The date upon which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”
1.4 Effective Time.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Terra Tech, OneQor and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by Terra Tech and OneQor in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).
1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws; Directors and Officers.
(a) At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of OneQor as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by applicable Law, and (ii) the by-laws of OneQor as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.
(b) Subject to applicable Law, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time shall consist of the members of the board of directors of OneQor immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, the officers of OneQor at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Effect of the Merger on Common Stock.
At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Terra Tech, Merger Sub, OneQor, any Shareholder, any SAFE 1 Holder or any OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holder:
(a) Shares that are owned by Terra Tech, Merger Sub or OneQor (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;
(b) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 1.6(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Terra Tech Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;
(c) each OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Terra Tech Common Stock equal to the amount to which such OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE is entitled as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby for such OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFEs and such OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE after such conversion will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, on the sixty-first trading day after the Closing, each OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE shall automatically convert into the number of shares of Terra Tech Common Stock equal to the Conversion Amount (as defined in the OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE) divided by the Exchange Discount Price (as defined in the OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFE);
(d) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;
(e) no fraction of a share of Terra Tech Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of fractional shares, the Shareholders, the SAFE 1 Holders and the OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holders upon surrender of their Certificates as set forth in Section 1.8 shall be issued that number of shares of Terra Tech Common Stock resulting by rounding up to the nearest whole number of shares that each such Shareholder, SAFE 1 Holder and OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holder, as the case may be, shall receive as a result of the Merger; and
(f) if any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with OneQor, then the shares of Terra Tech Common Stock issued in exchange for such Shares will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and such shares of Terra Tech Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. OneQor shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Terra Tech is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.
5 |
1.7 Dissenting Shares.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 1.6, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 1.6(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Acquisition Shares, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Acquisition Shares, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6, without interest thereon. OneQor shall provide Terra Tech with prompt written notice of any demands received by OneQor for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to OneQor prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Terra Tech shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Terra Tech, OneQor shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.
1.8 Surrender and Payment.
(a) At the Effective Time, all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and, subject to Section 1.7, each holder of a certificate formerly representing the Shares (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of OneQor.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Terra Tech shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to OneQor (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the exchange agent in the Merger.
(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, but no later than three (3) calendar days therefrom, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of OneQor Common Stock that was converted into the right to receive Acquisition Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in form reasonably acceptable to Terra Tech and OneQor prior to the Effective Time and containing such customary provisions (including a provision confirming that delivery of Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Terra Tech Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Terra Tech: (A) the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Terra Tech Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6; and (B) the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8(c), each Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Terra Tech Common Stock. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Terra Tech may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Terra Tech Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Certificate. If any certificates evidencing shares of Terra Tech Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a new certificate for shares of Terra Tech Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
6 |
(d) Any portion of the Acquisition Shares that remain unclaimed by the Shareholders, the SAFE 1 Holders and the OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holders 180 days after the Effective Time shall be returned to Terra Tech, upon demand, and any such Shareholder, SAFE 1 Holder or OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holder who has not exchanged Certificates for Acquisition Shares in accordance with this Section 1.8(d) prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Terra Tech for issuance of the Acquisition Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Terra Tech shall not be liable to any holder of Certificates for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by Shareholders, SAFE 1 Holders or OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holders two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of Terra Tech free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(e) Any portion of the Acquisition Shares made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Terra Tech, upon demand.
1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in OneQor Common Stock.
All Acquisition Shares issued or issuable upon the surrender of Certificates and conversion of the OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFEs in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate and the OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFEs, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Acquisition Shares provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article I and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of OneQor shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Acquisition Shares and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
1.11 Withholding Rights.
Each of the Exchange Agent, Terra Tech, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation, and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or direct any other Person to deduct and withhold on their behalf, from any consideration payable or amounts otherwise payable or deliverable to any Shareholder, SAFE 1 Holder, OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holder and any other Person under this Agreement such amounts as are required or reasonably believed to be required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under any provision of any Law in respect of Taxes. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
1.12 Consideration Spreadsheet.
(a) At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, OneQor shall prepare and deliver to Terra Tech a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), certified by the Chief Executive Officer of OneQor, which shall set forth, as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Date, (i) the names and addresses or such contact information possessed by OneQor of all Shareholders and the number of shares of OneQor Common Stock held by such Persons, (ii) the names and addresses or such contact information possessed by OneQor of all SAFE 1 Holders and the number of SAFE securities held by such Persons, (iii) the names and addresses or such contact information possessed by OneQor of all OneQor Post-Closing SAFE Holders and the number of OneQor Post-Closing Convertible SAFEs held by such Persons, and (iv) in the case of the Shareholders and the SAFE 1 Holders, detailed calculations of the number of Acquisition Shares to be issued to such Persons in the Merger.
