WRWC may contract with any Party or other person or entity for performance of services. WRWC and each individual Parry shall define the scope of individual Party contributions or individual efforts. 2.2 Existing Water Right. The permitted surface water right to the Willamette River is held by WRWC (130 mgd) as WRD Permit No. 49240, (hereafter"Existing Right"). WRWC shall exclusively own and manage this resource in the best interests of all Parties subject to this Agreement. Perfection of any permit shall be in the name of WRWC for the benefit of all Parties. 2.3 Administration of Water Rights. WRWC shall have the full authority to modify, combine or abandon water rights and permits and seek new sources through new permits or contracting, or leasing of stored water from federal, state or local storage projects for municipal and industrial needs.

A Parry may apply for other water rights but must notify WRWC and the other Parties and provide a 30-day opportunity for WRWC or any other Parry to join in the application to the Oregon Water Resources Department. Use of such water rights shall be in accord with Section 4, below. SECTION 3. WATER RIGHT ALLOCATIONS 3.1 Allocated Shares of Water. WRWC and its Parties shall each owe a duty of good faith SECOND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT 6 of 14 and fair dealing with each other and a commitment to reasonably allocate the unallocated portion of the Existing Right and new water rights obtained by WRWC according to each individual Party's needs and forecasted demand. For purposes of this Agreement,use of the word"allocated"does not mean a change of permit/certificate name to a Party; it means an allocation of a specified amount of water under a permit or certificate. 3.2 Tualatin Valley Water District. Tualatin Valley Water District originally applied for and obtained Permit 49240 on June 19, 1973 and subsequently assigned this water right to the WRWC. 3.3 Tigard. Tigard abandoned a 1995 permit application to appropriate 26 million gallons per day(mgd) (40 cfs). Tigard is allocated 26 mgd(40 cfs) of the Existing Right. 3.4 Sherwood. Sherwood has constructed transmission facilities to deliver 20 mgd from the Willamette River to its service territory. Sherwood is allocated 20 mgd (31 cfs) of the Existing Right. 3.5 Tualatin. Tualatin forecasts the potential need for 3 to 4 mgd of additional water by 2040. At this time,Tualatin is not allocated a specific capacity share of the Existing Right. If Tualatin elects, TVWD agrees to allow Tualatin to use 3.1 mgd of TVWD's 59.1 mgd capacity share of the Willamette Intake Facilities,subject to Tualatin negotiating agreements with TVWD,WIF,WRWTP, WWSS and/or individual members of those entities as needed to draw,treat and deliver the water to Tualatin's distribution system. 3.6 Unallocated. Accounting for the amounts set forth above in total, the unallocated remainder of the Existing Right is 24.9 mgd as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference. TVWD shall have first call and right to use unallocated water rights. This call right shall be exercised within 30 days from the date a Party requests the WRWC to make an allocation, or at any time upon notice from TVWD to the WRWC. 3.7 Cooperation. All or a portion of a Parry's allocated water rights may be used at the Willamette Intake Facilities(WIF)or,subject to Section 4 of this Agreement,at other intake facilities. The Parties acknowledge the provisions of the WIF Agreement shall be complied with and not affected by this Agreement, and that any other intake facilities may be governed by separate agreements. As opportunities arise, the Parties agree to seek additional WIF capacity, when and if available, seek additional water rights,and otherwise cooperate in good faith to achieve a Party's goal. SECTION 4. USE OF WATER AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACILITIES. 4.1 Approved Uses. Beneficial use of water at the WIF, WRWTP and WWSS,is deemed approved by signature to this Agreement, and TVWD, Sherwood and Tigard are authorized to proceed. 4.2 Future Proposals to Use Water. If any Party should desire to design,permit, finance SECOND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT 7of14 and construct, improvements to use allocated or unallocated water rights, as set forth in Exhibit A, it shall notify WRWC and the other Parties in writing("Notice")of the amount of water proposed to be used and a description of the proposed construction, expansion or modification ("Project"). The Notice shall include cost estimates and a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Project. The Parties,within 90 days of the date of Notice, shall notify the WRWC of their acceptance or rejection of participation in the Project,and cost shares shall thereafter be allocated. If notice of acceptance of the Project from a Party is not received within 90 days,participation in the proposed Project shall be deemed rejected by the Party failing to respond. 4.3 Individual Riahts. Facilities constructed under an approved Project may be in the name of WRWC,but design and construction decision making shall be by the participating Party(ies), as set forth in a project agreement.

If the proposal is found inconsistent or incompatible, the Party(ies) may use non-WRWC water rights held outside this Agreement. Under all circumstances,no such Project shall impair the ability of the WRWC to serve the other Parties or significantly increase the cost of usage to the other Parties unless the Party(ies) undertaking the Project agrees to pay the increased unit costs to WRWC or the Parties which have declined to participate in the Project. 4.4 Nonparticipating Parties. If a WRWC Party Project is undertaken and participation in a Project is fixed,then a nonparticipating Party shall have no further opportunity to participate unless the Participating Party(ies)consent and upon such terms as they determine in their sole discretion. If there is a material change in the nature or scope of the Project,the Participating Party(ies)shall notify the nonparticipating Parties specifying the changes. Within 30 days of notice, the nonparticipating Parties may give notice of intent to participate or they may decline. They may also object if the changes to the original Project impair the ability of the WRWC to serve the other Parties or significantly increase the cost of usage as described in Section 4.3. Objections shall be referred to dispute resolution. SECTION 5. SALE OR LEASE OF WATER TO OTHER ENTITIES. 5.1 WRWC. The Parties agree that the Existing Right and any Willamette River water rights hereafter acquired by WRWC are for regional application.

Nothing in this section shall overrule the provisions of any other agreement to which a Party may have entered into such as the WIF or WWSS Agreements. 5.2 Proceeds of Sales. The proceeds attributable to the sale or lease of water and water SECOND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT 8of14 rights to a non-Party shall be paid to WRWC unless otherwise determined by WRWC. Any distribution of these proceeds shall be as WRWC determines after expenses and costs of debt service, construction, operation and maintenance are met. 5.3 Transmission Line Charges. Sales or leases which may require wheeling through transmission lines of a Party, may be subject to a transmission line charge to be established by the affected Party. Charges for use of transmission lines shall be collected by WRWC from the user and paid to the Party who owns the transmission line. 5.4 Other Charges. Other charges may be established by WRWC as necessary. SECTION 6. WITHDRAWAL/TERMINATION. 6.1 Voluntary.

The Withdrawing Party shall continue to pay its share of, or be responsible for, any previously incurred joint debt, and shall hold harmless the remaining Parties for those financial responsibilities and obligations attributable to the Withdrawing Party. 6.2 Assets(not including Water Rights). 6.2.1 If WRWC, after receiving the notice of withdrawal, desires to purchase the assets of the Withdrawing Party, it shall notify the withdrawing Party in writing of its desire to purchase the Withdrawing Party's interest at market value. Such notice shall be given within 60 days of receipt of the notice of withdrawal. 6.2.2 If WRWC declines, then the one or more of the remaining Parties may give notice, within 60 days after notice of WRWC's decline, of intent to purchase assets as provided herein. Unless otherwise agreed in writing,the purchase of assets shall be apportioned equally among the buying Parties and their capital accounts shall be adjusted accordingly. 6.2.3 The price to be paid for the assets, whether determined by mutual agreement or otherwise, shall be paid to the Withdrawing Party in full within 12 months following the date of withdrawal set forth in the notice of intent to withdraw. 6.2.4 In the event that the WRWC or the remaining Parties fail to purchase the interest of the Withdrawing Party within the 12-month period,or in the event the WRWC or the remaining Parties decline to purchase the Withdrawing Party's interest,then the Parties shall negotiate a mutually agreeable operating SECOND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT 9of14 or a co-ownership agreement for the assets. If the purchasing Party(ies) fail to pay the purchase price within 12 months of the date of withdrawal and if the purchasing Party(ies) and Withdrawing Parry are unable to agree upon a mutually acceptable payment schedule,then the Withdrawing Party shall have the right to sell its assets to any other non-Parry entity approved by the governing boards or councils of the remaining Parties. The Withdrawing Parry's rights and duties shall be those specified in this Agreement until a sale is made to some other entity or some other mutually agreeable disposition is made, and the Withdrawing Party shall remain responsible for all terms and conditions of this Agreement. 6.3 Water Rights. If a Party seeks to withdraw from the WRWC, it may retain its allocated portion of the Existing Right, and its allocated portion of any Willamette River water rights hereafter acquired by WRWC. The Withdrawing Party shall be solely responsible to meet all requirements of any other agreement to which it is a party and obtain consent as necessary regarding use of its retained water right. Any unallocated amount will remain with WRWC, and the Withdrawing Party shall have no claim or right thereto. 6.4 Further Action. The Parties agree to cooperate to execute all documents necessary to make the water right transfers and assignments described herein. 6.5 Breach.

Step Two: (Mediation) If the dispute cannot be resolved under Step One,within 45 days after Notice of Dispute, the Parties shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation. The Parties shall attempt to agree on a mediator. If they cannot agree, the Parties shall request a list of 5 mediators from Arbitration Service of Portland,Inc.or another entity or firm providing mediation services they may agree to use.
