Date of Issuance: June 1, 2008

Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, CERTAIN WEALTH, LTD. (the "HOLDER"), 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) up to One Million
One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven (1,166,667) 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 (however, such restriction may be waived
by Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than
65 days prior notice to the Company). 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

                                       1
<PAGE>

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-QSB or Form 10-KSB, 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.

         Section 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

         Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, pro
rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the
opening of business on such Business Day, commencing with the first day after
the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i)
by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached
as EXHIBIT A hereto (the "EXERCISE NOTICE"), of such holder's election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares
to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to
which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer
taxes) (the "AGGREGATE EXERCISE PRICE") in cash or wire transfer of immediately
available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon
as practicable following such date.

         In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth
(5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and
the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof,
if requested by the Company (the "EXERCISE DELIVERY DOCUMENTS"), and if the
Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's
balance account with The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the
holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or
all of the Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the
Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for
overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a
certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) above the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of a dispute
as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or
the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly
issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the holder's Exercise
Notice.

                                       4
<PAGE>


                  (a) If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the
Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable investment banking
firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its
independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking
firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than
forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error.

                  (b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as
practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise
and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this
Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.

                  (c) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro
rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued
upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest
whole number.

                  (d) If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any
reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder's balance account
with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the
holder is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise
available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on
each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely
effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number
of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the
holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the
trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could
have issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.

                  (e) If within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the
holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies
under this Warrant, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay
as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th)
day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount
equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by
the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last
possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder
without violating this Section 2.

         Section 3. COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:

                  (a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution
for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and
validly issued.

                  (b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof.

                  (c) During the period within which the rights represented by
this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common
Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this
Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal
to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available,
then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders
within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

                  (d) If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall
file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall
maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange
or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such
listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be
listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

                  (e) The Company will not, by amendment of 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 to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant
Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

                  (f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to
the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets.

         Section 4. TAXES. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any
applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

         Section 5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of
capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in
this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or
otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant
Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in
