VIII. Funding and Budgeting. The Parties shall mutually develop reasonable budgets and
cost sharing agreements or arrangements for work to be undertaken in carrying out SGMA
in the Basin.

IX. Stakeholders

A. The Parties agree to work together in ensuring public outreach and involvement of
the public, other interested stakeholders, and other agencies such as EMWD that
may be responsible for implementing groundwater sustainability in the Basin
throughout the SGMA process, including but not limited to all beneficial uses and
users of groundwater as provided in SGMA Section 10723.2.

B. The Parties acknowledge, agree, and desire that the preparation, adoption, and
implementation of one or more GSPs for the Basin, and the ongoing process of
ensuring compliance with the requirements of SGMA in the Basin, will involve close
coordination and cooperation with stakeholders and other interested parties,
including but not limited to those identified in this MOA.

X. Term, Termination, and Withdrawal

A. Term. This MOA shall continue and remain in effect unless and until terminated
by the unanimous written consent of the Parties, or as otherwise provided in this
MOA or as authorized by law.

B. Withdrawal. Any Party may decide, in its sole discretion, to withdraw from this
MOA by providing ninety (90) days written notice to the other Parties. A Party that
withdraws from this MOA shall remain obligated to pay its share of costs and
expenses incurred or accrued under this MOA and any related cost sharing
agreement or arrangement up to the date the Party provides its notice of
withdrawal as provided herein. Withdrawal by a Party shall not cause or require
the termination of this MOA or the existence of the ST-GSA with respect to the
non-withdrawing Parties.

1. In the event of withdrawal by BCVWD, YVWD, Redlands, or SGPWA from
this MOA and the ST-GSA, the Parties shall meet and confer regarding
whether the withdrawing Party wishes to seek GSA status for a portion of
the Basin underlying the service area or management area of the
withdrawing Party. The Parties also may meet and confer regarding issues
such as: (i) whether the ST-GSA, or one or more of the non-withdrawing
Parties, wishes to retain GSA status over the affected portion of the Basin;
(ii) whether to enter a co-GSA management or other arrangement with the
withdrawing Party; and (iii) whether to address the GSA issues in a different
manner. Any resolution of such and other GSA issues shall be undertaken
in a manner that satisfies all requirements of SGMA and DWR, including
any requirement to file new GSA notices.

XI. Notice Provisions

All notices required by this MOA shall be made in writing and delivered to the respective
representatives of the Parties at their respective addresses as follows:
