WATER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Water Purchase Agreement ("Agreement"), entered into as of this 28th day of
September, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), is made by and between the Carlsbad Municipal Water
District, a municipal water district (the "District"), and Poseidon Resources (Channelside) LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company ("Poseidon") (the District and Poseidon sometimes
hereinafter are referred to collectively as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party"), with
respect to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. Based on technical, financial, environmental and engineering studies it has
conducted since 1.998, Poseidon has determined it is feasible to develop a reverse osmosis seawater
desalination plant (the "Project") capable of delivering up to fifty (50) million gallons per day
("MGD'I) or 56,000 acre-feet annually, but not less than twenty-five (25) MGD or 28,000 acre-feet
annually, of desalinated water ("Product Water") meeting specified water quality standards.
B. The Project will be located at a site described on Schedule 1 (the "Site")
owned by Cabrillo Power I LLC in the City of Carlsbad (the "City") and leased to Poseidon. The
District provides domestic water service to the City.
C. Poseidon desires to sell to the District, and the District desires to buy from
Poseidon, at wholesale, up to twenty-five (25) MGD of Product Water (as adjusted pursuant to this
Agreement, the "Contract Capacity"), pursuant to an arrangement where the appropriate risks of
development, construction and operation of the Project are borne by Poseidon and neither the
District nor the City has any liability with respect to the financing of the Project.
D. Through the series of contractual rights and obligations contained in this
Agreement (including but not limited to the District's right to purchase Product Water from
Poseidon, the District's right of first offer described in Section 18 of this Agreement, and the
District's right to exercise the options described in Sections 2 and 14.2.2 of this Agreement) the
Parties intend to devote the Project and Poseidon's interest in the Site to public use by the District
and the City to the extent of the Contract Capacity so that the Project and Site will be "appropriated
to public use" pursuant to Cal. Code of Civil Procedure Q 1240.660.
E. Before the District can commit to purchase any Product Water, the District
must first comply with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), compliance with which
is a condition precedent to the District's obligation to purchase Product Water as set forth below.
As part of the City's environmental analysis under CEQA, an Environmental Impact Report is
required to analyze the proposed Project including the contractual agreements with the District that
would be included in the Project for the purchase of Product Water from the Project. This
Agreement prior to the Approval Date (as defined herein), shall not constitute a "project" subject
to CEQA, and nothing in this Agreement prior to the Approval Date shall be construed under
Public Resources Code Section 21065 as (a) an activity undertaken by the District or any other
public agency, (b) the support of any activity undertaken by a person (including without
1
DSMDB.1760968.12A
J
limitation Poseidon) which is supported in whole or in part by any contract, grant, subsidy, loan
or other form of assistance from any public agency, or (c) any issuance to a person (including
without limitation Poseidon) of any lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use
by any public agency.
F. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Poseidon now desires to
contract with the District, and the District now desires to contract with Poseidon, for the purchase of
Product Water from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF CONTRACT CAPACITY.
1.1 Contract Capacity. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the District hereby agrees to buy the Contract Capacity from Poseidon, and Poseidon
hereby agrees to sell the Contract Capacity to the District, to be delivered in installments
pursuant to the Delivery Regime to be developed by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.
1.2 District’s Daily Requirements. Poseidon acknowledges that, by entering into
this Agreement, the District intends to purchase from the Project all of its daily requirements for
water (up to the Contract Capacity) and that the District currently has variable daily
requirements ranging from ten (10) MGD to twenty-five (25) MGD. Accordingly, in light of the
District’s variable requirements, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Poseidon shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into mutually acceptable supplemental agreements with
third parties (the “Supplemental Agreements”) for up to fifteen (15) MGD of the Contract
Capacity. Pursuant to such Supplemental Agreements, Poseidon may sell up to fifteen (15)
MGD of the Contract Capacity otherwise reserved for the District under this Agreement (the
“Supplemental Capacity”) to third parties during periods when the District requires less than
twenty-five (25) MGD of Contract Capacity from the Project, and such Supplemental Capacity
shall otherwise be available to the extent necessary to satisfy the District’s requirements during
days the District requires more than ten (10) MGD of water. Poseidon agrees that: (a) in no
event shall Poseidon enter into Supplemental Agreements pursuant to which it agrees to sell
more than fifteen (1 5) MGD out of the Contract Capacity; and (b) on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Poseidon shall at all times supply the District with Product Water
sufficient to meet its daily requirements up to the Contract Capacity. Poseidon further agrees
that during the Term the Project shall have the capacity to deliver at least twenty-five (25) MGD
of Product Water, and without the District’s prior written consent, Poseidon shall not enter into
any oral or written agreement, contract, instrument, undertaking or any other kind of
understanding whatsoever, which, individually or in the aggregate, shall preclude the District
fiom purchasing the Contract Capacity. The District shall have the right to review the regimes
2
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
J .-
I.
for the delivery of Product Water to third parties to confirm that such regimes do not adversely
affect the District's rights under this Agreement.
2. TERM. The term ("Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall continue for a period of thirty years (30) after the Commercial Operation Date (defined in
Section 4.2 below), unless extended or sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. The District's obligation to purchase Product Water shall commence if and
when the Approval Date (as defined in Section 21.18) shall have occurred, and the conditions set
forth in Section 13.2 have been satisfied or waived by the District.
2.1 Extension Terms.
2.1.1 Extension Option. The District may, at the District's option (the
"Extension Option"), elect to extend the Term of this Agreement for two (2) consecutive
additional periods of thirty (30) years each (severally called "Extension Term"), subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Purchase Price for each Extension Term shall be
adjusted as provided in Section 2.1.4(c). Subject to the exercise of an Extension Option
becoming effective pursuant to Section 2.1.4(c), an Extension Term shall commence at the
expiration of the Term (or the first Extension Term as the case may be) and shall terminate on
the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the date of commencement of that Extension Term, unless
sooner terminated as provided herein.
2.1.2 Failure to Exercise. If the District fails to exercise the Extension
Option for an Extension Term within the time provided in Section 2.1.4(c), then the Extension
Option herein granted for such Extension Term shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.
Failure to exercise the Extension Option for the first Extension Term shall nullify the Extension
Option for the second Extension Term.
2.1.3 References to "Term." After the exercise of any Extension Option, all
references in this Agreement to the "Term" shall be considered to mean the Term as extended,
and all references to termination or to the end of the Term shall be considered to mean the
termination or end of the first or second Extension Term, as the case may be.
2.1.4 Conditions to Exercise. The District's right to the Extension Option are
subject to the following conditions:
(a) Agreement in Effect. This Agreement shall be in effect at the
time notice of exercise is given and on the last day of the Term (or the first Extension Term, as
the case may be).
(b) No Default. No District Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time notice of exercise is given.
(c) Procedure. The District may notify Poseidon of its desire to
exercise the Extension Option for each Extension Term only by delivering Poseidon written
notice of such extension request (each such notice, an "Option Exercise Notice"). The District
3
DSMDB.1760968.12A
..-
shall deliver the Option Exercise Notice at least forty-eight (48) months prior to the expiration of
the then-current term of the Agreement (the "Existing Term"). Promptly after delivery of the
Option Exercise Notice, the Parties shall commence negotiations in good faith on equitable
adjustments to the Purchase Price. If the Parties reach agreement on such adjustments no later
than twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the Existing Term, the exercise of the
Extension Option shall be deemed effective. If the Parties do not reach agreement on such
adjustments by twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the Existing Term, the exercise
of the Extension Option shall be deemed ineffective and the Agreement will terminate on the last
day of the Existing Term (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties).
2.1.5 District Purchase Option
(a) In the event that the District's exercise of the Extension Option is
deemed ineffective pursuant to Section 2.1.4(c), the Parties hereby agree that the District shall
have an option (the "Purchase Option") but not the obligation to purchase the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) Option Term. The term of the Purchase Option (the "Purchase
Option Term") shall commence on the date that the District's exercise of the Extension Option is
deemed ineffective and shall expire twelve (12) months prior to the last day of the Existing
Term.
(c) Exercise of Purchase Option. The District shall exercise the
Purchase Option by delivering to Poseidon written notice (the "Purchase Option Exercise
Notice") prior to the expiration of the Purchase Option Term of the District's election to exercise
the Purchase Option. Unless and until the District shall deliver the Purchase Option Exercise
Notice, the District shall have no obligation to purchase the Project from Poseidon.
(d) Purchase Option Price. The purchase price (the "Purchase
Option Price") shall be the fair market value of the Project as determined pursuant to this Section
2.1.5(d). The Parties shall have ninety (90) days after Poseidon receives the Purchase Option
Exercise Notice in which to agree on the Purchase Option Price. If the Parties are unable to
agree on the Purchase Option Price within that period, then within ten (10) days after the
expiration of that period each of the District and Poseidon, at its respective cost and by giving
notice to the other Party, shall appoint a qualified appraiser to set the Purchase Option Price for
the Project. If either Poseidon or the District fails to appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days
after the other Party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed
shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Purchase Option Price of the Project. If the two
appraisers are appointed by the Parties as set forth in this Section 2.1.5(d), they shall meet
promptly and attempt to set the Purchase Option Price of the Project. If they are unable to agree
on the Purchase Option Price within thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been
appointed, they shall attempt to select a third qualified appraiser within ten (10) days after the
last day the two appraisers are given to set the Purchase Option Price. If they are unable to agree
on a third appraiser, either of the District or Poseidon, upon ten (10) days notice to the other
Party, may apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the State of California, County
of San Diego, for the selection of a third, qualified appraiser. The District and Poseidon each
4
DSMDB.1760968.12A
--.
shall bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's
fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any
capacity for either of the District or Poseidon.
Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of the
appraisers shall set the Purchase Option Price of the Project. If a majority of the appraisers are
unable to set the Purchase Option Price within the required time period, the three appraisals shall
be added together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotient shall be the Purchase
Option Price of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the low appraisal shall be
disregarded if it is more than ten percent (10%) lower than the middle appraisal, and the high
appraisal shall be disregarded if it is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the middle
appraisal. If only one appraisal is disregarded, then the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be
added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotient shall be the Purchase
Option Price of the Project. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded, the
middle appraisal shall be the Purchase Option Price for the Project.
After the Purchase Option Price has been set, the appraisers immediately shall
notify the Parties. If the District objects to the Purchase Option Price that has been set, the
District shall have the right to elect not to purchase the Project, so long as the District pays all
the costs in connection with the appraisal procedure that set the Purchase Option Price. The
District's election not to purchase the Project must be exercised within ten (10) days after receipt
of notice from the appraisers of the Purchase Option Price. If the District does not exercise its
election within such ten (10) day period, the District shall purchase the Project from Poseidon as
set forth in this Section 2.1.5(d).
(e) Closing. The closing date of the purchase of the Project pursuant
to the Purchase Option shall be the last day of the Term. The District shall deliver the Purchase
Option Price at the closing and at or prior to the closing the Parties shall execute and deliver
such other documents as are reasonably necessary to consummate the transfer of the Project.
2.2 Water Year, Defined. As used in this Agreement, "Water Year" means a
period of twelve (1 2) consecutive calendar months, commencing on the first day of January and
ending on the last day of December; provided, however that the first Water Year shall commence
on the Commercial Operation Date and shall end on December 3 1 , and the last Water Year shall
commence on January 1 prior to the date the Term of the Agreement expires or is terminated,
whichever applies, and shall end on the last day of the Term of this Agreement or the effective
date of any termination, whichever applies.
2.3 Termination Prior to the Commercial Operation Date.
2.3.1 Certain Events. In the event that by a date that is twenty-four (24)
months after the Effective Date (as such date may be extended by mutual agreement of the

sufficient to implement the Project, then Poseidon may terminate this Agreement.
2.3.3 Completion of System Test. In the event that the System Test has not
been successfully completed by a date that is twenty-four (24) months after the initial
commencement of the System Test (as such date may be extended by mutual agreement of the
Parties), then either Party may terminate this Agreement.
2.3.4 Legal Entitlements For Construction. As more specifically set forth
in Section 5, Poseidon shall obtain and maintain all Legal Entitlements with respect to the
Project. On or before the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Construction
Permit Deadline”) Poseidon shall obtain (or cause its applicable subcontractors to obtain) all
Legal Entitlements required for the commencement of construction of the Project. In the event
that Poseidon has not obtained such Legal Entitlements by the Construction Permit Deadline, the
Parties shall meet to assess the effect of the delay on the implementation of the Project. The
Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an extension of the Construction
Permit Deadline. If the Parties cannot agree on such an extension, then either Party may
terminate this Agreement.
3. PURCHASE PRICE.
3.1 Purchase Price.
3.1.1 Initial Purchase Price. As the purchase price (“Purchase Price“) for the
Contract Capacity, the District shall pay to Poseidon in accordance with Section 3.3 an amount
equal to (A) an amount per acre foot equal to the lower of (i) the Avoided Water Cost (as defined
in Schedule 3) and (ii) the Base Price (as defined below), multiplied by (B) the total number of
acre feet actually delivered (or deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.8) to the Delivery
Points (defined in Section 9.2). Subject to Sections 3.2, 9.2 and 10, the initial base price (the
“Base Price”) shall be the sum of (i) Eight hundred and sixty-one Dollars ($861) per acre foot
and (ii) the Delivery Charge as determined pursuant to Section 3.2.3.
3.1.2 Subsidies. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain either (i) a subsidy from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“MWD”)
under its Seawater Desalination Program in an amount not less than Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($250.00) per acre foot for the District’s purchase of Product Water under this Agreement or (ii)
a form of third party financial support for the District’s purchase of Product Water under this
6
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
Agreement which provides the District with the economic equivalent of not less than Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per acre foot for the District’s purchase of Product Water under
this Agreement (such subsidy or financial support hereinafter referred to as the “Subsidy”).
Poseidon shall cooperate with the District in obtaining the Subsidy. The Parties further agree
that the Base Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any other subsidies, grants or external
funding, including without limitation funds available under Proposition 50, that shall reduce
Poseidon’s capital and/or operating and maintenance costs of the Project (the “Other Grants or
Subsidies”). The Parties shall cooperate with each other in applying for and in obtaining any
Other Grants or Subsidies.
3.2 Adjustments to the Base Price.
3.2.1 Schedule 3. The Base Price shall be adjusted as described on Schedule 3.
3.2.2 Change in Law. In the event of any change to or the adoption of any
Applicable Law after the Effective Date (a “Change in Law”) (other than a Change in Law
which results in a New City Charge) which would materially and adversely affect the ability of
Poseidon to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement the Base Price shall be
equitably adjusted to reflect the costs incurred by Poseidon to comply with such change to or
adoption of an Applicable Law.
3.2.3 Delivery Charge. Within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date,
the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a mutually-acceptable per
acre foot charge (the “Delivery Charge”), which charge shall reflect the cost of construction,
financing, operation and maintenance of the Appurtenant Facilities. The Delivery Charge (as it
may be reduced pursuant to Section9.2) shall be a part of the Base Price as described in
Section 3.1.1.
3.2.4 Payment in Lieu of Taxes. In the event that, subsequent to a third party
acquiring the Project, including Poseidon’s leasehold of the Site, such third party is not obligated
to pay property taxes with respect to the Project or a fee in lieu of property taxes pursuant to the
Development Agreement, the Base Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of
taxes no longer payable.
3.3 Time and Manner for Payments. For each month during the Term that
deliveries of Product Water are made pursuant to this Agreement (or deemed made pursuant to
Section 9.8), Poseidon shall invoice the District for the then-current Purchase Price for Product
Water delivered to the Delivery Points in the preceding month and for any Additional Amounts
incurred in the preceding month. The invoice for the last month of each Water Year also shall
include the amount of any Deferred Payment and/or Additional Payment due from the District
pursuant to Schedule 3. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Poseidon, the
District shall remit to Poseidon the amount invoiced. Invoices and payments shall be delivered
to Poseidon at the address for notices to Poseidon set forth in Section 2 1.4 of this Agreement.
If Poseidon has not received payment prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the District’s receipt
of the corresponding invoice, Poseidon may send the District a notice (an “Overdue Notice”)
with respect to such invoice. Payments made more than fifteen (15) days after the date of the
7
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
.
District’ receipt of an Overdue Notice from Poseidon rill bear late feehnterest charge of
one percent (1 %) per month (but not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law) (the
“Overdue Rate”), from the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of receipt of the invoice. In the
event of a dispute over the amount invoiced by Poseidon, the District promptly shall notify
Poseidon of any such dispute and will pay any non-disputed amounts. If the Parties are unable
to resolve any such disputes, the disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure
set forth in Section 20. If any disputed amount is adjusted in Poseidon’s favor, the District
shall pay to Poseidon the amount of such adjustment, with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date such disputed amount was due until the date of actual payment.
3.4 Take-if-Delivered Contract. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement is a “take-if-delivered contract for the purchase of Product Water from Poseidon
during each year of the Term. Payments made by the District shall be based upon the quantity of
water actually delivered (or deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.8) to the Delivery
Points multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect at the time of delivery, calculated in accordance
with Sections 3.1 through 3.2 hereof, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.
3.5 Additional Amounts. In addition to the payment of the Purchase Price, the
District shall reimburse Poseidon for the following items (the “Additional Amounts”):
3.5.1 New City Charges. All franchise fees, taxes or other monetary charges
levied in a discriminatory manner by the City, the District, the RDA or any agency of any of the
foregoing on Poseidon or the Project (collectively, the “New City Charges”) but only to the
extent actually paid by Poseidon. The Parties intend that, if possible, Poseidon shall pass
through any such New City Charge to the District which, in turn, shall pass through any such
New City Charge to its ratepayers, and the District shall collect such New City Charge from its
ratepayers and shall remit such New City Charge on Poseidon’s behalf to the City, the District or
the RDA, whichever applies.
3.5.2
Insurance (as described in Section 12).
Additional Insurance. The cost of the premiums for the Additional
4. CONSTRUCTION.

“Prudent Industry Practices”). Poseidon shall not commence construction of the portion of the
8
DSMDB.1760968.12A
,
Project which is to provide Product Water to the District until the condition set forth in
Section 13.2.6 has been satisfied or waived by the District.
4.2 Testing. Prior to the Project having commenced selling Product Water on a
continuous basis as contemplated by the Delivery Regime (“Commercial Operation”), the
Project shall have completed successfully a performance test (the “Performance Test”) of
delivery of Product Water of the quality and quantity provided in this Agreement. The criteria
for the Performance Test shall be developed by Poseidon in accordance with Prudent Industry
Practices and approved by the District within thirty (30) days after Poseidon has delivered the
criteria to the District. The criteria for the Performance Test shall be included in Poseidon’s
engineering, procurement and construction contract for the Project. The District also shall have
an opportunity to be present at, and review the results of, the Performance Test. Poseidon may
repeat the Performance Test as often as necessary, provided that it gives the District at least
three(3) days notice prior to each Performance Test. Once the Project has completed the
Performance Test successfully, Poseidon may declare that the Project is ready to enter into
Commercial Operation and begin delivery of Product Water to the Delivery Points in accordance
with Section 9 (the date of Poseidon’s declaration is referred to herein as the ”Commercial
Operation Date”).
5. LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS. Poseidon, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely
responsible for obtaining and maintaining (or causing its applicable subcontractors to obtain and
maintain) any and all permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations, consents and entitlements of
whatever kind and however described (collectively, “Legal Entitlements”) which are required to
be obtained or maintained with respect to the Project or the activities to be performed by
Poseidon (or its applicable subcontractors) under this Agreement and which are required to be
issued by any federal, state, city or regional legislative, executive, judicial or other governmental
board, agency, authority, commission, administration, court or other body or any official thereof
having jurisdiction with respect to any matter which is subject to this Agreement, including
without limitation the California Coastal Commission, the Regional Water Quality Control
Board, the City, the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission (“RDA”) and the
District (each, a “Governmental Authority”). Poseidon also shall be solely responsible for
compliance with and for all costs and expenses necessary for compliance with CEQA, to enable
Poseidon to make Product Water available to the District pursuant to this Agreement, and
Poseidon shall be responsible for initiating any procedures required for compliance with CEQA
with regard to this Agreement. The City shall be the “lead agency” (as that term is used in
CEQA) with respect to the Project and shall include this Agreement as part of the proposed
Project which will be subject to environmental review under CEQA.
6. PROJECT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.
6.1 Continuous Operation. Poseidon shall operate the Project at the level
necessary to satisfy Poseidon’s obligation to provide the Contract Capacity to the District under
this Agreement in accordance with the Delivery Regime.
6.2 Operations, Maintenance, Management and Repair. Poseidon, at its sole
cost and expense, shall operate, maintain and manage or cause its subcontractors (including plant
9
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
managers and operators) to operate, maintain and manage the Project in accordance with this
Agreement, all Applicable Laws and Prudent Industry Practice. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Poseidon shall maintain the Project, including without limitation each material
portion thereof, in good mechanical and operating repair and condition, perform maintenance in
accordance with all Applicable Laws (whether now in force or hereafter adopted), Prudent
Industry Practice and manufacturers’ recommendations, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Poseidon shall repair or cause to be repaired the Project, including without limitation each
material portion thereof, for damage caused by: (a) acts or omissions over which the District has
no control; (b) acts or omissions of Poseidon or its officers, directors, shareholders, principals,
agents, servants, employees, or third parties; or (c) Poseidon’s failure to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or its obligations under any other agreement in any way related to the
ownership, use or operation of the Project.
6.3 Operation and Maintenance Manual. Poseidon shall prepare and amend
periodically, in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices, an operation and maintenance
manual (the “O&M Manual”) which sets forth the installation, operation, maintenance, record
keeping and reporting requirements for each material component of the Project and applicable
licensing and qualification requirements for Project personnel. Prior to the Commercial
Operation Date, Poseidon shall deliver to the District five (5) complete copies of the O&M
Manual and associated equipment catalogs and manuals. Within five (5) days of adopting any
amendments to the O&M Manual, Poseidon also shall deliver to the District five (5) copies of
the O&M Manual, as amended.
7. DAMAGE TO THE PROJECT, DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TECHNICAL STUDIES.
7.1 Damage To the Project. If during the Term the Project or any material portion
thereof is totally or partially destroyed or damaged from any cause whatsoever, Poseidon, at its
sole cost and expense, shall make or cause to be made such repairs or replacements as are
necessary to restore operation of the Project as soon as possible to the extent necessary to
provide the Contract Capacity under this Agreement.
7.2 Distribution System Technical Studies.
7.2.1 System Test. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the
Effective Date, the Parties shall complete the development of a mutually acceptable test (the
“System Test”) of the effect of Product Water on the components of the District’s water
distribution system (the “Distribution System”). The System Test shall include circulating
Product Water, meeting the Water Quality Standards, from Poseidon’s pilot desalination facility
and the water from the District’s current imported water supply, in parallel, through two identical
systems of pipes, valves and other components provided by the District which are representative
of those contained in the Distribution System (the “System Test Components”) for a time period
sufficient (as mutually agreed by the Parties, but not to exceed six (6) months except as provided
herein) to determine the relative effect of the Product Water on the System Test Components.
Prior to the end of the one hundred and eighty (1 80) day period to complete the development of
the System Test, the Corrosion Advisory Panel (as defined in Section 7.2.54) shall meet with
both Parties in Carlsbad, become familiar with the project and review and comment, in writing,
10
DSMDB.1760968.12A
on the proposed design and proposed length of the System Test. Following the conduct of the
System Test, the results of the System Test shall be transmitted to the Corrosion Advisory Panel
and the Corrosion Advisory Panel shall provide written comments on the interpretation of the
results to both Parties. In the event that the System Test results show that the Product Water has
an adverse effect on the integrity of any System Test Component which effect would not also be
caused by water from the District’s current imported water supply, Poseidon shall take all
commercially reasonable actions to change the proposed operation of the Project to remove such
adverse effect. The System Test shall be re-performed until the results thereof do not show that
the Product Water has such an adverse effect on the integrity of any System Test Component. In
the event that the members of the Corrosion Advisory Panel do not agree as to whether the
results of the System Test show such an adverse affect on any System Test Component or
whether the duration of the System Test is adequate to evaluate such an adverse effect, then the
System Test shall be extended by a time period to be mutually agreed by the Parties but not to
exceed an additional six (6) months. All costs of performing (and, if necessary, re-performing)
the System Test shall be borne by Poseidon; provided, however that the cost of providing System
Test Components, imported water and the collection, treatment, and disposal of such imported
water in accordance with Applicable Law shall be borne by the District.
7.2.2 Consumer Plumbing Test. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days
after the Effective Date, the Parties shall complete the development of a mutually-acceptable test
(the “Consumer Plumbing Test”) of the effect of Product Water on the components of consumer
plumbing used in the District’s service area, particularly on the leaching of lead and/or copper
from these components. The Consumer Plumbing Test shall include circulating Product Water
meeting the Water Quality Standards from Poseidon’s pilot desalination facility and the water
from the District’s current imported water supply, in parallel, through two identical systems of
consumer plumbing components (the “Consumer Test Components”) for a time period sufficient
(as mutually agreed by the Parties, but not to exceed six (6) months, except as provided herein)
to determine the relative effect of the Product Water on the Test Components. The pipe loop test
described in AWWARF, 1991, Lead Control Strategies M06, American Water Works Research
Foundation, Denver, CO shall be used as a preliminary model of the Consumer Plumbing Test.
Prior to the end of the one hundred and eighty (180) day period to complete the development of
the Consumer Plumbing Test, the Corrosion Advisory Panel (as defined in Section 7.2.4) shall
meet with both Parties in Carlsbad, become familiar with the project to review and comment in
writing on the proposed design and proposed length of the Consumer Plumbing Test. Following
the conduct of the Consumer Plumbing Test, the results of the Consumer Plumbing Test shall be
transmitted to the Corrosion Advisory Panel and the Corrosion Advisory Panel shall provide
written comments on the interpretation of the results to both Parties. In the event that the
Consumer Plumbing Test results show that the Product Water has an adverse effect on the
integrity of any Consumer Test Component or on the leaching of lead and/or copper from said
Consumer Test Component which effect would not also be caused by water from the District’s
current imported water supply, Poseidon shall take all commercially reasonable actions to
implement changes to the proposed operation of the Project to remove any such adverse impacts.
The Consumer Plumbing Test shall be re-performed until the results thereof do not show that
the Product Water has such an adverse effect on the integrity of any Consumer Test Component
or the leaching of lead and/or copper from any Consumer Test Component. In the event that the
11
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
members of the Corrosion Advisory Panel do not agree as to whether the results of the Consumer
Plumbing Test show an adverse effect on the integrity of any Consumer Test Component or on
the leaching of lead andor copper from any Consumer Test Component or whether the duration
of the Consumer Plumbing Test is adequate to evaluate such an adverse effect, then the
Consumer Plumbing Test shall be extended by a time period to be mutually agreed by the
Parties, but not to exceed six (6) months. All costs of performing (and, if necessary, re-
performing) the Consumer Plumbing Test shall be borne by Poseidon; provided, however that
the cost of providing Consumer Test Components, imported water and the collection, treatment,
and disposal of such imported water in accordance with Applicable Law shall be borne by the
District.
7.2.3 System Monitoring Plan. Within twelve (12) months after the
Effective Date of the Agreement, the Parties shall commence the development of a mutually
agreeable method for monitoring the effect of Product Water on the integrity of the Distribution
System (the “System Monitoring Plan”). Before the System Monitoring Plan is final, the
Corrosion Advisory Panel (as defined in Section 7.2.4) shall have thirty (30) days to review the
final draft System Monitoring Plan and provide written comments. The Parties shall complete
the development of the System Monitoring Plan in sufficient time to allow at least one year of
data collection prior to the commencement of Commercial Operation, but in no event later than
twelve (12) months prior to the Projected Commencement Date. In the event that the District
reasonably believes that the Product Water may have an adverse effect on the integrity of all or a
material portion of the Distribution System which effect would not also be caused by the
District’s likely alternative water supply, the Parties shall meet to discuss such potential adverse
effects. Poseidon shall take all commercially reasonable actions to implement changes to the
operation of the Project to remove such an adverse effect of Product Water on the integrity of all
or a material portion of the Distribution System. The cost of the System Monitoring Plan in
excess of the cost which would be reasonably incurred by the District to monitor the Distribution
System in the absence of the Project shall be equally shared by the Parties up to the first
anniversary of the Commercial Operation. Thereafter, any additional system monitoring cost
shall be borne by the District.
7.2.4 Corrosion Advisory Panel. Within ninety (90) days after the
Effective Date, the Parties shall retain a review panel (the “Corrosion Advisory Panel”),
composed of two nationally recognized experts with experience in the design and conduct of
tests on the corrosiveness of water to system and consumer plumbing components. Each Party
shall have the right to appoint one member of the Corrosion Advisory Panel. The Corrosion
Advisory Panel shall be retained to review the design and length of the System Test and the
Consumer Plumbing Test, the interpretation of the results of said tests and the design of the
System Monitoring Plan, as more specifically provided in Section 7.2.1 and 7.2.2. The
Corrosion Advisory Panel shall meet one time in Carlsbad to become familiar with the project, to
review and comment, in writing, on the design and the proposed length of the said tests before
the design and length of said tests are finalized. Following the conduct of the said tests, the
results of said tests shall be transmitted to the Corrosion Advisory Panel and the Corrosion
Advisory Panel shall provide written review comments to the Parties. If the members of the
Corrosion Advisory Panel do not agree with each other on any advice or recommendation on any
12
DSMDB. l760968.12A
I.
matter, each member shall report his or her advice or recommendation on said matter
independently. Having reviewed and considered the advice and recommendations of the
Corrosion Advisory Panel, the Parties shall make their own independent judgments about the
design and length of the System Test and the Consumer Plumbing Test, and the design of the
System Monitoring Plan and about the interpretation of the results from the System Test and the
Consumer Plumbing Test.
8. WATER QUALITY.
8.1 Water Quality Issues. With respect to Product Water produced by the
Project, Poseidon and the District agree to work cooperatively to conduct, prior to
determinations of the Delivery Regime and Interconnection Points, mutually acceptable
technical studies pertaining to quality, blending, distribution and consumer acceptance
(including without limitation customer issues, such as color, cloudiness, taste and odor) of
Product Water, the impact of Product Water Quality on customer uses of water, the impact of
Product Water on the integrity of existing pipelines, and the impact of additional discharge of
municipal and industrial waste from Project facilities (collectively “Water Quality Issues”).
These studies shall include advice from a nationally recognized expert on the impact of boron
in irrigation water on ornamental plants (the “Boron Expert”). The Boron Expert shall be
mutually acceptable to both Parties. Except as provided in Sections 7.2.1, 7.2.2 and 7.2.3,
Poseidon, at its cost and expense, shall be responsible for such technical studies related to the
Water Quality Issues. The Delivery Regime and any revisions to the Quality Standards for
Product Water shall take into account the results of the technical studies described above.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Poseidon and the District agree to meet prior
to the Commercial Operation Date, and, upon request of the District, during the Term on a
periodic basis with the District’s major water customers, such as breweries, nurseries,
landscape irrigators, agricultural growers, biotechnology companies and cleaners, to discuss
and work to resolve issues those customers may have with receiving Product Water. Poseidon
shall cooperate with the District in resolving Water Quality Issues. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any change in the Delivery Regime or Quality Standards developed pursuant to this
Agreement shall be mutually agreed by the Parties.
8.2 Quality Standards. Compliance with Law, Pressure Parameters and
Water Quality Standards. All Product Water produced by the Project and delivered to the
Delivery Points must meet all of the following standards (collectively the “Quality Standards”):
(a) all drinking water quality standards under Applicable Law (whether now in force or hereafter
adopted) and action levels now in force or hereafter adopted by the California Department of
Health Services, (b) the water quality specifications set forth in Schedule 8.2. and (c) any
mutually-agreed change to the Quality Standards with respect to the Water Quality issues
described in Section 8.1 above or otherwise identified in the technical studies performed with
respect to such Water Quality Issues. Attached as Schedule 8.2 are the Quality Standards with
respect to the Project as of the Effective Date. The Quality Standards in Schedule 8.2 include
permitted variations for each water quality parameter specified. If the Product Water produced
by the Project at any time fails to meet all Quality Standards, then Poseidon immediately shall
notify the District, and the District and Poseidon shall meet promptly thereafter to determine
what corrective measures, if any, need to be taken. The Parties acknowledge that corrective
13
DSMDB.1760968.12A
measures may include, without limitation, segregating Product Water that fails to meet all
Quality Standards. Poseidon shall be responsible for any and all state and federal fines resulting
from Product Water that does not meet Applicable Law for drinking water quality.
8.3 Finalization of Water Quality Specification for Boron. The Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine, within one hundred and eighty (1 80) days after
the Effective Date, mutually-acceptable concentration limits for Boron to be included in
Schedule 8.2.
8.4 District’s Non-Acceptance. The District shall not be obligated to accept or pay
for Product Water of quality that does not meet the Quality Standards.
8.5 Compliance with Regulations on Water Quality. As a purveyor of drinking
water, the District is required to comply with regulations that address water quality in the
Distribution System and at the consumer’s tap (“Consumer Quality Standards”). If, following
the introduction of Product Water, the District is in violation of the Consumer Quality
Standards, then the District immediately shall notify the Poseidon, and the District and
Poseidon shall meet promptly thereafter to determine what corrective measures, if any, need to
be taken. If a Product Water Causation Event (as defined below) occurs, then the District,
upon written notice to Poseidon, may suspend deliveries of Product Water, and the District
shall not be obligated to pay for Product Water that causes the District to be in violation of the
Consumer Quality Standards; provided, however that prior to such suspension the District and
Poseidon shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to implement alternative corrective
measures to address a violation of the Consumer Quality Standards. A “Product Water
Causation Event” shall mean the occurrence of the following three (3) conditions: (i) Product
Water causes the District be in violation of the Consumer Quality Standards, (ii) such violation
would not be caused by the District’s likely alternative water supply and (iii) such violation is
not also caused in whole or in part by any action or omission of the District. Poseidon shall be
responsible for any and all state and federal fines resulting from a Product Water Causation
Event. With respect to the issue of causation of a District violation of the Consumer Quality
Standards, nothing set forth in this Section 8.5 shall be deemed or construed to shift the burden
of proof to Poseidon, or as a waiver by Poseidon of any claims or defenses.
9. DELIVERY OF WATER.
9.1 Delivery of Water. Subject to Sections 3.2.2 and 9.2, Poseidon shall pay for all
costs and expenses whatsoever of the delivery of Product Water to the Delivery Points in
accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation all costs and expenses of
compliance with all Applicable Laws related to the delivery of Product Water by Poseidon under
the provisions of this Agreement. The District shall be responsible for all costs and expenses
incurred after delivery of Product Water at the Delivery Points by Poseidon in compliance with
this Agreement. Subject to Section 8.5, the District shall accept all Product Water meeting the
Quality Standards made available at the Delivery Points in accordance with the Delivery
Regime.
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
14
9.2 Delivery Points. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
determine, within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, mutually-acceptable
interconnection points (“Interconnection Points”) for the interconnection of the Appurtenant
Facilities with the Distribution System. Poseidon, at its cost and expense, shall construct all
conveyance facilities, pipelines, pumps, pump stations and any other infrastructure (the
“Appurtenant Facilities”) necessary or required to deliver the Product Water to the
Interconnection Points. At any time after the Interconnection Points have been determined, the
District may notify Poseidon that the District elects to: (i) own the Appurtenant Facilities (except
for the pumping station located at the Encina Power Station) upon their completion or (ii) have a
joint powers authority own the Appurtenant Facilities, provided such joint powers authority has
equivalent capabilities to those of the District to operate and maintain the Appurtenant Facilities.
If the District makes such an election, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith on the terms of an
agreement (the “Appurtenant Facilities Agreement”) to: (i) transfer the Appurtenant Facilities to
the District (or a joint powers authority as described above) for a nominal amount; and
(ii) provide for the operation and maintenance of the Appurtenant Facilities by the District (or a
joint powers authority as described above) (including their operation to transport Product Water
in excess of the Contract Capacity for third-parties on terms sufficient to support Poseidon’s
obligations to such third-parties). If the District makes such an election, the “Delivery Point’’ for
the purpose of this Agreement shall be the connection of the Project and the Appurtenant
Facilities; otherwise the Delivery Point(s) shall be the Interconnection Point(s). If the District
(or a joint powers authority as described above) operates the Appurtenant Facilities the Base
Price shall be reduced by the non-capital portion of the Delivery Charge which represents
Poseidon’s projected cost of operating and maintaining the Appurtenant Facilities. If the District
has elected to own, or have a joint powers authority own, the Appurtenant Facilities, the District
may, at any time up to one hundred and eighty (180) days before the Projected Commencement
Date, elect to finance the cost of the Appurtenant Facilities; provided that the District’s proposed
financing structure shall not adversely affect Poseidon’s ability to finance the Project or perform
its other obligations under this Agreement. If the District makes such an election, the Base Price
shall be reduced by the capital portion of the Delivery Charge which represents Poseidon’s
projected cost of financing construction and operation of the Appurtenant Facilities.
9.3 Delivery Schedule. Poseidon and the District shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to develop, within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, a mutually
acceptable delivery regime (the “Delivery Regime”) for the delivery of Product Water from the
Project to the District. The Delivery Regime shall include a schedule of delivery so that the
average daily amount delivered to the District after the Commercial Operation Date is sufficient
to meet the District’s minimum daily requirements for Product Water (up to the Contract
Capacity). The Delivery Regime also shall be developed in coordination with the delivery
regimes for other purchasers of Product Water from the Project and for Product Water delivery
prior to the Commercial Operation Date to the extent Product Water meets the Quality Standards
and can be sold to the District prior to the Commercial Operation Date under Applicable Law.
9.4 Conveyance Losses. Poseidon shall be responsible for any water losses
incurred in the delivery of Product Water to the District up to the Delivery Point.
15
DSMDB.1760968.12A
9.5 Meters and Records. The Delivery Regime shall include mutually acceptable
procedures addressing the locations, testing and use of appropriate measurement devices to
measure the quantity and quality of Product Water delivered to the District. At a minimum, all
water release structures at the Delivery Points shall be equipped with totalizing flow meters and
Poseidon shall prepare and keep monthly readings therefrom. Throughout the Term, Poseidon
shall maintain records in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Laws and generally
accepted accounting principles, as appropriate, pertaining to the quantity and quality of water
delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The District shall be entitled to read the meters at least
once per month during regular business days and hours and to request and receive from Poseidon
copies of all such water delivery, quantity and quality records.
9.6 Reports. On or before the tenth (10th) day of each month during the Term
commencing after the Commercial Operation Date, Poseidon shall send written reports to the
District setting forth the amount of Product Water and the quality of Product Water delivered to
the Delivery Points during the immediately preceding month pursuant to this Agreement.
9.7 Liquidated Damages for Failure to Deliver. If Poseidon shall fail to deliver
at least ninety-six percent (96%) (the “Threshold”) of the Product Water meeting the Quality
Standards required by the Delivery Regime for any Initial Period or Extended Period (as each are
defined below) for any reason other than a Force Majeure event (as defined in Section 17 hereof)
or a breach of this Agreement by the District, then Poseidon shall pay the District as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty: (i) for an Initial Period, an amount equal to the positive difference,
if any, between the (A) per acre foot cost incurred by the District to obtain water and (B)
Purchase Price, for each acre foot of Product Water below the Threshold for the Initial Period
that Poseidon failed to deliver; and (ii) for an Extended Period, an additional amount equal to
fifty dollars ($50) per acre foot, for each acre foot of Product Water below the Threshold for the
Extended Period that Poseidon failed to deliver. “Initial Period” shall mean, as of any day
commencing on or after the thirtieth (30th) day after the Commercial Operation Date, the thirty
(30) days immediately preceding such day. “Extended Period” shall mean, as of any day
commencing on or after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day afier the Commercial
Operation Date, the one hundred and eighty (180) days immediately preceding such day.
Poseidon shall make payment of any liquidated damages by the thirtieth (30th) day of the month
immediately following the month containing the last day of the Initial Period(s) or Extended
Period(s) for which such liquidated damages arose. If Poseidon pays liquidated damages
pursuant to this Section 9.7 for any Initial Period for Product Water Poseidon failed to deliver,
Poseidon shall, solely for the purpose of determining whether Poseidon has met the Threshold in
subsequent Initial Periods, be deemed to have delivered such Product Water. If Poseidon pays
liquidated damages pursuant to this Section9.7 for any Extended Period for Product Water
Poseidon failed to deliver, Poseidon shall, solely for the purpose of determining whether
Poseidon has met the Threshold in subsequent Extended Periods, be deemed to have delivered
such Product Water. Poseidon expressly acknowledges that this provision is reasonable under
the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that (i) the
determination of the actual damages which are liquidated pursuant to this Section 9.7 is
impracticable or extremely difficult, (ii) otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy is inconvenient
and (iii) the liquidated damages provided for under this Section 9.7 constitute a reasonable
16
DSMDB.1760968.12A
-.
approximation of the harm or loss. The Parties agree that unless the failure to deliver Product
Water constitutes a Poseidon Event of Default pursuant to Section 14.1.1 (in which case, this
Section 9.7 shall no longer apply in the event the District pursues its remedies for a Poseidon
Event of Default), the payment of such liquidated damages shall be the District’s sole remedy for
Poseidon’s failure to deliver Product Water to the District. Poseidon’s obligations under this
Section 9.7 shall not be reduced or otherwise affected by any balance in the Tracking Account.
9.8 District Failure to Accept Product Water. To the extent Poseidon is unable to
deliver Product Water as required by the Delivery Regime as a result of a breach of this
Agreement by the District, the District shall make payment for such undelivered Product Water
(“Undelivered Water”) as if such Undelivered Water had been delivered to the District. Upon
the request of the District, Poseidon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such
Undelivered Water to third parties. Amounts received by Poseidon from the sale of such
Undelivered Water shall be paid to the District until the District has been reimbursed for the
amount paid by the District for such Undelivered Water pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties
agree that, unless the failure to accept Product Water constitutes a District Event of Default
pursuant to Section 14.3.2 (in which case, this Section 9.8 shall no longer apply in the event
Poseidon pursues its remedies for a District Event of Default), the District’s payment for
Undelivered Water shall be Poseidon’s sole remedy for the District’s failure to accept Product
Water as a result of a breach by the District.
10. PRIORITY FOR PROJECT WATER, PRICE REDUCTION.
10.1 Priority Poseidon shall not prefer any person, public corporation, agency, or
other consumers over the District with respect to delivery of water from the Project as a
customer of Poseidon; provided, however that in the event that the Project does not produce
enough Product Water for Poseidon to meet its obligations to the District under this Agreement
and to other purchasers of Product Water (a “Shortfall”), then for the first five (5) days of any
such Shortfall Poseidon may allocate Product Water so that the effects of the Shortfall are first
borne by the District for such five (5) day period. If the Shortfall lasts more than five (5) days,
then Poseidon shall allocate Product Water so that the effects of the Shortfall are first borne by
such other purchasers for the second five (5) day period of such Shortfall. If a Shortfall lasts
more than ten (10) days, Poseidon shall allocate Product Water for the remainder of the Shortfall
proportionately among all purchasers (including the District) based upon amounts of Product
Water each purchaser is obligated to purchase from Poseidon. Nothing in this Section 10.1 shall
limit Poseidon’s obligations under Section 9.7 or the District’s remedies upon the occurrence of
a Poseidon Event of Default. Poseidon’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected
by any agreements entered into by Poseidon and other purchasers of Product Water.
10.2 Price Reduction If Poseidon sells, conveys or transfers Product Water for a
price per acre foot that is less than the Base Price but otherwise on substantially the same terms
and conditions as contained in this Agreement, the Base Price immediately shall be lowered to
such lesser price per acre foot for all purchases of Product Water during the period Poseidon
makes such third-party sales. If Poseidon fails to lower the Base Price as aforesaid, then for all
such sales of Product Water for which the Base Price was not lowered, the District shall receive
a credit toward the Purchase Price that is equal to the amount by which the Base Price charged
17
DSMDB.1760968.12A
-.
under this Agreement exceeded such lesser price per acre foot for the amount of Product Water
sold by Poseidon at such lesser price per acre foot.
11. USE OF MAERKLE RESERVOIR
11.1 Maerkle Lease. Provided an uncured Poseidon Event of Default has not
occurred, then upon Poseidon's request, the District may lease to Poseidon, for an initial term of
not less than thirty (30) years after the Commercial Operation Date, capacity rights in Maerkle
Reservoir sufficient to store Product Water in amounts determined necessary by Poseidon, and
agreed to by the District, for delivery of Product Water produced by the Project to wholesale
customers other than the District. The lease (the "Maerkle Lease") will be consistent with the
principles for joint use of Maerkle Reservoir more particularly set forth in Section 1 1.4 below.
11.2 Appurtenant Facilities. If the Parties enter into the Maerkle Lease, then
Poseidon, at its cost and expense, shall construct all: (a) Appurtenant Facilities necessary or
required to move Product Water into Maerkle Reservoir; and (b) all facilities necessary or
required to move Product Water out of Maerkle Reservoir for the purpose of delivering such
Product Water to wholesale customers other than the District. Subject to any adjustment to the
Delivery Charge pursuant to Section9.2, Poseidon also shall be responsible for all capital,
operating and maintenance costs associated with connecting Maerkle Reservoir to such
Appurtenant Facilities as are necessary to transport Product Water into Maerkle Reservoir and to
such facilities as are necessary to transport Product Water out of Maerkle Reservoir for the
purpose of delivering such Product Water to wholesale customers other than the District.
11.3 District's Obligation. The District will operate and be responsible for all
operating and maintenance costs associated with facilities for transporting installments of
Contract Capacity purchased by the District from the Delivery Points into the Distribution
System.
11.4 Principles for Joint Use. Poseidon and the District shall cooperate to develop
mutually-acceptable principles for joint use of Maerkle Reservoir consistent with the intent of
this Agreement. The principles for joint use shall be included in the Maerkle Lease and will
address, without limitation, the following issues: (a) quantification of Poseidon's leased capacity
right; (b) the number and length of extension terms (which shall be at least coextensive with the
Term of this Agreement); (c) rent and/or other consideration Poseidon will pay or provide the
District in consideration for the lease of capacity rights, use of District property and operation of
Maerkle Reservoir (provided however, that Poseidon shall not have to pay rent and/or other
consideration to the extent its leased capacity right is used to deliver Product Water to the
District); (d) a reservoir operating plan and water delivery regime that takes into consideration
the District's operational and 1 0-day storage requirements; and (e) water quality and regulatory
compliance.
12. INSURANCE. From commencement of construction of the Project, Poseidon shall obtain
and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, the types and amounts of insurance
coverages for the Project set forth on Schedule 12. The District may require Poseidon to obtain
and maintain insurance coverages in addition to those described on Schedule 12 (the "Additional
18
DSMDB.1760968.12A
.--
Insurance”), subject to (i) such Additional Insurance being commercially available and (ii) the
District reimbursing Poseidon for the cost of the premiums for such Additional Insurance.
Poseidon shall deliver proof reasonably acceptable to the District of properly executed insurance
coverages evidencing compliance with the insurance requirements herein at least ten (1 0) days
prior to Poseidon’s anticipated date for commencement of construction of the Project (the
“Projected Commencement Date”).
12.1 Form. Each policy required under Section 12 shall: (a) be provided at
Poseidon’s expense; (b) be issued by an insurance company which maintains a Best’s rating of at
least A- during the term of the applicable policy or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the
District and (c) require the insurer to provide the District thirty (30) days prior written notice (ten
(10) days for non-payment of premium), by certified mail, return receipt requested, of
cancellation or intent not to renew any policy of insurance required in this Agreement.
Certificates and endorsements evidencing such insurance coverage shall be delivered to the
District by Poseidon prior to the Projected Commencement Date. To the extent that an insurance
company providing a policy required under this Section 12 fails to maintain a Best’s rating of at
least A- and is not otherwise reasonably acceptable to the District, Poseidon shall promptly
replace such insurance company with a company meeting the requirements of this Section 12.1.
Current Insurance Service Office (ISO) or other reasonable and customary policies, forms and
endorsements or broader shall be used where applicable.
12.2 District’s Right to Procure. If Poseidon fails to keep the insurance coverages
required in this Agreement in full force and effect with insurance companies which maintain a
Best’s rating of at least A- or which are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the District, the
District, subject to the rights of Poseidon’s lenders, may (but shall have no obligation to) at any
time or from time to time, after giving notice thereof to Poseidon, procure such insurance and
pay the premiums therefor, in which event Poseidon shall repay the District all sums paid by the
District, and any costs or expenses incurred by the District in connection therewith, together with
interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date due until paid in full, within ten (10) days
following the District’s written demand to Poseidon for such payment. The cost of such
insurance premium and the cost of any claims or losses for which Poseidon would be liable to
the District under this Agreement which fall within the applicable deductibles or self-insured
retention amounts may be deducted, at the option of the District, from payments otherwise due
Poseidon. The District shall be under no obligation to purchase such insurance or be responsible
for the coverages purchased or the financial stability or responsibility of the insurance company
used. The decision to purchase such insurance coverages shall in no way be construed as a
waiver of the District’s rights under this Agreement.
12.3 Deductibles, Excess Claims. The District shall not be responsible for the
amount of any deductibles, self-insured retention, or claims which are not covered and claims
which exceed available insurance coverage.
12.4 Additional Insureds. The District, the City and the RDA each shall be named
as additional insureds on all policies of liability insurance required by this Agreement, other than
workers’ compensation, but including employer’s liability.
19
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
..
12.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Poseidon shall require its insurance camer(s)
furnishing the insurance required herein to waive all rights of subrogation against the District,
including without limitation each of its directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees,
for any and all amounts of claims paid from insurance proceeds. The District shall waive all
rights of subrogation against Poseidon, including its directors, officers, agents, representatives
and employees, for any and all amounts of claims paid from insurance proceeds.
12.6 Statement of Insurance. If at any time the District requests a written statement
from any of Poseidon's insurers as to any impairments to any aggregate policy limit, Poseidon
promptly shall authorize and have delivered such statement to the District.
12.7 Primary Insurance for Additional Insureds. Poseidon's insurance policies
shall provide that the insurance afforded by those policies to the additional insureds is primary to
all insurance or self-insurance carried by the District. Poseidon acknowledges that all insurance
or self-insurance carried by the District is strictly excess and shall not contribute with Poseidon's
liability insurance.
13. CONDITIONS, ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

services are subject to the availability of sufficient treatment or conveyance capacity.
14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
14.1 Default by Poseidon. The occurrence of any of the following (unless caused
by a Force Majeure event or a breach of this Agreement by the District) shall constitute a

three hundred and sixty five (365) days immediately preceding such day;
14.1.2 Extended Water Supply Shortfall. Poseidon’s failure to supply at least
the Threshold amount of the Product Water required to be delivered to the District pursuant to
the Delivery Regime for any five (5) out of eight (8) Water Years (an “Extended Shortfall”);
provided, however that the occurrence of an Extended Shortfall shall not constitute a Poseidon
Event of Default unless upon such occurrence: (i) the District is unable to acquire water from an
alternative source sufficient to make up the shortfall in the Contract Capacity to be provided to
the District hereunder, or (ii) the blending of Product Water with alternative supplies of water
obtained by the District to make up such shortfall has a material adverse effect on the quality of
water in the Distribution System.
14.1.3 Failure to Meet Water Quality Standards. Poseidon’s failure to comply
with its obligations under Section 8.2;
14.1.4 Failure to Perform. Poseidon’s failure to observe or perform any of the

22
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
Section 8.2, to which Section 14.1.3 applies), where such failure shall continue for a period of
thirty(30) days after written notice of such failure from the District to Poseidon; provided,
however, that if the nature of Poseidon's default under this Section 14.1.4 is such that more than

Poseidon commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion;
14.1.5 Failure to Perform Related Agreements. The occurrence of an event of
default of Poseidon under any other agreement between the Parties which specifically provides

failure to accept Product Water, to which Section 14.3.2 applies), where such failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure from Poseidon to the
District; provided, however, that if the nature of the District’s default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are required for its cure, then the District shall not be deemed to be in default if
the District commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion;
14.3.4 Failure to Perform Related Agreements. The occurrence of an event of
default of the District under any other agreement between the Parties which specifically provides

occur, Poseidon, upon the lapse of the applicable cure period, as also set forth above, may
terminate this Agreement and/or pursue any remedy available to it at law or in equity,
including without limitation commencing an action against the District for damages
recoverable under Section 14.5 incurred by Poseidon in connection with any such event of
default.
14.5 Damages Recoverable. For the breach of a contractual obligation under this
Agreement, the measure of damages is the amount which will compensate the non-breaching
party for the detriment proximately caused thereby, or which, in the ordinary course of things,
is foreseeable as a probable result of the breach, subject to any applicable defenses with respect
to such damages. Loss may be foreseeable as a probable result of the breach (a) in the ordinary
course of events, or (b) as a result of special circumstances, beyond the ordinary course of
events, of which as of the Effective Date the breaching party knew or should have known.
Damages are not recoverable for loss that the breaching party did not have reason to foresee as
of the Effective Date as a probable result of the breach.

donate, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or encumber (any such disposition is hereinafter referred
27
DSMDB.1760968.12A
to as “Transfer”), all or any portion of its interest in the Project (hereinafter a “Property Interest”)
without first complying with the provisions of Section 18.2 of this Agreement. Except as
provided in Section 2 1.16, any purported Transfer of a Property Interest without compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.
18.2 Right of First Offer.
18.2.1 Notice of Transfer. If Poseidon desires to Transfer a Property Interest,
Poseidon shall first give written notice (the “Request”) to the District of Poseidon’s desire to
Transfer a Property Interest, requesting that the District provide Poseidon with an offer to
purchase the Property Interest.
18.2.2 District Offer. The District shall be entitled, but not required, within
ninety(90) days following delivery of the Request, to deliver a written offer (an “Offer”) to
Poseidon specifLing the price and the other terms pursuant to which the District would be willing
to purchase the Property Interest. Poseidon shall be entitled, but not obligated, to accept the
Offer, within sixty(60) days after the delivery of the Offer (the c‘Acceptance Deadline”) by

rejected.
18.2.3 Closing. The closing of the Transfer of the Property Interest in
accordance with an Accepted Offer shall be upon a mutually agreed date (but no later than
ninety (90) days following the Acceptance Deadline). The District shall deliver the purchase
price at the closing and at or prior to the closing the Parties shall execute and deliver such other
documents as are reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer of the Property Interest upon
the terms set forth in the Accepted Offer.

rejected Poseidon desires to sell the Property Interest, Poseidon may, at any time within one
hundred eighty (1 80) days after the Acceptance Deadline, Transfer such Property Interest to any
third party upon terms (i) no less favorable in the aggregate as those contained in the rejected
Offer or (ii) less favorable in the aggregate as those contained in the rejected Offer, subject to the
District having ninety (90) days to elect to acquire the Property Interest on such less favorable
terms. If a sale of the Property Interest does not occur within one hundred eighty (180) days
after an Offer has been rejected or deemed rejected, Poseidon shall not consummate such sale
without again complying with the provisions of this Section 18.2.
19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The Parties shall establish prior to the Commercial Operation

committee (the “Committee”) consisting of two (2) management representatives each from
Poseidon and the District and an independent representative (the “Independent Representative”).
The Independent Representative shall be mutually acceptable to both Parties and shall be a
person either with (i) experience in the construction and operation of facilities such as the Project
or (ii) such other qualifications as are relevant with respect to a particular dispute. The Parties
may change the Independent Representative upon mutual agreement. The Parties shall provide
28
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
I
written notice of appointment of their respective Committee representatives to the Independent
Representative promptly following the date the Committee is established. If either Party's
representatives change, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and the Independent
Representative of the change. The Committee shall meet as the circumstances may deem
necessary to resolve any disputes under this Agreement. All disputes arising from this
Agreement shall be submitted to the Committee for resolution as a condition precedent to
seeking any other relief under this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Independent
Representative shall be shared equally by the Parties. If the procedures referenced in this
Section do not result in resolution of the dispute within ten(l0) business days after
commencement of the Committee meeting: (a) the Parties, upon mutual agreement, may submit
the dispute to binding or advisory arbitration for resolution in accordance with such procedures
as are mutually agreed; or (b) either Party may commence legal action in a court of competent
jurisdiction to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement.
20. INDEMNITY.
20.1 District's Indemnity. The District shall save, indemnify, hold harmless and
defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Poseidon), Poseidon, its successors, assigns and
affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, controlling persons (if any), employees,
attorneys, agents, consultants and shareholders (the "Poseidon Indemnitees") from, against and
in respect of any and all claims (including third party claims), suits, actions, proceedings
(formal and informal), investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements and
liabilities (collectively "Losses") as and when incurred by any of the Poseidon Indemnitees
arising out of or based upon any breach or alleged breach of any express representation,
warranty, covenant, or agreement of the District contained in this Agreement or in any
document, instrument, or agreement executed and delivered by the Parties in connection
herewith which specifically provides for the applicability of the indemnity provisions of this
Agreement. The District shall not, however, be required to indemnify any of the Poseidon
Indemnitees to the extent any Losses arise from or relate to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any of the Poseidon Indemnitees.
20.2 Poseidon's Indemnity. Poseidon shall save, indemnify, hold harmless and
defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the District), the District, its successors, assigns
and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, controlling persons (if any), staff
members, employees, attorneys, agents and consultants (the "District Indemnitees") from,
against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of or based upon any breach or alleged
breach of any express representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Poseidon contained
in this Agreement or in any document, instrument, or agreement executed and delivered by the
Parties in connection herewith which specifically provides for the applicability of the
indemnity provisions of this Agreement. Poseidon shall not, however, be required to
indemnify any of the District Indemnitees to the extent any Losses arise from or relate to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the District Indemnitees.
20.3 Indemnification Procedures. Each Party's obligations with respect to this
Section 20 are subject to the condition that the indemnified Party gives the indemnifying Party
reasonably prompt notice of any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder. The
29
DSMDB.1760968.12A
indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of such claim (and pending assumption of
defense, an indemnified Party may take such steps to defend against such claim as, in such
indemnified Party's good faith judgment, are appropriate to protect its interests). The
indemnifying Party shall pay such indemnified Party's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with such cooperation. The indemnifying Party shall keep the
indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of the defense of such claim. After
notice from the indemnifying Party to an indemnified Party of the assumption, and the defense
of a claim, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such indemnified Party for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof other than those expenses referred to above. The indemnifying Party at the
indemnifying Party's own expense and through counsel chosen by the indemnifying Party
(which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party), shall defend any
claim; provided, however, that if, in the indemnified Party's and the indemnifying Party's
reasonable judgment at any time, either a conflict of interest arises between such indemnifying
Party and the indemnified Party or if there are defenses which are different from or in addition
to those available to the indemnifying Party and/or the indemnified Party and the
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate, then such
indemnified Party shall have the right to employ one law firm as counsel, together with a
separate local law firm in each applicable jurisdiction (if necessary) ("Separate Counsel"), to
represent such indemnified Party in any action or group of related actions (which firm or firms
shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying Party), and in that event: (a) the reasonable
fees and expenses of such Separate Counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying Party (it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one Separate Counsel (excluding such local counsel referred to above) with respect to any
claim (even if against multiple indemnified Parties)); and (b) the indemnifying Party shall have
the right to conduct its own defense in respect of such claim. If the indemnifying Party does
not defend against a claim, the indemnified Party may defend, compromise and settle such
claim and shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (to the extent permitted by this
Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying Party shall not, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of
any judgment unless: (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any
violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made
against the indemnified Party; and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are
paid in full by indemnifying Party.
21. MISCELLANEOUS.
21.1 Further Actions. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, each
Party agrees to take such actions and to execute and deliver such documents as the other Party
may reasonably request to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
21.2 Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or
terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against which the enforcement
30
DSMDB.1760968.12A
-.
of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to
the extent set forth in such writing.
21.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding
among the Parties with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous understandings or agreements among the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, whether oral or written.
21.4 Notices. Any notice, approval, consent, waiver or other communication
required or permitted to be given or to be served upon any Party in connection with this
Agreement shall be in writing. Such notice shall be personally served, sent by facsimile, sent
prepaid by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by reputable
overnight delivery service, such as Federal Express, and shall be deemed given: (a) if personally
served, when delivered to the Party to whom such notice is addressed; (b) if given by facsimile,
when sent, provided that the confirmation sheet from the sending fax machine confirms that the
total number of pages were successfully transmitted; (c) if given by prepaid or certified mail

21.5 Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any
choice-of-law or conflicts-of-laws rule or principle that would result in the application of any
other laws.
21.6 Headings. Headings, titles and captions are for convenience only and shall not
constitute a portion of this Agreement or be used for the interpretation thereof.
21.7 Cumulative Rights; Waiver. The rights created under this Agreement, or by
law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No
failure by any Party to exercise, and no delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising
any rights, shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise by any Party preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. Any waiver of any provision or of any breach of any provision of this Agreement must be
in writing, and any waiver by any Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that provision or of any
breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered or
construed or deemed a waiver of any provision or any breach of any provision of this Agreement
or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or
provision or any other term or provision of this Agreement.
21.8 Liberal Construction. This Agreement constitutes a fully-negotiated
agreement among commercially sophisticated Parties, each assisted by legal counsel, and the
terms of this Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party hereto
because that Party or its legal representative drafted or prepared such provision.
21.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be ruled invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, then the Parties shall: (a) promptly negotiate a substitute for such provision
which shall, to the greatest extent legally permissible, therein effect the intent of the Parties in
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision; and (b) negotiate such changes in, substitutions
for or additions to the remaining provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary in addition to
and in conjunction with clause (a) above to give effect to the intent of the Parties without the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. To the extent that the Parties are able to negotiate
such changes, substitutions or additions as set forth in the preceding sentence, and the intent of
the Parties with respect to the essential terms of the Agreement may be carried out without the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, then the balance of this Agreement shall not be
affected, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision did not exist.
21.10 Good Faith and Fair Dealing. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the performances required by the provisions of this Agreement shall be undertaken in good faith,
and with all Parties dealing fairly with one another.
21.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 20, this Agreement does not
create, and shall not be construed to create, any rights enforceable by any person, partnership,
32
DSMDB . 1 760968.12A
corporation, joint venture, limited liability company or other form of organization or association
of any kind that is not a party to this Agreement.
21.12 Execution in Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be
detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon, provided such
signature page is attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except for having an
additional signature page executed by the other Party. Each Party agrees that the other Party
may rely upon the facsimile signature of a Party on this Agreement as constituting a duly
authorized, irrevocable, actual, current delivery of this Agreement as fully as if this Agreement
contained the original ink signature of the Party supplying a facsimile signature.
21.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of
this Agreement. Unless business days are expressly provided for, all references to “days” herein
shall refer to consecutive calendar days. If any date or time period provided for in this
Agreement is or ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state or legal holiday, then such date
shall automatically be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state
or legal holiday.
21.14 Authority. Each Party shall deliver to the other Party copies of such
resolutions, certificates or written assurances evidencing authorization to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement.

other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. As used herein, and as the
circumstances require, the plural term shall include the singular, the singular shall include the
plural, the neuter term shall include the masculine and feminine genders, the masculine term

21.1 6 Assignment.
21.16.1 Assignment by Poseidon. Except as otherwise specifically permitted
by Section 18 and this Section 21.16, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or
obligations hereunder may be assigned by Poseidon without the District’s prior written consent,
which consent may be withheld in the District’s sole discretion. Poseidon shall not assign its
rights under this Agreement to any third party if such third party would not be obligated to
comply with Applicable Laws with respect to its ownership and operation of the Project.
Poseidon shall transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any transferee of
Poseidon’s rights with respect to the Project.
21.16.2 Financing Assignments. Poseidon may, without the consent of the
District make such assignments as are necessary to create security interests for the financing of
any of its obligations under this Agreement with bona fide third party lenders in bona fide loan
transactions. In the event of such an assignment by Poseidon the District shall furnish such
33
DSMDB.1760968.12A
information, consents, certificates, opinions of counsel and other documentation or assistance
related to this Agreement as is reasonable and customary and mutually agreed by the Parties.
Such consents shall include an undertaking by Poseidon’s lenders not to terminate this
Agreement as long as the District continues to perform its obligations hereunder and to
cooperate with the District in any exercise by the District of its rights under Section 14.2.2.
21.16.3 Assignment by the District. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the District without Poseidon’s
prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Poseidon’s sole discretion. As a
condition to Poseidon’s consent to such assignment, Poseidon shall have the right to negotiate
changes to the terms of this Agreement with the District’s assignee, including but not limited to
changes to provisions addressing: (i) differences between the Base Price and the Avoided Water
Cost, (ii) termination events, (iii) testing and responsibility for water distribution systems, (iv)
the Delivery Point and the Appurtenant Facilities; (v) the conditions to the District’s obligations
to purchase Product Water and (vi) defaults and remedies.
21.16.4 General. Any assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights,
interests, or obligations hereunder shall be of no force or effect until the proposed assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such
signed writing is delivered to the non-assigning party.
21.16.5 Inurement. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns,
and successors-in-interest of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Poseidon or any merger, reorganization or consolidation
where Poseidon is not the surviving or resulting entity, or any transfer by Poseidon of all or
substantially all of its assets shall be deemed to be an assignment within the meaning of this
Section. In such event, provided the District consents to any such voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, merger, reorganization, consolidation, or transfer of assets, the surviving or resulting
district, authority, agency, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company,
public entity or other form of organization or association to which such assets shall be
transferred or which is carrying on the business of Poseidon shall be obligated to perform
Poseidon’s obligations hereunder.
21.17 Relationship. Poseidon is an independent contractor and the relationship
between the Parties shall be limited to performance of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms. Neither Party shall have any responsibility with respect to the services to be provided or
contractual benefits assumed by the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
constitute either Party a partner, agent or legal representative of the other Party. No liability or
benefits, such as workers’ compensation, pension rights or liabilities, other provisions or
liabilities arising out of or related to a contract for hire or employer/employee relationship, shall
arise or accrue to any Party’s agent or employee as a result of this Agreement or its performance.
21.18 Agreement Not a Discretionary Approval. The execution of this Agreement
and its performance prior to the date on which the Project has been approved under CEQA, (the
“Approval Date”) (if and when such date shall occur) shall not be deemed or construed to
34
DSMDB.1760968.12A
constitute any discretionary approval of the Project or any part thereof that is required from the
City, the District or the RDA. The District shall file a Notice of Exemption under CEQA for
the execution of this Agreement prior to the Approval Date, and shall file a Notice of
Determination under CEQA for the District as responsible agency under CEQA, if and when the
Approval Date shall occur. Poseidon agrees to reimburse the District for any legal fees and costs
incurred by or awarded against the District in connection with any third party claim or suit
challenging the District’s actions under CEQA with respect to the Project to the same extent
Poseidon is obligated to reimburse the City for such amounts pursuant to that certain agreement
between the City and Poseidon dated January 2 1,2004.
21.19 Financing of the Project. Poseidon agrees that it will not incur indebtedness
secured by the Project in excess of (i) with respect to the initial financing of the Project, the
projected cost of the Project as of the date such indebtedness is incurred and (ii) with respect to
any subsequent financing of the Project, the fair market value of the Project as of the date such
indebtedness is incurred.
21.20 Project and Site Devoted to Public Use. This Agreement grants certain
contractual rights to the District, including but not limited to the right to purchase Product
Water from Poseidon, the right of first offer described in Section 18 of this Agreement, and the
right to exercise the options described in Sections 2 and 14.2.2 of this Agreement. The Parties
intend by the grant of these rights to devote the Project and Poseidon’s interest in the Site to
public use by the City and the District to the extent of the Contract Capacity, under the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The fact that the Project and the Site have been
appropriated to public use by the City and the District to the extent provided herein shall not
give the City or the District any additional rights not specifically set forth in this Agreement,
but instead reflects the District’s independent judgment that this Agreement and Poseidon’s
use of the Site is integral to the District’s public purpose of providing water to District and
City residents. The rights the District has established under this Agreement result in the
Project, the Site and Poseidon’s interest in the Site being “appropriated to public use by a local
public entity [(the City and the District)]” for the purposes of California Code of Civil
Procedure 6 1240.660.
21.21 Recordation of Agreement. The Parties shall record this Agreement.
21.22 Security. As security for its obligations under this Agreement, including
without limitation Sections 6.2, 7.1, 7.2.3, 8.2, 8.5, 9.7, 10.2, 12.2 and 20.2 hereof, prior to the
Commercial Operation Date Poseidon shall obtain and maintain an irrevocable, standby letter
of credit (or such other form of security reasonably acceptable to the District) in the amount of
Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). If such security (the “Security”) is
provided in the form of a letter of credit (the “LOC”), such LOC shall: (a) be issued by a
financial institution (i) having an investment grade long-term, unsecured senior debt rating
from Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (ii) is otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the District; (b) name the District as beneficiary; (c) have a minimum
term of one (1) year; (d) automatically extend for not less than six (6) months unless the
issuing financial institution provides at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination
or non-renewal to the District; (e) provide for the District to make drawings thereon: (i) after
35
DSMDB.1760968.12A
the occurrence of a Poseidon Event of Default, in the amount of any finally adjudicated amount
payable to the District under this Agreement by Poseidon or (ii) in the full amount of the LOC
in the event the issuing financial institution provides the notice of termination or non-renewal
described in clause (d) above and (0 otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the District. The District shall return the Security to Poseidon contemporaneously with any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2.2. If Poseidon fails to obtain the
Security as required by this Section 21.22, or if Poseidon fails to replenish the amount of such
Security after a drawing thereon resulting from a Poseidon Event of Default, then the District,
upon written notice to Poseidon, may suspend deliveries of Product Water.

Schedule 3
Purchase Price
1. Adiustments to Base Price
(a) Adiustment. Commencing at the beginning of the first Water Year and
thereafter at the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, the Base Price in effect for the
upcoming calendar quarter (Base Pricei) shall be adjusted as follows:
Base Pricei= Base Pricelnitial x ((70% x (CPIi + CPIInitial)) + (30% x (ECi + EClnitial)))
Where :
Base PriceIGtid = the Base Price as determined pursuant to Section 3.1.1 of the
Agreement (excluding any adjustment pursuant to this Schedule 3)
CPIi = the most recently published value of the CPI as of the first day of calendar
quarteq
CPIInitial = the most recently published value of the CPI as of the Effective Date
CPI = the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) (1982-84 = 100)
for the San Diego MSA published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor
ECi = the average cost (weighted by the Project’s use of electricity) of electricity
used by the Project (expressed in $/MWH) for the calendar quarteri-1, provided,
however, that for the first adjustment of the Base Price pursuant to this
Agreement, ECi shall be equal to ECIitid x (CPIi/CPIhitid)
EClnitial = $60/MWH
Solely for illustrative purposes, a hypothetical example of the calculation of the
Base Price as of the beginning of the third Water Year is set forth as Attachment
A to this Schedule 3.
(b) Chanpe in Index. If a substantial change is made in the manner in which
the CPI is calculated, then the CPI will be adjusted to the figure that would have been used had
the manner of computing the CPI in effect at the date of this Agreement not been altered. If the
CPI (or a successor or substitute index) is not available, a reliable governmental or other
nonpartisan publication evaluating the information used in determining the CPI will be used. No
adjustments will be made due to any revision that may be made in the CPI for any month.
(c) Statements. Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of a Water
Year, Poseidon shall prepare and provide to the District for its review a statement of any
adjustment to the Base Price made pursuant to this Schedule 3.
(d) No Decreases. In no event shall the Base Price be reduced as a result of
adjustments made pursuant to this Schedule 3.
DSMDB. 1760968.12A

2. Avoided Water Cost
Components. The Avoided Water Cost shall equal the sum of (i) the
SDCWA Price (defined in Paragraph 2(b) below), (ii) the Other Avoided Charges (defined in
Paragraph 2(c) below) and (iii) the Subsidy andor any other new or additional third party
financial support for the District’s purchase of Product Water which the District actually
receives, either in cash or credit, for the applicable Water Year.
SDCWA Price. As used herein, “SDCWA Price” shall mean: the sum of
all of the amounts, whether now or hereafter imposed and however now or hereafter delineated,
named or identified, and whether or not such amounts vary with the amount of water supplied
(with any fixed amounts converted to an applicable per acre-foot amount), that the San Diego
County Water Authority (the “Authority”) charges or would charge the District to supply and
transport water to the District; excluding, however all of the amounts, whether now or hereafter
imposed and however now or hereafter delineated, named or identified, that the District is
required to pay the Authority, after the Commercial Operation Date, to maintain the right to
receive water from the Authority regardless of whether it purchases any water therefrom.
Other Avoided Charges. As used herein, “Other Avoided Charges” shall
mean: the sum of all of the amounts (without duplication of any components of the SDCWA
Price), whether now or hereafter imposed or otherwise incurred and however now or hereafter
delineated, named or identified, and whether or not such amounts vary with the amount of water
supplied (with any fixed amounts converted to an applicable per acre-foot amount), that (i) any
entity other than the Authority charges or would charge the District to supply and transport water
to the District or (ii) are otherwise not incurred by the District from such other entity as a result
of its purchase of Product Water hereunder; excluding, however (x) all of the amounts, whether
now or hereafter imposed and however now or hereafter delineated, named or identified, that the
District is required to pay to such other entity, after the Commercial Operation Date, to maintain
the right to receive water from such other entity regardless of whether it purchases any water
therefrom; and (y) all capital expenditures not incurred by the District as a result of its purchase
of Product Water hereunder.
Adiustment of SDCWA Price. If a change is made in the Authority’s
water rate structure or the methodology used by the Authority to determine its water rates
(collectively, a “Rate Structure Change”) which materially lowers the SDCWA Price, then the
SDCWA Price will be subject to an appropriate adjustment so that the SDCWA Price as so
adjusted will be substantially the same as the SDCWA Price had the Rate Structure Change not
occurred. If the SDCWA ceases to exist, then the SDCWA Price shall thereafter be based on a
rate of the then-largest agency, other than the State of California, delivering and selling water at
wholesale to retail agencies in San Diego County, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to
agree on such substitute rate, which shall reflect water cost information substantially equivalent
to the SDCWA Price in effect just prior to SDCWA’s cessation of existence.
3. Tracking Account.
Additions to Trackinn Account. If during all or any portion of a Water
Year the Base Price is greater than the Avoided Water Cost, then at the end of such Water Year
an amount shall be added to a nominal tracking account (the “Tracking Account”) based on the
difference between the Base Price and such Avoided Water Cost, as follows:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(a)
2
DSMDB. 1760968.12A
(Base Price minus Avoided Water Cost) times (the number of acre-feet of Product
Water sold to the District in such Water Year or during the portion of such Water
Year that the Base Price exceeded the Avoided Water Cost, as applicable,
including Product Water deemed to be sold pursuant to Section 9.8).
(b) Deductions from Tracking Account. If during all or any portion of a
Water Year the Avoided Water Cost is greater than the Base Price and the balance of the
Tracking Account is greater than zero (0), the following amount (the “Deferred Payment”) (up to
the total balance of the Tracking Account) shall be included in the invoice for the last month of
such Water Year and shall be paid by the District to Poseidon:
(Avoided Water Cost minus Base Price) times (the number of acre-feet of Product
Water sold to the District in such Water Year or during the portion of such Water
Year that the Avoided Water Cost exceeded the Base Price, as applicable,
including Product Water deemed to be sold pursuant to Section 9.8).
(c) the balance of the Tracking Account is greater than zero (0), Poseidon’s rights with respect to the
Tracking Account shall terminate; provided however, that if the District has exercised its
Purchase Option, the balance of the Tracking account shall be paid to Poseidon by the District in
addition to the Purchase Option Price.
4. Additional Payment. If during all or any portion of a Water Year the Avoided Water Cost is
greater than the Base Price and the balance of the Tracking Account is zero (0) (taking into
account any deductions from the Tracking Account for such Water Year pursuant to Paragraph
3(b) above), a payment (the “Additional Payment”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the following
amount shall be included in the invoice for the last month of such Water Year and shall be paid
by the District to Poseidon:
Other TrackinP Account Provisions. If at the expiration of the Term
((Avoided Water Cost minus Base Price) times (the number of acre-feet of
Product Water sold to the District in such Water Year or during the portion of
such Water Year that the Avoided Water Cost exceeded the Base Price, as
applicable, including Product Water deemed to be sold pursuant to Section 9.8))
minus (any Deferred Payment for such Water Year).

Project will be located at a site adjacent to the Encina Power
Station in the City of Carlsbad (the “City”).
The City of Carlsbad, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (the
“District”), the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment
Commission (the “RDA”) and Poseidon Resources (Channelside),
LLC (“Poseidon”).
This Term Sheet is intended to provide a basis for the negotiation
of a comprehensive development agreement (“Agreement”) and
should not be construed as all-inclusive. Further, this Term Sheet
represents the intentions of the parties as of the date it is
executed. Poseidon recognizes that the Agreement is subject to
public review and approval by the Carlsbad City Council and the
California Coastal Commission (the “Coastal Commission”).
Poseidon recognizes that the Agreement is subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act.
The Agreement vests or “freezes in place” the General Plan,
zoning, and PDP if they are approved concurrently for the
Poseidon site. Any hture permit or approval shall be governed
solely by laws, ordinances and regulations of the City in effect at
the time the Agreement is adopted.
The term shall be 40 years from the date the Agreement is
effective, which is when it is approved by the Coastal
Commission, or the ordinance adopting the Agreement becomes
effective, whichever is the later event.
The Agreement shall be recorded and run with the leasehold
interest, and its obligations shall bind any successors in interest
who assume, use or occupy the Poseidon leasehold. Per
Government Code Section 65868.5, the “burdens of the
agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of the
agreement shall inure to, all successors in interest to the parties to
the agreement.”
Payment of Taxes and Fee
in Lieu of Taxes
Poseidon and successors in interest shall pay a fee in lieu of taxes
to the City equal to the property taxes that the City, the District
and the RDA would receive from the construction and operation
of a desalination facility on the Poseidon leasehold, such fee to be
waived so long as the leaseholder pays property taxes due under
state law for the use and occupancy of the leasehold, and does not
claim a partial or full exemption from payment for such tax.
Neither Poseidon nor its successors in interest shall contest the
payment of (i) any property taxes validly imposed under
applicable law or (ii) the fee in lieu of taxes described above.
Exemption from Any
Future Special Water
Production Tax or
Franchise Fee
The City agrees that for the term of the Agreement, so long as the
City is paid the taxes, or fee in lieu of taxes described in the
preceding section, it will not levy in a discriminatory manner
against Poseidon any tax or fee. For example, it will not attempt
to collect from Poseidon a franchise fee, tax, or other monetary
charge levied only on businesses which produce or sell water, and
if such fee, tax or charge is adopted by the City, Poseidon and its
successors shall be exempt.
Modification or
Termination Per Code,
Provisions for Mandated
Annual Review
Per Government Code Section 65865.1, the City may terminate or
modify the Agreement if it finds on the basis of substantial

complied in good faith with its terms and conditions. Provisions

parties expect to apply for the approval of the Coastal
Commission as soon as is practicable thereafter.

to the City, may be assigned and delegated by Poseidon in its
discretion, in connection with a permitted assignment of the
Water Purchase Agreement. If any entity acquires the leasehold
by condemnation or involuntary sale, this Agreement and its
