     1. Issuance. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") is issued to Tyson Rohde, by BlueFire Equipment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the "Company").







     2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares. Subject to other terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, the registered holder of this Warrant (the "Holder") is entitled, at any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2011 and prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed by or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company, at a price per share of $0.10 (the "Purchase Price"), up to Three Million (3,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock").


Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.







     3. Certain Definitions.







          (a) "Reorganization" shall include without limitation any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 10 hereof), or any Sale Event.







          (b) "Sale Event" shall mean the consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.









  





  











  






     4. Ability to Exercise; Payment of Purchase Price.







          (a) This Warrant may be exercised, at any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2011; provided, that, in the event of an earlier Sale Event, this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to and subject to the consummation of such Sale Event.







          (b) The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.







     5. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:


X= Y(A-B)


A



	  	
where: X =

	  	
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 5.


	  	  	  	  
	  	
Y =

	  	
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 5.


	  	  	  	  
	  	
A =

	  	
the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock, as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 5 (the "Determination Date").


	  	  	  	  
	  	
B =

	  	
the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 5.


 


	  	  	
"Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock shall mean:


 







          (a) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company's Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a "Public Offering"), and if the Company's Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering ("Registration Statement") has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.







          (b) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:







               (i) If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market (including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Global Select Market), the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed


to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange or market over the five-day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date;







               (ii) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five-day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date; and









  





  











  






               (iii) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by a third party PCAOB certified CPA firm.







     6. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.







     7. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Common Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant.







     8. Expiration Date. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on April 1, 2016, and shall be void thereafter.







     9. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.







     10. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Common Stock, or issue additional shares of Common Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.







     11. Mergers and Reclassifications. If after the date hereof the Company shall enter into any Reorganization, then, as a condition of such Reorganization, lawful provisions shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such Reorganization by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such Reorganization, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder and the provisions relating to the net issue election) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.







     12. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company's chief financial officer setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.







     13. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event of:







          (a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or dispose of any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;









  





  











  






          (b) any Reorganization; or







          (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;







then in each such event the Company will provide or cause to be provided to the Holder a written notice thereof. Such notice shall be provided at least ten days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.







     14. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company and accepted by each Holder on the basis of the following representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company:







          (a) The Company has all necessary authority to issue, execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Warrant has been duly authorized issued, executed and delivered by the Company and is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.







          (b) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.







          (c) The issuance, execution and delivery of this Warrant do not, and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not, (i) violate or contravene the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or any law, statute, regulation, rule, judgment or order applicable to the Company, (ii) violate, contravene or result in a breach or default under any contract, agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound or (iii) require the consent or approval of or the filing of any notice or registration with any person or entity.







     15. Amendment. The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of the Holder and the Company.







     16. Representations and Covenants of the Holder. This Warrant has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Holder, which by its execution hereof the Holder hereby confirms:







          (a) Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Common Stock upon exercise of the Holder's rights contained herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.







          (b) Accredited Investor. Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").







          (c) Private Issue. The Holder understands (i) that the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Holder's rights contained herein is not registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 16.









  





  











  






          (d ) Limitation of Amount of Ownership. Notwithstanding anything contrary to this Agreement, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert, nor shall the Company issue, that number of shares which when added to the sum of the number of shares common stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) by the Holder, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the conversion date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.







          (e) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder understands that the Shares will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least six months from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by the SEC for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5, and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing Shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:







THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT UNLESS EITHER (i) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPOSITION OR (ii) THE SALE OF SUCH SECURITIES IS MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT.







          (f) Financial Risk. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.







     17. Notices, Transfers, Etc.







          (a) Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be given by certified mail or delivered to the Holder at the address most recently provided by the Holder to the Company.







          (b) This Warrant may be transferred by the Holder with respect to any or all of the shares purchasable hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. Any transfer of this Warrant by the Holder with respect to any or all of the shares purchasable hereunder shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. To the extent Holder wished to transfer this Warrant, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the assignment notice annexed hereto duly executed, for transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Holder, the Company shall issue a new warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed, by the Holder for transfer with respect to a portion of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, the Company shall issue a new warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Holder hereof, and shall issue to such Holder a new warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred.









  





  











  






          (c) In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue a new warrant of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (i) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (ii) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of an affidavit of the Holder or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant.







     18. Governing Law. The provisions and terms of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its principles regarding conflicts of laws.







     19. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Company's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder's successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.







     20. Severability. If any paragraph, provision or clause of this Warrant shall be found or be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Warrant shall be valid and enforceable and the parties shall use good faith to negotiate a substitute, valid and enforceable provision that most nearly effects the parties' intent in entering into this Warrant.







     21. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.







     22. Business Days. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action required or the expiration of any rights granted herein shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday in Houston, Texas, then such action may be taken or right may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday or Sunday or such a legal holiday.
