Section 1 – Registrant's Business and Operations 

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 4, 2014, we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the City of Fort Stockton, Texas regarding the development of water well(s) in the Capitan Reef Aquifer Formation.  The City of Fort Stockton, Texas ("COFS") owns the surface and ground water rights to several areas of Capitan Reef Aquifer Formation; its existing Capitan Reef Aquifer ("CRA") well is currently drilled to an approximate depth of 3,500 feet (the "Existing CRA Well").  We want to deepen the Existing CRA Well to make it a producing water well and/or drill an alternate well, which will be at our own expense, and lease CRA groundwater rights from certain sections of COFS' property.  Together, we hope that we can develop a CRA water supply project in the area that will serve to meet the future needs of COFS and the municipal and industrial needs within the region.

Through the Agreement, COFS granted and leased the right to explore for, drill for, produce transport and treat groundwater from a specific portion of the CRA to us.  We also have the right to drill, deepen and/or rework the Existing CRA Well, at our own expense.  Through a Post-Well Study, we shall determine the gallons per day ("GPD") of maximum water capacity of the Existing CRA Well and the quality of the water from such well. If however, the results of the Post-Well Study demonstrate that the Existing CRA Well is not suitable to carry out the purpose of the Agreement, we may drill a second water will, at our own expense, at a location mutually agreed on the related property and then we shall conduct a Post-Well Study on such replacement well.  Once the well water meets the contractual specifications, we may sell such water to end users; if the water does not meet such standards, we maintain the right to treat the water to other specific levels or sell as is to industrial end-users.  We are responsible for the pipelines and pumping facilities required to transport the water to the end-user.

If the Post-Well Study shows that the well(s) we drilled can produce CRA water at a minimum of 1,200 GPM (the "Critical Criterion") and all regulatory approvals have been obtained, we must pay COFS a $5,000,000 bonus payment and we shall have the right to develop additional wells if we have additional water supply contracts demanding additional production.  We shall also pay COFS a 17% royalty of the price we receive per 1,000 gallon of CRA water produced from the well(s).  Finally, we are required to provide COFS with 3 million GPD of CRA water at no cost upon their requires for delivery of same for their use.  For one year following completion of our last post-well study, we have the option to produce and transport the water produced from the CRA (the "Option"); otherwise, the Agreement terminates, unless we pay a monthly royalty of $500 (the "Option Royalty").  We can maintain the Option for three years, so long as we pay the Option Royalty.  If we exercise the Option and the wells are capable of producing CRA water for sale, but there are no sales for a consecutive period of 180 days or more, the lease shall terminate unless we pay a monthly royalty of $5,000, which is also only permissible for three years.  Other fees payable to COFS include a 7% royalty of the price we receive per 1,000 gallons of CRA water produced and sold from other properties owned by anyone other than COFS within the Pecos County, as a result of our additional right to use existing COFS easements and rights of way within the Pecos County for laying pipelines necessary for the delivery of CRA water produced within such county.  COFS agreed to assist us with any negotiations required to procure additional easements and groundwater rights in Pecos County to help us produce and deliver CRA water.

If the Post-Well Study shows that the Critical Criterion has not been met, then we can decide whether or not we want to produce and transport the water.  If we decide not to produce, but COFS sells the water from the wells, COFS will reimburse us for certain of our expenses related to developing such well; if we decide to produce the water, we will not get any reimbursement.  These same options apply if the regulatory approvals have been granted but the permit from the Middle Pecos Groundwater Conservation District does not allow us to transport the full amount we request to use or sell.

Throughout the term of the Agreement, COFS is responsible to maintain insurance for its activities and obtain all property rights related to the activities covered by the Agreement.

Title and ownership of the Existing CRA Well and any other wells we drill on the property shall be transferred to us during the term of the Agreement; upon termination of the Agreement, we shall transfer title back to COFS upon COFS' reimbursement to us of any expenses that are owed.

The term of the Agreement is for 30 years, which shall automatically renew year to year unless terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice after the end of the term.  The Agreement provides that we are authorized to maintain and service any contracts to the extent water has been purchased pursuant to a sales agreement with a duration exceeding such 30 year time period and this Agreement shall not terminate during the initial term of any such agreement.  We also maintain the right to unilaterally terminate the Agreement related to the initial subject property.  So long as we are maintain our obligations under the Agreement, COFS may not terminate the Agreement during certain specific phases of the contemplated transaction.  The Agreement requires COFS reimburse us at specified rates and for specified projects if it unilaterally terminates the Agreement during specific time frames.

The Agreement contains covenants that are customary for agreements of this type and provides for indemnification of the parties for losses and expenses arising out of this Agreement.

The foregoing information is a summary of the Cooperation Agreement, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Readers should review such agreement for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

The Company is currently working to finance the initial project, of which there can be no guarantee.  If the Company does not receive adequate funding, it will not be able to carry out the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.  The Agreement does not provide for any penalties or defaults if we are unable to carry it out.

COOPERATION AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE CITY OF FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS AND STW RESOURCES HOLDING CORP. REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF WATER WELL(S) IN THE CAPITAN REEF AQUIFER FORMATION

This AGREEMENT regarding development of water well(s) in the Capitan Reef Aquifer Formation (the “AGREEMENT”) is entered into by the City of Fort Stockton, Texas, a Texas Type A-General Law city (“COFS”) and STW Resources Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (“STW”), effective as of the last date of signature on the signature pages below. STW and COFS are sometimes individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, the City of Fort Stockton, Texas (“COFS”) owns the surface and groundwater rights to several areas of the Capitan Reef Aquifer Formation; and

WHEREAS, COFS has an existing Capitan Reef Aquifer (“CRA”) water well located at Section 112 on COFS property, which is currently drilled to an approximate depth of 3,500 feet (the “Existing CRA Well”), and also owns property at Section 71; and

WHEREAS, STW desires to attempt to deepen the Existing CRA Well in order to make it a producing water well and/or drill an alternate well(s) at its own expense, and to lease CRA groundwater rights from Sections 112 and 71 of COFS property; and

WHEREAS, STW and COFS desire to work together for the development of a CRA water supply project within the area that will serve to meet the future needs of COFS and the municipal and industrial needs within the region.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.   LeasingofPropertyandDrillingofWaterWell(s). COFS hereby grants, leases and lets unto STW the right to explore for, drill for, produce, utilize, transport, and treat groundwater from the CRA only from beneath the surface of the property more specifically described in Exhibit “A,” which is attached hereto and fully incorporated into this AGREEMENT (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”). STW is further authorized to drill, deepen, and/or rework at its expense the Existing CRA Well on Section 112 of the Property from its current depth of approximately 3,500 feet to approximately 4,000 feet, so as to determine the following to be verified by a study to be performed by a hydrogeologist mutually agreed upon by both Parties (“Post-Well Study”): (a) the gallons per day (“GPD”) of maximum water capacity of the Existing CRA Well or alternate well, as may be required under Section 5 of the AGREEMENT; and (b) the quality of the water to be obtained from the Existing CRA Well or alternate well. The rights granted to STW under this AGREEMENT also include the right of access to the Property to perform the activities authorized herein.

2.   Accessand Surface Use. STW agrees to coordinate reasonably with COFS with respect to location of any new wells, roadways, power infrastructure, and other improvements that are to be constructed or used on the Property. COFS shall provide STW rent free site leases for the commercially reasonable amounts of surface area required for CRA pumping and filling stations located on the Property. STW shall pay for or repair all actual damages to roads, fences, or improvements caused by its activities on the Property within sixty (60) days of the occurrence, and will fill and level all pits, mounds, ruts, and shall restore the surface to as near its original condition as is reasonably practicable within ninety (90) days after termination of the provisions of this AGREEMENT related only to the Property. Upon termination of the provisions of this AGREEMENT related to the Property only, STW, or its successors or assigns, shall transfer title of all water conveyance pipelines from the Property to COFS. STW shall administer and provide all necessary and reasonable insurance to insure its activities on the Property in relation to the AGREEMENT and shall list COFS as additional insured.

3.   Term.  Subject to the other provisions contained herein, this AGREEMENT shall be for a term of thirty (30) years from the Effective Date, which shall automatically renew from year-to-year thereafter unless terminated by a Party upon sixty (60) days’ written notice after the end of the term. Notwithstanding the 30-year term of this agreement, should STW procure sales agreements with customers for a duration of longer than 30 years, STW shall be authorized to maintain and service such contract(s) to the extent of the water volume(s) purchased, and this AGREEMENT shall not terminate during the initial term of any such water supply agreement with a term extending beyond this AGREEMENT.

4.   Post-WellStudyGenerally. The Post-Well Study shall provide information on the feasibility of developing a water well field in that location that would produce water from the CRA for: (a) the availability of a minimum 1,200 gallons per minute (“GPM”) per day CRA water production for STW, its successors or assignees, to sell to communities and users within a 500-mile radius outside of COFS (the “Permitted Sale Water”) during the Term, with the further requirement that STW would be responsible for the pipelines and pumping facilities required to transport the Permitted Sale Water to the intended end-users; and that all such water obtained from the Existing CRA Well contains acceptable levels of Total Dissolved Solids (“TDS”) to meet municipal use standards. If such water does not meet municipal use standards according to the Post-Well Study, STW may either treat the water to municipal use standards or to sell it as-is to industrial end-users.

5.   ReplacementCRAWell. If, based on the Post-Well Study of the Existing CRA Well, it is determined that the Existing CRA Well is not suitable for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, then STW may elect to drill at its expense a second water well (the “Replacement CRA Well”) at a place to be mutually agreed on the Property, with the Existing CRA Well to remain as a monitoring well. After completion of the Replacement CRA Well, a second Post-Well Study will be conducted for the same purposes as that for the Existing CRA Well.

6.   ConstructionRequirements. STW’s construction of the improvements to the Existing CRA Well, any Replacement CRA Well, and any additional production wells shall be pursuant to any recommendation and requirements as may be specified by and agreed upon with COFS, and the construction shall also be conducted in a manner meeting prevailing industry standards, the Middle Pecos Groundwater Conservation District regulations, Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) regulations, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations.

7.   CooperationRegardingStudies. COFS shall provide to STW any and all documents pertaining to this project, including all hydrogeological studies and any existing Pre-Well Studies for the Existing CRA Well, as well as any similar documents for the Replacement CRA Well to include:

a.   the best location for the Replacement CRA Well on the Property, considering the spacing with any other wells that might now or in the future be located on the Property;

b.   the location on the Property that will best provide data for determining the feasibility of pumping water from the CRA on the Property and be the most productive;

c.   documents showing current ownership of the Property including both CRA and surface ownership rights, to demonstrate COFS’ ability to lease the land for the Sale of CRA Water Rights to STW, including any documents showing the prior sale or conveyance of any CRA or water rights from the Property; and

a.   Pre-well study (ies),

b.   completion of improvements to the Existing CRA Well,

c.   completion of the Replacement CRA Well, if necessary, and

d.   Post-Well Study (ies).

Should COFS unilaterally terminate the provisions of this AGREEMENT related to COFS Property only, with the right to do so beginning on a period beginning no sooner than ninety (90) days following the Post-Well Study (ies), and ending at the one year period following the Post-Well Study (ies), during which STW may exercise its Option to Produce Water, in accordance with Section 15 of this AGREEMENT, COFS shall reimburse STW for 100% of the costs paid by STW up to the point of such termination, pursuant to the AGREEMENT, according to a reasonable accounting schedule of costs prepared by STW and submitted to COFS. Once STW exercises its Option to Produce Water pursuant to Section 15 of this AGREEMENT, and pays COFS its Bonus Payment, in accordance with Section 14(b) of this AGREEMENT, COFS may no longer unilaterally terminate this AGREEMENT during the Term. If STW terminates the AGREEMENT and COFS sells water within twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of this AGREEMENT from one or more producing water well(s) developed by STW, STW shall be reimbursed the amount expended for drilling the producing well(s), to be paid from the sale of water produced by COFS from the producing well(s). Such reimbursement shall occur based on COFS’ net revenues received from CRA water sales from the producing well(s) in six (6) month increments, which shall begin on the date COFS begins selling CRA water from producing water well(s), and shall end upon reimbursement in full of the amount STW is owed for drilling any producing well(s).

12.   TitleofProducingWells. Title and ownership of the Existing CRA Well, the Replacement CRA Well and any additional wells drilled on the Property by STW (the “Additional Wells”) shall be transferred to STW by COFS and shall be held by STW; however, upon termination of the provisions of this AGREEMENT that relate to COFS Property, STW shall transfer the title(s) back to COFS upon COFS’ reimbursement of STW as necessary under this AGREEMENT.

13.   Uses,Maintenance,ConstructionandOperationofWells. STW will construct, maintain, operate, own, and repair (as needed) the Existing CRA Well, the Replacement CRA Well and any Additional Wells, and in doing so, and in the wells' operation and repair, STW shall:

a.   conduct all work and operations in a businesslike manner consistent with good and economical practices and with due regard for good land management, damage prevention and environmental protection;

b.   comply with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations and requirements governing the development, production, collection, transportation, and disposal of the water (and any waste or reject water);

c.   allow COFS or its authorized representatives to enter upon the premises at reasonable times to be arranged in advance of entry; and

d.   plug all wells, when abandoned, in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements of the Middle Pecos Groundwater Conservation District, TDLR, and/or TCEQ.

14.   Obligations Following thePost-Well Study.

a.   For purposes of this section, the Post-Well Study must show that the Existing CRA Well or Replacement CRA Well can produce CRA water at a minimum of 1,200 GPM or more or a combination of 1,200 GPM from one or more wells on the Property in order for STW to proceed with the obligations set forth in this section (“Critical Criterion”).

b.   Obligations if Post-Well Study shows that the Critical Criterion has been met:

If all necessary regulatory approvals are obtained that allow the production and transport of up to 10 million GPD or the maximum capacity of the well, for STW’s use or resale, in conjunction with STW exercising its Option to Produce Water under Section 15 of this AGREEMENT, STW will pay COFS an upfront Bonus Payment of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and STW shall have the immediate right to develop Additional Wells on the Property, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, in the event STW procures additional water supply contracts that require additional volume of production, the feasibility of which shall be by a Post Well hydrogeological study and report that shows the ability of STW to produce the additional amounts of CRA water. STW shall have the right to the sale of and transport of such additional water produced from Additional Wells. STW shall pay COFS a seventeen percent (17%) royalty of the price STW receives per 1,000 gallons of CRA water produced from the Property and sold.   STW shall also provide to COFS three (3) million GPD of CRA water at no cost to COFS at such time that COFS requests delivery of the water for COFS use. Each payment made by STW to COFS will include an accounting statement providing the number of gallons sold, the price paid by any customer(s), the gross revenues received by STW, and the expenses paid by STW for the sale, treatment, use, and/or delivery of the CRA water.

STW Signs Lease Agreement with City of Fort Stockton to Recover Brackish Water from the Capitan Reef Brackish Water Aquifer

MIDLAND, Texas, Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- STW Resources Holding Corp (OTC QB: STWS) and the City of Ft. Stockton held a press conference today announcing the signing of a lease agreement on municipal land to drill multiple brackish water wells recovering water from the Capitan Reef Brackish Water Aquifer. Studies in recent hydrogeological reports show potential production of 100+ million gallons per day for up to 100+ years. Although classified as brackish (slightly salty), the quality of this water is potable and can be used without treatment. If further studies show different, STW will process the water for municipal use through technology that it has already deployed for processing brackish water.

STW will provide this water to several local west Texas municipalities and industrial customers. Current rates for this water range from $4.00 per 1000 gallons to $8.00 per 1000 gallons sold. STW holds the to right sell water contracts to beneficial users for up to 100 years or the life of the contracts agreed upon. The initial project cost is $28 million; the company is currently negotiating terms with investors for partnering and/or financing.

Initially, STW and the city of Ft. Stockton have agreed to build multiple water stations to provide water for industrial customers. Simultaneously the company is contracting a 189 mile pipeline through the Permian Basin in west Texas to provide water to 9 communities. Water will be sold and transported through the pipeline during construction to towns and beneficial end users along the route. We hope to pipeline it to San Angelo and then put the extra in an already existing pipeline that goes to Midland, Odessa, and several other communities that currently takes water to them for their municipal use. This will enable west Texas to prosper and grow without the worries of having enough water for its citizens and industry.

Fort Stockton City Manager Raul Rodriquez stated, "City and county residents will benefit by keeping local entities involved in the production of water from Pecos County. City residents will benefit from the new revenue source in the form of lower tax and utility rates."

Alan Murphy the President of STW Water stated, "This joint effort between STW and the City Fort Stockton Counsel will provide water to thousands of West Texans and not to mention create revenues for the town. This is our first project of this kind but we've already begun working with other municipalities to provide a water management plan for their future."

STW Resources CEO Stanley Weiner stated, "Being a native west Texan, this is a project that I've been dreaming of since I formed the company. We have three goals: clean up brackish and oilfield produced and flowback water for use in the oilfields (thus preserving our precious fresh water resources), process brackish water for municipal use in order for west Texas to grow and attract more people, and reclaim any other types of contaminated waters for reuse. After all, the name of the company is STW ("Save the Water") Resources."
