No.	5,000,000 Common

CERTIFICATE FOR COMMON STOCK
PURCHASE WARRANTS

1. Warrant, This Warrant Certificate certifies that Persistency, a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Persistency”), or registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is the registered owner of the above indicated number of Warrants expiring on the Expiration Date, as hereinafter defined. One (1) Warrant entitles the Registered Holder to purchase one (1) share of the common stock, $.10 par value (a “Share”), of CanArgo Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), from the Company at a purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00) (the “Exercise Price”) at any time during the Exercise Period, as hereinafter defined, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the exercise form hereon duly completed and executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price at the principal office of the Company.

Upon due presentment for transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided herein, upon payment of any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection with such transfer. Subject to the terms hereof the Company shall deliver Warrant Certificates in required whole number denominations to Registered Holders in connection with any transfer or exchange permitted hereunder.

This Warrant is issued pursuant to the provisions of that certain Conversion Agreement dated June 4, 2007 by and among the Company, CanArgo Limited (a company incorporated under the laws of

the Island of Guernsey), and Persistency (the “Conversion Agreement”). Any capitalized terms not otherwise expressly defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Conversion Agreement.

2. Restrictive Legends. Each Warrant Certificate shall bear legends substantially in the form of the legends that appear at the beginning of this Warrant Certificate. Each certificate representing Shares issued upon exercise of a Warrant, unless such Shares are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE“ACT”) OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AFFORDED UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT IS APPLICABLE (IN WHICH CASE THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT) AND THE PROVISIONS OF ALL OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS ARE OBSERVED.”

Each such certificate representing Shares may also bear such legend relating to the issuance of such Shares pursuant to any applicable securities laws as counsel for the Company shall reasonably deem appropriate.

3. Exercise. Subject to the terms hereof: the Warrants, evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, may be exercised at the Exercise Price in whole or in part at any time during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the next Business Day after the first anniversary of the Conversion Date as contemplated by Section 4 of the Conversion Agreement and terminating at the close of business on the earlier of: (i) September 1, 2009; or (ii) or shall be exercised on such sooner date at the election of the Company and upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Registered Holder in the event that: (a) the Manavi M12 well indicates, by way of an independent engineering report, sustainable production, if developed, in excess of 7,500 barrels of oil per day or (b) all the warrants originally issued under that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of March 3, 2006 by and among the Company and the purchasers listed therein are exercised by the holders thereof and the average closing price for the Company’s Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) then the Oslo Stock Exchange, is above U.S. $2.00 (or its equivalent in NOK, and in any case adjusted for any stock dividends, stock split, its reverse split, recapitalization or reorganization) for a period of five consecutive trading days (the “Expiration Date”). The Exercise Period may also be extended by the Company’s Board of Directors.

A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Exercise Date”) of the surrender to the Company at its principal offices of this Warrant Certificate with the exercise form attached hereto executed by the Registered Holder and accompanied by payment to the Company, in cash or by official bank or certified check, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, in lawful money of the United States of America.

The person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant or Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests in Warrant Shares issuable or deliverable on the exercise of any Warrant or script or cash with respect thereto, but, if Company elects not to issue a fractional share, the Company will pay a cash

adjustment in respect of any fraction of a Warrant Share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the amount by which the market price of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the Exercise Price, such market price to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at one time by the same Registered Holder, the number of full Shares which shall be issuable on exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of full shares issuable on such exercise.

Promptly, and in any event within ten business days after the Exercise Date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares deliverable on such exercise.

The Company may deem and treat the Registered Holder of the Warrants at any time as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Warrants shall not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of shareholders or to any dividend declared on the Shares unless the Registered Holder shall have exercised the Warrants and thereby purchased the Warrant Shares prior to the record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to such dividend or other right.

4. Net Issue Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Registered Holder hereof may, subject to the prior concurrence of the Company, in lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 3, elect to convert this Warrant into Warrant Shares equal in number to the value of the exercised Warrants by so indicating on the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto, in which event the Registered Holder shall receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to following shall occur.

[(X multiplied by (Y minus Z)] divided by Y;

where:

X = Number of Warrants Converted

Y = Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock

Z = Exercise Price

For purposes of the above, “Fair Market Value” shall equal the closing price for the Company’s Common Stock on the Exercise Date, as reported on the AMEX or, if the Common Stock is not then listed for trading on the AMEX, then the dollar equivalent of such closing price as reported on the Oslo Stock Exchange on the Exercise Date.

5. Reservation of Shares and Payment of Taxes. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and have available from its authorized Common Stock such number of shares as shall then be issuable on the exercise of outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Registered Holder shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and other government charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance, transfer or delivery of any Warrants and Warrant Shares on exercise of the Warrants. In the event the Warrants or Warrant Shares are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the Registered Holder of the Warrant Certificate, no such

delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the same has paid the amount of any such taxes or charges incident thereto.

6. Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Certificates may be transferred in whole or in part, provided any such transfer complies with all applicable foreign and United States federal and state securities laws and, if requested by the Company, the Registered Holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel to that effect, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. Warrant Certificates to be transferred shall be surrendered to the Company at its principal office. The Company shall execute, issue and deliver in exchange therefore the Warrant Certificate or Certificates which the Registered Holder making the transfer shall be entitled to receive.

The Company shall keep transfer books at its principal office which shall register Warrant Certificates and the transfer thereof. On due presentment of any Warrant Certificate for registration of transfer at such office, the Company shall execute, issue and deliver to the transferee or transferees a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants. All Warrant Certificates presented for registration of transfer or exercise shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other government charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

All Warrant Certificates so surrendered, or surrendered for exercise, or for exchange in case of mutilated Warrant Certificates, shall be promptly cancelled by the Company and thereafter retained by the Company until the Expiration Date. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer thereof the Company may treat the Registered Holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company), and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

7. Loss or Mutilation. On receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory as to the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants. In the case of loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant Certificate, the individual requesting issuance of a new Warrant Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Company in an amount satisfactory to the Company. In the event a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, such Certificate shall be surrendered and canceled by the Company prior to delivery of a new Warrant Certificate. Applicants for a new Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe.

8. Adjustment of Shares. The number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of a Warrant or to be delivered upon the redemption of Warrants hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events (“Adjustment Event”), as follows:

(a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the complete exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby, declare or pay to the holders of its outstanding Shares, a dividend payable in any kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company, or in property, or otherwise than in cash, the Registered Holder upon thereafter exercising the Warrants evidenced hereby as herein provided shall be entitled to receive for the Exercise Price, in addition to one Warrant Share, such additional share or shares of stock or scrip representing fractions of a share or other securities or property as the Registered Holder would have received in the form of such dividend if he had been the holder of record of such Warrant Share on the record date for the determination of common stockholders entitled to receive such dividend.

(b) If the Company shall, while any Warrants evidenced hereby remain in force, effect a recapitalization of such character that the Shares covered hereby shall be changed into or become

exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then thereafter, the number of Shares which the Registered Holder shall be entitled to purchase hereunder, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Shares of the Company by reason of such recapitalization, and the Exercise Price (per Share) shall in the case of an increase in the number of Shares be proportionately reduced, and in the case of a decrease in the number of shares be proportionately increased.

(c) In case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable upon exercise of a Warrant) or in case the Company (or any such other corporation) shall merge into or with or consolidate with another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or enter into a business combination of any form as a result of which the Shares or other securities receivable upon exercise of a Warrant are converted into other stock or securities of the same or another corporation, then and in each such case, the Registered Holder of a Warrant, upon exercise of the purchase right at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance or combination, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Shares or other securities to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled had he exercised the purchase right immediately prior thereto, such stock and securities which such Registered Holder would have owned immediately after such event with respect to the Shares and other securities for which a Warrant may have been exercised immediately before such event had the Registered Holder exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such event.

(d) In case the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise of a Warrant evidenced hereby make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Shares by way of a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend or by way of a return of capital, or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the state of its incorporation, then the Registered Holder upon thereafter exercising such Warrant as herein provided after the date of record for the determination of those holders of Shares entitled to such distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive for the Exercise Price, in addition to a Warrant Share, the amount of such assets (or at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of such distribution to holders of Shares as such value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) which would have been payable to the Registered Holder had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Share receivable upon exercise of such Warrant on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution.

The Company shall mail to the holder of this Certificate at least twenty (20) days prior to any Adjustment Event a notice specifying the date on which any such Adjustment Event is to occur together with a description thereof.

In each case of an adjustment in the Shares or other securities receivable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of such adjustment. Such notice shall set forth the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

9. Reduction in Exercise Price .

The Company’s Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, reduce the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect at any time either for the life of the Warrants or any shorter period of time determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company shall promptly notify the Registered Holders of any such reduction in the Exercise Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Shares issuable to the holders of the Warrants pursuant to this Section 9 cause the holders of the Warrants collectively to own in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as at the date of the Note Purchase Agreement unless the Company has obtained the prior approval of its stockholders as required by Section 713 of the AMEX Company Guide as in effect from time to time, provided,

however, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently seek to obtain such approval of its stockholders.

For the purpose of clarity, under no circumstances shall the Senior Note Purchase apply to Senior Subordinated Notes owned by any of the parties. The “Note Amount” shall be equal to $5 million minus all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owing on the date Senior Note Purchase takes place in respect of an aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes equal to the Note Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Persistency may choose to deliver to I&S the Tethys Shares in lieu of effecting the Senior Note Purchase. In addition, if the fair market value of Persistency’s assets fall below $50 million, Persistency shall notify I&S of such event and, regardless of whether (i) through (ii) above have occurred, I&S may require Persistency to effect the Senior Note Purchase or deliver the Tethys Shares within thirty business days.

	2.		Agreement to Subordinate Right of Payment. In the event that Persistency effects the Senior Note Purchase, Persistency agrees that amounts owing on the portion of the Senior Indebtedness purchased by Persistency pursuant to the Senior Note Purchase shall be junior in right of payment to the Senior Secured Notes owned by I&S (but shall remain senior to all other indebtedness of CanArgo).

	3.		Termination of Guaranty

			At any time after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Persistency may give notice to I&S that the guaranty must be exercised or will terminate on the twentieth day after such notice. If such notice

			is given, the Purchase Option granted in the Intercreditor Agreement will also terminate on the thirtieth day after the date of such notice.

			In addition, the Guaranty shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect if (i) the conversion of Persistency’s senior subordinated indebtedness into Tethys Shares is subject to a successful claim of fraudulent conveyance or (ii) Persistency exercises its Purchase Option (as that term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement of even date hereof) set forth in such Intercreditor Agreement.
