A duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company 5,000,000 fully paid and
nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price per share (the “Exercise

representing Shares is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder
of record of the Shares represented thereby as of the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised, whether or not
the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.


 


3.Payment
of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price may be paid (i) in cash or by certified check or wire transfer, (ii) by the surrender
or forgiveness by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations

combination of the foregoing.


 


4.No

exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in
an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.


 


5.Exercise;
Expiration Date. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time commencing
on the Vesting Date as defined below. “Vesting Date” for purposes of this Warrant means the earlier of
(1) the date the warrant NAEY 001A is exercised in whole, (2) the date that the Company has revenue of $12,500,000
in total for two consecutive quarters and records a pre-tax net profit for each of those two quarters or (3) the effective date

Company further covenants that such Shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise 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.


 




    	 



    	 



    

  


7.Share
Splits and Dividends. If, after the Effective Date, the Company shall subdivide its shares of common
stock by share split or otherwise, or combine the shares of common stock, or issue additional shares of common
stock in payment of a share dividend on the Shares, 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 share dividend, or proportionately
decreased in the case of a combination, and the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased
in the case of a subdivision or share dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.


 


8.Mergers
and Reclassifications. If, after the Effective Date, the Company shall enter into any Reorganization
(as hereinafter defined), 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 Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder) shall thereafter
be applicable in relation to any shares of Common stock or other securities and property thereafter deliverable
upon exercise hereof. For the purposes of this Section 8, the term “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 share dividend provided for in Section 7 hereof), or any 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 entity 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.


 


9.Price
Protection. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall offer in exchange any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to acquire assets relating to the exploration, exploitation and production of an oil or natural
gas well (an “Acquisition”) at an effective price per share less than the then the Exercise
Price of the Warrant (such lower price, the “Base Share Price”) then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to
the effective price and the number of shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price prior to such adjustment. “Common Stock Equivalent” for purposes of this Warrant includes: options,
warrants, preferred stock, or convertible securities that are convertible or can be exchanged for common stock of the Company.


 


10.Certain
Events. If any change in the outstanding common stock of the Company or any other event occurs
as to which the provisions of Section 7 through Section 9 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would
not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such provisions, then the
Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the
Warrant, the Exercise Price or the application Of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.
The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of the Warrant, upon exercise for the same aggregate
Exercise Price, the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the Warrant been exercised
prior to the event and had he continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.


 


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


 


12.Issue
Tax. The issuance of certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the
Holder of the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in respect thereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of the
Warrant being exercised.

13.Registration
Rights. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement in connection with a public offering for the account
of the Company (a “Primary Offering”) of its common stock (other than in connection with any exchange offer,
merger, sale of substantially all assets or other reorganization or recapitalization of
the Company or the issuance of securities in connection with employee stock options, stock awards
or other employee benefit plans), or if the Company proposes to file a registration statement on behalf of any other
holder of securities of the Company, then the Company shall include in such Registration Statement the Shares,


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such proposed offering delivers a letter
to the Company and to Holder stating that the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company intends to include in any
such proposed Primary Offering (the “Primary Shares”) and that Holder and persons heretofore
or hereafter granted registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company other than
Holder (“Other Sellers”) have requested to be included (the “Secondary Shares”) would exceed
the number of shares of Common Stock that could be sold without having an adverse
effect on such Primary Offering (the “Allowable Secondary Shares”),
the number of Secondary Shares permitted to be included in the offering on behalf of Holder and the Other Sellers shall
be reduced so that the number of Secondary Shares included in such Registration Statement
equals the number of Allowable Secondary Shares. The number of Allowable Secondary Shares
to be included in such Registration Statement shall be allocated between Holder and the Other Sellers as follows:
first, Holder shall be allowed to include pro rata (based on the number of Registrable Securities that each stockholder requested
be included), to the extent of any Allowable Secondary Shares, all Shares and second, to the extent of any remaining Allowable
Secondary Shares, the Other Sellers shall be allowed to include pro rata (based on the number of shares that each Other Seller
requested be included) the shares that they requested be included in the Registration Statement.

Attention:
President


 


The
undersigned,_________________(“Purchaser”), intends to acquire
up to_____________shares of
common stock (the “Shares”) of North American Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) from the
Company pursuant to the exercise of a certain Warrant to purchase Shares held by Purchaser. The Shares will be issued to Purchaser
in a transaction not involving a public offering and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and applicable state securities laws. In connection with such purchase
and in order to comply with the exemptions from registration relied upon by the Company, Purchaser represents,
warrants and agrees as follows:


 


1.Purchaser
is acquiring the Shares for its own account, to hold for investment, and Purchaser shall not make any sale, transfer or other
disposition of the Shares in violation of the 1933 Act or the General Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or in violation of any applicable
state securities law;


 


2.Purchaser
has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or state securities
laws on the ground that this transaction is exempt from registration, and that reliance by the Company on such
exemptions is predicated in part on Purchaser’s representations set forth in this letter;


 


3.Purchaser
has been informed that under the 1933 Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144) is available with
respect to any proposed transfer or disposition by Purchaser of the Shares;


 


4.The
Company may refuse to permit Purchaser to sell, transfer or dispose of the Shares (except as permitted
under Rule 144) unless there is in effect a registration statement under the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities laws covering such transfer, or unless Purchaser furnishes an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to counsel for the Company, to the effect that such registration is not required;


 


5.Purchaser
has invested in securities of Company in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able
to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Purchaser
represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of
the 1933 Act.


 


Purchaser
also understands and agrees that there will be placed on the certificate(s) for the Shares, or any substitutions therefor,
legends stating in substance:


 


“These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”), or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be sold,
offered for sale or transferred unless such sale or transfer is in accordance with the registration requirements of such
Act and applicable laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act and
applicable laws is available with respect thereto.”


 


and
any legend required pursuant to applicable state securities laws.


 







    	7



    	 



    

 


Purchaser
has carefully read this letter and has discussed its requirements and other applicable limitations upon Purchaser’s
resale of the Shares with Purchaser’s counsel.


 


Very
truly yours,
