COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


To Purchase Shares of Common Stock of

U.S. RARE EARTHS, INC.

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Logic International Consulting Group, L.L.C. or assignee, (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the effective date hereof, November 29, 2011  and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the effective date of this Warrant, November 29, 2016, (the “Termination Date”), to subscribe for and purchase from U.S. Rare Earths, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”), which shall be equal to 700,000 (the “Warrant Shares”) as provided below. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 1(a) below, as adjusted.

Section 1.

Exercise.

a)

Exercise of Warrant/Exercise Price.

  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after November 29, 2011 and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the effective date of this Warrant, at an Exercise Price per share equal to Fifty Cents ($.50) per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant may be exercised on or before the Termination Date (each, an “Exercise Date”) by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 1





of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, within five (5) Business Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company and the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.    

b)

Cashless Exercise.  This Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = the price of said Common Stock determined by reference to the last reported sale price for the Common Stock on such day on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or if no such sale takes place on such date, the average of the closing bid and asked prices thereof as officially reported, or, if not so listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the last sale price for the Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers national market system on such date, or, if there shall have been no trading on such date or if the Common Stock shall not be listed on such system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any NASD member firm selected from time to time by the Company for such purpose or, if the Common Stock is not traded, then such price as is reasonably determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Market Value”);


(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and


(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b).


c)

Mechanics of Exercise.

i.

Authorization of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance).  The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 2





number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

ii.

Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise.  If and to the extent that the Company completes a Public Offering pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, if applicable to shares of the Company, certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is a participant in such system and if the certificates may be issued without a restrictive legend in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, within ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company.  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(c)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.  

iii.

Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iv.

Rescission Rights.  If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 1(c)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 3





v.

Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, (A) if the Company or the Company’s transfer agent fails to cause delivery to the Holder of a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares (assuming the valid exercise of this Warrant by the Holder and the satisfaction of all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in connection therewith), or (B) if the Company or its transfer agent fails to deliver such certificates without the restrictive legend (if the Holder shall first have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and its counsel the Holder’s compliance with all requirements applicable under the securities laws for the removal of any restrictive legend) on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Holder confirming that the Warrant Shares may be freely traded on the Trading Market in question), the Company shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $50 for each Business Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date until (A) such certificate is delivered with an appropriate legend, or (B) without a restrictive legend (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Holder confirming that the Warrant Shares may be freely traded on the Trading Market in question), as the case may be. The Holder acknowledges that if the Company shall at the time of exercise of this Warrant be a participant in the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s clearance and settlement systems, all exercises of this Warrant may be settled on such system without the issuance of physical stock certificates.

vi.

No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round such fractional share up to the next whole number.

vii.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

viii.

Closing of Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 4





Section 2.

Certain Adjustments.

a)

Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly adjusted.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification

b)

Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall issue any new securities and/or increases the number of its outstanding shares in a material transaction, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect pursuant to Section 1 of this Warrant (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, the Exercise Price of these Warrants shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued, and effective and not just contingent on some future event. For example, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise are not given effect until they are actually exercised and common stock is in fact delivered at a lower price than that specified in Section 1. Note a material transaction is one involving more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company per transaction or equity raise. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(b) upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

c)

Issuances of Additional Common Stock or Other Securities.  If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall seek to increase the number outstanding shares of Common Stock, issue any new securities or grant rights in respect of the acquisition of any such shares or securities, which transaction is one involving more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company per transaction or equity raise, the number of shares issuable upon he exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 5





adjusted so that the percentage interest in the Company represented by the Warrant Shares subsequent to any such transaction shall be maintained at the same percentage as of the Effective Date of this Warrant.   

d)

Other Issuances of Securities.   If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date seeks to issue of offer new securities or grant the rights in respect of the acquisition of such securities, the Company will provide prior written notice to the Holder in respect of the terms of any such issuance or offering and the Holder shall be given an opportunity to participate in any such offering or issuance of securities.    

e)

Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

f)

  Intentionally Omitted.

g)

Notice to Holders.

i.

Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.

Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 6





taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, however that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

Section 3.

Transfer of Warrant.

a)

Transferability.  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, the conditions set forth in this Warrant along with secured written permission from the Company which may grant permission in its sole discretion, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.  

b)

New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 3(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

c)

Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 7





d)

Transfer Restrictions. If , at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

Section 4.

Miscellaneous.  

a)

Title to Warrant.  Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and Section 3 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.  The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

b)

No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.  Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.

c)

Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

d)

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

e)

Authorized Shares.  




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 8





The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

f)

Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.

g)

Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

h)

Expenses.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 9





or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder. However, in the event that Holder fails to prevail, Holder will be liable to the Company for the Company’s expenses related to the defense of Holder’s action including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s costs.

i)

Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the agreement between the Company and the Holder pursuant to which this Warrant was issued.

j)

Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

k)

Remedies.  Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

l)

Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

m)

Amendment and Waiver.  This Warrant may be modified or amended only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  

n)

Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

o)

Headings.  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

p)

Registration Rights. The Company agrees to grant certain registration rights to the Holder in respect of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.  Accordingly, in




Common Stock Purchase Warrant, Page 10





the event that prior to the Termination Date the Company files a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Holder will have the right to include, or “piggyback” in the registration statement the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares, which right will be subject to and contingent upon approval by any investment banker and/or underwriter that the Company may engage in connection with the registration statement.
