SCHEDULE A HERETO: 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 Northern Utilities, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (the “Company”), agrees with each of the purchasers
whose names appear at the end hereof (each, a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”) as follows: 
  

	SECTION 1.	AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. 

 The Company will
authorize the issue and sale of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.42% Senior Notes, Series 2014, due October 15, 2044 (each as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17,
the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1, with such changes therefrom, if
any, as may be approved by each Purchaser and the Company. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless
otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 2.	SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from
the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The
Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 

 

	SECTION 3.	CLOSING. 

 The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser
shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 at 

 
10:00 a.m., Central time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on October 15, 2014 or on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to November 15, 2014 as may be
agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes of the series to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note of such series (or such greater number of Notes of such
series in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of
immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to account number 004622844048 at Bank of America, General Funds, ABA number 026 009 593, for the account of Northern
Utilities, Inc. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such
Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment. 

 

	SECTION 4.	CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. 

 Each Purchaser’s
obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

contemplated by Section 5.14) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have entered into any transaction since the date of the Memorandum that would have been
prohibited by Section 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5 had such Sections applied since such date. 
 Section 4.3.
Compliance Certificates.

and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser, dated the date of the Closing (a) from Pierce Atwood LLP, counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Exhibit 4.4(a) and covering such other matters incident to the

matters incident to such transactions as such Purchaser may reasonably request. 
 Section 4.5. Purchase Permitted By Applicable
Law, Etc. On the date of the Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as

without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation
was not in effect on the date hereof. If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to such matters of fact as such Purchaser may reasonably specify to enable such Purchaser to
determine whether such purchase is so permitted. 
 Section 4.6. Sale of Other Notes. Contemporaneously with the Closing the
Company shall sell to each other Purchaser and each other Purchaser shall purchase the Notes of the series to be purchased by it at the Closing as specified in Schedule A.

Business Day prior to the Closing.

Section 4.11. Proceedings and Documents. All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be satisfactory to such Purchaser and its special counsel, and such Purchaser and its special counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or
certified or other copies of such documents as such Purchaser or such special counsel may reasonably request. 
 Section 4.12.
Regulatory Approvals. The issue and sale of the Notes shall have been duly authorized by order of the NHPUC, the MPUC and such other regulatory authorities as may have jurisdiction, such order(s) shall be in full force and effect at the time of

	SECTION 5.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. 

The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 

Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure
to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to
own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. 

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc. This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 Section 5.3.
Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated July, 2014 (the “Memorandum”),
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This

Agreement, the Memorandum and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
identified in Schedule 5.3, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 (this Agreement, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other writings identified in Schedule 5.3 and such financial statements listed

	SECTION 8.	PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES. 

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Series 2014 Note shall be due and
payable on the Maturity Date thereof. 
 Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as
provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes (but if in part then in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $100,000), at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the
date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. 
 The
Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 15 days and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify
such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the
interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment
(calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior
Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount, if any, as of the specified prepayment date. 

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to
Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore
called for prepayment. 
 Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each optional prepayment of Notes pursuant to
this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to
such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on
such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. 

  
 -18- 

 Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any
Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or
(b) pursuant to an offer to purchase any outstanding Notes made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions; provided that any such offer pursuant
to this clause (b) shall provide each holder with reasonably sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision and shall remain open for at least ten Business Days. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any
Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount. 

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in
no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to
Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

“Discounted Value” means, 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 (applied on the
same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the
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 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. 

  
 -19- 

 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, 0.50% over 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” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such
Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that 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” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due 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,
provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such
Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. 

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be
prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
  

	SECTION 9.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 

 The Company covenants that so long as any
of the Notes are outstanding: 
 Section 9.1. Compliance with Law. Without limiting Section 10.7, the Company will,

regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective

  
 -20- 

 
properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or
the failure to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will insure and keep insured, and will cause every Subsidiary to insure and keep insured, to a
reasonable amount with reputable insurance companies, so much of their respective properties as companies engaged in a similar business and to the extent such companies in accordance with good business practice customarily insure properties of a
similar character against loss by fire and from other causes or, in lieu thereof, in the case of itself or its Subsidiaries, the Company will maintain or cause to be maintained a system or systems of self-insurance which will accord with the
approved practices of companies owning or operating properties of a similar character and maintaining such systems, and of a size similar to that of the Company and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause
to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided
that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that
such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns
required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or
franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary, provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely
basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes,
assessments, charges, levies and claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc.; Ownership of Subsidiaries. (a) Subject to Section 10.4(ii) the Company
will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. Subject to Section 10.4, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries
(unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and
effect such legal existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except pursuant to an action or order by a Governmental Authority, one hundred percent of all of the equity interests (except directors’ qualifying shares) and voting interests of the
Company shall at all times be and remain owned (directly or indirectly) by Unitil. 

  
 -21- 

 Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

Section 9.7. Notes to Rank Pari Passu. The Company will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement and the Notes
will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other senior unsecured Funded Indebtedness of the Company. 

Section 9.8. Guarantors. (a) If, at any time, any Person (other than the Company) (a “Bank Guarantor”) is
required by the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement to become a borrower or obligor under, or to otherwise guarantee Indebtedness outstanding under, the Bank Credit Agreement, then (x) the Company shall, not less than 10 Business Days prior to
the effectiveness thereof, give written notice (a “Section 9.8 Notice”) of such fact to the holders of the Notes, and (y) the Required Holders shall have the right to require the Company to cause such Bank Guarantor to
concurrently (or, with the consent of the Required Holders, thereafter) deliver to each of the holders of the Notes a Guaranty Agreement or joinder agreement in respect of an existing Guaranty Agreement, as appropriate, together with each of the
following items: 
 (i) an executed counterpart of such Guaranty Agreement or joinder agreement in respect of an existing
Guaranty Agreement, as appropriate; 
 (ii) a certificate signed by the President, a Vice President or another authorized
Responsible Officer of such Person making representations and warranties to the effect of those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6 and 5.7, but with respect to such Person and such Guaranty Agreement, as applicable; 

(iii) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that at such time and after giving effect to the
execution and delivery of such Guaranty Agreement or joinder agreement, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(iv) such documents and evidence with respect to such Person as the Required Holders may reasonably request in order to
establish the existence and good standing of such Person and the authorization of the transactions contemplated by such Guaranty Agreement; and 

(v) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Required Holders to the effect that such Guaranty Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding contract and agreement of such Person enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as an enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 

  
 -22- 

 In addition to the foregoing, if the Bank Credit Agreement shall contain (or be amended to contain) covenants,
reporting obligations or events of default related to such Bank Guarantor, then the Company shall deliver an amendment to this Agreement to add similar covenants, reporting obligations and events of default related to such Bank Guarantor for the
benefit of the holders of the Notes, and until such time as such amendment is delivered, this Agreement shall be deemed, without any action on the part of the parties hereto, to be amended to include such additional covenants, reporting obligations
and events of default as if set forth herein in full. If the Bank Credit Agreement shall cease to contain such covenants, reporting obligations or events of default related to such Bank Guarantor, then the Company and the holders of the Notes shall
deliver an amendment to this Agreement to remove such similar covenants, reporting obligations and events of default related to such Bank Guarantor, and until such time as such amendment is delivered, this Agreement shall be deemed, without any
action on the part of the parties hereto, to be amended to exclude such covenants, reporting obligations and events of default as if set forth herein in full.

Section 9.8 and the right of the Required Holders to require the Company to cause such Person to concurrently deliver a Guaranty Agreement hereunder. The Required Holders shall, as soon as practicable after receiving the Section 9.8
Notice, deliver to the Company a written notice (a “Notice of Election”) of their election, if any, to require a Guaranty Agreement hereunder; provided, that failure of the Required Holders to deliver a Notice of Election
prior to the delivery of the guaranty or other obligation under the Bank Credit Agreement shall not preclude the Required Holders from thereafter delivering a Notice of Election and requiring the delivery of a Guaranty Agreement hereunder. 

(b) The holders of the Notes agree to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty Agreement upon the written request of the Company or such
Guarantor; provided that (i) such Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of the Guarantor) under and in respect of the Bank Credit Agreement and (ii) at
the time of such release and discharge and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and the Company shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the holders of the Notes to the effect of the foregoing

additional Funded Indebtedness shall be given such effect, except that if the application of such proceeds involves the redemption of other securities of the Company, and such redemption cannot be made substantially contemporaneously with the
incurrence of such additional Funded Indebtedness, then such intended redemption shall nevertheless be given effect for purposes hereof if either (1) the Company shall have given irrevocable written notice of redemption of such other securities

(h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of
Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If
any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all
the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 
 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or
(b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it
or them to be immediately due and payable. 

  
 -31- 

 Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether
automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default
Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or
further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein
specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that 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. 
 Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the

of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b)
or (c), the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if
(a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue
principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have
become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No
rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of
any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Guaranty Agreement or any Note upon
any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under
Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

	SECTION 13.	REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered
in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment

or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of
Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from
such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 
 (a) in the case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an 

  
 -33- 

 
original Purchaser or another Institutional Investor that is a holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $5,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own
unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, 
 within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated
and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction. 
 Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee
shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all
other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time
specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after
payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by
the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last
date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional
Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and any Guaranty Agreement embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the
subject matter hereof. 
  

	SECTION 17.	AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 

 Section 17.1.
Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required
Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such
Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to

sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions
hereof or of the Notes or any Guaranty Agreement. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 or any Guaranty Agreement to each
holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. 

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or
additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms
and provisions hereof or of any Guaranty Agreement or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then

waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. 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 or any Guaranty Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean
this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company, such Subsidiary, Unitil or Unitil’s Affiliates, provided
that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any
Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under
Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. 
 Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to
(i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and Affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors
and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to

determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Guaranty Agreement after prior written notice provided
to the Company. 
 Any holder of a Note (and any employee, representative or other agent of such holder) may disclose to any and all
Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the taxpayer relating to such tax treatment and tax

 -38- 

 
Confidential Information regarding the operations or finances of the Company, its Subsidiaries, Unitil, and Unitil’s Affiliates. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be
deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of
information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the
provisions of this Section 20. 
 In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its
Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a
secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall
supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 Each Purchaser
shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall

such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other
than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this
Agreement.
