Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) On November 2, 2015, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Terra Tech Corp. (the "Company") appointed Kenneth P. Krueger to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors. The vacancy was as a result of the Board increasing its size from seven to eight members. The Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Krueger satisfies the definition of "independent director" under the NASDAQ listing standards.

Ken Krueger, age 72, has been an investment professional since 1967. He is the co-founder of Canterbury Consulting, an independent consulting firm established in 1988 to provide comprehensive investment advice to institutional clients and high net worth individuals. Mr. Krueger served as Canterbury Consulting's Chairman of the Board of Directors from 1996 to 1997, founding board member from 1988 to 2011, President from 1997 to 2000, Chief Financial Officer from 1988 to 1996, and Head of Compliance from 1997 to 1998. Mr. Krueger has gained significant experience in designing and implementing internal controls, policies, and procedures, as well as overseeing regulatory compliance and corporate responsibility as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC. Prior to founding Canterbury Consulting, Mr. Krueger was with Kidder, Peabody & Co., and prior to that, was with Dean Witter & Company. Mr. Krueger earned a degree in Marketing from the University of Wisconsin, and completed graduate work at the University of Southern California. Mr. Krueger's expertise in marketing, human resources, budgeting, leadership, collaboration, and legalities, as well as his perspective on best practices and corporate governance matters and his approach to creating stockholder value, qualifies him for service as one of the Company's directors.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Krueger and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Krueger was elected as a director of the Company. The Company is not aware of any transaction requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, to the Company's knowledge, Mr. Krueger has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

In connection with Mr. Krueger's appointment to the Board, the Company and Mr. Krueger entered into an Independent Director Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2015 (the "Independent Director Agreement"), and an Indemnification Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2015 (the "Indemnification Agreement"). Pursuant to the Independent Director Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Krueger an aggregate of 350,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock, to be fully vested on the date of appointment. The Board reserves the right to compensate Mr. Krueger further from time to time to take into consideration the responsibilities associated with his continued service on the Board and, if any, different committees thereof, the form and amount of which compensation to be within the Board's sole and absolute discretion. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify Mr. Krueger, subject to certain exceptions, for claims against him that may arise in connection with the performance of his duties as a director of the Company.

On November 3, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Krueger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
