OPTION AGREEMENT

This OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 15, 2013, is made by and between Earth911, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Quest Resources Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”).

WHEREAS, Quest Resource Management Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company”), offers recycling management services (the “Business”).

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire that Buyer acquire an option to purchase from Seller all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Company held by Seller, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION X.

XXXXX OF OPTION

1.1. Grant of Option. Seller hereby grants to Buyer the right, privilege, and option (the “Option”) to acquire all of the membership interests of Company owned by Seller, consisting of 500,000 units (collectively, the “Units”). This Agreement shall constitute an option and not an agreement obligating Buyer to purchase the Units.

1.2. Exercise. The Option shall become exercisable by Buyer as of the date that all of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 hereof have been satisfied or waived (the “Effective Date”) and shall remain exercisable until terminated pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

SECTION II.

EXERCISE PRICE AND EARN-OUT

2.1. Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Units to be acquired pursuant to Section 1.1, upon exercise of the Option by Buyer, shall be an amount equal to the total of (a) $25,000,000 in cash or a cashier’s check or wire transfer plus (b) $5,000,000 in common stock (“Infinity Common Stock”) of Infinity Resources Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Infinity”), that owns all of the capital stock of Buyer, based on the average closing stock price of Infinity for the five-day period ending three days prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Exercise Price”).

2.2. Earn-Out. As additional consideration for the Units to be acquired pursuant to Section 1.1, following exercise of the Option by Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amounts set forth in this Section 2.2 (the “Earn-Out Payments”):

(a) in the event that the EBITDAS of Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 (the “2013 EBITDAS”) is at least $10,000,000, an amount equal to the sum of (i) 10% of the amount by which the 2013 EBITDAS exceeds $10,000,000 plus (ii) $5,000,000 in Infinity Common Stock, based on the average closing stock price of Infinity for the five-day period following Buyer’s receipt of the 2013 audit report;

(b) in the event that the EBITDAS of Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 (the “2014 EBITDAS”) is at least $11,666,667, an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the 2014 EBITDAS exceeds $11,666,667;

(c) in the event that the EBITDAS of Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (the “2015 EBITDAS”) is at least $11,666,667, an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the 2015 EBITDAS exceeds $11,666,667;

(d) in the event that the EBITDAS of Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 (the “2016 EBITDAS”) is at least $11,666,667, an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the 2016 EBITDAS exceeds $11,666,667; and

(e) in the event that the EBITDAS of Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, (the “2017 EBITDAS”) is at least $11,666,667, an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the 2017 EBITDAS exceeds $11,666,667.

Any Earn-Out Payment to which Seller is entitled hereunder shall be paid no later than 30 days following Seller’s receipt of the audit report and EBITDAS calculation for such period (“Buyer’s Report”), a copy of which shall be delivered by Buyer to Seller within 30 days of the due date of Infinity Resources Holdings Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period (if Buyer’s Report is not delivered to Seller within the 30-day period, Buyer shall pay to Seller a penalty of 1% of the Earn-Out Payment for such year for each month that Buyer’s Report is delivered late, which penalty will begin accruing 30 days after the failure to deliver Buyer’s Report); provided, however, that in the event of a dispute with respect to the calculation of EBITDAS, any Earn-Out Payment to which Seller is entitled hereunder shall be paid within five business days of the date the applicable EBITDAS is final and binding upon the parties.

For purposes of this Agreement, “EBITDAS” shall mean the Net Income of the Company for any such period, plus (a) Taxes deducted in determining Net Income, (b) any interest deducted in determining Net Income, (c) any depreciation or amortization to the extent deducted in determining Net Income, and (d) all stock-related charges deducted in the calculation of Net Income, in each case adjusted to deduct all amounts related to any other company or businesses acquired by Company or its subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Income” means, for any of the foregoing periods, the net income (or loss) for Company, determined in accordance with GAAP. Any disputes with respect to the calculation of EBITDAS shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures contemplated by Section 2.3 hereof.

2.3. Disputes. The following sets forth the procedures for resolving disputes between the parties with respect to the determination of EBITDAS:

(a) Within 30 days after delivery to Seller of Buyer’s Report, Seller may deliver to Buyer a written report (“Seller’s Report”) advising Buyer either that Seller (i) agrees with Buyer’s Report, or (ii) deems that one or more adjustments are required. The costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with Seller’s Report shall be borne by Seller. If Buyer shall concur with the adjustments proposed in Seller’s Report, or if Buyer shall not object thereto in a writing delivered to Seller within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Report, the calculation of EBITDAS set forth in Seller’s Report shall become final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge, or adjustment absent fraud. If Seller does not submit Seller’s Report within the 30-day period provided herein, then the calculation of EBITDAS set forth in Buyer’s Report shall become final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge, or adjustment absent fraud.

(b) In the event that Seller submits Seller’s Report and Buyer objects by written notice as set forth in Section 2.3(a), Buyer and Seller agree to confer in good faith to attempt to resolve any disagreements between Buyer’s Report and Seller’s Report. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such disagreements within 30 days after the date of Buyer’s written objection to Seller’s Report, then such disagreements shall be referred to a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer (the “Settlement Accountants”), and the determinations of the Settlement Accountants with respect to EBITDAS shall be final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge, or adjustment absent fraud. The Settlement Accountants shall use their best efforts to reach a determination not more than 45 days after such referral.

(c) Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.3. The costs and expenses of the services of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by Sellers if (i) the difference between (A) EBITDAS resulting from the determinations of the Settlement Accountants and (B) EBITDAS reflected in Seller’s Report is greater than (ii) the difference between (A) EBITDAS resulting from the determinations of the Settlement Accountants and (B) EBITDAS reflected in Buyer’s Report; otherwise, such costs and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by Buyer.

Neither Company nor any subsidiary of Company is subject to any material disability by reason of the failure to be duly qualified as a foreign organization for the transaction of business or to be in good standing under the laws of any jurisdiction. As used in this Agreement with reference to Company, the term “subsidiaries” shall include all direct and indirect subsidiaries of Company.

To the knowledge of Seller, neither the execution and delivery by Company of this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated hereby, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will result in the creation of any lien, claim, right, charge, encumbrance or security interest of any nature or type whatsoever with respect to any of the membership interests of any of Company’s subsidiaries or any of the assets of Company.

(l) Taxes.

The unpaid Taxes of Company and its subsidiaries (A) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (B) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of Company and its subsidiaries in filing its their Tax Returns. No claims for Taxes or assessments are being asserted or threatened against Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(vi) Statute of Limitations. Neither Company nor any subsidiary of Company has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

(vii) Certain Payments. To the knowledge of Seller, none of Company or any subsidiary of Company has not made any payments, is obligated to make any payments, or is a party to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make any payments that will not be deductible under section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. To the knowledge of Seller, none of Company or any subsidiary of Company has been a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(viii) No Partnership. Neither Company nor any subsidiary of Company is a party to any joint venture, partnership, or other arrangement or contract that could be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Neither Company nor any subsidiary of Company is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement.

(ix) Affiliated Group. Neither Company nor any subsidiary of Company (A) has been a member of an Affiliated Group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return and (B) has liability for the Taxes of any Person under Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2013, by and between QUEST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employer”), and XXXXX XXXX (“Employee”).

WHEREAS, Employer has experienced a change of ownership pursuant to the purchase and sale of certain shares; and

WHEREAS, Employer desires Employee to continue Employee’s services to Employer as Chief Executive Officer, and Employee desires to do so, upon the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment.

Employer hereby employs, and Employee hereby accepts employment, as Chief Executive Officer of Employer and of such affiliates of Employer as Employer shall designate and in such other capacities and for such other duties and services as shall from time to time be mutually agreed upon by Employer and Employee. Employee shall report to the Board of Directors of Employer.

2. Full Time Occupation and Other Activities.

Employee shall devote Employee’s entire business time, attention, and efforts to the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement; shall serve Employer faithfully and diligently; and shall not engage in any other employment or other business activities while employed by Employer. Employee agrees to comply with all of Employer’s policies in effect from time to time and to comply with all laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, those specifically applicable to Employer. Employee agrees to travel as necessary to perform his duties under this Agreement.

3. Compensation and other Benefits During Term of Employment.

(a) Base Salary. Employer shall pay to Employee a base salary of $300,000 per annum to be paid in equal monthly installments, or in such other periodic installments upon which Employer and Employee shall mutually agree, according to the regular payroll practices of Employer, and subject to applicable, authorized, and legally required deductions, withholdings, and taxes. By action and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Employer following input from its ultimate parent entity, Infinity Resources Holdings Corp. (“Infinity”), the base salary will be subject to annual review and may be increased, but not decreased without Employee’s written approval, based on performance of Employer and Employee.

(b) Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to participate in executive compensation programs maintained by Employer for its executive personnel. Employee also shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus in such an amount, if any, determined by the Board of Directors of Employer or such committee of the Board of Directors as may be designated by the Board of Directors following input from Infinity based upon achievement of performance goals and any other such factors as may be deemed relevant by the Board of Directors or committee thereof, which bonus opportunity for 2013 shall not be less than $250,000 if the 2013 EBITDAS (as defined in the Option Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2013, by and between Earth911, Inc. and Quest Resources Group, L.L.C.) is at least $10,000,000.

(c) Stock-Based Compensation and Awards. Employee may receive annual stock-based compensation awards, with the amount of such awards granted and the terms and conditions thereof to be determined from time to time by and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Infinity or a committee thereof.

(d) Fringe Benefits. Employee shall receive a car allowance of $750 per month. Employee also shall be entitled to participate in any group insurance, pension, retirement, vacation, expense reimbursement, and other plans, programs, and benefits approved by the Board of Directors or a duly constituted committee of the Board of Directors and made available from time to time to executive employees of Employer generally during the term of Employee’s employment hereunder. The foregoing shall not obligate Employer to adopt or maintain any particular plan, program, or benefit.

(e) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to a paid vacation in accordance with the applicable policies of Employer in effect from time to time.

(f) Reimbursement for Business Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Employee for all travel, entertainment, and other ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Employee in connection with the business of Employer and Employee’s duties under this Agreement. The term “business expenses” shall not include any item not deductible in whole or in part by Employer for federal income tax purposes. To obtain reimbursement, Employee shall submit to Employer receipts, bills, or sales slips for the expenses incurred. Reimbursements shall be made by Employer monthly within 10 days of presentation by Employee of evidence of the expenses incurred.

4. Term of Employment.

(a) Employment Term. The term of employment under this Agreement shall be for a period commencing as of the date of this Agreement and continuing until the date that is five years from the date of this Agreement (the “Employment Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4(b) below.

(b) Termination Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

(i) Death. Employee’s employment shall be automatically terminated, without notice, effective upon the date of Employee’s death.

(ii) Disability. If Employee shall fail, for a period of more than 60 consecutive days, or for 90 days within any 180-day period, to perform any of Employee’s duties under this Agreement as the result of illness or other incapacity, Employer, at its option, in its sole discretion, and upon written notice to Employee, may terminate Employee’s employment effective on the date of that notice, or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(iii) Unilateral Decision of Employer. Employer, at its option and in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Employee, may terminate Employee’s employment effective on the date of that notice or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(iv) Unilateral Decision by Employee. Employee, at Employee’s option and upon written notice to Employer, may terminate Employee’s employment effective on the date of that notice or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(v) Certain Acts. If Employee engages in an act or acts involving (A) a crime, moral turpitude, fraud, or dishonesty, (B) willful dishonesty, fraud, or misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of Employer, or (C) a material breach by Employee of this Agreement, Employer, at its option and upon written notice to Employee, may terminate Employee’s employment effective on the date of that notice or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(vi) Change in Control. In the event of a “Change in Control” of Employer (as defined below), Employee, at Employee’s option and upon written notice to Employer, may terminate Employee’s employment effective on the date of the notice (which shall not constitute a unilateral decision by Employee under Section 4(b)(iv) above) unless (A) the provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect as to Employee and (B) Employee suffers no reduction in Employee’s status, duties, authority, or compensation following such Change in Control, provided that Employee will be considered to suffer a reduction in Employee’s status, duties, authority, if, after the Change in Control, (1) Employee is not the Chief Executive Officer of the company that succeeds to the business of Employer, or (2) such company terminates Employee or reduces Employee’s status, duties, authority, or compensation within one year of the Change in Control.

(i) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i) (“Death”), 4(b)(ii) (“Disability”), 4(b)(iv) (“Unilateral Decision by Employee”), or 4(b)(v) (“Certain Acts”) above, Employee shall receive no further compensation under this Agreement.

(ii) In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) (“Unilateral Decision of Employer”) above, Employee shall for a period equal to the lesser of (1) 24 months after the effective date of the termination or (2) the remainder of the Employment Term, (A) continue to receive Employee’s base salary as provided in Section 3(a) above; and (B) receive coverage under Employer’s medical plan to the extent provided for Employee pursuant to Section 3(d) above at the effective date of the termination.

(iii) In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) (“Change in Control”) above, Employee shall for a period of 24 months after the effective date of the termination, (A) continue to receive Employee’s base salary as provided in Section 3(a) above; and (B), at Employer’s option, either (x) receive coverage under Employer’s medical plan to the extent provided for Employee pursuant to Section 3(d) above at the effective date of the termination, or, (y) receive reimbursement for the COBRA premium for such coverage through the earlier of such 24-month period or the COBRA eligibility period. In addition, all unvested stock-based compensation held by Employee in his capacity as Employee on the effective date of the termination shall vest as of the effective date of such termination.

(iv) In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i) (“Death”), 4(b)(ii) (“Disability”), 4(b)(iii) (“Unilateral Decision of Employer”), or 4(b)(vi) (“Change in Control”) above, Employee or his estate shall receive, for the fiscal year of the notice of termination, any earned bonus, on a pro-rated basis, based on the performance goals actually achieved for the fiscal year of the notice of termination, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Employer, at the time such bonuses are paid to other employees.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition precedent to receiving any post-termination benefits or payments identified in Sections 4(c)(ii), (iii) and (iv) set forth in this Agreement, Employee agrees to execute (and not revoke) a severance and release agreement acceptable to Employer (the “Release”). If Employee fails to execute and deliver the Release, or revokes the Release, Executive agrees that he shall not be entitled to receive any such post-termination benefit or payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the Release shall be considered to have been executed by Employee if it is signed by his legal representative in the case of legal incompetence or on behalf of Employee’s estate in the case of his death.

Any payments made by Employer pursuant to this Section 4(c) (other than the payment, if any, described in Section 4(c)(iv)) shall be paid on a monthly basis beginning on the first payroll date following Employee’s Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and not in a lump sum and shall be treated as a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A. Employee shall receive no additional compensation following any termination except as provided herein. In the event of any termination, Employee shall resign all positions (including positions on the Board of Directors) with Employer and its subsidiaries. If Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then payments shall not commence until six months following Employee’s separation from service to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional 20% tax under Section 409A (and in the case of installment payments, the first payment shall include all installment payments required by this subsection that otherwise would have been made during such six-month period). If the payment described in Section 4(c)(vi) must be delayed for six months pursuant to the preceding sentence, Employee shall bear the full cost of such payment during such delay period. Upon the date such payment would otherwise commence, Employer shall reimburse Employee for such payments, to the extent that such payments otherwise would have been paid by Employer had such payments commenced upon Employee’s termination of employment. Any remaining payments shall be provided by Employer in accordance with the schedule and procedures specified herein. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A with respect to amounts subject thereto, and shall be interpreted and construed consistent with such intent. Except as provided otherwise herein, no reimbursement payable to Employee pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of Employer shall be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred, and no such reimbursement during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(d) Change in Control. A “Change in Control” of Employer shall be deemed to have occurred if and when (i) any person, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, or other entity other than Infinity or an affiliate of Infinity becomes the beneficial owner directly or indirectly of equity securities of Employer representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of Employer’s then-outstanding equity securities, or (ii) Employer transfers substantially all of its assets to another person or entity that is not Infinity or an affiliate of Infinity.

5. Competition and Confidential Information.

(a) Interests to be Protected. The parties acknowledge that Employee will perform essential services for Employer, its employees, and its owners during the term of Employee’s employment with Employer. Employee will be exposed to, have access to, and work with, a considerable amount of Confidential Information (as defined below). The parties also expressly recognize and acknowledge that the personnel of Employer have been trained by, and are valuable to, Employer and that Employer will incur substantial recruiting and training expenses if Employer must hire new personnel or retrain existing personnel to fill vacancies. The parties expressly recognize that it could seriously impair the goodwill and diminish the value of Employer’s business should Employee compete with Employer in any manner whatsoever. The parties acknowledge that these covenants have an extended duration; however, they agree that the covenants are reasonable and are necessary for the protection of Employer, its owners, and employees. For these and other reasons, and the fact that there are many other employment opportunities available to Employee if his employment is terminated, the parties are in full and complete agreement that the following restrictive covenants are fair and reasonable and are entered into freely, voluntarily, and knowingly. Furthermore, each party was given the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel before entering into this Agreement.

(b) Non-Competition. During the term of Employee’s employment with Employer and for the period equal to the longer of 12 months after the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, and the period during which Employee receives cash severance pursuant to Section 4(c) (the “Non-Competition Period”) Employee (whether directly or indirectly, as owner, principal, agent, stockholder, director, officer, manager, employee, partner, member, participant, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, or in any other capacity) shall not engage or become financially interested in any Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, including on Employee’s own behalf, business, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, or other entity that sells or provides or attempts to sell or provide products or services that are the same, substantially similar to, or in competition with the products or services sold or provided by, contemplated by, or identified as a potential area of business by Employer as of the date of the termination of this Agreement. For further clarification, Competitive Business shall include, but not necessarily be

limited to, the following entities known to Employer to be a Competitive Business: Safety-Kleen/Clean Harbors, Waste Management, Republic Services, Rubicon, River Road, Rock Tenn, Liberty Tire Recycling, Xxxxx Tire Recycling, Darling International, Xxxxxxx, Five Winds, Earth Shift and Pure Strategies. The term “Restricted Territory” shall mean any state or territory of the United States in which Employer’s Customers (defined below) are located, have operations in, or in which Employer has provided services or consummated sales to such Customers at any time during the Non-Competition Period. The term “engage in” shall include, but shall not be limited to, activities, whether direct or indirect, as proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, member, agent, employee, consultant, or lender; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than three percent in the aggregate by Employee of the stock of a publicly held corporation shall not be included in such term.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of 24 months after the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, Employee shall not directly or indirectly, for Employee, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, business, firm, company, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or governmental entity, solicit for employment, seek to hire, or hire any person or persons who is employed by or was employed by Employer within 12 months of the termination of Employee’s employment for the purpose of having any such employee engage in services that are the same as or similar or related to the services that such employee provided for Employer.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of 24 months after the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, Employee shall not, either for Employee or for any other person, business, company, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity, for any reason, either directly or indirectly, call on or attempt to call on, contact or attempt to contact, solicit or attempt to solicit, assist in the solicitation of or attempt to assist in the solicitation of, take away or attempt to take away, divert away or attempt to divert away, any Customer of Employer, including, but not limited to, any Customer who became or becomes a Customer of Employer through Employee’s efforts or contacts, for the purpose of providing similar products or services as provided by Employer. For the purpose of this Section, “Customer” means Employer’s current principal customers, consisting of Walmart, Aramark, CNH, Sam’s Club, Xxxx Xxx US Airways, First Transforming Travel, AutoNation, Carmax, Xxxxx Xxxxx LaSalle, Garda, Greyhound, AT&T, AAFES, Old Dominion Freight Line, FedEx, Hendric Autogroup, Simon Malls, Pactiv, and International Paper as well as any other person, company, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, business, educational institution, charitable organization, not-for-profit organization, governmental unit, or other entity that is or was an actual or prospective Customer of Employer during Employee’s employment with Employer.

(e) Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Employee agrees that Employer’s products, services, and methods of doing business are unique, and that Employer has a legitimate business interest in protecting its Confidential Information (as defined below). Employer, therefore, is unwilling to enter into and perform this Agreement unless Employee enters into the agreements contained in this Section and its subsections. To induce Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employee agrees as follows: Employee acknowledges that (i) Employer’s products and services are unique; (ii) Employer’s business is “relationship based”; (iii) through great effort and at incalculable expense, Employer has developed and maintained and can and will continue to develop and maintain invaluable business relationships (contractual and prospective) with Employer’s customers or clients, as well as service and product providers and vendors, and individuals who are employed by or represent the foregoing (collectively, “Business Relationships”); and (iv) in the course of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee became or will become aware of and familiar with proprietary, secret, and Confidential Information relating to Employer’s business. This “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, methods, designs, and other information related to Employer’s products and services, proprietary software systems, information concerning internal business operations, including expansion and business development plans, financial results of operations and projections of financial performance, contractual and prospective Business Relationships, financial data and records, marketing plans, procedures, client lists, information, and requirements, vendor lists, information, and requirements, compilations of information, programming strategies and techniques, methods of doing business, design systems, business strategy plans, and other documents and information that is used in the operation, technology, development, and other and business dealings of Employer. Employee covenants and agrees that all of the foregoing information is required to be maintained in confidence for the continued success of Employer, all of which proprietary, secret, or confidential information constitutes “Trade Secrets” as that phrase is defined and applied under any applicable law. Employee further covenants and agrees that Employer’s Trade Secrets will not be misappropriated by Employee at any time, and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Employer at all times, including after termination of any consulting relationship between Employee and Employer, and that Employee will not, without the prior written consent of Employer, at any time during or after Employee’s employment with Employer, directly or indirectly, (v) misappropriate or otherwise make any use of such Trade Secrets or Confidential Information; or (w) release or otherwise divulge such Trade Secrets or any other proprietary, secret, or Confidential Information of Employer to any third party. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section, Employee shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section if Employee: (x) discloses information pursuant to express written authorization of Employer; (y) discloses information already in the public domain, provided such information was not wrongfully disclosed into the public domain in the first instance; or (z) discloses information to any governmental authority or court, pursuant to a duty imposed by law (provided, however, that Employee shall notify Employer of the disclosure at least five business days prior to such disclosure).

(f) Return of Books, Records, Papers, and Equipment. At any time as requested by Employer, or upon the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason, Employee shall deliver promptly to Employer all files, lists, books, records, manuals, memoranda, drawings, and specifications; all cost, pricing, and other financial data; all other written or printed materials and computers, cell phones, PDAs, and other equipment that are the property of Employer (and any copies of them); and all other materials that may contain Confidential Information relating to the business of Employer, which Employee may then have in Employee’s possession or control, whether prepared by Employee or not.

(g) Assignment of Product.

(i) It is fully understood by Employee that the results of all services performed by Employee during the term of this Agreement belong solely to Employer. Employee hereby assigns to Employer all right and title to any discovery, production, invention, improvement, modification, device, information, or process related in any way to Employer’s business (collectively, the “Product”), which Employee may develop or discover during Employee’s employment with Employer. Employee agrees and understands that this assignment is binding without relation to the location of the Product and includes any Product developed off of Employer’s premises, including, but not limited to, work done by Employee on Employee’s own time, at Employee’s residence or elsewhere during the term of this Agreement. This assignment shall survive Employee’s termination of employment for six months, and without limit if the Product relates to or uses Employer’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

(ii) In connection with any of the Product referred to in Section 5(g)(i), Employee will promptly disclose such Product to Employer and Employee will, if deemed necessary by Employer and on Employer’s request, promptly execute a specific assignment of title to Employer and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by Employer for the purpose of vesting, confirming, or securing Employer title to the Product, and Employee will do anything else reasonably necessary to enable Employer to secure a patent, copyright, or other form of protection thereof in the United States and in other countries even after the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer.

(iii) Employee has identified on Schedule 1 of this Agreement all Product not assigned by this section, if any, in which Employee has any right, title, or interest, and which were made, conceived, or written wholly or in part by Employee prior to his employment with Employer and which relate to the actual or anticipated business, research, or development of Employer. If Employee does not have any to identify, Employee has written or typed “none” on this line: NONE. Employee represents that he is not a party to any agreements which would limit his ability to assign Product as provided for in this Agreement.

(h) Equitable Relief. In the event a violation of any of the restrictions contained in this Section occurs, Employer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (without being required to post bond), reasonable attorneys’ fees, and damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such violation, which right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Employer may be entitled. In the event of a violation of any provision of subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section, the period for which those provisions would remain in effect shall be extended for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have been finally terminated in good faith.

(i) Restrictions Separable. If the scope of any provision of this Agreement (whether in this Section 5 or otherwise) is found by a Court to be too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties agree that the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in any proceeding to enforce this Agreement, so that such provision can be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each and every restriction set forth in this Section 5 is independent and severable from the others, and no such restriction shall be rendered unenforceable by virtue of the fact that, for any reason, any other or others of them may be unenforceable in whole or in part.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made, and received (i) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (ii) if by facsimile or e-mail transmission, upon receipt, (iii) if mailed, three days after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as provided below, or (iv) if by a courier delivery service providing overnight or “next-day” delivery, on the next business day after deposit with such service addressed as follows:

(e) Binding Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, except that no party may assign or transfer such party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

(g) Provisions Separable.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2013, by and between QUEST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employer”), and XXXX XXXXX (“Consultant”).

WHEREAS, Employer has experienced a change of ownership pursuant to the purchase and sale of certain shares; and

WHEREAS, Employer desires Consultant to continue his services to Employer as Special Projects Consultant, and Consultant desires to do so, upon the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

8. Engagement.

Employer hereby engages, and Consultant hereby accepts engagement, as a part-time employee of Employer and of such affiliates of Employer as Employer shall designate and in such other capacities and for such other duties and services as shall from time to time be mutually agreed upon by Employer and Consultant. Consultant shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of Employer.

9. Part Time Occupation and Other Activities.

Consultant shall devote Consultant’s business time, attention, and efforts to the performance of Consultant’s duties under this Agreement for no fewer than 20 hours of work per month; shall serve Employer faithfully and diligently; and shall not engage in any other employment or other business activities that would result in a conflict of interest or compete in any way with Employer while engaged by Employer. Consultant agrees to comply with all of Employer’s policies in effect from time to time and to comply with all laws, rules, and regulations, including, but not limited to, those specifically applicable to Employer. Consultant agrees to travel as necessary to perform his duties under this Agreement.

10. Compensation and other Benefits During Term of Engagement.

(a) Compensation. Employer shall pay to Consultant compensation of $25,000 per annum to be paid in equal monthly installments, or in such other periodic installments upon which Employer and Consultant shall mutually agree, according to the regular payroll practices of Employer, and subject to applicable, authorized, and legally required deductions, withholdings, and taxes. By action and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Employer following input from its ultimate parent entity, Infinity Resources Holdings Corp. (“Infinity”), the compensation will be subject to annual review and may be increased, but not decreased without Consultant’s written approval, based on performance of Consultant.

(b) Fringe Benefits. Consultant may participate in any group insurance, pension, retirement, vacation, expense reimbursement, and other plans, programs, and benefits approved by the Board of Directors or a duly constituted committee of the Board of Directors and made available from time to time to part-time employees of Employer generally during the term of Consultant’s engagement hereunder, subject to any limitations of such benefit plans based on the part-time status of Consultant. The foregoing shall not obligate Employer to adopt or maintain any particular plan, program, or benefit.

(d) Reimbursement for Business Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Consultant for all travel, entertainment, and other ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Consultant in connection with the business of Employer and Consultant’s duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that Consultant shall not incur such expenses in an amount in excess of $500 during any month without written authorization from Employer. The term “business expenses” shall not include any item not deductible in whole or in part by Employer for federal income tax purposes. To obtain reimbursement, Consultant shall submit to Employer receipts, bills, or sales slips for the expenses incurred. Reimbursements shall be made by Employer monthly within 10 days of presentation by Consultant of evidence of the expenses incurred.

11. Term of Engagement.

(a) Engagement Term. The term of engagement under this Agreement shall be for a period commencing as of the date of this Agreement and continuing until the date that is five years from the date of this Agreement (the “Engagement Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4(b) below.

(b) Termination Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

(i) Death. Consultant’s engagement shall be automatically terminated, without notice, effective upon the date of Consultant’s death.

(ii) Disability. If Consultant shall fail, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or for 30 days within any 60-day period, to perform any of Consultant’s duties under this Agreement as the result of illness or other incapacity, Employer, at its option, in its sole discretion, and upon written notice to Consultant, may terminate Consultant’s engagement effective on the date of that notice, or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(iii) Unilateral Decision of Employer. Employer, at its option and in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Consultant, may terminate Consultant’s engagement effective on the date of that notice or at any other date as specified in the notice.

(iv) Unilateral Decision by Consultant. Consultant, at Consultant’s option and upon written notice to Employer, may terminate Consultant’s engagement effective on the date of that notice or at any other date as specified in the notice.

In the event of the termination of Consultant’s engagement, Consultant shall receive all required payments up to and including the date of termination, and will receive no further compensation under this Agreement.

12. Competition and Confidential Information.

(a) Interests to be Protected. The parties acknowledge that Consultant will perform essential services for Employer, its employees, and its owners during the term of Consultant’s engagement with Employer. Consultant will be exposed to, have access to, and work with, a considerable amount of Confidential Information (as defined below). The parties also expressly recognize and acknowledge that the personnel of Employer have been trained by, and are valuable to, Employer and that Employer will incur substantial recruiting and training expenses if Employer must hire new personnel or retrain existing personnel to fill vacancies. The parties expressly recognize that it could seriously impair the goodwill and diminish the value of Employer’s business should Consultant compete with Employer in any manner whatsoever. The parties acknowledge that these covenants have an extended duration; however, they agree that the covenants are reasonable and are necessary for the protection of Employer, its owners, and employees. For these and other reasons, and the fact that there are many other employment opportunities available to Consultant if his engagement is terminated, the parties are in full and complete agreement that the following restrictive covenants are fair and reasonable and are entered into freely, voluntarily, and knowingly. Furthermore, each party was given the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel before entering into this Agreement.

(b) Non-Competition. During the term of Consultant’s engagement with Employer and for the period of 12 months after the termination of Consultant’s engagement with Employer (the “Non-Competition Period”), Consultant (whether directly or indirectly, as owner, principal, agent, stockholder, director, officer, manager, employee, partner, member, participant, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, or in any other capacity) shall not engage or become financially interested in any Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, including on Consultant’s own behalf, business, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, or other entity that sells or provides or attempts to sell or provide products or services that are the same, substantially similar to, or in competition with the products or services sold or provided by, contemplated by, or identified as a potential area of business by Employer, and with which Consultant had personal knowledge, contacts, or business dealings during his engagement, as of the date of the termination of this Agreement. For further clarification, Competitive Business shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following entities known to Employer to be a Competitive Business: Safety-Kleen/Clean Harbors, Waste Management, Republic Services, Rubicon, River Road, Rock Tenn, Liberty Tire Recycling, Xxxxx Tire Recycling, Darling International, Xxxxxxx, Five Winds, Earth Shift and Pure Strategies. The term “Restricted Territory” shall mean any state or territory of the United States in which Employer’s Customers (defined below) are located, have operations in, or in which Employer has provided services or consummated sales to such Customers at any time during the Non-Competition Period. The term “engage in” shall include, but shall not be limited to, activities, whether direct or indirect, as proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, member, agent, employee, consultant, or lender; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than three percent in the aggregate by Consultant of the stock of a publicly held corporation shall not be included in such term.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of Consultant’s engagement, and for a period of 24 months after the termination of Consultant’s engagement with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, Consultant shall not directly or indirectly, for Consultant, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, business, firm, company, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or governmental entity, solicit for employment, seek to hire, or hire any person or persons who is employed by or was employed by Employer within 12 months of the termination of Consultant’s engagement, and who had personal contact or business dealings with Consultant during the course of Consultant’s engagement, for the purpose of having any such employee engage in services that are the same as or similar or related to the services that such employee provided for Employer.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the term of Consultant’s engagement and for a period of 24 months after the termination of Consultant’s engagement with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, Consultant shall not, either for Consultant or for any other person, business, company, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity, for any reason, either directly or indirectly, call on or attempt to call on, contact or attempt to contact, solicit or attempt to solicit, assist in the solicitation of or attempt to assist in the solicitation of, take away or attempt to take away, divert away or attempt to divert away, any Customer of Employer with whom Consultant had contact, personal knowledge about or worked with, including, but not limited to, any Customer who became or becomes a Customer of Employer through Consultant’s efforts or contacts, for the purpose of providing similar products or services as provided by Employer. For the purpose of this Section, “Customer” means Employer’s current principal customers, consisting of Walmart, Aramark, CNH, Sam’s Club, Xxxx Xxx, US Airways, First Transforming Travel, AutoNation, Carmax, Xxxxx Xxxxx LaSalle, Garda, Greyhound, AT&T, AAFES, Old Dominion Freight Line, FedEx, Hendric Autogroup, Simon Malls, Pactiv, and International Paper as well as any other person, firm, company, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, business, educational institution, charitable organization, not-for-profit organization, governmental unit, or other entity that is or was an actual or prospective Customer of Employer during Consultant’s engagement with Employer.

(e) Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Consultant agrees that Employer’s products, services, and methods of doing business are unique, and that Employer has a legitimate business interest in protecting its Confidential Information (as defined below). Employer, therefore, is unwilling to enter into and perform this Agreement unless Consultant enters into the agreements contained in this Section and its subsections. To induce Employer to enter into this Agreement, Consultant agrees as follows: Consultant acknowledges that (i) Employer’s products and services are unique; (ii) Employer’s business is “relationship based”; (iii) through great effort and at incalculable expense, Employer has developed and maintained and can and will continue to develop and maintain invaluable business relationships (contractual and prospective) with Employer’s customers or clients, as well as service and product providers and vendors, and individuals who are employed by or represent the foregoing (collectively, “Business Relationships”); and (iv) in the course of Consultant’s engagement with Employer, Consultant became or will become aware of and familiar with proprietary, secret, and Confidential Information relating to Employer’s business. This “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, methods, designs, and other information related to Employer’s products and services, proprietary software systems, information concerning internal business operations, including expansion and business development plans, financial results of operations and projections of financial performance, contractual and prospective Business Relationships, financial data and records, marketing plans, procedures, client lists, information, and requirements, vendor lists, information, and requirements, compilations of information, programming strategies and techniques, methods of doing business, design systems, business strategy plans, and other documents and information that is used in the operation, technology, development, and other and business dealings of Employer. Consultant covenants and agrees that all of the foregoing information is required to be maintained in confidence for the continued success of Employer, all of which proprietary, secret, or confidential information constitutes “Trade Secrets” as that phrase is defined and applied under any applicable law. Consultant further covenants and agrees that Employer’s Trade Secrets will not be misappropriated by Consultant at any time, and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Employer at all times, including after termination of any consulting relationship between Consultant and Employer, and that Consultant will not, without the prior written consent of Employer, at any time during or after Consultant’s engagement with Employer, directly or indirectly, (v) misappropriate or otherwise make any use of such Trade Secrets or Confidential Information; or (w) release or otherwise divulge such Trade Secrets or any other proprietary, secret, or Confidential Information of Employer to any third party. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section, Consultant shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section if Consultant: (x) discloses information pursuant to express written authorization of Employer; (y) discloses information already in the public domain, provided such information was not wrongfully disclosed into the public domain in the first instance; or (z) discloses information to any governmental authority or court, pursuant to a duty imposed by law (provided, however, that Consultant shall notify Employer of the disclosure at least five business days prior to such disclosure).

(f) Return of Books, Records, Papers, and Equipment. At any time as requested by Employer, or upon the termination of Consultant’s engagement with Employer for any reason, Consultant shall deliver promptly to Employer all files, lists, books, records, manuals, memoranda, drawings, and specifications; all cost, pricing, and other financial data; all other written or printed materials and computers, cell phones, PDAs, and other equipment that are the property of Employer (and any copies of them); and all other materials that may contain Confidential Information relating to the business of Employer, which Consultant may then have in Consultant’s possession or control, whether prepared by Consultant or not.

(g) Assignment of Product.

(i) It is fully understood by Consultant that the results of all services performed by Consultant during the term of this Agreement belong solely to Employer. Consultant hereby assigns to Employer all right and title to any discovery, production, invention, improvement, modification, device, information, or process related in any way to Employer’s business (collectively, the “Product”), which Consultant may develop or discover during Consultant’s engagement with Employer. Consultant agrees and understands that this assignment is binding without relation to the location of the Product and includes any Product developed off of Employer’s premises, including, but not limited to, work done by Consultant on Consultant’s own time, at Consultant’s residence or elsewhere during the term of this Agreement. This assignment shall survive Consultant’s termination of engagement for six months, and without limit if the Product relates to or uses Employer’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

(ii) In connection with any of the Product referred to in Section 5(g)(i), Consultant will promptly disclose such Product to Employer and Consultant will, if deemed necessary by Employer and on Employer’s request, promptly execute a specific assignment of title to Employer and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by Employer for the purpose of vesting, confirming, or securing Employer title to the Product, and Consultant will do anything else reasonably necessary to enable Employer to secure a patent, copyright, or other form of protection thereof in the United States and in other countries even after the termination of Consultant’s engagement with Employer.

(iii) Consultant has identified on Schedule 1 of this Agreement all Product not assigned by this section, if any, in which Consultant has any right, title, or interest, and which were made, conceived, or written wholly or in part by Consultant prior to his engagement with Employer and which relate to the actual or anticipated business, research, or development of Employer. If Consultant does not have any to identify, Consultant has written or typed “none” on this line: NONE. Consultant represents that he is not a party to any agreements which would limit his ability to assign Product as provided for in this Agreement.

(h) Equitable Relief. In the event a violation of any of the restrictions contained in this Section occurs, Employer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (without being required to post bond), reasonable attorneys’ fees, and damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such violation, which right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Employer may be entitled. In the event of a violation of any provision of subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section, the period for which those provisions would remain in effect shall be extended for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have been finally terminated in good faith.

(i) Restrictions Separable. If the scope of any provision of this Agreement (whether in this Section 5 or otherwise) is found by a Court to be too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties agree that the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in any proceeding to enforce this Agreement, so that such provision can be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each and every restriction set forth in this Section 5 is independent and severable from the others, and no such restriction shall be rendered unenforceable by virtue of the fact that, for any reason, any other or others of them may be unenforceable in whole or in part.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made, and received (i) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (ii) if by facsimile or e-mail transmission, upon receipt, (iii) if mailed, three days after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as provided below, or (iv) if by a courier delivery service providing overnight or “next-day” delivery, on the next business day after deposit with such service addressed as follows:

In addition, in the event that Consultant plans to render services to a company that works in a similar field as Employer, Consultant agrees to provide Employer with as much notice as possible of Consultant’s intention to join that company or business but in no event will Consultant provide less than 60 days’ notice of that intention; provided, however, the provision of such notice and Employer’s receipt thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(e) Binding Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, except that no party may assign or transfer such party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

(g) Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

(h) Entire Agreement. Except as herein contained, this Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements, and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, including any employment terms, conditions, or provisions under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Employer, dated September 2008, and any modifications thereto, which shall no longer have any force or effect.

(i) Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

(j) Gender. Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context requires.

(k) Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.

14. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that because the obligations of Consultant hereunder involve the performance of personal services, such obligations shall not be delegated by Consultant. For purposes of this Agreement, successors and assigns shall include, but not be limited to, any individual, corporation, trust, partnership, or other entity that acquires a majority of the stock or assets of Employer by sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, or other form of transfer.

Exhibit C

Form of Non-Competition Agreements

(Attached)

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of , 2013, is made by and between Quest Resource Management Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quest”), and Xxxxx Xxxx, an individual (“Dick”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Dick is a member and a principal owner of Quest Resources Group, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Quest Resources”), which owns 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Quest.

WHEREAS, Quest Resources and Earth911, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Earth911”), entered into an Option Agreement, dated January 15, 2013 (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which, Earth911 has acquired an option to purchase Quest Resources’ 50% interest in Quest (the “Option”), bringing its ownership interest to 100%. The Option Agreement requires that Dick enter into this Non-Competition Agreement in order to protect the value of Earth911’s purchase and affiliated goodwill arising from the transaction. Dick derived substantial financial benefit from the Option Agreement.

WHEREAS, Earth911 was unwilling to enter into the Option Agreement unless Dick agreed to enter into this Agreement upon exercise of the Option.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Non-competition.

(a) Business Relationships and Goodwill. Dick acknowledges and agrees that Earth911 entered into the Option Agreement with the intent to purchase for substantial sums a 50% interest in Quest, that Earth911 would not have entered into the Option Agreement without Dick agreeing to enter into this Agreement, and that Dick will personally receive substantial financial benefit from such purchase. Dick further acknowledges and agrees that, as a member of Quest Resources, Dick has Confidential Information about Quest and has access to customers, clients, and business processes of Quest. Dick therefore acknowledges and agrees that there is a high risk and opportunity for any person in such position to use the goodwill developed between Quest and its current and prospective customers. Dick therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is fair and reasonable for Earth911 to take steps to protect itself from the risk of such misappropriation. Consequently, Dick agrees to the following restrictive covenants, and agrees that they are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill of Quest.

(b) Duration and Extent of Restriction. For the period ending on the date that is six years from the date of this Agreement (the “Non-Competition Period”), Dick shall not engage or become financially interested in any Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, including on Dick’s own behalf, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business, association, or other entity that sells or provides or attempts to sell or provide products or services that are the same, substantially similar to, or in competition with the products or services sold or provided by, contemplated by, or identified as a potential area of business by Quest as of the date of this Agreement. For further clarification, Competitive Business shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following entities known to Quest to be a Competitive Business: Safety-Kleen/Clean Harbors, Waste Management, Republic Services, Rubicon, River Road, Rock Tenn, Liberty Tire Recycling, Xxxxx Tire Recycling, Darling International, Xxxxxxx, Five Winds, Earth Shift and Pure Strategies. The term “Restricted Territory” shall mean any state or territory of the United States in which Quest’s Customers (defined below) are located, have operations in, or in which Quest has provided services or consummated sales to such Customers at any time during the Non-Competition Period. The term “engage in” shall include, but shall not be limited to, activities, whether direct or indirect, as proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, member, agent, employee, consultant, or lender; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than three percent in the aggregate by Dick of the stock of a publicly held corporation shall not be included in such term.

(c) Restrictions with Respect to Customers. “Customer” shall mean Quest’s current principal customers consisting of Walmart, Aramark, CNH, Sam’s Club, Xxxx Xxx, US Airways, First Transforming Travel, AutoNation, Carmax, Xxxxx Xxxxx LaSalle, Garda, Greyhound, AT&T, AAFES, Old Dominion Freight Line, FedEx, Hendric Autogroup, Simon Malls, Pactiv, and International Paper, as well as any other customer or client with whom Quest has, or will have, transacted business, at any time up to the end of the Non-Competition Period. In furtherance of, and without in any way limiting the restriction in subparagraph (b) above, and during the Non-Competition Period, Dick shall not, directly or indirectly

(i) request any Customers of Quest to curtail or cancel their business with Quest;

(ii) disclose the identity of any Customers of Quest to any other person, business, firm, company, partnership, limited liability company, or corporation engaged in a Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory if such identity is unknown to the public;

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Forte is a member and a principal owner of Quest Resources Group, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Quest Resources”), which owns 50% of the outstanding membership interests of Quest.

WHEREAS, Quest Resources and Earth911, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Earth911”), entered into an Option Agreement, dated January 15, 2013 (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which, Earth 911 has acquired an option to purchase Quest Resources’ 50% interest in Quest (the “Option”), bringing its ownership interest to 100%. The Option Agreement requires that Forte enter into this Non-Competition Agreement in order to protect the value of Earth911’s purchase and affiliated goodwill arising from the transaction. Forte derived substantial financial benefit from the Option Agreement.

WHEREAS, Earth911 was unwilling to enter into the Option Agreement unless Forte agreed to enter into this Agreement upon exercise of the Option.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Non-competition.

(a) Business Relationships and Goodwill. Forte acknowledges and agrees that Earth911 entered into the Option Agreement with the intent to purchase for substantial sums a 50% interest in Quest, that Earth911 would not have entered into the Option Agreement without Forte agreeing to enter into this Agreement, and that Forte will personally receive substantial financial benefit from such purchase. Forte further acknowledges and agrees that, as a member of Quest Resources, Forte has Confidential Information about Quest and has access to customers, clients, and business processes of Quest. Forte therefore acknowledges and agrees that there is a high risk and opportunity for any person in such position to use the goodwill developed between Quest and its current and prospective customers. Forte therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is fair and reasonable for Earth911 to take steps to protect itself from the risk of such misappropriation. Consequently, Forte agrees to the following restrictive covenants, and agrees that they are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill of Quest.

(b) Duration and Extent of Restriction. For the period ending on the date that is six years from the date of this Agreement (the “Non-Competition Period”), Forte shall not engage or become financially interested in any Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory. As used herein, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, including on Forte’s own behalf, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business, association, or other entity that sells or provides or attempts to sell or provide products or services that are the same, substantially similar to, or in competition with the products or services sold or provided by, contemplated by, or identified as a potential area of business by Quest as of the date of this Agreement. For further clarification, Competitive Business shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following entities known to Quest to be a Competitive Business: Safety-Kleen/Clean Harbors, Waste Management, Republic Services, Rubicon, River Road, Rock Tenn, Liberty Tire Recycling, Xxxxx Tire Recycling, Darling International, Xxxxxxx, Five Winds, Earth Shift and Pure Strategies. The term “Restricted Territory” shall mean any state or territory of the United States in which Quest’s Customers (defined below) are located, have operations in, or in which Quest has provided services or consummated sales to such Customers at any time during the Non-Competition Period. The term “engage in” shall include, but shall not be limited to, activities, whether direct or indirect, as proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, member, agent, employee, consultant, or lender; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than three percent in the aggregate by Forte of the stock of a publicly held corporation shall not be included in such term.

(i) request any Customers of Quest to curtail or cancel their business with Quest;

(d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Non-Competition Period, Forte shall not directly or indirectly, on his own behalf, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, business, company, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or governmental entity, solicit for employment, seek to hire, or hire any person or persons who is or was employed by Quest at any time through the end of the Non-Competition Period for the purpose of having any such employee engage in services that are the same as or similar or related to the services that such employee provided for Quest for a Competitive Business.

(e) Confidential Information. In his capacity as member and a principal owner of Quest Resources and as a key executive of Quest, Forte has received and had access to Confidential Information (defined below) of Quest. At all times, Forte shall maintain in strict secrecy all confidential or trade secret information relating to the business of Quest (the “Confidential Information”), and Forte shall not, unless first authorized by Quest or advised by counsel that such disclosure is required by applicable law or any governmental authority, disclose to, or use for Forte’s benefit or for the benefit of, any person, firm, or entity, any Confidential Information, except as required in the performance of any duties Forte may have on behalf of Quest. For purposes hereof, Confidential Information shall include without limitation any materials, trade secrets, knowledge, or information with respect to management, operational, or investment policies and practices of Quest; any business methods or forms; any names or addresses of customers or data on customers or suppliers; and any business policies or other information relating to or dealing with the management, operational, or investment policies or practices of Quest.

(f) Remedies for Breach. Forte acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 1, in view of the nature of the business in which Quest is engaged, Forte’s receipt of substantial financial benefit under the Option Agreement, and Forte’s relationship with Quest, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Quest and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to Quest. Forte agrees that, in the event of a violation of any of such restrictions, Quest shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees associated with or arising from efforts to enforce this Agreement, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Quest may be entitled. In the event of a violation, the period of non-competition referred to in subparagraph (a) above shall be extended by a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have been finally terminated in good faith.
