California Enyirowuental Proteetwn ') 1,1 7/pi-7 _ Mr. I leadrick - - Due to circumstances outside the scope of the Project, the SWRCB is not authorizing preliminary SRI' loan commitments at this time. However, in order to proceed with the Project, the Division will request the SWRCB to authorize a WRCP grant commitment at the February 2002 Board meetinu. When the SWRCB resumes authorizing SRF loan commitments, the Division will request the SWRCB to authorize a loan commitment for the remaining eligible portion of the Project. This letter does riot constitute an offer for a WRCP grant or an SRF Loan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project includes the construction of advanced wastewater treatment facilities at the existing wastewater treatment plant and the installation of a recycled water pipeline to a power generating facility. The proposed project will augment State and local water supplies by producing approximately five million gallons per day (MGD)(5600 acre-feet/year) of recycled water. The Project will also help achieve local watershed goals by reducing the amount of salts returned to the local groundwater basin. The City owns and operates the wastewater treatment facility that is to be upgraded. The facility was originally built in 1960. Through upgrades, the facility's capacity is 9.5 MCD. The plant currently receives an average dry weather flow of 6.5 MGD. The existing treatment processes include primary and secondary clarification, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and disinfection of the secondary effluent. Secondary effluent is currently discharged to percolation ponds approximately one half mile from the plant. In order to provide recycled water to the nearby power plant, a tertiary treatment process will be added to the existing facilities. The higher quality effluent will meet all Title 22 discharge requirements. As a result of negotiations between the City and the Mountain Valley Power Authority (MVPA), tertiary treatment will be provided by micro-filtration instead of sand filtration, eliminating the need for the power plant to additionally treat the recycled water prior to its use. In return, the MVPA will give the City a credit for the quantity of salts deferred from the basin groundwater through its use of recycled water. PROJECT ELIGIBILITY 1.

GOVERNMENTAL UNIT. The Agency is a state or local governmental unit as defined in Section 1.103-1 of the Treasury Regulations or an instrumentality thereof(a "Governmental Unit") and is not the federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof. The Agency exclusively owns and, except as provided in Section 7 hereof, operates the Project. SECTION 2. TEMPORARY PERIOD. The Agency reasonably expects that at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Project Funds will be allocated to expenditures for the Project within three years of the earlier of the effective date of this Agreement or the date the Bonds are issued ( Applicable Date'). The Agency has incurred, or reasonably expects that it will incur within six months of the Applicable Date, a substantial binding obligation (i.e., not subject to contingencies within the control of the Agency or a related party) to a third party to expend at least five percent(5%) of the Project Funds on the costs of the Project. The completion of acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Project and the allocation of Project Funds to expenditures for the Pject will proceed with due diligence. SECTION 3. WORKING CAPITAL. No operational expenditures of the Agency or any related entity are being, have been or will be financed or refinanced with Project Funds. SECTION 4. EXPENDITURE OF PROCEEDS. Project Funds shall be used exclusively for the following purposes: (i) architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs paid with respect to the Project incurred prior to the commencement of construction and in an aggregate amount not exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the Project Funds, (ii) capital expenditures relating to the Project originally paid by the Agency on or after the date hereof, (iii) interest on the Obligation through the later of three years after the Applicable Date or one year after the Project is placed in service, and (iv) initial operating expenses directly associated with the Project in the aggregate amount not more than five percent (5%) of the Project Funds. SECTION 5. PRIVATE USE AND PRIVATE PAYMENTS. None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used in the aggregate for any activities that constitute a Private Use (as defined below). None of the principal of or interest with respect to the Installment Payments will be secured by any interest in property (whether or not the Project) used for a Private Use or in payments in respect of property used for a Private Use, or will be derived from payments in respect of property used for a Private Use. "Private Use" means any activity that constitutes a trade or business that is carried on by persons or entities, other than a Governmental Unit. The leasing of the Project or the access by or the use of a person or entity other than a Governmental Unit on a basis other than as a member of the general public shall constitute a Private Use. SECTION 6. NO DISPROPORTIONATE OR UNRELATED USE. None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used for a Private Use that is unrelated or disproportionate to the governmental use of the Prolect Funds. City of Redlands Agreement No.: 01-821-550-0 ISA No.: C-O8-4BOO'11O Page 2 of 5 EXHIBIT K—TAX COVENANTS SECTION 7. MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE CONTRACTS. VVith respect to management and service contracts, the determination of whether a particular use constitutes Private Use shall be determined on the basis of applying Section 1.141-3(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13 and other applicable rules and regulations. As of the date hereof, none of the Project Funds or the Project are being used to provide property subject to contracts or other arrangements with persons or entities engaged in a trade or business (other than Governmental Units) that involve the management of property or the provision of services that do not comply with the standards of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13. Except to the extent the Agency has received an opinion of counsel expert in the issuance of state and local government bonds the interest on which is excluded from gross income under Section 103 of the Code ("Nationally-Recognized Bond Counsel") and satisfactory to the SWRCB and the Bank to the contrary, the Agency will not enter into any management or service contracts with any person or entity that is not a Governmental Unit for services to be provided with respect to the Projectsxoeptm/ithreopeotto contracts where the following requirements are complied with: (i) the compensation is reasonable for the services rendered; (ii) the compensation is not based, in whole or in part, on a share of net profits from the operation of the Pject; (iii) not more than twenty percent(20%) of the voting power of the Agency in the aggregate may be vested in the service provider and its directors, officers, shareholders and employees and vice versa; (iv) any overlapping board members between the Agency and the service provider must not include the chief executive officer or executive director of either, or their respective governing bodies; and (v): (A) At least ninety-five percent(95%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee which is a stated dollar amount for services rendered for a specified period of time. The stated dollar amount may automatically increase according to a specified objective external standard that is not linked tothe output oreffioiennyofafacility, e.&[. the Consumer Price Index and similar external indices that track increases in prices in an area or increases in revenues or costs in an industry are objective external standards. A fee shall not fail to qualify as a periodic fixed fee as a result of a one-time incentive award during the term of the contract under which compensation automatically increases when a gross revenue or expense target (but not both) is reached if that award is a single stated dollar amount. The term of the oontnaot, including all renewal opdons, must not exceed the lesser of eighty percent(8096) of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and fifteen (15) years (twenty (20) years for''public utility property"within the meaning of Section 168(i)(10) of the Code); (B) At least eighty percent (80%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee, The term of the contract, including all renewal opdons, must not exceed the lesser of eighty percent(8096) of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and ten (10) years. A one-time incentive award during the term of the contract similar to the award described in subsection (A) above is permitted under this option as well; (C) At least fifty percent (50%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee or all of the compensation for services is based on a capitation fee or combination of a periodic fixed fee and a capitation fee. A capitation fee is a fixed periodic amount for each person for whom the service provider or the Agency assumes the responsibility to provide all needed services ` . City of Redlands Agreement No.: 01-821-550-0 ISA No: C'OO-48OO'11O Page 3 of 5 EXHIBIT K-TAX COVENANTS for a specified period so long as the quantity and type of services actually provided to covered persons vary substantially; e.g.. a fixed dollar amount payable per month to a service provider for each member of a plan for whom the provider agrees to provide all needed services for a specified period. A capitation fee may include a variable component of up to twenty percent (2096) of the total capitation fee designed to protect the service provider against risks such as catastrophic loss. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed five (5) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the third year of the contract; (D) All of the compensation for services is based on a per-unit fee or a combination of a per- unit fee and a periodic fee. er-unitfeeandopehodiufae. A per-unit fee is defined to mean a fee based on a unit of service provided as specified in the contract or otherwise specifically determined by an independent third porty, such as the administrator of the program or the Agency; e.g., a stated dollar amount for each specified procedure performed, car parked or passenger mile is a per-unit fee. The term of the contnact, including all renewal npbons, must not exceed three (3) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at the end of the second year of the contract term; or (E) All of the compensation for services is based on a percentage of fees charged or a combination of a per-unit fee and a percentage of revenue or expense fee. During the start up pehnd, hmmever, compensation may be based on a percentage of either gross revenues, adjusted gross revenues or expenses of a facility. The term of the contract, including renewal options, must not exceed two (2) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the first year. This type of contract is permissible only with respect to contracts under which the service provider primarily provides services to third parties, and management contracts involving a facility during an initial start-up period for which there have been insufficient operations to establish a reasonable estimate of the amount of the annual gross revenues and expenses (e.g. a contract for general management services for the first year of the operations). If the compensation terms of a management or service contract are materially nevined, the requirements for compensation terms must be retested as of the date of the material revision and the management or service contract is treated as one that was newly entered into as of the date of the material revision, A renewal option, for purposes of the foregoing, is defined to mean a provision under which the service provider has a legally enforceable riaht to renew the contract. Thus, for example, a provision under which a contract is automatically renewed for one year periods absent cancellation by either party is not a renewal option, even if it is expected to be renewed, A cancellation penalty is defined to include a limitation on the Agency's ability to compete with the service provider, a requirement that the Agency purchase equipment, goods or services from the service provider. and a requirement that the Adency pay liquidated damages for cancellation of the contract: in oomparisun, a requirement effective on cancellation that the Agency reimburse the service provider for ordinary and necessary expenses or a restriction against the Agency hinno key personnel of the service provider is generally not a contract termination penaltyAnother contract between the service City of Redlands Agreement No.: 01'821'550'0 ISA No.: C'06-4800'110 Page 4 of 5 EXHIBIT K-TAX COVENANTS provider and the Agency, such as an Installment Sales Agreement or guarantee by the service provider, is treated as creating a contract termination penalty if that contract contains terms that are not customary or arm's length, that could operate to prevent the Agency from terminating the contract (e.g., provisions under which the contract terminates if the management contract is terminated or that places substantial restrictions on the selection of a substitute service provider). The service provider must not have any role or relationship with the Agency, that, in effect, substantially limits the Agency's ability to exercise its righb;, including cancellation hghbs, under the contoact, based on all the facts and circumstances. SECTION 8. NO DISPOSITION OF FINANCED PROPERTY. The Agency does not expect to sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Project, in whole or in part, prior to the final maturity date of the Obligation. SECTION 9. USEFUL LIFE OF PROJECT The economic useful life of the Project is at least 20 years from the ProjecCompletion. SECTION 10. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS.
