THE FASHION HOUSE HOLDINGS, INC.
WARRANTS
The Fashion House Holdings, Inc., Colorado corporation (FHHI), certifies that, for value received, Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. (Trilogy), or registered assigns (the Holder), is the owner of One Million Two Hundred Thousand (1,200,000) Warrants of FHHI (the Warrants). Each Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase from FHHI at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) one share of the common stock of FHHI (the Common Stock) for $1.00 per share (the Exercise Price), on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in this Certificate.
1. Vesting; Expiration Date; Exercise
1.1 Vesting. The Warrants shall vest and become exercisable as of the date of this Certificate.
1.2 Expiration Date. The Warrants shall expire on January 17, 2009 (the Expiration Date).
1.3 Manner of Exercise. The Warrants are exercisable by delivery to FHHI of the following (the Exercise Documents): (a) this Certificate (b) a written notice of election to exercise the Warrants; and (c) payment of the Exercise Price in cash, by check or by net exercise as contemplated by Section 1.4 of this Certificate. Within three business days following receipt of the foregoing, FHHI shall execute and deliver to the Holder: (a) a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holder, and (b) if less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Certificate are exercised, a new certificate evidencing the Warrants not so exercised.
1.4 Net Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 1.3 above, the Holder may elect to exchange all or some of the Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
A
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrants being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
A = the Market Price on the date of receipt by FHHI of the exercise documents.
B = the Exercise Price of the Warrants being exchanged (as adjusted in accordance with the terms of Section 2 hereof).
The Market Price on any trading day shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such day, or, in the case no such reported sales take place on such day, the last reported sale price on the preceding trading day on which there was a last reported sales price, as officially reported by the principal securities exchange in which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the last sale price, or if there is no last sale price, the closing bid price, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (such as through the OTC Bulletin Board) or a similar organization or if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information. If the Market Price cannot be determined pursuant to the sentence above, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith (using customary valuation methods) by the Board of Directors of FHHI based on the information best available to it, including recent arms-length sales of Common Stock to unaffiliated persons.
1.5 Warrant Exercise Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if as of the date of exercise FHHI has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Holder may not exercise Warrants under this Section 1 to the extent that immediately following such exercise Holder would beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of FHHI. For this purpose, a representation of the Holder that following such exercise it would not beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of FHHI shall be conclusive and binding upon FHHI.
1.6 Restriction on Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate, Holder shall not be permitted to effect a net exercise of the Warrants: (a) prior to one year from the date hereof and (b) after one year from the date hereof if on the date of exercise the resale of the underlying shares by Holder has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement which is then in effect, and on such date the Holder shall be permitted to resell such shares pursuant to such registration statement, and the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq Stock Market or an exchange or quotation system.

2. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number and Kind of Conversion Shares
2.1 In the event that FHHI shall at any time hereafter (a) pay a dividend in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (b) subdivide or split its outstanding Common Stock; (c) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; then the number of shares to be issued immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder thereafter may receive the number of shares of Common Stock it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such action and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to reflect such proportionate increases or decreases in the number of shares.
2.2 In case of any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Section 2.1 hereof or a change which solely affects the par value of such shares) or in the case of any merger or consolidation or merger in which FHHI is not the continuing corporation and which results in any reclassification or capital reorganization of the outstanding shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, merger or consolidation, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares covered by Section 2.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to both this Section 2.2 and Section 2.1 (without duplication). The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
3. Reservation of Shares. FHHI shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrants, FHHI shall promptly seek such corporate action as may necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
4. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment in the Exercise Price, or number or type of shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants, the Chief Financial Officer of FHHI shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of these Warrants and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price. FHHI shall promptly send (by facsimile and by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.
5. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to FHHI of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Certificate, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of these Warrants, FHHI will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Certificate of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate.

8. Notices of Record Date
In the event:
8.1 FHHI shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of these Warrants), for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or to receive any other right; or
8.2 of any consolidation or merger of FHHI with or into another corporation, any capital reorganization of FHHI, any reclassification of the capital stock of FHHI, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of FHHI to another corporation in which holders of FHHIs stock are to receive stock, securities or property of another corporation; or
8.3 of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of FHHI; or
8.4 of any redemption or conversion of all outstanding Common Stock;
then, and in each such case, FHHI will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (a) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, or (b) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities as at the time are receivable upon the exercise of these Warrants), shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities), for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

9.3 Piggyback Registration. Unless the Registrable Shares are then included in a Registration Statement or can be sold under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume, whether pursuant to Rule 144(k) or otherwise, if FHHI shall determine to register any Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale in connection with a public offering of Common Stock (other than pursuant to an employee benefit plan or a merger, acquisition or similar transaction), FHHI will give written notice thereof to Holder and will include in such Registration Statement any of the Registrable Shares which Holder may request be included (Included Shares) by a writing delivered to FHHI within 15 days after the notice given by FHHI to Holder; provided, however, that if the offering is to be firmly underwritten, and the representative of the underwriters of the offering refuse in writing to include in the offering all of the shares of Common Stock requested by FHHI and others, the shares to be included shall be allocated first to FHHI and any shareholder who initiated such Registration and then among the others based on the respective number of shares of Common Stock held by such persons.

Upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts during the Registration Period that make any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or the related prospectus untrue in any material respect or which material fact is omitted from the Registration Statement or related prospectus that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or related prospectus so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (taking into account any prior amendments or supplements), FHHI shall promptly notify Holder, and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5, as soon as reasonably practicable prepare (but, subject to Section 9.5, in no event more than five business days in the case of a supplement or seven business days in the case of a post-effective amendment) and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to a purchaser of Shares from Holder, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prospectus supplement, the form of which has previously been provided to Holder, need be delivered in draft form to Holder.
9.4.3 FHHI shall promptly notify Holder upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of the Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof: (a) the receipt of any request for additional information from the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus; (b) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (c) the receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
9.4.4 FHHI shall furnish to Holder with respect to the Included Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as Holder may reasonably request, in order to

facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Included Shares by Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.
9.4.5 In connection with any registration pursuant to Section 9.2, FHHI shall file or cause to be filed such documents as are required to be filed by FHHI for normal Blue Sky clearance in states specified in writing by Holder; provided, however, that FHHI shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented.
9.4.6 FHHI shall bear and pay all expenses incurred by it and Holder (other than underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions and fees and expenses of more than one law firm) in connection with the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
9.4.7 FHHI shall require each legal opinion and accountants cold comfort letter in connection with the Registration, if any, to be rendered to Holder as well as FHHI and/or its Board of Directors.
9.4.8 As a condition to including Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement, Holder must provide to FHHI such information regarding itself, the Registrable Shares held by it and the intended method of distribution of such Shares as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares and, if the offering is being underwritten, Holder must provide such powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter.
9.4.9 Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, upon receipt from FHHI of a notice that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Included Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until FHHI notifies Holder that it may resume sales of Included Shares and, if necessary, provides to Holder copies of the supplemental or amended prospectus.
9.5 Blackout Event. FHHI shall not be obligated to file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the prospectus constituting a part thereof during the continuance of a Blackout Event; provided, however, that no Blackout Event may be deemed to exist for more than 60 days. Without the express written consent of Holder, if required to permit the continued sale of Shares by Holder, a post-effective amendment or supplement to Registration Statement or the prospectus constituting a part thereof must be filed no later than the 61st day following commencement of a Blackout Event.
9.6 Rule 144. With a view to making available to Holder the benefits of Rule 144, FHHI agrees, until such time as Holder can sell all remaining Registrable Shares under the provisions Rule 144(k), to:

9.8 Holder Indemnification. Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless FHHI, its officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls FHHI within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from FHHI to Holder, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by Holder or on Holders behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus.
9.9 Indemnification Procedures. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 9, such person (an Indemnified Party) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the Indemnifying Party) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent that) that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties (including in the case of Holder, all of its officers, directors and controlling persons) and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties shall designate such firm in writing to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such
- 9 -
Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
9.10 Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an Indemnifying Party is prohibited or limited by law, the Indemnifying Party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which, he, she or it would otherwise be liable under this Section 9 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where a party would not have been liable for indemnification under this Section 9 and (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning used in the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10. Nontransferability. Trilogy may not sell or transfer any Warrants to any person other than a director, officer, employee, manager or affiliate of Trilogy (or a person controlled by one or more directors, officers, employees, managers or affiliates of Trilogy) or to a person or entity that assists Trilogy in providing services to FHHI pursuant to the Letter of Engagement dated January 18, 2006 as the same may be amended from time to time, without the consent of FHHI.
11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of these Warrants is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of these Warrants shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
12. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective when delivered or, if delivered by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, shall be effective on the third day following deposit in United States mail: to the Holder, at Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc., 11726 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 235, Los Angeles, CA 90049; and if addressed to FHHI, at The Fashion House Holdings, Inc., 6310 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 330, Los Angeles, CA 90048 or such other address as Holder or FHHI may designate in writing.
13. No Rights as Shareholder. The Holder shall have no rights as a shareholder of FHHI with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the receipt by FHHI of all of the Exercise Documents.
