This Agreement shall terminate without further notice, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms hereof, when the term specified in this Article II expires.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all amounts due the City under this Grazing Agreement must be paid prior to the removal of the cattle by Contractor. ARTICLE IV EFFLUENT APPLICATION 4.01. Contractor hereby expressly agrees and stipulates that the primary purpose and use of the HLAS is as an effluent disposal site for effluent produced by the City. Due to HLAS Grazing Agreement-Crofoot Page 2 of 16 its intended purpose and issues related to weather, competing effluent demands, mechanical and/or pumping difficulties and various other related matters, portions of the HLAS may not receive effluent in quantities and at times necessary for optimum growth of crops on the HLAS. Additionally, Contractor hereby expressly stipulates and agrees that, due to the above described issues, instances may occur in which portions of the HLAS may receive effluent in excess of the quantities and at times within permitted parameters but less than optimum to the ideal needs of crops. 4.02. The City shall have the sole right of control over each and every system of effluent application and/or irrigation located upon the HLAS. The City reserves all rights in and to the HLAS necessary to exercise whatever control it deems necessary, as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion, to effectuate such irrigation and effluent application activities. It is expressly agreed and understood that the City has the right to apply and/or irrigate effluent upon the HLAS on such lands, at such times, and in such quantities, or to refuse to apply and/or irrigate such effluent upon the HLAS, as it shall deem necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, or as required by regulatory authorities. Contractor shall have no rights whatsoever regarding the effluent irrigation or application upon the HLAS, including without limitation, the timing and amounts of irrigation or land application or the lands upon which irrigation or land application shall occur, if any. 4.03. Contractor expressly recognizes and stipulates that the grazing of the HLAS will be under a strict management regime. The management practices at HLAS are expected to be dynamic in nature, and as such, it is anticipated that grazing management practices may be altered during the term of this Agreement. THE CITY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DICTATE (i) THE NUMBER OF CATTLE GRAZED UPON THE HLAS; (ii) THE TIMES HLAS Grazing Agreement-Crofoot Page 3 of 16 AT WHICH THE CATTLE GRAZE UPON THE HLAS; (iii) THE AREAS OF THE HLAS GRAZED BY CONTRACTOR'S CATTLE; AND (iv) ANY AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HLAS, THE IRRIGATION OF THE HLAS, AND THE GRAZING OF THE HLAS, THAT CITY SHALL DEEM NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the following conditions shall be imposed upon the grazing of Contractor's cattle upon the plots at the HLAS: i. Each application plot shall be managed individually. Further, each or some of the plots may contain small livestock exclosure areas utilized to measure plant material yield. ii. Each plot must have a stand of forage that covers a minimum of 75% of the ground surface prior to initiating, and during grazing. iii. A 70 lb/ac/yr discount in the annual application of plant available nitrogen (PAN) will be made in the defined effluent application rate to account for the nitrogen recycled as a result of grazing the HLAS. In the event stocking density is higher than 2.0 head/ac, then the discount will be increased by 35 lbs N/ac/head/yr. iv. The application of plant available nitrogen will continue to be further discounted by the amount of residual soil nitrogen found in the application plot immediately prior to the grazing activity. V. Grazing shall be limited to time periods between the vegetative and headingibud stage of the forage. HLAS Grazing Agreement-Crofoot Page 4 of 16 vi. The stocking density shall be maintained between 1 to 2 head (not counting nursing calves)/acre (depending on animal size) during periods of grazing (so long as the condition in "v." above, is met). vii. Once grazing has been terminated on the plot, all remaining forage must be mechanically harvested and removed from the plot. viii. Grazing shall be discontinued or the grazing population decreased when the forage is at a height of 4" to 6" or, depending upon the forage crop utilized, an appropriate height to allow for crop regrowth. 4.04. CONTRACTOR HEREBY RELEASES CITY, ITS ELECTED OFFICIALS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR DAMAGE, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, INCURRED, SUSTAINED, RELATED TO, OR AS A RESULT OF EFFLUENT APPLICATION AND/OR IRRIGATION UPON THE HLAS, OR THE LACK THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EFFLUENT APPLICATION BEYOND NORMAL CROP REQUIREMENTS OR BELOW NORMAL CROP REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THE COMPLETE CURTAILMENT OF SUCH APPLICATION AND/OR IRRIGATION, AND FURTHER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR DAMAGE RELATED TO THE SOLE, CONCURRENT AND/OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OF ANY KIND, TYPE, DEGREE OR NATURE, OF CITY, ITS ELECTED OFFICIALS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.
