THIS RECLAIMED QUALITY EFFLUENT WATER AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made
effective as of February 13, 2015 by and between Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc. (the "Owner") and the
Town of Oak Island (the "Town").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc. owns property and operates a golf course in the Town of
Oak Island and the Town of Caswell Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Oak Island has constructed wastewater reclamation facilities able to produce
reclaimed quality effluent which will be infiltrated into two high -rate infiltration basins and will then
provide collected groundwater for irrigation and other uses permitted by the State of North Carolina; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Oak Island and the Town of Caswell Beach have entered into an agreement
allowing the use of reclaimed quality effluent water in the Caswell Beach corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc. and the Town of Oak Island recognize the value
of reclaimed quality effluent water as a resource for irrigation and other allowable uses; and
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc. and the Town of Oak Island seek to work cooperatively
in making this resource available to the Oak Island Golf Club;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Provision and Acceptance of Reclaimed Quality Effluent Water. The Town shall supply reclaimed
quality effluent water to the Owner that may be available from production of the Town wastewater
reclamation facilities. The Owner agrees to accept up to an average of 265,700 gallons per day of
reclaimed quality effluent water to be placed into infiltration basins and for the Town to provide collected
groundwater for irrigation of the golf course and adjacent areas, subject to applicable permit requirements
and reclaimed quality effluent water availability. The portions of the golf course to receive collected
groundwater shall be determined solely by the Owner in accordance with applicable permit requirements
and the irrigation needs of the Owner. The Owner and the Town shall cooperate to modify or obtain
required permits for the use of reclaimed quality effluent and/or collected groundwater on the golf course
and/or other areas in accordance with this agreement. It is understood by the parties to this Agreement
that the Town may, in its sole discretion, supply reclaimed quality effluent water to Town residents and I
or Town businesses_ Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude the Town from supplying
reclaimed quality effluent water to Town residents and/or Town businesses.

2. Reclaimed Quality Effluent Delivery System and Lines. The Owner has constructed irrigation facilities
which can receive collected groundwater from the Town. The Owner shall provide necessary easements
for a reclaimed quality effluent line from public rights -of -way to the Owner's facilities so that reclaimed
quality effluent water may be efficiently used. Such easements shall be located in places mutually
acceptable to the Owner and the Town. The Town, at its expense, shall design, engineer, permit,
construct, install, operate and maintain the reclaimed quality effluent water line from the public right of
way to the Owner's facilities. The Owner and the Town will work cooperatively on any other irrigation
system adjustments which may be found to be beneficial to both parties. Changes that are beneficial to
the Town will be paid for by the Town.
Any infrastructure changes related to the golf course irrigation system, other than the infiltration basins,
and the reclaimed quality effluent line from the public right-of-way to the Owner's facilities which are
installed on the golf course, whether paid for by the Town or the Owner, become the sole property of the
Owner. This includes irrigation lines and sprinkler heads required for the efficient utilization of collected
groundwater. The Owner will assume responsibility for the maintenance and repair of the irrigation
system and the related infrastructure.
3. Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation System; Acceptance of Collected Groundwater. The Owner
shall own, operate and maintain the irrigation storage ponds located on the golf course, and the irrigation
lines, pipes, pumps and other equipment used to irrigate the golf course. The Owner shall have the right to
suspend acceptance of collected groundwater during any period in which the water does not meet
applicable requirements or standards, or in which acceptance of collected groundwater would likely
damage or endanger health or property, or at such times that the collected groundwater is not needed
because of excessive rainfall. In the event that the Owner has a problem maintaining the irrigation system
so as to provide for the acceptance of reclaimed collected groundwater in accordance with this
Agreement, the Owner may invite the Town to provide whatever expertise it has available to assist with
the problem. Additionally, the Owner may allow the diversion of collected groundwater to other uses
(ponds, etc.) in compliance with permits and general sound irrigation system operating parameters.
With respect to collected groundwater storage, the parties have agreed, in principal, to utilize the existing
pond at the # 18 green to store collected groundwater on the golf course property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Torun shall have the sole discretion as to reclaimed quality effluent water storage on
locations that are not on Owner's property.
4. Permit Compliance, Record Keeping. Enforcement and Civil Penalties.. The Town shall provide to the
Owner copies of all permits, renewals, notices and correspondence from DWR or any other regulatory
authority with respect to the reclaimed quality effluent water, collected groundwater and spray irrigation
systems. All reclaimed quality effluent water provided by the Town shall meet the requirements and
standards of applicable laws and permits. The Town shall be responsible for conducting all sampling and
testing of the reclaimed quality effluent, as required by applicable permits_ The irrigation operator shall
maintain any records regarding irrigation of the golf course, as required by any applicable permits, and
such information shall be provided to the Town in a timely manner. The Town shall be responsible for
maintaining records regarding reclaimed quality effluent water inflow to the golf course, and for
submitting all required reports regarding such reclaimed quality effluent water to DWR.

The Town shall timely pay any civil penalty that results from a permit violation for which the Town is
responsible. The Owner shall timely pay any civil penalty that results from a permit violation for which
the Owner is responsible. The Owner and the Town shall cooperate to review any alleged violations. The
Owner and the Town recognize that the endeavor described by this Agreement is a cooperative endeavor
for the benefit of the Oak Island community in which the Owner is a significant contributor to the
community's quality of life.
5. Term/Modifications. The initial term of this Agreement shall be ten (10) years, and such term shall
automatically be extended for successive periods of five (5) years unless terminated as hereinafter
provided. The Owner and the Town shall each have the right to unilaterally terminate their obligation
hereunder at any time during the initial term or any extension thereof by giving at least six (6) months
written notice to the other party. Any other termination, modification or amendment shall be in writing
specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties whose obligations are affected by
such modification or amendment.
6. Fees for Reclaimed Quality Effluent Water. In recognition of the benefits that the Town will receive
by having a place to send the reclaimed quality effluent water that is produced by the Town's wastewater
reclamation facilities, the Town agrees that there will be no fees paid by the Owner to the Town during
the initial term.
7. Condition to Agreement. The Owner and the Town recognize the seasonal availability of collected
groundwater for irrigation purposes and agree that the Town is under no obligation to provide collected
groundwater when wastewater flows do not reach levels allowing the production of sufficient collected
groundwater for the Owner's use. The Owner and the Town recognize the timing and production
limitations of the Town's facilities. The Town also recognizes that there may be times when the Owner
cannot immediately accept collected groundwater because of excessive rainfall.

quality effluent water infiltration shall be made subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In the event
that the Owner conveys the entire portion of the golf course that is permitted for collected groundwater
irrigation, such conveyance shall be deemed to have been made subject to this Agreement, and the Owner
shall have no further obligation hereunder. Otherwise, the parties hereto shall not have the right to assign
any of their obligations hereunder without the prior consent of the other parties.
9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto, and, revokes
