STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 4.11
This STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this
17th day of August
2007, by and among DYNAMIC DECISIONS STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES, a Cayman Islands corporation (the
“Seller”) and PURE EARTH, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PEI”) and any other party or parties that
now or hereafter become a party to this Agreement by executing a Joinder Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Joinder Party” and together with or in lieu of the Company,
collectively the “Buyers”).
BACKGROUND
The Seller is the record and beneficial owners of 169,850 shares of the common stock of Pure
Earth, Inc., acquired by the Seller in open market transactions (the “PEI Stock”). The Seller now
desires to sell, transfer and assign the PEI Stock to the Buyers, and the Buyers desire to purchase
and acquire the PEI Stock from the Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements set forth herein, and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows:
1. Sale of Stock.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as
defined in Section 4 hereof) Seller will sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyers, in
accordance with their respective Committed Amounts (defined below), the PEI Stock and the Buyers
will, in accordance with their respective Committed Amounts, purchase and accept the PEI Stock from
Seller.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement the term “Committed Amount” shall mean and refer to the
number of shares of PEI Stock committed to be purchased by each Joinder Party, as set forth in such
Joinder Party’s Joinder Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, PEI“s Committed Amount shall be equal to the difference
between 169,850 and the sum of the Committed Amounts of all Joinder Parties. In clarification of
the foregoing, if the aggregate Committed Amounts of all Joinder Parties is 169,850 shares of PEI
Stock, then the Committed Amount of PEI would be zero shares of PEI Stock.
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of PEI Stock shall be Two Dollars and
Thirty Five and One-Half Cents ($2.355). The aggregate purchase price for all of the PEI Stock
shall be $399,996.75. In respect of each Buyer, such Buyer’s Committed Amount, multiplied by the
per share purchase price referred to above shall be referred to herein with respect to such Buyer
as the “Purchase Price”.
3. Manner of Payment. The Purchase Price will be paid by Delivery versus Payment.
Seller’s broker (“Seller’s Broker”) for purposes of effecting the transactions contemplated
hereunder and relevant contact information is as follows:

4. Closing Date. The “Closing Date” hereunder in respect of each Buyer, shall take
place on or before September 27, 2007, as coordinated among Seller and each Buyer and shall be
effected through a Delivery
versus Payment transaction coordinated among Seller’s Broker and each Buyer’s broker. In
anticipation of each Closing Date, the parties shall make the following deliveries:
(a) At least three (3) business days prior to a Buyer’s Closing Date, such Buyer (or PEI on
behalf of such Buyer) shall forward to Seller and Seller’s Broker, a true and correct copy of such
Buyer’s Joinder Agreement, setting forth the exact name and address of such Buyer, the Committed
Amount of such Buyer, and the name, address and telephone number of the Buyer’s broker (including a
specific contact person) that will coordinate and implement such Buyer’s Delivery versus Payment
transaction in respect of such Buyer’s Committed Amount.
On each Closing Date, the Seller’s Broker and the Buyer’s broker will effect the Delivery
versus Payment transaction for such Buyer’s Committed Amount. The failure by either the Buyers or
the Seller to timely comply with its obligations set forth herein shall be a material breach of
this Agreement.
5. Representations of the Buyers. Each Buyer represents and warrants to the Seller
