CONVERSION AGREEMENT

THIS CONVERSION AGREEMENT, dated as of February 21, 2013   is made by and between AMP Holding Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and Stephen Baksa (the “Holder”).
 
WHEREAS, the Holder owns a $100,000 debt (the “Loan”) payable by the Company as evidenced by that certain Promissory Note dated January 29, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to convert the Loan into 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire 250,000 shares of common stock in the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant” and together with the Conversion Shares, the “Securities”), and the Company has agreed to effectuate such conversion;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge the parties agree as follows:

                1.             Conversion .  The Loan is hereby convertible into the Securities.

2.             Closing .  Within five (5) business days of the Closing, the Company shall deliver the Securities to the Holder.

3.             Further Assurances . In connection with the actions take herein, the Holder, by entering into this Conversion Agreement, agrees to execute all agreements and other documents as reasonably requested by the Company.

4.             Holder Representations and Warranties and Covenants . The Holder represents warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:

a.   No Registration . The Holder understands that the Securities, including the shares of common stock issuable under the Warrant, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act” ) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

b.   Investment Intent . The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for his own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Holder further represents that it will not violate the Securities Act and does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to the Securities.

c.   Investment Experience . The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that the Holder can protect its own interests.  The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.

 
 

 
 
d.   Speculative Nature of Investment . The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of such investment and is able, without impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.

e.   Accredited Investor . The Holder is an “accredited investor’ within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 50 1(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

f.    Rule 144 . The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and the resale occurring not less than six months after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold.  The Holder acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities the Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

g.   Authorization .

i. The Holder has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Conversion Agreement, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms hereof. All action on the part of the Holder necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Conversion Agreement, and the performance of all of the Holder’s obligations herein, has been taken.

ii. This Conversion Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Holder, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms except: (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or by general principles of equity.

iii.  No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any court, governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by the Holder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Conversion Agreement by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

h.   Brokers or Finders . Such Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents, and the Company has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Conversion Agreement and the transactions related hereto.

 
 

 
 
i.   Tax Advisors . The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Conversion Agreement. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Conversion Agreement.

j.   Legends. The Holder understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the form as follows (in addition to any legend required by any other applicable agreement or under applicable state securities laws):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
 
       IN   WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers thereonto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

February 21, 2016_

This Warrant is issued to STEPHEN BAKSA   ("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 $0.40, TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND (250,000) 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.

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company and (ii) the number of shares of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Shares.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein may not be amended without (i) the written consent of the holder hereof and the Company and (ii) the approval of a majority of shareholders of the Company.

 
 

 
 
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 February 21, 2016 , 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.

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.
