the Property. The responsibilities for the construction,
operation, and maintenance and the ownership and/or transfer of
ownership, for different water facilities are set out in Article
3 below.
(b) Water service to the Property hereunder shall be governed
by and subject to RANGEVIEW's Rules and Regulations (providing
inter alia for rates, fees and charges), as now or hereafter
constituted, and to the laws, ordinances and regulations of all
federal, state and local governmental entities and agencies
having jurisdiction. COUNTY has read the Rules and Regulations
as currently in effect, and understands that RANGEVIEW may amend
the Rules and Regulations from time to time in its discretion.
The Rules and Regulations shall be deemed an integral part of
this Agreement and, subject to the right of RANGEVIEW to amend
the same, are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Water service to the Property hereunder is also subject to
the Lease and the Export Water Deed. If any provision of this
Agreement creates or causes a breach or violation of the Lease
or of the Export Water Deed, the parties shall work together to
revise such provision so that it no longer causes such breach or
violation.
(d) The Rules and Regulations establish the use of EQRs for
determining the impact of different customers on the Water
Facilities and for assessing rates and charges. The current
basis of allocating 0.4 acre-feet per year of water per EQR, as
established in the Rules and Regulations, shall not be changed
for purposes of the Fairgrounds during the term of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of COUNTY, except
that COUNTY'S consent shall not be required in the event that
development of the Property is not substantially consistent with
the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds Plan, Arapahoe County Case
Number L05-004.
(e) PURECYCLE shall cause the Water Facilities to be designed
to comply with applicable requirements of the federal Safe
Drinking Water Act or such other similar or successor laws (the
"Safe Drinking Water Act") in effect at the time the Water
Facilities are constructed. In addition, PURECYCLE shall
operate and maintain the Water Facilities, and to the extent
necessary, modify or upgrade the Water Facilities, such that the
water provided through the potable Water Facilities complies
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
2.2 Unified Systems. Facilities to be constructed to serve the
Property are components of a larger water system planned and
operated by RANGEVIEW AND PURECYCLE. The systems shall be
available for use by all RANGEVIEW AND PURECYCLE customers in
accordance with sound municipal water system engineering,

acknowledge that the design, construction and operation of the
Water Facilities require permits and approvals from regulatory
entities including the State of Colorado, Arapahoe County, Tri-
County Health Department, Xxxxxxxxxx Fire Protection District,
and others. The parties hereto shall cooperatively and
diligently pursue obtaining said regulatory approvals in such a
manner that water services contemplated by this Agreement can be
provided in a timely manner to meet the needs of COUNTY.
RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE will be primarily responsible for
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals for the design,
construction and operation of water facilities necessary to
furnish the services contemplated by this Agreement. The
granting of such regulatory permits and approvals is typically
beyond the direct control of the parties to this Agreement. In
the event that any notice is received from a regulatory agency
of a potential delay or denial in the issuance of a necessary
permit or approval, the parties shall mutually cooperate to
determine solutions to lessen the impact of such delay or
denial.
ARTICLE 3
WATER FACILITIES
3.1 Classification of Water Facilities. For the purposes of
this Agreement, Water Facilities are segregated into four
categories: Wholesale, Retail, Customer, and Special.
(a) Wholesale Facilities. Wholesale Facilities consist of
water xxxxx, well water collection pipelines, water
treatment plants, water storage tanks, water storage
reservoirs, major water pumping stations, water
transmission pipelines, and related appurtenances, all
except as may otherwise be identified as Retail Facilities,
Special Facilities, or Customer Facilities below. As
between COUNTY and PURECYCLE, PURECYCLE shall own the
Wholesale Facilities, but nothing in this provision shall
be interpreted to alter, amend or abrogate agreements
between PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW with respect to ownership
and operation of Water Facilities used or useful to serve
the Property. PURECYCLE shall have direct responsibility
for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of
the Wholesale Facilities in accordance with all state and
local governmental requirements.
(b) Retail Facilities. Retail Facilities shall be the
water distribution system to transport potable and
irrigation water from connection points with the Wholesale
Facilities to all areas of use on the Property. Retail
Facilities include, and are limited to, water distribution
pipelines ("Water Mains"), valves, fire hydrants, and other
appurtenances related to such distribution system. All
Water Mains located on or adjacent to the Property shall be
considered Retail Facilities. COUNTY shall be responsible
for the design and construction of the Retail Facilities in
accordance with the minimum design standards and other
provisions contained in the Rules and Regulations. COUNTY
shall be solely responsible for all costs for the design
and construction of the Retail Facilities independent from
any fees, rates and charges assessed by RANGEVIEW or
PURECYCLE. Upon completion of construction, and prior to
being placed into operation, COUNTY shall dedicate and
transfer title to all Retail Facilities to PURECYCLE in
accordance with Article 5 of the Rules and Regulations.
PURECYCLE's obligations for operation and maintenance of
the Retail Facilities shall commence upon its "conditional
acceptance" of the Retail Facilities. PURECYCLE's
obligations for repair or replacement of defective work of
the Retail Facilities shall commence upon its "final
acceptance" of the Retail Facilities. The terms
"conditional acceptance" and "final acceptance" shall have
the meanings provided for in Article 5 of the Rules and
Regulations.
(c) Customer Facilities. Customer Facilities consist of
water service pipelines, piping, meters, plumbing, and
related appurtenances used to convey water from a Water
Main to an individual Customer, including the physical
connection of a service line to a Water Main. The dividing
point between the Water Main and the Customer Facilities is
the downstream end of the Corporation Stop. Customer
Facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the
requirements contained in the Rules and Regulations and
with applicable building codes.
(d) Special Facilities. Special Facilities are specified
facilities required to provide water service to the
Property but which are not considered Wholesale Facilities,
Retail Facilities, or Customer Facilities. Special
Facilities anticipated to serve the Property consist of,
and are limited to, the following:
(i) Special Facility "A" includes a 250,000 gallon (or
larger) elevated storage tank with 12-inch (or larger)
transmission line connecting to the "Retail"
distribution system for the Fairgrounds at the edge of
the tank site. Alternatively, in the event that
PURECYCLE determines that it is unfeasible to
construct and place into service an elevated storage
tank within the time available to make water service
available, PURECYCLE may elect to build an at-grade
storage tank and high service pump station as Special
Facility "A".
(ii) Special Facility "B" is the Offsite Water Transmission
Pipeline that will transport Export Water to the
Property. Said pipeline is to consist of an 8-inch
(or larger) water transmission pipeline and
appurtenances located outside of and not directly
abutting the Property.
PURECYCLE shall own and shall assume responsibilities for
the planning, design, construction, operation and
maintenance of the special facilities. COUNTY shall fund
the construction of the Special Facilities as provided for
in Section 4.3 below. COUNTY shall cooperate with
RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE in obtaining rights-of-way outside
of the Xxxxx Range boundaries as may be necessary for
construction of the Special Facilities. Based on current
plans for the Fairgrounds, which are to have a yearly water
demand of 70 acre feet per year or less at build out, it is
anticipated that no additional Special Facilities will be
required for future construction at the Fairgrounds.
3.2 Public Rights of Way. COUNTY shall grant to PURECYCLE, at
no charge to PURECYCLE, the right to locate Water Facilities in
public rights of way controlled by COUNTY, and in easements on
other property owned by COUNTY, as reasonably required by
PURECYCLE to fulfill its service obligations hereunder. COUNTY
shall assist PURECYCLE, as co-applicant, with obtaining other
easements or rights to use the public rights-of-way of the City
of Aurora for the Water Facilities. In addition to the
aforementioned easements for the Water Facilities to be located
on the Property, COUNTY shall work with PURECYCLE to designate
adequate adjacent areas for the Water Facilities contractor to
use during construction for staging and storage.
3.3 Design and Construction of Wholesale and Special
Facilities. RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE shall use all reasonable
efforts to cause the Wholesale Facilities and Special
Facilities, having sufficient capacity to meet the water service
demands anticipated for the initial phase Fairgrounds, to be
permitted, designed, acquired, constructed, installed and made
ready to be placed into service within twelve (12) months
following the Effective Date of this Agreement, based upon the
schedule and terms set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein RANGEVIEW's and PURECYCLE's
obligations are contingent on the timely payment of fees, rates
and charges and on the timely execution of other obligations by
COUNTY as identified in this Agreement. PURECYCLE shall design
the Wholesale Facilities and Special Facilities to meet demands
at the initial phase Fairgrounds up to, but not exceeding, those
listed below:
i) Total annual water demand of 15.4 acre feet per year
ii) Peak day water demands of 100,000 gallons per day
iii) Maximum instantaneous demand, including irrigation and
fire protection, of 2,250 gallons per minute
ARTICLE 4
RATES AND CHARGES; FUNDING; REIMBURSEMENTS; ROYALTIES
4.1 General. RANGEVIEW establishes and from time to time may
amend its rates, fees and charges for water service provided by
it. For information purposes, the rates, fees and charges for
water service in effect as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement are shown in Exhibit B. For the water service
furnished pursuant to this Agreement, PURECYCLE agrees to
accept, and COUNTY agrees to pay to PURECYCLE, the rates, fees
and charges as established from time to time by RANGEVIEW for
water service and set forth in its Rules and Regulations. The
Water System Development Charges, user charges, service charges,
and any other rates, fees, tolls, and charges for water service
to the Property, except for the funding of the Special
Facilities as described in Section 4.3 below, shall be subject
to Section 8.2 of the Lease.
4.2 Water System Development Charges. Using the EQR
methodology established in the Rules and Regulations, wherein
one EQR is allowed an annual demand of 0.4 af/y, 38.5 EQR are
assigned for the initial phase Fairgrounds. COUNTY shall
purchase Water Taps from PURECYCLE for 38.5 EQR. Using the
Water System Development Charge of $14,740 per EQR, the total
Water System Development Charges for the initial phase
Fairgrounds is $567,490. Taking this amount less the
groundwater dedication credit of $52,938 (pursuant to Section
5.2 below) results in $514,552 being due for the Water System
Development Charges. Payment by COUNTY to PURECYCLE shall be
due within 30 days following this Agreement's Effective Date.
4.3 Funding of Special Facilities. COUNTY shall fund Special
Facilities "A" and "B", as described in Section 3.1(d) above, by
selling groundwater to PURECYCLE pursuant to Section 5.3 below,
by making an initial cash payment, and by making monthly capital
facilities surcharge payments. The amounts and timing of the
groundwater purchase, initial cash payment and monthly capital
facilities surcharge payments shall be pursuant to Exhibit C
hereto.
4.4 COUNTY Reimbursement. Reimbursement opportunities, as
provided for in Section 5.13 of the Rules and Regulations, shall
be available to the COUNTY for the water transmission pipeline,
identified as Special Facility "B" in Section 3.1(d)(ii)
above. PURECYCLE hereby agrees to maintain, on behalf of
COUNTY, records identifying the construction costs for the
subject transmission pipeline and other information required for
the Reimbursement Plan as described at Section 5.13.b of the
Rules and Regulations. PURECYCLE hereby waives the deposit
required of the applicant (i.e., COUNTY) as provided for at
Section 5.13.b.iv of the Rules and Regulations. COUNTY's rights
to reimbursement under this Section 4.4 shall terminate ten
years following the date of conditional acceptance of the
subject water transmission pipeline. PURECYCLE shall be solely
obligated for any reimbursement payments due to COUNTY pursuant
to this Section 4.4.
4.5 Royalties. Section 7.2 of the Lease establishes that the
Land Board is entitled to receive a royalty payment for net
revenue derived from the provision of water service using Export
Water. PURECYCLE shall be responsible for the payment of
royalties due the Land Board, except that COUNTY shall be
responsible for these royalty payments in the event that COUNTY
assumes control of the Water Facilities pursuant to Section 10.2
below.
ARTICLE 5
GROUNDWATER DEDICATION AND PURCHASE
5.1 General. COUNTY is pursuing obtaining a modified decree
for the groundwater underlying the Property and adjoining
property previously sold by COUNTY to the Cherry Creek School
District. It is anticipated that the modified decree will
result in the adjudication of 99 acre feet per year (af/y) of
nontributary groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills formation
and 264 af/y of not-nontributary groundwater from the Denver
formation underlying COUNTY'S Property. It is noted that the
existing decree, 84CW034, and the Order in Xxxx Xx. 0000XX0000,
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx for the groundwater described in
this Section 5.1 provide for significantly lower amounts (i.e.,
52 af/y from the Denver formation and 72 af/y from the Laramie-
Fox Hills formation) than are anticipated should COUNTY be
successful in obtaining a modified decree.
5.2 Groundwater Dedication Credits. In accordance with Section
11.8.j.ii) of the Rules and Regulations, a Groundwater
Dedication Credit of $1,375 per EQR is allowed for nontributary
groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills formation and 0.7 af/y of
groundwater is to be dedicated for each EQR. The amount of the
Groundwater Dedication Credit for the 38.5 EQR for the initial
phase Fairgrounds is $52,938; and this amount shall be applied
towards the Water System Development Charges pursuant to Section
4.2 above. Within thirty days of the Effective Date, COUNTY
shall acquire, transfer and convey to PURECYCLE of good and
merchantable title without encumbrances for the 26.95 af/y
(i.e., 38.5 * 0.7) of groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills
formations by a conveyance in the general form of the "Water
Rights Special Warranty Deed" attached as Exhibit D.
5.3 Groundwater Purchase. PURECYCLE shall purchase the
groundwater described in Section 5.1 above, less that amount
applied for Groundwater Dedication Credits pursuant to Section
5.2 above, for $1,500 per af/y of decreed allowable annual
withdrawal of nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills formation water,
and $500 per af/y of decreed allowable annual withdrawal of not-
nontributary Denver formation water. Taking into account the
26.95 af/y of groundwater dedicated pursuant to Section 5.2
above, the estimated groundwater purchase price for the
remaining 72.05 af/y of Laramie-Fox Hills groundwater is
$108,075. Additionally, the estimated groundwater purchase
price for the 264 af/y of Denver formation not nontributary
groundwater is $132,000 for a combined groundwater purchase of
$240,075. The groundwater purchase price shall be calculated
using the final amounts of groundwater adjudicated to the COUNTY
and conveyed by COUNTY to PURECYCLE, with said conveyance of
good and merchantable title without encumbrances being by means
of a "Water Rights Special Warranty Deed" in the general form of
Exhibit D hereto. COUNTY shall affect conveyance as soon as
practical following the adjudication of the modified decree
referenced in Paragraph 5.1 above, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days following said adjudication or denial of said
application to modify the decree in Case No. 84CW034. The
groundwater purchase price shall be applied towards COUNTY's
funding of the Special Facilities, pursuant to Section 4.3 above
and Exhibit C hereto, upon conveyance by COUNTY and acceptance
by PURECYCLE.
5.4 Wellfield Sites. In accordance with Section 11.9 of the
Rules and Regulations, COUNTY shall provide PURECYCLE with
suitable easements and rights of access reasonably required by
PURECYCLE to develop and utilize the groundwater. PURECYCLE
shall work with the COUNTY to select suitable wellfield sites
that do not unreasonably interfere with COUNTY's proposed
fairground facilities or COUNTY's use of the Property.
ARTICLE 6
DOMESTIC WASTEWATER FACILITIES
6.1 Wastewater Service. COUNTY plans to provide wastewater
services for the Fairgrounds, without involvement of RANGEVIEW
or PURECYCLE, by means of a septic tank and xxxxx field
wastewater treatment system and vault storage tanks.
6.2 Dominion Over Water. PURECYCLE will maintain ownership
and dominion over all treated wastewater after consumptive use
treatment losses. PURECYCLE intends to claim and use the
treated wastewater for augmentation, exchange and other purposes
until extinction. COUNTY shall assist PURECYCLE with
quantifying the wastewater disposed of via their subsurface
xxxxx fields.
6.3 Treatment of Septic and Vault Wastes. RANGEVIEW and
PURECYCLE shall negotiate in good faith with COUNTY to accept
for treatment wastes from the Fairgrounds septic tanks and
vaults at the existing Coal Creek wastewater treatment plant at
rates favorable to those of other third party vendors in the
region.
6.4 Future Wastewater Facilities. In the event that RANGEVIEW
and PURECYCLE construct wastewater facilities in closer
proximity to the Property, RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE will notify
the COUNTY regarding the proximity of wastewater service and the
parties shall seek to develop wastewater service to the Property
based on the Rules and Regulations outstanding at such time.
ARTICLE 7
OPERATIONS
7.1 Unauthorized Taps. If COUNTY knows of any unreported
connections to the System and fails to report those to the
PURECYCLE, it shall be fully liable to PURECYCLE for payment of
all charges thereon.
7.2 Enforcement Rights. COUNTY recognizes PURECYCLE's right to
enforce the Rules and Regulations and the terms of this
Agreement by interrupting or suspending water service for the
premises of those who violate the same. COUNTY will not
interfere with PURECYCLE in the enforcement of the Rules and
Regulations or this Agreement. COUNTY shall not restore any
service connection after the same has been interrupted or
suspended by PURECYCLE in the course of enforcing its Rules and
Regulations or the terms of this Agreement, except upon written
authority of PURECYCLE. PURECYCLE shall provide oral or written
notice to COUNTY prior to interrupting or suspending any service
connection, except when disconnection is made solely for reason
of delinquency in payment for charges or to prevent an immediate
threat to public health or safety.
7.3 Hazardous Services. PURECYCLE reserves the right to refuse
to supply water when the same would impose unreasonable risk of
a health hazard or other harm to the System. Any determination
on this matter by PURECYCLE shall be subject to review by the
CDPHE or a similar, lawfully authorized health authority of the
State. PURECYCLE agrees to abide by the decision of such
authority, pending administrative appeal by it of such decision.
7.4 Facility Relocations. If COUNTY deems it necessary in the
exercise of its powers to regulate municipal streets, highways
or other public rights of way to remove or relocate PURECYCLE
Facilities located in such areas, PURECYCLE shall be notified
and said removal and relocation shall be accomplished in the
customary manner within COUNTY, except that should COUNTY seek
any improvements to Quincy Avenue as a component of such
improvements and any relocation is necessary for the
transmission line serving the Property, such relocation shall be
at the sole expense of COUNTY.
7.5 Design Coordination. PURECYCLE agrees to provide the
necessary digital files to the COUNTY to allow for the COUNTY to
design a preliminary vertical alignment for the future
improvements of Quincy Avenue during the review process for the
proposed PURECYCLE facilities that will be located within the
Quincy Avenue Right-of-Way. Digital Files shall include expanded
topography mapping (2-foot contour interval and 1" = 50' scale)
extending from the northern edge of the existing asphalt paving
to the northern ROW boundary and for at least 25 feet on each
side of the pipeline where it crosses Quincy Avenue and enters
the Property. The mapping shall include adequate horizontal
control data including the project benchmark information and the
section lines along the Quincy Avenue Alignment. PURECYCLE
agrees to coordinate the design of the pipeline, including
utility depths as reasonably set by the COUNTY, to minimize
potential adverse impacts of the water utilities on future
roadway expansion projects. The COUNTY agrees to complete the
design of the preliminary vertical alignment within three weeks
of the design submittal providing PURECYCLE provides all of the
necessary information to complete the proposed tasks. PURECYCLE
also agrees to submit any additional digital information it
prepares or otherwise obtains during the design and construction
of the Water Facilities at the request of the COUNTY that is not
included in the above requirements.

ARTICLE 10
DEFAULT BY RANGEVIEW OR PURECYCLE; REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT
10.1 Termination for Frustration of Essential Purpose.
(a) If a failure to obtain necessary regulatory approval, any
force majeure, or any default by RANGEVIEW or PURECYCLE in the
performance of their obligations hereunder causes a delay in the
construction of any essential element of the Water Facilities,
and it is impossible for any reconfiguration of the Water
Facilities, or for any assumption of control pursuant to Section
10.2 below (if applicable under the circumstances), to achieve
water service to the Property, COUNTY shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to RANGEVIEW and
PURECYCLE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties will
mutually cooperate to the extent possible with respect to delays
pursuant to this Section. However, if COUNTY determines that
such delays pursuant to this Section will not be resolved in a
timely manner, the COUNTY shall have the right to terminate the
Agreement upon sixty (60) days' written notice to PURECYCLE and
RANGEVIEW.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice issued pursuant to subsection (a)
above, RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE shall immediately cease all work
on the Water Facilities, except such work as may be required for
the protection of public safety, to secure and protect the site
of any construction work, and to preserve the utility of any
non-construction work for possible future use.
(c) In the event of a termination under this Section 10.1, the
COUNTY shall pay RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE for all work performed
and materials purchased through and including the date on which
RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE receive such notice and for reasonable
termination expenses RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE incurred unless
RANGEVIEW or PURECYCLE has committed a material breach of this
Agreement which is the proximate cause of the impossible
circumstance. In that event, the COUNTY shall not be required
to pay RANGEVIEW or PURECYCLE for any work performed and
materials purchased. In addition, if a material breach of this
Agreement by RANGEVIEW or PURECYCLE is the proximate cause of
the impossible circumstance, this subsection (c) shall not be
construed to bar COUNTY from claiming whatever damages it may be
entitled to as a result of such breach.
(d) For the purposes of this Section 10.1, the term "impossible"
shall mean a circumstance in which RANGEVIEW or PURECYCLE is
truly prevented from performing, and not that continued
performance is merely impracticable or unreasonably expensive.
Such a circumstance must be beyond the control of and not
created by COUNTY.
10.2 COUNTY's Right to Assume Control of Water Facilities.
(a) In the event of a material default by PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW
in the performance of their obligations hereunder, COUNTY shall
be entitled to assume the rights and obligations of RANGEVIEW
and PURECYCLE with respect to operation of those Water
Facilities which directly provide service to the Property,
including the right to use the Dedicated Export Water reserved
by PURECYCLE to serve the Property pursuant to Section 10.2(b)
below. To the extent that said Water Facilities also serve
other customers, COUNTY's operation thereof shall not adversely
impair water service to said other customers; with the right of
each customer to use capacity of a specific Water Facility being
based on the number of EQR for which Water Taps are held by said
customer divided by the total number of EQR obtaining service
therefrom on the date of COUNTY's assumption.
(b) In the event of a material default by PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW
in the performance of their obligations hereunder, PURECYCLE
shall convey title to the Dedicated Export Water to COUNTY.
PURECYCLE shall convey such Dedicated Export Water pursuant to
the terms of a deed in the same form and with the same rights
and obligations as the Export Water Deed. Such transfer will be
free and clear of any security interests and other liens
provided County has paid for all costs as provided for herein.
(c) The assumption rights granted to COUNTY herein are subject to
any and all applicable terms and conditions of the Lease, the
Export Water Deed, and any obligation recorded in the Arapahoe
County Clerk and Recorder's Office with respect to the Lease or
the Export Water.
(d) If COUNTY assumes control of the Water Facilities which
directly provide service to the Property pursuant to this
Section 10.2, COUNTY will not be responsible for paying any
additional fees, rates or charges to PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW
following the effective date of COUNTY's assumption; however
COUNTY shall be responsible for making Royalty payments due to
the Land Board pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Lease and also for
paying their pro rata share of the costs of operating Water
Facilities used or useful to serve the Property which are not
directly operated by COUNTY following the assumption.
(e) For the purposes of this Section 10.2, a material default
shall be defined as a failure to perform a material term,
covenant or condition in this Agreement which continues uncured
for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice
specifically setting forth the nature of the default has been
given by COUNTY to RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE, or if more than
sixty (60) days is reasonably required to cure such matter
complained of, if RANGEVIEW and PURECYCLE shall fail to commence
to correct the same within said sixty (60) day period or shall
thereafter fail to prosecute the same to completion with
reasonable diligence.
(f) Insolvency and Other Proceedings. PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW
shall provide written notice to COUNTY at least thirty (30) days
prior to filing any actions for bankruptcy, dissolution, or
insolvency. In the event of any bankruptcy, dissolution, or
insolvency proceedings, any other debtor-creditor actions or
proceedings, or any other litigation, actions, or proceedings
whatsoever involving PURECYCLE and/or RANGEVIEW, whether
voluntary or involuntary, both PURECYCLE and RANGEVIEW each
hereby agree that each of them will use reasonable efforts to
prevent water service to the Property, or rights to water
service for any existing water users on the Property, from being
terminated, interrupted, reduced, modified, or threatened.

each party's performance of the obligation affected shall be
suspended for so long as such cause prevents it from performing
such obligation.
11.8 Parties Obligated. RANGEVIEW shall have no liability or
responsibility whatever for performance of any obligations
imposed upon PURECYCLE under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, RANGEVIEW shall be obligated to enforce the
provisions of the agreements it has with PURECYCLE that affect
the rights and obligations of the COUNTY under this Agreement.
11.9 Integration. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as the fully integrated expression of the parties'
agreement with respect to the matters addressed. No express or
implied covenant not specifically set forth shall be a part of
this Agreement. The parties expressly aver that no
representations other than those specifically set forth in this
Agreement have been relied upon by either party to induce it to
enter into this Agreement.
11.10 Non-appropriation. Pursuant to C.R.S. Section 29-1-110,
as amended, the financial obligations of the County as set forth
herein after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds

Exhibit C
SPECIAL FACILITIES FUNDING
Pursuant to Section 4.3, the COUNTY shall fund Special
Facilities "A" and "B" by making an initial cash payment, by
selling groundwater to PURECYCLE as provided for at Section 5.3,
and by making monthly capital facilities surcharge ("MCFS")
payments. The estimated cost for Special Facility "A" is
$607,440 and the estimated cost for Special Facility "B" is
$637,728; resulting in a combined Special Facilities cost of
$1,245,168 ("Special Facilities Cost").
The amount of the initial cash payment shall be $397,235.
COUNTY shall pay PURECYCLE the initial cash payment within
thirty days following the Effective Date.
The groundwater purchase price is estimated to be $240,075
pursuant to Section 5.3. Any difference in the groundwater
purchase price due to a change of the amount of groundwater
actually conveyed by COUNTY to PURECYCLE, whether positive or
negative, shall result in the recalculation of the MCFS.
The amount of the MCFS shall be calculated on the Effective
Date, and again upon COUNTY's conveyance of groundwater to
PURECYCLE pursuant to section 5.3 should said conveyance occur
on a date other than the Effective Date, based on the unpaid
balance of the Special Facilities Cost, and using 120 equal
monthly payments with interest at the rate of six percent (6%)
per annum, compounded monthly. Payment of the MCFS shall be due
with other water service charges on the first statement for
water service following the COUNTY's occupancy and use of the
initial phase fairgrounds facilities and shall continue until
the entire Special Facilities Cost, including accrued interest,
is paid in full. Interest shall begin to accrue upon the date
of PURECYCLE's "conditional acceptance" (as defined in Section
5.9 of the Rules and Regulations) of the Water Facilities.
COUNTY shall have the right to prepay the Special Facilities
Cost hereunder without penalty. If the County should choose to
prepay the Special Facilities costs early the COUNTY would be
responsible for the remaining balance plus all interest accrued
to that point, the COUNTY shall not be responsible for any
future interest beyond the date in which the prepayment is
effective.
Taking into account the above listed initial cash payment and
groundwater purchase price, the resulting amount of the Special
Facilities cost to be funded by COUNTY's payment of the MCFS is
$607,858. Assuming for example that PURECYCLE's conditional
acceptance of the Water Facilities occurs three months prior to
COUNTY's occupancy and use of the initial phase fairgrounds
facilities, the amount of the MCFS would be $6,849.70.
The MCFS will be incorporated into and added to the water
service rates and charges imposed and collected by PURECYCLE and
will be subject to payment and collection on the same basis as
said water rates and charges, all as provided by the Rules and
Regulations. All remedies available under the Rules and
Regulations for non-payment of water service rates and charges,
including the MCFS, and which include without limitation
suspension and termination of water service and a perpetual lien
upon the property served, shall apply for service to the
Property.
Pursuant to C.R.S. section 29-1-110, as amended, the financial
obligations of the County as set forth herein after the current
fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being
appropriated, budgeted and otherwise available. This Agreement
is automatically terminated on January 1st of the first fiscal
year for which funds are not appropriated. The County shall
give PureCycle written notice of such non-appropriation.
COUNTY's sole obligations for funding of the Special Facilities
shall be to sell the subject groundwater pursuant to the terms
established herein and to make the payments identified herein.
In the event that the Special Facilities cost more than the
amounts estimated herein, PURECYCLE shall be responsible for
providing additional funds. In the event that the Special
Facilities cost less than the amounts estimated herein,
PURECYCLE shall retain any remaining funds.
The payments provided for in this Exhibit C are solely to
compensate PURECYCLE for constructing the Special Facilities and
are not payments for the Export Water or for any Water Taps
hereunder.
