(“Dr. Phosphate”); on the one hand, and Basin Water-MPT, Inc. (“BWMPT”); Basin Water, Inc. (“BWI”); Robert Gorgol (“Gorgol”); Robert Stark; and Michael Stark; on the other hand.

WHEREAS, Process Water, Veolia, Clean Water, and Dr. Phosphate (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) have brought claims against BWMPT, BWI, Gorgol, Robert Stark, and Michael Stark (collectively, “Defendants”) asserting, among other things, that Defendants have acted to misappropriate and use to their own benefit certain claimed confidential information, trade secrets, and other intellectual property allegedly owned by one or more of the Plaintiffs and protected from disclosure to or use by Defendants, and subsequently filed an action styled Process Water Solutions, LLC; Veolia Water North America Operating Services, LLC; Clean Water Technologies, LLC; and Dr. Phosphate, Inc. v. Basin Water-MPT, Inc.; Robert Gorgol; Robert Stark; Basin Water, Inc.; and Michael Stark, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Case No. 8:07CV1944-T24-MSS (the “Litigation”); and

WHEREAS, Defendants have denied all of the material allegations made by Plaintiffs in the Litigation, contend that they have not misappropriated or used any claimed trade secrets, confidential information, or other protected intellectual property allegedly owned by one or more of the Plaintiffs, and have, as to some of them, counterclaimed seeking, among other things, a declaration of rights regarding the claimed intellectual property and an award of attorneys’ fees; and

WHEREAS, in order to avoid further protracted and expensive litigation, the parties now desire to compromise and resolve all claims and controversies which exist between Plaintiffs and Defendants in regard to matters related to the Litigation, including all claims set out in the Litigation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by all parties, the parties as undersigned agree as follows:

Defendants shall make or cause to be made one joint payment of Five Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($575,000.00) to Plaintiffs. Payment shall be made in the form of one or more draft(s) made payable on a joint basis to all Plaintiffs, and such draft(s) will be delivered to counsel for PWS within ten (10) business days of this Settlement Agreement becoming effective and not subject to any condition or contingency, including that hereinafter set forth in Paragraph 3 related to action of the court in the Litigation. It shall be the responsibility of the Plaintiffs to apportion and distribute the foregoing payment amount among themselves as they deem appropriate, and Plaintiffs, on a joint and several basis, will indemnify and hold harmless all Defendants with respect to any claim or controversy that may arise with respect to the apportionment and distribution of the foregoing payment amount.

Plaintiffs, for themselves and their predecessors and successors, hereby release and discharge Defendants, together with their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, insurers, attorneys and affiliated companies, from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, attorneys’ fees, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, demands or liabilities whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which Plaintiffs ever had, now have, or might in the future have against any of the foregoing based upon facts occurring up to the effective date of this Settlement Agreement and related to the subject matter of the Litigation. This release specifically includes, without limitation, any claims which were asserted or could have been asserted in the Litigation, but excludes obligations arising under this Settlement Agreement.

Defendants, for themselves and their predecessors and successors, hereby release and discharge Plaintiffs, together with their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, insurers, attorneys and affiliated companies, from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, attorneys’ fees, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, demands or liabilities whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which Defendants ever had, now have, or might in the future have against any of the foregoing based upon facts occurring up to the effective date of this Settlement Agreement and related to the subject matter of the Litigation.

This release specifically includes, without limitation, any claims which were asserted or could have been asserted in the Litigation with the exception of any claim by the parties with respect to a declaration of rights to intellectual property allegedly owned by one or more of the Plaintiffs. The scope of this release excludes obligations arising under this Settlement Agreement, and this release does not apply to claims based upon any conduct occurring after the execution of this Settlement Agreement, even if such conduct is purportedly a continuation of conduct occurring prior to such execution.

In addition to the releases set out above in this Paragraph 2, Plaintiffs agree to obtain and deliver to counsel for Defendants release riders executed by Vaughn Astley, Gwen Astley, Dennis Michalski and Donald Luke in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Plaintiffs acknowledge, represent, and warrant that the consideration being provided by Defendants pursuant to this Settlement Agreement will have direct benefit to, and constitutes valuable and adequate consideration to, said persons with respect to their giving of the subject release riders. Said executed release riders shall be delivered to counsel for Defendants within five (5) business days of execution of this Settlement Agreement by all parties to the Litigation and shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement. Said release riders shall be held in escrow by counsel for Defendants and not released to Defendants until this Settlement Agreement becomes effective and not subject to any condition or contingency, including that hereinafter set forth in Paragraph 3 related to action of the court in the Litigation.

The parties agree that, in the event any party to this Settlement Agreement is made the object of a claim purportedly released via this Settlement Agreement, and provided the person or entity asserting the claim is claiming by or through the releasing party through an assignment or other intentional act of the releasing party, then such releasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the party

made the object of the claim, including payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses. Plaintiffs represent and warrant that, as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, they have no knowledge of a basis for the assertion of any claim by Plaintiffs, or any of them, against Defendants, or any of them, except as set forth in the Litigation.

On or immediately after the last date of any party’s signature hereto, counsel for the parties shall execute that certain Stipulated Final Injunction and Order of Dismissal (“Injunction and Dismissal”) attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and shall petition the court in the Litigation to enter the Injunction and Dismissal. Notwithstanding anything else in this Settlement Agreement, the effectiveness and of this Settlement Agreement, including executed releases in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” is conditioned upon entry by the court of the Injunction and Dismissal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. Absent such entry, this Settlement Agreement shall have no force or effect. Should the court fail to enter the Injunction and Dismissal on or before the sixtieth (60^th) day following the effective date of this Settlement Agreement, this Settlement Agreement shall terminate.

Prior to the initiation by one or more Plaintiffs of any litigation involving any of the Defendants in relation to a claimed violation of this Settlement Agreement or the intellectual property rights of any Plaintiff, written notice of demand shall be sent to the appropriate Defendants and to their counsel at the addresses provided below. If the involved parties have failed to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days after the notice of demand is delivered, the involved parties shall submit the dispute to good faith mediation, which shall be completed within the next thirty (30) days and before any litigation is commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any party is threatened with genuine and immediate irreparable harm by another party in relation to a claimed violation of this Settlement Agreement, such party may seek immediate injunctive relief, but the notice and mediation requirements of this paragraph 5 shall otherwise remain applicable.

All parties shall bear all of their respective costs and expenses associated with the Litigation, including but not limited to filing and attorneys’ fees.

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

TAMPA DIVISION

PROCESS WATER SOLUTIONS, LLC,

et al.,

Plaintiffs,

Case No. 8:07-CV-1944-T-33MSS

vs.

BASIN WATER, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

                                         /

STIPULATED FINAL INJUNCTION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiffs and Defendants, acting by and through their undersigned respective counsel of record, hereby consent to the entry of this Stipulated Final Injunction and Order of Dismissal (“Injunction”) in the above-styled action.

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have brought claims against Defendants asserting, among other things, that Defendants have acted to misappropriate and use to their own benefit certain claimed confidential information, trade secrets, and other intellectual property allegedly owned by one or more of the Plaintiffs and protected from disclosure or use by Defendants.

WHEREAS, Defendants have denied all of the material allegations made by Plaintiffs, contend that they have not misappropriated or used any claimed trade secrets, confidential information, or other protected intellectual property allegedly owned by one or more of Plaintiffs, and have counterclaimed seeking, among other things, a declaration of rights regarding the claimed intellectual property and an award of attorneys’ fees.

WHEREAS, neither Defendants nor any of their parent, subsidiary, or affiliate companies presently intend to enter into or continue any business relationship with any member of the Phosphate Industry involving any project related to the treatment of phosphate-laden process pond water in a manner designed to yield a saleable phosphate byproduct or otherwise recover the soluble phosphorous for beneficial uses; as used herein “Phosphate Industry” is defined as including USAC, Mosaic, CF, PCS, Mississippi Phosphates, Agrium, Agrifos, Simplot, OCP, FosFertil, Bunge, PhosCan, and any other company that produces phosphate or processes any waters containing residues or residuals from phosphate industry sources;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Injunction to avoid the further expense of litigation, and do so without any admission of liability.

WHEREAS, this Injunction, effective for five (5) years from the date of its entry, does not supersede nor prejudice the rights or remedies afforded any party at law or equity as to any alleged wrongs that may occur subsequent to the entry of this order.

In consideration of the foregoing, the consent of all parties as indicated below, and for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED follows:

1. Defendants, their subsidiaries, parent companies, or affiliate companies, and any of their officers, employees, agents, servants, attorneys or other persons in active concert or participation with any of the Defendants who receive actual notice of this Injunction and are acting with regard to any project related to the treatment of phosphate-laden process pond water in a manner designed to yield a saleable phosphate byproduct or otherwise recover the soluble phosphorous for beneficial uses, shall be and are hereby enjoined from disclosing or using intellectual property meeting all of the following criteria: (a) in existence and owned by one or more of the Plaintiffs as of the date of the filing of this action and (b) fitting within the general process description first set out below. Defendants do not concede that Plaintiffs, or any of them, enjoy rights to any of the subject intellectual property, but acknowledge Plaintiffs’ contention, that the subject intellectual property fits within the following general process description:

That certain process, or processes, described in Provisional Patent Application No. 60/597630 as such existed when filed with the United States Patent Office on December 14, 2005, together with all modifications and amendments thereto which were filed or prepared for filing in attorney work product form, on or before May 9, 2007.

A complete copy of the modifications or amendments prepared for filing in work product form shall be sworn to be such by authorized representatives of Plaintiffs and maintained in a sealed envelope at Fee & Jeffries, P.A., as a condition to the effectiveness of this Injunction. Further, Plaintiffs acknowledge that the subject intellectual property does not fit within the following general process description:

Neutralization of phosphate pond water utilizing a three stage process with precipitation of mono-, di-, or tri-calcium phosphate from the various stages of neutralization, as well as any other process to produce or purify mono-, di-, or tri-calcium phosphate material from phosphate pond water outside of the process description (relating to Provisional Patent Application No. 60/597630) first set forth above in this Paragraph 1.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the general process description described in this paragraph 1 shall be referenced hereinafter as the “Subject Process.” Plaintiffs, or any of them, may seek relief under this paragraph in the manner, and only in the manner, described in paragraph 2, below. Nothing in this Paragraph 1 or otherwise set forth in this Injunction shall preclude a non-party to this action from seeking to dissolve this Injunction as to such non-party based upon due process or other rights held by such non-party.

2. Third-Party Neutral.

(A) Subsequent to the expiration of the one (1) year period set forth in Paragraph 4 below, and prior to the expiration of this Injunction, should Defendants, or any of them, desire to utilize any process involving the treatment of phosphate-laden process pond water in a manner designed to yield a saleable phosphate byproduct or otherwise recover the soluble phosphorous for beneficial uses (hereinafter, “Pond Water Sales”), they must first utilize the Third-Party Neutral process described in this paragraph. Specifically, within fifteen (15) days prior to entering into any agreement (formal or informal) with any member of the Phosphate Industry regarding the testing or implementation of any system related to Pond Water Sales or any commercial implementation (whichever occurs first), Defendants, or any of them, shall notify Plaintiffs of the fact of such agreement or intent to undertake commercial implementation (the “Notifying Defendants”). With respect to any such agreement with a non-member of the Phosphate Industry, notice shall not be required and the Third-Party Neutral process described in this paragraph shall not apply, but Defendants may proceed under such agreement only upon such non-member (or if an entity, the chief executive officer or managing partner) swearing in writing and under oath an acknowledgment that it is bound by this Injunction. When required, notice shall be given in writing and delivered to the Plaintiffs via an officer, director, similar such office holder, or registered agent for the receipt of legal service, and notice shall be effective upon receipt provided the Plaintiffs have provided adequate current contact information to Defendants, and upon issuing to the last know address in the event Plaintiffs have failed to provide adequate contact information. Upon such notice, Plaintiffs, or any of them, may demand within five (5) business days that the Notifying Defendants submit the technical specifications

for the proposed agreement or commercial implementation to the Third-Party Neutral, who shall be selected in the manner described below. Such demand shall be in writing and delivered to the Notifying Defendants at the location specified in the Notifying Defendants’ notice. Defendants so notified must submit the technical specifications to the Third-Party Neutral within three (3) business days of such notice. Further, within three (3) business days of such notice, Plaintiffs must submit the technical specifications for the Subject Process to the Third-Party Neutral. The Third-Party Neutral shall keep Defendants’ technical specifications, as well as the Subject Process, confidential, including but not limited to from the other parties.

(B) Within seven (7) days from receiving the technical specifications set forth in paragraph 2(A), the Third-Party Neutral shall determine and inform the parties in writing whether reasonable cause exists to believe that the Defendants’ technical specifications are substantially similar to the Subject Process. If reasonable cause is found to exist, then Defendants must refrain from any commercial implementation or use of the technical specifications at issue for a period of thirty (30) days after the Third-Party Neutral renders his/her decision provided such decision is rendered as called for in this Paragraph 2. Conversely, if the Third-Party Neutral does not find reasonable cause, then Defendants may proceed with the commercial use and implementation of the technical specifications at issue seven (7) days after the Third-Party Neutral renders his/her decision. The parties agree that the Third-Party Neutral’s finding of reasonable cause (or finding of no reasonable cause) shall not be admissible or carry any weight in any court proceeding, except for enforcement of waiting periods described in this paragraph 2(B).

(C) The parties hereby select the American Arbitration Association as the body to oversee the appointment of the Third-Party Neutral. In the event a Third-Party Neutral shall become necessary, the parties shall immediately request that the American

Arbitration Association select an individual from its panel of arbitrators who specializes in intellectual property disputes, such individual being subject to challenge by the parties on grounds of conflict of interest only. The parties shall share the fees and costs of the Third-Party Neutral’s services equally.

(D) During the time period between Plaintiffs’ notice pursuant to paragraph 2(A) and the Third-Party Neutral’s decision, as called for by paragraph 2(B), Defendants shall not proceed with the commercial use and implementation of the technical specifications at issue.

3. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Injunction except the Third-Party Neutral process described above, in the event there should ever be a litigated dispute or other dispute about one or more Defendants’ ability to use or commercialize in any fashion any process or intellectual property claimed to fall within the scope of the Subject Process, nothing in this Injunction, including the provisions of paragraph 1, above, shall operate to relieve the person or entity opposing such use or commercialization by one or more of the Defendants of any otherwise existing burden of establishing currently held rights in the subject process or intellectual property sufficient to preclude the use or commercialization intended by one or more of the Defendants. For purposes of this subparagraph 3, Defendants shall be defined to include Defendants as well as their subsidiaries, parent companies, affiliate companies and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, and any of their officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or other agents.

4. For a period of one (1) year following the entry of this Injunction, Defendants, theft subsidiaries, parent companies, or affiliate companies, and any of their officers, employees, agents, servants, attorneys or other persons in active concert or participation with any of the Defendants who receive actual notice of this Injunction and are acting with regard to any project related to the

treatment of phosphate-laden process pond water in a manner designed to yield a saleable phosphate byproduct or otherwise recover the soluble phosphorous for beneficial uses, shall be and hereby are enjoined from, directly or indirectly, soliciting, contacting, or contracting with any member of the Phosphate Industry for purposes of engaging in any project related to the treatment of phosphate-laden process pond water in a manner designed to yield a saleable phosphate byproduct or otherwise recover the soluble phosphorous for beneficial uses.
