Fox Petroleum, Inc.
a Nevada corporation (the “
Company ”), hereby certifies that, for Ten United
States Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, Luxembourg, (“
Trafalgar ”), the registered holder hereof or its
permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant,
at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after
11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein)
Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the “
Warrant Shares ”) at the exercise price per
share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted;
provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to
exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of
that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed
4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such
exercise, except within sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date. For
purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of
such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the holder and its
affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including,
without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock)
subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph,
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For
purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the
Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may
be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any
other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event
later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such
notice, confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such
holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination
or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive
absent manifest error.

then the Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its
election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined
