| Lease | APNs | |
| Casmalia | 000-000-000, 000-000-000, 000-000-000, 000-000-000, 000-000-000, and 000-000-000 | |

As shown in Exhibit A (including any additions or subtractions thereto pursuant to Section 2C as amended by Amendment No. 1).
| 2. | Xxxxxxxxx 0, XXXX, is amended to read: |
The term of this agreement commences on the first date first written above and terminates on December 31, 2035, unless terminated earlier under the conditions of Section 15 of this Agreement. This agreement may be extended for in additional five (5) year increments at the option of the DISTRICT.
| 3. | Paragraph 3.B, DELIVERY OF RECYCLED WATER, is amended to read: |
DISTRICT shall supply recycled water to USER’s Casmalia lease from DISTRICT’S storage facilities and or DISTRICT’S outfall pipeline. USER estimated initial annual demand is approximately 300 million gallons. Supply may increase as DISTRICT’S plant flow and production increases. Any such increases in recycled water supply will be offered to USER on a first right of refusal basis prior to distribution to other users. USER intends to initially pump recycled water at an average rate of 500 gallons per minute (gpm).
Pursuant to Paragraph 2.C, USER wishes to expand Project Area to include recycled water delivery to its Escolle and Orcutt leases. Exhibits A and B, hereby incorporated by reference, are further amended to include these new use sites in the Project Area.
Delivery of recycled water to these new use sites requires the extension of existing DITSRICT distribution pipeline systems and onsite private pipeline systems. The portion of the distribution system originating from the terminus of DISTRICT’s existing distribution pipeline and extending to the Project Areas will be known as DISTRICT’s portion. All distribution system improvements located onsite of the Project Areas will be known as USER’S portion. USER is willing, at their cost, to finance the design and construction of the extension of the DISTRICT’s portion of the distribution system extension given the following provisions:
| A. | The DISTRICT’s portion will be owned and maintained by DISTRICT and will be designed to deliver recycled water at a rate of 2,000 gpm. |
| B. | DISTRICT will act as the “Lead Agency” and “Applicant” for all local, state, and federal permits required to construct and operate the DISTRICT’s portion of the distribution system extension. |
| C. | USER will place on deposit with DISTRICT, funds to pay for costs associated with environmental review, and permitting. Deposited funds will be held in the Public Works Department trust fund and must contain a balance sufficient to cover the cost of all contracts or payment of fees. DISTRICT must approve the route, alignment and design of the DISTRICT’s portion of the distribution system extension. |
| D. | USER will contract with one, or more, licensed and bonded contractors in the State of California to construct the recycled water distribution extension. Construction must meet DISTRICT standards and upon passing final inspection and testing, the DISTRICT’s portion of the recycled water system extension will be accepted by DISTRICT for ownership and maintenance. |
| E. | DISTRICT and USER understand that the preferred route may extend across private property. DISTRICT will consider, but is not obligated to exercise its power of condemnation, if requested by USER, to acquire easements or rights-of-way needed for the construction and operation of the DISTRICT’s portion of the recycled water distribution system extension. USER will deposit in the Public Works Department trust fund all funds necessary for DISTRICT to acquire any easements or rights-of-way. |
| F. | DISTRICT will protect the section of DISTRICT’s portion of the recycled water distribution system extension from the junction of State Highway 135 and State Highway 1 and terminate at the Orcutt terminus for the exclusive use of the USER. This section will be known as the “Protected Main” (see Exhibit D). The DISTRICT will only allow a third party to connect to the Protected Main after USER, at USER’s sole discretion, has concluded that the third party demand will not compromise USER’s recycled water requirements; and after an agreement is reached between USER and a third party. |
2
The portion of the recycled water system extension not designated as the Protected Main will be considered as part of the DISTRICT’s recycled water distribution system, and subject to all provisions of this agreement.
| G. | USER and DISTRICT agree that time is of the essence, and both parties agree to use their best efforts and good faith to minimize the costs of the administration, design and construction of the DISTRICT’s portion of the recycled water distribution extension. At project completion, any unused monies deposited, including interest earned, remaining in the Public Works Department trust fund shall be returned to USER. |
3
All the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of said Agreement, as amended, shall remain in full force and effect.
