SUPPLEMENTAL
FINANCING AGREEMENT
This Supplemental Financing
Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on
, 2004, by
and between the MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, a
RECITALS
A. As is described in greater detail in MPWMD Ordinance No. 109, pursuant to statutory authority, beginning in 1989 MPWMD entered into a series of interrelated agreements with various parties for the finance, design, construction, and operation of facilities comprising the Original Project as herein defined, for the production and use of recycled water in lieu of potable water for irrigation of vegetated areas within the Del Monte Forest area of the Monterey Peninsula.
B. One such agreement, which is presently and shall remain in effect as amended when this Agreement becomes effective by its terms, was the Wastewater Reclamation Project Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement dated as of October 3, 1989, as amended to the date hereof (“Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement”). The Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement implemented the selected method of financing the Original Project by designating PBC as the Fiscal Sponsor to guarantee all costs of designing, constructing, equipping, and operating the Original Project in exchange for the “Water Entitlement” as defined in Ordinance No. 39, and as granted in the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement.
C. Thus,
in the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, PBC undertook the obligation to guarantee
payment of the costs of the Original Project, and MPWMD granted and dedicated a
Water Entitlement in the cumulative amount of 380 acre feet (“af”) annually for
use within the Del Monte Forest on the “Benefited Properties” described in
Exhibit “A” to the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement as subsequently amended. MPWMD subsequently issued Water Use Permits
to PBC, to J. Lohr Properties, Inc. (“Lohr”), and the Hester Hyde Griffin Trust
(“
B. The Original Project has been constructed and is in operation. MPWMD has supplied and will continue to supply, under the Agreements for Sale of Reclaimed Water with the Owners of the various Recycled Water Irrigation Areas, non-potable water for irrigation purposes, which has enabled potable water to be conserved . However, the performance of the Original Project has not met the expectations of the parties, either with regard to quantity or quality, due to a number of factors described in Ordinance No. 109.
C. The parties to the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement and the interrelated agreements have determined that an expansion of the Original Project (the “Project Expansion” as further defined herein), if and when Completed (as defined herein), will improve the performance of the Original Project such that the Original Project together with the Project Expansion will produce sufficient quantities of Recycled Water each year to meet all of the irrigation needs of the Recycled Water Irrigation Areas without the addition of any potable water thereto (except during an Interruption as defined herein).
D. Those parties primarily involved in the
planning of the Project Expansion concluded that, given the limited
availability of public funds, the most effective means to raise the funds
necessary to implement the Project Expansion would be to establish a financing
plan using funds raised from the private sector. MPWMD Ordinance No. 109 authorized such a
financing plan.
E. Under the financing plan, through which
PBC will attempt to raise funds sufficient to finance all Capital Costs of the
Project Expansion, as authorized by Ordinance No. 109 and as further set forth
in this Agreement, PBC may sell and convey up to 175 acre feet of its existing
Water Entitlement, for such valuable consideration as PBC may determine, solely
for dedication to property not owned by PBC within the Del Monte Forest being
used for residential purposes, with the proceeds of such sales and conveyances
to be devoted to the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion (as defined
herein). MPWMD and PBC desire to enter
into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions under which the
financing plan will be implemented.

finance all Capital Costs of the Project Expansion. Funds thus raised (and any additional funds
separately contributed) in excess of the amount needed for Capital Costs of the
Project Expansion shall be applied as more specifically described in Section 3
of this Agreement. This Agreement is not
intended to alter the continuing guarantees of PBC’s fiscal responsibility for
the Original Project.
2.2 Description of Project Expansion. The Project Expansion consists of components intended to improve the Original Project, principally including the addition of advanced treatment components to the treatment facilities of the Original Project (the “Advanced Treatment Component”), and the addition of storage, treatment, and distribution facilities at or associated with the Forest Lake Reservoir located within the Del Monte Forest (the “Forest Lake Component”). Both components of the Project Expansion are more particularly described in attached Exhibit “E.”
2.3 No Implicit Effect on Financial Commitment or Water Entitlement. Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall have no effect on the Financial Commitment made, or the Water Entitlement granted, respectively, in the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement.
3. Financing of Project Expansion
3.1 Method
of and Procedure for Financing Project Expansion
(a) This Agreement is intended to implement
the financing plan for the Project Expansion authorized by Ordinance 109. This Agreement allows PBC, on terms and
conditions set forth herein, to separately sell and convey up to 175 acre feet
of its existing Water Entitlement solely for dedication to the Benefited
Properties not owned by PBC as of May 27, 2004, the date that Ordinance 109 was
adopted.
(b) Pursuant hereto, PBC will use its good
faith efforts to sell such portions of its Water Entitlement as PBC in its
discretion may determine (but not to exceed 175 acre feet) to raise the funds
necessary to cover the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion. At the end of each month after the effective
date of Ordinance 109, PBC shall report to MPWMD, in a manner that shall not
adversely impact its continuing ability to sell such portions of its Water
Entitlement, on its progress in raising funds for the Supplemental Financial
Commitment.
(c) As of May 27, 2004, the date of adoption
of Ordinance 109, the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion were estimated by CAWD, PBCSD, and PBC at $22
million.
(d) All proceeds received by PBC from any
separate sale or conveyance of a portion of PBC’s Water Entitlement authorized
by this Agreement shall be deposited in an Escrow Account requiring the
signature of PBC and MPWMD to release funds therefrom to pay Costs of Sale, and
requiring the signature of PBC and either CAWD or PBCSD, in the manner agreed
by them, to release funds to pay for, in the first instance, the Capital Costs
of the Project Expansion.
(e) PBC may provide MPWMD with the writings
constituting the Supplemental Financial Commitment at any time, regardless of
the amount of commitments received for sale of portions of its Water
Entitlement. If the expected proceeds of the commitments received by PBC for
sale of portions of its Water Entitlement within eighteen months after this
Agreement becomes effective are insufficient to fund the entire Project
Expansion, and if PBC is unwilling or
unable to provide the writings constituting the Supplemental Financial
Commitment, either by committing to use its own additional funds or because no other person or entity
has come forward with sufficient additional funds to enable both components of
the Project Expansion to proceed, the parties shall follow the procedures
specified in Subsection 3.5.
(f) Capital Costs of the Project Expansion
advanced by PBC or any other person (including any funds independently
committed by MPWMD, PBC, IRWUG, CAWD, PBCSD, or any other entity as a part of
the funding component of the Supplemental Financial Commitment) shall be
reimbursed only pursuant to section 3.6.
(g) Under no circumstances shall PBC keep any
of the Proceeds received from the separate sale or conveyance pursuant to this
Section 3.1, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to
affect the reimbursement, after the documents constituting the Supplemental
Financial Commitment are provided by PBC, of Capital Costs of the Project
Expansion advanced by PBC or any other entity pursuant to Section 3.6. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be
construed to limit reimbursement of Costs of Sale in accordance with Subsection
3.4(c). Any Proceeds from such sales in
excess of the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion, including reimbursement
of advanced Capital Costs of the Project Expansion pursuant to Section 3.6,
shall be used to pay the Capital Costs of the Original Project.
(h) If PBC has not, within eighteen months
after Ordinance 109 becomes effective in accordance with Section Nine thereof,
given notice that all of the elements of the Supplemental Financial Commitment
are present, the parties shall proceed in accordance with Section 3.5.
(i) MPWMD and PBC each acknowledge and agree
that PBC does not represent, warrant, or covenant that PBC will provide the
Supplemental Financial Commitment. PBC
has no obligation to provide any funds, other than funds raised from the
separate sale and conveyance of portions of its Water Entitlement authorized by
this Agreement, to the Supplemental Financial Commitment.
3.2 Authority to Sell Portions of
PBC Water Entitlement. In
recognition of PBC’s undertaking to attempt to raise funds for, and, upon
raising such funds, to irrevocably commit such funds to, the Project Expansion
through the sale of portions of its Water Entitlement (in accordance with the
terms and conditions specified in this Agreement), PBC is hereby authorized,
beginning on June 26, 2004, to separately sell and convey to other owners of
land within Del Monte Forest, for such consideration and upon such terms and
conditions as PBC in its discretion may determine, such portions of its Water
Entitlement as it may choose, up to 175 acre feet, provided that each such
conveyance shall conform to the limitations of Section 3.3, and that the use of
each portion of the PBC Water Entitlement thus conveyed shall comply with the
limitations set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.
3.3 Procedures
for Separate
(a) No such conveyance shall be effective
unless and until the writings comprising the Supplemental Financial Commitment
have been received by MPWMD; and
(b) Each portion of the PBC Water Entitlement
thus conveyed:
1. shall be dedicated
solely to property within the Del Monte Forest that is not owned by PBC as of
May 27, 2004, the date that that Ordinance 109 was adopted;
2. shall be put solely
to Residential use (as defined in MPWMD Rule 11); and
3. shall be offered on
the same terms and conditions to persons on the
(c) As of and after the date that the
writings comprising the Supplemental Financial Commitment are received by
MPWMD, each recipient of a portion of PBC’s Water Entitlement sold and conveyed
pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 shall be entitled to issuance by the General
Manager of a Water Use Permit, upon payment of a fee, according to a fee schedule
adopted by MPWMD, in an amount sufficient to pay any expenses incurred by MPWMD
to issue or amend a Water Use Permit, to track and record changes in the Water
Entitlement and to verify water use capacity pursuant to Rule 23 following
issuance of new Water Use Permits, to monitor compliance with or to enforce
water usage in the manner required by applicable laws, ordinances, and
regulations, and to make such determinations concerning adjustments, and to
implement and enforce the adjustments, to Water Use Permits that may be
required in 2075.
(d) The Water Use Permit shall authorize uses only
through a “Residential connection” (as defined in MPWMD Rule 11), up to the
amount of the Water Entitlement separately conveyed as is documented and
authenticated in the conveyance documentation presented to the General Manager.
(e) All Water Use Permits issued to evidence
the portions of the Water Entitlement separately conveyed by PBC pursuant to
this Section 3.3 shall provide that rights memorialized thereby shall be
subject to modification after year 2075 as provided in Ordinance 109 and in
Ordinance No. 39, and shall further provide that such rights shall not be
Revoked (as defined in MPWMD Rule 11) or Terminated as defined herein with
respect to the entire Water Entitlement so conveyed except as provided in
Section 4 of this Agreement.
(f) Each of the restrictions of use set
forth or referenced in Section 4 of this Agreement shall be set forth on the
face of the Water Use Permit, and shall bind each Owner of the Benefited
Property to which the Water Entitlement is conveyed. The Water Use Permit shall also provide that
MPWMD shall have such access as may be required to enable it to account for the
use of water on the Benefited Property.
(g) Upon issuance of Water Use Permits
pursuant to this subsection 3.3, the General Manager shall simultaneously make
a record of the quantity of the Water Entitlement thus conveyed and a
commensurate reduction in the aggregate amounts of the Water Entitlement
thereafter held by PBC.
3.4 Procedures Following Consummation
of Separate Sales and Conveyances
(a) Deposit of Revenues.
PBC shall
deposit the funds received from the separate sale and conveyance of a portion
of its Water Entitlement pursuant to Ordinance 109 and this Agreement into the
Escrow Account.
(b) Supplemental Financial Commitment. The Supplemental Financial Commitment shall be
established by the following procedures:
(i) PBC shall prepare, in a form approved by MPWMD, and duly
execute an irrevocable written commitment to pay all Capital Costs of the
Project Expansion, using funds raised through the sale of the portions of its
Water Entitlement pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement (combined
with any funds which may be independently committed by PBC, IRWUG, CAWD, PBCSD,
or any other entity willing to commit funds to the Capital Costs of the Project
Expansion), and to continue to pay the Net Operating Deficiencies of the
Project until the Certificates of Participation (and any bonds or other
obligations issued by any Public Participant to finance such costs) have been
paid in full (or for any shorter periods as permitted by MPWMD), and to
continue to pay all Ancillary Project Costs; and
(ii) PBC, CAWD, and PBCSD, as applicable, shall each duly execute
one or more written representations that each is prepared and intends forthwith
to commence construction of the Project Expansion and to proceed diligently
therewith until the Project Expansion is Completed.
(c) Costs of
(d) Capital Costs of the Project Expansion. The Proceeds in the Escrow Account shall be used by CAWD and
PBCSD to pay Capital Costs of the Project Expansion in the manner set forth in
the Amended and Restated Construction and Operation Agreement and in Section
3.6.
3.5 Procedures if Supplemental
Financial Commitment Not Provided. If the expected proceeds of the commitments received
by PBC for sale of portions of its Water Entitlement within eighteen months
after this Agreement becomes effective are insufficient to fund the entire
Project Expansion, and if PBC is unwilling or unable to provide the writings
constituting the Supplemental Financial Commitment, either by committing to use
its own additional funds or because no other person or entity has come forward with
sufficient additional funds to enable both components to proceed of the Project
Expansion, the parties shall follow the procedures specified in this
Section.
(a) MPWMD may hold a hearing to determine whether, and for what period of time, if any, to allow PBC to continue selling portions of its Water Entitlement. MPWMD shall give PBC, CAWD, PBCSD, and IRWUG not less than 14 days written notice for such hearing.
(b) The purpose of the hearing is to consider such evidence that may be presented (including written materials that may be included in an Administrative Record), and based thereon, to determine (1) whether there is a reasonable possibility that such efforts will generate funds sufficient to pay for the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion and (2) whether PBC has used good faith efforts to raise the Supplemental Financial Commitment.
(c) Upon considering the evidence presented (including written materials that may be included in an Administrative Record), which will be the basis for its determination of whether, and for what period of time, if any, PBC may continue selling portions of its Water Entitlement, MPWMD may make a determination thereon.
(d) MPWMD shall give PBC written notice of its determination, whereupon the determination shall take effect on the 15th day following service of the notice by personal delivery or by facsimile, whereupon, PBC shall immediately comply with the determination or timely challenge the same in court pursuant to section 7(b) below.
(e) To comply with any
determination pursuant to section 3.5 (d) to cease selling portions of its
Water Entitlement, PBC shall disburse the monies received from separate sales
of portions of its Water Entitlement from the Escrow Account to the respective
person or persons then holding record title to the real property for which such
monies have been deposited in the Escrow Account.
3.6 Rights to Reimbursement. PBC, MPWMD, IRWUG, CAWD, and PBCSD each has advanced, or may in the future advance, funds for expenditures with respect to design, engineering, environmental review, legal services, and other matters incident and preparatory to the Project Expansion, including, without limitation, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with the Project Expansion, Ordinance 109, this Agreement, and each Related Agreement, and each such party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to continue to advance funds for such expenditures. All such expenditures incurred thereby, to the extent not included in and paid as the Costs of Sale, shall be deemed to constitute Capital Costs of the Project Expansion and shall be reimbursed to the party expending them out of the Proceeds after the documents constituting the Supplemental Financial Commitment are provided by PBC . Upon approval by MPWMD, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, such reimbursement shall be paid out of the Escrow Account within 30 days after the receipt by MPWMD of written evidence, in reasonable detail, that the party seeking such reimbursement actually incurred such expenditures.
4. Entitlement to and
Use of Water
4.1 Implementation
of Section 4 of Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement.
(a) Pursuant to the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, MPWMD has granted the Water Entitlement to PBC, Lohr, and Griffin under Section 4.1 thereof, and has issued Water Use Permits to PBC, Lohr, and Griffin under Section 4.2(a) and (b) thereof, in and for the Benefited Properties described in Exhibit “A” thereto as amended. As of the Effective Date, by virtue of the Water Entitlement, each of the Water Use Permits held by PBC, Lohr, and Griffin (and their respective successors and assigns) evidences a present vested property right enuring to the Benefited Properties described in such Water Use Permits for the use and benefit of a specified quantity of potable water per year (in acre feet) produced by the water distribution system owned and operated by Cal-Am and authorizing the expansion and extension of the Cal-Am water distribution system to provide water service and connections for the benefit of these Benefited Properties. The rights, privileges, obligations, and limitations incident to these interests are generally described in Sections 4.1 through 4.6 of the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with respect to the Benefited Properties described in Exhibit “A” (as amended through May 27, 2004) to the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement and in the respective Water Use Permits.
(b) Pursuant to Ordinance 39 and section 4.7 of the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, MPWMD has entered into Agreements for Sale of Reclaimed Water with each of the owners of the Open Spaces, as defined in, and identified on Exhibit “B” to, the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, each of which contain all of the provisions described in said section 4.7, and are the same in all material respects. MPWMD has supplied and will continue to supply thereunder recycled and potable water for irrigation purposes until the Project Expansion is Completed. Accordingly, compliance by MPWMD with each Agreement for Sale of Recycled Water entered into between MPWMD and the Owner of each of the Recycled Water Irrigation Areas shall constitute compliance with said section 4.7 to the extent it remains in effect.
4.2 Implementation of Ordinance 109.
(a) Ordinance 109 re-defines the Benefited Properties to which a portion of the Water Entitlement may be granted and for which Water Use Permits may be issued. The Benefited Properties under Ordinance 109, and this Agreement, include all real property within the unincorporated area of Del Monte Forest. The Benefited Properties include real property other than the Benefited Properties described in Exhibit “A” to the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement (referred to only for clarity and convenience in this Section 4 as the “Original Benefited Properties,” with the Benefited Properties (other than the Original Benefited Properties) being referred to as the “Other Benefited Properties”)
(b) Ordinance 109, implemented by this Agreement, authorizes PBC (but not Lohr or Griffin) to separately sell, and convey to an Owner of the Other Benefited Properties a portion of PBC’s Water Entitlement, and authorizes such Owner to receive a Water Use Permit from MPWMD evidencing and memorializing the portion of the Water Entitlement thereby acquired (with a corresponding reduction in the amount set forth in PBC’s Water Use Permit).
(c) Upon the completion of the separate sale and conveyance by PBC and the issuance of the Water Use Permit as described above, the Owner shall have a vested property right upon such Other Benefited Property for the use and benefit of a specified quantity of potable water per year (in acre feet) produced by the water distribution system owned and operated by Cal-Am and authorizing the expansion and extension of the Cal-Am water distribution system to provide water service and connections for the benefit of such Other Benefited Property. The use of the Water Entitlement on such Other Benefited Properties is subject to the conditions, limitations, and procedures imposed by MPWMD and specified in Ordinance 109, MPWMD Rule 23.5, and Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement.
(d) The rights of Lohr
and
(e) Except as set forth
in this section 4, as specified in each Water Use Permit, the pertinent portion
of the Water Entitlement may be assigned, in whole or in part, only in
connection with, and as an integral part of, a conveyance of title to all or
part of the Benefited Property or Properties to which it is dedicated, and,
only to the successor-in-interest to such Benefited Property or Properties.
4.3 Water Use Permits.
MPWMD Rule
23.5, as amended by Ordinance 109, governs the use of the Water Entitlement and
Water Use Permits from the date of this Agreement, except with respect to those
of Lohr and Griffin, and their respective successors and assigns, and the
successors and assigns of PBC (with respect to property conveyed by PBC before
the Effective Date), or assignments thereof, which are governed by their
respective Water Use Permits issued pursuant to the Fiscal Sponsorship
Agreement. This section 4.3 and the
following sections 4.4 through 4.8 shall, pursuant to Ordinance 109, govern the
use of the portions of the Water Entitlement and all Water Use Permits not
described in the preceding sentence.
Water Use
Permits shall be subject only to the following limitations:
(1) the
permit shall not limit the power of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (“MPWMD”) to curtail water use in the event of any
emergency caused by drought, or other threatened or existing water shortage, as
defined in Section 332 of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management Act,
including without limitation the power of MPWMD to terminate water service as a
consequence of a violation of water use restrictions;
(2) the
permit shall not relieve or reduce any obligation of the recipient of water to
pay customary fees, connection charges, user fees, surcharges, taxes, utility
taxes, and/or any other customary monetary obligation which may be imposed by
the California Public Utilities Commission, Cal-Am, MPWMD, or other Public
Participants upon water users of the same class within the Cal Am service area,
including but not limited to fees and charges due and payable to MPWMD by
reason of Rule 24 of MPWMD’s Rules and Regulation, nor shall such permit limit
the authority of Cal-Am or MPWMD to terminate water use for non-payment of such
fees and charges;
(3) the
permit shall enable present use of the Water Entitlement by PBC only upon its
continuing financial assurance or guarantee relating to the payment of Net
Operating Deficiencies for the Project; and
(4)
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) the Water Entitlement allocated to the Benefited Properties as a whole
shall not exceed 380 AF,
(b) the water usage under the Water Entitlement on any Benefited Property
shall not exceed the amount of the Water Entitlement allocated to such
Benefited Property, measured in accordance with the water use factors specified
at the time of connection in the MPWMD Rules, as amended from time to time, and
(c) for purposes of collecting connection charges and fees, the projected
water usage of the Benefited Properties shall be calculated by MPWMD in the
manner set forth in Rule 24.
(5) Further,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, once a new water
connection is established pursuant to a Water Use Permit and use of all or a
portion of a Water Entitlement,
(a) no user of water through such connection shall be
entitled to preferential access to water over any other water user of the Cal
Am water distribution system; and
(b) the fixtures on the
Benefited Property served by that connection shall be subject to verification of water use capacity in the manner
specified in the MPWMD Rules, as amended from time to time; and
(c) the use of water on the
Benefited Property served by such connection shall be accounted for by MPWMD in
the manner specified at the time of connection in the MPWMD Rules, as amended
from time to time; and
(d) the restrictions of use set forth
above shall be enforced as determined by MPWMD to be necessary.
(6) The
revocation and termination of any Water Use Permit shall not diminish or
otherwise adversely affect present Actual Use of Water by reason of a prior
expansion or extension of the Cal-Am water distribution system through any
connection previously made pursuant to such Water Use Permit, except that
Actual Use of Water may be reduced pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions
(1) through (5) of this section 4.3.
(7) Permits
issued pursuant to this Agreement shall represent a vested property interest
upon issuance and shall not be subject to revocation or cancellation except as
expressly set forth in section 4.8 below.
(8) The Water Entitlement granted by each Water Use Permit shall not be
subject to reallocation pursuant to MPWMD Rule 30, nor shall it be terminated
or diminished by reason of any water emergency, water moratorium or other
curtailment on the setting of meters for the Cal-Am water system, nor shall it
otherwise be subject to diminishment or revocation, except in the event that a
Water Use Permit is Revoked or cancelled or as otherwise provided by section
4.8 below.
4.4 Restrictions
on Use of Portion of Water Entitlement Separately Sold and Conveyed.
(a)
Any portion of the Water Entitlement of PBC separately conveyed pursuant to
Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement may be used only after the writings comprising the Supplemental Financial Commitment
have been received by MPWMD, and then only on the specific property to
which it is first dedicated following the conveyance, and the water shall be
put solely to Residential use (as defined in MPWMD Rule 11).
(b)
In addition, the use of water acquired pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this
Agreement shall not exceed the quantity set forth in the Water Use Permit
issued pursuant thereto and shall be
measured in accordance with the water use factors specified at the time of
connection in the MPWMD Rules, as amended from time to time, and shall at all
times remain subject to the limitations and restrictions referenced in this
Agreement.
(c) An Owner
acquiring any portion of the Water Entitlement of PBC separately
conveyed pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement shall not have the right to further sell or convey
the Water Use Permit or the corresponding portion of the Water Entitlement for
any use other than Residential use or on any other Benefited Property. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall in
any way limit the conveyance of the Water Use Permit so acquired, as an
integral part of the conveyance of title to one or more Benefited Properties,
to the successor(s)-in-interest to the Benefited Properties to which the
pertinent portion of the Water Entitlement is dedicated.
4.5 Use of Water Entitlement by
PBC. PBC may commence or continue to use the quantity of
PBC’s Water Entitlement that is not sold and conveyed by PBC pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement on
any or all Benefited Properties owned by PBC as of May 27, 2004, as provided in
the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement, for any lawful use as determined by the
appropriate jurisdiction with land use authority thereover. However, PBC agrees that the use of that
portion of PBC’s Water Entitlement granted to and retained by PBC for PBC’s
Original Benefited Properties shall be subject to and comply with the
provisions of Ordinance 109 (specifically the provisions of MPWMD Rule 23.5 as
amended by Ordinance 109) to the extent inconsistent with Section 4 of the
Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement. PBC may
sell and convey a parcel of land that it owns together with a specified portion
of PBC’s remaining Water Entitlement without being required to apply any
consideration received therefor to any costs of the Project.
4.6 Water Charges. The water subject to the Water Entitlement shall be sold to the Owners of each of the Benefited Properties at charges which are not in excess of Cal-Am’s charges (and, if applicable, any MPWMD charges) for potable water, in similar quantities and sold to similar users for similar uses, from time to time in effect. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to in any way affect the Owners’ respective obligations pursuant to their Water Use Permit:
(a) to pay the connection fee specified in Rule 23.5; and
(b) to pay the fees set forth in subsection 3.3 of this Agreement.
4.7 No New Rights to Use Potable Water. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to create or vest any rights to use potable water in any way inconsistent with the provisions of MPWMD Rule 23.5 as revised by Ordinance 109. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to adversely affect the ability of MPWMD to curtail or eliminate the Actual Use of Water through any connection previously made pursuant to a Water Use Permit to the extent that such curtailment or elimination is authorized by other laws, ordinances, or regulations as are generally applicable to all similarly situated users (Residential users within the Cal-Am System with lots classified by MPWMD as the same size) actually using water from the Cal-Am water distribution system, nor is it intended to provide or imply that any Water Use Permit holder shall not be subject to such generally applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. For example, persons using water from the Cal-Am water distribution system are required to reduce their water usage in the various stages in MPWMD’s Expanded Water Conservation and Standby Rationing Plan, and may be penalized or their water service may terminated for failing to reduce water usage as required. Similarly, such persons must pay the rates and charges imposed for such water service, or their water service may be terminated.
4.8 Revocation
and Termination of Water Use Permits Held or Conveyed by PBC.
(a) Each
Water Use Permit held by PBC or a successor Fiscal Sponsor shall provide that
it shall be revoked and terminated in the event that the Fiscal Sponsor shall
default in any material manner upon its obligation, assurance, and guarantee of
the Financial Commitment for the Project, provided that nothing herein shall
preclude PBC or any other subsequent Fiscal Sponsor to PBC from disputing in
good faith any claim of default made by MPWMD nor shall MPWMD terminate or
revoke any Water Use Permit unless PBC or any subsequent Fiscal Sponsor shall
have been given notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure any such default so
long as such opportunity to cure shall not result in any payment default to the
holders of the Certificates of Participation.
(b) All Water Use Permits issued to evidence the Water Entitlement
conveyed by PBC pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall not be
Revoked (as defined in Rule 11) or Terminated as defined herein with respect to
the entire Water Entitlement so conveyed except as follows:
(i) the Actual Use of Water on each of the
Benefited Properties to which a portion of the Water Entitlement is dedicated
(after conveyance by PBC pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement) shall at all times
remain subject to the limitations and restrictions referenced in Sections 4.3
through 4.7 of this Agreement, which shall be enforced in the manner determined by MPWMD to be necessary. In order
to facilitate enforcement of this limitation, MPWMD shall have the right to
account for the use of water on the Benefited Property in the manner specified
at the time of connection in the MPWMD Rules, as amended from time to time .
(ii) each Water Use Permit which on or after
January 1, 2075, embodies an annual Water Entitlement in excess of requirements
for planned land uses on a Benefited Property or which purports to authorize
usage in excess of the constitutional limitation to reasonable and beneficial
use shall be subject to modification, revocation, or termination in the sole
discretion of MPWMD, such that the water usage authorized thereby shall not
exceed such requirements and limitations.
Prior to any modification, termination, or revocation pursuant to this
section 4.8, the holder of the Water Use Permit, shall be entitled to notice
and a hearing, and any termination, revocation, or modification shall be
subject to appeal to the Board pursuant to Rule 70 of the MPWMD Rules and
Regulations.
The revocation, termination, or modification of any Water Use Permit
shall not diminish or otherwise adversely affect present Actual Use of Water by
reason of prior expansion or extension of the Cal-Am water distribution system
through any connection previously made pursuant to such Water Use Permit,
provided that each Water Use
Permit holder shall be subject to such laws, ordinances, and regulations as are
generally applicable to all similarly situated users(Residential users within
the Cal-Am System with lots classified by MPWMD as the same size) actually
using water from the Cal-Am water distribution system, and nothing herein is
intended to or shall affect the ability to curtail or eliminate the Actual Use
of Water through any connection previously made pursuant to a Water Use Permit
to the extent such curtailment or elimination is authorized by such generally
applicable laws, ordinances, or regulations applied in a non-discriminatory
fashion to all similarly situated users in the Cal-Am System (Residential users
with lots classified by MPWMD as the same size).
For example, persons using water from the Cal-Am water distribution
system are required to reduce their water usage in the various stages in
MPWMD’s Expanded Water Conservation and Standby Rationing Plan, and may be
penalized or their water service may be terminated for failing to reduce water
usage as required. Similarly, such
persons must pay the rates and charges imposed for such water service, or their
water service may be terminated.

property right, as described in Sections 3 and 4, to the potable water that is
subject to such Water Entitlement and the corresponding Water Use Permit,
enforceable according to its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy or other laws affecting
creditor’s rights generally.
(c) The
terms and conditions of this Agreement are in compliance, in all material
respects, with the terms and conditions of Ordinance 109.
5.3 Covenant
against Conflicting Agreements or Actions.
MPWMD shall not enter into any agreements, or
take any actions inconsistent with this Agreement, which may adversely affect
or impair the right of the Owner of any portion of the Water Entitlement to
such portion or to use or enjoy such portion with respect to the Benefited
Properties it owns, including, without limitation, any amendment, repeal, or
revocation of MPWMD Ordinance No. 39 or Ordinance 109.
6. Remedies
6.1 Remedies in General. Neither MPWMD nor PBC shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of a breach of this Agreement
by the other. Subject to the foregoing limitation, each party may avail itself
of such rights at law or in equity as such party may have as a result of a
breach of this Agreement by the other. Each of the parties hereby acknowledge
that the other party 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 of this Agreement by the other party or
otherwise to specifically enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement
involved in any such breach or threatened breach.
6.2 Remedies for MPWMD Breach. In the event
MPWMD breaches this Agreement with respect to the Water Entitlement or the
Water Use Permits:
(a) in the event
that, after such breach, an Owner of a Benefited Property is entitled to less
potable water for use on such Benefited Property than is contemplated by this
Agreement, as and to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, MPWMD shall
utilize its regulatory powers to the fullest extent to ensure that the Owner of
such Benefited Property to which the Water Use Permit is appurtenant
is entitled to receive, and does
receive, potable water at such times, in such quantities and pursuant to such
terms and conditions as are substantially equivalent to its rights with respect
to potable water as specified in the Water Use Permit, and
(b) because the damages which such owner would suffer as a result of the breach of the covenant set forth in the preceding sentence would be irreparable and difficult to quantify, such Owner shall be entitled to specific enforcement, by a court of competent jurisdiction of its rights hereunder which are affected by such breach. Any such relief shall be determined in an action brought and prosecuted in accordance with Section 8(b).
(c) Each
Owner of the Benefited Properties who has received by sale and conveyance from
PBC a portion of the Water Entitlement shall have the right to enforce this Section 6.2 as an intended third party
beneficiary.
6.3 Acknowledgment by PBC. PBC acknowledges that MPWMD does not covenant in this Agreement, and is
not responsible for, the release from the Escrow Account of funds to pay for
the Capital Costs of the Project Expansion, and PBC shall not seek any redress
against MPWMD for any refusal or delays in the release of such funds, or any
consequences thereof, including those described in Section 9.4 of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, MPWMD shall not be required to pay any moneys derived from any
source other than the Net Operating Revenues for the performance of any
agreements or covenants performed by it contained or referred to herein. No director, officer, or employee of MPWMD
shall be individually or personally liable for any obligations of MPWMD
contained or referred to herein.
