▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pure Cycle Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to certain investors (each an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”), up to 1,200,000 (the “Primary Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.00333 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Selling Stockholders” and each a “Selling Stockholder”) hereby agree, severally but not jointly, to sell an aggregate of up to 1,656,697 shares (the “Secondary Shares” and, collectively with the Primary Shares, the “Shares”). This letter agreement confirms our understanding that the Company and the Selling Stockholders desire to engage ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Securities, Incorporated and Flagstone Securities, LLC as their exclusive placement agents (the “Placement Agents” and each, a “Placement Agent”) in connection with such issuance and sale of the Shares.

The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby confirm as follows their agreements with the Placement Agents.

1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agents. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Placement Agents agree to act as the Company’s and the Selling Stockholders’ exclusive placement agents in connection with the issuance and sale, on a best efforts basis, of the Shares to the Investors. The Placement Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company and the Selling Stockholders in obtaining performance by each Investor whose offer to purchase Shares has been solicited by the Placement Agents and accepted by the Company, but the Placement Agents shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, have any liability to the Company or the Selling Stockholders in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. The Company and each Selling Stockholder shall pay to the Placement Agents an aggregate amount equal to 2.0% of the proceeds received by the Company or such Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Share as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined); provided that 60% of such aggregate amount shall be paid directly to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Securities, Incorporated and 40% of such aggregate amount shall be paid directly to Flagstone Securities, LLC. This Agreement shall not give rise to a commitment by the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares or otherwise provide any financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates may, solely at their discretion and without any obligation to do so, purchase Shares as principals. The Placement Agents, without the prior consent of the Company or any Selling Stockholder,

may appoint any co-agent or sub-agent in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares and may allocate any portion of such fee to such co-agent or sub-agent.

2. Delivery and Payment. The payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of the Shares shall be made at one or more closings (each a “Closing” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”) at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Company, located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Prior to the Closing Date, the Selling Stockholders shall deposit certificates in negotiable form representing all of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder in an account designated by the Placement Agents. The Placement Agents shall cause the Investors to wire an amount equal to the price per share as shown on the cover page of the most recent Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) for all of the Shares offered hereby to an account designated by the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, and the Company or Placement Agents, as applicable, shall deliver the Shares to the Investors, which delivery may be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company. The first such Closing shall take place at such time and date as the Placement Agents and the Company determine. All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously.

(b) The Company will not, during such period as the Prospectus would be required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares by an underwriter or dealer in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus unless a copy thereof shall first have

The Placement Agents also agree to provide to each Investor, prior to the Closing, a copy of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.

8. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Agreement, including but not limited to costs and expenses of or relating to (1) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including each pre- and post-effective amendment thereto) and exhibits thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, including all fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and accountants to the Company, (2) the preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares, (3) furnishing (including costs of shipping and mailing) such copies of the Registration Statement (including all pre- and post-effective amendments thereto), the Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, as may be requested for use in connection with the direct placement of the Shares, (4) the listing of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, (5) any filings required to be made by the Placement Agents with the NASD, and the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Placement Agents in connection therewith, (6) the registration or qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions designated pursuant to Section 5(g), including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Placement Agents in connection therewith and the preparation and printing of preliminary, supplemental and final Blue Sky memoranda and (7) fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Placement Agent, its respective directors, officers, employees and agent and each person, if any, who controls such Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages, joint or several, (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which it, or any of them, may become subject under the Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, each as amended and supplemented, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, each as amended or supplemented, a material

fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood that such information consists exclusively of such Selling Stockholder’s name and address and the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Selling Stockholder’s name in the Prospectus under the caption “Selling Stockholders” (both prior to and after giving effect to the sale of the Shares); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the liability of each Selling Stockholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after placement agent fees and commissions, but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. The indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liabilities that such Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.

(c) Each Placement Agent, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Stockholders, each person, if any, who controls the Company or a Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Placement Agent, but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to a Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by such Placement Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Placement Agent might otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that, for all purposes under this Agreement, the name of each Placement Agent and the paragraph relating to placement agent fees and reimbursement of expenses appearing under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus constitute the only information relating to each Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by such Placement Agent expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(d) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly

notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that a conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would prevent the counsel selected by the indemnifying party from representing the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (3) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. The indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 10 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Placement Agents, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Placement Agents will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Placement Agents or Selling Stockholders such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Placement Agents may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received. The relative benefits received shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting Company expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus bear to the fee received by the Placement Agents hereunder. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is

appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, the Selling Stockholders, and each Placement Agent, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or a Placement Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Placement Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), no Placement Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the fee received by it, no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate gross proceeds received by it after placement agent fees and commissions, but before expenses, and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(e), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 10(e), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 10(e). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

11. Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall automatically terminate 90 days from the date hereof.

(b) The obligations of the Placement Agents under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, by notice to the Company from the Placement Agents, without liability on the part of the Placement Agents if, prior to delivery and payment for the Shares, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agents (i) trading in the Common Stock of the Company shall have been suspended by the Commission or by the NASDAQ Capital Market, (ii) trading in securities generally on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such exchange or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities

generally by any of such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority, (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities, or (iv) any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets in the United States or any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other national or State of Colorado calamity or crisis shall have occurred, the effect of any of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agents, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.

(c) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, or if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Placement Agents set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or the Selling Stockholders to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Placement Agents, reimburse the Placement Agents for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection herewith in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company received a comment letter from the Commission dated June 14, 2007, concerning a non-GAAP disclosure in Note 3 to its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2007, which is incorporated in the Registration Statement by reference. The comment and Company response are set forth below:

Note 3 — Investments in Water and Water Systems, page 10

We note you disclose on page 11 the per-share impact of imputed interest on your Tap Participation Fees payable. Please tell us why you believe you are permitted to include this non-GAAP measure in you filing considering Question 11 of the Staff’s Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, available on our website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. If you believe inclusion of this measure in your filing appropriate, please explain how the measure is used by management and in what way it provides meaningful information to investors. Also, ensure you provide a reconciliation of the measurement to the GAAP EPS figure.

17 CFR § 244.100 General rules regarding disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures (“Regulation G”) provides that a “non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with accompanying information, may not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor may it omit to state a material fact necessary to make the non-GAAP financial measure not misleading, in-light of the circumstances.” The disclosure of the per-share impact of the imputed interest does not provide an untrue statement of a material fact, nor does it omit any information which makes the note misleading. Management provided the information as means to highlight the magnitude of the imputed interest as a result of accounting for the Tap Participation Fee payable to HP A&M (as defined in the Form 10-Q). Upon review, the Company believes it should have disclosed the most directly comparable financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP (total net loss EPS) in the same footnote. However, since that is disclosed in the statement of operations, and the amount of the imputed interest is disclosed in the notes and the statement of operations, the reader can easily reconcile the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Therefore, the Company does not believe this is a material omission requiring restatement. It should further be noted that Accounting Series Release No. 142 states “per share data other than that relating to net income, net assets and dividends should (emphasis added) be avoided in reporting financial results,” but this is not specifically prohibited by ASR 142.

The Company received a subsequent comment letter from the Commission on July 13, 2007 noting that the per-share impact of imputed interest on Tap Participation Fees payable was still mentioned in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007. The Company informed the Commission that the line was inadvertently not removed and it will be removed from future filings.
