GREEN ENVIROTECH HOLDINGS CORP.

COMMON STOCK WARRANT

Effective Date: [_____________], 2016

Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that XXXXX, and his assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time commencing on [date], 2016 (the “Effective Date”), and terminating on [date] date (the “Termination Date”) up to [number of shares] shares (each, a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per Share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per Share equal to $0.10 (the “Exercise Price”). The number of Shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Warrants shall be fully vested upon issuance.

1. Method of Exercise; Payment.

(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant, may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form (the “Notice of Exercise”) attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised.

(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this warrant pursuant to Section l (a) hereof, the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of such portion of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with Notice of Cashless Exercise annexed hereto as Exhibit C duly executed; provided that the Net Issue Exercise set forth in this Section 1(b) is subject to adjustments set forth in Section 4 of this Warrant. In such event, the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

	X =	Y (A-B)
		A

Where	X	=	the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.

	Y	=	the number of Shares subject to this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the time of such calculation).

	A	=	the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

	B	=	the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

(i) The average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or if the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board is not the principal market for the Company’s Common Stock, then the Nasdaq Stock Market or the closing price quoted on any other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, whichever is applicable, as published the Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value;

(ii) If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Nasdaq Stock Market or on an exchange or market, the fair market value of the Common Stock per share shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto. If parties cannot agree on the fair market value within five (5) business days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Board of Directors in good faith shall determine the fair market value of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be no greater than the price at which the Company last sold its Common Stock or the exercise price of its last granted options, whichever occurs later.

(d) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, as promptly as practicable after this Warrant is surrendered and delivered to the Company along with all other appropriate documentation on or after the date of exercise and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

(e) Taxes. The issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance.

2. Warrant.

(a) Exchange, Transfer, and Replacement. At any time prior to the exercise hereof, this Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the Company, alone or with other warrants of like tenor of different denominations registered in the name of the same Holder, for another warrant or warrants of like tenor in the name of such Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the warrant or warrants surrendered.

(b) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

(c) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 2, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Holder shall pay all taxes and all other expenses (including legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.

(d) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant (the “Warrant Register”), in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.

3. Rights and Obligations of Holders of this Warrant. The Holder of this Warrant shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities is issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Election to Purchase, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common Stock certificate.

4. Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends, Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event the Company: (i) pays a dividend in Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock (including a recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then (1) the Exercise Price on the record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after such event.

(b) Combination: Liquidation. While this Warrant is outstanding, (i) In the event of a Combination (as defined below), each Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon or as a result of such Combination had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof). Unless paragraph (ii) is applicable to a Combination, the Company shall provide that the surviving or acquiring Person (the “Successor Company”) in such Combination will assume by written instrument the obligations under this Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire. “Combination” means an event in which the Company consolidates with, merges with or into, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to another Person, where “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity; (ii) In the event of (x) a Combination where consideration to the holders of Common Stock in exchange for their shares is payable solely in cash or (y) the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of their Warrant, distributions on an equal basis with the holders of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the Exercise Price. In case of any Combination described in this Section 4, the surviving or acquiring Person and, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with an agent or trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the funds, if any, necessary to pay to the Holders the amounts to which they are entitled as described above. After such funds and the surrendered Warrant are received, the Company is required to deliver a check in such amount as is appropriate (or, in the case or consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is appropriate) to such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the Holders surrendering such Warrant.

5. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole share in lieu of that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Exercise Price.

6. Legends. Prior to issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, all such certificates representing such shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of Page 1 of this Warrant.

7. Disposition of Warrants or Shares. The Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.

8. Merger or Consolidation. The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly assume, by supplemental agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder, the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.

9. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein to the contrary, all notices, requests, demands and other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall only be effective if given in writing by certified or registered U.S. mail with return receipt requested and postage prepaid; by private overnight delivery service (e.g. Federal Express); by facsimile transmission (if no original documents or instruments must accompany the notice); by e-mail, or by personal delivery. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the business day immediately following the mailing thereof, if mailed by certified or registered U.S. mail as specified above; (b) on the business day immediately following deposit with a private overnight delivery service if sent by said service; (c) upon receipt of confirmation of transmission if sent by facsimile transmission; or (d) upon personal delivery of the notice. All such notices shall be sent to the following addresses (or to such other address or addresses as a party may have advised the other in the manner provided in this Section 9):

	if to the Company:	To the address of the Company disclosed in the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on the Company’s website.

	if to the Holder:	To the address of the Holder reflected in the Company’s records.

Notwithstanding the time of effectiveness of notices set forth in this Section, an Election to Purchase shall not be deemed effectively given until it has been duly completed and submitted to the Company together with this original Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in a manner set forth in this Section.

10. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of California. Any dispute relating to this Warrant shall be adjudicated in Tuolumne County in the State of California.

11. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

12. Headings. The headings of various sections of this Warrant have been inserted for reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

13. Severability. If any provision of this Warrant is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant, and the balance hereof shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded.

14. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.

15. Specific Enforcement. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Warrant and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which either of them may be entitled by law or equity.

16. Assignment. Subject to prior written approval by the Company, this Warrant may be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the then Holder by submitting this Warrant to the Company together with a duly executed Assignment in substantially the form and substance of the Form of Assignment which accompanies this Warrant, as Exhibit B hereto, and, upon the Company’s receipt hereof, and in any event, within five (5) business days thereafter, the Company shall issue a warrant to the Holder to evidence that portion of this Warrant, if any as shall not have been so transferred or assigned.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF COMMON STOCK WARRANT

PURSUANT TO NET ISSUE (“CASHLESS”) EXERCISE PROVISIONS

Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp.

		Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Issued Under this Notice:

CASHLESS EXERCISE

Gentlemen:

The undersigned, registered holder of the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock delivered herewith (“Warrant”) hereby irrevocably exercises such Warrant for, and purchases thereunder, shares of the Common Stock of GREEN ENVIROTECH HOLDINGS CORP., a Delaware corporation, as provided below. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given in the Warrant. The portion of the Aggregate Price (as hereinafter defined) to be applied toward the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to this Notice of Exercise is $____________, thereby leaving a remainder Aggregate Price (if any) equal to $____________. Such exercise shall be pursuant to the net issue exercise provisions of Section 1(b) of the Warrant. Therefore, the holder makes no payment with this Notice of Exercise. The number of shares to be issued pursuant to this exercise shall be determined by reference to the formula in Section 1(b) of the Warrant which requires the use of the fair market value (as defined in Section 1(c) of the Warrant) of the Company’s Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the day on which this Notice is received by the Company. To the extent the foregoing exercise is for less than the full Aggregate Price of the Warrant, the remainder of the Warrant representing a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the remainder of the Aggregate Price by the Warrant Price (and otherwise of like form, tenor and effect) may be exercised under Section 1(b) of the Warrant. For purposes of this Notice the term “Aggregate Price” means the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable times the Warrant Price.
