otherwise specifically defined herein, in which case the definition set forth herein shall govern
the Bonds issued under this Supplemental Indenture. The following terms, as used herein, have the
following meanings:
Called Principal means, with respect to any Series BBB Bond, the principal of such Series
BBB Bond that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Supplemental Indenture or has
become or is declared to be immediately due and payable under Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture,
as the context requires.
Closing Date means April 17, 2009.
Condemnation with respect to any property shall have occurred if all or any portion of such

other public body or agency or any other entity having the power of eminent domain or the right to
purchase or order the sale of such property (a Condemning Authority), or any third-party
designated by any such Condemning Authority, under threat of condemnation.
Corporate Trust Office means the office of the Trustee specified in the initial paragraph of
this Supplemental Indenture or any other office specified by the Trustee from time to time pursuant
to the provisions of the Base Indenture.
Discounted Value means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, the
amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called
Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied
on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Series BBB Bonds is payable) equal to
the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
Make-Whole Amount means, with respect to any Series BBB Bond, an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called
Principal of such Series BBB Bond over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the

or any similar rating agency.
Reinvestment Yield means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, .50%
over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on
the display designated as Page PX1 (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg
Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities
having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as
of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant
Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as

Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S.
Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date.
In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the
preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S.
Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice
and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity
closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury
security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment

Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to
the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB
Bond, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were
made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series BBB Bonds, then the amount of
the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to
such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 3.01 of
this Supplemental Indenture or under Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture, as the context requires.
Series BBB Bonds means the $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.77% First Mortgage
Bonds due November 1, 2028, Series BBB, authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental
Indenture.
Settlement Date means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, the date
on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Supplemental
Indenture or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable under Section 7.01 of the
Base Indenture, as the context requires.
Trustee means the Person named as the Trustee in the first paragraph of this Supplemental
Indenture until a successor Trustee shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of

ARTICLE II
CERTAIN TERMS AND ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES BBB BONDS
CERTAIN TERMS AND ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES BBB BONDS
SECTION 2.01. Designation of Series BBB Bonds.
The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental
Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Series BBB Bonds
and shall not apply to any other Bonds that have been or may be issued under the Base Indenture
unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Bonds specifically incorporates such
changes, modifications and supplements. Pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, there is hereby
designated a series of Bonds under the Base Indenture entitled 6.77% First Mortgage Bonds due
2028, Series BBB.
SECTION 2.02. Aggregate Principal Amount.
The aggregate principal amount of the Series BBB Bonds which may be authenticated and
delivered pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture is $20,000,000, except for Series BBB Bonds
authenticated and delivered in accordance with Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.18, 4.07 and 12.06 of the
Base Indenture.
SECTION 2.03. Form; Payment of Interest and Principal on Series BBB Bonds.
(a) General. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Article II, the Series BBB
Bonds shall be issued as Definitive Bonds substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto.
The Series BBB Bonds will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. To
the extent that any provision of the Definitive Bonds representing the Series BBB Bonds conflicts
with the express provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, this Supplemental
Indenture or the Base Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
(b) Payment of Interest and Principal on Series BBB Bonds. The Series BBB Bonds will mature
on November 1, 2028 and will bear interest at the rate of 6.77% per annum. Interest on the Series
BBB Bonds will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year to the
Holders thereof at the close of business on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15 of
each year. Interest on the Series BBB Bonds will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Closing Date; provided that for
purposes of the first Interest Payment Date after the Closing Date, interest shall also include
interest accrued but unpaid with respect to the Senior Unsecured Notes prior to the Closing Date.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Overdue principal (including any overdue required or optional prepayment of principal) and
premium, if any, and (to the extent legally enforceable) any overdue installment of interest shall
bear interest at the rate of 8.77% per annum after the date due, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, until paid. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any other
Event of Default under the Base Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, all amounts owing under
the Series BBB Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear additional interest at
the rate of 8.77% per annum.
(c) Payment of Make-Whole Amount upon Acceleration of Series BBB Bonds. Upon the acceleration
of the Series BBB Bonds pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture, such Series BBB Bonds shall
forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Bonds, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of the Called Principal (to the
full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and
every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived.
The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Holder of a Series BBB Bond has
the right to maintain its investment in the Series BBB Bonds free from repayment by the Company
(except as specifically provided for by the terms of the Series BBB Bonds), and that the provision
for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Series BBB Bonds are
prepaid or accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for
the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
6
SECTION 2.04. Parent Guarantee.
The obligations of the Company under the Series BBB Bonds shall be guaranteed by Parent, the
form of which guarantee is set forth in EXHIBIT D hereto.
SECTION 2.05. Transfer Expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, (i) the Company shall bear all
expenses in connection with the preparation, issue, delivery and transfers of the Series BBB Bonds,
(ii) if the Holder is an insurance company, its own agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
satisfactory indemnity and security when required or requested by the Company and (iii) in the case
of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Series BBB Bonds, the Company at its expense (including
payment by it of any governmental charges and other expenses, including those of the Trustee) shall
execute and deliver new Series BBB Bonds of like tenor and principal amount, dated and bearing
interest from the date to which interest has been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Series BBB Bond.

this Section 3.01.

received in connection with such Material Condemnation to the redemption of the principal amount of
the Series BBB Bonds then outstanding, or any portion thereof to the extent of such proceeds,

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SERIES BBB BONDS

No Bonds shall be issued under the Base Indenture for the purpose of providing funds for the
Company to keep or maintain the property pledged pursuant to the Base Indenture in good and
business-like working order and condition, or merely to replace or in substitution for old or
worn-out or abandoned property; provided, however, that whenever old or worn-out or abandoned
property is replaced by Substituted Property costing more than the original cost of the old or
worn-out or abandoned property then such replacement or substitution shall be permitted and the
7
excess of cost of such Substituted Property, and such excess only, shall be deemed Permanent
Improvements, Extensions or Additions, for which Bonds may be authenticated and delivered under
Section 2.02 of the Base Indenture.
SECTION 4.02. Maintenance, Repairs, Replacements and Depreciation Reserve.
The Company shall at all times maintain, preserve and keep or cause to be maintained,
preserved and kept the Mortgaged Property, and every part thereof, with the appurtenances and every
part and parcel thereof, in thorough repair, working order and condition, and from time to time
make or cause to be made all needful and proper repairs and renewals, replacements and
substitutions, and shall make adequate provision for replacement by proper and reasonable credits
to its reserve for depreciation, so that at all times the value of the Mortgaged Property and the
efficiency of the Mortgaged Property shall be fully preserved and maintained; and that it will
comply with all lawful requirements of the PUC with respect to maintenance and depreciation.
SECTION 4.03. Consent to Waiver of Event of Default under Other Series of Bonds.
No Event of Default with respect to any series of Bonds Outstanding under the Base Indenture

amount of the Outstanding Series BBB Bonds by means of a written instrument or instruments signed
by such Holders and delivered to the Trustee and the Company.
SECTION 4.04. Most Favored Nation Provision.
If the Company shall, at any time on or after the Closing Date, enter into, amend or modify
any supplemental indenture or other agreement with respect to a series of Bonds in a manner that
requires the Company to comply with or add a covenant, an event of default, a guarantee or
collateral that either is not at such time applicable to the Series BBB Bonds or, if such covenant,
event of default, guarantee or collateral shall already be applicable to the Series BBB Bonds, is,

CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY, a California corporation (the Company), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Series BBB Bond at the rate per annum shown above.
The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
Interest on the Series BBB Bonds will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Closing Date; provided that for purposes of the
first Interest Payment Date after the Closing Date, interest shall also include interest accrued
but unpaid with respect to the Senior Unsecured Notes prior to the Closing Date. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Overdue principal (including any overdue required or optional prepayment of principal) and
premium, if any, and (to the extent legally enforceable) any overdue installment of interest shall
bear interest at the rate of 8.77% per annum after the date due, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, until paid. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any other
Event of Default under the Base Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture, all amounts owing under

the rate of 8.77% per annum.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT
The Company shall pay interest on the Series BBB Bonds to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Series BBB Bonds at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately
preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Series BBB Bonds are canceled after the Record Date and
on or before the Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. However, all payments in respect of this Series BBB Bond (including principal, premium, if
any, and interest) must be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the Holder hereof. Payment shall be without the presentation or surrender of the
Series BBB Bonds or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the
Company or Trustee made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or redemption in
full of any Series BBB Bond, the Holder thereof shall surrender such Series BBB Bond for
cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive
office or to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR
Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the Trustee) shall act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the
Holders. The Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4. INDENTURE
The Company issued the Series BBB Bonds under an Indenture from California Water Service
Company to American Trust Company and Los Angeles-First National Trust & Savings Bank, as Trustees,
dated as of the 1st day of April, 1928 (the Original Base Indenture; as therefore supplemented,
amended and modified by the First through Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indentures, the Original
Indenture; the Original Indenture as amended and modified by the Thirty-ninth Supplemental
Indenture, and as subsequently amended, supplemented and modified, the Base Indenture), as
further supplemented by the Forty-fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 17, 2009, between
the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (as ultimate successor to American Trust Company and
Los Angeles-First National Trust & Savings Bank), as Trustee (as
A-4
subsequently amended, supplemented and modified, the Supplemental Indenture). The terms of
the Series BBB Bonds include those stated in the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture and
those made part of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture by reference to the TIA.
Terms defined in the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture and not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture. The Series BBB Bonds
are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Base Indenture, the Supplemental
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.
The Series BBB Bonds are secured obligations of the Company known generally as First Mortgage
Bonds.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION WITH PREMIUM
Upon compliance with the notice provisions set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture, the
Company shall have the privilege, at any time and from time to time, of redeeming the Outstanding
Series BBB Bonds, either in whole or in part (but if in part then in a minimum principal amount of
$100,000) by redemption of the principal amount of the Series BBB Bonds, or portion thereof to be
redeemed, and accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date, together with a premium equal to
the Make-Whole Amount, determined as of five Business Days prior to the Redemption Date pursuant to
this Section 3.01.
Called Principal means, with respect to any Series BBB Bond, the principal of such Series
BBB Bond that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or has become
or is declared to be immediately due and payable under Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture, as the
context requires.
Discounted Value means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, the
amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called
Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied
on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Series BBB Bonds is payable) equal to
the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
Make-Whole Amount means, with respect to any Series BBB Bond, an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called
Principal of such Series BBB Bond over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the
Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.
Reinvestment Yield means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, .50%
over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on
the display designated as Page PX1 (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg
Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities
having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as
of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant
Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as
of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S.
Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date.
In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the
preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S.
Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice
and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity
closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury
security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment
Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the
applicable Series BBB Bond.
A-5
Remaining Average Life means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years
(calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into
(ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining
Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to
the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB
Bond, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were
made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series BBB Bonds, then the amount of
the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to
such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 3.01 of
the Supplemental Indenture or under Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture, as the context requires.
Settlement Date means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series BBB Bond, the date
on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental
Indenture or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable under Section 7.01 of the
Base Indenture, as the context requires.
6. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AT PAR IN EVENT OF CONDEMNATION
In the event a Material Condemnation shall have occurred with respect to any property of the
Company, then upon compliance with the notice provisions set forth in Article IV of the Base
Indenture, the Company shall have the privilege of applying the proceeds of any condemnation award
received in connection with such Material Condemnation to the redemption of the principal amount of
the Series BBB Bonds then outstanding, or any portion thereof to the extent of such proceeds,
together with accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Any optional redemption made
pursuant to this Section shall be without premium.
Condemnation with respect to any property shall have occurred if all or any portion of such
property shall have been condemned or taken for any public or quasi-public use under any
governmental law, order, or regulation or by right of eminent domain or sold to a municipality or
other public body or agency or any other entity having the power of eminent domain or the right to
purchase or order the sale of such property (a Condemning Authority), or any third-party
designated by any such Condemning Authority, under threat of condemnation.
Material Condemnation shall mean any Condemnation of any property of the Company pursuant to
which a condemnation award in excess of $100,000 shall have been received by the Company.
7. NOTICES OF REDEMPTION
Notices of redemption shall (except in respect of redemptions made out of cash deposited in
the sinking fund described in Section 7 below) be provided in accordance with Article IV of the
Base Indenture. If less than all of the Series BBB Bonds are to be redeemed at any time, the
particular Series BBB Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with Article IV of the
Base Indenture. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Series BBB
Bonds or portions of them called for redemption.
8. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SERIES BBB BONDS
The provisions set forth in Article IV of the Supplemental Indenture are applicable only with
respect to, and govern only the terms of, the Series BBB Bonds and shall not apply to any other
Bonds that have been or may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with
respect to such other Bonds specifically incorporates such provisions.
A-6
9. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE
The Series BBB Bonds are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Series BBB Bonds in accordance with
the Base Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate transfer documents and to pay any taxes required
by law or permitted by the Base Indenture. The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Series BBB Bonds during a period beginning at the
opening of business calendar 15 days before the day of any selection of Series BBB Bonds for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Series BBB Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part,

Payment Date.
10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS
The registered Holder of this Series BBB Bond may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
11. UNCLAIMED MONEY
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed, the Paying Agent shall
pay the money back to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture.
12. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Base Indenture, the Company at any time may
terminate some or all of its obligations under the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture
with respect to the Series BBB Bonds if, among other things, the Company deposits with the Trustee
funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Series BBB Bonds to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.
13. AMENDMENT, WAIVER
The Base Indenture permits, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, that the Base
Indenture and the terms of the Bonds of a series, which include the Series BBB Bonds, and the
rights of the Holders of the Bonds of a series, which may include the Holders of the Series BBB
Bonds, in each case may be modified, with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds the terms of which or the rights of the Holders of which
are to be modified. The Base Indenture also permits certain other amendments, modifications or
waivers thereof only with the consent of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby, while certain
other amendments or modifications may be made without the consent of any Holders of Bonds.
The Base Indenture also provides the Holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) or
more of principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding of all such series under which an Event of
Default shall have occurred, which may include the Series BBB Bonds, may, by a written instrument
or instruments signed by such Holders and delivered to the Trustee and to the Company, waive any
past Default or Event of Default under such series of Bonds and its consequences except an Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Bonds as and
when the same shall become due by the terms of such Bonds, and upon such waiver such Default or
Event of Default shall be deemed not to exist for any purpose of the Base Indenture or such series
of Bonds.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Series BBB Bond shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Series BBB Bond and of any Series BBB
Bond issued in lieu of or exchange, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered by the Trustee
in pursuance thereof.
A-7
14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Events of Default are set forth in the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee upon the direction of Holders
of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds or
the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds, may, by notice in writing delivered to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by the Holders), declare the entire principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, premium, if any, and the
interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and said entire principal, premium, if any,
and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable.
Upon the acceleration of the Series BBB Bonds pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture,
such Series BBB Bonds shall forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Bonds,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of the
Called Principal (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and
payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of
which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Holder
of a Series BBB Bond has the right to maintain its investment in the Series BBB Bonds free from
repayment by the Company (except as specifically provided for by the terms of the Series BBB
Bonds), and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that
the Series BBB Bonds are prepaid or accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to
provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
Holders may not enforce the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture or the Series BBB Bonds
except as provided in the Base Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Base Indenture,
the Supplemental Indenture or the Series BBB Bonds unless it receives indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except a Default in payment of
principal or interest on any Bond, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment) if and so
long as Responsible Officers in good faith determine that withholding notice is in the interest of
the Holders.
15. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of the Series BBB Bonds and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
16. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or Parent shall
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Indenture, the Supplemental
Indenture or the Series BBB Bonds or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Series BBB Bonds waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the
Series BBB Bonds. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities of directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the
Commission that such waiver is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.
17. GOVERNING LAW
The Series BBB Bonds shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder,
except to the extent that the TIA shall be applicable.
A-8

EXHIBIT D
FORM OF PARENT GUARANTEE
GUARANTEE, dated as of (as amended from time to time, this
Guarantee), made by California Water Service Group, a Delaware corporation (the
Guarantor), in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (Trustee)
for the registered holders (the Holders) of the 5.29% First Mortgage Bonds due 2022,
Series GGG (collectively, the Bonds), of California Water Service Company, a California
corporation (the Issuer).
WITNESSETH:
SECTION 1. Guarantee. (a) The Guarantor hereby fully, absolutely, irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds (the Obligations), according to the terms of the Bonds and as more
fully described in the Indenture dated as of April 1, 1928 (as amended, modified or otherwise
supplemented from time to time, including the Thirty-ninth Supplemental Indenture and the Fortieth
Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture), between the Issuer and the Trustee, and any other
amounts payable by the Guarantor to the Holders under the Indenture. The Guarantors obligation to
make payment on the Obligations may be satisfied by direct payment of the required full and final
amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such full and final amounts
to the Holders.
(b) It is the intention of the Guarantor that this Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
this Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the amount guaranteed by the Guarantor under
this Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws, result in the Obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, Bankruptcy Law means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any
similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
(c) The Guarantor hereby covenants to comply with the provisions of Article XIII of the
Indenture.
SECTION 2. Guarantee Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of
Holders of the Bonds with respect thereto. The Guarantor assents to all the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Bonds and the Indenture. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee
shall be full, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of the
Indenture, the Bonds or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from the Indenture;
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the
Obligations;
(d) the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, or by the levy of any writ or
process of execution under such judgment, or by any action or proceedings taken by any Holder
under the Indenture, the Bonds or the Guarantee for the enforcement thereof or hereof;
(e) the consolidation or merger of the Issuer with or into any other corporation or any
sale, lease or other disposition of the Issuers properties as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to any other corporation;
(f) the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or
observance by the Issuer of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition
relating to the Bonds to be performed or observed by the Issuer;
D-1
(g) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of any portion of the Obligations
(other than an extension of time for payment of Obligations that results from the extension of
any interest payment period on the Bonds as provided in the Indenture), or the extension of
time for the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with,
the Bonds;
(h) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to
enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders
pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, or any action on the part of the Issuer granting
indulgence or extension of any kind;
(i) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition
or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the
assets of the Issuer;
(j) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Bonds;
(k) the settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred;
or
(l) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment of the underlying
obligation) and any other act or delay or failure to act, or by any other thing, which may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor, it being the intent of
this Section 2 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances.
There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain the consent of, the
Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.
SECTION 3. Subordination. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that its obligation to
make payments of the Obligations hereunder constitutes an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor
ranking (a) pari passu with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Guarantor and
(b) senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the
Guarantor.
SECTION 4. Waiver; Subrogation. (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of
redemption, notice of Event of Default and any other notice with respect to this Guarantee,
presentment, demand for payment or protest and all other demands and related notices, and any
requirement that the Trustee, or the Holders of any Bonds protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Issuer or any other Person or any collateral.
(b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of the Guarantors obligations under this Guarantee or the Indenture, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Trustee, or the Holders
of any Bonds against the Issuer or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right
to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off
or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any
amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to
the cash payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of any Bonds and
shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee, to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture and this Guarantee, or be held as collateral for any Obligations or other amounts
payable under this Guarantee thereafter arising.
(c) Guarantor further waives any and all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because
Issuers debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that: (1) Guarantor
waives any such defenses that may arise out of an election of remedies by Trustee, even though that
election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed
obligation, has destroyed Guarantors rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal
by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; (2)
Trustee may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property
collateral pledged by Issuer; (3) if Trustee forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by
Issuer,
D-2
then (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B)
Trustee may collect from Guarantor even if Trustee, by foreclosing on the real property collateral,
has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Issuer. The foregoing sentence is an
unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Issuers
debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses being waived by Guarantor include, but
are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other
provision hereof, Guarantor further expressly waives to the extent permitted by law any and all
rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California
Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or under California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.
(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and this Guarantee and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 5. Rights of Holders. The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that: (i) this
Guarantee will be deposited with the Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders; (ii) the
Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee on behalf of the Holders; and (iii) the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Bonds have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee in respect of this Guarantee or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Guarantee.
SECTION 6. Independent Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations
hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Bonds and that the
Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to pay the Obligations pursuant to
the terms of this Guarantee.
SECTION 7. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Trustee or any Holder
of the Bonds to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee; Transfer of Interest. This
Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall
