<br />I. At its November 25-26, 1996 meeting, the CWCB determined that the inoperable condition of the siphon <br />qualifies the BORROWER for an emergency loan, which is necessary to avoid unreasonable risk of damage <br />to property and crops. Further, the CWCB determined that these emergency conditions are not the result <br />of negligence in the operation or maintenance of the infrastructure and that the viability of the PROJECT is <br />not dependent upon further appropriations or loans. Based upon the foregoing, the CWCB approved an <br />emergency loan to the BORROWER in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), which <br />amount shall not exceed 75% of actual PROJECT costs, at an interest rate of 3%% per annum for a duration <br />of thirty (30) years to be used to finance PROJECT costs. <br /> <br />J. As a condition of its approval of this loan, the CWCB required that Public Service Company of Colorado <br />("PSCo"), which leases its water shares to agricultural users, agree to cease charging its lessees a ten <br />percent (10%) service charge and to charge its lessees no more than the amount of assessments PSCo <br />pays for the water it leases. PSCo has agreed to this condition in a letter to the CWCB dated December <br />23, 1996, which is incorporated herein by this reference. <br /> <br />K. The STATE now desires, by this contract, to loan money to the BORROWER for this PROJECT upon mutually <br />agreeable terms and conditions. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and dependent covenants contained herein, the <br />parties agree as follows: <br /> <br />A.

After receipt of periodic progress reports from the BORROWER, and review and <br />acceptance of the items therein as eligible expenses as described in this contract, the STATE will pay to <br />the BORROWER the amount set forth in the report or such portion that has been approved by the STATE. <br />Such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days from the STATE'S approval of each progress report. <br /> <br />3. Release after loan is repaid. Upon complete repayment to the STATE of the entire principal and any <br />accrued interest as specified in the promissory note provisions of this contract, the STATE agrees to file <br />a UCC-3 form with the Secretary of State to terminate all of the STATE'S rights in and to the revenues <br />pledged to repay this loan, and to release to the BORROWER any unused funds contained in the CD <br />ACCOUNT provided as collateral for this loan. <br /> <br />B.
