SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCING AGREEMENT

 

            This Supplemental Financing Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on

                                    , 2004, by and between the MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, a California public agency (“MPWMD”), and PEBBLE BEACH COMPANY, a California general partnership (“PBC”).

            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 (“Griffin”) in the respective amounts of 365 af, 10 af, and 5 af. 

 

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.

            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 Sale and Conveyance

                         (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 Monterey County waiting list for approved residential development projects within the Del Monte Forest which are awaiting water availability .

                         (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 Sale.              Upon the provision of the Supplemental Financial Commitment, the Costs of Sale shall be reimbursed from the Escrow Account to the parties entitled to such reimbursement, provided that MPWMD shall have the right to review and approve such reimbursement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

                            (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.

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 Griffin and their successor and assigns under their respective Water Use Permits shall not be altered or affected by this Agreement. 

                        (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.

                        (d)        no consent, approval, order or authorization of any person, entity, court or governmental authority is required on its part in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance by it of any of its obligations hereunder.

            5.2       Representations and Warranties of MPWMD.  MPWMD hereby represents and warrants to PBC as follows:

                        (a)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Owner of the Benefited Properties who has received by separate sale and conveyance from PBC a portion of the Water Entitlement shall have a vested right inuring to the Benefited Properties it owns for the use and benefit of a specified quantity of potable water per year (in acre feet) produced by the Cal Am distribution system 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, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, statutory or otherwise, and not subject to revocation or termination except as expressly provided in Section 4 hereof. 

                        (b)        Each portion of the Water Entitlement separately sold and conveyed by PBC pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall constitute a vested 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.

DESCRIPTION OF ORIGINAL PROJECT

The Original Project consists of the following components:

1.         The Tertiary Facility.

(a)        The tertiary treatment plant located at the CAWD wastewater treatment plant immediately south of the Carmel River and west of California State Highway One, capable of producing 1.8 million gallons per day (MGD) of tertiary treated recycled water.  The existing tertiary treatment facility diverts and treats secondary level effluent from the Secondary Facilities for reuse as irrigation water using a treatment process consisting of: secondary effluent flow equalization; influent pumping; polymer and alum addition with rapid mixing for coagulation; low energy mixing for flocculation; filtration; chlorination; dechlorination; and pumping.

(b)        The improvements within the Secondary Facilities to assure a consistent supply of secondary effluent from the Secondary Facilities diverted to the tertiary treatment plant.  These improvements include a secondary clarifier flow split control and replacement of the existing mechanical aeration diffusers.

2.         The Distribution System.

(a)        The recycled water distribution system consisting of approximately 38,000 feet of distribution pipeline and a steel water storage tank (described in item (b) below) in Del Monte Forest beginning at the tertiary treatment plant and terminating at the southern portion of the Spanish Bay Golf Course and Resort in Del Monte Forest.  The pipeline is located primarily within existing roads and road rights-of-way extending through the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea and unincorporated areas of Monterey County, including areas of Del Monte Forest.  The distribution system also includes a connection adjacent to the storage tank (described in item (b) below) for furnishing an emergency potable water supply in the event of failure of the tertiary treatment plant or distribution pump station.

(b)       The 2.5 million gallon recycled water storage tank located adjacent to the Poppy Hills Golf Course maintenance yard north of Viscaino Road in Del Monte Forest.
 

EXHIBIT E
