 INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION AGREEMENT 

THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 1, 2004 between Global Water
Resources, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Coordinator”) and JNAN, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Landowner”). 

RECITALS 

A.        Coordinator is engaged in the business of, among other things, providing the
following services or benefits to landowners, directly, or indirectly through its subsidiaries or affiliates, including Santa Cruz Water Company, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“SCW”) and Palo Verde Utilities Company,
LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“PVU”): (i) developing master utility plans for both wet and dry utilities of all types, including without limitation natural gas, electricity, cable television, Internet, intranet,
and telecommunications services; (ii) providing construction services for water and wastewater treatment facilities, (iii) facilitating the provision of water and wastewater services, (iv) facilitating the provision of dry utility
services, and/or (v) providing access to long-term agreements with strategic partners that provide natural gas, electrical, telecommunications, Internet, intranet, and cable television services, and other similar services. Coordinator is a
non-regulated company and is not subject to utility regulation by the State of Arizona Corporation Commission (the “Commission”). 

B.        SCW and PVU are (i) fully accredited public service companies approved
by the Commission to provide water company and wastewater company services, respectively (the “Utility Services”), and (ii) regulated utility companies, subject to regulation by the Commission. 

C.        Landowner is in the process of entitling and/or developing certain real
property, as more fully described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Development”) and, in connection therewith, desires (i) to engage Coordinator to provide various services and to coordinate the activities of 

 SCW and PVU with respect to the provision of Utility Services to and with respect to the
Development, and (ii) to ensure that Development is included as part of the service area expansion for SCW and PVU, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Landowner currently plans to sell the land in multiple development phases.

 D.        The Coordinator plans to include the Development in the June, 2004
application filing with the Commission for the expansion of the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (“CC&N”) covering the provisions of Utility Services by SCW and PVU. 

E.        The parties acknowledge that the expansion of the CC&N cannot be
finalized until such time as the appropriate Arizona Department of Water Resources (“ADWR”) and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) permits and approvals are in place. 

AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1.        Obligations of Coordinator.
Upon execution of this Agreement, Coordinator shall coordinate its activities and those of SCW and PVU and will use commercially reasonable best efforts as necessary to make Utility Services available to Landowner. Water and wastewater lines will be
constructed to the property line of the Development and reclaimed water lines will be constructed to a water storage facility within the Development, at locations to be designated by Coordinator (the “Delivery Point”). In addition
to other administrative services to be provided by Coordinator, Coordinator agrees to use its good faith efforts to coordinate and provide access to expanded dry utility agreements currently in place to benefit the Development. The dry utility
services may include natural gas, electricity, telephone, cable television, Internet, and intranet services. In particular, Coordinator will use its good faith efforts to negotiate modifications to existing dry utility agreements with Coordinators
to include the Development within their service boundaries. Landowner acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Coordinator, its successors or assigns or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates from investing
in or owning companies formed for purposes of providing any one or more of the dry utility services contemplated in this Agreement. Landowner shall not be obligated to enter into any agreements with Coordinators, its successors or assigns, or their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates to accept any dry utility services without Landowner’s written approval, in Landowner’s sole discretion. 

2.        Coordination with SCW and PVU. Coordinator shall coordinate its
activities and cause SCW and PVU to provide the services more fully described on Exhibit B hereto, subject to obtaining the applicable regulatory approvals. Landowner or any successor to Landowner desiring the delivery of Utility Services to any
portion of the Development must enter into separate Water Facilities Extension and Wastewater Facilities Extension Agreements (the “Extension Agreements”) with SCW and PVU, respectively, at the time the Development has received plat
approval from the City of Maricopa (“Plat Approval”). The Extension Agreements shall be in form attached at Exhibit D and Exhibit E. Landowner acknowledges that the 

 
Extension Agreements require the Landowner to utilize effluent for both peak and off-peak periods. 

3.        Obligations of Landowner. Landowner agrees to cooperate with
Coordinator as reasonably requested by Coordinator and agrees to provide all information and documentation about the Development necessary for Coordinator to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, Landowner agrees to grant to
SCW and/or PVU, as the case may be, all necessary easements and rights of way for the construction and installation and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Utility Services. Such easements and rights of way shall be of adequate size,
location and configuration so as to allow SCW and PVU ready and all weather access to all facilities for maintenance and repairs and other activities necessary to provide safe and reliable water and wastewater Utility Services. In addition,
Landowner agrees to provide and transfer to sew any and all water rights including, but not limited to, Grandfathered Irrigation Rights, Type I rights and /or Type II rights which run with or relate to the Development and which Coordinator
determines, in its sole discretion, to be useful. Further, any wells which Coordinator, in its sole discretion, deems useful, whether operational, abandoned, agricultural or otherwise, will be transferred and conveyed by Landowner to SCW at no cost
to SCW or Coordinator. In addition, if Coordinator and/or SCW identify well sites, Landowner shall cause such well sites to be identified on the Plat Approval and dedicated to SCW in fee, free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind or
nature whatsoever. Any well sites not transferred to SCW are to be decommissioned at the Landowner’s expense. Both parties acknowledge that until effluent is available for the Development, groundwater from wells on the Development site will be
utilized. The Coordinator will complete an Interim Use Permit with ADWR on behalf of the Landowners home owner association to allow the use of groundwater until effluent is available. Specific identifiable costs associated with completing the
Interim Use Permit will be reimbursed by Landowner to Coordinator. Such costs may include engineering plans prepared by Landowners engineering firm for the benefit of ADWR. Lastly, Landowner will deed two (2) acres of land to SCW for the use of
future water pumping, treatment and storage facilities. 
 4.        Payment
Obligations. Landowner shall pay Coordinator the sum of $2,800.00 per equivalent dwelling unit (“EDU”) in the Development (the “Landowner Payment.”), adjusted upward based on a CPI Factor, which is defined as the
Consumer Price Index – United States City Average – for All Urban Consumers – All Items published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“Index”), with the Index for the month of January 2005
being treated as the base Index, plus two percent (2%). If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term of this Agreement, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be utilized, and modified as necessary, to
obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been so discontinued or revised. For example, if the Landowner Payment was due in February 2006 and the most current available Index was 187.3 and the Index for January
2005 was 182.5, the Landowner Payment per Lot would be calculated as follows: $2,800 x 187.3/182.5 x 1.02 = $2,931.12. For the purposes of this Section 4, the number of EDUs within the Development shall be calculated as follows:
(i) each single family residential lot included in the Plat Approval shall constitute one (1) EDU and (ii) each gross acre of commercial or industrial property included in the Plat Approval shall constitute four point eight
(4.8) EDUs. If the payment to be made by Landowner pursuant to this Section 4 is due and 

 
owing pursuant to clause (ii) above prior to the Plat Approval, Coordinator shall reasonably calculate the Landowner Payment and Landowner shall make an initial payment based upon
Coordinator’s reasonable calculation. Following the Plat Approval, Landowner and Coordinator shall reconcile the amount paid by Landowner pursuant to the preceding sentence with the actual Landowner Payment and Landowner shall pay to
Coordinator or Coordinator shall pay to Landowner, as the case may be, the amount necessary to reconcile such payment. The CPI factor is only applicable to that particular unpaid portion of the $2,800 per EDU base fee. 

The following describes the timing of payments for residential lots based on the base year price of $2,800 per lot. Any additional amounts due
for the CPI Factor is paid as each phase is final platted. 

	 	¡	 	 Of this amount, $50 per lot for all zoned lots is payable upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement, whichever is the earlier. In
the event that the property is not zoned, the Landowner may enter into this agreement, but not pay the initial $50 fee until such time as the property is zoned. At the time the City approves the Re-Zoning Application, then the initial $50 fee per
lot is due and any other portion of the $2,800 fee is due if it has been triggered by the terms of this agreement. 

	 	¡	 	 $200 per lot for all residential lots is payable within fifteen (15) days after the water, sewer and reclaimed water lines have been extended
in accordance with Exhibit C. The Coordinator will notify the Landowner by issuance of a notice (“Start Work Notice”). 

	 	¡	 	 At final plat or at the time the CC&N expansion has been approved as is evidenced by the publication of an order from the ACC, whichever is
later, $2,550 per lot is payable for all lots final platted and $250 is payable for remaining lots within the development. 

	 	¡	 	 For the balance of the lots to be final platted in the future, $2,300 per lot is payable at final plat. The Coordinator will true-up any
discrepancy with respect to the actual number of lots at final plat against lots estimated at the time of signing this agreement. Either the Coordinator will pay the Landowner or the Landowner will pay the Coordinator that difference contemporaneous
with the final payment as triggered by the final platted parcel(s) in the Development. In the event that some portion of the property closes escrow with an unaffiliated party before this payment is due then the payment amount will be held in Escrow
until the Coordinator satisfies their obligation under the terms of this agreement. 

	 	•	 	 An example of how this would calculate for a section of land included in the CC&N with 2,100 zoned residential lots developed in three phases
of 700 lots each: 

	 	¡ 	 	 $50 times 2,100 lots or $105,000 is due when design and engineering is to begin, or upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement,
whichever is the earlier; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $200 times 2,100 lots or $420,000 is due fifteen (15) days after Coordinator mails the Start Work Notice; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $2,550 times 700 final platted lots, or $1,785,000, plus $250 times remaining 1,400 preliminary platted lots, or $350,000, for a total of
$2,135,000 is due at the first final plat; 

	 	¡ 	 	 then, $2,300 per lot is payable when the remaining lots are final platted. 

 The following describes the timing of payments for commercial and industrial property based on
the $2,800 per EDU base year price at 4.8 EDUs per acre. Any additional amounts due for the CPI Factor is aggregated with the total fee. 

	 	¡	 	 Of this amount, $50 per EDU for all zoned commercial acres is payable upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement.

	 	¡	 	 The remaining $2750 per EDU is payable when the City approves the “Commercial Site Plan”, 

	 	•	 	 An example of how this would calculate for a commercial section of land with 30 acres in size would be as follows: 

	 	¡ 	 	 $50 x 30 acres x 4.8 EDU/acre or $7,200 is due upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $2,750 plus the CPI Factor x 30 acres 4.8 EDU/acre or $396,000 is due and payable when the City approves the Commercial Site Plan.

 The parties acknowledge that additional fees will be billed to the commercial and industrial end user based upon the
ultimate use of the land and fixtures thereon. 
 Fees payable to SCW and PVU, and reimbursement for certain costs and expenses incurred by
Landowner with respect to the obtaining of Utility Services are not the subject of this Agreement shall be paid and reimbursed to the appropriate parties in accordance with the Extension Agreements. 

5.        No Partnership. Coordinator and Landowner are acting as independent
contractors pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed (i) to create an association, joint venture, or partnership among the parties or to impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either
party, or (ii) to prohibit or limit the ability of Coordinator to enter into similar or identical agreements with other landowners, even if the activities of such landowners may be deemed to be in competition with the activities or Landowner.

 6.        Default. 

(a)        Landowner shall be deemed to be in material default under this Agreement
upon the expiration of ten (10) days, as to monetary defaults, and thirty (30) days, as to nonmonetary defaults, following receipt of written notice from Coordinator specifying the particulars in which a default is claimed unless, prior to
expiration of the applicable grace period (ten (10) days or thirty (30) days, as the case may be), such default has been cured. A default by Landowner under this Agreement shall constitute a default by Landowner under the Extension
Agreements and a default by Landowner under the Extension Agreement(s) shall constitute a default under this Agreement. 

 (b)        In the event Landowner is in
default under this Agreement, the provisions hereof may be enforced by an action for specific performance, injunction, or other equitable remedies in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity. In this regard, in the event Landowner
fails to pay any amount as and when due (including the Landowner Payment), which failure is not cured within ten (10) days after notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(a) above, such delinquent amounts shall
bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date until paid. In addition, to the extent such sums remain unpaid following such ten (10) day period, Coordinator may claim a lien for such sum, together with
interest thereon as set forth above, which may be foreclosed against the Development in the manner prescribed by law for the foreclosure of realty mortgages; Coordinator agreeing that as and when portions of the Property are sold, the obligations
hereunder shall be bifurcated based on the land area sold and each landowner shall be solely (and not jointly) responsible for all sums owned with respect to the land areas that it owns and shall not have any obligation or liability for the failure
or any other owner of any potion of the Property. 
 (c)        Amounts owed but
not paid when due by Landowner shall be a lien against the Development. The lien shall attach and take effect only upon recordation of a claim of lien as described below in the office of the Pinal County Recorder by Coordinator. A claim of lien
shall include the following: 
  

	 	(i)	 The name of the lien claimant. 

  

	 	(ii)	 The name of the party or then owner of the property or interest against which the lien is claimed. 

 

	 	(iii)	 A description of the property against which the lien is claimed. 

 

	 	(iv)	 A description of the default or breach that gives rise to the claim of lien and a statement itemizing the amount of the claim.

  

	 	(v)	 A statement that the lien is claimed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and reciting the date of recordation and recorder’s document
number of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(vi)	 The notice shall be acknowledged, and after recordation, a copy shall be given to the person against whose property the lien is claimed in any
manner prescribed under Section 15 of this Agreement. The lien may be enforced in any manner allowed by law, including without limitation, by an action to foreclose a mortgage or mechanic’s lien under the applicable provisions of
the laws of the State of Arizona. 

 (d) If the Landowner posts either (a) a bond executed by a
fiscally sound corporate surety licensed to do business in the State of Arizona, or (b) an irrevocable letter of credit from a reputable financial institution licensed to do business in the State of Arizona reasonably acceptable to Coordinator,
which bond or letter of credit (i) names Coordinator as the 

 
principal or payee and is in form satisfactory to Coordinator, (ii) is in the amount of one and one-half (1- 1⁄2) times the claim of lien, and (iii) unconditionally provides that it may be drawn on by Coordinator in the event of a final judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of Coordinator,
then Coordinator shall record a release of the lien or take such action as may be reasonably required by a title insurance company requested to furnish a policy of title insurance on such property to delete the lien as an exception thereto.
Landowner shall post the bond or letter of credit by delivery of same to Coordinator. All costs and expenses to obtain the bond or letter of credit, and all costs and expenses incurred by Coordinator, shall be borne by Landowner, unless Landowner is
the prevailing party in any litigation challenging the claimed lien. 

7.        Non Issuance of CC&N Expansion: In the unlikely event that
despite the Coordinator’s best commercially reasonable efforts to obtain that necessary approval from the ACC within eighteen (18) months of the execution of this Agreement, which would allow for the Development to be included in the
expansion of the SCW and PVU CC&Ns, then the Landowner at his option may terminate this Agreement without recourse to either party. Should the Landowner elect to terminate this Agreement, any funds paid by the Landowner to the Coordinator for
purposes of progressing the construction of any necessary infrastructure would be refundable at that time and would be become due and payable to the Landowner within fifteen (15) days of termination of this Agreement. Any fees collected at the
time of the execution of this Agreement are expressly non-refundable. In the event of termination of the Agreement, Coordinator shall remove or cause to be removed any registration of this agreement with Pinal County and waive any lien rights it may
have under this Agreement. 
 8.        Most Favored Nation: Coordinator
agrees that for the CC&N expansion contemplated to commence in the June/July 2004 timeframe in the North East portion of the City of Maricopa, that if the Coordinator enters into a Infrastructure Coordination Agreement with another landowner
within Sections 30, 31, 32, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13, that provides pricing, terms, or conditions more favorable to that landowner than provided herein to the Landowner, Coordinator will amend this Agreement with the written consent of
Landowner to include such pricing, terms, or conditions so that this Agreement is at least as favorable to the Landowner as the pricing, terms, and conditions offered to the other landowner. 

9.        Attorneys’ Fees. If any dispute arises out of the subject matter
of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in litigating or otherwise resolving such dispute. The
parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive the closing under this Agreement. 

10.        Applicable Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, notwithstanding any Arizona or other conflict-of-law provisions to the contrary. The parties consent to jurisdiction for purposes of this Agreement in the State of
Arizona, and agree that Maricopa County, Arizona, shall be proper venue for any action brought with respect to this Agreement. 

11.        Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in
all cases, be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly for nor against any party. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be construed as a part

 
hereof. The parties agree that each party has reviewed this Agreement and has had the opportunity to have counsel review the same and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities
are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or any exhibits thereto. Except where specifically provided to the contrary, when used in this Agreement, the term
“including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person(s) or
entity(ies) may require. 
 12.        Counterparts This Agreement shall be
effective upon execution by all parties hereto and may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all of the parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one
agreement. 
 13.        Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the
entire integrated agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may
not be amended except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. 

14.        Additional Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute, have
acknowledged, and deliver to each other such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence or to carry out the terms of this Assignment. 

15.        Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be
severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity or legality of the remainder of this Agreement. 

16.        Incorporation by Reference. Every exhibit, schedule and other
appendix attached to this Agreement and referred to herein is hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference. 

17.        Notices. Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or
permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally to the party to whom the same is directed or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the addresses
set forth on the signature page hereto. Any such notice shall be deemed to be delivered, given and received for all purposes as of the date so delivered if delivered personally, or three business days after the time when the same was deposited in a
regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of United States mail, if sent by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, or if given by any other method, upon actual receipt; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of
any change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt of such notice. 

18.        Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the successors and assigns of the respective parties. This Agreement constitutes a covenant running with the land, shall be binding upon the Development for the benefit of Coordinator, its successors and assigns and any person
acquiring any portion of the Development, upon 

 
acquisition thereof, shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of Landowner arising from this Agreement with respect to the Development without the necessity for the execution of any
separate instrument. Coordinator shall lien the development based upon the Map of Dedication recorded in the Official Records of Pinal County, Arizona. If phases and/or parcels within the Map of Dedication are sold individually, Coordinator will
ensure the lien is released and rerecorded to each phase and/or parcel. At such time as the Landowner Payment has been paid in full for that particular phase and/or parcel, Coordinator shall progressively release this Agreement of record for that
particular phase and/or parcel. It is the intent of this agreement to release that portion of the lien which relates to parcels and or plats that are paid in full. In the event that the Coordinator has been paid in full for that particular parcel to
which the lien relates but the lien has not yet been extinguished, the lien and the Coordinator’s rights associated with the lien shall automatically expire for each lot upon the conveyance of the lot to a purchaser with a dwelling unit
constructed thereon.

 COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS: 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and agreements, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1.         Construction of Facilities. Developer agrees to construct
and install water distribution mains and pipelines, valves, booster stations, hydrants, fittings, service lines and all other related facilities and improvements necessary to provide water utility service to each lot or building within the
Development as more particularly described in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (referred to hereinafter as the “Facilities”). The Facilities shall connect to the Company’s system at the
point shown on the approved plans as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” and shall be designed and constructed within the Development in a manner which allows the provision of safe and reliable water utility
service to each lot therein. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, Company’s rights of plan review and approval and inspection of final construction), Developer shall be responsible for all
construction activities associated with the Facilities, and Developer shall be liable for and pay when due all costs, expenses, claims and liabilities associated with the construction and installation of the Facilities. 

2.         Construction Standards and Requirements. The Facilities
shall meet and comply with Company’s standards and specifications, and all engineering plans and specifications for the Facilities shall be approved by Company and its engineers (“Company’s Engineer”), prior to the commencement
of construction. Company and Company’s Engineer shall review the plans and specifications and shall provide any requirements or comments as soon as practicable. Developer shall require that its contractor be bound by and conform to the

 
plans and specifications for the Facilities as finally approved by Company. The construction and installation of the Facilities shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), the Commission, and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover. 

3.         Right of Inspection; Corrective Action. Company shall have
the right to have Company’s Engineer inspect and test the Facilities at reasonable times during the course of construction as necessary to ensure conformance with plans and specifications. If at any time before the final acceptance by Company
of the Facilities any construction, materials or workmanship are found to be defective or deficient in any way, or the Facilities fail to conform to this Agreement, then Company may reject such defective or deficient construction, materials and/or
workmanship and require Developer to fully pay for all necessary corrective construction efforts (“Corrective Action”). Company reserves the right to withhold approval and to forbid connection of any defective portion of the Facilities to
Company’s system unless and until the Facilities have been constructed in accordance with plans and specifications and all applicable regulatory requirements. Further, Developer shall promptly undertake any Corrective Action required to remedy
such defects and deficiencies in construction, materials and workmanship upon receipt of notice by Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay acceptance of the Facilities. 

4.         Transfer of Ownership. Upon completion and approval of the
as-built Facilities by Company and any other governmental authority whose approval is required, Developer shall transfer all right, title and interest in the Facilities to Company via a bill of sale in a form satisfactory to Company. Thereafter,
Company shall be the sole owner of the Facilities and be responsible for their operation, maintenance and repair. Company’s ownership and 

 
responsibility shall include all distribution mains and/or related appurtenances within the Development up to the point of connection to the service line of each customer receiving service.
Maintenance and repair of each service line, which lines are not part of the Facilities, shall be Developer’s, the Development’s or each individual customers’ responsibility. All work performed by or on behalf of Developer shall be
warranted by Developer for one year from the date of transfer of the Facilities to Company against defects in materials and workmanship. Developer shall also covenant, at the time of transfer, that the Facilities are free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, and unless the time period for filing lien claims has expired, shall provide evidence in the form of lien waivers that all claims of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics and materialmen have been paid and satisfied. 

5.         Final As-Built Drawings and Accounting of Construction
Costs. Immediately following completion and approval of the Facilities, Developer shall provide Company with three sets of as-built drawings and specifications for the Facilities and a reproducible copy of such drawings. Developer shall also
provide an accounting of the cost of constructing and installing the Facilities, which amount shall be refundable in accordance with paragraph 8, below. Company shall have no obligation to furnish service to the Development or to accept the transfer
of the Facilities until Developer has complied with this paragraph. 
 6.        
Easements. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary easements and rights-of-way for the construction and installation, and subsequent
operation, maintenance and repair of the Facilities. Such easements and rights-of-way shall be of adequate size, location, and configuration so as to allow Company ready access to the Facilities for maintenance and repairs and other activities
necessary to provide safe and reliable water utility service. Such easements and rights-of-way shall be provided to Company by Developer at the 

 
same time as Developer transfers ownership of the Facilities pursuant to paragraph 4, above. At the time of transfer, all easements and rights-of-way shall be free of physical encroachments,
encumbrances or other obstacles. Company shall have no responsibility to obtain or secure on Developer’s behalf any such easements or rights-of-way. 

7.         Reimbursement for Engineering and Other Fees and
Expenses. Developer shall also reimburse Company for the costs, expenses and fees, including legal fees and costs that are incurred by Company for preparation of this Agreement, for reviewing and approving the plans and specifications
for the Facilities to be constructed by Developer, for inspecting the Facilities during construction and other supervisory activities undertaken by Company, for obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental authorities (collectively the
“Administrative Costs”). For such purpose, Developer has previously paid to Company the sum of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500), the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Developer shall provide additional advances to
Company, as may be requested by Company in writing from time-to-time, to reimburse Company for any additional Administrative Costs it incurs. All amounts paid to Company pursuant to this provision shall constitute advances in aid of construction and
be subject to refund pursuant to paragraph 8, below. 
 8.         Refunds of
Advances. Company shall refund annually to Developer an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross annual revenues received by Company from the provision of water utility service to each bona fide customer within the Development.
Such refunds shall be paid by Company on or before the first day of August, commencing in the fourth calendar year following the calendar year in which title to the Facilities is transferred to and accepted by Company and continuing thereafter in
each succeeding calendar year for a total of twenty-two (22) years. No interest shall accrue or be payable on the amounts to be refunded 

 
hereunder, and any unpaid balance remaining at the end of such twenty-two year period shall be non-refundable. In no event shall the total amount of the refunds paid by Company hereunder exceed
the total amount of all advances made by Developer hereunder. For the purposes of this provision, the total amount of Developer’s advances shall be equal to Developer’s actual cost of constructing the Facilities, less the costs of any
corrective action as defined in paragraph 3 above, the costs of curing any defects arising during the warranty period, as provided herein, and the costs of any unreasonable overtime incurred in the construction of the Facilities, above, and the
amounts paid by Developer to Company for Administrative Costs pursuant to paragraph 7, above. 

9.         Company’s Obligation to Serve. Subject to the condition
that Developer fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, Company shall provide water utility service to all customers within the Development in accordance with Company’s tariffs and schedule of rates and charges for service, the rules
and regulations of the Commission and other regulatory authorities and requirements. However, Company shall have no obligation to accept and operate the Facilities in the event Developer fails to make any payment provided in this Agreement, fails to
construct and install the Facilities in accordance with Company’s standards and specifications and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of ADEQ, the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction
thereover, or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges and understands that Company will not establish service to any customer within the Development until such time as Company has accepted
the transfer of the Facilities, and all amounts that Developer is required to pay Company hereunder have in fact been paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not terminate service to any customer within the Development to whom service
has been 

 
properly established as a consequence of any subsequent breach or nonperformance by Developer hereunder. 

10.         Liability for Income Taxes. In the event it is determined
that all or any portion of Developer’s advances in aid of construction hereunder constituted taxable income to Company as of the date of this Agreement or at the time Company actually receives such advances hereunder, Developer will advance
funds to Company equal to the income taxes resulting from Developer’s advance hereunder. These funds shall be paid to Company within twenty (20) days following notification to Developer that a determination has been made that any such
advances constitute taxable income, whether by virtue of any determination or notification by a governmental authority, amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, any regulation promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, or similar change to any
statute, rule or regulation relating to this matter. Such notification shall include documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the Company’s liability for income taxes resulting from the Developer’s advances in aid of construction
under this Agreement. In the event that additional funds are paid by Developer under this paragraph, such funds shall also constitute advances in aid of construction. In addition, Developer shall indemnify and hold Company harmless for, from and
against any tax related interest, fines and penalties assessed against Company and other costs and expenses incurred by Company as a consequence of late payment by Developer of amounts described above.

 COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS: 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and agreements, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

20.         Construction of Facilities. Developer agrees to construct
and install sewage collection mains, manholes, pumping stations and/or such other facilities and improvements necessary to provide sewer utility service to each lot or building within the Development as more particularly described in Exhibit
“C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (referred to hereinafter as the “Facilities”). The Facilities shall connect to the Company’s system at the point shown on the approved plans as generally depicted
on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” and shall be designed and constructed within the Development in a manner which allows the provision of safe and reliable sewer utility service to each lot therein. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, Company’s rights of plan review and approval and inspection of final construction), Developer shall be responsible for all construction activities associated with the Facilities, and
Developer shall be liable for and pay when due all costs, expenses, claims and liabilities associated with the construction and installation of the Facilities. 

21.         Construction Standards and Requirements. The Facilities
shall meet and comply with Company’s standards and specifications, and all engineering plans and specifications for the Facilities shall be approved by Company and its engineers (“Company’s Engineer”) prior to the commencement of
construction. Company and Company’s Engineer shall review the plans and specifications and shall provide any requirements or comments as soon as practicable. Developer shall require that its contractor be bound by and conform to the

 
plans and specifications for the Facilities as finally approved by Company. The construction and installation of the Facilities shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), the Commission, and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover. 

22.         Right of Inspection; Corrective Action. Company shall have
the right to have Company’s Engineer inspect and test the Facilities at reasonable times during the course of construction as necessary to ensure conformance with plans and specifications. If at any time before the final acceptance by Company
of the Facilities any construction, materials or workmanship are found to be defective or deficient in any way, or the Facilities fail to conform to this Agreement, then Company may reject such defective or deficient construction, materials and/or
workmanship and require Developer to fully pay for all necessary corrective construction efforts (“Corrective Action”). Company reserves the right to withhold approval and to forbid connection of any defective portion of the Facilities to
Company’s system unless and until the Facilities have been constructed in accordance with plans and specifications and all applicable regulatory requirements. Further, Developer shall promptly undertake any Corrective Action required to remedy
such defects and deficiencies in construction, materials and workmanship upon receipt of notice by Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay acceptance of the Facilities. 

23.         Transfer of Ownership. Upon completion and approval of the
as-built Facilities by Company and any other governmental authority whose approval is required, Developer shall transfer all right, title and interest in the Facilities to Company via a bill of sale in a form satisfactory to Company. Company, in its
sole discretion, may require Developer to conduct a video inspection of any of the Facilities prior to final approval and acceptance to 

 
ensure that no breaks or similar defects exist. Thereafter, Company shall be the sole owner of the Facilities and be responsible for their operation, maintenance and repair. Company’s
ownership and responsibility shall include all pumping stations, manholes, collection and transmission mains and/or related appurtenances within the Development up to the point of connection of the sewer line of each customer receiving service to
the collection main. Maintenance and repair of each sewer service line, which lines are not part of the Facilities, shall be Developer’s, the Development’s or each individual customers’ responsibility. All work performed by or on
behalf of Developer shall be warranted by Developer for one year from the date of transfer of the Facilities to Company against defects in materials and workmanship. Developer shall also covenant, at the time of transfer, that the Facilities are
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and unless the time period for filing lien claims has expired, shall provide evidence in the form of lien waivers that all claims of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics and materialmen have been paid
and satisfied. 
 24.         Final As-Built Drawings and Accounting of
Construction Costs. Immediately following completion and approval of the Facilities, Developer shall provide Company with three sets of as-built drawings and specifications for the Facilities and a reproducible copy of such drawings.
Developer shall also provide an accounting of the cost of constructing and installing the Facilities, which amount shall be refundable in accordance with paragraph 8, below. Company shall have no obligation to furnish service to the Development or
to accept the transfer of the Facilities until Developer has complied with this paragraph. 

25.         Easements. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all
necessary easements and rights-of-way for the construction and installation, and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Facilities. Such easements and rights-of-way shall be of adequate 

 
size, location, and configuration so as to allow Company ready access to the Facilities for maintenance and repairs and other activities necessary to provide safe and reliable sewer utility
service. Evidence of such easements and rights-of-way shall be provided to Company by Developer at the same time as Developer transfers ownership of the Facilities pursuant to paragraph 4, above. At the time of transfer, all easements and
rights-of-way shall be free of physical encroachments, encumbrances or other obstacles. Company shall have no responsibility to obtain or secure on Developer’s behalf any such easements or rights-of-way. 

26.         Reimbursement for Engineering and Other Fees and Expenses.
Developer shall also reimburse Company for the costs, expenses and fees, including legal fees and costs that are incurred by Company for preparation of this Agreement, for reviewing and approving the plans and specifications for the Facilities to be
constructed by Developer, for inspecting the Facilities during construction and other supervisory activities undertaken by Company, for obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental authorities (collectively the “Administrative
Costs”). For such purpose, Developer has previously paid to Company the sum of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500), the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Developer shall provide additional advances to Company, as may be
requested by Company in writing from time-to-time, to reimburse Company for any additional Administrative Costs it incurs. All amounts paid to Company pursuant to this provision shall constitute advances in aid of construction and be subject to
refund pursuant to paragraph 8, below. 
 27.          Refunds of
Advances. Company shall refund annually to Developer an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross annual revenues received by Company from the provision of sewer utility service to each bona fide customer within the
Development. Such refunds shall be paid by Company on or before the first day of August, 

 
commencing in the fourth calendar year following the calendar year in which title to the Facilities is transferred to and accepted by Company and continuing thereafter in each succeeding calendar
year for a total of twenty-two (22) years. No interest shall accrue or be payable on the amounts to be refunded hereunder, and any unpaid balance remaining at the end of such twenty-two year period shall be non-refundable. In no event shall the
total amount of the refunds paid by Company hereunder exceed the total amount of all advances made by Developer hereunder. For the purposes of this provision, the total amount of Developer’s advances shall be equal to Developer’s actual
cost of constructing the Facilities, less the costs of any corrective action as defined in paragraph 3 above, the costs of curing any defects arising during the warranty period, as provided herein, and the costs of any unreasonable overtime incurred
in the construction of the Facilities, above, and the amounts paid by Developer to Company for Administrative Costs pursuant to paragraph 7, above. 

28.         Company’s Obligation to Serve. Subject to the
condition that Developer fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, Company shall provide sewer utility service to all customers within the Development in accordance with Company’s tariffs and schedule of rates and charges for service,
the rules and regulations of the Commission and other regulatory authorities and requirements. However, Company shall have no obligation to accept and operate the Facilities in the event Developer fails to make any payment provided in this
Agreement, fails to construct and install the Facilities in accordance with Company’s standards and specifications and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of ADEQ, the Commission or any other governmental authority having
jurisdiction thereover, or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges and understands that Company will not establish service to any customer within the Development until such time as

 
Company has accepted the transfer of the Facilities, and all amounts that Developer is required to pay Company hereunder have in fact been paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall
not terminate service to any customer within the Development to whom service has been properly established as a consequence of any subsequent breach or nonperformance by Developer hereunder. 

29.         Liability for Income Taxes. In the event it is determined
that all or any portion of Developer’s advances in aid of construction hereunder constituted taxable income to Company as of the date of this Agreement or at the time Company actually receives such advances hereunder, Developer will advance
funds to Company equal to the income taxes resulting from Developer’s advance hereunder. These funds shall be paid to Company within twenty (20) days following notification to Developer that a determination has been made that any such
advances constitute taxable income, whether by virtue of any determination or notification by a governmental authority, amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, any regulation promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, or similar change to any
statute, rule or regulation relating to this matter. Such notification shall include documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the Company’s liability for income taxes resulting from the Developer’s advances in aid of construction
under this Agreement. In the event that additional funds are paid by Developer under this paragraph, such funds shall also constitute advances in aid of construction. In addition, Developer shall indemnify and hold Company harmless for, from and
against any tax related interest, fines and penalties assessed against Company and other costs and expenses incurred by Company as a consequence of late payment by Developer of amounts described above.

 INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION AND FINANCE AGREEMENT 

THIS INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION AND FINANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of 7/21/,
2006 between Global Water Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Coordinator”) and Dana B. Byron and Jamie Maccallum, jointly and individually (“Landowner”). 

RECITALS 

A.        Coordinator is engaged in the business of, among other things, providing
services or benefits to landowners, such as: (i) developing master utility plans for services including natural gas, electricity, cable television, Internet, intranet, and telecommunications; (ii) providing construction services for water
and wastewater treatment facilities, and (iii) providing financing for the provision of infrastructure in advance of and with no guarantee of customer connections. 

B.        Coordinator is the owner of Global Water - Santa Cruz Water Company, LLC
(“SCW”) and Global Water - Palo Verde Utilities Company, LLC (“PVU”) and provides equity for its subsidiaries capital improvements. 

C.        SCW and PVU are Arizona public service corporations. SCW and PVU have been
issued certificates of convenience and necessity (“CC&N”) by the Arizona Corporation Commission (“ACC”) to provide water and waste water services (collectively the “Utility Services”), respectively in designated
geographic areas within the State of Arizona. 

 D.        Landowner is in the process of
entitling and/or developing certain real property, as more fully described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Land”) and, in connection therewith, desires (i) to engage Coordinator to provide various services including but not
limited to arranging and coordinating for the Landowner the provision of Utility Services by SCW and PVU with respect to the Land, and (ii) work with SCW and PVU to include the Land as part of a CC&N service area expansion for SCW and PVU,
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Landowner may entitle and sell the land in multiple phases to entities for future development. Through Coordinator, Landowner has requested water and waste water services from SCW and PVU
respectively; and, SCW and PVU have agreed to provide such services to Landowner. Coordinator shall use good faith efforts to provide “will serve” letters from SCW and PVU for Landowner and file for CC&N Approval within 21 days of
execution of this Agreement. 
 E.        The parties acknowledge that the expansion
of the CC&N may not be finalized until such time as the appropriate Arizona Department of Water Resources (“ADWR”), Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) and Central Arizona Association of Governments
(“CAAG”) permits and approvals are in place. 
 F.        The parties
acknowledge that it is a requirement of this Agreement for the Coordinator to facilitate an agreement between Landowner and PVU for PVU to provide reclaimed water and for the Landowner to accept and utilize reclaimed water for purposes of irrigation
for the peak and off peak periods. 
 G.        The parties recognize and
acknowledge that this Agreement is a financing and coordinating agreement only. The fees contemplated in this letter represent an approximation of the carrying costs associated with interest and capitalized interest associated with the financing of
infrastructure for the benefit of the Landowner until such time as the rates associated from the provision of services within the areas to be served as contemplated by this agreement generate sufficient revenue to carry the on going carrying costs
for this infrastructure. Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as a payment of principal, a contribution or advance to the utilities and will bear no repayment of any kind or nature in the future. 

 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1.        Obligations of Coordinator.
Upon execution of this Agreement, Coordinator shall undertake good faith efforts to facilitate, arrange and /or coordinate with SCW and PVU, as necessary, to provide Utility Services to Landowner, including without limitation, obtaining all
necessary permits and approvals from ACC, ADWR, ADEQ and CAAG to expand the CC&N of SCW and PVU to include the Land. Coordinator shall make good faith efforts to cause SCW and PVU to provide water sauce and storage as well as waste water
treatment Utility Services to Landowner for the Land. Water and wastewater lines will be constructed to the property line of the Land and reclaimed water lines will be constructed to a water storage facility within the Land, at locations to be
designated by Coordinator collectively (the “Delivery Point”) in consultation with Landowner. In addition to other administrative services to be provided by Coordinator, Coordinator shall undertake good faith efforts to coordinate
and provide access to utility agreements currently in place to benefit the Land. These utility agreements may include the provision of natural gas, electricity, telephone, cable television, Internet, and intranet services. Coordinator will use its
good faith efforts to facilitate modifications to existing utility agreements (including agreements with utility service providers other than with SCW and PVU) to include the Land within the service areas of other utility service providers.
Landowner acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Coordinator, its successors or assigns or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates from investing in or owning companies formed for purposes of providing any
one or more of the utility services contemplated in this Agreement. Landowner shall not be obligated to enter into any agreements with Coordinator, its successors or assigns, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to accept any utility
services without Landowner’s written approval, in Landowner’s sole discretion. 

2.        Coordination with SCW and PVU. Coordinator shall make good faith
efforts to arrange and obtain for Landowner the list of services on attached Exhibit D for Landowner from SCW and PVU to provide the services more fully described on Exhibit D hereto, subject to obtaining the applicable regulatory approvals.
Landowner or any successor to Landowner desiring the delivery of Utility Services to any portion of the Land must enter into separate Water Facilities Extension and Wastewater Facilities Extension Agreements (the “Extension
Agreements”) with SCW and PVU, respectively, at the time any portion of the Land has received final plat approval from Pinal County and the approved plat has been recorded (“Plat 

 Approval”). The Extension Agreements shall be in the forms attached hereto as
Exhibits E and F. 
 3.        Obligations of Landowner. Landowner agrees to
cooperate with Coordinator as reasonably requested by Coordinator and agrees to provide all information and documentation about the Land reasonably necessary for Coordinator to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, Landowner
agrees to grant to SCW and/or PVU, as the case may be, all necessary easements and rights of way for the construction and installation and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Utility Services. Such easements and rights of way shall
be of adequate size, location and configuration so as to allow SCW and PVU ready and all weather access to all facilities for maintenance and repairs and other activities reasonably necessary to provide safe and reliable water and wastewater Utility
Services. In addition, as and when Landowner is no longer utilizing any portion of the Land for farming activities requiring use of irrigation water and one or more Water Facilities Extension Agreement has been entered into with respect to the Land,
Landowner shall thereafter provide and transfer to SCW any and all water rights, which are owned by Landowner at the time of the signing of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Grandfathered Irrigation Rights, Type I rights and /or Type II
rights which run with or relate to the Land and which Coordinator determines, in its sole discretion, to be useful. Further, as and when Landowner is no longer utilizing any portion of the Land for farming activities requiring use of irrigation
water and one or more Water Facilities Extension Agreement has been entered into with respect to the Land, Landowner shall thereafter transfer and convey to SCW at no cost to SCW (or Coordinator) any wells on the Land that SCW, in its sole
discretion, deems useful for SCW, whether operational, abandoned, agricultural or otherwise. In addition, if SCW identifies well sites on the Land that SCW, in its sole discretion, deems useful for SCW, Landowner shall cause such well sites to be
identified on the Plat Approval and dedicated to SCW in fee, free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever; provided that the well site location is not located within areas identified in the current or any approved
preliminary plans as areas to be used for entrances, entry monumentation or public roadways. Any well sites not transferred to SCW are to be decommissioned at the Landowner’s expense. Both parties acknowledge that until effluent is available
for the Land, groundwater from wells on the Land will be utilized. The Coordinator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain an Interim Use Permit with ADWR on behalf of the Landowner or the Landowners homeowner association to allow the use of
groundwater until effluent is available. Specific identifiable costs associated with completing the Interim Use Permit will be reimbursed by Landowner to Coordinator subject to written documentation of such costs. Such costs may include engineering
plans prepared by Landowner’s engineering 

 firm for the benefit of ADWR subject to Landowner’s prior written notice. As necessary and
in SCW sole discretion, Landowner will provide for the deeding of up to two (2) acres of land per 640 acres of land, free and clear of all liens, claims or encumbrances (except as otherwise expressly agreed to by SCW) to SCW for the use of
future water pumping, treatment and storage facilities in the general location identified on Exhibit B attached hereto. 

4.        Payment Obligations. Landowner, or its assigns in title and/or
successors in title, shall pay Coordinator an interest and financing fee as full and final compensation to the Coordinator in consideration for its services and performance of its covenants and agreements contained in the Agreement, the sum of
$3,600.00 per equivalent dwelling unit (“EDU”) in the Land (the “Landowner Payment.”). The portion of the Landowner Payment not paid concurrently with the execution of this Agreement shall be adjusted upward based
on a CPI Factor, which is defined as the Consumer Price Index — United States City Average — for All Urban Consumers — All Items published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
(“Index”), with the Index for the month of January 2006 being treated as the base Index, plus two percent (2%). If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term of this Agreement, such other government index or computation
with which it is replaced shall be utilized, and modified as necessary, to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been so discontinued or revised. For example, if the Landowner Payment was due in February
2007, the $25 per EDU had been paid and the most current available Index was 187.3 and the Index for January 2006 was 182.5, the unpaid Landowner Payment per EDU would be calculated as follows: $3,575 x 187.3/182.5 x 1.02 = $3,742.41. For the
purposes of this Section 4, the number of EDUs within the Land shall be calculated as follows: (i) each single family residential lot included in the Plat Approval shall constitute one (1) EDU and (ii) each gross acre of
commercial or industrial property included in the Plat Approval shall constitute four point eight ( 4.8) EDUs. If the payment to be made by Landowner pursuant to this Section 4 is due and owing pursuant to clause (ii) above prior to the
Plat Approval, Coordinator shall reasonably calculate the Landowner Payment and Landowner shall make an initial payment based upon Coordinator’s reasonable calculation. Following each Plat Approval, Landowner (and any successor or assign in
title to any interest in the Property) and Coordinator shall reconcile the amount paid pursuant to the preceding sentence with the actual Landowner Payment due and Landowner, and/or any successor or assign in title to any interest in the Property,
as applicable, shall pay to Coordinator or Coordinator shall pay to Landowner and/or any successor or assign in title to any interest in the Property, as applicable, as the case may be, the amount necessary to reconcile such payment. 

 The following describes the timing of payments for Zoned residential lots based on the base year
price of $3,600 per lot. Any additional amounts due for the CPI Factor is paid as each phase is final platted. 

	 	¡	 	 Of this amount, $25 per EDU for all property within the Land is payable upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement. If any portion
of the Land has not received Pinal County approved residential, commercial and/or industrial zoning (“Zoned”), the Landowner may enter into this Agreement, but not pay the initial $25 fee until such time as such portion of the Land is
Zoned. At the time the County approves the Re-Zoning Application, then the initial $25 fee per EDU is due and any other portion of the $3,600 fee is due if it has been triggered by the terms of this Agreement. 

	 	¡	 	 $500 per EDU for all platted and/or Zoned residential lots is payable within fifteen (15) days of when sewer lines have been extended in
accordance with Exhibit C. The Coordinator will notify the Landowner by delivery to Landowner of a notice certifying that sewer lines have been extended in accordance with Exhibit C (the “Start Work Notice”). Which “Start Work
Notice” shall notify Landowner when such work is commenced by SCW and/or PVU. 

	 	¡	 	 At each final plat approval or at the time the CC&N expansion has been approved as is evidenced by the publication of a final decision and/or
order from the ACC, whichever is later, $3,075 per EDU is payable for all residential EDU’s indicated on the final plat and $250 is payable for remaining EDUs within the Land based on approved Zoning. 

	 	¡	 	 For the balance of the Zoned but not platted residential EDUs to be final platted in the future, $2,825 per residential EDU is payable at final
plat approval. The Coordinator will true-up any discrepancy with respect to the actual number of residential EDUs at final plat approval against Zoned but not platted residential EDUs estimated at the time of signing this Agreement. Either the
Coordinator will pay the Landowner or the Landowner will pay the Coordinator that difference contemporaneous with the final payment as triggered by the last final platted parcel(s) to record within the Land. In the event that some portion of the
Land is sold and transferred to an unaffiliated third party before this payment is due then the payment amount will be held in an escrow until the Coordinator satisfies its obligation under the terms of this Agreement. Other than the initial $25
payment, no portion of the Landowner Payment shall be due for any portion of the Land that is not Zoned for single family residential use until such portion of the Land is subjected to a final site plan approved by Pinal County which Landowner shall
reasonably pursue. Coordinator specifically 

 understands and agrees that Landowner has no obligation to record final platting
under this Agreement and such decision is left to Landowners’ sole discretion. 
  

	 	•	 	 An example of how this would calculate for a section of land included in the CC&N with nothing other than 2,100 Zoned residential EDUs
developed in three phases of 700 EDUs each: 

	 	¡ 	 	 $25 times 2,100 EDUs or $52,500 is due upon signing of the Infrastructure Coordination Agreement; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $500 times 2,100 EDUs or $1,050,000 is due fifteen (15) days after Coordinator issues the Start Work Notice; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $3,075 times 700 EDUs, (based on the Zoned residential EDU’s in the phase of the Land in which the first plat records) or $2,152,500, plus
$250 times remaining 1,400 Zoned EDUs within the remainder of the Land, or $350,000, for a total of $2,502,600 is due at the first final plat approval, or at the time the CC&N expansion has been approved as is evidenced by the publication of a
decision and/or order from the ACC whichever is the later; 

	 	¡ 	 	 then, $2,825 per EDU is payable as and when the remaining single family lots are created by approved final plats. 

The following describes the timing of payments for commercial and industrial property based on the $3,100 per EDU base year price at 4.8 EDUs
per acre. Amounts due for the CPI Factor for each EDU is paid as land is subjected to a final approved site plan. 

	 	¡	 	 Of this amount, $25 per EDU for all Zoned commercial or industrial acres is payable upon signing of this Agreement, or upon final zoning whichever
is the later. 

	 	¡	 	 The remaining $3,575 per EDU is payable when the County approves the “Commercial or Industrial Site Plan”, 

	 	•	 	 An example of how this would calculate for a commercial or industrial section of land with 30 acres in size would be as follows:

	 	¡ 	 	 $25 x 30 acres x 4.8 EDU/acre or $3,600 is due upon signing of this Agreement; 

	 	¡ 	 	 $3,575 plus the CPI Factor x 30 acres x 4.8 EDU/acre or $514,800 is due and payable when the County approves the Commercial or Industrial Site
Plan. If the Commercial or Industrial Site Plan approval only relates to 15 of the 30 acres, $3,575 plus the CPI Factor x 15 acres x 4.8 EDU/acre or $257,400 is due and payable when the County approves the Commercial or Industrial Site Plan for the
15 acres. The balance of the $3,575 plus the CPI Factor due for 

 the remaining acreage is due as the County approves the
Commercial or Industrial Site Plan. 
 The parties acknowledge that additional fees will be billed to the commercial and industrial end user
based upon the ultimate use of the land and fixtures thereon. 
 Fees payable to SCW and PVU, and reimbursement for certain costs and
expenses incurred by Landowner with respect to the obtaining of Utility Services are not the subject of this Agreement and shall be paid and reimbursed to the appropriate parties in accordance with the Extension Agreements. 

5.        No Partnership. Coordinator is acting as an independent contractor
pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed (i) to create an association, agency relationship, joint venture, or partnership among the parties or to impose any partnership obligation or liability upon
either party, or (ii) to prohibit or limit the ability of Coordinator to enter into similar or identical agreements with other landowners, even if the activities of such landowners may be deemed to be in competition with the activities or
Landowner. 
 6.        Default. 

(a)        Landowner shall be deemed to be in material default under this Agreement
upon the expiration of ten (10) days, as to monetary defaults, and thirty (30) days, as to non-monetary defaults, following receipt of written notice from Coordinator specifying the particulars in which a default is claimed unless, prior to
expiration of the applicable grace period (ten (10) days or thirty (30) days, as the case may be), such default has been cured. A default by Landowner under this Agreement shall constitute a default by Landowner under the Extension Agreements
and a default by Landowner under the Extension Agreement(s) shall constitute a default under this Agreement. 

(b)        In the event Landowner is in default under this Agreement, the provisions
hereof may be enforced by any remedy permitted by law for specific performance, injunction, or other equitable remedies in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity In this regard, in the event Landowner fails to pay any amount as
and when due (including the Landowner Payment), which failure is not cured within ten (10) days after notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(a) above, such delinquent amounts shall bear interest 

 at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date until paid. In addition, to
the extent such sums remain unpaid following such ten (10) day period, Coordinator may claim a contractual lien for such sum, together with interest thereon as set forth above, which may be foreclosed against only that portion of the Land owned by
the defaulting landowner in the manner prescribed by law for the foreclosure of realty mortgages; Coordinator agrees that as and when portions of the Property are sold, the obligations hereunder shall be bifurcated based on the land area sold and
each landowner shall be solely (and not jointly) responsible for all sums owed with respect to the land areas that it owns and shall not have any obligation or liability for the failure of any other owner of any portion of the Land. 

(c)        Subject to the limitations described in the last sentence of the
subsection (b) above, amounts owed but not paid when due by Landowner shall be a lien against the Land that the parties agree shall relate back to the date upon which an executed copy of this Agreement is recorded in the Pinal County Recorders
Office along with a document entitled Preliminary Notice of Contractual Lien which sets forth: 
  

	 	i.	 The name of the lien claimant; 

  

	 	ii.	 the name of the party or then owner of the property or interest against which the lien is claimed; 

 

	 	iii.	 and a description of the property against which the lien is claimed. 

(d)        The lien shall take effect only upon recordation of a claim of contractual
lien as described below in the office of the Pinal County Recorder by Coordinator, and shall relate back to the date when the Preliminary Notice of Contractual Lien and executed copy of the Agreement were recorded, as set forth in paragraph
(c) above. Coordinator shall give written notice of any such lien. The Notice and Claim of Contractual Lien shall include the following: 
  

	 	(i)	 The name of the lien claimant. 

  

	 	(ii)	 The name of the party or then owner of the property or interest against which the lien is claimed. 

 

	 	(iii)	 A description of the property against which the lien is claimed. 

 

	 	(iv)	 A description of the default or breach that gives rise to the claim of 

 lien and a statement itemizing the amount of the claim. 

 

	 	(v)	 A statement that the lien is claimed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and reciting the date of recordation and recorder’s document
number of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(vi)	 The notice shall be acknowledged, and after recordation, a copy shall be given to the person against whose property the lien is claimed in any
manner prescribed under Section 15 of this Agreement. The lien may be enforced in any manner allowed by law, including without limitation, by an action to foreclose a mortgage or mechanic’s lien under the applicable provisions of the laws
of the State of Arizona. 

 (e) If the Landowner posts either (a) a bond executed by a fiscally
sound corporate surety licensed to do business in the State of Arizona, or (b) an irrevocable letter of credit from a reputable financial institution licensed to do business in the State of Arizona reasonably acceptable to Coordinator, which
bond or letter of credit (i) names Coordinator as the principal or payee and is in form satisfactory to Coordinator, (ii) is in the amount of one and one-half (l- 1⁄2) times the claim of lien, and (iii) unconditionally provides that it may be drawn on by Coordinator in the event of a final judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of Coordinator,
then Coordinator shall record a release of the lien or take such action as may be reasonably required by a title insurance company requested to furnish a policy of title insurance on such property to delete the lien as an exception thereto.
Landowner shall post the bond or letter of credit by delivery of same to Coordinator. All costs and expenses to obtain the bond or letter of credit, and all costs and expenses incurred by Coordinator, shall be borne by Landowner, unless Landowner is
the prevailing party in any litigation challenging the claimed lien. 

7.        Non Issuance of CC&N Expansion. In the event that Coordinator,
SCW and PVU are unable to obtain all of the necessary approvals from the ACC and ADEQ within eighteen (18) months of the execution of this Agreement or if such approvals are reversed or ultimately invalidated on appeal, which would allow for
the Land to be included in the CC&N expansions of SCW and PVU, then the Landowner or Coordinator at either party’s option may terminate this Agreement without recourse to either party. Should either party elect to terminate this Agreement
under this condition, any funds (other then the intial $25 per EDU payment) paid by the Landowner to the Coordinator for purposes of progressing the construction of any necessary infrastructure (the $500 per EDU payment described in Section 4
above) would be 

 refundable at that time and would be become due and payable to the Landowner within fifteen
(15) days of termination of this Agreement. Any fees collected at the time of the execution of this Agreement are expressly non-refundable. In the event of termination of the Agreement, Coordinator shall remove or cause to be removed any
registration of this Agreement with Pinal County and waive any lien rights it may have under this Agreement. 

8.        Attorneys’ Fees. If any dispute arises out of the subject matter
of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in litigating or otherwise resolving such dispute. The
parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive the closing under this Agreement. 
 9.
        Applicable Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, notwithstanding any Arizona or other
conflict-of-law provisions to the contrary. The parties consent to jurisdiction for purposes of this Agreement in the State of Arizona, and agree that Maricopa County, Arizona, shall be proper venue for any action brought with respect to this
Agreement. 
 10.        Interpretation. The language in all parts of this
Agreement shall in all cases, be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly for nor against any party. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be construed as a part hereof. The parties
agree that each party has reviewed this Agreement and has had the opportunity to have counsel review the same and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the
interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or any exhibits thereto. Except where specifically provided to the contrary, when used in this Agreement, the term “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration. All
pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person(s) or entity(ies) may require. 

11.        Counterparts. This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by
all parties hereto and may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all of the parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement: 

12.        Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire integrated
agreement 

 
among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties with respect to such subject
matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. 

13.        Additional Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute, have

LINE EXTENSION AGREEMENT – SANTA CRUZ WATER COMPANY 

WATER FACILITIES EXTENSION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is made this             day of
                            , 2005 by and between SANTA CRUZ WATER COMPANY, L.L.C. an Arizona limited
liability company (“Company”), and                            , an
                                (“Developer”). 

RECITALS: 

A.         Developer desires that water utility service be extended to and for its
real estate development located in Parcel          of
                         consisting of             
(single family, multifamily, or commercial) lots, in Pinal County within the general vicinity of the City of Maricopa, Arizona (the “Development”). A legal description for the Development is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and
incorporated herein by this reference. The Development is located within Company’s Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (“CC&N”). 

B.         Company is a public service corporation as defined in Article XV,
Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution which owns and operates water utility facilities and holds a CC&N from the Commission granting Company the exclusive right to provide water utility service within portions of Pinal County, Arizona. 

C.         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter, Developer is
willing to construct and install facilities within the Development necessary to extend water utility service to and within the Development, which facilities shall connect to the Company’s system as generally shown on the map attached hereto as
Exhibit “B.” Company is willing to provide water utility 

 service to the Development in accordance with relevant law, including the rules and regulations
of the Commission on the condition that Developer fully and timely perform the obligations and satisfy the conditions and requirements set forth below. 

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS: 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and agreements, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1.        Construction of Facilities. Developer agrees to
construct and install water distribution mains and pipelines, valves, booster stations, hydrants, fittings, service lines and all other related facilities and improvements necessary to provide water utility service to each lot or building within the
Development as more particularly described in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (referred to hereinafter as the “Facilities”). The Facilities shall connect to the Company’s system at the
point shown on the approved plans as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” and shall be designed and constructed within the Development in a manner which allows the provision of safe and reliable water utility
service to each lot therein. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, Company’s rights of plan review and approval and inspection of final construction), Developer shall be responsible for all
construction activities associated with the Facilities, and Developer shall be liable for and pay when due all costs, expenses, claims and liabilities associated with the construction and installation of the Facilities. 

2.        Construction Standards and Requirements. The Facilities shall
meet and comply with Company’s standards and specifications, and all engineering plans and specifications for the Facilities shall be approved by Company and its engineers (“Company’s 

 Engineer”), prior to the commencement of construction. Company and Company’s Engineer
shall review the plans and specifications and shall provide any requirements or comments as soon as practicable. Developer shall require that its contractor be bound by and conform to the plans and specifications for the Facilities as finally
approved by Company. The construction and installation of the Facilities shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), the Commission, and any other governmental
authority having jurisdiction thereover. 
 3.         Right of inspection;
Corrective Action. Company shall have the right to have Company’s Engineer inspect and test the Facilities at reasonable times during the course of construction as necessary to ensure conformance with plans and specifications. If at any
time before the final acceptance by Company of the Facilities any construction, materials or workmanship are found to be defective or deficient in any way, or the Facilities fail to conform to this Agreement, then Company may reject such defective
or deficient construction, materials and/or workmanship and require Developer to fully pay for all necessary corrective construction efforts (“Corrective Action”). Company reserves the right to withhold approval and to forbid connection of
any defective portion of the Facilities to Company’s system unless and until the Facilities have been constructed in accordance with plans and specifications and all applicable regulatory requirements. Further, Developer shall promptly
undertake any Corrective Action required to remedy such defects and deficiencies in construction, materials and workmanship upon receipt of notice by Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay acceptance
of the Facilities. 
 4.         Transfer of Ownership. Upon
completion and approval of the as-built Facilities by Company and any other governmental authority whose approval is required, 

 Developer shall transfer all right, title and interest in the Facilities to Company via a bill of
sale in a form satisfactory to Company. Thereafter, Company shall be the sole owner of the Facilities and be responsible for their operation, maintenance and repair. Company’s ownership and responsibility shall include all distribution mains
and/or related appurtenances within the Development up to the point of connection to the service line of each customer receiving service. Maintenance and repair of each service line, which lines are not part of the Facilities, shall be
Developer’s, the Development’s or each individual customers’ responsibility. All work performed by or on behalf of Developer shall be warranted by Developer for one year from the date of transfer of the Facilities to Company against
defects in materials and workmanship. Developer shall also covenant, at the time of transfer, that the Facilities are free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and unless the time period for filing lien claims has expired, shall provide evidence
in the form of lien waivers that all claims of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics and materialmen have been paid and satisfied. 

5.         Final As-Built Drawings and Accounting of Construction
Costs. Immediately following completion and approval of the Facilities, Developer shall provide Company with three sets of as-built drawings and specifications for the Facilities and a reproducible copy of such drawings. Developer shall also
provide an accounting of the cost of constructing and installing the Facilities, which amount shall be refundable in accordance with paragraph 8, below. Company shall have no obligation to furnish service to the Development or to accept the transfer
of the Facilities until Developer has complied with this paragraph. 
 6.        
Easements. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary easements and rights-of-way for the construction and installation, and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Facilities. Such easements and
rights-of-way shall be of adequate 

 size, location, and configuration so as to allow Company ready access to the Facilities for
maintenance and repairs and other activities necessary to provide safe and reliable water utility service. Such easements and rights-of-way shall be provided to Company by Developer at the same time as Developer transfers ownership of the Facilities
pursuant to paragraph 4, above. At the time of transfer, all easements and rights-of-way shall be free of physical encroachments, encumbrances or other obstacles. Company shall have no responsibility to obtain or secure on Developer’s behalf
any such easements or rights-of-way. 
 7.         Reimbursement for
Engineering and Other Fees and Expenses. Developer shall also reimburse Company for the costs, expenses and fees, including legal fees and costs that are incurred by Company for preparation of this Agreement, for reviewing and approving the
plans and specifications for the Facilities to be constructed by Developer, for inspecting the Facilities during construction and other supervisory activities undertaken by Company, for obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental authorities
(collectively the “Administrative Costs”). For such purpose, at the time of the signing of this Agreement, the Developer will pay an advance to the Company of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500). Developer shall provide additional
advances to Company, as may be requested by Company in writing from time-to-time, to reimburse Company for any additional Administrative Costs it incurs. All amounts paid to Company pursuant to this provision shall constitute advances in aid of
construction and be subject to refund pursuant to paragraph 8, below. 
 8.        
Refunds of Advances. Company shall refund annually to Developer an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross annual revenues received by Company from the provision of water utility service to each bona fide customer within
the Development. Such refunds shall be paid by Company on or before the first day of August, commencing in the fourth 

 calendar year following the calendar year in which title to the Facilities is transferred to and
accepted by Company and continuing thereafter in each succeeding calendar year for a total of twenty-two (22) years. No interest shall accrue or be payable on the amounts to be refunded hereunder, and any unpaid balance remaining at the end of
such twenty-two year period shall be non-refundable. In no event shall the total amount of the refunds paid by Company hereunder exceed the total amount of all advances made by Developer hereunder. For the purposes of this provision, the total
amount of Developer’s advances shall be equal to Developer’s actual cost of constructing the Facilities, less the costs of any corrective action as defined in paragraph 3 above, the costs of curing any defects arising during the warranty
period, as provided herein, and the costs of any unreasonable overtime incurred in the construction of the Facilities, above, and the amounts paid by Developer to Company for Administrative Costs pursuant to paragraph 7, above. 

9.        Company’s Obligation to Serve. Subject to the condition
that Developer fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, Company shall provide water utility service to all customers within the Development in accordance with Company’s tariffs and schedule of rates and charges for service, the rules
and regulations of the Commission and other regulatory authorities and requirements. However, Company shall have no obligation to accept and operate the Facilities in the event Developer fails to make any payment provided in this Agreement, fails to
construct and install the Facilities in accordance with Company’s standards and specifications and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of ADEQ, the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction
thereover, or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges and understands that Company will not establish service to any customer within the Development until such time as 

 Company has accepted the transfer of the Facilities, and all amounts that Developer is required
to pay Company hereunder have in fact been paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not terminate service to any customer within the Development to whom service has been properly established as a consequence of any subsequent breach or
nonperformance by Developer hereunder. 
 10.        Liability for Income
Taxes. In the event it is determined that all or any portion of Developer’s advances in aid of construction hereunder constituted taxable income to Company as of the date of this Agreement or at the time Company actually receives such
advances hereunder, Developer will advance funds to Company equal to the income taxes resulting from Developer’s advance hereunder. These funds shall be paid to Company within twenty (20) days following notification to Developer that a
determination has been made that any such advances constitute taxable income, whether by virtue of any determination or notification by a governmental authority, amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, any regulation promulgated by the Internal
Revenue Service, or similar change to any statute, rule or regulation relating to this matter. Such notification shall include documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the Company’s liability for income taxes resulting from the
Developer’s advances in aid of construction under this Agreement. In the event that additional funds are paid by Developer under this paragraph, such funds shall also constitute advances in aid of construction. In addition, Developer shall
indemnify and hold Company harmless for, from and against any tax related interest, fines and penalties assessed against Company and other costs and expenses incurred by Company as a consequence of late payment by Developer of amounts described
above. 
 11.        Notice. All notices and other written
communications required hereunder 

 shall be sent to the parties as follows:

Development is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by this reference. The Development is located within Company’s Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (“CC&N”). 

B.         Company is a public service corporation as defined in Article XV,

willing to provide sewer utility service to the Development in 

 accordance with relevant law, including the rules and regulations of the Commission on the
condition that Developer fully and timely perform the obligations and satisfy the conditions and requirements set forth below. 

 COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS: 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and agreements, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:  

1.         Construction of Facilities. Developer agrees to
construct and install sewage collection mains, manholes, pumping stations and/or such other facilities and improvements necessary to provide sewer utility service to each lot or building within the Development as more particularly described in
Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (referred to hereinafter as the “Facilities”). The Facilities shall connect to the Company’s system at the point shown on the approved plans as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” and shall be designed and constructed within the Development in a manner which allows the provision of safe and reliable sewer utility service to each lot therein. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, Company’s rights of plan review and approval and inspection of final construction), Developer shall be responsible for all construction activities associated with the Facilities,
and Developer shall be liable for and pay when due all costs, expenses, claims and liabilities associated with the construction and installation of the Facilities. 

2.         Construction Standards and Requirements. The Facilities
shall meet and comply with Company’s standards and specifications, and all engineering plans and specifications for the Facilities shall be approved by Company and its engineers (“Company’s Engineer”) prior to the commencement of
construction. Company and Company’s Engineer shall review the plans and specifications and shall provide any requirements or comments as soon as practicable. Developer shall require that its contractor be bound by and conform to the

 
plans and specifications for the Facilities as finally approved by Company. The construction and installation of the Facilities shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), the Commission, and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover. 

3.         Right of Inspection; Corrective Action. Company shall have
the right to have Company’s Engineer inspect and test the Facilities at reasonable times during the course of construction as necessary to ensure conformance with plans and specifications. If at any time before the final acceptance by Company
of the Facilities any construction, materials or workmanship are found to be defective or deficient in any way, or the Facilities fail to conform to this Agreement, then Company may reject such defective or deficient construction, materials and/or
workmanship and require Developer to fully pay for all necessary corrective construction efforts (“Corrective Action”). Company reserves the right to withhold approval and to forbid connection of any defective portion of the Facilities to
Company’s system unless and until the Facilities have been constructed in accordance with plans and specifications and all applicable regulatory requirements. Further, Developer shall promptly undertake any Corrective Action required to remedy
such defects and deficiencies in construction, materials and workmanship upon receipt of notice by Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, Company shall not unreasonably withhold or delay acceptance of the Facilities. 

4.         Transfer of Ownership. Upon completion and approval of the
as-built Facilities by Company and any other governmental authority whose approval is required, Developer shall transfer all right, title and interest in the Facilities to Company via a bill of sale in a form satisfactory to Company. Company, in its
sole discretion, may require Developer to conduct a video inspection of any of the Facilities prior to final approval and acceptance to 

 
ensure that no breaks or similar defects exist. Thereafter, Company shall be the sole owner of the Facilities and be responsible for their operation, maintenance and repair. Company’s
ownership and responsibility shall include all pumping stations, manholes, collection and transmission mains and/or related appurtenances within the Development up to the point of connection of the sewer line of each customer receiving service to
the collection main. Maintenance and repair of each sewer service line, which lines are not part of the Facilities, shall be Developer’s, the Development’s or each individual customers’ responsibility. All work performed by or on
behalf of Developer shall be warranted by Developer for one year from the date of transfer of the Facilities to Company against defects in materials and workmanship. Developer shall also covenant, at the time of transfer, that the Facilities are
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and unless the time period for filing lien claims has expired, shall provide evidence in the form of lien waivers that all claims of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics and materialmen have been paid
and satisfied. 
 5.         Final As-Built Drawings and Accounting of
Construction Costs. Immediately following completion and approval of the Facilities, Developer shall provide Company with three sets of as-built drawings and specifications for the Facilities and a reproducible copy of such drawings.
Developer shall also provide an accounting of the cost of constructing and installing the Facilities, which amount shall be refundable in accordance with paragraph 8, below. Company shall have no obligation to furnish service to the Development or
to accept the transfer of the Facilities until Developer has complied with this paragraph. 

6.         Easements. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining all
necessary easements and rights-of-way for the construction and installation, and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Facilities. Such easements and rights-of-way shall be of adequate 

 
size, location, and configuration so as to allow Company ready access to the Facilities for maintenance and repairs and other activities necessary to provide safe and reliable sewer utility
service. Evidence of such easements and rights-of-way shall be provided to Company by Developer at the same time as Developer transfers ownership of the Facilities pursuant to paragraph 4, above. At the time of transfer, all easements and
rights-of-way shall be free of physical encroachments, encumbrances or other obstacles. Company shall have no responsibility to obtain or secure on Developer’s behalf any such easements or rights-of-way. 

7.         Reimbursement for Engineering and Other Fees and Expenses.
Developer shall also reimburse Company for the costs, expenses and fees, including legal fees and costs that are incurred by Company for preparation of this Agreement, for reviewing and approving the plans and specifications for the Facilities to be
constructed by Developer, for inspecting the Facilities during construction and other supervisory activities undertaken by Company, for obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental authorities (collectively the “Administrative
Costs”). For such purpose, at the time of the signing of this Agreement, the Developer will pay an advance to the Company of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500). Developer shall provide additional advances to Company, as may be
requested by Company in writing from time-to-time, to reimburse Company for any additional Administrative Costs it incurs. All amounts paid to Company pursuant to this provision shall constitute advances in aid of construction and be subject to
refund pursuant to paragraph 8, below. 
 8.         Refunds of Advances.
Company shall refund annually to Developer an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross annual revenues received by Company from the provision of sewer utility service to each bona fide customer within the Development.
Such refunds shall be paid by Company on or before the first day of August, 

 
commencing in the fourth calendar year following the calendar year in which title to the Facilities is transferred to and accepted by Company and continuing thereafter in each succeeding calendar
year for a total of twenty-two (22) years. No interest shall accrue or be payable on the amounts to be refunded hereunder, and any unpaid balance remaining at the end of such twenty-two year period shall be non-refundable. In no event shall the
total amount of the refunds paid by Company hereunder exceed the total amount of all advances made by Developer hereunder. For the purposes of this provision, the total amount of Developer’s advances shall be equal to Developer’s actual
cost of constructing the Facilities, less the costs of any corrective action as defined in paragraph 3 above, the costs of curing any defects arising during the warranty period, as provided herein, and the costs of any unreasonable overtime incurred
in the construction of the Facilities, above, and the amounts paid by Developer to Company for Administrative Costs pursuant to paragraph 7, above. 

9.         Company’s Obligation to Serve. Subject to the condition
that Developer fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, Company shall provide sewer utility service to all customers within the Development in accordance with Company’s tariffs and schedule of rates and charges for service, the rules
and regulations of the Commission and other regulatory authorities and requirements. However, Company shall have no obligation to accept and operate the Facilities in the event Developer fails to make any payment provided in this Agreement, fails to
construct and install the Facilities in accordance with Company’s standards and specifications and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of ADEQ, the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction
thereover, or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges and understands that Company will not establish service to any customer within the Development until such time as

 
Company has accepted the transfer of the Facilities, and all amounts that Developer is required to pay Company hereunder have in fact been paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall
not terminate service to any customer within the Development to whom service has been properly established as a consequence of any subsequent breach or nonperformance by Developer hereunder. 

10.         Liability for Income Taxes. In the event it is determined
that all or any portion of Developer’s advances in aid of construction hereunder constituted taxable income to Company as of the date of this Agreement or at the time Company actually receives such advances hereunder, Developer will advance
funds to Company equal to the income taxes resulting from Developer’s advance hereunder. These funds shall be paid to Company within twenty (20) days following notification to Developer that a determination has been made that any such
advances constitute taxable income, whether by virtue of any determination or notification by a governmental authority, amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, any regulation promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, or similar change to any
statute, rule or regulation relating to this matter. Such notification shall include documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the Company’s liability for income taxes resulting from the Developer’s advances in aid of construction
under this Agreement. In the event that additional funds are paid by Developer under this paragraph, such funds shall also constitute advances in aid of construction. In addition, Developer shall indemnify and hold Company harmless for, from and
against any tax related interest, fines and penalties assessed against Company and other costs and expenses incurred by Company as a consequence of late payment by Developer of amounts described above.
