1.
TERM
The Agreement shall be effective upon the date the last parry fully executes the
contract and shall terminate on September 30, 2031,unless terminated earlier as provided
herein. It may be renewed on terms mutually agreeable to the parties.
2.
RATES FOR WATER TAKEN
The rates to be charged for treated water delivered by Fort Worth to the Cities of
Keller, Southlake and Westlake (hereinafter referred to as "the Cities") shall be equal to
the volume rates and rate of use charges currently in effect and as they may change from

C-41110 and C-41112, such contracts being hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Contracts."
3.
DETERMINATION OF UNACCOUNTED WATER LOSSES;
ALLOCATION TO EACH PARTY FOR BILLING PURPOSES
A. Two factors shall be used to determine unaccounted water loss: 1)the interior
surface area of the water supply pipeline required to deliver flow to each city's
delivery point as determined in Section 4; and 2)the recorded actual water usage,
as described in Section 5.
B. A city which does not take any flow during the monthly billing period shall not be
assessed an unaccounted water loss;however, if flow is not taken by any city
during any monthly billing period,then the unaccounted water loss of the
Delivery System in that monthly billing period shall be allocated proportionately
to each city based on the surface area of the water supply pipeline required to
deliver flow to each city's delivery point.
4.
SURFACE AREA OF THE WATER SUPPLY PIPELINE
The surface area of the water supply pipeline used by each city based on the now
paths available to convey flow to each City's delivery point are as follows:
• Southlake Pearson Delivery Point: the Cities agree that the resulting average
interior surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow through both the Fort Worth
Northside II Caylor Tank through the 42-inch line and the Fort Worth North
Beach Tank through the 36-inch/30-inch line equals 240,151 square feet.
• Keller Pearson Delivery Point: the Cities agree that the resulting average interior
surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow equals 240,151 square feet.

• Westlake Delivery Point: the Cities agree that the resulting average interior
surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow to the future anticipated Westlake
Delivery Point is 380,494 square feet.
• T.W. King Delivery Point: the Cities agree that the resulting average interior
surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow to the future anticipated Southlake
T.W. King Delivery Point is 453,405 square feet.
5.
Recorded Actual Water Usage
The total actual water delivered from all of the Fort Worth meters as shown on
Exhibit "A" shall be measured on a monthly basis. The recorded actual water usage by
each city at meters numbered 3, 4, 5 or 6 shall also be measured from each delivery point
on a monthly basis by Fort Worth pursuant to the Contracts. The sum of the water
delivered from the Fort Worth meters numbered 1 and 2 shall then be compared to the
sum of the water usage by the Cities at meters numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6. The difference
shall equal and be the total unaccounted water loss volume.
As an example only:

Each city's percentage of allocated unaccounted water loss shall then be determined on a
monthly basis by:
1. Multiplying the surface area designated for each citya in Section 4A by each city's
recorded actual water usageb to determine the product of the two factors°;then
2. Adding up the products,T for all of the Cities;then
3. Dividing the product of each city'by the total sum product�T for total Cities' to
determine each city's percentage of unaccounted water lossd; then

Keller and Westlake agree that the treated water delivered to meters numbered 3,
4, 5 and 6 under this Agreement will not be added to the treated water taken by each of
them pursuant to City of Fort Worth City Secretary Contact No.0-41100 and No.C-
41112. Keller and Westlake will continue to receive separate monthly bills and a
separate annual bill under Fort Worth City Secretary Contract No. C-41100 and C-41112,
as well as monthly bills and an annual bill under this Agreement.
6.
MAXIMUM HOUR, MAXIMUM DAY CHARGES
The assessment of the maximum hour and the maximum day charges incurred at
meters numbered 1 and 2 shall be based on the volume at each city's meter numbered 3,
4, 5 or 6 during the same maximum hour and maximum day time period and shall be
determined as follows:
A. First, to determine each city's allocated percentage of maximum day and
maximum hour charges take each city's recorded actual water usage for the actual
maximum hour and maximum day and divide by the total volume of meters 3
and 4 on Exhibit "A"; and meters 5 and 6 once the meters have been connected
to the system; then
B. Each city's allocated percentage as calculated above shall be multiplied by the
total maximum day and maximum hour charge incurred from meters 1 and 2 per
the Contracts.
C. The total annual payment for water delivered to each city shall be based on the
annual and peak volumes delivered to each city during the Fiscal Year, as
determined by meters, flow recording devices or other approved methods, and as
BILLING AGREEMENT
KELLER—SOUTHLAKE-WESTLAKE-EXECUTION COPY

provided in this Agreement. The October monthly payment for September's
usage shall contain any adjustments necessary to update the calculations as
necessary to recover the annual payment for the Customer's actual withdrawals
from the Fort Worth System (including Rate of Use Charges as defined in the
Contracts for Maximum Hour and Maximum Day Demands) for the Fiscal Year
just ended, during which the water usage occurred. Each city will be responsible
for its own portion of the settle-up amount.
D. This information shall not be used for annual billings made under City of Fort
Worth City Secretary Contracts No.C-41100,No. C-41110 and No. C-41112.
E. If any of the cities did not take water during prior year to the current billing year,
then the monthly maximum day and maximum hour charges for the current billing
year will be based on the readings from the most recent year with reading.
F. For historical information and comparison, and solely for use under this
Agreement, Fort Worth and the Cities agree that the maximum day and maximum
hour volumes shall be:
Maximum Day Maximum Hour
Keller 4.97 MGD 5.95 MGD
Southlake 18.29 MGD 20.26 MGD
Westlake To be determined at the design stage of the future meter.
This information shall not be used for annual billings made under City of Fort Worth
City Secretary Contract No.0-41100 and No. C-41112.

SUBJECT Allocation of Unaccounted Water Losses and Maximum DayMaximum Hour
Peaking Charges for Southlake/Keller/Westlake Water Supply System
DATE; April 25th,2010
A. Allocation of Unaccounted Water Losses
We have reviewed various options to allocate the unaccounted water losses in the Southlake/Keller
and future Westlake Water Supply System. The water loss allocation needs to be flexible enough to
facilitate the addition of a future Westlake Delivery Point as well as being as equitable as possible to
allow the losses to be shared between the participating cities. The looping of the water supply lines
between the City of Fort Worth Caylor Northside II Water Supply and the City of Fort Worth North
Beach Eastside 11 Water Supply adds an additional level of complexity in the water loss allocation to
ensure that each wholesale customer equitably share in the future unaccounted water losses.
The two variables that should be reflected in the water losses allocation are A)flow used by each
wholesale customer and B) surface area of water supply pipeline required to deliver flow to each
wholesale customer delivery point. If a wholesale customer is not taking any flow during the monthly
billing period they should not have to participate in paying the unaccounted water losses. If a
wholesale customer delivery point is located closer to Fort Worth's billing meters than other wholesale
customers take points than it is expected that their opportunity for experiencing water losses will be
less than others at more remote locations. Therefore, it is with these two variables that Freese and
Nichols has developed the following draft methodology to allocate the unaccounted water losses as
shown below.
The first step in this methodology is to calculate the surface area (pipeline length multiplied by the
pipeline parameter) of each pipeline section. These various pipeline sections are shown in the
attached Figure 1 as: Line"A"=36"/30" water transmission line from North Beach (Meter 42)to the
Southiake Pearson Delivery Point (Meter#3), Line "B" =30-inch water transmission line from
Southlake Pearson Delivery Point (Meter#3)to Keller Pearson Delivery Point(Meter#4), Line „C„
42-inch water transmission line from Caylor (Meter#1)to the split of the 30-inch water lines at
Pearson Road, Line"D" =30-inch water transmission line from Keller Pearson Delivery Point (Meter
#4)to the 30-inch water transmission line on Florence Road, Line "E" = 30-inch water transmission
line from Pearson Road to the future Westlake Delivery Point(Meter#6) and Line"F" =30-inch water
Allocation of Unaccounted Water Losses and Peaking Charges
April 25th, 2010 ;
Page 2 of 4
transmission line from the future Westlake Delivery Point (Meter#6)to the Southlake T.W. King
Delivery Point (Meter 45).
The following surface area for each pipeline section identified above is; Line "A" = 158,282 square feet,
Line "B" is 11,437 square feet, Line "C" = 278,949 square feet, Line "D" =31,635 square feet, Line "E" _
140,342 square feet and Line "F" =72,911 square feet.
The next step in the analysis is to estimate the average pipeline surface area used by each entity based
on the various flow paths available to convey flow to each delivery point. For the Southlake Pearson
Delivery Point there are two options to receive flow, Fort Worth Northside II Caylor Tank through the
42-inch line and Fort Worth North Beach Tank through the 36-inchj30-inch line. The average pipeline
surface area used to deliver flow to the Southlake Pearson Delivery Point is therefore the average of
the surface area of Line "A" plus the surface area of Line "B", Line "C" and Line "D" added together.
The resulting average surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow to the Southlake Pearson Delivery
Point is 240,151 square feet. Using this similar process,the resulting average surface area of pipeline
that can deliver flow to the Keller Pearson Delivery Point is also 240,151 square feet. The resulting
average surface area of pipeline that can deliver flow to the future anticipated Westlake Delivery Point
is 380,494 square feet. The resulting average surface area of pipeline to can deliver flow the Southlake
T.W. King Delivery Point is 453,405 square feet.
Once the average surface area to each delivery point is calculated, the next step is to record the water
usage taken by each delivery point. For the purpose of this calculation let's assume the following
average delivery rates are measured at each delivery point; Southlake Pearson uses 20 MGD, Keller
Pearson uses 12 MGD, Westlake uses 2 MGD and Southlake T.W. King uses 8 MGD. The actual usage
will be measured on a monthly basis to allow these water loss calculation to be represented of the
actual usage of the water supply system by each entity participating.
Based on these projected delivery rates the product of these two water loss variables would be the
following: Southlake Pearson Site Delivery Rate(20 MGD) multiplied by Average Surface Area of
Facilities (240,151 square feet) Used to Deliver this flow yielding in a product of 4,803,020. If the sum
of the Wholesale Customer Meters read 42 MGD as shown in the above example and the combined
Fort Worth billing meters of Caylor and North Beach read 44 MGD,then the unaccounted water loss
allocation would be 2 MGD as shown in Table 1 below.

Once the total unaccounted water loss is calculated, it can be allocated to each wholesale customer
delivery point using the average surface area of pipeline facilities used to convey flow to each
wholesale customer delivery point and the average delivery rate during the billing period as shown
below in Table 2.

B. Allocation of Maximum Day and Maximum Hour Peaking Charges
Unlike the allocation of unaccounted water losses, the relative location of various wholesale delivery
paints for Keller, Southlake and Westlake from Fort Worth has no impact on how much maximum day
and maximum hour peaking occurs with each customer city. Therefore, it is not recommended that
this same procedure be applied for these peaking charges.
Historically the maximum day and maximum hour peaking charges of the combined Caylor and North
Beach meter readings has been distributed equally between customer cities based on the respective
Allocation of Unaccounted Water Losses and Peaking Charges _

volume of water used by each customer city. It is recommended that this same procedure be
maintained going forward as a fair and equitable methodology for allocating these peaking charges as
the T.W. King Water Supply Line is put into service and additional delivery points for Southlake and
Westlake are added.
Please let me know if you agree with this amended methodology and if the allocation is acceptable to
each of the wholesale customer cities. If this approach is acceptable, we will add signature blocks for
each wholesale customer city to sign and then forward to the City of Fort Worth for amendment to
your existing wholesale contracts.

after 30 years.
4. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS OF GENERAL BENEFIT
FACILITIES.
4.1 Southlake and Keller agree to share the Operation and
Maintenance costs of the General Benefit Facilities as follows: Southlake shall pay 75
percent of the operation and maintenance costs of the Caylor/Pearson Line (3.1.A.),
and the Pearson Pump Station Line (3.1.B.) and 50 percent of the operation and
maintenance costs of the Existing General Benefit Facilities. Keller agrees to pay 25
percent of the operation and maintenance costs of the Caylor/Pearson Line (3.1.A.) and
the Pearson Pump Station Line (3.1.B.), and 50 percent of the Operation and
Maintenance costs of the Existing General Benefit Facilities. Based upon the foregoing,
Keller agrees to pay Southlake for 17/49ths of the costs of annual operation and
maintenance of the foregoing General Benefit Facilities. The 17/49th's is based upon a
maximum capacity of 49 MGD with 10 MGD capacity allocated to Keller for existing
General Benefit Facilities and 7 MGD capacity allocated to Keller on the Caylor/Pearson
Line and the Pearson Pump Station Line. System water losses shall be borne by the
parties according to their respective reserved capacities. System water losses shall be
determined by calculating the difference between the amount of water measured from
the meter readings at the Beach Street and Caylor Lane meters and the amount of
water measured from the meter readings at the Keller Pearson Lane and the Southlake
Pearson meters.
4.2 Southlake shall bili Keller monthly an estimated amount as set forth
in Section 4.1 for the costs for operation and maintenance of the Existing ueneral
Benefit Facilities and the Caylor/Pearson Line and the Pearson Pump Station Line.
Each October, Southlake shall calculate the annual System Costs of the General
Benefit Facilities and use these costs to calculate Keller's proportionate share of the
costs. Southlake shall bill Keller for the difference in the actual costs and the amount
Keller has paid for its share of Operating and Maintenance Costs for the previous 12
months. If the actual cost of Keller's proportionate share is less than the amount that
Keller has paid over the previous 12 months, Keller shall be entitled to a credit on its
next monthly payment. The monthly charges for Operation and Maintenance Costs for
the General Benefit Facilities for the next 12 months shall be determined by the annual
costs divided by 12. The October bill for September usage shall reflect any necessary
annual adjustments due to actual costs.
4.3 Keller shall pay for its obligations hereunder as follows: All such
bills shall be due and payable by Keller within 20 calendar days from the billing date;
provide however, in the event that Keller submits to Southlake within 20 calendar days a
legitimate written dispute of the amount billed detailing the reason for the dispute, the
bill shall not be considered late until 45 days from the billing date. The undisputed
portion of the bill shall be due within 20 calendar days from the billing date. The bills will
show current charges, as well as past-due charges, if any. Past-due charges shall be
the total amount unpaid from all prior billings as of the current billing date. A late fee of
five percent of the total billing shall be added to payments made after the due date.
Payments received by Southlake shall first be applied to the past-due charges, if any,
and thereafter to the current charges.
4.4 The parties hereto agree that services obtained pursuant to this
Agreement are essential and necessary to the operation of Keller's and Southlake's
waterworks facilities and that all payments made by Keller and Southlake hereunder
shall constitute reasonable and necessary operating expenses of Keller's and
Southlake's waterworks and wastewater systems within the meaning of Chapter 1502,
Texas Government Code, and the provisions of any and all ordinances of Keller and
Southlake authorizing the issuance of any long term debt of Keller and Southlake which
are payable from its waterworks and wastewater systems.
4.5 Keller agrees, throughout the term of this Agreement, to fix utility
rates and collect such fees and charges for water service to be supplied to its
customers as will produce revenues in an amount equal to at least: (i) all of operation
and maintenance expenses of its water system, including specifically its payments
under this Agreement; and (ii) all other amounts as required by law and the provisions
of the ordinances or resolutions authorizing its long term debt or other obligations now
or hereafter outstanding, including the amounts required to pay all principal of and
interest on such bonds and other obligations.
4.6 Keller understands that Southlake may annually revise the utility
rates, fees and charges charged to cover all reasonable, actual, and expected operation
and maintenance costs_ Any allocable operation and maintenance cost adjustment rate
increase shall be based upon a rate study performed or obtained by Southlake during
October 1 and December 30 of the preceding year, with adjustments due as of January
1 of the following year.
4.7 If Keller disputes a bill and is unable to resolve the difference
informally, Keller shall notify the Director in writing. If the Director and Keller are unable
to resolve the disputed bill, agreement on the bill will be determined by third party
mediation, as hereinafter provided. Dispute of a bill shall not be grounds for non-
payment. In the event a payment is not paid as specified in this Agreement, the late fee
provided in Section 4. 6 shall be imposed. In the event that a billing adjustment is
agreed upon or established by mediation the amount found to be incorrect will be
adjusted in accordance therewith to Keller's account.
4.8 The parties agree that one-half of the balance of funds, if any, in
the joint maintenance account established pursuant to the 1884 Contract shall be
credited towards Keller's obligations under this Section.
