As earlier reported, on June 30, 2008, Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into the second amendment of the Company’s employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Frederick W. McTaggart, pursuant to which Mr. McTaggart serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  Pursuant to the terms of the amended Employment Agreement, Mr. McTaggart’s bonus was determined, at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and was paid in an amount not to exceed 100% of Mr. McTaggart’s then-current base salary (“Base Salary”).

The amount of the annual bonus, if any, was to be calculated by the Board of Directors based upon their assessment of the performance of Mr. McTaggart in the following areas: (a) the Company achieving its budgeted net income and earnings per share targets; (b) Mr. McTaggart facilitating the Company’s revenue growth through project extensions and new projects; (c) the Company staying within the approved capital expenditure budgets for operations, project extensions and new projects; (d) Mr. McTaggart fostering excellent communications with the Board of Directors and being receptive to input from the Board of Directors; (e) Mr. McTaggart executing any special projects as assigned by the Board of Directors; and (f) the development and maintenance of excellent customer relations.

On September 9, 2009, the Company entered into the third amendment of the Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Mr. McTaggart.  Under the terms of the Amendment, Mr. McTaggart will be paid an annual bonus in an amount not to exceed 100% of Mr. McTaggart’s Base Salary, calculated as follows:  (a) 25% of Base Salary if the Company achieves its budgeted net income excluding operations in the British Virgin Islands for 2009; (b) 25% of Base Salary if the Company exceeds “Adjusted Revenues,” as defined in the Amendment; (c) 25% of Base Salary if the Company improves its “Income from Operations Margin,” as defined in the Amendment; and (d)   25% of Base Salary if the Company completes projects under the capital budget and on schedule.  Mr. McTaggart’s Base Salary for the financial year ending December 31, 2009 is $388,200.

None of the other terms of the Employment Agreement were modified in any material respect.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
