Assignor will.make no assignment, pledge or disposition of the
Water Leases or the payments, rentals and other sums of money
that become due and payable thereunder; nor will Assignor

written demand by Assignee for such payment and shall be fully
protected from any claims by Assignor for all payments made to

management or repair of.the Subject Property, nor for the
carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Water
Leases; nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or
-3-

so that they may be represented if they so desire. The City
shall keep a true record of all meter readings as transcribed
from the reports of the City's employees or agents with re-
spect thereto. The City hereby agrees to calibrate its meter-
ing equipment as often as it considers necessary and at such
time as Owners may show reasonable evidence of error but not
less than once each year. In the event the meter is out of
service or out of repair so that the amount of water produced
R
hereunder cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading
thereof, the water produced and delivered during the period
such meter is out of service or out of repair, shall be agreed
upon by the parties hereto, by correcting the error if the per-
centage of the error is ascertainable by calibration tests or
mathematical calculations, or by estimating the quantity of
production by the deliveries made during preceding periods un-
der similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

August 15, 1983.

all claims for damages arising from the City's use of the pro-

or employees or by any member of the public, including any
claims arising from subsidence of the lands of others caused
by or related to extraction of water by the City.
(h) The City will comply with all present and future
laws, rules and regulations of all applicable governmental
units relating to the drilling for and extraction of water.

presentatives, has personally inspected the well field site

Computation of the adjustments to the base rate of $0.15 per one thousand
gallons.
Producer Price Index - Industrial Commodities as of December, 1980 was 286.6
Assume that the Index is 330 in December, 1983. The price paid per one
thousand gallons during 1984 would be computed as follows:
330 X $0.15 = $0.1727 Rounded Up to $0.173
2g1; 6
In the event the fourth figure is five or less and the third figure is even
the rate will be rounded down i.e., $0.1725 will be rounded down to $0.172.
If the fourth figure is five or greater and the third figure is odd the rate
will be rounded up i.e., $0.1735 up to $0.174. This adjustment will be made
each December to the rate to be paid the following year.
In the event that the Producer Price Index - Industrial Commodities is no
longer published, then by mutual agreement an Index similar to the Producer
Price Index - Industrial Commodities will be used.
