This Consideration Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 19, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Quest Resource Holding Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Green Remedies Waste and Recycling, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Investor”), and Alan Allred (the “Underlying Shareholder”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor, together with the Underlying Shareholder and Quest Resource Management Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Quest”), are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October __, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to sell to Quest, and Quest agreed to purchase from the Investor, substantially all of the assets of the Investor (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, as part of the consideration for the Transaction, the Company has agreed to pay Investor $2,684,250 in either cash or shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or any combination thereof, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for, among other things, the payment or issuance of the Consideration (as defined herein) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Investor to the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the Company and the Investor agree as follows:

1.Consideration. As part of the consideration for the Transaction, effective as of the Closing, the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Investor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, $2,684,250 (the “Consideration”), payable either in cash or shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) or any combination thereof in two equal installments, to be paid or issued on the following dates (each, a “Payment Date”): fifty percent (50%) of the Consideration to be paid or issued on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; and fifty percent (50%) of the Consideration to be paid or issued at the second anniversary of the Closing Date. To the extent the Company elects to pay the Consideration in Shares, whether in whole or in part, on any Payment Date, the provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 herein shall apply.

2.Issuance and Computation of the Shares.

(a)The number of Shares to be issued at each Payment Date shall be computed based on a per Share price equal to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or if the Shares are not traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the OTC Bulletin Board or the principal trading market of the Shares) during the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to each Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the “Market Price”).

1

(b)On each Payment Date, the Company shall issue to the Investor one or more certificates in the name of the Investor, or notify the Investor of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form to be held in a book-entry account maintained by the Company’s transfer agent evidencing ownership of the Shares, for that number of the Shares to be issued to the Investor calculated based on the Market Price of such Shares.

3.Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect not to issue any Shares hereunder to the extent that the issuance of such Shares would cause the Company to exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock on the applicable Payment Date (the “Cap”). In the event that the Company does not issue the Shares equal to the full Consideration that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to this Section 3 as a result of the Cap, the Company shall pay to the Investor, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Investor, an amount in cash equal to the value of the Consideration payment payable hereunder, less the aggregate value of the Shares actually issued to the Investor (calculated based on the Market Price of such Shares).

4.Legends. The Shares will reflect a restrictive notation or legend, as applicable, until such time that the Shares are not so restricted under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), together with any other notations or legends required by the applicable state securities laws or otherwise, if any:

“These shares of stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and have been acquired for investment and not with a view to, or in connection with, the sale or distribution thereof. No such transfer may be effected without an effective registration statement related thereto or an opinion of counsel in a form satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required under the Securities Act of 1933.”

5.Voting Agreement. From and after the Effective Date and for three years following the date the Underlying Shareholder ceases to be employed by the Company, each of the Investor and Underlying Shareholder agrees to vote all Shares it or any of their respective Affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), whether acquired hereunder or otherwise (collectively, the “Voting Shares”), at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action taken by written consent and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within its control, and the Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control (including calling special board and stockholder meetings), as follows:

(a)in favor of directors nominated and recommended for election by the Parent Board; provided that a majority of the Parent Board must be “independent” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq;

(b)against any stockholder nomination or proposal not approved or recommended by the Parent Board;

2

(c)in accordance with the recommendations of the Parent Board on all other proposals as the Parent Board sets forth in the proxy statements of the Company; provided, that (x) if both Institutional Shareholders Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC recommend a vote in opposition to the Parent Board’s recommendation (other than with respect to the election of directors or an Extraordinary Matter), or (y) a proposal relates to an Extraordinary Matter, the Investor shall be free to vote the Voting Shares freely so long as the Investor does not publicly disclose such vote.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Extraordinary Matter” means any merger, stock-for-stock transactions, or other event resulting in the Company’s stockholders retaining less than 50% of the equity interests and voting power of the surviving entity’s then outstanding equity securities; any recapitalization or restructuring; any spin-off or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of transactions; or any other business combination of the Company that requires a stockholder vote. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations under this Section 5 are only binding on the Investor, Underlying Shareholder and any of their respective Affiliates.

6.Investment Representations. The Investor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a)The Investor is acquiring the Shares for the Investor’s own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act, or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act.

If the Investor desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of such Registerable Shares, the Investor shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registerable Shares Investor wishes to include in such registration statement. If Investor decides not to include all of its Registerable Shares in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registerable Shares in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in the first two sentences herein.
