Ladies and Gentlemen:

Global Water Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (with any successor pursuant to Section 8.2 the “Company”), agrees with Midfirst Bank, a federally chartered savings association (the “Bank” and with the Company the “Parties”), as follows:

The Bank will provide the Company during the Availability Period a revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $8,000,000.00 (the “Revolver”), which will be primarily evidenced by and payable pursuant to this Agreement and a Multiple Advance Note executed by the Company and payable to the order of the Bank in the form of Schedule 1 (the “Revolver Note”). References to a “Schedule” are to a schedule attached hereto, and to a “Section” are to a Section hereof, in either case unless otherwise specified. Some capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A.

SECTION 2. CLOSING. The execution and delivery of the initial Revolver Documents will occur as of the above date (the “Execution Date”) at the offices of Ryley, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, P.C., Suite 1200, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000, at a closing (the “Closing”) on the Execution Date or such later Business Day as may be approved by the Parties.

Section 3.4 Opinion of Counsel. The Bank shall have received an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, dated as of the Closing from Squire Xxxxxx Xxxxx (US) LLP, counsel for the Company, covering the matters in Schedule 3.4 and such other matters incident to the Revolver and Revolver Documents as the Bank may request in Good Faith, and the Company instructs its counsel to deliver such opinion to the Bank.

Section 4.13 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the Revolver only to acquire assets to use in and/or expand its Water Business and for general corporate purposes.

(b)Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.14(B), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit any of its Property, now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness or to cause or permit in the future (on the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its Property, now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness prohibited by this Agreement.

(c)Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness for borrowed money, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including its charter or any other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Indebtedness of the Company, except as disclosed in Schedule 4.14(C).

Section 7.1 Laws.

Section 7.2 Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective Properties and businesses against casualties and contingencies of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations

engaged in the Water Business or a similar business and similarly situated, other than any failure to maintain such insurance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.3 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 7.3 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 could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.4 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, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they become delinquent, and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on Properties 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: (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in Good Faith and 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 (b) the nonfiling or nonpayment, as the case may be, of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.5 Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 8.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.8, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate, limited liability company or other applicable 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 corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.6 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 in conformity in all material respects with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions and dispositions of assets. The Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 7.7 Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a)enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank providing for the guaranty by such Subsidiary, on a joint and several basis with all other such Subsidiaries, of (i) the prompt payment in full when due of all amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Revolver Note (whether for principal, interest or otherwise) and this Agreement, and the Notes if elected by the Company or required by the holders of the Notes, including all indemnities, fees and expenses payable by the Company thereunder, and (ii) the prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge by the Company of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the Revolver Note or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by it;

(b)deliver the following to the Bank (i) an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) a certificate signed by an authorized officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.6, 4.7, 4.10 and 4.11 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty rather than the Company), (iii) all documents reasonably requested by the Bank to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder, and (iv) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Bank covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty as the Bank may reasonably request; and

(c)at the election of the Company and by notice to the Bank, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty and be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the Bank, provided that (i) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or otherwise liable for or in respect of the Term Note Facility and/or any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty) from its liability for or in respect of all such Indebtedness, (ii) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall be existing, (iii) no amount is then due and payable under such Subsidiary Guaranty, (iv) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged from any Indebtedness described in the preceding clause (i) any fee, debt repayment or other consideration is given or paid to any holder of such Indebtedness, the Bank may elect to receive equivalent pro-rata consideration substantially concurrently therewith, and (v) the Company shall simultaneously provide to the Bank a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the matters set forth in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv).

If the Bank makes an election pursuant to the preceding clause (iv), the Bank shall reduce the Commitment by an amount not exceeding the consideration received by

it, and the Company shall make any principal payment on the Revolver necessary to assure the OPB does not exceed the reduced Commitment.

Section 7.8 Collateral. The Company shall take all actions necessary to insure that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, has and continues to have in all relevant jurisdictions duly and validly created, attached, perfected and enforceable first priority Liens on all Collateral. The Company shall cause the Obligation to constitute direct senior secured obligations of the Company and to be senior in right of payment and to rank senior in right of security with respect to all Collateral granted in the Security Documents to all other Indebtedness of the Company; provided, however, if the Company incurs Indebtedness permitted hereunder (including the Term Note Facility) such Indebtedness may be secured equally and ratably with the Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolver Note pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Bank in substance and form, including an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Company and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Holder is compelled to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to clause (vii)(w) (except where disclosure of the purchase of the Revolver is to be made to any supervisory or regulatory body during the normal course of that body’s exercise of its regulatory or supervisory function over such Holder and consistent with such Holder’s usual practice), or clause (vii)(x) or (vii)(y), such Holder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give the Company prompt notice of such pending disclosure provided that the failure to provide such notice will not constitute a violation of this Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Revolver Note, will have agreed to be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 as though it were a named Party. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any Holder of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such Holder, such Holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 16. If as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Holder is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through a secure website, secure virtual workspace or otherwise) different from this Section 16, this Section 16 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Holder and the Company, this Section 16 will supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.


SECTION 17.	MISCELLANEOUS.

If any computation of any financial ratio or requirement in this Agreement would be affected solely by any change in GAAP and the Company or Bank requests, the Parties, shall, at no cost to the Company (other than payment obligations pursuant to Section 11), negotiate in Good Faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change, provided that, until so amended: (i) such ratio or requirement shall be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change; and (ii) the Company shall provide to Bank financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

Section 17.3 Severability.

Payments by Maker to Holder shall be made without deduction of United States withholding or similar taxes. If Maker is required to pay United States withholding or similar taxes, Maker shall pay such taxes in addition to the other amounts due Holder. If Maker fails to make such tax payments when due, Maker shall indemnify Holder for, from and against any liability for such taxes, as well as for any related interest, additions or penalties asserted against or suffered by Holder with respect to such taxes.

12.Interest Limit. All interest and other charges, fees, other things of value and reimbursable costs Maker is or may become obligated to pay or reimburse to Holder in connection with the Revolver, and which constitute “interest” within the meaning of Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 44-1201 et seq., will be items of interest in addition to interest accrued at the Revolver Rate on the OPB, which Maker hereby contracts in writing to pay. If fulfillment of any provision

of any Revolver Document would require Maker to pay amounts in excess of the maximum rate, if any, lawfully collectible under applicable Law, then the obligation of Maker to be fulfilled will be automatically reduced to require the payment of only the maximum amount lawfully collectible and any amount paid in excess of that amount will be applied to the OPB as of the date of payment without prepayment charge.

13.Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Revolver Note.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed this Revolver Note as of the date first written above.
