SUPPLEMENTAL CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION AGREEMENT

This Supplemental Construction and Operation Agreement is entered into as of , 2003,, by and among the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, a California public agency (“MPWMD”), Carmel Area Wastewater District (formerly Carmel Sanitary District), a California public agency (“CAWD”), Pebble Beach Community Services District, a California public agency (“PBCSD”), and Pebble Beach Company, a California general partnership (“PBC”), superseding the Wastewater Reclamation Project Construction And Operation Agreement among the parties hereto dated as of November 1, 1990 (“Construction and Operation Agreement”).

RECITALS

A. MPWMD was created in 1977 and authorized to manage and regulate the use, reuse, and conservation of water on the Monterey Peninsula and the bond financing of related public works projects. In furtherance of this authority, in 1990 MPWMD executed a Construction and Operation Agreement among Carmel Area Wastewater District (“CAWD”), the Pebble Beach Community Services District (“PBCSD”), and PBC, and executed a series of Related Agreements with PBC, and with the various users of recycled water, and in 1992 issued Certificates of Participation in the amount of $33.9 million to finance the design and construction of certain water recycling facilities, designed and intended by all parties to be capable of producing, from the secondary effluent emitted from CAWD’s existing wastewater treatment plant, at least 800 acre feet per year of recycled water suitable for irrigation of vegetated areas on the Monterey Peninsula, and related distribution system and irrigation systems, with the intention of “freeing up” potable water that would otherwise be used to irrigate such vegetated areas for other uses and purposes on the Monterey Peninsula. B. CAWD owns and operates, and PBCSD has a contractual right for one third of the capacity of, a wastewater treatment plant which is located on the Monterey Peninsula. Pursuant to the Construction and Operation Agreement dated as of November 1, 1990 among the parties hereto, CAWD and PBCSD, with the participation of PBC, managed the construction of, and now own and operate, water recycling facilities, comprising the “Original Project” as defined herein.

C. The performance of the Original Project ~~recycled water facilities did~~ has not met the expectations ~~perform to the satisfaction of any~~ of the parties, either with regard to quantity or quality, due to a number of factors beyond the consideration or control of any of the parties participating in the Original ~~initial recycled water p~~Project. Prominent among these factors are the salt-sensitivity of the dominant grass species planted in the greens of many of the golf courses, inadequacy of the drainage facilities to conduct accumulated salts away from the greens, smaller than anticipated amounts of secondary effluent due to decreased flows of influent to the CAWD wastewater plant (resulting in part to consumers’ water conservation efforts), increased amount of salinity in the recycled water due to reduced influent flows caused by water conservation efforts, increased ~~amount of~~ salinity added by water softening units (the demand for which increased as the source water became more saline), internal plant processes contributing additional salinity loading, the lack of sufficient data concerning the composition of the secondary effluent produced by the CAWD Wastewater Treatment Plant or concerning the water quality and water quantity requirements for golf course irrigation, and the absence ~~deferring construction~~ of any ~~tank for~~ seasonal storage of recycled water.

D. CAWD and PBCSD are willing to manage the construction of, and operate and maintain, an expanded recycled water project, with CAWD acting as the lead agency, and MPWMD desires that they do so, with financial assistance from PBC as further described in the Supplemental Financing Agreement

E. This Agreement constitutes an integral part of a series of related agreements among PBC, MPWMD, CAWD, and PBCSD and others to provide a reliable, high-quality recycled water supply for irrigation of golf courses and other Recycled Water Irrigation Areas, and thereby to eliminate the use of potable water for irrigation on the Monterey Peninsula.

4. Construction of ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion. CAWD and /PBCSD shall each have ~~joint and several~~ responsibility for design and construction of the respective portions of the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion that each will own and have the responsibility to operate and maintain, subject to the Management Committee’s right to approve decisions relating to the design and construction thereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the matters described in this Section 4. Once PBC has given notice to MPWMD pursuant to Section Three of Ordinance No. 109 that the Supplemental Financial Commitment has been provided, and CAWD and PBCSD each concur in writing that the Supplemental Financial Commitment is available for their use, each shall forthwith commence construction of their respective portions of the Project Expansion and proceed diligently therewith until the Project Expansion is Completed. Neither CAWD nor PBCSD shall not be obligated to commence construction of the Project Expansion until and unless they have received the funds comprising the Supplemental Financial Commitment. ~~[A sentence is to be added here to assure that the Expanded Project~~ ~~will become operational as soon as reasonably possible, perhaps by limiting the quantum of Water Use Permits that can be issued.]~~

(a) With respect to design and construction of the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion, each member of the Management Committee shall be given advance written notice, in reasonable detail, and a reasonable period of time after its receipt of such notice to comment on, and make suggestions with respect to, each of the following actions prior, as applicable, to such action becoming effective or complete: (i) ~~initial design plans, and preliminary construction cost estimates, for the Expanded Project~~ Project Expansion~~; (ii)~~ a construction cost estimate for the ~~Expanded Project~~ Project Expansion, ~~as set forth in a construction budget and other writings,~~ and a contingency for change orders ~~not contemplated by the construction budget~~ in the amount of 5% of such cost estimate (collectively, the “Cost Estimate”); (iii) the approval of final design plans for the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion; (iiiv) the ~~establishment of bid~~ criteria to be used to award ~~for all~~ design and/or construction contracts and subcontracts for the ~~Expanded Project~~ Project Expansion; ~~(v) the preparation of all design and construction contracts for the Project; (vi) the approval and letting of all such contracts and the related subcontracts;~~ (ivii) the establishment of the construction schedule; (v~~iii~~) all construction disbursements; and (vix) the adequacy of all payment and performance bonds and insurance requirements.

The General Manager shall give MPWMD notice of such meetings and one representative of MPWMD may attend each such meeting. The Cost Estimate shall be determined only after the approval and letting of all of the contracts and subcontracts described above. The Management Committee shall engage in best efforts to complete such approval and letting process by , 2003.

(b) After the Management Committee has approved the design and scope of, and construction schedule for, the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion (upon which the Capital Costs have been determined), (i) no material change to such design, scope or construction schedule shall be made by the Management Committee, without the written approval of PBC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) if the net effect of all change orders when aggregated together will exceed 5% of the construction budget, excluding any contingency reserves, for the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion, as a whole, no additional change order in excess of $5,000 may be approved by other than the unanimous vote of the Management Committee. Each entity with representation on the Management Committee and MPWMD shall be designated a third party beneficiary of all construction contracts, and all payment and performance bonds, with respect to the construction of the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion.

(c) All Capital Costs incurred and approved, in the manner described in subsections (a) and (b) above, with respect to construction of the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion shall be paid by PBC from the proceeds of the sales of portions of its potable water entitlements by providing to CAWD/PBCSD an amount equal to the Cost Estimate. CAWD/PBCSD shall deposit such amount in an interest bearing account, and shall invest the portion thereof which is not, at the time, required to make construction disbursements pursuant to the criteria described in Section 7 hereof. The interest earned on such amount shall be deposited in such account. Upon the approval of a construction disbursement pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) hereof, the General Manager shall have the right to pay such disbursement from such account. On or before the 15th day of each calendar month, or portion thereof, during the period beginning with the construction of the Project and ending with the last payment of a construction disbursement, CAWD/PBCSD shall submit to MPWMD and PBC an accounting, in such format and with such detail as shall be acceptable to MPWMD and PBC, of the construction disbursements made during such month. Upon payment of all the required construction disbursements, CAWD/PBCSD shall promptly return to PBC the balance, if any, in such account.

(d) Each owner of a Recycled Water Irrigation Area shall be the owner of the Irrigation System constructed on the Recycled Water Irrigation Area it owns and shall operate and maintain such Irrigation System and be responsible for all expenses related to the operation, maintenance and repair of such Irrigation System.

(e) CAWD/PBCSD shall (i) timely file and diligently prosecute all applications for all applicable permits and governmental approvals and authorizations necessary to construct the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion, and to operate the Project, in the manner contemplated or required by this Agreement, (ii) timely satisfy and comply with all terms and conditions of all such permits, approvals and authorizations, and (iii) at all times maintain such permits, approvals and authorizations in full force and effect. Such permits, approvals and authorizations shall include, without limitation, those permits, approvals and authorizations actually required by the California Coastal Commission, the County of Monterey, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District and the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. CAWD/PBCSD shall also timely obtain, comply with all of the terms and conditions of, and maintain in full force and effect all private rights and consents necessary to construct and operate the Project in the manner contemplated or required by this Agreement.

5. Operation of Project.

5.1 Management of Project. CAWD/PBCSD shall~~, jointly and severally,~~ have responsibility for management, operation and maintenance of the Project, subject to the rights of each member of the Management Committee to receive financial data (both projected and historical) concerning the Project, and to review, and comment upon, decisions related to such financial data and the management, operation and maintenance of the Project, including, without limitation, with respect to the matters described in this Section 5.

5.2 Budgeting and Financial Accounting for Project.

(a) The Management Committee shall cause to be developed, and shall approve, an annual budget for the Project for each fiscal year, whether partial or full, after the date first set forth herein, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of such year. The annual budget for the Project shall be prepared based upon projections of Operating Revenues to be received and Operation and Maintenance Expenses to be incurred by MPWMD and CAWD/PBCSD. MPWMD shall cooperate with the Management Committee in its budgeting efforts by expeditiously providing to the Management Committee, at its request, a projection of Operating Revenues that MPWMD expects to receive, and Operation and Maintenance Expenses that MPWMD expects to incur, during the applicable year. The annual budget for the first partial and the first full fiscal year of the Project shall be submitted to MPWMD for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, promptly after it has been approved by the Management Committee.

(b) In calculating the projected and actual Operation and Maintenance Expenses for any year: (i) no item of administrative or other overhead expense of any of the Public Participants, other than such reasonable expenses which relate to the Project, shall be included in the calculation of Operation and Maintenance Expenses without the prior written consent of each of the members of the Management Committee who is not a representative of such Public Participant, with the exact amount of any such includable expenses to be determined by the Management Committee; (ii) Operation and Maintenance Expenses shall only include an allowance for depreciation, amortization and obsolescence (established in the first annual budget for the Project) which is determined pursuant to generally accepted utility practices, but is limited to an amount sufficient to create, over the original term of the Certificates of Participation, a sinking fund for replacement and renovation which shall not exceed $[ ], and such allowance shall not be modified if the Certificates of Participation are prepaid for any reason, [provided that any limitation set on the amount of the sinking fund in this subsection (ii) shall be removed after the Certificates of Participation have been fully paid, or twenty (20) years after the date set forth above, whichever is later, and thereafter Operations and Maintenance Expenses will include an allowance for depreciation, amortization and obsolescence to be determine pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, and such allowance shall be deposited into a Capital Outlay Reserve Fund to be held and maintained by CAWD/PBCSD to finance future capital outlay replacement requirements]; and (iii) no debt service obligation on the Certificates of Participation shall be included.

(c) Each of the members of the Management Committee shall continue to have the right to participate in the development of the annual budget for the Project. Only expenses provided in a budget for the Project, or approved in writing by-each member of the Management Committee, shall be deemed to constitute Operation and Maintenance Expenses. CAWD shall submit to each member of the Management Committee (i) with-respect to the first partial and the first full fiscal year of the Project, and for each fiscal year thereafter, if, during the immediately prior fiscal year, the results of operations (i.e. difference between Operation and Maintenance Expenses and Operating Revenues) of the Project reflect a negative difference from the results of operations projected in the budget for such fiscal year (an “Operating Short-Fall”), unaudited monthly financial statements of the Project, accompanied by an unqualified certificate of the chief financial officer of CAWD (an “Officer’s Certificate”), on or before the 15th day after each such month, (ii) with respect to each fiscal year for the Project not described in clause (i) above, unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Project, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, on or before the 30th day after each such quarter, (iii) with respect to each fiscal year of the Project, audited annual financial statements of the Project, accompanied by an unqualified certificate of the auditing firm approved by the Management Committee, on or before the 45th day after the end of each fiscal year, and (iv) such other written information with respect to the Project as may be reasonably requested by such person, including, without limitation, such information as may be necessary to make a proper accounting to PBC with respect to its obligations in connection with the Financial Commitment, as defined in the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, within a reasonable period of time after it is requested. Each of such financial statements shall consist of a balance sheet, as of the end of the applicable period, and an income statement and statement of changes in financial position, for such applicable period, and shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

(d) Each of the members of the Management Committee shall continue to have the right to (i) receive initial drafts of each annual budget with respect to the Project at the same time such draft is first made available to the General Manager or Board of Directors of CAWD or PBCSD, (ii) receive the proposed final draft of each such annual budget at least 30 days before it is submitted to the Management Committee for its approval, (iii) make comments to such General Manager and the Management Committee with respect to each such draft of the annual budget and each of the financial statements for the Project which it has the right to receive, and (iv) review and audit, or cause its designated representatives to review and audit, the books and records with respect to the Project, at its own expense, during the business hours of CAWD, upon reasonable advance notice of its intention to do so having been given to the General Manager.

(e) Any member of the Management Committee may continue to request, from time to time, the General Manager to prepare projections of the operating results of the Project through the end of the then fiscal year of the Project. Upon receiving such request, the General Manager shall engage in best efforts to prepare and deliver such projections to each member of the Management Committee within 30 days of receiving such request. In the event that any such projections reveal that it is likely that the results of operations of the Project for such year will involve an Operating Short-Fall, at the request of any member of the Management Committee, the Management Committee shall retain a consulting engineer to review the operation and maintenance of the Project and to make recommendations with respect thereto. If requested by PBC, the Management Committee shall cause the Project to promptly comply with all such recommendations which are reasonable. The charges of such consulting engineer(s) shall be paid by CAWD/PBCSD and shall be deemed to be an Operation and Maintenance Expense.

(f) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (c) above, in the event the results of operations for any fiscal year of the Project, based upon the results of operations of the Project through the first nine months of such year projected through the end of such year, reflects a $100,000, or greater, Operating Short-Fall, PBC and MPWMD shall each have the right to approve the budget for the immediately succeeding fiscal year of the Project.

(g) In addition to the preparation of the annual budget for the Project described above, CAWD/PBCSD and MPWMD shall each continue to maintain separate accounts and budgets with respect to the Operating Revenues each it receives and the Operation and Maintenance Expenses it incurs.

(h) The budgeting process described in this Section 5.2 shall be utilized as the basis for determining the projected and actual Net Operating Deficiency (as such term is defined in the Supplemental Financing Agreement) for purposes of the Supplemental Financing Agreement.

5.3 Standards of Operation.

(a) The Project shall be owned, operated, maintained and serviced by CAWD and /PBCSD in accordance with applicable regulations, good engineering practice and prudent business practices so as to produce Recycled Water as defined herein from the Project and CAWD and /PBCSD shall deliver such Recycled Water to the Recycled Water Irrigation Areas in quantities sufficient to irrigate ~~all portions of~~ the Recycled Water Irrigation Areas without the addition of any potable water thereto (except during an Interruption as defined herein). ~~; provided, however, n~~Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall CAWD/PBCSD be obligated to produce Recycled Water in amounts in excess of the then currently designed capacity of the Project, subject to availability of adequate quantities of wastewater influent. Recycled Water produced by the Project shall be suitable for irrigation of all portions of the Recycled Water Irrigation Areas (including golf courses) and otherwise meet all regulatory and health standards for such usage. Each Owner of a Recycled Water Irrigation Area, upon entering a Sale Agreement with MPWMD as described in Section 1.25 (c) hereof, shall be an intended beneficiary of this Agreement so as to enable it to enforce the requirements set forth in the ~~two~~ preceding sentences against CAWD/PBCSD, who shall be ~~jointly and severally~~ responsible therefor with respect to their respective responsibilities concerning the operation and maintenance of the Project.

(b) The General Manager shall cause an annual inspection of the Project to be performed, during the last month of each fiscal year of the Project, by a consulting engineer acceptable to the Management Committee, and a report of such engineer to be delivered to each member of the Management Committee, on or before the 45th day of the ensuing year. In the event that operating or other deficiencies are disclosed in any such report, at the request of PBC, CAWD/PBCSD shall promptly cause measures necessary to correct such deficiencies to be implemented. The charges of such consulting engineer shall be paid by CAWD/PBCSD and shall be deemed to be an Operation and Maintenance Expense.

5.4 Insurance.

(a) CAWD/PBCSD shall continue to obtain and maintain in effect insurance with respect to the Project and the operation of the Project, with such coverages (including with respect to risks, amounts and deductibles) as may be available in the marketplace, and placed through such brokers and with such insurance companies, as all members of the Management Committee may agree, or in the absence of such agreement, as PBC may request, from time to time, be obtained and maintained, including, without limitation, business interruption or similar insurance. In recognition that the Project is dependent upon the continued operation of the facilities, now or to be owned by CAWD and PBCSD, involved with the treatment of effluent (the “Existing Facilities”), each of CAWD and PBCSD shall (i) make all reasonable efforts to maintain in place its present insurance coverages (including with respect to risks, amounts and deductibles) for such facilities, (ii) promptly provide to all members of the Management Committee and MPWMD such information concerning the insurance in place with respect to such facilities, including, without limitation, a copy of each policy evidencing such insurance, and the risks of operating such facilities, as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by any member of the Management Committee or MPWMD, and (iii) purchase such additional insurance with respect to such facilities and the operation of the Project, including, without limitation, business interruption or similar insurance, as may be available in the marketplace, and is placed through such brokers and with such insurance companies, as is requested by PBC, from time to time, with the incremental additional cost for such additional insurance to be reimbursed to CAWD and PBCSD from the revenues generated by the Project and deemed to be an Operation and Maintenance Expense. Each insurance policy in place with respect to the Project or the Existing Facilities, or the operation of either, shall (i) name CAWD/PBCSD, CAWD, PBCSD, PBC and MPWMD as an additional insured thereunder and (ii) shall provide that it may not be terminated or amended or otherwise modified, in any material respect, without each additional insured thereunder being given at least 30 days prior written notice of such termination, amendment or modification. Upon the initial placement and the . renewal of each such insurance policy, the Public Participant which has obtained such policy shall provide each member of the Management Committee and MPWMD with a copy of such policy. Upon the request, from time to time, of any member of the Management Committee or MPWMD, the Public Participant which has obtained any such insurance policy shall provide to such person or entity a certificate of insurance with respect to such policy.

(b) In the event that a casualty should occur to any improvement constituting all or a portion of the Project or the Existing Facilities, CAWD/PBCSD, CAWD or PBCSD, as the case may be, shall use the proceeds of any of the insurance described in Section 5.4(a) above, which is available as a result of such casualty, to expeditiously repair or rebuild such improvement.

5.5 Payment of Operation and Maintenance Expenses.

(a) MPWMD shall be responsible for paying all of the Operation and Maintenance Expenses of the Project and shall pay such expenses of CAWD and/ PBCSD in the manner provided in this subsection; provided, however, any Operating Revenues received by ~~CAWD/PBCSD,~~ CAWD or PBCSD shall be devoted to Operation and Maintenance Expenses and shall reduce any corresponding obligation of MPWMD for the payment thereof.

[If the actual expenses exceed the advance payment in any quarter, CAWD/PBCSD will submit a written request to MPWMD for an advance of the next quarter’s scheduled payment. Upon receipt of the request, MPWMD will make the following quarter’s scheduled payment in advance of the scheduled date. If all four quarters’ scheduled advance payments are already made and CAWD/PBCSD still anticipates a cash shortage, it will prepare appropriate budget adjustments for the approval of the Management Committee. Upon approval of the budget adjustments, MPWMD will provide additional money from the Water Sale Revenue Account. If there are funds in excess of $10,000 remaining in the Project’s O&M Account at the end of any quarter, they shall be remitted back to MPWMD.]

Within five Business Days of MPWMD’s receipts of the budget (as approved pursuant to this Agreement) for any fiscal year of the Project, but in no event earlier than the 20th day of such fiscal year, MPWMD shall pay to CAWD/PBCSD an amount equal to 35% of the Operation and Maintenance Expenses of CAWD/PBCSD which are projected in such budget. On or before the 20th day of each of the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year of the Project, MPWMD shall pay to CAWD/PBCSD an amount equal to 25%, 25% and 15%, respectively, of such Operation and Maintenance Expenses. The amount of each such payment with respect to a quarter shall be reduced by the difference, as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter, between the aggregate of such payments made to CAWD/PBCSD by MPWMD and the aggregate of the Operation and Maintenance Expenses actually and properly incurred by CAWD/PBCSD pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent such difference, as of the last day of any quarter, less any previous repayments by CAWD/PBCSD to MPWMD pursuant to this subsection, is in excess of the payment which MPWMD is obligated to make to CAWD/PBCSD with respect to the immediately succeeding quarter, CAWD/PBCSD shall repay such excess to MPWMD on or before the 20th day of such succeeding quarter. Each such payment to CAWD/PBCSD by MPWMD shall be deemed to constitute an advance of Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the quarter with respect to which the payment is made and shall be deposited by CAWD/PBCSD in a separate account from which only such expenses are to be paid. All interest earned on the sums deposited in such account shall be deemed, for purposes of this subsection, to constitute a payment by MPWMD to CAWD/PBCSD pursuant to this subsection. In the event any of the fiscal years of the Project is a partial fiscal year, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith the percentage of the Operation and Maintenance Expenses projected to be incurred by CAWD/PBCSD during such fiscal year, as shown in the approved budget for such fiscal year, to be paid by MPWMD with respect to each of the quarters, whether partial or full, during such fiscal year, and such percentages shall be consistent with the front-end loaded payment concept followed by the parties with respect to a full fiscal year. Within 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, CAWD/PBCSD shall repay to MPWMD the balance in such account, after deducting any amount necessary to pay any Operation and Maintenance Expense which CAWD/PBCSD has actually and properly incurred pursuant to this Agreement prior to such termination.

(b) [The O&M Reserve Fund shall be transferred to and remain under the control of CAWD/PBCSD. The O&M Reserve Fund shall be used as the first source of working capital when operating revenues are insufficient to pay for the project expenses, including O&M expenses, bond carrying costs, and the annual contribution to the capital outlay fund. The O&M Reserve Fund will not be used for payment of principal or interest of the certificates. CAWD/PBCSD shall select appropriate investment vehicles which will allow immediate use of the O&M Reserve Fund in case a need arises. If at anytime, all or any portion of the O&M reserve fund is spent to pay for the project expenditures, MPWMD shall pay CAWD/PBCSD sufficient amounts to replenish it, as soon as water sale revenue becomes available. Replenishment of the O&M Reserve Fund to its full value will take precedence over using water sale revenue for the certificate interest or principal payments. ]

(c) On or before the 15th day after each calendar month, or portion thereof, after the date first set forth above, CAWD/PBCSD shall submit to each member of the Management Committee an accounting, in such format and with such detail as shall be acceptable to each such member, of the Operation and Management Expenses incurred with respect to the Project, and any payment of such expenses made, during such month. CAWD/PBCSD shall also submit to MPWMD a copy of each such accounting on the same date it submits such accounting to the members of the Management Committee.

(dc) Cost accounting procedures for, and qualifying categories of, Operation and Maintenance Expenses will be established, and memorialized in writing, by the mutual agreement of each of the parties hereto and attached hereto, as an exhibit, upon such writing having been prepared. The parties shall each use its best efforts, on a good faith basis, to reach such mutual agreement and memorialize such agreement by , 2003.

The General Manager shall be responsible, as well, for preparing payment requests for Capital Costs and Operation and Maintenance Expenses.

6.3 Management Agreement. So long as any of the Certificates of Participation, or any bonds or certificates of participation issued to refinance the Certificates of Participation, are outstanding, CAWD and PBCSD shall make no amendments to the Management Agreement which could, at the time or in the future, impair the ability of CAWD/PBCSD to perform any of its/their joint and several obligations hereunder or under any of the Related Agreements or adversely affect any of the rights of PBC or MPWMD hereunder, under the Supplemental Financing Agreement or under any of the Related Agreements.

7. Investment of Operating Revenues. All Operating Revenues of the Project, including, without limitation, those held by CAWD/PBCSD pursuant to Section 5.5(a) hereof as an advance against Operation and Maintenance Expenses of CAWD/PBCSD, shall be invested in a manner designed to maximize the investment return on such funds (under the circumstances, given the amount of the funds involved, and the time by which such funds are required to be expended), subject to applicable legal investment and/or tax law limitations and the investment criteria agreed upon by PBC and MPWMD pursuant to the Supplemental Financing Agreement.

8. Certain Rights of PBC.

PBC and other parties have ~~has~~ advanced funds for expenditures with respect to design, engineering and other matters incident and preparatory to the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion, including, without limitation, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with the ~~Expanded~~ Project Expansion and its implementation and this Agreement, and each Related Agreement , and each shall have the right, but not the obligation, to continue to advance funds for such expenditures. PBC has raised these funds comprising the Supplemental Financial Commitment through sales of portions of its potable water entitlement (to individual Del Monte Forest residential property owners who have agreed to invest in the Project). ~~Accordingly, all such expenditures incurred by PBC shall not be eligible for reimbursement as Capital Costs of the~~ ~~Expanded Project~~ ~~from the proceeds of sales of Recycled Water.~~ ~~Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to apply to the reimbursement of Operating Costs of the~~ ~~Expanded~~ ~~Project from the sales of Recycled Water, provided that doing so does not in any way adversely affect repayment of the Certificates of Participation.~~

9. Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

9.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties. PBC, PBCSD, CAWD and MPWMD each hereby represents and warrants to the other that:

11. Remedies for Breach.

11.1 Termination and Damages. In the event that CAWD/PBCSD breaches, in any material respect, any of its representations and warranties or covenants in this Agreement, PBC shall have the right, in addition to all other remedies it may have under law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement, 30 days or more after CAWD/PBCSD receives written notice of such termination, specifying such breach in reasonable detail, if such breach is not cured by CAWD/PBCSD during such 30-day period. In the event any party to this Agreement breaches, in any material respect, any of its representations and warranties or covenants in this Agreement, either of the other parties hereto shall have the right to bring an action against the breaching party for damages arising out of, or resulting from, such breach, 30 days or more after the breaching party receives written notice of the other party’s intention to bring such action, specifying such breach in reasonable detail, if such breach is not cured by the breaching party during such 30-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a cure of any such breach by any party hereto cannot practicably be effected within such 30-day period, and the breaching party, upon receiving such written notice, promptly initiates efforts to cure such failure and diligently pursues such cure, the other party shall not have the right to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1 unless such cure is not effected within 90 days after the breaching party receives such written notice.

11.2 Remedies Under ~~Supplemental Financing~~Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement. In the event that either CAWD or PBCSD breaches any of its representations and warranties or covenants in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, then so long as such breach continues, PBC’s obligations under the ~~Supplemental Financing~~ Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with respect to any NOD Letter of Credit shall not be enforceable.

11.3 Equitable Remedies. Notwithstanding any implication in Section 11.1 above to the contrary, each of the parties hereby acknowledges that the other parties may have no adequate remedy at law if such party breaches any of its obligations hereunder, and, accordingly, each of the parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have hereunder or at law, to obtain, in any court of competent jurisdiction, injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach hereof by any other party or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the provisions hereof involved in any such breach or threatened breach.

12. Indemnification.

12.1 Protection of Parties. Subject to the limitations in this Section 12, each party shall defend and indemnify, and hold harmless, each of the other parties from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, and costs or expenses suffered or incurred by such other party, arising out of, or resulting from, any breach of its representations, warranties or agreements set forth in this Agreement. In particular, CAWD/PBCSD shall, to the extent of their respective responsibility therefor~~jointly and severally~~, indemnify, defend, and hold MPWMD harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, and costs or expenses resulting from the breach of its/their ~~joint and several~~ respective obligations under sections 2.2(b), 5.3 (a), and 9.2(d) of this Agreement.

12.2 Procedure For Indemnification. In the event that any legal proceedings are instituted, or any claim or demand is asserted, by any third party which may give rise to any damage, liability, loss, or cost or expense in respect of which any party has indemnified any of the other parties under Section 12.1 hereof, the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party written notice of the institution of such proceedings, or the assertion of such claim or demand, promptly after the indemnified party first becomes aware thereof; provided, however, any failure by the indemnified party to give such notice on such prompt basis shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder unless such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to utilize counsel of its choice in connection with such proceeding, claim or demand, subject to the approval of the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and to defend against, negotiate with respect to, settle or otherwise deal with such proceeding, claim or demand; provided, however, that no settlement of such proceeding, claim or demand shall be made without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, pursuant to the terms and conditions of such settlement, the indemnified party shall be released from any liability or other exposure with respect to such proceeding, claim or demand; and provided, further, that the indemnified party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense, in the event, or to the extent, the indemnifying party elects not to, or fails to, defend such proceeding, claim or demand and the indemnified party defends against, settles or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, any settlement thereof may be made without the consent of the indemnifying party if it is given written notice of the material terms and conditions of such settlement at least ten days prior to a binding agreement with respect to such settlement being reached. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such proceeding, claim or demand.

12.3 Payment of Indemnified Claims. Upon a final judgment or award with respect to any proceeding of the nature described in Section 12.2 hereof having been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which an appeal therefrom may be made (a “Final Judgment”), or a settlement of such proceeding, claim or demand having been consummated, or the parties having arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter indemnified hereunder, the indemnifying party shall forthwith pay all of the sums so owing to the indemnified party. In the event any such proceeding is brought, in which allegations of fault are made against both of the parties, the extent of any indemnification shall be determined in accordance with the findings of the court as to the relative contribution by each of the parties to the damage suffered by the party seeking indemnity with respect to such proceeding.

12.4 Securities Law Indemnification. Subject to the limitations in this Section 12, each party shall defend and indemnify, and hold harmless, each of the other parties from and against any and all expenses suffered or incurred by such other party as a result of any written information provided by the indemnifying party for inclusion in any of the COP Documents, as defined in the Supplemental Financing Agreement, or any COP Document prepared by the indemnifying party (except with respect to the portion thereof prepared based on written information provided by other than the indemnifying party for inclusion in such COP Document), containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make such written information or COP Document not misleading.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to execute, and deliver to the other parties, such documents and instruments, and take such actions, as may reasonably be required to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, such covenant shall not have the effect of increasing the obligations of any party pursuant to this Agreement or require any representations and warranties by any party in addition to those of such party set forth herein.

13.2 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a joint venture, partnership or principal-agent relationship between, or among any of the parties.

No waiver of any right or obligation of any of the parties shall be effective unless in a writing, specifying such waiver, executed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. A waiver by any of the parties of any of its rights under this Agreement on any occasion shall not be a bar to the exercise of the same right on any subsequent occasion or of any other right at any time.

13.15 No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights.
