AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of CAA Interest. CAA Seller hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably sells, transfers, assigns and conveys to Pure Cycle, and Pure Cycle hereby purchases
and accepts from CAA Holder, all of its right, title and interest in and to CAA, including without
limitation: (i) the right of CAA Holder to receive monies and other property or assets due and to
become due to the CAA Holder pursuant to the CAA (including, without limitation, the CAA Holder
Gross Proceeds) and (ii) all rights of the CAA Holder to compel performance and otherwise exercise
all remedies thereunder (collectively, the Transferred Interest). Pure Cycle hereby assumes all
of the obligations, liabilities, responsibilities and commitments of the CAA Holder under the CAA.
2. Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale of the Transferred Interests, Pure
Cycle hereby agrees to issue and deliver 47,398 shares of common stock of Pure Cycle (the PC
Shares) to CAA Holder. The PC Shares shall bear the legend restricting transfer set forth in
Section 8 hereof.
3. Effect of Purchase. Upon issuance to the CAA Holder of the PC Shares, all rights
of the CAA Holder relating in any way to the CAA will be owned by Pure Cycle. Pure Cycle and CAA
Holder agree that this Agreement constitutes an assignment to Pure Cycle of all of the CAA Holders
rights, title and interest in and to the CAA as of the date hereof, and that as of the date hereof
the CAA Holder shall cease to possess any rights with respect to the CAA.
4. Representations and Warranties of the CAA Holders.
(a) Authority. The CAA Holder represents that it has all requisite right, power, and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement; this Agreement has
been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the CAA Holder; and this Agreement is
the valid and binding obligation of the CAA Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, redemption, reinstatement, and
other laws affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally or (ii) general principles of
equity.
(b) Ownership. The Transferred Interest represents the entire interest of the CAA
Holder under the CAA. The CAA Holder owns the Transferred Interest and passes to Pure Cycle good
and marketable title to the Transferred Interest, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge,
option, adverse interest, charge or assessment of any kind (a Lien). The CAA holder represents
that it has not taken any action to sell or otherwise transfer the Transferred Interest, to
mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber the Transferred Interest, or to grant any Lien on the
incidents of ownership of the Transferred Interest, including any right of first offer or other
contractual obligation.
(c) No Conflicts. The CAA Holder represents that the execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Agreement does not and will not (i) conflict with, violate, result in a
breach of or constitute a default under any agreement, instrument or obligation to which such CAA
Holder is a party or by which it is bound; (ii) conflict with or violate any order, judgment,
decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the CAA Holder; (iii) result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien against or upon the Transferred Interest; or (iv) require any consent,
approval or authorization of, or filing with, any governmental authority or any other third party.
(d) Investment Representations. The CAA Holder understands that the valuation of
interests in the CAA and the common stock of Pure Cycle is uncertain and that such value derives
significantly from future transactions and developments that are largely unknown and unknowable.
The CAA Holder acknowledges that the consideration being paid hereunder represents the result of an
arms length negotiation between Pure Cycle and the CAA Holder and represents the fair market value
of the Transferred Interest. The CAA Holder has read and understands the public filings made by
Pure Cycle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In addition, the CAA
Holder has been given the opportunity to solicit from Pure Cycle all information relevant to
valuation of rights under the CAA and regarding Pure Cycles business and operations and has
received all the information requested. The CAA Holder has made an investigation of the pertinent
facts related to Pure Cycle, the PC Shares, and the likelihood of payment under the CAA and has
reviewed all information regarding Pure Cycle to the extent it deems necessary in order to be fully
informed with respect thereto. The CAA Holder is an accredited investor within the meaning of
Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and is knowledgeable
and experienced in securities, financial and business matters and in transactions of this nature,
and has made its own assessment of the value of the PC Shares and of its rights under the CAA. The
CAA Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this transaction and is able to bear a
complete loss of the investment in the PC Shares. The CAA Holder understands that subsequent
events may prove that values of interests in the CAA were higher or lower than the valuation
indicated by the PC Shares paid hereunder.
-2-
(e) Restricted Stock. The CAA Holder represents that it has been advised and
understands that the PC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws and that the PC Shares are being issued in reliance upon exemptions from such
registration requirements. The CAA Holder acknowledges that the PC Shares are restricted
securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and
may not be sold or transferred by the CAA Holder unless such PC Shares are subsequently registered
under that act and applicable state securities laws or are transferred pursuant to an exemption
from such registration requirements.
5. Representations and Warranties of Pure Cycle.
(a) Authority. Pure Cycle has all corporate right, power, and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by Pure Cycle. This Agreement is the valid and binding
obligation of Pure Cycle, enforceable against Pure Cycle in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, redemption, reinstatement, and other laws affecting
the rights or remedies of creditors generally or (ii) general principles of equity.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Pure Cycle of this
Agreement does not and will not (i) conflict with, violate, result in a breach of or constitute a
default under any agreement, instrument or obligation to which Pure Cycle is a party or by which
Pure Cycle is bound; (ii) conflict with or violate any order, judgment, decree, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to Pure Cycle; or (iii) except as required by Form 8-K under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, require any consent, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any
governmental agency.

non-assessable.

whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which

These shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of

available and Pure Cycle Corporation has received evidence of such
exemption satisfactory to it (which may include, among other things,

investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by such
party of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein. The waiver by
any party hereto of any condition or of a breach of another provision of this Agreement shall not
be construed as a waiver of any other condition or subsequent breach. The waiver by any party of
any part of any condition precedent to its obligations under this Agreement shall not preclude it
from seeking redress for breach of this Agreement other than with respect to the condition waived.
