Warrant No. ___ Number of Shares: __________
AMP HOLDING INC.
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $.001 PER SHARE
VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME
[ ], 2015_
This Warrant is issued to _____________ ("Holder") by AMP Holding Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the "Company").
For value received and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set out, Holder is entitled to purchase from the Company at a purchase price per share of $0.50, [ ] ([ ]) fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Shares") of the Company. Such purchase price per Common Share, adjusted from time to time as provided herein, is referred to as the "Purchase Price."
1. The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the exercise form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company, or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing, together with a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the Purchase Price times the number of Common Shares being purchased.
2. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing Common Shares is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares represented thereby as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed. Until such time as this Warrant is exercised or terminates, the Purchase Price payable and the number and character of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
3. Unless previously exercised, this Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, on [ ], 2015, and shall be void thereafter.
4. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized Common Shares, free from all preemptive rights, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges.
5. If the Company subdivides its outstanding Common Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combines its outstanding Common Shares, the Purchase Price then applicable to shares covered by this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. If, at any time when the Warrant is issued and outstanding, the Company issues or sells, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), which shall not include Exempt Issuances (as defined below), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Purchase Price will be reduced to the price per share of the Dilutive Issuance but in no event shall it be less than $0.25; provided that only one adjustment will be made for each Dilutive Issuance. Exempt Issuance is defined as the issuance of securities associated with (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder, convertible securities, options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date hereof provided that such securities have not been amended since the date hereof to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise or conversion price of any such securities, or (c) securities representing up to 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company that are issued pursuant to an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that such an issuance shall only be to an entity (or to the equity holders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding shall be the number of outstanding shares of common stock disclose in the most recent Form 10Q or Form 10K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
6. In no event shall any fractional Common Share of the Company be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant as an entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 8, be entitled to receive a fractional Common Share, then the Company shall issue the next higher number of full Common Shares, issuing a full share with respect to such fractional share. If this Warrant is exercised at one time for less than the maximum number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor and date representing the number of Common Shares equal to the difference between the number of shares purchasable upon full exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares that were purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant.
7. Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
8. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Holder and any assignees of this Warrant. Holder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered by confirmed facsimile or telecopy or by a recognized overnight courier, addressed to Holder at the address shown on the warrant register.
9. This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws ("State Acts") or regulations in reliance upon exemptions under the Securities Act, and exemptions under the State Acts. Subject to compliance with the Securities Act and State Acts, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part, at the office of the Company at which this Warrant is exercisable, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed.
10. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company may issue a new warrant of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (a) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (b) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant (including a reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of any loss, theft, or destruction) and of indemnity with sufficient surety satisfactory to the Company.
11. Unless a current registration statement under the Securities Act, shall be in effect with respect to the securities to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder, by accepting this Warrant, covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, and at the time of any proposed transfer of securities acquired upon exercise hereof, the Company may require Holder to make such representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to the Company to permit such Common Shares to be issued without such registration.
12. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
13. Nothing expressed in this Agreement and nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties to this Agreement any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement contained herein, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
14. The provisions and terms of this Warrant shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
