Item 2.04

Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 22, 2008, the indebtedness of Gulf Western Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) owed to Metage Funds Limited (“Metage”) and NCIM Limited (“NCIM” and together with Metage, the “Lenders”) under one-year convertible secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,700,000 matured and became due and payable on September 10, 2008.  The Company did not repay the indebtedness on that date, and as such, received notice of the default from Metage and a demand to audit the collateral securing the indebtedness and the books and records of the Company, as permitted by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 10, 2007 between the Company and the Lenders.  In addition, the interest rate on the obligations increased to 18% per annum until the default is cured.  Metage reserved any other rights that it may have under the notes, including the right to demand acceleration of the payment of the indebtedness.  

On November 14, 2008, the Company received a further notice of default from Metage and a demand for payment in full of the obligations owed under the notes by November 25, 2008 and/or delivery of all collateral to which Metage has a security interest if payment is not made by such date.  The note obligations to the Lenders are secured with substantially all of the Company’s assets.  According to Metage, the Company owes the $3,700,000 aggregate principal amount of the note, plus $47,136.99 of accrued and unpaid interest, plus $119,567.96 of default interest.  The amount of default interest is subject to a per diem of $1,824.66 after November 14.  Metage also reserved any other rights that it may have under the notes.
