 INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION AND
FINANCE AGREEMENT 
 THIS INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION AND FINANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is entered into as of January 8, 2008 between Global Water Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GWR” and “Coordinator”) and The Orchard at Picacho, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company
(“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 of Global Water - Picacho Water Company (“PWC”) and
Global Water - Picacho Utilities Company (“PUC”) and provides equity for its subsidiaries capital construction and improvements. 

C.        PWC and PUC are Arizona public service corporations and are currently
seeking 

 
jointly seek certificates of convenience and necessity (“CC&Ns”) from the Arizona Corporation Commission (“ACC”) to provide water, waste water and reclaimed
water plant and services (collectively “Utility Services”) in a designated geographic area within the State of Arizona. Through Coordinator, PWC and PUC shall provide water, wastewater and reclaimed water plant and services to the
Development. 
 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 water and wastewater utility services by PWC and PUC with respect to the Land pursuant to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and (ii) work with PWC and PUC to include the Land in new
CC&N service areas. Landowner may entitle and sell the land in multiple phases to entities for future development. Through Coordinator, Landowner has requested water and wastewater services from GWR, and GWR through PWC and PUC has agreed to
provide such services to Landowner. Coordinator shall use good faith efforts to provide “will serve” letters and a notice of intent to serve from PWC and PUC for Landowner and file for CC&N Approval within 60 days of execution of this
Agreement. 
 E.        The parties acknowledge that the formation 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 recognize and
acknowledge that this Agreement is a financing and coordinating agreement only. The fees contemplated in this Agreement 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. 

H.        The parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is
contingent upon a thirty (30) acre wastewater treatment site for the Water Reclamation Facility (“WRF”), as 

 
will be outlined in the CAAG 208 document to be filed by PUC, being deeded to PUC prior to the filing of an Aquifer Protection Permit by PUC. The parties also recognize, acknowledge and agree
that this Agreement is contingent upon a six (6) acre water treatment site (“WTP”) being deeded to PWC within twelve months of the execution of this Agreement. In the event PUC, PWC and/or Coordinator fails to satisfy and/or meet any
and all CC&N conditions or other regulatory requirements, both the land for the WRF and WTP shall revert to Landowner and PUC, PWC and/or Coordinator shall deed such land to Landowner. 

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 legally form PWC and PUC, then facilitate, arrange and/or coordinate with PWC and PUC, as necessary, to provide Utility Services to Landowner, including without
limitation, obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from ACC, ADWR, ADEQ and CAAG to form the CC&Ns of PWC and PUC to include 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 PWC and PUC) 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, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

 
PWC and PUC will construct the appropriate wastewater treatment facilities to treat wastewater flows from the Land which will constitute approximately 8,000 equivalent dwelling units. 

2.        Coordination with PWC and PUC. Coordinator shall make good faith
efforts to arrange and obtain for Landowner from PWC and PUC to provide the services more fully described on Exhibit D hereto. 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 PWC and PUC respectively, at the time any portion of the Land has received final plat approval from Pinal
County (“Plat Approval”), Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Extension Agreement shall be in the form 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 PWC and PUC, 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 PWC and PUC 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. As Landowner ceases to
utilize Land, or portions thereof, for farming or raising of stock, Landowner shall thereafter provide and transfer to PWC the prorated portion of any and all water rights, which are owned by Landowner at the time of the 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. As Landowner ceases to utilize the Land, or portions thereof,
Landowner shall thereafter transfer and convey to PWC at no cost to PWC (or Coordinator) any wells on such Land that PWC, in its sole discretion, deems useful for PWC, whether operational, abandoned, agricultural or otherwise. In addition, if PWC
identifies well sites on the Land that PWC, in its sole discretion, deems useful for PWC, Landowner shall cause such well sites to be identified on the Plat Approval and dedicated to PWC 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 PWC 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 may 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. 

4.        Payment Obligations. Landowner, or its assigns in title and/or
successors in title, shall pay Coordinator the sum of $5,015.00 per 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 the CC&N application is filed for this area being treated as the
base Index, plus two percent (2%). If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term of this letter, 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 and the most current available Index was 187.3 and the Index for January 2006 was 182.5, the
Landowner Payment per EDU would be calculated as follows: $5,015 x 187.3/182.5 x 1.02 = $5,147. The number of EDUs within the Development shall be calculated as follows: (i) each single family residential EDU 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. 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 $5,015 per EDU base fee. 
 The following describes the timing of
payments for residential EDUs contingent on the base year price of $5,015 per EDU. Until a plat approval is received, residential EDUs are assumed to be at 

 
3.5 EDU per acre. Any additional amounts due for the CPI Factor is paid as each phase is final platted. 
  

	 	-	 Of this amount, $65 per EDU for all EDUs is payable upon signing of the Infrastructure Financing and Coordination Agreement and will be used to
secure the necessary permits required to construct and operate the planned infrastructure (“Initial Payment”). 

	 	-	 $500 per EDU for all residential EDUs is payable when all approvals are in place to begin the construction of the planned phase one infrastructure
to serve 2,000 EDUs. This payment is due within fifteen (15) days after a “Start Work Notice” has been issued by the Coordinator. 

	 	-	 At final plat approval, $4,450 per EDU is payable for all EDUs final platted and $250 is payable for remaining EDUs within the development.

	 	-	 For the balance of the EDUs to be final platted in the future, $4,200 per EDU is payable at final plat. The Coordinator will true up any
discrepancy with respect to the actual number of EDUs at final plat against 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 final platted parcel(s) in the Development. 

 An example of how this would calculate for land
included in the CC&N with 7,700 residential EDU’s developed in phases of 500 EDU’s each: 

	 	-	 $65 times 7,700 EDU’s or $500,500 is due upon signing of the Infrastructure Financing and Coordination Agreement. 

	 	-	 $500 times 2,000 EDU’s or $1,000,000 is due fifteen (15) days after Coordinator mails the Start Work Notice. 

	 	-	 $4,450 plus the CPI Factor times 500 final platted EDU’s, or $2,225,000, plus $250 times remaining 7,200 preliminary platted EDU’s, or
$1,800,000 for a total of $4,025,000 is due at the first final plat approval for the first 500 EDU’s. 

	 	-	 Then, $4,200 plus the CPI Factor per EDU is payable when the remaining EDU’s are final platted. 

The following describes the timing of payments for commercial and industrial property based on the $5,015 per EDU base year price at 4.8
EDU’s per acre. Any additional amount due for the CPI Factor is aggregated with the total fee. 
  

	 	-	 Of this amount, $65 per EDU for all commercial or industrial acres is payable upon signing of the Infrastructure Financing and Coordination
Agreement. 

	 	-	 The remaining $4,950 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:

	 	¡	 	 $65 x 30 acres x 4.8 EDU/acre or $9,360 is due upon signing of the Infrastructure Financing and Coordination Agreement. 

	 	¡	 	 $4,950 plus the CPI Factor x 30 acres 4.8 EDU/acre or $712,800 is due and payable when 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 PWC and PUC, 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. 

4.1        Payment Obligations for Costs of Permits for Utility
Services. The parties to this agreement agree that the various costs of permitting of the Utility Services will cost $500,500 ($65 x 7,700 EDUs), due at signing of this Agreement and consists as follows: 

 

	 	●	 	 Formation of two new legal entities: 

  

	 	●	 	 Filing for the application for the formation of the CC&Ns with the ACC; 

 

	 	●	 	 Filing of the Central Arizona Association of Governments 208 Wastewater areawide plan amendment (“CAAG208”); 

 

	 	●	 	 Filing of the application for an Aquifer Protection Permit (“APP”) with the ADEQ; 

 

	 	●	 	 Filing of the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“AZPDES”) with the ADEQ; and 

 

	 	●	 	 Filing for a Certificate of Designation for PWC in conjunction with obtaining a 100-year assured water supply designation with ADWR.

 4.2        Guaranteed Minimum Payment.
The guaranteed minimum payment from the Landowner for Infrastructure Coordination and Finance Fees per quarter shall commence upon substantial completion of the water reclamation facility and remains payable until 1,500 of the EDU’s have
received a final plat approval and the Landowner 

 
Payments have been paid in full to Coordinator. The guaranteed minimum payment that Landowner must pay per quarter is as follows: 

A.    For the first year, starting with the date of substantial completion, Landowner will
pay Coordinator the equivalent of 80 EDU’s per quarter for the unpaid portion of the $5,015 per EDU. 

B.    The second year after substantial completion, Landowner must pay Coordinator the
equivalent of 125 EDU’s per quarter for the unpaid portion of the $5,015 per EDU. 

C.    The third year after substantial completion, Landowner must pay Coordinator the
equivalent of 170 EDU’s per quarter for the unpaid portion of the $5,015 per EDU. 
 Under this section, Coordinator
acknowledges and agrees that Landowner shall be obligated to make payment only for the first 1,500 EDUs that are connected to the system and are actively being billed monthly. Coordinator acknowledges that Landowner intends to sell the land to other
builders and developers who will make and assume the obligations for the Infrastructure Coordination and Finance Fee payments to Coordinator under this Agreement. To the extent Coordinator receives payments from such builders or developers for
amounts already paid to Coordinator by Landowner, Coordinator shall refund such amounts to Landowner. Finally, to the extent sales in the first year exceed 125 EDUs per quarter and payments are made under this Agreement, such payments shall be
credited against Landowner’s guaranteed minimum payment obligation of 1,500 EDUs under this paragraph on a going forward basis. 

5.        Security. Landowner is to provide security for the guaranteed minimum
payments described in section 4.2 in a form reasonably acceptable to GWR in its sole discretion. Such security agreement/guaranty is attached as Exhibit G to this Agreement, and will be executed at the time of the payment of the Start Work Notice.
The entity executing the security agreement/ guaranty must be a different legal entity than Landowner. The parties agree that the 

 
Deed of Trust referred to in Exhibit G must be recorded in first position (which Obligor shall cause to occur by satisfaction or subordination of any existing liens or encumbrances) against the
real property described on Exhibit 1 to the Deed of Trust and will be executed at the time of the payment of the Start Work Notice. The real property referred to in Exhibit 1 of that Deed of Trust must be real property other than the Land as
described in this Agreement. The parties may opt to collateralize the security agreement/guaranty with another form of collateral other than the Deed of Trust so long as the other form of collateral is acceptable to Coordinator. In the event the
Landowner defaults on the guaranteed minimum payments, Coordinator will first seek its remedies against the guarantor and the collateral of the security agreement/guaranty before it proceeds against Landowner and files a lien against the Land. 

5.1        Release of Security Agreement/Guaranty. Coordinator will release
the security agreement/guaranty if Landowner sells the Land to another developer or homebuilder that has the comparable financial stability and creditworthiness as homebuilders such as DR Horton, Engle Homes, Standard Pacific, Lennar Communities,
Pulte Homes, KB Homes, Shea Homes, or Fulton Homes. 
 5.2        Partial
Release of Security Agreement/Guaranty. Coordinator will partially release and reduce the obligation that the security agreement/guaranty secures if Landowner sells a portion of the Land to another developer or homebuilder that has the
comparable financial stability and creditworthiness as homebuilders such as DR Horton, Engle Homes, Standard Pacific, Lennar Communities, Pulte Homes, KB Homes, Shea Homes, or Fulton Homes. The amount of the security agreement/guaranty that
Coordinator will release will be determined before the closing of the sale of the portion of the Land to the subsequent developer or homebuilder. 

 6.        Sizing of Water Distribution
Mains and Sanitary Sewer Collection Mains. Coordinator, from time to time may, at its own discretion, decide to oversize certain water distribution mains and wastewater collection mains to service properties or planned developments not currently
contemplated within the scope of this Land. Any and all cost of oversizing these lines will be at the sole cost of GWR, including any and all engineering or other costs incurred by Landowner as a result of such oversizing. 

7.        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. 
 8.        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. 

(b)        In the event either party to this Agreement is in material default under
this Agreement, the provisions hereof may be enforced by any remedy permitted by law for specific performance, injunctive, 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. 

Coordinator understands that Landowner has not yet closed on its purchase of the land subject to this Agreement and such purchase currently is
in escrow. As a result, Coordinator may not record this Agreement with the Pinal County Recorder until (a) Landowner has closed on its purchase of the Land and assumed title or (b) the current property owner has consented in writing to
recordation of this Agreement against the land. 
 (d)        The lien shall take
effect only upon recordation of a claim of contractual lien as described below in the office of the 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 acknowledges and agrees to work with the Master Developer for the Project and its lenders to the extent reasonably possible to subordinate this agreement to allow additional
financing to occur. 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 (i) a bond executed by a fiscally sound corporate surety licensed to do business in the State of Arizona, or (ii) 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 (a) names Coordinator as the principal or payee and is in form satisfactory to Coordinator, (b) is in the amount of one and one-half (1- 1/2) times the claim secured by the lien, and (c) 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. 

9.        Non Issuance of CC&N Expansion. In the event that Coordinator PWC
and PUC are unable to obtain all of the necessary approvals from the ACC, ADWR and ADEQ within twenty-four (24) months of the execution of this Agreement, then the Landowner or Coordinator at either party’s option may terminate this
Agreement without recourse to either party. 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. The initial $65/EDU for permitting activities are non-refundable in any event. 

10.        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 reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in litigating, arbitrating, or otherwise resolving such dispute. The
parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive the closing under this Agreement. 

11.        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 Pinal County, Arizona, shall be proper venue for any action brought with respect to this Agreement. 

12.        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. 

13.        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. 

14.        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. 

15.        Additional Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute,
acknowledge, 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. 

16.        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. 

17.        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. 

18.        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. 

19.        Binding Effect; Partial Releases. 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 Land for the benefit of Coordinator, its successors and assigns and any
person acquiring any portion of the Land, upon acquisition thereof, shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of Landowner arising from this Agreement with respect only to that portion of the Land acquired without the necessity for the
execution of any separate instrument. If phases and/or parcels within the Land are sold individually, Coordinator will ensure that at such time as the Landowner Payment has been paid in full for that particular phase and/or parcel, Coordinator shall
release this Agreement of record from that particular phase and/or parcel, without releasing the Agreement from any other portion of the Land for which the Landowner Payment has not been paid in full. It is the intent of this Agreement to release
that portion of any lien which relates to parcels and or plats that are paid in 

 
full.

  (“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, multi-family or commercial) lots, in Pinal County within the general vicinity of the City of
            , 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 a sewage treatment plant and collection system and holds a CC&N from the Commission granting Company the exclusive right to provide sewer utility service within portions of Pinal
County, Arizona. 
 C.        Developer is willing to construct and install
facilities within the Development necessary to extend sewer 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

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

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

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, 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. 
 27.         Refunds of
Advances. Company shall refund annually to Developer an amount equal to ten percent (10%) 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 

SECURITY AGREEMENT 

A.         GUARANTY 

THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is made as of December    , 2005 by
                                    , a
                             (“Guarantor”), in favor of GLOBAL WATER RESOURCES, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“GWR”) by which Guarantor hereby agrees to guaranty payment to GWR, on the terms set forth herein, the obligations of
                     (“Obligor”) as set for the herein. 

B.         RECITALS 

A.         GWR and Obligor have entered into that certain Infrastructure Coordination
and Finance Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Agreement”), incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Agreement. 

B.         Pursuant to and as more fully described in Section 4.2 of the
Agreement, Obligor is obligated to make certain guaranteed minimum payments to GWR (individually, a “Guaranteed Minimum Payment,” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Minimum Payments”) of an interest and financing fee in the amount
of $5,015.00 plus CPI Index if applicable per EDU at the time of final plat approval or at other times as specified in the Agreement for 80 EDUs per quarter commencing once the construction of the water reclamation facility has achieved substantial
completion, 125 EDUs per quarter for the second year following substantial completion and 170 EDUs per quarter for the third year following substantial completion, until 1,500 EDUs are connected to GWR’s utility system and are actively billed
each month. 
 C.         This Guaranty is being executed in satisfaction of the
requirement in Section 4.2 of the Agreement that the Guaranteed Minimum Payment obligations “be documented by a separate guarantee.” 

NOW, THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars and other good and valuable consideration, including GWR’s willingness to enter into the
Agreement, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows: 

1.         Guarantor hereby guaranties to GWR the payment of the Guaranteed Minimum
Payments (individually and collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) subject to the following provisions: in the event and to the extent that the obligation to pay a portion of a Guaranteed Minimum Payment to GWR is, pursuant to an
instrument in a form reasonably acceptable to GWR, expressly assumed by an entity acquiring and becoming the fee title owner of a portion of the property within the Development, Guarantor’s liability for that portion only of the 

 Guaranteed Minimum Payment shall be deemed terminated. The Guaranteed Obligations will be secured
by that certain Deed of Trust (“Deed of Trust”) attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Deed of Trust will be executed and recorded contemporaneously with the Obligor’s (or Guarantor’s) payment to GWR of the Start Work Notice
(approximately $1,000,000), all as provided in section 4 of the Agreement. Guarantor will cause Obligor to ensure that the Deed of Trust is, when recorded, in first position as against the real property described on Exhibit 1 to the Deed of Trust
and a failure to do so shall be deemed a breach of the obligations secured by this Guaranty. 

2.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event
shall Guarantor be liable for, and GWR waives any right to, consequential, special or punitive damages arising out of Obligor’s failure to pay the Guaranteed Obligations. 

3.         The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered,
limited or affected by any case, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Guarantor or by any defense which Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or
decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such case. Guarantor hereby permits any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay GWR, or allow the claim of
GWR in respect of, any such payment accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced. Guarantor hereby assigns to GWR Guarantor’s right to receive any such payments from any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person by way of dividend, adequate protection payment or otherwise. 

4.         The obligations of Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
shall in no event be greater than the obligations of Obligor under the Agreement, and Guarantor shall, with regard to the Guaranteed Obligations, be entitled to all rights and defenses of Obligor under the Agreement, except as expressly waived in
this Guaranty. 
 5.         Guarantor represents and warrants to GWR that no
consent of any other person not heretofore obtained, including, without limitation, any creditors of Guarantor, and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any
governmental authority is required by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty and all obligations required hereunder. This Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by Guarantor, and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 

6.         Guarantor represents and warrants to GWR that the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty shall not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation binding on Guarantor, or any order, judgment, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding on Guarantor, or of any mortgage,
indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets may be bound, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien
on any of Guarantor’s properties, assets or revenues pursuant to the provisions of any such mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking. 

 7.         No terms or provisions of this
Guaranty may be changed, waived, revoked or amended without GWR’s prior written consent. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by GWR and its
successors and assigns. 
 8.         In the event any term or provision hereof is
declared to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and
enforceable, This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona. 

9.     If there is any litigation to enforce or interpret this Guaranty, the unsuccessful party in such
litigation, as determined by the court, shall pay to the successful party, as determined by the court, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the successful party. 

10.         No failure or delay on the part of GWR to exercise any power, right or
privilege under this Guaranty shall impair such power, right or privilege, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. 
 11.         The
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of Obligor’s obligations to make the Guaranteed Minimum Payments, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Obligor
or whether Obligor be joined in any such action or actions; and Guarantor has waived the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting their liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, including, but not limited to A.R.S. Section 12-1641.
GWR’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any one of its rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Guaranteed Minimum Payments have been paid. 

12.         Guarantor waives any right to require GWR to (a) proceed against
Obligor; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Obligor or, (c) pursue any other remedy in GWR’s power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Obligor or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Guarantor. 

13.         The amount of Guarantor’s liability and all rights, powers, and
remedies of GWR hereunder and under the Agreement shall be cumulative and not alternative, and such rights, powers, and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and remedies given to GWR by law. 

14.         GWR shall have a lien upon and a right of set-off against all money,
securities and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with GWR, and every such lien and right of set-off may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Guarantor. No lien or right of set-off shall be
deemed to have been waived by any act of GWR or any failure to exercise such right of set-off, and every right of set-off and lien shall continue in 

 full force and effect until such right of set-off or lien is specifically waived or released by
an instrument in writing executed by GWR. 
 15.         Any indebtedness of Obligor
now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Obligor to GWR; and such indebtedness of Obligor to Guarantor if GWR so requests shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for GWR and be paid
over to GWR on account of the obligations of Obligor to GWR but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. 

16.         GWR will release this Security Agreement if Obligor sells the real
property that is the subject of the Agreement (“the Land”) to another developer or homebuilder that has the comparable financial stability and creditworthiness as homebuilders such as DR Horton, Engle Homes, Standard Pacific, Lennar
Communities, Pulte Homes, KB Homes, Shea Homes, or Fulton Homes. GWR will partially release and reduce the obligation that this Security Agreement secures if Obligor sells a portion of the Land to another developer or homebuilder that has the
comparable financial stability and creditworthiness as homebuilders such as DR Horton, Engle Homes, Standard Pacific, Lennar Communities, Pulte Homes, KB Homes, Shea Homes, or Fulton Homes. The amount of the Security Agreement that Coordinator will
partially release will be based on the number of EDUs that the subsequent homebuilder or developer will connect to the system. The amount of EDUs will be determined, and the amendment of this Security Agreement will be executed, before the closing
of the sale of the portion of the Land. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty has been executed as of the date first set
forth hereinabove.

auction, at the time and place specified in the Notice of Trustee’s Sale, to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at the time of sale. Any persons, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary may purchase at

considered a default of this Deed of Trust, and Trustee or Beneficiary herein may advance the moneys necessary to remedy such defaults, and, if it does, such moneys shall be added to the obligation secured and shall bear the maximum contractual
legal rate of interest from the date moneys are tendered. Beneficiary may also proceed on this default by exercising the same remedies it has on this Deed of Trust. 

18.    Foreclosure and Other Remedies. In lieu of sale pursuant to the power of sale conferred hereby, this Deed of
Trust may be foreclosed in the same manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property. Beneficiary shall also have all other rights and remedies available hereunder and at law or in equity. All rights and remedies shall be
cumulative. 
 19.    Reinstatement After Default. Notwithstanding Beneficiary’s acceleration of sums
secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by Beneficiary to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued and to have this Deed of Trust reinstated before the day of the Trustee’s Sale. In order to have
the Deed of Trust reinstated after default, the Trustor must: 
  

	a.	 Pay to beneficiary the entire amount due under this Deed of Trust and the Obligation Secured, other than such portion of the principal as would not
be due had no default occurred; 

	b.	 Cure all defaults or any covenants or agreements of Trustor as contained in this Deed of Trust; 

	c.	 Pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee in enforcing the terms of this Deed of Trust and pursuing remedies in accordance

20.    Assignment of Property Income. As additional security, Trustor hereby gives Beneficiary the right, power and
authority during the continuance of this Trust, to collect the property income, reserving to Trustor he right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and
retain such property income as it becomes due and payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby
secured: (i) enter upon and take possession of the Subject Real Property or any part thereof; in its own name sue for or otherwise collect such property income, including that past due and unpaid; and (ii) apply the same, less costs and
expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary may determine. 

21.    Acts of Trustee Affecting Subject Real Property. At any time, without notice, upon written request of
Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Obligation Secured for endorsement, Trustee may, without liability, release and reconvey all or any part of the Subject of Real Property; consent to the making and recording, or either, of
any map or plat of all or any part of the Subject Real Property; join in granting any easement thereon; join in or consent to any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien, encumbrance or charge hereof. Any such action by Trustee
may be taken without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, without affecting the security hereof for the full amount secured hereby on all property remaining subject hereto, and without the
necessity that any sum representing the value or any portion thereof of the property affected by Trustee’s action be credited on the indebtedness. 

22.    Satisfaction of the Obligation. If Trustee receives full payment of the Obligation Secured in the amount
secured, at the request of Trustor, Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction of the Deed of Trust by recording and delivering to Trustor a Satisfaction or Release of Realty Deed of Trust. Should Trustee fail to make such acknowledgment as required by
ARS § 33-712, Trustee shall be liable to Trustor, its heirs or assigns, in accordance with ARS § 33-712. 

23.    Notices. Copies of all notices and communication concerning this Deed of Trust shall be mailed to the

 INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION, FINANCE AND OPTION AGREEMENT 

THIS INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION, FINANCE AND OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as
of July 10, 2006 between Global Water Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GWR” and “Coordinator”) and Sierra Negra Ranch, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“Landowner”). 
 RECITALS 

A.        Coordinator is engaged in the business of, among other things, acquiring
and consolidating water and wastewater utilities, coordinating the provision of water, wastewater and reclaimed water services to landowners through Coordinator’s regulated public service corporation affiliates and 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 coordination of construction services for
water, reclaimed water and wastewater treatment facilities, and (iii) providing financing for the provision of infrastructure in advance of growth. Coordinator’s services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement shall, however, be
provided as set forth hereinafter. 
 B.        Coordinator owns several regulated
utilities in the State of Arizona and is in the process of acquiring West Maricopa Combine, Inc. (“WMC”), an Arizona corporation, the holding company for five regulated water utilities including Water Utility of Greater Tonopah, Inc.
(“WUGT”), an Arizona corporation, the result of which is expected to include serving the Landowner’s property known as Silver Water Ranch and Silver Springs Ranch (the “Land”) as more particularly described in
Exhibit A to this Agreement. Coordinator intends to coordinate and facilitate water utility service to the Land through WUGT and any and all of Landowner’s obligations under this Agreement relating to water utility service are contingent
on final closing of the acquisition of WMC and WUGT. Upon such closing and approval, WMC and WUGT 

  
 1 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
will be wholly owned subsidiaries of Global Water, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GWR. Coordinator represents and warrants: (1) that the acquisition of WMC and WUGT does not require
approval of the Arizona Corporation Commission (“ACC”); (2) that Coordinator has full power to carry out the transactions provided for in this Agreement; (3) that Coordinator is not a party to any bankruptcy or similar
proceeding, nor to the best of Coordinator’s knowledge, are there any other matters pending which would adversely affect Coordinator’s ability to perform the services set forth in this Agreement; (4) and that Coordinator has the
financial capacity and experience to oversee and financially guarantee and hereby does guarantee to Landowner that Coordinator’s subsidiaries will have sufficient financial resources to provide the Utility Services described in this Agreement

 C.        Coordinator has formed a wastewater utility referred to as Hassayampa
Utility Company, Inc. (“HUC”) in order to serve the Land and other properties in the area, and has filed an application with the ACC for issuance of a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (“CC&N”) to provide public
wastewater utility service in the State of Arizona. HUC’s pending application for issuance of a CC&N pertains to another development and currently is before the ACC under Docket No SW-20422A-05-0659. HUC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Global Water, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GWR. Coordinator provides equity and will provide equity for its subsidiaries’ capital construction and improvements. 

D.        It is Coordinator’s intention in this Agreement to coordinate the
provision of integrated water, wastewater, and reclaimed water plant and services, and those related services, to the Land. Within thirty (30) days of the closing of the acquisition of WMC and WUGT by Coordinator, Coordinator shall coordinate
and arrange for the filing of CC&N extension applications by WUGT and HUC as necessary with the ACC to provide water, reclaimed water, and wastewater service (collectively, “Utility Services”) to the Land as well as other land.
Coordinator shall consult and coordinate with the Landowners regarding such filing. To the best of Coordinator’s actual knowledge, there are no laws, restrictions or other agreements which may prevent Coordinator from obtaining all the
governmental authorizations described in this Agreement, including the CC&N extension and approvals from the ACC. Coordinator does not have an agreement with any third party (other than a financing agreement with its lenders) under which
Coordinator or its successors in interest is or could become obligated to (i) sell HUC or WUGT or any portion thereof to a third party, or (ii) grant, transfer, or dedicate any part of 

  
 2 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
HUC’s or WUGT’s assets to a third party. Under this Agreement, Coordinator shall facilitate and arrange the provision of water, wastewater and reclaimed water services to the Land
through WUGT and HUC, and Coordinator shall financially guarantee to Landowner that WUGT and HUC will have sufficient financial resources to provide water, wastewater and reclaimed water service to the Land. Landowner’s obligations under this
Agreement relating to wastewater service are contingent on HUC obtaining a valid CC&N from the ACC and extending its CC&N to include the Land, and Coordinator’s continuing financial guarantees as set forth in this Agreement.
Landowner’s obligations under this Agreement relating to water service are contingent on WUGT obtaining a final order from the ACC extending WUGT’s CC&N to include the Land, and Coordinator’s financial guarantees as set forth in
this Agreement. Under this Agreement, Coordinator, WUGT and HUC shall be responsible for any and all engineering, design, construction, licensing, permitting, payment and financing for and of any and all water, wastewater, and reclaimed water plant,
production, treatment, storage, pumping, and delivery facilities constructed on or off the Land or on Coordinator’s, WUGT’s or HUC’s properties to the Delivery Points as defined below (the “Off-Site Facilities”),
necessary to provide water, reclaimed water, and wastewater service to the Land, and shall hold Landowner harmless from any liens or additional charges on the Land resulting from Coordinator’s, WUGT’s, and HUC’s provision of services
to the Delivery Points as set forth in this Agreement. Under this Agreement, “Off-Site Facilities” means those water, reclaimed water, and wastewater facilities to be constructed by Coordinator or its subsidiaries under this Agreement,
including all water, reclaimed water, and wastewater plant, production, treatment, transmission, storage, pumping, and delivery facilities constructed either off the Land, on the Land (but expressly excluding any delivery systems to the actual
end-users on the Land), or on Coordinator’s, WUGT’s or HUC’s properties to the Delivery Points as further defined and set forth on attached Exhibit H. Landowner shall not have any additional financial responsibilities for
Off-Site Facilities, including additional charges or hook-up fees intended to reimburse Coordinator, HUC and/or WUGT for Off-Site Facilities costs, except as set forth in this Agreement. 

E.        Landowner is the fee simple owner of that certain real property located in
Maricopa County, Arizona, the legal description of which is included on the attached Exhibit A (the “Land”). 

F.        To protect Landowner’s long-term investment in the Land and to ensure
that the 

  
 3 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
Land has access to essential utility services, the Landowner desires to engage Coordinator to provide various services including arranging and coordinating for the Landowner the provision of
water, reclaimed water, and wastewater utility services, and related services, by WUGT and HUC with respect to the Land pursuant to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Landowner will work with WUGT and HUC to include the Land in
WUGT’s and HUC’s CC&N service areas as necessary. Landowner may entitle and sell the land in whole, in part, or in multiple phases to entities for future development. Through Coordinator, Landowner has requested water, reclaimed water
and wastewater services from WUGT and HUC, and GWR through WUGT and HUC has, subject to the terms of this Agreement and as otherwise legally permitted, agreed to provide such services to Landowner, including the financing and construction of any and
all Off-Site Facilities necessary to provide water, reclaimed water and wastewater services to the Land. Coordinator shall facilitate and arrange for WUGT and HUC to provide “will serve” letters contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement in a form consistent with Exhibit I and shall provide notices of intent to serve as required by governmental agencies from WUGT and HUC for Landowner. In the event WUGT and HUC do not provide such will serve letters and notice of
intent to serve to Landowner, any amounts paid by Landowner under this Agreement shall remain in an interest bearing escrow account as set forth hereinafter until WUGT and HUC provide such will serve letters and notices of intent. If WUGT and HUC
fail to provide such letters and notices within 90 days of the date of this Agreement, Landowner shall have the right to a refund of any and all monies in such escrow account, including accrued interest. The Parties acknowledge that all Utility
Services will be provided by WUGT and HUC, and that Coordinator itself does not provide Utility Services. 

G.        The Parties acknowledge that the approval or extension of WUGT’s and
HUC’s CC&Ns may not be finalized until such time as the appropriate Arizona Department of Water Resources (“ADWR”), Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), Maricopa County Environmental
Services Department (“MCESD”), and Maricopa Association of Governments (“MAG”) permits and approvals are in place. 

H.        The parties recognize and acknowledge that this Agreement is a financing,
coordination, and option agreement only as more fully set forth herein. The fees contemplated in this Agreement represent an approximation of the carrying costs associated with interest and capitalized interest associated with the financing of
infrastructure for the benefit of the 

  
 4 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
Landowner or its successors 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 ongoing carrying costs for this infrastructure. Coordinator shall bear the risk that the approximation of the carrying costs does not match actual carrying costs, and Landowner shall not be required to pay any additional amount to
Coordinator or to others for carrying costs. 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, unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties, or except as otherwise required in this Agreement. 
 I.        The
Parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that the wastewater provisions of this Agreement are contingent upon one twenty (20) acre wastewater treatment site, with an option for up to 10 additional contiguous acres as described in subsection
3.5, for a Water Reclamation Facility (“WRF”), as outlined in the MAG 208 document filed by HUC on May 8, 2006, being deeded to HUC within 60 days of signing this Agreement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible under
applicable Arizona laws. Any change to the site location identified in the MAG 208 proceedings will require Landowner’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, and, if required, Coordinator shall seek to obtain an amendment to the MAG
208 Plan. The Parties also recognize, acknowledge and agree that the water supply obligations of this Agreement are contingent upon a three (3) acre water treatment plant (“WTP”) site being deeded to Coordinator or to WUGT within
twelve months of the execution of this Agreement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible under applicable Arizona laws. The WTP site can be located within the open space requirements of Maricopa County. In the event HUC and/or Coordinator
fail to satisfy and/or meet, or more likely than not will not be able to meet, any and all CC&N conditions or other regulatory requirements, or other conditions and performance requirements set forth in this Agreement for reclaimed water and/or
wastewater services as provided for herein, the land for the WRF shall revert immediately to Landowner and HUC and/or Coordinator shall deed such land in fee with no encumbrances to Landowner within 60 days of such failure. In the event WUGT and/or
Coordinator fail to satisfy and/or meet, or more likely than not will not be able to meet, any and all CC&N conditions or other regulatory requirements, or other conditions and performance requirements set forth in this Agreement for water
services as provided for herein, the land for the WTP shall revert immediately to Landowner and WUGT and/or Coordinator shall deed such land in fee with no encumbrances to Landowner within 60 

  
 5 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
days of such failure. In these events, Coordinator shall execute any and all necessary additional documents to effectuate such reversion to Landowner within ten (10) days of Landowner’s
written request. The locations of the WRF and WTP must be reasonably approved in writing by the Landowner, and any changes to the approved locations shall require the Landowner’s additional written approval and will occur upon Landowner’s
reasonable request. The proposed WRF locations as submitted on the MAG 208 filing are identified on Exhibit H. 

J.        The Parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is
contingent upon the acquisition of WMC and WUGT by Coordinator or its affiliates. It is further recognized, acknowledged and agreed that $500 per EDU of the Landowner Payment described in subsection 4.1 will be allocated toward the acquisition
purchase price of WMC and all its subsidiaries. 
 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 use its best efforts to complete the acquisition of WMC and WUGT, and upon such acquisition, Coordinator shall facilitate, arrange and/or coordinate with WUGT and HUC to provide
Utility Services to Landowner, including without limitation, obtaining any and all necessary permits and approvals from the ACC, ADWR, ADEQ, MCESD, and MAG for WUGT and HUC lawfully to provide timely Utility Services to the Land, which will contain
approximately 8,622 EDUs. In return for the payments by Landowner herein, and subject to the terms herein, Coordinator, through WUGT and HUC, shall construct any and all water, reclaimed water, and wastewater treatment plant, delivery facilities and
lines required by the development plan to the Delivery Points and to a reclaimed water storage facility within the Land, at locations to be requested by Coordinator or Landowner consistent with the development master plan and plats, and approved by
Landowner (the “Delivery Points”). Delivery Points have been estimated based on the current site plan and noted on Exhibit H. Coordinator shall achieve substantial completion of the WTP and WRF within 18 months of the
issuance of the Start Work Notice (“SWN”) described in subsection 4.1 below including any and all Off-Site Facilities. Coordinator shall and hereby does financially guarantee to Landowner that WUGT and HUC shall have sufficient financial

  
 6 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
resources to construct the appropriate water, reclaimed water, and wastewater facilities to provide water, reclaimed water and wastewater services to the Land for approximately 8,622 EDUs. It is
estimated that it may take up to eighteen (18) months to obtain all necessary permits and/or approvals contemplated by this Agreement. Following satisfaction of the conditions and regulatory approvals set forth above, Landowner may in its
absolute discretion issue a SWN to Coordinator to commence construction. Upon issuance of such notice, Coordinator shall commence bidding of construction services. Coordinator shall facilitate the construction and achieve substantial completion
within 18 months from the date of such notice as referenced below. 

2.        Coordination with WUGT and HUC. Coordinator shall cooperate with
Landowner as reasonably requested by Landowner and shall arrange and obtain the list of services on Exhibit D hereto for Landowner to be provided from WUGT and HUC, 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 from the Delivery Points must enter into separate Water Facilities Extension and Wastewater Facilities Extension Agreements (the “Extension
Agreements”) with WUGT and HUC respectively, at or prior to the time any portion of the Land has received final plat approval from Maricopa County (“Plat Approval”) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. The Extension
Agreements shall not contain any charges or fees for the cost of Off-Site Facilities or related services provided to the Delivery Points, including any administrative or oversight charges. To the extent either WUGT or HUC requests that Landowner
contribute or finance additional monies for Off-Site Facilities to provide water, reclaimed water or wastewater service to the Land, Coordinator hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landowner shall not be responsible for payment of such additional
costs for Off-Site Facilities to WUGT or HUC. Rather, Coordinator shall be responsible for payment of any and all such additional costs for Off-Site Facilities as requested by WUGT or HUC or as otherwise required. At Landowner’s option,
Landowner may pay WUGT or HUC for such additional costs for Off-Site Facilities, and Landowner then may offset and deduct any such payments to WUGT or HUC against any remaining amounts due to Coordinator under this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed
and negotiated by the Parties, which the Parties agree to do in good faith, the Extension Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibits E and F, subject to the approval of the ACC. 

  
 7 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

3.          Obligations of Landowner. Landowner agrees to cooperate
with Coordinator as reasonably requested by Coordinator and agrees to provide all information and documentation reasonably available to Landowner about the Land reasonably necessary for Coordinator to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement. The site plan anticipated at the time of this Agreement for the Land is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landowner may make changes to the site plan at Landowner’s discretion (so long as such changes do not materially affect the
obligations of the Parties herein), or the site plan will change consistent with Maricopa County decisions and requirements, and such changes shall be incorporated into this Agreement when received by Coordinator. 

3.1      In addition, Landowner agrees to grant to WUGT and HUC, all reasonably
necessary easements and rights of way on the Land requested by Coordinator and agreed by Landowner for the construction and installation and subsequent operation, maintenance and repair of the Utility Services. As determined and reasonably agreed by
the Parties, such easements and rights of way shall be of adequate size, location and configuration so as to allow WUGT and HUC, when the Land is developed by Landowner or its successors, ready and all weather access to all facilities for
maintenance and repairs and other activities reasonably necessary to provide safe and reliable water, reclaimed water, and wastewater Utility Services in a timely manner. Landowner is not required to provide any easements or access to any locations
outside of the Land. 
 3.2      Assured Water Supply Once WUGT has
constructed the WTP and has a pressurized water system inclusive of hydrants on the portion of the Land where Landowner needs and has requested water, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree that Landowner will pay the
ACC Tariff rates for water provided by WUGT, including construction water. Coordinator shall coordinate and negotiate with WUGT for a credit or reimbursement to Landowner in an amount equal to Landowner’s reasonable expenditures and reasonable
costs to provide any non-groundwater water resources or Type 2 right to WUGT pursuant to subsection 3.2.1 below. In order for the credit or reimbursement to occur, WUGT must own or control the non-groundwater water resource or Type 2 right provided
by Landowner. The reclaimed water Tariff rate shall apply to any water WUGT provides to Landowner for interim uses on parcels that will use reclaimed water long term, such as golf course watering, lake fill

  
 8 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
and refill, and common area watering. Landowner agrees to not apply for a Certificate of Assured Water Supply before January 1, 2007 to allow Coordinator the opportunity to research the
option of obtaining an Assured Water Supply Designation. 
 3.2.1    Coordinator is
currently planning to have WUGT obtain an Assured Water Supply Designation (“Designation”) from ADWR to serve WUGT’s service area. This subsection 3.2.1 shall apply only if Coordinator or WUGT secure a Designation. As Landowner at its
discretion ceases to utilize the appurtenant grandfathered groundwater withdrawal rights on the Land or any phase of the Land for which a final plat has not yet been approved, for farming or raising of stock, and for construction or development
purposes, Landowner will submit an application to ADWR to extinguish the Irrigation Grandfathered Rights and Type 1 Rights appurtenant to these areas, and will transfer the extinguishment credits to WUGT in consideration of WUGT’s provision of
an assured water supply for the Land. Landowner or its successor may at their discretion retain the Type 1 Rights appurtenant to a parcel of land to utilize long term in conjunction with development of hot spring facilities on the Land. To the
extent the Irrigation Grandfathered Rights, Type 1 Rights, or alternative water supplies provided by Landowner to WUGT at the time set forth in Section 3.2 and pursuant to this subsection 3.2.1 are insufficient to provide the quantity of water
necessary to meet the needs of certain non-residential uses, including water features, hot spring facilities, turf-related facility watering, lakes, and golf course uses, Landowner agrees to provide Type 2 rights, Type 1 rights delivered from other
portions of the Land that have not yet received final Plat Approval, long-term storage credits and/or a recovery well permit, or an acceptable alternative water supply, that may be used to serve these uses in a manner that is consistent with
ADWR’s consistency with management goal requirements and that, if applicable, does not result in an increase to any replenishment obligation of WUGT (unless Landowner satisfies such obligation) until the Land is generating enough reclaimed
water for those purposes. Coordinator shall negotiate and coordinate with WUGT to withdraw and serve such Type 2 water, Type 1 water, stored water or alternative water to Landowner upon request as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
provisions in this subsection, Coordinator will indemnify Landowner for any actions taken by Coordinator or its subsidiaries that demonstrably 

  
 9 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
harms Landowner’s priority to physically available water below Landowner’s property as determined in the ADWR’s Analysis of Assured Water Supply (“Analysis”)
number 28-401346.0000 dated September 28, 2004. Coordinator’s indemnity shall be limited to the obligation to timely provide an equivalent amount of physically available water of such a quantity and quality as is required to meet
Landowner’s objectives for the Land within the quantity and quality deemed available in the Analysis. 

3.2.2    This subsection 3.2.2 shall apply if Coordinator or WUGT are unable to obtain a
Designation or if Coordinator or WUGT fail to obtain or will not be able to obtain a Designation within six (6) months prior to the date Landowner or its successors reasonably expect to obtain final Plat Approval for any part of the Land.
Landowner shall retain all Irrigation Grandfathered Rights and Type 1 Rights appurtenant to the Land or phase to be Certificated. Landowner or its successors will notify Coordinator of the platting timeline when the same is determined by Landowner
in its reasonable discretion. Landowner shall retain the right to use Type 1 Rights within the Land or phase, and WUGT shall be responsible for administering or reporting such uses if required by ADWR or the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment
District. If Landowner chooses to extinguish any Irrigation Grandfathered Rights or Type 1 Rights, Landowner will retain the extinguishment credits. For two years past the date the Certificate of Assured Water Supply issues for the applicable Land
or phase, WUGT shall have the exclusive option to purchase any such extinguishment credits resulting from such Land or phase pursuant to this subsection for $100 per credit to be paid to the owner of the credits. 

3.3      Coordinator or WUGT’s interests in owning existing wells on the
Land are primarily for groundwater uses until reclaimed water is available as well as possibly converting the well to a service area well for use in water production for the CC&N area. After Landowner or its delegee have ceased farming a portion
of the Land, and if such wells, tanks, pressurization structures or other water appurtenances are no longer needed by Landowner for uses on or under the Land, Landowner shall transfer and convey to Coordinator or WUGT at no cost to WUGT (or
Coordinator) any of Landowner’s wells, tanks, pressurization structures, and other water appurtenances of any kind or nature on such portion of Land that Coordinator, in its sole and reasonable discretion, deems useful

  
 10 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
for WUGT, whether operational, abandoned, agricultural or otherwise. In addition, if WUGT identifies existing well sites on the Land that WUGT deems useful for WUGT, and such existing well sites
are 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, Landowner shall cause such well sites to be identified on the final Plat Approval and
dedicated to WUGT in fee, free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. If WUGT selects an existing well site for uses identified at the beginning of this sub-section, and Landowner or its successors still wish to use
the existing well, then Landowner or its successors will establish a customer account with WUGT whereby Landowner can obtain the water necessary to continue farming or raising of live stock, or for construction uses in areas or phases of the Land
that lack a pressurized water system inclusive of hydrants at a special agricultural or bulk rate equal to Landowner’s cost of pumping and required repairs prior to the transfer of the well. In lieu of ACC approval for the special agricultural
or bulk rate, Coordinator will subsidize the Landowner in this area. Coordinator or WUGT shall be responsible for the well site, well replacement, and all well operation and maintenance expenses. Any well sites, tanks and pressurization structures
not transferred to Coordinator or WUGT are to be decommissioned at the Landowner’s expense. 

3.4      Both Parties acknowledge that until reclaimed water is available for
the Land, groundwater from wells on the Land may be utilized. The rate charged for the use of such groundwater for lake fills is the ACC Tariff rate set for reclaimed water. Coordinator will obtain an Interim Use Permit (“IUP”) from ADWR
on behalf of the Landowner or the Landowner’s homeowners association to allow the use of groundwater or alternative water source until reclaimed water is available. Specific identified costs associated with completing the IUP 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. The ongoing
renewal costs and annual reporting associated with the maintenance of the IUP shall be borne by the Landowner or the designated homeowners association as appropriate. Upon agreement of the Parties, 

  
 11 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
which will not be unreasonably withheld by Coordinator, Landowner or its successor may submit its own IUP application at its own expense. 

3.5      Landowner agrees to deed or cause the deeding by the record owner,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and at no cost to Coordinator, one twenty (20) acre wastewater treatment site for a Water Reclamation Facility (“WRF”), as outlined in the MAG 208 document filed by HUC on
May 8, 2006 and as determined in consultation with Landowner, to Coordinator or to HUC prior to the filing of an Aquifer Protection Permit by HUC. If Landowner’s approved development master plan requires changes to the WRF location or
plan, Coordinator shall seek approval for an amendment the MAG 208 Plan consistent with the approved development master plan for the Land. If a site change for the WRF is required, Landowner recognizes Coordinator’s obligation under the
preceeding sentence is contingent on the approved amendment of the MAG 208 Plan. As required for service to the Land, Landowner is responsible for all costs related, if any, to provide that the actual footprint of the WRF (as located within the WRF
site) is out of the floodplain prior to the filing of permits at Landowner’s request as necessary for the construction and ultimate operation of the WRF to serve the Land. Landowner acknowledges the 20 acres may require specific zoning and will
use its best efforts to achieve zoning necessary from Maricopa County for the location and operation of a WRF. The Parties agree that the Utility Services for the Land are contingent on the use of this site as a WRF. If required to meet MAG 208
regional plan requirements, after the initial 20 acres are conveyed, and upon Coordinator’s request, Landowner shall convey to Coordinator, or HUC or Coordinator’s nominee subject to the requirements of this Agreement, excess land in the
amount of up to an additional 10 acres contiguous to the WRF site (the “Excess Land”) that is also free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and Landowner will use its best efforts to achieve zoning necessary from Maricopa
County for the location and operation of a WRF on such Excess Land. Coordinator or HUC will have an option to purchase the Excess Land from the Landowner for a period of five years from the date of signing this Agreement at a purchase price based
upon Landowner’s basis in the land at the time of execution of this Agreement plus accrued interest from the date of this Agreement. The interest rate paid will be the Prime Interest Rate as established by Wells Fargo Bank or Chase Bank as
determined by Landowner in 

  
 12 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
its reasonable discretion. Coordinator may exercise such option solely for purposes of locating and operating a WTP, WRF or Wastewater Treatment Plant on the Excess Land. If the option is
exercised for a WTP, then the unused WTP land referred to in Recital I and Section 3.6 of this Agreement not otherwise used for such purpose shall be returned to Landowner. The Parties further understand and agree that the total amount of land
provided under this subsection, including any and all setbacks shall not exceed 30 acres. Coordinator or HUC shall grant Landowner an easement to use up to two of the four sides of the 350 foot setback within such 30 acres as Landowner requests, so
long as such uses and easement are consistent with government requirements and HUC’s service obligations to its customers. Maintenance of the setback used by the Landowner is the responsibility of the Landowner. Coordinator agrees that the
acreage provide to Coordinator and HUC pursuant to this subsection is sufficient to satisfy any ADEQ or other setback requirements applicable to HUC’s wastewater treatment facilities. Coordinator also agrees that the use of the acreage by
Coordinator, WUGT and/or HUC shall be limited to facilities and structures necessary for WUGT and/or HUC to provide water, reclaimed water and wastewater services, including reclaimed water retention structures and SCADA towers not to exceed 150
feet unless otherwise consulted with the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Coordinator, WUGT and/or HUC may install only one tower per WTP, WRF and well site. Coordinator shall not allow any party other than Landowner without
Landowner’s written permission to use, any of the four sides of the 350 foot setback for a purpose that Landowner determines is inconsistent with future development plans (for example, cell phone towers, electrical towers, or other unsightly
uses, or uses likely to be a nuisance to neighboring homeowners). In consultation with Landowner, Coordinator shall make reasonable efforts to design and configure such SCADA tower to minimize disruption of development views or other impacts on the
Land. In the event Coordinator or its subsidiaries do not use the 20 acre WRF site for location and siting of a WRF to serve the Land, or in the event that Coordinator or its subsidiaries do not use the 3 acre WTP site for location and siting of a
WTP to serve the Land, or in the event that Coordinator or its subsidiaries do not use the Excess Land for location and siting of a WRF and/or WTP, then Coordinator shall reconvey such unused Land or unused portion of the Land to Landowner. 

  
 13 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 3.6      The Landowner
further agrees, within 12 months of the execution of this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible under applicable Arizona laws, and at no cost to Coordinator, to deed, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, a three
(3) acre water treatment site (“WTP”) to Coordinator or to WUGT in a location reasonably requested by Coordinator or WUGT and approved in writing by Landowner. 

3.7      In the event HUC, WUGT and/or Coordinator fail to satisfy and/or meet
any and all CC&N conditions or other regulatory requirements, the land previously deeded for the unsuccessful WRF and/or WTP shall revert to Landowner. HUC, WUGT and/or Coordinator shall deed such land back to Landowner within one month of
Landowner’s request free and clear of any and all encumbrances and/or liens on such land. Coordinator shall execute any and all documents necessary to effectuate such reversion to Landowner. 

4.        Payment Obligations. Landowner, or its assigns in title and/or
successors in title, shall pay Coordinator as an acquisition, 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 this Agreement,
at the times specified in this Agreement the total sum of $5,500.00 per EDU in the developments (the “Landowner Payment”), with any portion of this sum unpaid at the time of final plat approval for the portion of the Land affected,
or sale of the Land or a portion of the Land by Landowner, whichever occurs later, adjusted upward based on a CPI Factor as defined in this Agreement. However, if Maricopa County requires a water and/or wastewater plant to be substantially complete
prior to the issuance of a final Plat Approval requested by Landowner, and only if Landowner has issued a SWN, the unpaid portion of the Landowner Payment for the EDUs in the plat submitted by Landowner for approval must be paid no later than six
months after final Plat Approval. For ten years following execution of this Agreement, the CPI Factor 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 the wastewater CC&N application is approved for Landowner’s Land being treated as the base Index, plus two percent (2%). After
ten years following execution of this Agreement, the CPI Factor 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 

  
 14 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
the Index for the month the wastewater CC&N application is approved for Landowner’s Land being treated as the base Index. The Parties, however, further agree to renegotiate this CPI
Factor in good faith in the event that it results in a Landowner Payment in excess of related financing requirements. 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 CC&N for wastewater is approved in December 2007,
and a portion of the Landowner Payment, $500 per EDU, is due in April 2008, and the most current available Index is 187.3 and the Index for December 2007 was 182.5, the Landowner Payment per EDU would be calculated as follows: $500 x 187.3/182.5 x
1.02 = $523.41 per EDU. The CPI Factor as limited above is only applicable to that particular unpaid portion of the $5,500 per EDU base fee. The number of EDUs within the development shall be calculated as follows: (i) each single family
residential EDU included in the final Plat Approval shall constitute one (1) EDU and (ii) each net acre of commercial or industrial property included in the final Plat Approval shall constitute four point eight (4.8) EDUs. Following
the last final Plat Approval for the Land as determined by Landowner, Landowner and Coordinator shall reconcile the amount paid by Landowner pursuant to the preceding sentence with the actual portion of the Landowner Payment paid to date and
Landowner shall pay to Coordinator or Coordinator shall pay to Landowner, as the case may be, the amount necessary to reconcile such Landowner Payment. All of the portion of the Landowner Payments for water service under this Agreement are
contingent on Coordinator’s acquisition of WMC and WUGT. In the event that Coordinator is unable to acquire WMC and WUGT, the Parties agree that any payments made into an escrow account will be immediately returned to Landowner, including
accrued interest. Further, the Parties understand and agree that a complaint has been filed against Coordinator with the ACC under Docket Nos. W-01445A-06-0200, SW-20445A-06-0200, W-20446A-06-0200, W-03567A-06-2000 and SW-03575A-06-0200 alleging
that certain Infrastructure, Coordination and Finance Agreements executed by Coordinator are invalid by Arizona law. In the event that the ACC determines that Coordinator’s Infrastructure, Coordination and Finance Agreements are invalid or
against the law, the Parties hereby agree to amend this Agreement to conform to any such decision issued by the ACC and in doing so shall make best efforts to maintain the substance (including all benefits and

  
 15 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
obligations) of this Agreement in any amended or restated agreement. To be effective, an amendment or restated agreement shall require the written consent of the Parties. In the event that such
decision by the ACC materially alters the substance of the transaction between Landowner and Coordinator, and precludes Coordinator from fulfilling its obligations or materially increases the costs to Landowner under this Agreement, the Parties
agree that this Agreement may be voided and Coordinator shall refund any and all payments made under this Agreement to Landowner that are in excess of costs incurred for services or construction to date as previously approved by Landowner which such
costs shall not be more than 15% of the Landowner Payments made to date if such ACC decision occurs prior to issuance of the SWN by Landowner. Such costs reasonably incurred for services or construction to date will be made available to Landowner
for review. To the extent this Agreement is voided or amended as set forth above, Coordinator shall upon request by Landowner record any and all release documents related to this Agreement and any lien related to this Agreement with the County
Recorder in a form approved by Landowner and Coordinator shall waive any and all other claims against the Land or Landowner under this Agreement in writing, except as otherwise allowed in an amended or restated agreement. To the extent this
Agreement is voided, Coordinator shall within 90 days deed and reconvey the WTP, WRF, and all well sites received from Landowner, along with any and all land previously deeded to Coordinator from Landowner, to Landowner free and clear of any and all
encumbrances, liens and restrictions, and the Coordinator shall return or assign all water rights or extinguishment credits provided to Coordinator by Landowner pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is voided, Coordinator shall
return to Landowner within 90 days all plans, documents and other materials provided to Coordinator, WUGT or HUC by Landowner or created to design water or wastewater facilities to serve the Land. 

4.1      The following describes the timing of payments for residential EDUs of
$5,500 per EDU plus the CPI Factor, if applicable. Until a final Plat Approval is received, residential EDUs are assumed to be at 3.5 EDUs per acre. Any additional amount due for the CPI Factor for each phase or portion of the Land is paid as each
phase or portion receives final Plat Approval. 
  

	 	-	 Within 72 hours of the execution of this Agreement, the Landowner will deposit in escrow $500.00 per EDU ($4,311,000 for 8,622 EDUs). All
$500.00/EDU will be released to Coordinator contemporaneously with the close of escrow for the purchase of WMC or, if escrow has already closed, immediately upon deposit. If 

  
 16 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

	 	 
within 7 days of execution of this Agreement, Coordinator and WMC have not executed a purchase agreement for Coordinator’s acquisition of WMC, then Landowner’s $500 per EDU payment will
be returned to Landowner; 

  

	 	-	 Within 72 hours of the execution of this Agreement, Landowner will deposit in escrow $75.00 per EDU payment ($646,650 for 8,622 EDUs) for the
May 8, 2006 filing of the MAG 208 plan amendment. All $75.00/EDU will be released to Coordinator contemporaneously with the close of escrow for the purchase of WMC or, if escrow has already closed, immediately upon deposit. Landowner will remit
to Coordinator $25.00 per EDU ($215,550 for 8,622 EDUs) payment within 90 days of the execution of this Agreement, or contemporaneously with the closing of the WMC acquisition transaction, whichever is later. If within 7 days of execution of this
Agreement, Coordinator and WMC have not executed a purchase agreement for Coordinator’s acquisition of WMC, then Landowner’s $75 per EDU payment will be returned to Landowner 

 

	 	-	 Upon the filing of the application for a wastewater CC&N by HUC, or upon filing of the application for an extension of WUOT’s CC&N
by WUGT, or within 90 days of execution of this Agreement, whichever is later, Landowner will remit to Coordinator an additional $100.00 per EDU ($862,200 for 8,622 EDUs). The CC&N applications will be prepared during the diligence period of the
WMC acquisition and filed with the ACC within thirty (30) days of the closing of that transaction; 

  

	 	-	 Contemporaneously with the closing of the WMC transaction this Agreement shall be recorded in the records of the Maricopa County Recorder, and
will reference any portion of the Land over which Landowner has exercised a purchase option and is the record title holder; 

  

	 	-	 Upon the ACC’s final approval of issuance of an ACC decision granting and/or extending the CC&N of HUC to include the Land, and upon
issuance of a final ACC decision granting an extension of WUGT’s CC&N to include the Land, but no earlier than January 1, 2007, $150.00 per EDU ($1,293,300 for 8,622 EDUs) will become due and payable by the Landowner to Coordinator;

  

	 	-	 Upon the successful approval of the MAG 208 plan amendment that includes the Land, but no earlier than January 1, 2007 $150.00 per EDU
($1,293,300 for 8,622 EDUs) will be due and payable by the Landowner to Coordinator; 

  

	 	-	 Upon Landowner’s issuance of the “Start Work Notice” (“SWN”), a description of which is set forth at Exhibit C
attached hereto, the first of which shall require the commencement of construction of facilities for 2,000 EDUs, $1,000,000 will be due and payable by the Landowner to Coordinator. The SWN shall be issued at Landowner’s sole discretion.
Landowner acknowledges that Coordinator, through WUGT and HUC, shall continue to financially guarantee that WUGT and HUC have sufficient financial resources to achieve substantial completion of

  
 17 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

	 	 
the WTP and WRF, including any and all water, reclaimed water, and wastewater treatment plant, delivery facilities and lines necessary for water, reclaimed water and wastewater service to the
Land within 18 months of the issuance of the SWN. Coordinator shall be required to accept Landowner’s SWN any time after any and all necessary permits have been issued and approved for the water, reclaimed water and wastewater facilities.
Landowner represents and warrants that it will make reasonable efforts after the issuance of Landowner’s SWN to pursue and obtain a final Plat Approval for a portion of the Land as determined by Landowner in its sole discretion within 6 months
of the substantial completion of both the WTP and WRF, or Landowner will sell a portion of the Land to a buyer who will do so. Coordinator plans to pursue obtaining permits and approvals necessary to bore under Interstate 10, or otherwise locate a
pipeline below an available overpass, as this would alleviate the need to build a WRF north of Interstate 10 for a number of years. In the event the Coordinator is successful in receiving these permits and approvals, the Landowners of developments
contemplated as Copperleaf, Silver Water Ranch and Silver Spring Ranch may share the cost of the initial 2,000 EDU SWN fee based on the pro rata share of the EDUs to be initially constructed within each development. If Landowner does not participate
in the SWN filed by another landowner or developer within WUGT’s or HUC’s CC&N area, then Landowner’s first SWN payment is not due until Landowner or its successors request a SWN for the Off-Site Facilities necessary to serve the
Land. 

  

	 	-	 Depending on the amount already paid by Landowner, the balance of the Landowner Payment (the $5,500.00 per EDU including CPI Index, if
applicable) will be due and payable at the time of final Plat Approval for the number of EDUs within the plat or sale of the Land or portion of the Land by Landowner to the ultimate builder/developer as reflected in a change in record title
ownership of the Land, whichever occurs later. Coordinator understands that Landowner intends to sell the Land to other parties who will be the ultimate builders/developers of the Land. Coordinator understands that the balance of the Landowner
Payment shall not be due until Landowner sells the Land to another party as reflected in the change in record title ownership or upon final Plat Approval, whichever occurs later. As stated in Section 4 in this Agreement, if Maricopa County
requires a water and/or wastewater plant to be substantially complete prior to a final Plat Approval requested by Landowner, and only if Landowner has issued a SWN, the unpaid portion of the Landowner Payment for the EDUs within the plat submitted
by Landowner for approval must be paid no later than six months after final Plat Approval. With the amounts due for the last final plat within the Land, Coordinator will true up any discrepancy with respect to the actual number of EDUs at final Plat
Approval against EDUs estimated and sums paid pursuant to 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) of the Land. 

 Pursuant to Section 4.3, Coordinator shall arrange for
interest-earning escrow accounts 

  
 18 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
for those payments in this subsection that are to be placed in escrow, with the interest paid to Landowner if the escrow is to be returned to Landowner. Escrow interest will otherwise be credited
to reduce the outstanding balance of the Landowner Payment due to Coordinator. An example of how the Landowner Payment would be calculated for land included in the CC&N with 2,000 residential EDU’s developed in two phases of 1,000
EDU’s each is: 
  

	 	-	 $500 times 2,000 EDU’s or $1,000,000 is due in escrow within 72 hours of signing of this Agreement; 

 

	 	-	 $75 times 2,000 EDU’s or $150,000 is due to escrow within 72 hours of the signing of this Agreement for the May 8, 2006 filing of the
MAG 208 application, $25 times 2,000 EDU’s or $50,000 is due to Coordinator within 90 days from execution of this Agreement or contemporaneously with the closing of the WMC acquisition transaction, whichever is later; 

 

	 	-	 $100 times 2,000 EDU’s or $200,000 is due to Coordinator for the filing of both the application for a wastewater CC&N and the
application, if necessary, for expansion of the water CC&N, or within 90 days of the execution of this Agreement, whichever is later; 

  

	 	-	 $150 times 2,000 EDU’s or $300,000 is due to Coordinator upon issuance of a final decision by the ACC approving the CC&Ns for both WUGT
and HUC, but no earlier than January 1, 2007; 

  

	 	-	 $150 times 2,000 EDU’s or $300,000 is due to Coordinator upon EPA’s approval of the MAG 208 plan amendment, but no earlier than
January 1, 2007; 

 $500 times 2,000 EDU’s or $1,000,000 is due to Coordinator from
Landowner, or Landowner and other participating landowners as described above in subsection 4.1, upon issuance of Landowner’s SWN; 
  

	 	-	 $4,000 plus the CPI Factor times 1,000 final platted EDU’s, or $4,000,000 plus the CPI factor, is due to Coordinator at final Plat Approval
for the first phase and/or change in record title ownership, whichever occurs later. If, however, Maricopa County requires a water and/or wastewater plant to be substantially complete prior to a final Plat Approval requested by Landowner, and only
if Landowner has issued a SWN, the payment obligation of $4,000,000 plus CPI Factor must be paid no later than six months after final Plat Approval; and 

  

	 	-	 $4,000 plus the CPI Factor times 1,000 final platted EDU’s, or $4,000,000 plus the CPI factor, is due to Coordinator at the final Plat
Approval for the 

  
 19 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

	 	 
second phase and/or change in record title ownership, whichever occurs later. If, however, Maricopa County requires a water and/or wastewater plant to be substantially complete prior to a final
Plat Approval requested by Landowner, and only if Landowner has issued a SWN, the payment obligation of $4,000,000 plus CPI Factor must be paid no later than six months after final Plat Approval. 

4.2      For commercial and industrial property, the $5,500 per EDU plus the
CPI Factor, if any, at 4.8 EDU’s per acre is due to Coordinator when the County approves the “Commercial or Industrial Site Plan” and issues a building permit, which the Parties expect to occur after residential final Plat Approvals
surrounding the site, and upon satisfaction of all contingencies and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  

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

  

	 	¡	 $5,500 plus the CPI Factor x 30 acres 4.8 EDU/acre or $792,000 is due and payable when the County approves the Commercial or Industrial Site Plan
and issues a building permit. 

 The parties acknowledge that additional fees as approved by the Parties
or required and/or authorized by a governmental agency except as otherwise prohibited herein will be billed to the commercial and industrial end user based upon the ultimate use of the land and fixtures thereon. Fees payable to WUGT and HUC for
on-site facilities, pursuant to the Extension Agreements or a WUGT or HUC tariff, and reimbursement for certain costs and expenses incurred by Landowner with respect to the obtaining of on-site Utility Services from the Delivery Points to the end
user are not the subject of this Agreement and shall be paid and reimbursed to the appropriate parties in accordance with the Extension Agreements. 

4.3      Escrow Account. Within three days of execution of this
Agreement, Coordinator shall open an interest-earning escrow account with First American Title Insurance Company for the benefit of Landowner and Coordinator for purposes of accepting and disbursing any and all payments and refunds under the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The escrow agent shall be Carol Peterson (“Escrow Agent”). This Agreement shall constitute an escrow agreement and instructions to Escrow Agent and all funds deposited with Escrow Agent shall be
disbursed and dealt with by Escrow Agent in strict accordance with the following provisions and the terms of 

  
 20

water, reclaimed water and wastewater facilities constructed pursuant to this Agreement, including (i) an itemization of the facilities installed and the amount incurred for each item of the work (with appropriate invoices and backup

except to the extent a timely objection is made by the other Party. Any Party may object to disbursement of escrow funds if the Party believes in good faith that such payment is not due and if such Party delivers to Escrow Agent and all other
Parties written notice of such objection within five (5) business days of the payment request, including a specific explanation of the objection and an explanation of why the Party believes the amount in question should not be disbursed under
this Agreement. Any amount subject to an objection shall not be disbursed until the objection is resolved. Upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of an objection, the Parties shall meet within three (3) days and make good faith efforts to resolve the
objection. If the objection is not resolved completely with such three day period, then the objecting party may submit the matter to arbitration within an additional seven days and the matter shall be resolved in accordance with the arbitration
provisions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement. If the objecting party fails to submit the matter to arbitration within that time period, then the full payment request shall be deemed approved. If an objection is determined by the
arbitrator to be invalid, then the objecting party shall be responsible for any additional costs (including the reasonable attorneys fees of the prevailing party) resulting from the delay in disbursement of the escrow funds. 

5.        Use and Sizing of Water and Reclaimed Water Distribution Mains and

Landowner understands and agrees that it must use and accept reclaimed water distribution mains to the Delivery Points agreed to by Landowner and identified in Exhibit H. Each section of land will require a water storage facility or a
retention lake structure for irrigation of no less than one (1) acre developed in accordance with standards established by Coordinator in locations approved by Landowner and at Landowner’s cost. Landowner may reasonably consolidate or
divide the required water storage facility capacity and irrigation requirement in this Section in any location within the Land consistent with Landowner’s development plans. Coordinator’s responsibility is to oversee the construction of
reclaimed water distribution mains is limited to only one point of storage as contemplated on Exhibit H. 

6.        Reclaimed Water Availability. Coordinator and its subsidiaries agree
to make reclaimed water available for purchase and use within the Land approximately equal to the amount of wastewater generated within such Land. Any excess reclaimed water not purchased by Landowner or its successors within any month belongs to
the utility provider for reuse, recharge and/or discharge. 
 7.        Binding
Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or claim (a “Claim”) arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions arising
hereunder or there under that cannot be resolved by negotiation (other than actions for specific performance or any other equitable remedy) shall be settled exclusively by a binding arbitration (“Arbitration”), conducted by a single

construction, including copies of insurance certificates, riders and endorsements. 

9.        No Partnership. Coordinator is acting as an independent contractor
pursuant to 

  
 25 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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 of Landowner. 
 10.        Default.

 10.1    Landowner shall be deemed to be in material default under this Agreement
upon the expiration of thirty (30) days, as to monetary defaults, and sixty (60) 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 (thirty (30) days or sixty (60) days, as the case may be), such default has been cured. 

10.2    Coordinator shall be deemed to be in material default under this Agreement upon
the expiration of thirty (30) days written notice of the failure to fulfill its obligations hereunder to timely provide the services and to timely commence and complete construction of facilities described in this Agreement, including the
provision of Utility Services by WUGT and HUC, and the failure to fulfill its financial guarantees that WUGT will have sufficient financial resources for the provision of water utility service to the Land and that HUC will have sufficient financial
resources for the provision of reclaimed water service and wastewater utility service to the Land and any other material breach of this Agreement by Coordinator. 

10.3    In the event either party to this Agreement is in material default under this
Agreement, the provisions hereof may be enforced by any remedy permitted by law for specific performance, injunctive, or other equitable remedies in addition to any other remedy available in this Agreement, or at law or in equity. In this regard, in
the event Landowner fails to pay any amount as and when due, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.1 above, such delinquent amounts shall bear interest at the
rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date until paid. Similarly, Coordinator shall pay interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date of accrual on any damages caused

  
 26 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
Landowner or its successors by Coordinator or its subsidiaries’ material breach of this Agreement. 

10.4    In addition, to the extent such sums remain unpaid following such thirty
(30) day period, Coordinator may then and only then 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 and
that land which is the subject of such default in the manner prescribed by law for the foreclosure of realty mortgages or deeds of trust. It is the Parties’ intention that Landowner’s default as defined in this section 10 provide the only
means by which Coordinator may claim any type of lien on the Land, and the Parties agree this Agreement or services provided pursuant to it are not liens or secured interests, but this Agreement gives Coordinator the right to assert a lien right (as
set forth herein), which lien right shall be deemed perfected only upon Landowner’s material default and recording of a notice of claim of lien, which shall be retroactive as of the date of the recording of this Agreement. Landowner consents to
the recording of this Agreement with the county recorder’s office upon Coordinator’s acquisition of WMC and WUGT as set forth in Section 10.7 below. Coordinator agrees that as and when portions of the Land are sold, the obligations
hereunder shall be bifurcated based on the land area sold and each new 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 and that the current Landowner shall be fully released from any and all such obligations. In the event Coordinator defaults (following notice and an opportunity to cure as set forth herein) on
any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its financial guarantee that WUGT or HUC will have sufficient financial resources to provide water, reclaimed water and wastewater service to the Land as described herein, then Coordinator shall
record a release of this Agreement and waive any and all other claims against the Land or Landowner as set forth below. Coordinator shall execute and record such release within three (3) days of a written request from Landowner in a form
approved by Landowner. 
 10.5    Coordinator has provided to the Landowner a letter
from the Coordinator’s financial institution confirming that the Coordinator through its investor and bank 

  
 27 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
relationships has access to sufficient funds necessary to construct the water, reclaimed water and wastewater infrastructure, including the Off-Site Facilities, in order to provide the Utility
Services. Upon issuance of the SWN by Landowner, Coordinator shall place funds in an escrow account as set forth in section 4.3 equal to the one-half of the total amount of the construction costs for all water, reclaimed water and wastewater
facilities necessary to provide water, reclaimed water and wastewater service to the Land. As set forth in section 4.3, Coordinator shall be entitled to withdraw funds from such escrow account solely for purposes of paying for reasonable and
necessary construction costs. 
 10.6    Subject to the limitations in this
Section 10, amounts owed but not paid when due by Landowner under the terms of this Agreement, perfected as described in subsection 10.7 below shall be a lien against the Land for which such payment is due that the Parties agree shall then
relate back to the date upon which an executed copy of this Agreement is recorded in the Maricopa 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. 

Coordinator shall not record a Preliminary Notice of Contractual lien or other similar document until at least thirty
(30) days after notice of Landowner’s material default as provided in Section 10.1 above. 

10.7    The lien authorized in this Section 10 shall take effect only upon
recordation of a claim of contractual lien as limited herein above and as described below in the office of the Maricopa 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 subsection 10.6 above. The lien amount shall be only that amount not paid by Landowner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at the time the lien is recorded, and shall not include any
future Landowner Payment amounts. Such lien shall apply only to those portions of the Land for which any such payment is due. Coordinator acknowledges and agrees to work with the Landowner 

  
 28 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
or its successors and their lenders to facilitate financing. Coordinator shall give written notice of any such lien claim. 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(s) against whose property the lien is claimed in any
manner prescribed under Section 21 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. 

 10.8    If the Landowner (i) places
funds in the amount due Coordinator into an escrow account or posts either (ii) a bond executed by a fiscally sound corporate surety licensed to do business in the State of Arizona, or (iii) an irrevocable letter of credit from a reputable
financial institution licensed to do business in the State of Arizona, which bond or letter of credit (a) names Coordinator as the principal or payee and is in form satisfactory to Coordinator, (b) is in the amount of the claim secured by
the lien, and (c) unconditionally provides that it may be drawn on by Coordinator in the event of a final judgment entered by the arbitrator, 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 funds, bond or letter of credit by delivery of same to Coordinator, escrow or
arbitrator as determined by Landowner. All costs and expenses to obtain the bond or letter of credit, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Coordinator related thereto, shall be borne by Landowner, unless Landowner is the

  
 29 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
prevailing party in any litigation challenging the claimed lien and, in that event, all such costs shall be borne by Coordinator. 

10.9 Upon Coordinator’s material default of its obligations under this Agreement, Coordinator shall
(i) record a “full satisfaction and release” of this Agreement and any outstanding liens with the Maricopa County Recorder, (ii) shall confirm in writing the satisfaction and release of the Agreement to all other Parties at
Landowner’s request, (iii) shall within 90 days of such material default return to Landowner all Landowner Payments made to date by Landowner in excess of costs incurred to date by Coordinator as previously approved by Landowner with such
approval not being unreasonably withheld, and (iv) shall within 90 days return to Landowner all plans, documents, etc. provided to Coordinator, WUGT or HUC by Landowner or created to design water or wastewater facilities specifically to serve
the Land. In the event Coordinator materially defaults on its obligations under this Agreement, Coordinator shall refund all Landowner Payments in excess of costs incurred to date by Coordinator under this Agreement as previously approved by
Landowner with such approval not being unreasonably withheld. In that event, any and all amounts remaining in the escrow account provided under section 10.5 shall be released immediately to Landowner as partial or full payment of such refund
obligation. The refund obligation shall be limited to the total amount of Landowner Payments made under this Agreement plus accrued interest with the remaining balance of the escrow including accrued interest to Coordinator. In the event Coordinator
materially defaults on its obligations under this Agreement, Coordinator shall assign to Landowner all water rights, interests and extinguishment credits resulting from the Land or obtained from the Landowner. In the event of a default by
Coordinator, Landowner reserves the right to pursue any and all legal rights, damages, and remedies against Coordinator for such default. All land deeded by Landowner to Coordinator shall be reconveyed by Coordinator to Landowner as provided
elsewhere in this Agreement. 
 11.        Non Issuance of Water and Wastewater
CC&N Expansion. In the event that Coordinator or HUC through best efforts are unable to obtain all of the necessary approvals from the ACC, MCESD and ADEQ within twenty-four (24) months of the execution of this Agreement with respect to the
water, reclaimed water and wastewater services provided for 

  
 30 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
herein, then the Landowner or Coordinator at either party’s option may terminate the portions of this Agreement as it relates to reclaimed water and wastewater services without recourse to
either party. In the event of termination of the wastewater portion of this Agreement and excluding the CPI Factor, Coordinator shall remove or cause to be removed any registration and/or recordation of this Agreement with Maricopa County as
reasonably requested by Landowner and waive any lien rights it may have under this Agreement for $3,000 per EDU of the $5,500 per EDU contemplated in this Agreement for reclaimed water and wastewater services. The Parties agree to execute necessary
amendments to this Agreement in the event of termination of the wastewater portion of this Agreement. In that event, Landowner’s payment obligations under section 4.1 above shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction of the $5,500 per EDU
payment under section 4.1 above to $2,500 per EDU for water service, which includes Landowner’s $500 per EDU payment noted below. For example, upon issuance of the SWN for 2,000 EDUs, Landowner’s payment obligations will be reduced to $225
times 2,000 EDUs or $450,000 upon issuance of the SWN. Further, in the event that the ACC, ADEQ and/or Maricopa County issues any ruling or decision denying HUC any necessary regulatory approvals to provide wastewater service to the Land, and
provided that such decision or ruling is not as a result of the actions, conduct, or inactions of Coordinator and its related entities, Coordinator shall be entitled to retain $500/EDU of the payments made under section 4.1 as of such date for water
service on the condition that WUGT has obtained a final order from the ACC approving the CC&N extension to include all of the Land, and Coordinator shall refund any and all remaining amounts of Landowner Payments made to date under 4.1 to
Landowner within ten days of such final decision or ruling and transfer and assign any and all plans, studies, etc. to Landowner. If the Landowner Payment has been adjusted pursuant to the CPI Factor described in section 4 above, then the adjustment
shall be applied pro-rata to the water and wastewater services allocations in this Section. 
 In the event that
Coordinator or WUGT are unable to obtain ACC approval for extension of WUGT’s CC&N to include all of the Land or other necessary governmental approvals within 24 months for provision of water service to the Land, then Coordinator shall
remove or cause to be removed any registration and/or recordation of this Agreement with Maricopa County affecting those portions of the Land as reasonably requested by Landowner and waive any lien rights it may have under this Agreement for water
services. The Parties agree to execute 

  
 31 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
necessary amendments to this Agreement in the event of non-issuance of the CC&N extension for water service to the Land. In the event that the ACC, ADEQ and/or Maricopa County issues any
ruling or decision denying WUGT any necessary regulatory approvals to provide water service to any portions of the Land, and provided that such decision or ruling is not as a result of the actions, conduct, or inactions of Coordinator and its
related entities, Coordinator shall be entitled to retain a proportional share of $500/EDU of the payments made under section 4.1 equal to that proportion of the Land included within WUGT’s CC&N and that portion of the Land for which WUGT
is authorized to provide water service, and Coordinator shall refund any and all remaining amounts of Landowner Payments made to date under 4.1 to Landowner within ten days of such final decision or ruling and transfer and assign any and all plans,
studies, etc. to Landowner. If the Landowner Payment has been adjusted pursuant to the CPI Factor described in section 4 above, then the adjustment shall be applied pro-rata to the water and wastewater services allocations in this Section. 

12.        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 reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in litigating, arbitrating, or otherwise resolving such dispute. The
Parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive the closing under this Agreement. 

13.        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. Acts of the parties hereto shall be excused during the period of intervening acts of God or other force majeure events not
attributable to the nonperforming Party. 
 14.        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 

  
 32 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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. 

15.        Most Favored Nation. Coordinator agrees that for the CC&N
expansion and CC&N extension contemplated to commence in the July 2006 timeframe in the area West of the Hassayampa River, that if the Coordinator enters into an Infrastructure Coordination Finance and Option Agreement or an agreement with
similar terms with another landowner that lies within the CC&N area of WUGT and HUC as extended (with the exception of Belmont), the Coordinator will not provide pricing, terms, or conditions more favorable to that landowner than provided herein
to the Landowner, unless Coordinator amends 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. 
 16.        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. 
 17.        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. 

18.        Additional Instruments. The Parties hereto agree to execute,
acknowledge, 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 Agreement. 

19.        Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be
severable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 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.

WATER FACILITIES EXTENSION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is made this              day of
                            , 2005 by and between WATER UTILITY OF GREATER TONOPAH an Arizona
corporation (“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, multi-family or commercial) lots, in Maricopa County within the general vicinity of the City of                 , 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”), and the Company shall be responsible for extending service to the Delivery Points identified in Exhibit “B” hereto, and Company requires no further payment
from Developer for Off-Site Facilities. 
 B.        Company is a public service
corporation as defined in Article XV, Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution which owns and operates a sewage treatment plant and collection system and holds a CC&N from the Commission granting Company the exclusive right to provide sewer
utility service within portions of Maricopa County, Arizona. 

C.        Developer is willing to construct and install facilities within the
Development necessary to extend sewer utility service within the Development which facilities shall connect to the Company’s system as generally shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
“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 On-Site 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” (the “Delivery Points”) 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. Company
shall be responsible for payment, financing, construction 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
and design of any and all Off-Site Facilities without any additional compensation from Developer. Under this Agreement, “Off-Site Facilities” means those water and reclaimed water
facilities to be constructed by Company or its affiliates under this Agreement, including all water, reclaimed water, and treatment, transmission, storage, pumping, and delivery facilities constructed either off the Land or on the Land to the
Delivery Points as defined and agreed by the Parties. 

2.        Construction Standards and Requirements. The Facilities
shall meet and comply with Company’s reasonable 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 with such approval not be unreasonably withheld. 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 ACC, and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction there over. 

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

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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. 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 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 reasonable 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

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
(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 reasonably requested by Company in writing from time-to-time, to reimburse Company for any additional Administrative Costs it incurs. In no event shall such
Administrative Costs exceed 10.0% of the cost of the Facilities. 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, 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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 there over, 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, and if no reasonable alternative
business arrangement then exists to avoid such tax effect, 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)

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
days following notification to Developer that a determination has been made that any such advances constitute taxable income, and such tax funds are then due and payable, 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:

SEWER FACILITIES EXTENSION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is made this              day of
                            , 2005 by and between HASSAYAMPA UTILITY COMPANY, an Arizona corporation
(“Company”),                                     ,
an                                     
(“Developer”). 
 RECITALS: 

A.        Developer desires that sewer utility service be extended to and for its
real estate development located in Parcel          of
                         consisting of          (single family,
multi-family or commercial) lots, in Maricopa 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”), the Company has shall be responsible for extending service to the Delivery Points identified in Exhibit
“B” hereto, and the Company requires no further payment from Developer for Off-Site Facilities. 

B.        Company is a public service corporation as defined in Article XV,
Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution which owns and operates a sewage treatment plant and collection system and holds a CC&N from the Commission granting Company the exclusive right to provide sewer utility service within portions of
Maricopa County, Arizona. 
 C.        Developer is willing to construct and
install facilities within the Development necessary to extend sewer utility service within the Development which facilities shall connect to the Company’s system as generally shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the
“Delivery Points”). Company is willing to provide sewer utility service to the 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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: 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 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 On-Site 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” (the “Delivery Points”), 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. Company shall be responsible for payment, financing,
construction and design of any and all Off-Site Facilities without any additional compensation from Developer. Under this Agreement, “Off-Site Facilities” means those wastewater facilities to be constructed by Company or its affiliates
under this Agreement, including all wastewater plant, production, treatment, transmission, storage, pumping, and delivery facilities constructed either off the Land or on the Land to the Delivery Points as defined and agreed by the Parties. 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 2.        Construction
Standards and Requirements. The Facilities shall meet and comply with Company’s reasonable 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 with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 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 ACC, and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction there over. 

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 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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 reasonable 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 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
reasonably 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

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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 there over, 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, and if no reasonable alternative
business arrangement then exists to avoid such tax effect, 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, and such tax funds are then due and payable, 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 

 20060939440 

     

     
  

 
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:
