application with the OWRB to finance the project. The OWRB approved the loan on January 11,
2000. This is an interim construction loan for an amount not to exceed $2,620,000 at 4.25%
interest, plus an administrative fee of .5% on the outstanding balance. A written acceptance of
the Letter of Binding Commitment is required by the OWRB, showing that the OPWA Trustees
