	Amended
and Restated Loan Agreement	 






 


THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is entered into as of April 29, 2015, between MIDDLESEX
WATER COMPANY, PINELANDS WASTEWATER COMPANY, PINELANDS WATER COMPANY, TIDEWATER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC., TIDEWATER
UTILITIES, INC. UTILITY SERVICE AFFILIATES (PERTH AMBOY) INC., UTILITY SERVICE AFFILIATES INC., and WHITE MARSH
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. (individually and collectively, the “Borrower”), with an address at 1500
Ronson Road, Iselin, NJ 08330-3020, and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”), with an
address at Two Tower Center Boulevard, East Brunswick, New Jersey 08816. This Loan Agreement amends, restates and replaces
(but does not constitute a novation of or affect the status or lien priority of any liens or security interest granted
pursuant to) an existing Letter Agreement between Middlesex Water Company and the Bank dated August 27, 2001 (as amended,
modified, extended or renewed from time to time, the “Existing Loan Agreement”), and the Borrower’s
execution of this Loan Agreement constitutes a ratification and confirmation of all liens and security interest granted under
or pursuant to the Existing Loan Agreement.


 


The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent
to be legally bound, agree as follows:


 


1.           Loan.
The Bank has made or may make one or more loans (“Loan”) to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions
and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement. Each Loan is or will be evidenced
by a promissory note or notes of the Borrower and all renewals, extensions, amendments and restatements thereof (whether one or
more, collectively, the “Note”) acceptable to the Bank, which shall set forth the interest rate, repayment and
other provisions of the respective Loan, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.


 


The Loan governed
by this Agreement shall include, but is not limited to, the following, together with any additional lines of credit or term loans
that Bank may, in its sole discretion, make to Borrower in the future (each additional line of credit or term loan shall be referred
to as an “Additional Loan” and shall be a Loan governed hereby):


 


1.1            Line
of Credit. One of the Loans governed by this Agreement is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrower
may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will make advances to the Borrower from time to
time until the Expiration Date, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $20,000,000.00 (the “Line
of Credit”). The “Expiration Date” shall mean January 31, 2016, or such later date as may be
designated by the Bank by written notice from the Bank to the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will
the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Line of Credit beyond the Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of advances under the Line of Credit exceed the face amount of the Line of Credit. Advances under the Line
of Credit will be used for working capital or other general business purposes of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary stated in the note evidencing the Line of Credit, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Line
of Credit, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance
thereof to zero, for a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive days prior to the original Expiration Date, and annually thereafter
if the Expiration Date is extended, at the Bank’s sole discretion.


 


2.           Security.
The security for repayment of the Loan shall include but not be limited to the collateral, guaranties and other documents heretofore,
contemporaneously or hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank (the “Security Documents”), which shall secure
repayment of the Loan all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to
the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present
or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement
of any insolvency,

reorganization
or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such
proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint
or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other
instrument; (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document; (iii) for the payment of money; (iv) arising by reason of
an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee; (v) under any interest or currency swap,
future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement; (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction,
forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency,
or in any other manner; or (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether
by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank
to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account,
or out of the Bank’s non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository
or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs
and expenses of the Bank incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection
with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Obligations”). Unless expressly provided to the contrary in documentation for any other loan or loans, it is
the express intent of the Bank and the Borrower that all Obligations including those included in the Loan be cross- collateralized
and cross-defaulted, such that collateral securing any of the Obligations shall secure repayment of all Obligations, and a default
under any Obligation shall be a default under all Obligations.


 


This Agreement,
the Note, the Security Documents and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant or subject hereto, as
each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.


 


3.           Representations
and Warranties. The Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties, which shall be continuing in nature

operations for the period specified therein. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect from time to time (“GAAP”) consistently applied from period to period, subject

or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other waste, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances,
solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise. Except as otherwise disclosed on the

or internal auditors or regulatory authorities, and (iii) not to use such Confidential Information except in connection with the
Obligations and for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
to protect such Confidential Information shall be satisfied if the party receiving such Confidential Information utilizes the same
control (but no less than reasonable) as it does to avoid disclosure of its own confidential and valuable information. It is also

or any third party, together with all memoranda, analyses, compilations, studies, notes, records, drawings, manuals or other documents
or materials which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing information.


 


Each of the
Borrower and the Bank agrees to return to the other or destroy all Confidential Information of the other upon the termination of
this Agreement; provided, however, each party may retain such limited information for customary archival and audit purposes only
for reference with respect to prior dealings between the parties subject at all times to the continuing terms of this Section
10.13.


 


Each of the Borrower and the
Bank agrees not to use the other's name or logo in any marketing, advertising or related materials, without the prior written consent

may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates (in connection with this Agreement
or otherwise) by the Bank or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of the Bank or of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.,
and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to share any information delivered to the Bank by the Borrower and/or its subsidiaries

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., subject to any provisions of confidentiality in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
