 THIS THIRD AMENDMENT AND LIMITED WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SECURITY AGREEMENT
(this “Third Amendment”), dated as of March 4, 2013, but effective as of December 7, 2012, is among GLOBAL POWER EQUIPMENT GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the GRANTORS (as
defined in the Security Agreement), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender (the “Administrative Agent”) and as Secured Creditor (as defined in the
Security Agreement), and the LENDERS (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below), signing this Third Amendment. 

BACKGROUND 
 A. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2012, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement
and First Amendment to Security Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2012 and that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 19, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) The terms defined in the Credit
Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall be used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement. 
 B. The Borrower has
informed the Administrative Agent that it has consummated an internal re-structuring for treasury purposes (the “Restructuring”) that resulted in the creation of two new subsidiaries: GPEG C.V., a Netherlands limited partnership
(“GPEG C.V.”) and GPEG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPEG, LLC”). Pursuant to the Restructuring, the Borrower contributed 100% of its Capital Stock in Global Power Netherlands BV to GPEG C.V. As a
result of the consummation of the Restructuring, the Borrower holds a 99% limited partnership interest in GPEG C.V. and a 100% membership interest in GPEG, LLC. GPEG, LLC holds a 1% general partner interest in GPEG C.V. 

C. The Investment of the Borrower in GPEG C.V. is not permitted pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement and, once
GPEG, LLC becomes a Credit Party, its investment in GPEG C.V. similarly will not be permitted pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement. The contribution by the Borrower of the Capital Stock of Global Power Netherlands BV to GPEG
C.V. was not permitted by Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement. 
 D. To effectuate the Restructuring, the Borrower
has requested certain amendments to (i) the Credit Agreement and (ii) a schedule to the Security Agreement. 
 E. The
Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree to amend the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
