Quantity"). Lessee may, subject to the terms of this Paragraph ILA, at
any time or times during the term hereof, increase the quantity of water to
be provided hereunder, up to a maximum of 500 acre-feet of water per
annum, by providing notice to Lessor at least ninety (90) days prior to the

become the Base Annual Quantity for all purposes of this Lease. The
Base Annual Quantity, as same may be increased pursuant to the terms
hereof, may not be decreased by Lessee during the term hereof.
In the event the level of the Lake shall decrease to the level of 2185 feet
above mean sea level or below during the term hereof, the amount of
water required to be delivered to Lessee by Lessor shall decrease in a
corresponding manner for such time as the Lake shall be at such level, as

Annual Quantity shall revert to the last Base Annual Quantity prior to the
reduction.
B. Source of Water Supply — Water supplied pursuant to this Lease will be
water provided in accordance with the Permit.
C. Point and Rate of Diversion — Water supplied pursuant to this Lease will
be diverted at the place and rate of diversion as authorized in the Permit.
D. Purpose of Use — Lessee represents to Lessor and Lessor relies on such
representation that all water supplied under this Lease will be utilized for
retail water service and for municipal uses only, as such terms are defined
by rules adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the
"Commission"). Lessee is expressly prohibited from providing or selling
raw water to any third party without the written consent of Lessor.
E. Place of Use - Water supplied pursuant to this Lease shall only be used by
the District and its retail water customers within the metes and bounds

the form as attached hereto as Exhibit "G", at the request of District and
upon the consideration stated therein.
G. Rate of Delivery — Lessor agrees to deliver water to Lessee at a rate not to

over a 24-hour period. City will not restrict the delivery pressure from the
Lake, unless the restriction is necessary to comply with this provision or
the terms of the Permit.
H. Quality of Water — Lessor makes no representation as to the quality of the
water supplied under this Lease, and Lessee hereby releases Lessor and
agrees to hold it harmless from any and all claims that Lessee or Lessee's
customers or users have or may have for any diminution in or impairment
of the quality of water supplied under this Lease caused by any acts or
omissions of Lessor.
III. ADMINISTRATION OF LEASE
A. Term of Lease — This Lease shall be for a term of twenty (20) years
commencing on the earlier to occur of (i) Lessor's actual delivery of water
to Lessee, at any quantities, under the terms hereof; or (ii) three (3) years
from the Effective Date, (the earlier to occur of said dates being referred to
herein as the "Take or Pay Date") and ending on the twentieth (20t) year
anniversary of the Take or Pay Date, unless terminated earlier by either
party as provided herein.
Lessee will do all things lawful within its power to pursue, obtain and
maintain funds from which the herein payments for delivery of water from
Lessor may be disbursed. In the event that prior to the Take or Pay Date,
Lessee has been unable to obtain sufficient funds for payment of delivery
of water from Lessor, as communicated by Lessee to Lessor in writing on
or before ten (10) days after the Take or Pay Date, this Agreement shall
terminate without penalty to Lessee.
B. Computation of Rates for Leased Water — Lessee hereby acknowledges
that the Enabling Legislation accurately and appropriately defines the
components necessary for the computation of the rates to be charged by
the Lessor to the Lessee for the water to be supplied hereunder. Lessee
hereby acknowledges that such components, if applied correctly, will
generate rates that are just, reasonable and non-discriminatory, as applied
to Lessee and the supply of water made available hereunder.
C. Terms of Payment — Lessee hereby covenants to pay Lessor the initial
sum of $567.53 per acre-foot for the delivery of the Base Annual Quantity,
regardless, except as provided below, of whether said Base Annual
Quantity is actually delivered to or used by the Lessee or its customers.
RAW WATER LEASE FROM LAKE ALAN HENRY PAGE 3
Lessee shall be obligated to pay only for the water actually provided to it
until the Take or Pay Date. From and after the Take or Pay Date, Lessee
shall be obligated to pay, and shall pay, the Base Annual Quantity
regardless of whether said Base Annual Quantity is actually delivered or
used by the Lessee or its customers. Lessee expressly stipulates and
agrees that the price for water paid to be delivered hereunder may be
adjusted annually, effective for deliveries of raw water to Lessee on and
after February 1 of each year of the term hereof, in accordance with the
terms of Paragraph III.B.
Within thirty (30) days of the anniversary of the Take or Pay Date, and
during the term of this Lease, Lessor will mail a statement to Lessee
showing the annual diversions and amount delivered. Such statement
shall also show the amount of money owed by Lessee to Lessor for the
Base Annual Quantity and any additional quantities of water authorized in
accordance with the Lease. Each statement submitted shall be paid to
Lessor at its office in Lubbock, Texas, by check or bankwire, on or before
thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of the statement to Lessee. In the
event Lessee fails to make payment of that statement within said thirty
(30) day period, Lessee hereby agrees to pay and shall then pay a late
payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the statement. For
each calendar month or fraction thereof that the statement remains
unpaid, Lessee hereby agrees to pay and shall pay interest at the rate of
one and a half percent (1.5%) of the amount of the statement. If the
statement has not been paid in the prescribed period, Lessee hereby
further agrees to pay all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees,
regardless of whether suit is filed for such collection.
D. Metering of Delivered Water — To measure the amount of water delivered
to Lessee hereunder, Lessor agrees, at Lessor's expense, to install such
flow meters and recording devices as are approved by the Lessee (the
"Meters"), such Meters to permit, within five percent (5%) accuracy,
determination of quantities of raw water delivered hereunder in units of
1,000 gallons. Lessor shall provide Lessee and Lessee shall provide
Lessor with reasonable access to the Meters for the purpose of making
meter readings and/or periodic inspections. Lessee and Lessor shall have
the right to make a reading of the Meters installed by Lessor on a monthly
basis. Lessor agrees that the Meters shall be tested for accuracy by
qualified personnel as approved by the Lessee and at the expense of
Lessor once each calendar year at intervals of approximately twelve (12)
months. Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a report of such test results.
Readings within five percent (5%) of accuracy shall be considered correct.
The Meters may be tested at any reasonable time by either party,
provided that the party making the test shall notify the other party at least
two (2) weeks in advance and allow the other party to witness the test.
RAW WATER LEASE FROM LAKE ALAN HENRY PAGE 4
Lessee may install, at its expense, check meters in or to any of Lessor's
metering equipment at any time and may leave such check meters
installed for such periods as Lessee deems to be reasonably necessary to
determine the accuracy of Lessor's metering equipment. Lessor shall be
required to take necessary steps to correct any meter inaccuracy
discovered during any test.
In the event any question arises at any time as to the accuracy of any
meter, such meter shall be tested by Lessor promptly upon the demand of
Lessee, the expense of such test to be borne by Lessee if the meter is
found to be correct and by Lessor if it is found to be incorrect. If, as a
result of any test, any meter is found to be registering inaccurately (i.e., in
excess of five percent (5%) of accuracy), the readings of such meter shall
be corrected at the rate of its inaccuracy for any period which is definitely
known and agreed upon or, if no such period is known and agreed upon,
the shorter of the following periods shall be used as the basis for
correction:
1. a period extending back either sixty (60) days from the date of demand
for the test or, if no demand for the test was made, sixty (60) days from
the date of the test; or
2. a period extending back half of the time elapsed since the last previous
test; and the records of reading shall be adjusted accordingly.
E. Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Measures — Pursuant to 30
Tex. Admin. Code Chapter 288, Lessee agrees to develop and implement
water conservation and drought contingency measures consistent with, or
more restrictive on water use than, Lessor's water conservation plan (the
"Conservation Plan"), and that the water delivered to Lessee pursuant to
this Lease will be used in accordance with such Conservation Plan.
Lessor, in accordance with applicable law, may from time to time modify
the Conservation Plan. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with copies of
Commission approved water conservation and drought contingency plans
prior to the delivery of water pursuant to this Lease.
F. Termination of the Lease — This Lease may be terminated hereto as
follows:
1. Lessor, at its sole option, and in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Paragraph III.G., "Non -Payment", may terminate
this Lease without recourse should Lessee fail to comply with the

(30) days notice and opportunity to cure such default.
Lessee shall remain liable for all fees and charges accruing under the
Lease through the date the Lease is terminated.

written notice to Lessee stating the amount due and unpaid. If Lessor
gives notice as provided herein and Lessee fails to pay within thirty
(30) days of the date such written notice was mailed the amounts
claimed in such notice to be due and unpaid, Lessor may, at its sole
option, upon giving ten (10) days additional written notice to Lessee,
terminate this Lease without recourse. If Lessee should dispute

to the lake from the Landowners' property. The City shall
initiate and prosecute the Section 404 proceeding with
reasonable diligence.

to survey the reservoir site in order to determine the total
number of acres below the normal operating level, the number of
W
C7
acres required for the dam structure, dam abutments, borrow
areas, pump station and access thereto, spillways, return, other
structures, unusable land, and public access areas.
Except as provided in sections III and IV with respect to
the easements therein referred to, the City agrees to pay or
compensate the Landowners for each acre taken by the City in fee
title (the oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon minerals being
reserved to Landowners as set out below) to complete the
Justiceburg Reservoir Project, as follows: $800.00 per acre
which is the City's estimate of avoided costs by settlement.

The City shall purchase all unusable land which is
designated by red color code on the map attached hereto as
Exhibit 'A', which Exhibit is made a part of this Agreement for
all purposes. The Parties agree that after the final design and
construction plans of the reservoir are completed, other
property of Landowners may become unusable land and such
additional potential unusable land is designated on Exhibit 'A'
by yellow color code. For purposes of such additional potential
unusable land, the term 'unusable land' shall mean property
owned by any Landowner that is a party to this Agreement, to
which all reasonable access to such property or reasonable
access to livestock water supplies to such property or
reasonable use of such property for normal ranching operations
will be denied due to the isolation of such property by water in
the reservoir or City's facilities related to the reservoir,
and/or property owned by others. The owners of all 'unusable CO
O
land' shall be paid for same at the rate of $800.00 per acre.

The Landowners will retain all oil and gas, and other
hydrocarbon mineral rights and other substances extracted with
or as a by-product of the extraction of such hydrocarbon
minerals and all development rights from such minerals attached
to the land acquired by the City, whether in fee or by
easement. Included in such rights will be the right to drill
hydrocarbon oil and gas wells through the reservoir and to
locate such wells on barges or man-made islands in the reservoir
itself. All such structures shall be' constructed and maintained
at the Landowners' and Operator's risk with regard to flooding

by the City's reservoir.
With respect to all minerals presently owned by Landowners
and not currently under lease, Landowners and the City expressly
agree that all current and future -hydrocarbon oil and gas well
drilling, storage and transportation activities, during both
construction and operation and all facilities incidental
thereto, shall be operated and maintained in such manner as will
protect from any contamination the purity of the water impounded
in the reservoir at all times pursuant to the applicable
Regulations of the Railroad Commission of Texas; and that the
location of any drilling sites on land owned in fee by the City
shall be subject to approval by the City, which approval shall
not be unreasonable withheld.

This payment will constitute a non-refundable deposit and will
be made pursuant to a contract of sale for the necessary land;
however, the City even after payment of the non-refundable
deposit and before the payment of •the balance of the purchase,
as herein provided, expressly retains the right to elect not to
proceed with the project or the purchase of the property which
is the subject of this Agreement. Except for specific
performance to obtain cancellation of S 11.121 Permit No. 4146

then due and owing on the land purchased pursuant to this
section at any time. In the event the City does purchase the
land necessary for the Justiceburg Reservoir as determined in
section VI and later decides not to construct the reservoir or
utilize the land, then in such event, and to the extent it is
authorized to do so by State law, Landowners' shall have a right
of first refusal to repurchase the land from the City. The
right of first refusal herein granted to the Landowner shall be
exercised by him within 120 days from the date the City notifies
all of the Landowners of its intention to accept a bona fide
offer for the purchase of the property. In the event that the
Landowner whose land was purchased by the City does not exercise
his right of first refusal or declines to exercise said right,
the other Landowners who are parties to this Agreement shall
have the right to purchase the land in question provided that
they do so within the 120 day period above set forth.

with the project as above provided, be due and payable by the
City prior to entry into actual construction of the dam,
reservoir or any major facility relating thereto, and in no
event later than three (3) years following the dismissal of
litigation as provided in section VIII, below. In the event the
City fails to pay the remaining purchase price as herein
provided, the City will seek cancellation of its S 11.121 Permit
No. 4146 and Landowners have the right to enforce cancellation
by specific performance. The balance of the purchase price to
be paid Landowners (i.e., the total purchase price payable
hereunder less the non-refundable deposit) shall be increased
monthly from and after thirty (30) days after the date of
dismissal of the litigation as hereinbelow provided at the rate
of ten percent (10%) per annum until full and final payment of 00

litigation and continuing regularly and semi-annually thereafter
until the entire amount of the increased purchase price is paid
in full. Such payments shall be non-refundable and shall be
credited toward payment of such increased purchase price.
In the event that the United States Corps of Engineers
requires as a condition to granting of a Section 404 Permit that
the City acquire additional land over and above the amount
determined in section V1 needed for the construction of the
Justiceburg Reservoir, then in such event the parties hereto
agree that the $800.00 per acre purchase price shall have no
application to any such additional land acquired under such
circumstances, except where the Section 404 land designated is
owned by the Landowners and is contiguous to the lake.
City agrees to indemnify and hold Landowners harmless from
any and all claims or liabilities, or damages based on the
VOL '179F_.:1O
negligence of the City or any of its employees, agents and
contractors related in any manner to the City's surveying,
feasibility investigations and construction and operation of the
Justiceburg Dam and Reservoir.

It is required to be executed within 60 days after (1) the
presentation by city to landowners of amount of acreage required

whichever last occurs (Section VII).
It is contemplated that a separate contract will be executed

It is further contemplated that a copy of Memorandum of

provisions will be omitted in .that circumstance.
It will be the responsibility of the City to prepare each
such contract and submit same to each landowner when timely.
I have provided for legal description of all temporary and
permanent easement areas for water pipe lines, transmission

It is possible that the specific areas of all or part of those
easements may not yet be determined by the date on the contract.
In which case those descriptions will be omitted from the

FORM II. WARRANTY DEED
COMMENTS
The warranty deeds will be executed at the time of the
payment of Lhe final 75o balance of the compensation due for the
property to be conveyed in fee. This could, in the option of the
City, be even as early as the date provided for the first 25'0 of
the compensation.
It is contemplated that a separate warranty deed will be
prepared for each separate landowner.
By the time of the warranty deeds most of the mutual
obligations of the parties under the Memorandum of Agreement will
already have been accomplished.
The language of the deed accordingly omits reference to
obligations by then already accomplished and is designed only to
incorporate, by inclusion and by reference to the Agreement,
obligatiuns still remaining as of such time.
It is contemplated that by such time most, if not all,
specific purpose easements will have been separately executed. To
the extent any have not been, however, this obligation will
continue.
It will be the duty of the City to prepare, submit and file
all deeds of record.

FORM III - SPECIFIC USE EASEMENTS
COMMENTS
Numerous easements of different types are provided for under
the Memorandum of Agreement.
Those affecting the 2220 to 2245 (and 300 horizontal feet
conditions) should best be handled in the warranty deed, for
their condition is part of that due for the fee conveyance areas.
The all weather service road easement is to be provided
without cost to the City. The consideration there is the City's
obligation to construct and maintain the road and for the
original (only) cost of a fence on both sides of the road. This
is properly subject to inclusion in a separate easement different
from all other easements in nature.
All other temporary and permanent easements are based on $20
per rod (60' wide). It is appropriate for all these easements
that only an "all purpose" form be now included. The terms and
conditions subsequently required will be satisfied by "word For
word" inclusion of the language contained in the Memorandum of
Agreement as directly or indirectly bears upon or affects the
specific easement involved.
To Lhio end an casement for the all weather service road and
a general easement form for all other easements, is attached.
It is anticipated that some easements may prove able to be
combined.
It will be the duty of the City to prepare, submit and file
these easements of record.
