Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Share Exchange Agreement with Edible Garden Corp.

On April 23, 2013, Terra Tech Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Edible Garden, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Edible Garden”), and the holders of common stock of Edible Garden. The principle holders of the common stock of Edible Garden consisted of Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, all of whom are brothers and each of whom held 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden. Additionally, Beverly Willekes, the sister of the four VandeVrede brothers, and David VandeVrede the father of the four VandeVrede brothers and Beverly Willekes, each held 4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Edible Garden.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company offered and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Edible Garden. Separately, Amy Almsteier, offered and sold 6,750,000 of her 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Ken VandeVrede, Mike VandeVrede, Steve VandeVrede and Dan VandeVrede, Beverly Willekes, and David VandeVrede (collectively, the “Edible Garden Shareholders”), each of whom acquired the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro-rata basis, based on their respective parentage equity interest in Edible Garden immediately prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder, on a 1-for-5.384325537 basis, into shares of common stock and has voting rights equal to 100 shares of common stock. The 6,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 41,290,091 shares of common stock and have voting power equal to 675,000,000 shares of common stock. The effect of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the third-party offer and sale of the 6,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock is that Edible Garden Shareholders now hold approximately 48.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and 53.7% of the voting power of the Corporation.

As a result of the share exchange Edible Garden is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Edible Garden is a retailer seller of its line of locally grown hydroponic produce, which is distributed throughout the Northeast United States. Edible Garden, a premier brand of sustainably grown produce, has rapidly expanded its product availability from just over 100 retail stores to covering close to 400 retailers throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania in less than a year. The Company believes that this rapid expansion has been due to consumers demanding fresher produce grown locally using environmentally sustainable methods.

A condition to closing of the Share Exchange Agreement was that the Company shall have entered into an equity line financing of an amount not less than $4,000,000, which condition was met when, on April 29, 2012, the Company entered into that Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 26, 2013 with Hanover Holdings I, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Investor”).

In connection with the share exchange with Edible Garden, the Company and Amy Almsteier entered Stock Redemption Agreement dated May 6, 2013, pursuant to which the Company redeemed 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Ms. Almsteier for consideration of $5.00.

Articles of Exchange were filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada on April 24, 2013.
 
Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Hanover Holdings

On April 29, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 26, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hanover Holdings I, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Investor”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Investor is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) worth of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Shares”), over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. 
 
 
2

 
 
From time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement, commencing on the trading day immediately following the date on which the initial registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as further discussed below, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide the Investor with draw down notices (each, a “Draw Down Notice”) to purchase a specified dollar amount of the Shares (the “Draw Down Amount”) over a 10 consecutive trading day period, commencing on the trading day specified in the applicable Draw Down Notice (the “Pricing Period”), with each draw down subject to the limitations discussed below. The maximum amount of Shares requested to be purchased pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice cannot exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice (the “Maximum Draw Down Amount”).
 
Once presented with a Draw Down Notice, the Investor is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount on each trading day during the applicable Pricing Period on which the daily volume weighted average price for our common stock (the “VWAP”) equals or exceeds a floor price determined by the Company for such draw down (the “Floor Price”). If the VWAP falls below the applicable Floor Price on any trading day during the applicable Pricing Period, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor will not be required to purchase the pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount allocated to that trading day. The per share purchase price for the Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice shall be equal to 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the lowest VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during the applicable Pricing Period; provided, however, that if the VWAP does not equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price for at least five trading days during the applicable Pricing Period, then the per share purchase price shall be equal to 92.5% of the arithmetic average of all VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during such Pricing Period. Each purchase pursuant to a draw down shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement. 
 
The Company is prohibited from issuing a Draw Down Notice if (i) the amount requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase an aggregate dollar value of Shares that would exceed the Total Commitment, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which would result in beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder). The Company cannot make more than one draw down in any Pricing Period and must allow 24 hours to elapse between the completion of the settlement of any one draw down and the commencement of a Pricing Period for any other draw down.

If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the shares to the Investor on the applicable settlement date, and such failure continues for 10 trading days, the Company agreed to pay the Investor, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 2.0% of the purchase price of such shares for each 30-day period the shares are not delivered, plus accrued interest.

Additionally, the Company paid to the Investor a commitment fee equal to $125,000 (or 2.5 % of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) in the form of 595,239 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Commitment Shares”), calculated at a price equal to $0.21 per share. The Initial Commitment Shares will be registered for resale in the Registration Statement, as discussed below.
 
The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Investor and its affiliates in the event that the Investor incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties under the Purchase Agreement or the other related transaction documents or any action instituted against the Investor or its affiliates due to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, subject to certain limitations.
 
The Company agreed to pay up to $15,000 of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documentation.

Registration Rights Agreement with Hanover Holdings
 
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, on April 29, 2013, the Company and the Investor also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file an initial registration statement (“Registration Statement”) with the Commission to register an agreed upon number of Shares, on or prior to April 29, 2013 (the “Filing Deadline”) and have it declared effective at the earlier of (A) the 90th calendar day after the earlier of (1) the Filing Deadline and (2) the date of which such initial Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and (B) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
 
If at any time all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are not covered by the initial Registration Statement, the Company has agreed to file with the Commission one or more additional Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable filing deadline for such additional Registration Statements as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.             
 
The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Investor from certain liabilities and fees and expenses of the Investor incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Investor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers and persons who control the Company against certain liabilities that may be based upon written information furnished by the Investor to the Company for inclusion in a registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement filed as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on the Form 8-K (this “Report”), respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

DRAW DOWN TERMS
 
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
 
Section 3.1.        Draw Down Notice . From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period, provide to the Investor a Draw Down Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as  Exhibit B  (the “ Draw Down Notice ”), which Draw Down Notice shall become effective at 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period specified in the Draw Down Notice;  provided however , that if the Company delivers the Draw Down Notice to the Investor later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, then the first Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall not be the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Draw Down Notice, but rather shall be the immediately following Trading Day (unless a subsequent Trading Day is therein specified). The date on which the Company delivers any Draw Down Notice in accordance with this Section 3.1 hereinafter shall be referred to as a “ Draw Down Exercise Date ”. The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested (which shall not exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested), establish the Floor Price for such Draw Down and designate the first and last Trading Day of the Pricing Period. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Draw Down Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice at the applicable Discount Price on the applicable Settlement Date. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Investor shall not be required to purchase, and shall not purchase, more than the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice. 
 
Section 3.2.        Limitation of Draw Downs . The Company shall not make more than one Draw Down in each Pricing Period. At least 24 hours shall elapse between the completion of the settlement of one Draw Down in accordance with Section 3.5 below and the commencement of a Pricing Period for any other Draw Down during the Investment Period. Each Draw Down automatically shall expire immediately following the completion of the settlement thereof in accordance with Section 3.5 below.
 
Section 3.3.        Reduction of Commitment . On each Settlement Date, the Investor’s Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total Draw Down Amount paid to the Company on such Settlement Date.
 
 
8

 
 
Section 3.4.        Below Floor Price . If the VWAP on any Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period is lower than the applicable Floor Price, then for each such Trading Day, the Draw Down Amount Requested shall be reduced by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 0.10 and (y) the total Draw Down Amount Requested, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day. If trading in the Common Stock on the Trading Market is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on any Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period, then for each such Trading Day during the Pricing Period the Draw Down Amount Requested shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day.
 
Section 3.5.        Settlement . The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of each Draw Down shall be settled not later than the third Business Day next following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period (the “ Settlement Date ”). On each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares purchased by the Investor by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided the Investor shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to the Registration Statement, against simultaneous payment therefor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds;  provided that if the Shares are received by the Investor later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, payment therefor shall be made with next day funds. As set forth in Section 3.6, a failure by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) to deliver such Shares on the applicable Settlement Date shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investor.
 
Section 3.6.        Failure to Deliver Shares.  If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the Shares to the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date and such failure continues for 10 Trading Days, the Company shall pay the Investor, in cash, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor, as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by the Investor on such Settlement Date for the initial 30 days following such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days (the “ Make Whole Amount ”). If the Make Whole Amount is not paid within two Trading Days following a demand therefor from the Investor, the Make Whole Amount shall accrue annual interest (on the basis of the 365 day year) compounded daily at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest then in effect as published by the Wall Street Journal plus 3.0% and (ii) 10.0%, up to and including the date on which the Make Whole Amount is actually paid. The Company shall not issue a Draw Down Notice to the Investor until the Make Whole Amount, plus all accrued interest, has been paid to the Investor in full.
 
Section 3.7.        Certain Limitations .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the extent that (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase a dollar value of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investor pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor or any of its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “ Ownership Limitation ”). If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice in which the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, such Draw Down Notice shall be void  ab initio  to the extent the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases of Common Stock by the Investor under this Agreement to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void  ab initio  to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investor pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates to exceed the Ownership Limitation, such Draw Down Notice shall be void  ab initio  to the extent of the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates, would exceed the Ownership Limitation.

Section 3.8.        Blackout Periods . The Company shall advise the Investor in writing of any changes to its policy on insider trading. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer or sell Shares to the Investor, and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, (ii) during any period (other than the period referred to in clause (iii) of this Section 3.8) in which the Company’s insider trading policy, as it exists from time to time, would prohibit purchases or sales of Common Stock by its officers or directors (each such period, a “ Blackout Period ”), except with respect to this clause (ii) as expressly provided in the immediately following sentence, or (iii) except as expressly provided in this Section 3.8, at any time from and including the date (each, an “ Announcement Date ”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “ Earnings Announcement ”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files (a “ Filing Time ”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement. If the Company wishes to deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer, sell or deliver Shares to the Investor during any Blackout Period, the Company shall, as a condition thereto, provide the Investor with the compliance certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as  Exhibit D , dated the date of such Draw Down Notice, which certificate shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable Pricing Period through and including the applicable Settlement Date, and the “bring down” opinions in the form mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, dated the date of such Draw Down Notice. If the Company wishes to deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer, sell or deliver Shares to the Investor at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall, as conditions thereto, (1) prepare and deliver to the Investor (with a copy to counsel to the Investor) a report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings or other projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “ Earnings 8-K ”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and its counsel, (2) provide the Investor with the compliance certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as  Exhibit D , dated the date of such Draw Down Notice, which certificate shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable Pricing Period through and including the applicable Settlement Date, and the “bring down” opinions in the form mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, dated the date of such Draw Down Notice and (3) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission (so that it is deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act), include such Earnings 8-K in a Prospectus Supplement and file such Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in each case on or prior to the date of such Draw Down Notice. The provisions of clause (iii) of this Section 3.8 shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that the delivery of the compliance certificate and the “bring down” opinions pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the delivery of the compliance certificate called for by Section 7.2(ii) and the “bring down” opinions called for by Section 7.2(xv) on the applicable Settlement Date, which Sections shall have independent application.

In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “ Investor Party ”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “ Damages ”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement;  provided however , that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from a breach of any of the Investor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (y) the Company shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this Section 9.1 to the extent, but only to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.
 
The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1;  provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.
 
 
40

 
 
An Investor Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.
 
To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law.
 
Section 9.2.        Indemnification Procedures . Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding;  provided however , that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
 
The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

(a)        In the event any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “ Investor Party ” and collectively, the “ Investor Partie s”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “ Claims ”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“ Blue Sky Filing ”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any prospectus supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
 
 
13

 
 
(b)        In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “ Company Party ”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor will reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;  provided however , the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
 
(c)        Promptly after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be);  provided however , an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent;  provided however , the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
 
 
14

 
 
(d)       No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
(e)        The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred;  provided   that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such payments to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such payments.
 
(f)        The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
7.          Contribution
 
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;  provided however : (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(b)        use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
 
(c)        furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
 
(d)        take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
