For Value Received, RHINO OUTDOOR INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Company") hereby certifies that YAMABUGGY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Holder"), or assigns, is entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 31, 2010, ( "Expiration Date"), up to Fifty Million (50,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.  Holder may purchase such number of shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share, as appropriately adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, of $0.072 per share ("Exercise Price").  The Holder may purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal the Exercise Price divided by the net revenues paid to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Yamabuggy Sales and Distribution, Inc. pursuant to the Sales and Distribution Agreement dated October 15, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder may, at any time and from time to time, following a “Trigger Event”, purchase the shares of Common Stock. The term “Trigger Event” shall refer to the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any  merger or acquisition of the Company or any other business combination transaction to which the Company is a party. The term "Common Stock" shall mean the aforementioned Common Stock of the Company, together with any other equity securities that may be issued by the Company in addition thereto or in substitution therefor as provided herein.

The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for a share of Common Stock are subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth.  The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares".

Section 1.   EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, but in no more than three parts, on any business day prior to the Expiration Date by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office at the address set forth in the initial paragraph hereof (or at such other address as the company may hereafter notify Holder in writing) with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in  the form of a check, subject to collection, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Purchase Form.  If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant dated as of the date hereof and evidencing the rights of holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.  
 
1

Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, at the principal office of the Company, Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to Holder.

In addition to and without limiting the rights of Holder under any other terms set forth herein, Holder shall have the right, upon written request by Holder delivered or transmitted to the Company together with this Warrant, to exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part at any time on or before the Expiration Date, for the number of shares if Common Stock of the Company having an aggregate current market price on the date of such exchange, determined as provided in Section 3 below,  equal to the difference between (a) the aggregate current market value on the date of such exchange, determined as previously set forth, of a number of Warrant Shares designated Holder ("Designated Shares"), and (b) the aggregate Exercise Price Holder would have paid to the Company to purchase the Designated Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.  Upon such exchange, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be reduced by the number of Designated Shares and, if a balance of purchasable Warrant Shares; provided, that no fractional shares shall be issuable upon such exchange, and if the number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay Holder an amount by check, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

Section 2.   RESERVATION OF SHARES.

The Company hereby agrees that at all timer there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all shares of its Common Stock of other shares of capital stock of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than as provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation and any restrictions on sale set forth herein or pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

Section 3.   FRACTIONAL SHARES.

The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant.  In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the then fair market value of the of such fractional shares as determined by the Board of Directors.

(c)           Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, (such as an affidavit of the registered Holder) and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnification satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.  In the event that this Warrant is lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, Holder shall pay all reasonable attorney's fees and expense incurred by the Company in connection with the replacement of this Warrant and the issuance of a new Warrant.

issues by reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of this Common Stock or in exchange for its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock; then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action and the number and kind (if applicable) of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted so that Holder may receive upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the same aggregate consideration the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which Holder would have owned immediately following such action if Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action.  The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b)           Minimum Adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest share, as the case may be.

(c)           Deferral of Issuance or Payment.  In any case which an event covered by this Section 6 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to Holder, if this Warrant is exercised after such record date, the shares of Common stock and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to Holder by check any amount in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.

(d)           When No Adjustment Required.  No adjustment shall be required for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.  To the extent this Warrant becomes exercisable into cash, no adjustment shall be required thereafter as to the cash, and interest will not accrue on the cash.
