AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT is made as of May 13, 2011, by and between M&I MARSHALL & ILSLEY BANK, a Wisconsin banking corporation (“M&I”), and TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED, a Wisconsin corporation (“Borrower”).

This Amended and Restated Loan Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that Loan Agreement dated as of December 19, 2002, as amended prior to the date hereof (as so amended and restated, the “Existing Loan Agreement”), by and between M&I and Borrower.

This Amended and Restated Loan Agreement amends and restates and supersedes in its entirety the Existing Loan Agreement. As of the Closing Date, all principal and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be refinanced and paid with the proceeds of the Loans under this Loan Agreement. As of the Closing Date, provided all conditions set forth in Section 2.2 hereof are met, new Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by M&I to Borrower pursuant to this Loan Agreement and such new indebtedness shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note issued under this Loan Agreement.

The Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting all of the terms and provisions therein contained and placing in lieu thereof the terms and conditions contained in this Loan Agreement, it being expressly understood and agreed that all references to the “Loan Agreement” in all agreements, instruments and other documents shall hereafter refer to this Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The Note and the Loan Documents (as such terms are defined herein) and all other documents, instruments and materials heretofore executed and delivered pursuant to the Existing Loan Agreement are deemed amended hereby to refer to, and conform to the changes made by, this Loan Agreement, it being expressly understood and agreed that all references in such documents, instruments and materials to the Loan Agreement shall hereafter refer to this Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The terms of this Loan Agreement shall become effective as of the Closing Date. Upon the Closing Date, any Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be Letters of Credit outstanding under this Loan Agreement. Substantially concurrently herewith, Borrower is executing and delivering to M&I the Note hereinafter identified and defined. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth herein (i) the existing loans evidenced by the note for the revolving credit loans under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be refinanced and paid by the new indebtedness being made under this Loan Agreement and shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note issued under this Loan Agreement, (ii) in addition, the new indebtedness and the Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note issued under this Loan Agreement, and (iii) the Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement shall automatically, without further action on the part of M&I or Borrower, be deemed Letters of Credit issued under this Loan Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed that the Existing Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE LOANS

1.1 Revolving Credit Loans. From time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, M&I agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower. The aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at any one time shall never exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Upon request of M&I, Borrower shall confirm in writing the making of any and all Revolving Credit Loans. All Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, Borrower being obligated, however, to pay the amount of Revolving Credit Loans actually made (including any over-advances), together with interest on the amount which remains outstanding from time to time. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1 subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement. The Revolving Credit Note shall mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

1.2 [Reserved].

1.3 Commitment Fee. As consideration for the Revolving Credit Commitment, Borrower agrees to pay to M&I on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on June 30, 2011, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, an unused fee equal to the Add-On applicable to the Commitment Fee per year on the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment during the preceding quarter or other applicable period.

1.4 Interest. (a) All Revolving Credit Loans shall be LIBOR Loans unless M&I elects to convert such LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to Section 1.13 or Section 1.14 of this Loan Agreement.

(b) In the event that any amount of the principal of, or interest on, the Note is not paid on the date when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the entire principal amount outstanding under the Note shall bear interest, in addition to the interest otherwise payable under such Note and to the extent permitted by Law, at the additional annual rate of three percent (3%) from the day following the due date until all such overdue amounts have been paid in full.

(c) All interest, the unused fee and other amounts due under this Loan Agreement and the Note shall be computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Loan Agreement and the Note is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Loan Agreement or in the Note.

1.5 Interest Options.

(a) Prime Rate Loans. The unpaid principal balance of Revolving Credit Loans which are Prime Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate. The Loans shall only be Prime Rate Loans upon M&I’s election under Section 1.13 or 1.14 hereof. The interest rate for any outstanding Prime Rate Loans shall change on each day that the Prime Rate changes.

(b) LIBOR Loans. The unpaid principal of Revolving Credit Loans which are LIBOR Loans shall bear interest at LIBOR quoted on the first Business Day of any calendar month (and such rate shall be the effective interest rate for the entire calendar month) plus the applicable Add-On for LIBOR Loans. The interest rate for any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are LIBOR Loans shall change on each day that the applicable Add-On for LIBOR Loans changes (as set forth in the definition of Add-On for LIBOR Loans contained in this Loan Agreement) and also as of the first day of each calendar month. The LIBOR interest rate established on the first Business Day of any calendar month shall apply to all LIBOR Loans during that calendar month, whether previously advanced or advanced thereafter.

1.6 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made on written notice or telephonic notice from an authorized representative of Borrower to the Person designated by M&I. Such notice shall be given at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day of the requested borrowing date (which must be a Business Day). Each notice shall specify the date and amount of such Revolving Credit Loan. Each new Revolving Credit Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan unless such Loan has been converted by M&I to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.13 or Section 1.14 of this Loan Agreement. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt, provided that any notice received after 2:00 p.m., Milwaukee time, may be deemed by M&I, in its sole discretion, effective as of the next Business Day. Borrower shall promptly confirm any such telephonic request in writing.

(b) LIBOR Rate Loans shall continue as such unless and until converted into Prime Rate Loans by M&I pursuant to Section 1.13 or 1.14 of this Loan Agreement or repaid.

1.7 Warranty. Each notice of borrowing and each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall automatically constitute a warranty by Borrower to M&I that, on the date of the requested date of such borrowing or request for issuance of a Letter of Credit: (a) all of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Loan Agreement shall be true and correct on such date as though made on such date and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such date.

1.8 Payments. (a) The outstanding unpaid principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. In the event that the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans at any time exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount necessary to reduce such balance to be less than or equal to the then applicable Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b) Interest accrued on all Revolving Credit Loans through the last day of each calendar month (including in the case of the first interest payment, interest accrued from the Closing Date) shall be payable on such last day of each calendar month, commencing on May 31, 2011 and continuing thereafter until all principal of and accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans are repaid in full.

(c) All payments of principal and interest on account of the Note and all other payments made pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be delivered to M&I, 770 North Water Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, Attention: Commercial Loan Department or at such other place as M&I or any holder of the Note shall designate in writing to Borrower, in immediately available funds by 12 noon, Milwaukee time on the date when due, and if received after such time on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made under this Loan Agreement or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the day for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest. Borrower hereby authorizes M&I to debit its deposit accounts at M&I for all payments of principal and interest due and owing on the Loans and for all other payments due and owing under this Loan Agreement.

(d) All payments owed by Borrower to M&I under this Loan Agreement and the Note shall be made without any counterclaim and free and clear of any restrictions or conditions and free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature now or hereafter imposed on Borrower by any governmental or other authority. If Borrower is compelled by Law to make any such deductions or withholdings it will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by M&I after such deductions or withholding shall equal the amount M&I would have received had no such deductions or withholding been required to be made, and it will provide M&I with evidence satisfactory to M&I that it has paid such deductions or withholdings.

1.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the borrowing of Loans on the Closing Date shall be used as provided in the introductory sections of this Agreement.

1.10 Optional Prepayments; Reduction or Termination.

(a) Borrower may, from time to time and without premium or penalty, prepay the Loans in whole or in part. Each partial prepayment shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and in whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days irrevocable written notice to M&I, to terminate or permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that (i) such termination or reduction shall be accompanied by a prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans to the extent that the outstanding principal of the Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, after giving effect to such termination or reduction and (ii) any such reduction shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and in whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) any such reduction shall be a permanent reduction, and the Borrower shall have no right to thereafter increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

1.11 Recordkeeping. M&I shall record in its records the date and amount of each Loan and each repayment of the Loans. The aggregate amounts so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal and interest owing and unpaid on the Note. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Loan Agreement or under the Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans together with all interest accruing thereon.

1.12 Increased Costs. If Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation of general application, or any change therein, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by M&I with any request or directive of general application (whether or not having the force of law) or any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a) shall subject M&I to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loans, the Note, any Letter of Credit or M&I’s obligation to make the Loans or issue Letters of Credit, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to M&I of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts due under this Loan Agreement in respect of the Loans or Letters of Credit or M&I’s obligation to make the Loans or issue Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of M&I); or

(b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to this Loan Agreement), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, M&I; or

(c) shall affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by M&I or any corporation controlling M&I; or

(d) shall impose on M&I any other condition affecting the Loans, the Note or the Letters of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D referred to above, to impose a cost on) M&I of making or maintaining any Loan or issuing Letters of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by M&I under this Loan Agreement or under the Note with respect thereto or with respect to Letters of Credit, then within ten (10) days after demand by M&I (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), Borrower shall pay directly to M&I such additional amount or amounts as will compensate M&I for such increased cost or such reduction. Determinations by M&I for purposes of this Section of the effect of any change in applicable laws or regulations or of any interpretations, directives or requests thereunder on its costs of making or maintaining the Loans or issuing Letters of Credit hereunder, or sums receivable by it in respect of the Loans or Letters of Credit, and of the additional amounts required to compensate M&I in respect thereof, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

1.13 Deposits Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable.

(a) If M&I is advised that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to banks in the relevant market for a one-month period, or M&I otherwise determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank London Eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR; or

(b) If lenders similar to M&I have determined that the LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such lenders of maintaining or funding such LIBOR Loans for a one-month period, or that the making or funding of such LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Loan Agreement which in the opinion of M&I materially affects such LIBOR Loans;

then so long as such circumstances shall continue, M&I shall not be under any obligation to make or continue LIBOR Loans and on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, such LIBOR Loans shall, unless then repaid in full, be converted to Prime Rate Loans.

1.14 Change in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it unlawful for M&I to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then: (a) M&I shall promptly notify Borrower; (b) the obligation of M&I to make or continue LIBOR Loans shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness; and (c) on the last day of the current Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (or, in any event, if M&I so requests, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), the LIBOR Loans shall, unless then repaid in full, be converted to Prime Rate Loans.

1.15 Discretion of M&I as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, M&I shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it sees fit.

1.16 Letters of Credit. (a) From time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Borrower may request, and M&I may issue, Letters of Credit up to an aggregate undrawn face amount of $10,000,000. The aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit shall reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitment. In the event the Borrower does not reimburse M&I in full on the date M&I is required to make a payment with respect to any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have borrowed, as of the date such payment is made, a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the rate option applicable to other Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the amount drawn under such Letter of Credit which shall be used to satisfy the Borrower’s reimbursement obligation with respect to such Letter of Credit. No expiration date of any Letter of Credit shall be beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Borrower shall pay to M&I upon issuance of each Letter of Credit all customary fees, commissions and charges as established by M&I and agreed to by Borrower and execute all letter of credit applications and other agreements as may be required by M&I in connection with the issuance of any letters of credit.

(c) As consideration for issuing Letters of Credit, the Borrower agrees to pay to M&I with respect to each Letter of Credit, a per annum letter of credit fee equal to the Add-On for LIBOR Loans on the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit, payable in advance upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit and, if applicable, upon each anniversary of the issuance date for each Letter of Credit.

3.4 Absence of Conflicting Obligations; Defaults. The making, execution, delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note, and compliance with their respective terms, do not violate any presently existing provision of Law or the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Borrower or any agreement material to the business of Borrower or any Subsidiary to which either Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or by which Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets is bound.

3.5 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed all federal, state, foreign and local tax returns which were required to be filed (subject to any valid extensions of the time for filing), the failure to file of which would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s business or financial condition, and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes owed by it, and no tax deficiencies have been assessed or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed against Borrower or any Subsidiary.

3.6 Absence of Litigation.

3.7 Indebtedness. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has incurred any Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

$40,000,000.00 Milwaukee, Wisconsin

May 13, 2011

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of M&I MARSHALL & ILSLEY BANK, a Wisconsin banking corporation (“M&I”), on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement referred to below) (or such earlier maturity date resulting from acceleration) the principal sum of FORTY MILLION DOLLARS ($40,000,000.00) or such lesser amount of revolving credit loans which are owing from the Borrower to M&I under the Revolving Credit Commitment provided for in the Loan Agreement.

The unpaid principal shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid at an annual rate, computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under the Loan Agreement and this Note is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in the Loan Agreement or in this Note. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance shall be payable on the last day of each month, commencing on May 31, 2011, and continuing thereafter until the outstanding principal balance is repaid in full, with all accrued interest paid with the final payment of principal. Interest will be payable in the amounts in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay such interest.

In the event that any amount of the principal of, or interest on, this Note is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the rate otherwise in effect under the Loan Agreement plus an additional three percent (3%) from the due date until all such overdue amounts have been paid in full.

Payments of both principal and interest and other amounts due hereunder are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the offices of M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, Attention: Commercial Loan Department, 770 North Water Street, Wisconsin 53202, or at such other place as the holder shall designate in writing to the maker.

The makers and all endorsers hereby severally waive presentment for payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by M&I or any subsequent holder, including the reasonable fees of counsel, in connection with the protection and enforcement of the rights of M&I or any subsequent holder of this Note, including without limitation, the collection of any amounts due under this Note and the protection and enforcement of such rights in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings involving the Borrower, both before and after judgment.

This Note constitutes the Revolving Credit Note described in that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof by and between M&I and the Borrower to which Loan Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the Revolving Credit Loans evidenced hereby may be made and a description of the terms and conditions upon which this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part. In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall occur, the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest may be automatically due and payable or may be declared due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement.
