SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

AMP HOLDING INC.

AMP Holding Inc. (the "Company") has authorized for sale an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value common stock, together with common stock purchase warrants to acquire an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share for a period of three years, a form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”).  The undersigned hereby subscribes for the Shares (as defined on the signature page attached hereto) and the Warrants.

The undersigned agrees to pay the Subscription Price for the Shares and the Warrants (hereinafter, the “Securities”) being purchased hereunder.  The entire purchase price is due and payable upon the submission of this Subscription Agreement and shall be payable by wire transfer or check.  The Company has the right to reject this subscription in whole or in part.
 
 
The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities being purchased hereunder will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), or the securities laws of any state (the “State Acts”), in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and the State Acts; that absent an exemption from registration contained in the Act and the State Acts, the Securities, would require registration; and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is based, in material part, upon the undersigned's representations, warranties, and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Documents").

1.             The undersigned represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

a.           The undersigned agrees that this Subscription Agreement is and shall be irrevocable.

b.           The undersigned has carefully read the Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2012 (the "10K"), and the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on November 15, 2012 (the “10Q” and together with the 10K, the “Reports”), which are attached hereto as Exhibit B, as well as all other filings made by the Company with the SEC, and the related risk factors (the “Risk Factors”), which are contained in the Reports.  The undersigned has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering, the Reports and the Risk Factors and to obtain such additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of same as the undersigned reasonably desires in order to evaluate the investment.  The undersigned understands the Reports and the associated Risk Factors, and the undersigned has had the opportunity to discuss any questions regarding any of the disclosure in the Reports and the associated Risk Factors with his counsel or other advisor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the only information upon which the undersigned has relied is that set forth in the Reports and the associated Risk Factors.  The undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company, its employees, agents or attorneys, in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Reports and the associated Risk Factors.  The undersigned does not desire to receive any further information.

c.           The undersigned is aware that the purchase of the Securities is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk, that there is no guarantee that the undersigned will realize any gain from this investment, and that the undersigned could lose the total amount of this investment.  The undersigned acknowledges that the proceeds will be utilized for working capital.

d.           The undersigned understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness of the Securities for investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

e.           The undersigned is purchasing the Securities for the undersigned's own account, with the intention of holding the Securities with no present intention of dividing or allowing others to participate in this investment or of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Securities, and shall not make any sale, transfer, or pledge thereof without registration under the Act and any applicable securities laws of any state or unless an exemption from registration is available under those laws.  Unless such resale is registered with the SEC, the undersigned understands that it will be required to resell such Securities under Rule 144 as adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”).

f.           The undersigned represents that as an individual, he has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment in the Securities.  The undersigned has no reason to anticipate any material change in his or her personal financial condition for the foreseeable future.

g.           The undersigned is financially able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to hold the Securities indefinitely, or to afford a complete loss of his investment in the Securities.

h.           The undersigned represents that the undersigned's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned's net worth, and the undersigned's investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.  The undersigned understands that the statutory basis on which the Securities are being sold to the undersigned and others would not be available if the undersigned's present intention were to hold the Securities for a fixed period or until the occurrence of a certain event.  The undersigned realizes that in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with a present intent to resell by reason of a foreseeable specific contingency or any anticipated change in the market value, or in the condition of the Company, or that of the industry in which the business of the Company is engaged or in connection with a contemplated liquidation, or settlement of any loan obtained by the undersigned for the acquisition of the Securities, and for which such Securities may be pledged as security or as donations to religious or charitable institutions for the purpose of securing a deduction on an income tax return, would, in fact, represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the undersigned's representations to the Company, and the Commission would then regard such sale as a sale for which the exemption from registration is not available.  The undersigned will not pledge, transfer or assign this Subscription Agreement.

i.           The undersigned represents that the funds provided for this investment are either separate property of the undersigned, community property over which the undersigned has the right of control, or are otherwise funds as to which the undersigned has the sole right of management.  The undersigned is purchasing the Securities with the funds of the undersigned and not with the funds of any other person, firm, or entity and is acquiring the Securities for the undersigned's account.  No person other than the undersigned has any beneficial interest in the Securities being purchased hereunder.

j.           The address shown under the undersigned's signature at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the undersigned's principal residence if he or she is an individual, or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

l.           The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities.
