
We express no opinion as to any of the following to the extent relevant to the
Note Purchase Agreement:
 
i.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Note Purchase Agreement making
irrevocable a power of attorney, whether or not coupled with an interest;

 
ii.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Note Purchase Agreement prohibiting
the non-written modification of such Note Purchase Agreement;

 
iii.  
As to whether or not the Company is in compliance with any financial covenants,
representations or warranties contained in the Note Purchase Agreement (except
to the extent the subject matter of such representation or warranty is expressly
addressed in this opinion letter);

 
iv.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Note Purchase Agreement waiving the
right to a jury trial, the objection of improper venue, unknown rights or
defenses or any agreement granting subject matter and personal jurisdiction in
any court;

 
v.  
The enforceability of any provision requiring the payment of attorneys' fees and
expenses, in an amount in excess of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
actually incurred;

 
vi.  
The enforceability of any provision purporting to shorten any statute of
limitations, or waiving in advance any defense with respect to any statute of
limitations;

 
vii.  
The enforceability of any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement granting the
secured party or obligee the unilateral right or discretion to determine
standards or requirements for performance not expressly enumerated in the Note
Purchase Agreement, or to establish standards or requirements that are not
commercially (or manifestly) reasonable;

 
viii.  
Any waivers of rights of setoff, or any agreement to setoff debts that are not
liquidated and payable;

 
ix.  
Any provision providing for the right to injunctive relief without a showing of
irreparable harm or injury; and

 
x.  
The enforceability of any material adverse effect (or Material Adverse Effect)
standard.

 
Wherever we indicate that our opinion with respect to the existence or absence
of fact is “to our knowledge” or the like, our opinion is, with your permission,
based solely on the current awareness of facts of the attorneys currently with
our firm who have represented the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement.
 
We note that the Note Purchase Agreement purports to be governed by the laws of
the State of New York. We are members of the Bar of the State of Wisconsin, and
the opinions expressed herein are based upon and limited exclusively to the laws
of that State and the Federal laws of the United States of America.  We have not
undertaken any research for purposes of determining, and we express no opinion
concerning, the laws or jurisdiction of any other state, whether one or more,
whose laws and requirements apply to the Company or the Existing Holders or of
any of the transactions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. For the
purpose of our opinion herein, we have assumed, with your permission and without
any investigation that the laws of the State of New York are identical in all
respects to the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
 
For purposes of this opinion, “delivery” means the provision of executed
documents by an officer of the Company (or its duly authorized agent) as
executed by such officer pursuant to instructions provided by the Company.  We
do not render any opinion on the delivery of any documents by any other party
the delivery of which is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Note
Purchase Agreement and the completion of delivery by the Company thereunder.
 
We express no opinion that the Note Purchase Agreement specifies a choice of law
that is enforceable.
 
The opinions expressed herein shall be effective only as of the effective date
of this letter.  We do not assume responsibility for updating this letter as to
any date subsequent to the date of this letter, and assume no responsibility for
advising you of any changes with respect to any matters described in this letter
that may occur subsequent to the date of this letter or from the discovery
subsequent to the date of this letter of information not previously known to us
pertaining to events occurring prior to the date of this letter.
 
This opinion is furnished to you solely in connection with the transaction
described above and may not be relied upon by anyone other than you and the
Existing Holders as of the date of this letter  and any Transferees and may be
relied upon only in connection with this transaction.  This opinion may not be
used or relied upon by or copied, published or communicated to any other party
for any purpose whatsoever without our prior written approval in each instance,
except as may be required by any court or other governmental or regulatory
authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in
connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which this opinion letter
may be relevant.
 
Very truly yours,

[FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S COUNSEL FOR SHELF NOTES]
 
[Letterhead of von Briesen & Roper, s.c.]
 
June 30, 2014

Prudential Investment Management, Inc.
Each Purchaser
c/o Prudential Capital Group
 
Two Prudential Plaza
 
Chicago, Illinois 60601
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel for Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) in
connection with the Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf
Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2014, among the Company, on the one hand, and
Prudential Investment Management, Inc., the Existing Holders (as defined
therein) and each Prudential Affiliate which is named as or may become a party
thereto, on the other hand, (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which
the Company has issued to you today the Series ___ Senior Notes due _______,
20__  (the “Shelf Notes”) of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of
$___________].  All terms used herein that are defined in the Note Purchase
Agreement have the respective meanings specified in the Note Purchase
Agreement.  This letter is being delivered to you in satisfaction of the
condition set forth in paragraph 3B(3) of the Note Purchase Agreement and with
the understanding that you are purchasing the Shelf Notes in reliance on the
opinions expressed herein.
 
In rendering the opinions and confirmations set forth herein, we have examined
originals
or copies of:

 
(i)
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company ("Articles of Incorporation");

 
(ii)
the Bylaws of the Company, as amended ("Bylaws");

 
(iii)
certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company;

 
(iv)
a Certificate of Status for the Company dated ______, 20__, and issued by the
Department of Financial Institutions for the State of Wisconsin

 
(v)
the Note Purchase Agreement and the Shelf Note (the “Operative Documents”); and

 
(vi)
Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2014 by and among the Company, Twin Disc
International, S.A., a Belgian corporation, and Wells Fargo, National
Association.

In addition, we have examined such certificates of public officials,
certificates of officers of the Company and copies certified to our satisfaction
of corporate documents and records of the Company and of other papers as we have
deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinion hereinafter set
forth.  We have without independent investigation relied solely upon such
certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company and the
representations and warranties contained in the Operative Documents with respect
to the accuracy of all factual matters contained therein; nothing, however, has
come to our attention which, to our knowledge, would cause us to believe that
any such factual matters are untrue.  With respect to the opinion expressed in
paragraph 3 below, we have also relied upon the representation made by each of
you in paragraph 9A of the Note Purchase Agreement.
 
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission: that all
items submitted to us as originals are authentic and all signatures thereon are
genuine; all items submitted to us as copies conform to the originals; all items
submitted to us as unexecuted drafts have been submitted to us in final form and
have been or shall be executed substantially in the form provided and without
revision to the obligations of the Company contained therein; all natural
persons, including persons acting on behalf of the business entity, are legally
competent; each such item has been duly executed and delivered by each party
(other than the Company), has been duly authorized by each party (other than the
Company) and constitutes each party’s (other than Company’s) legal, valid and
binding obligations; and there are no agreements, course of dealing, usage of
trade, or other arrangements between any of the parties that would alter the
agreements set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement or the opinions set forth
herein.
 
Based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and
exclusions stated herein, it is our opinion that:
 
1.           The Company is a corporation organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.  To our knowledge, the
Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the ownership of property by it or the nature of the business
conducted thereby makes such qualification necessary.   To our knowledge, the
Company has all requisite corporate power to conduct its business as currently
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted.
 
2.           The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Shelf
Notes.  The Note Purchase Agreement and the Shelf Notes have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and duly
executed and delivered by authorized officers of the Company, and are valid
obligations of the Company, legally binding upon and enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their respective terms.
 
3.           It is not necessary in connection with the offering, issuance, sale
and delivery of the Shelf Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note
Purchase Agreement to register the Shelf Notes under the Securities Act or to
qualify an indenture in respect of the Shelf Notes under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, as amended.
 
4.           The extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit represented by
the Notes do not result in any violation of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
5.           The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the
Shelf Notes, the offering, issuance and sale of the Shelf Notes and fulfillment
of and compliance with the respective provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement
and the Shelf Notes do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any
violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties
or assets of the Company, or require any authorization, consent, approval,
exemption or other action by or notice to or filing with any court,
administrative or governmental body or other Person (other than routine filings
after the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state
Blue Sky authorities) pursuant to, the articles or by-laws of the Company, any
applicable law (including any securities or Blue Sky law), statute, rule or
regulation or, to our knowledge and without having made due inquiry with respect
thereto, any agreement (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement),
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is a party or
otherwise subject.
 
6.           The Company is not (a) an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, or an “investment adviser” within the meaning
of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, (b) a “holding company” of a
“public utility company” of an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005, as amended, or (c) a “public utility” within the meaning of
the Federal Power Act, as amended.
 
7.           To our knowledge, except to the extent disclosed by the Company in
the Operative Documents and Schedules thereto, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any
court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental
authority either (i) with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes or
(ii) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, operations,
prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
 
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications,
limitations, exclusions, and assumptions:
 
Our opinions are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer, equitable subordination, reorganization,
moratorium, bulk transfer or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and to the effect of general principles of equity, including (without
limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and by
limitations on the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies and by public policy considerations which, among other
things, limit or restrict any agreement of Company in the Note Purchase
Agreement relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation of costs,
expenses or liabilities incurred by you in connection with the transactions
contemplated by such documents. Certain of the provisions and remedies provided
for in the Operative Documents may be further limited or rendered unenforceable
to applicable law, but in our opinion such law does not make the remedies
afforded by the Operative Documents inadequate for the practical realization of
the principal benefits intended to be provided (except as otherwise limited by
this opinion and except for the economic consequences of any judicial,
administrative or other procedural delay which may result from such laws).
 
Our opinion set forth in Paragraph 1, above, is based solely upon the
Certificate of Status from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, a
true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
We express no opinion as to any of the following to the extent relevant to the
Operative Documents:
 
i.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Operative Documents making
irrevocable a power of attorney, whether or not coupled with an interest;

 
ii.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Operative Documents prohibiting the
non-written modification of such Operative Documents;

 
iii.  
As to whether or not the Company is in compliance with any financial covenants,
representations or warranties contained in the Operative Documents (except to
the extent the subject matter of such representation or warranty is expressly
addressed in this opinion letter);

 
iv.  
The enforceability of any provision in the Operative Documents waiving the right
to a jury trial, the objection of improper venue, unknown rights or defenses or
any agreement granting subject matter and personal jurisdiction in any court;

 
v.  
The enforceability of any provision requiring the payment of attorneys' fees and
expenses, in an amount in excess of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
actually incurred;

 
vi.  
The enforceability of any provision purporting to shorten any statute of
limitations, or waiving in advance any defense with respect to any statute of
limitations;

 
vii.  
The enforceability of any provision of the Operative Documents granting the
secured party or obligee the unilateral right or discretion to determine
standards or requirements for performance not expressly enumerated in the
Operative Documents, or to establish standards or requirements that are not
commercially (or manifestly) reasonable;

 
viii.  
Any waivers of rights of setoff, or any agreement to setoff debts that are not
liquidated and payable;

 
ix.  
Any provision providing for the right to injunctive relief without a showing of
irreparable harm or injury; and

 
x.  
The enforceability of any material adverse effect (or Material Adverse Effect)
standard.

 
Wherever we indicate that our opinion with respect to the existence or absence
of fact is “to our knowledge” or the like, our opinion is, with your permission,
based solely on the current awareness of facts of the attorneys currently with
our firm who have represented the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.
 
We note that the Operative Documents purport to be governed by the laws of the
State of New York. We are members of the Bar of the State of Wisconsin, and the
opinions expressed herein are based upon and limited exclusively to the laws of
that State and the Federal laws of the United States of America.  We have not
undertaken any research for purposes of determining, and we express no opinion
concerning, the laws or jurisdiction of any other state, whether one or more,
whose laws and requirements apply to the Company or the Purchasers or of any of
the transactions set forth in the Operative Documents. For the purpose of our
opinion herein, we have assumed, with your permission and without any
investigation that the laws of the State of New York are identical to those of
the State of Wisconsin.
 
For purposes of this opinion, “delivery” means the provision of executed
documents by an officer of the Company (or its duly authorized agent) as
executed by such officer pursuant to instructions provided by the Company.  We
do not render any opinion on the delivery of any documents by any other party
the delivery of which is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the
Operative Documents and the completion of delivery by the Company thereunder.
 
We express no opinion that the Note Purchase Agreement specifies a choice of law
that is enforceable.
 
The opinions expressed herein shall be effective only as of the effective date
of this letter.  We do not assume responsibility for updating this letter as to
any date subsequent to the date of this letter, and assume no responsibility for
advising you of any changes with respect to any matters described in this letter
that may occur subsequent to the date of this letter or from the discovery
subsequent to the date of this letter of information not previously known to us
pertaining to events occurring prior to the date of this letter.
 
This opinion is furnished to you solely in connection with the transaction
described above and may not be relied upon by anyone other than you and the
Existing Holders as of the date of this letter and any Transferees, and may be
relied upon only in connection with this transaction.  This opinion may not be
used or relied upon by or copied, published or communicated to any other party
for any purpose whatsoever without our prior written approval in each instance,
except as may be required by any court or other governmental or regulatory
authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in
connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which this opinion letter
may be relevant.

DUMP SITES

Plant 3 Broach Pit.   The Company has identified oil and VOC contamination of
soil and groundwater immediately beneath the building identified as Plant 3.
This contamination is believed to be attributable to operation of the broach
prior to December of 1995. The Company is engaged in ongoing site investigation
and remediation under the auspices of the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (“WDNR”), principally involving free product recovery and monitoring.

Plant 3 Coolant Release.    The Company has identified VOC contamination of soil
at Plant 3 relating to an historical coolant release. The Company is engaged in
