will benefit very low-, low-, and moderate-income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; the
state's program may also include activities designed to meet other community development needs having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community
where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. Additionally, the state's program is subject to a
federal requirement that not less than seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate amount of CDBG funds received by the
state shall be used for the support of activities that benefit persons of very low-, low-, and moderate-income; and

include existing housing assisted with project based assistance provided under Section 8 of the United State Housing

available under subclause (i)to permit the household to secure participation in a housing
cooperative or mutual housing association;
d) Persons displaced shall be relocated into comparable replacement housing that is:
i) decent, safe, and sanitary;
ii) adequate in size to accommodate the occupants;
iii) functionally equivalent; and,
iv) in an area not subject to unreasonably adverse environmental conditions.
Persons displaced shall have the right to elect, as an alternative to the benefits under this paragraph, to receive
benefits under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, if
such persons determine that it is in their best interest to do so; and,where a claim for assistance under subparagraph
(d) is denied by the Contractor, the claimant may appeal to the State, and that the decision of the State shall be final

a) CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of such fee or assessment that relates to the capital
costs of such public improvements that are financed from revenue sources other than the CDBG program, or
b) for the purposes of assessing any amount against properties owned and occupied by persons of
moderate income who are not persons of very low-or low-income, it certifies that it lacks sufficient CDBG funds to

the work and services to be performed, a total amount not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($500,000). The method and time of payment shall be made in accordance with the"Payment Schedule" set forth
herein in EXHIBIT A. Any State funds not required for completion of the Project will be deobligated by the State

documents. Such discretionary audit may be requested at any time and for any reason from the effective date of this
Contract until five (5) years after the date final payment for this Project is received by the Contractor, provided that the

Contractor shall include the Project in its annual audit report as required by the Colorado Local Government Audit
Law, C.R.S. 1973, 29-1-601, et seq and the Single Audit Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-156, and Federal and State

a) Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto expressly recognize that the Contractor is
to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with federal CDBG funds provided to the State for the purpose of

understands and agrees that all its rights, demands and claims to compensation arising under this Contract are
contingent upon receipt of such funds by the State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not received
by the State, the State may immediately terminate or amend this Contract.
b) Termination for Cause. In accordance with 24 CFR Part 85.44, suspension or termination may
occur if the Contractor materially fails to comply with any term of the Contract, or, in the State's discretion, the
Contract may be terminated for convenience. If, through any cause, the Contractor shall fail to fulfill in a timely and
proper manner its obligations under this Contract, or if the Contractor shall violate any of the covenants, agreements,
or stipulations of this Contract, the State shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Contract for cause by giving
written notice to the Contractor of such termination and specifying the effective date thereof, at least five (5)days
before the effective date of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies,
surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other material prepared by the Contractor under this
Contract shall, at the option of the State, become its property, and the Contractor shall be entitled to receive just and
equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed on such documents and other materials.

sustained by the State by virtue of any breach of the Contract by the Contractor, and the State may withhold any

payments to the Contractor for the purpose of offset until such time as the exact amount of damages due the State
from the Contractor is determined.

effective date thereof, at least twenty (20)days before the effective date of such termination. All finished or unfinished
documents and other materials as described in subparagraph 16.b)above shall, at the option of the State, become its
property. If the Contract is terminated by the State as provided herein, the Contractor will be paid an amount which
bears the same ratio to the total compensation as the services actually performed bear to the total services of the
Contractor covered by this Contract, less payments of compensation previously made: Provided, however, that if less
than sixty percent(60%)of the services covered by this contract have been performed upon the effective date of such
termination, the Contractor shall be reimbursed (in addition to the above payment)for that portion of the actual out-of-
pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Contract) incurred by the Contractor during the Contract period
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of the services covered by this Contract. If this Contract is
terminated due to the fault of the Contractor, subparagraph 16.b) hereof relative to termination shall apply.

interest in the party or firm selected for award. Officers, employees or agents of the Contractor and its subcontractors
shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from parties or potential parties to
contracts. Unsolicited items provided as gifts are not prohibited if the intrinsic value of such items is nominal.
b) In All Cases Other Than Procurement. In all cases other than procurement (including the provision
of housing rehabilitation assistance to individuals, the provision of assistance to businesses, and the acquisition and
disposition of real property), no persons described in subparagraph i) below who exercise or have exercised any
functions or responsibilities with respect to CDBG activities or who are in a position to participate in a decision-making
process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, may obtain a personal or financial interest or benefit
from the activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds
thereunder, either for themselves or those with whom they have family or business ties, during their tenure for one
year thereafter.
i) Persons Covered. The conflict of interest provisions of this subparagraph 19.b)apply to any person
who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected official or appointed official of the Contractor or of
any designated public agencies or subcontractors receiving CDBG funds.
ii) Threshold Requirements for Exceptions. Upon the written request of the Contractor, the State may
grant an exception to the provisions of this subparagraph 19.b)when it determines that such an exception will
serve to further the purposes of the CDBG program and the effective and efficient administration of the
Contractor's Project. An exception may be considered only after the Contractor has provided the following:
a) A disclosure of the nature of the conflict, accompanied by an assurance that:
i. there has been or will be a public disclosure of the conflict and a description of how the
public disclosure was or will be made; and
ii. the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the
decision-making process with respect to the specific CDBG-assisted activity in question; and
b) An opinion of the Contractor's attorney that the interest for which the exception is sought would
not violate State or local law; and
6
c) A written statement signed by the chief elected official of the Contractor holding the State
harmless from all liability in connection with any exception which may be granted by the State
to the provisions of this subparagraph 19.b);
Hi) Factors to be Considered for Exceptions. In determining whether to grant a requested exception
after the Contractor has satisfactorily met the requirements of subparagraph 19.b) ii)above, the State shall
consider the cumulative effect of the following factors, where applicable:
a) Whether the exception would provide a significant cost benefit or an essential degree of
expertise to the Project which would otherwise not be available;
b) Whether an opportunity was provided for open competitive bidding or negotiation;
c) Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of low- or moderate-income
persons intended to be beneficiaries of the CDBG-assisted activity, and the exception will
permit such person to receive generally the same benefits as are being made available or
provided to the group or class;
d) Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position as
described in this subparagraph 19.b);
e) Whether undue hardship will result either to the Contractor or the person affected when
weighted against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and
f) Any other relevant considerations.

and any subcontractors shall strictly adhere to all applicable Federal and State laws, orders, and all applicable

world. Recently, the Company purchased the Reynolds Feedlot in Weld County. This
purchase has positioned AOD to plan the construction of a 28,815 square foot processing
plant dedicated to solely processing and packaging organic milk. AOD's plant will be the
first 100%organic milk plant in America. Funding for AOD's facilities and operations will
be through a combination of debt, equity, and equipment leases.

moderate income persons. In the event more than thirty-five (35) per-
manent full-time jobs are created, Contractor and AOD shall ensure that

3
as utilizing Job Training Services, maintaining copies of public

(particularly in liquidation/default situations).
i. The Agreement shall require AOD to repay Contractor for CDBG funds

condition contained in this Exhibit A, Scope of Services. In the event
AOD fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this
Contract or breaches any of the representations,warranties,or covenants
contained in this Contract, then such failure to comply or such breach
shall be a material event of default and shall entitle the State(through the
Contractor) to enforce all the rights and remedies contained in this
4
Contract, the exercise of which rights and remedies shall be at the sole
discretion of the State and may be pursued singly, successively or
together against AOD. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of such rights or
remedies or the right to exercise them at any later date.
In the event AOD does not build its new processing plant and expand its
operations as set forth herein or fails to comply with all of the terms and
conditions of this Contract,AOD agrees to repay the amount determined
by the Governor's Financial Review Committee at the State unless
liquidated damages have been clearly specified within this contract for
the type of breach that occurred. In the event that the Governor's
Financial Review Committee no longer exists,the State will designate an
alternative entity to make such determinations. Interest and legal costs,
incurred by the State in making its determination and in collecting the
repayment of such funds, may be added to the amount of the grant to be
repaid. The amount of the grant to be repaid shall be determined by the
Governor's Financial Review Committee after providing AOD with an
opportunity to provide its perspective and after a thorough evaluation of
the overall circumstances. The amount must necessarily be determined
by the Governor's Financial Review Committee on a case by case basis;
however,the Governor's Financial Review Committee shall consider the
level of performance deficiency in making its determination unless at
least 51%of all job positions created are not filled with low-to-moderate
income persons. In the event that 51% of all job positions created by
AOD are not filled with low-to-moderate income persons, AOD will be
required to repay all grant funds as described within this contract. In no
event shall the amount of the grant to be repaid exceed the amount of
funds actually disbursed to Contractor from this contract plus any
additional interest and legal costs described herein. The Notice of
Alleged Breach shall state the date when repayments are due and any
other terms regarding such repayment of funds.
Interest shall accrue at the prime interest rate stated in the Wall Street
Journal on the date that the Governor's Financial Review Committee
issues a Notice of Breach to AOD. All interest calculations shall be made
on a simple interest basis. Interest shall be calculated for the period of
non-compliance as determined by the Governor's Financial Review
Committee. The Notice of Breach shall contain the period of non-
compliance as determined by the Governor's Financial Review
Committee.
AOD shall ensure that any changes in its ownership structure results in
5
AOD continuing to assume full responsibility for the obligations
described in this agreement. Otherwise,AOD shall repay Contractor,for
CDBG funds expended (plus applicable interest and legal costs as
described within this contract). Such liquidation damages shall become
due and owing at the time ownership is transferred. Any approved

6
specifies the number of full-time equivalent positions that such businesses are
committing to create/retain and which specifies that 51%of all full-time equivalent
positions created/retained by such businesses will be filled by low-to-moderate
income persons. A full-time job is defined as one in which the employee certifies
that his or her primary income is derived from the identified job position.
The monitoring period shall begin with the effective date of the state's contract and

wage scales) of the full-time equivalent permanent positions to be created with a
breakout of those positions which are expected to be filled by low-to-moderate
income persons;ii)identification of those positions that can only be filled by persons
with substantial training, work experience or education beyond high school and a
statement from such businesses that each respective business will agree to hire, and
train as necessary, low-to-moderate income persons for these positions; iii) a
proposed schedule for the creation of the committed positions; and iv) provisions
requiring written records to be kept and reports to be made regarding the documen-
tation of low-to-moderate income benefit and beneficiaries by race,ethnicity,gender,
and handicap status in the same manner and to the same extent as Department
requires of Contractor [which shall include the quarterly submittal of such
businesses'payroll list and employee income certification forms for every employee
on the payroll list to Contractor]. Such agreements shall strongly encourage such
businesses to additionally document (and retain at its offices) its low-to-moderate
income hiring efforts(such as utilizing Job Training Services,maintaining copies of
public advertisements which contain an offer to train low-to-moderate income
persons for employment positions offered by such businesses, maintaining a log of
"self-identified" low-to-moderate income persons who applied for open employment
positions and the reasons for not hiring, etc.).

EXHIBIT B
Effective March 2003
MAXIMUM INCOMES FOR"LOW-INCOME"AND"MODERATE-INCOME"HOUSEHOLDS--in current(2002)dollars
(to be used only for CDBG projects funded under the 1988 and subsequent CDBG Program Guidelines)
"Low Income"is defined as being 50%of area median income. "Moderate Income"is defined as being 80%of area median income.
Persons whose current household incomes do not exceed these maximum income limits are considered to be low and moderate income(LMI)persons in the
CDBG program. CDBG grantees and applicants whose projects involve the individual selection and qualification of beneficiaries based on their current incomes
(as is the case in housing rehabilitation,job creation and other"direct benefit"projects)must use these income limits in determining whether beneficiaries are
LMI persons. CDBG grantees and applicants using Department-approved surveys to obtain information on the current incomes of project beneficiaries must use
these income limitsto estimate the LMI benefit of project activities.

RE: Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Assistance In Support
Of Aurora Organic Dairy, Inc. ("AOD")
Dear Chairman Masden:
It is my pleasure to inform you that the Governor's Financial Review
Committee has approved a CDBG grant of up to $500,000 to Weld County.
In consideration of this funding, Aurora Organic Dairy, Inc. has committed to
expand its facilities and construct a certified organic raw milk production
facility in Weld County and create a minimum of 35 new full-time positions in
Colorado, with a minimum of 51% of such positions being filled with low-to-
moderate income persons. The CDBG funds will be used to construct public
infrastructure needed to support AOD's operations.
Enclosed is Weld County's contract for your review. Exhibit A, Scope of
Services should be reviewed carefully. Please sign all four original contracts
and have the contracts attested by Weld County's Secretary or the
equivalent person to that position. Please return all four original contracts
with signatures to me so that the contracts can be forwarded to the
Department of Local Affairs (DOLA)for processing. Please do not date the
contracts.
You should be aware that no expenses may be incurred before a contract is
fully executed by all parties (including the state). Additionally, federal
regulations prohibit local grantees from obligating CDBG funds or incurring
costs for project activities until a formal release of funds process has been
properly followed by the grantee and approved by the state. This release of
funds process involves a thorough review of the proiect's possible
environmental impact and compliance with other federal regulations.
