  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
  (e)           On June 13, 2014, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Keith Brackpool, our Chairman, and Timothy J. Shaheen, our Chief Financial Officer, updating their currently existing employment agreements.  These amended and restated agreements provide for a new base salary compensation structure for Messrs. Brackpool and Shaheen and establish milestone principles for future long-term incentive equity awards as described below.  These amended and restated employment agreements also contain benefit, termination and severance terms consistent with those in the existing employment agreements.
  The agreements for both Mr. Brackpool and Mr. Shaheen provide for their base cash compensation to be reduced for 2014, 2015 and 2016 in exchange for equity based salary in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that will vest ratably during these years.  Mr. Brackpool's salary will consist of $155,000 payable in cash and 20,000 RSUs in 2014, and $35,000 payable in cash and 40,000 RSUs in each of 2015 and 2016.   Mr. Shaheen's salary will consist of $275,000 payable in cash and 12,500 RSUs in 2014, and $200,000 payable in cash and 25,000 RSUs in each of 2015 and 2016.  Changes in salary compensation and issuance of the RSUs will take effect July 1, 2014.
  In addition, Mr. Brackpool and Mr. Shaheen will each receive a long-term equity incentive milestone award of 100,000 shares of our stock in the form of 100,000 RSUs that will vest once construction financing necessary for the implementation of the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery and Storage Project, as defined in the approved Final Environmental Impact Report, is secured.  These RSUs will be granted on July 1, 2014 and will expire on June 10, 2017, if the milestone has not been achieved by such date.

  --------------------------------
  (1)
  The affirmative "FOR" vote of a majority of those shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve the stockholder proposal.  In tabulating the voting result, abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes are not counted as votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" the proposal.  An abstention will, however, be counted as entitled to vote on a proposal and will, therefore, have the effect of a vote "AGAINST."  Applying this standard, the percentage in favor of the stockholder proposal is calculated by dividing the number of FOR votes by the sum of the number of FOR, AGAINST and ABSTAIN votes.
