 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the “Bank”) is pleased to advise you that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, it is prepared to extend to Graham Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), an uncommitted discretionary demand line of credit up to an aggregate amount of $7,500,000.00 to be used solely for Performance Standby Letters
of Credit (the “Facility”). This letter agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain facility letter dated October 28, 2020, between the Company and Bank (the “Existing Line Letter”). Nothing in this letter
agreement shall constitute a novation or a termination of the obligations or liabilities under the Existing Line Letter. 
 The Facility. 

The Facility is subject to the provisions set forth herein and in the Standard Trade Terms (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “STT”), which STT can be accessed, read and printed by Company at http://www.gbm.hsbc.com/gtrfstt or alternatively Company can request a copy of the STT from Company’s Relationship
Manager at Bank. Any reference to the “Customer” in the STT shall mean Company. By signing this agreement, Company acknowledges receipt of a copy of the STT and confirms that it has read, understood and accepted such terms and conditions.
To the extent that any terms of the STT (or any document replacing the STT) conflict with the provisions of this agreement then the terms of this agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the STT to the contrary, unless
otherwise expressly provided for herein, Company’s obligations under this agreement with respect to all extensions of credit in respect of the Facility made by Bank shall be payable in the same currency as such extensions of credit. For the
avoidance of doubt, Company shall convert payment to Bank into the same currency in which the extension of credit was made by Bank to Customer. 

Additionally, each issuance of a letter of credit under the Facility shall be issued after Company executes Bank’s applicable standard
form of application related to the Facility in form and substance acceptable to Bank (the “Application”) and shall be issued pursuant to such Application. Company shall pay the fees specified in the pricing schedule set forth in
Schedules A attached hereto and as applicable, as specified therein, in immediately available funds, to Bank, together with Bank’s customary fees and charges specified therein. 

Each letter of credit (“LC”) issued by Bank under the Facility shall have an expiry date acceptable to Bank, which shall generally
be not later than twelve (12) months after such LC’s date of issuance 












 
and set forth in the applicable Application. At Company’s request, Bank may include in the LC an auto-extension (evergreen) provision for one or more automatic extensions of the LC’s
expiry date, subject to Bank in its discretion stopping any future extensions by sending notice to the LC beneficiary (by the period of time specified in the LC) that Bank has elected not to extend such LC for any further period. If for any reason
the Facility shall terminate or shall no longer be scheduled to renew on an annual basis, then not later than the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Facility or (ii) 91 days prior the scheduled maturity or termination of the Facility
(or such shorter period of time as Bank may agree to in writing), Company shall either (a) deliver to, and deposit with, Bank cash collateral in an aggregate amount not less than 105% of the maximum amount that may be drawn under any
contingency under each then outstanding LC or (b) cause another bank or other financial institution acceptable to Bank (in its sole discretion) to issue to Bank one or more irrevocable LCs (in form and substance, and in an amount, acceptable to
Bank in its sole discretion) to reimburse Bank for any drawings under each such LC. Any such cash collateral and deposits provided shall be held under Bank’s exclusive dominion and control (including the exclusive right of withdrawal) as
collateral for the payment and performance of all LC Obligations (as defined below). Company hereby grants to Bank and agrees to maintain a first priority perfected security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts, balances therein, and all
proceeds of any and all of the foregoing to secure the LC Obligations, free and clear of all other security interests, liens, charges, or other encumbrances. As used herein, “LC Obligations” means all present and future obligations of
Company under or in respect of this agreement, the Applications, or the LCs, whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, joint, several or independent, including interest accruing at the rate provided for in any
agreement with Bank on or after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding in respect of Company, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable. 

General Terms of the Facility. 

Borrowings and any other extensions of credit and obligations under the Facility shall be secured by cash collateral maintained in a deposit
account with the Bank, as more fully set forth in the security documentation referred to below. 
 The Facility is subject to annual renewal
by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion on July 31” of each year (or if such day is not a business day, then on the next business day thereafter provided, however, THE CONTINUING AVAILABILITY AND THE AMOUNT OF THE FACILITY SHALL AT ALL
TIMES BE AS DETERMINED BY BANK IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. BANK MAY REDUCE THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE UNDER THE FACILITY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO COMPANY. Either of Company or Bank may terminate all or any portion of the Facility at any
time provided that upon Company’s termination all outstanding amounts shall be immediately due and payable under the Facility with cash or other collateral put in place for any Trade Facility as set forth above. In the event of termination by
either party, Company’s obligations hereunder and under the STT, the Note and the other documentation entered into in connection with the Facility shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts outstanding under the Facility have been
indefeasibly paid in full.

FACILITY, NEITHER THE ENUMERATION IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR IN SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS OF SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS OR COVENANTS TO BANK NOR ANY CONDITIONS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FACILITY SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO QUALIFY, DEFINE OR OTHERWISE LIMIT
(X) BANK’S RIGHT, POWER OR 












 
ABILITY, AT ANY TIME, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO MAKE DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF THE ENTIRE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE FACILITY OR
(Y) BANK’S RIGHT NOT TO MAKE ANY EXTENSION OF CREDIT UNDER THE FACILITY. COMPANY AGREES THAT COMPANY’S BREACH OF, OR DEFAULT UNDER, ANY SUCH ENUMERATED OBLIGATIONS OR FAILURE TO SATISFY ANY CONDITIONS IS NOT THE ONLY BASIS FOR DEMAND
TO BE MADE, AS COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENT SHALL AT ALL TIMES REMAIN A DEMAND OBLIGATION, OR FOR A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BE DENIED BY BANK_ NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER THIS
AGREEMENT NOR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR LNSTRUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FACILITY CREATES OR IMPLIES A COMMITMENT OR AN OBLIGATION BY BANK TO EXTEND CREDIT TO COMPANY AND COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BANK HAS NO OBLIGATION TO EXTEND ANY CREDIT
