Course, located in the development known as Ocean Ridge, near the Town of Ocean Isle Beach

shown and described on that certain Planned Unit Development Master Plan for Ocean Ridge
Plantation, dated November, 1996, revised December 18, 2001, and approved by the Brunswick
County Planning Board on January 2, 2002, as amended from time to time (such golf courses
being referred to herein as the "Golf Courses");
WHEREAS, MAS Properties, L.L.C. and Developer own or will own the remainder of
the Ocean Ridge development in which the Golf Courses are located;
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Sewer Service Agreement (the "Sewer Service

Isle Palms, Inc., the County will own and operate a facility known as the Ocean Ridge
Wastewater Treatment Plant (the "Ocean Ridge Facility");
WHEREAS, the County will construct a pump station to pump wastewater from the
Ocean Ridge Facility to the a facility known as the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater

previously originating from property described in the Sewer Service Agreement to the Regional
Facility;
WHEREAS, the County has agreed to terminate its Reuse Water Agreement and amend
its Sewer Service Agreement, in both cases with respect to the development (including a golf
course) located in Brunswick County and known as Angel's Trace in accordance with a
Termination of Reuse Water Agreement and Amendment to Sewer Service Agreement made in
conjunction herewith (the "Termination Agreement");
WHEREAS, the County has agreed to supply treated effluent reuse water to the Golf
Courses for irrigation purposes, and the Golf Course Owners have agreed to accept up to a
certain amount of treated effluent reuse water for irrigation of the Golf Courses under the terns
described herein, including without limitation the condition that the Termination Agreement be
effectuated.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Provisions and Acceptance of Reuse Water. Upon conveyance of the Ocean
Ridge Facility to the County, the County shall supply reuse water to the Golf Course Owners,
without cost to the Golf Course Owners, and the Golf Course Owners shall accept such reuse
water for irrigation of the Golf Courses, or portions thereof The Golf Course Owners agree to
accept up to 900,000 GPD of reuse water for irrigation of the Golf Courses, subject to applicable
permit requirements. Until dismantling of the Ocean Ridge Facility has commenced in
accordance with the terms of the Sewer Service Agreement, however, the Golf Course Owners
shall have no obligation to accept reuse water from any facility other than the Ocean Ridge
Facility. The portions of the Golf Courses to receive reuse water shall be determined solely by
the Golf Course Owners in accordance with applicable permit requirements. The Golf Course
Owners are not required by the terms hereof to modify the Golf Courses in any way to allow an
increase in the amount of reuse water that is to be accepted for irrigation of the Golf Courses
hereunder. The Golf Course Owners shall have the right, but not the obligation, however, to
transfer a portion of the reuse water provided hereunder to other suitable areas in Ocean Ridge
permitted for acceptance of reuse water with the cooperation of the Developer. While the Ocean
Ridge Facility is being operated, the County shall not supply reuse water from the Ocean Ridge
Facility to any other property without the written consent of the Golf Course Owners. The Golf
Course Owners, the Developer and the County shall cooperate to modify or obtain required
permits for irrigation of the Golf Courses and/or other areas in accordance with this Agreement.

Facility (or, once the pump station has been constructed, the Regional Facility). The Golf Course
Owners and the Developer shall provide necessary easements for a reuse water line from public
rights of way to said reuse irrigation storage ponds and for a connection to the existing reuse
water line to the irrigation ponds on the Golf Courses. Such easements shall be located in the
places chosen by the then -owner of the property to be burdened thereby at the time of the

the Golf Courses, and the irrigation lines, pipes, pumps and other equipment used to irrigate the
Golf Courses. The Golf Course Owners shall provide a certified spray irrigation operator at all
times in accordance with 15A NCAC 80, including site visitation requirements. The mere
aesthetic desires or optimal management of the Golf Course Owners shall not be justifiable
reasons for violating permit conditions related to irrigation, but the Golf Course Owners shall
have the right to suspend acceptance of reuse water during any period in which the water does
not meet applicable requirements or standards, or in which acceptance of the reuse water would
likely damage or endanger health or property. In the event that the Golf Course Owners fail to

accordance with this Agreement, then the County shall have the right to enter upon the Golf
Courses to perform such operation and maintenance.
4. Permit ComplianceRecord Keeping Enforcement and Civil Penalties. The
County shall provide to the Golf Course Owners copies of all permits, renewals, notices and

sampling and testing of the treated wastewater effluent, as required by applicable permits. The
irrigation operator shall maintain records regarding irrigation of the Golf Courses, as required by
applicable permits, and such information shall be provided to the County in a timely manner.
The County shall be responsible for maintaining records regarding reuse water inflow to the Golf
Course ponds, and for submitting all required reports regarding such reuse water to DWQ. In the
event that a civil penalty is assessed against the County by DWQ for any permit violation for
which the Golf Course Owners are responsible, the Golf Course Owners shall remit the amount
of the penalty to the County for payment to DWQ; provided that the Golf Course Owners shall
have the right to contest any alleged violation and the County shall cooperate for that purpose.
The County shall timely pay any civil penalty that results from a permit violation for which the
County is responsible.
5. Conservation Easements. The County acknowledges that the Golf Course Owners
