364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On November&nbsp;26, 2008, Unitil Corporation (&#147;Unitil&#148; or &#147;we&#148;) entered into a $60 million,
364-day revolving credit agreement (the &#147;364-Day Credit Agreement&#148;), with Bank of America, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement. This facility replaces certain bilateral credit
agreements with Bank of America and RBS Citizens, N.A. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating annual rate equal to the
daily LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) reported by the British Banking Association plus the applicable margin. We have the option of locking in the daily rate applicable to outstanding loans for one, two, three or six month interest
periods. The &#147;applicable margin&#148; is initially equal to 1.75%, but may be increased over time if we do not meet specified conditions with respect to our equity capital. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, covenants restricting our ability to incur
liens, merge or consolidate with another entity or change our line of business. Further, the 364-Day Credit Agreement contains a covenant restricting our ability to permit long term debt to exceed 65% of our capitalization (as defined in the 364-Day
Credit Agreement) until the 364-Day Credit Agreement terminates and all amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are paid in full. The events of default under the 364-Day Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1)&nbsp;failure to pay outstanding principal or interest, (2)&nbsp;failure of representations or warranties to be correct, in any material respects, (3)&nbsp;failure to perform any other term, covenant or agreement and such failure is not remedied
within 30 days of notice of such failure, (4)&nbsp;a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances, (5)&nbsp;a change of control, (6)&nbsp;non-appealable judgments in excess of an agreed amount, (7)&nbsp;certain defaults on obligations
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or (8)&nbsp;bankruptcy. Such events of default would require the repayment of any outstanding borrowings and the termination of the right to borrow additional funds under the 364-Day Credit
Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The lenders under the 364-Day Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various relationships with us and our subsidiaries involving the

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the base rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. The
&#147;base rate&#148; of interest is the higher of (1)&nbsp;the rate of interest announced publicly by Royal Bank of Canada, from time to time and (2)&nbsp;the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The &#147;Eurodollar Rate&#148; is based on an applicable
LIBOR as increased by statutory reserve requirements. The &#147;applicable margin&#148; is a range of interest rates that varies from 2.50% to 5.00% depending on the remaining term of the borrowings. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants that are substantially similar to those contained in the agreement
relating to the Company&#146;s outstanding unsecured senior notes, including, without limitation, covenants restricting our ability to pay dividends, incur liens, merge or consolidate with another entity. The events of default under the Credit
Agreement include, but are not limited to, the following: (1)&nbsp;failure to pay outstanding principal or interest, (2)&nbsp;failure of representations or warranties to be correct, in any material respects, (3)&nbsp;failure to perform any other
term, covenant or agreement and such failure is not remedied within 30 days of notice of such failure, (4)&nbsp;a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances, (5)&nbsp;a change of control, (6)&nbsp;non-appealable judgments in excess of an

the purchase of Northern Utilities, Inc, (&#147;Northern&#148;) and Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc. (&#147;Granite&#148;), from NiSource Inc. (NYSE:NI). The Purchase Agreement between NiSource and Unitil was originally announced on
February&nbsp;19, 2008. All conditions of the Agreement including the receipt of approvals from state regulatory authorities in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts were completed successfully in November. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Unitil welcomes the Northern and Granite employees, customers and communities to our system,&#148; said Robert G. Schoenberger, Unitil&#146;s Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. &#147;Unitil is positioned as a strong and well-diversified regional utility system serving a variety of attractive and economically diverse communities, including some of the finest small cities in America.&#148; </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With the acquisition, all 81 Northern and Granite employees and 52,000 natural gas distribution customers have become part of the Unitil system. Unitil now employs 430
full time employees and provides energy distribution services to approximately 167,000 customers in 71 cities and towns in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The purchase price was $160 million, plus $41.6 million for working capital, including approximately $33.9 million of natural gas storage inventory. There is no acquisition premium. RBC Capital Markets Corporation served as Unitil&#146;s
financial advisor for the transaction and Royal Bank of Canada is providing bridge financing for the deal. Dewey&nbsp;&amp; LeBoeuf LLP provided legal representation to Unitil. Unitil expects to close on previously committed long term debt financing
of $90 million in early December and to raise additional capital through the issuance of common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>About Unitil </U></FONT></P> <P
