AGREEMENT
1. Amendment of Warrant.
(a) Section 1.1 of the Warrant shall be amended to add the following at the end thereof:
The holder may request to receive the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Warrant exercise less the number of shares of Common Stock having a Quoted Price as of the exercise date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for all shares of Common Stock being exercised at the time.
(b) A new Section (e) shall be added to the definitions in the Warrant:
(e) “Quoted Price” on any day means the last reported per share sales price of the Common Stock (or, if no sales prices are reported, the average of the high and low bid prices on the last preceding trading day) on the principal national or regional stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed, or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed on a national or regional stock exchange, as quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, on such day. In the absence of one or more such quotations, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Quoted Price on the basis of such quotations as shall be reasonable under the circumstances.
2. Exercise of Warrant. Immediately following the amendment referred to in Section 1 above, Warrantholder will exercise the Warrant on a net exercise basis and Pure Cycle will issue to Warrantholder the number of shares of Pure Cycle common stock resulting from the utilization of a portion of the shares underlying the Warrant to pay the exercise price. The Common Stock will be issued free of any legend restricting transfer.

4. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Authority. Warrantholder has all requisite right, power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Warrantholder. This Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Warrantholder, enforceable against the Warrantholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, redemption, reinstatement, and other laws affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally and (b) general principles of equity.
(b) Ownership of Warrant. Warrantholder owns the Warrant free and clear of any lien. Warrantholder has not taken any action to sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant or to mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber the Warrant, or to grant any lien, pledge, option, encumbrance, adverse interest or claim of any kind on the incidents of ownership of the Warrant, including any right of first offer or other contractual obligation.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Warrantholder of this Agreement does not and will not: (a) conflict with, violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Warrantholder is a party or by which the Warrantholder is bound; (b) conflict with or violate any order, judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Warrantholder; (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien against or upon the transferred interest; or (d) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any governmental authority or any other third party.
(d) Investment Representations. Warrantholder understands that the valuation of 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. Warrantholder has read and understands the public filings made by Pure Cycle with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Warrantholder has been given the opportunity to solicit from Pure Cycle all information relevant to valuation of the Pure Cycle common stock and Pure Cycle’s business and operations, and has received all the information requested. Warrantholder has made an investigation of the pertinent facts related to Pure Cycle and the common stock, and has reviewed all information regarding Pure Cycle to the extent he deems necessary in order to be fully informed with respect to the exercise of the Warrant. Warrantholder is a sophisticated investor, knowledgeable and experienced in securities, financial and business matters and in transactions of this nature, and has made his own assessment of the value of Pure Cycle and the common stock. Warrantholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this transaction and is able to bear a complete loss of the investment in Pure Cycle common stock represented by exercise of the Warrant. Warrantholder understands that subsequent events may prove that the value of the common stock was higher or lower than the exercise price of the Warrant exercised hereunder. Warrantholder has consulted his own tax advisor with respect to the transactions surrounding this Agreement and is not relying on Pure Cycle for advice relating to the tax treatment of such transactions.
