145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the registrant&#8217;s Board of
Directors to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant, in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its

submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This registration statement registers
shares issuable under the Cadiz Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Plan").
The Plan was approved by the
stockholders of the registrant at the registrant's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on December 14, 2009.  Employees, directors and
third party service providers will be eligible to participate in the
Plan.  The Plan has a term of ten (10) years.
The Plan authorizes the issuance of up
to 850,000 shares of the registrant's common stock.  Awards under the
Plan may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
and restricted stock units.  No more than 300,000 shares in the
aggregate may be awarded as full-share grants (stock or stock units) and no more
than 300,000 shares and share equivalents may be granted to any one participant
in a calendar year.
The Plan will be administered by the
registrant's Compensation Committee or another committee of the Board meeting
applicable independence requirements.  The Committee has full power
and authority to select participants and determine the specific terms and
conditions of each award.
The foregoing summary does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Plan (Exhibit 4.12 to this Registration Statement).

Item
6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the registrant's Board of
Directors to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant, in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The
registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and
officers of the registrant, and those serving at the request of the registrant
as directors, officers, employees, or agents of other entities (collectively,
"Agents"), to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Bylaws provide
that such indemnification (other than in an action by or in the right of the
registrant) shall be a contract right between each Agent and the
registrant.
The
registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
registrant shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The
registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that if the Delaware General
Corporation Law is subsequently amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law as
amended.  The registrant has also purchased a liability insurance
policy, which insures its directors and officers against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item
9.                 Undertakings.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)      (1)      To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)      To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii)      To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)      To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however,
that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement
is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)      That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3)      To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered, which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4)      [Intentionally
omitted]
(5)      That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i)      If the
registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b)      That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)      Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in

the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
