 Exhibit 4.1 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 18, 2014, by and between Quest Resource Holding
Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”). 

WITNESSETH 
 Purchasers
are acquiring from the Company shares of Common Stock of the company (the “Purchased Shares”), together with three-year warrants (“Warrants”), each to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to
the terms of individual Subscription Agreement and Questionnaires with each Purchaser (the “Subscription Agreements”). The Shares (as defined below) will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result, there will be substantial restrictions on the ability of the Holders (as defined below) to sell the Shares in the absence of registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state
securities laws. In order to enable the Holders to sell all or a portion of the Shares, the Company has agreed to the terms of this Agreement. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. REGISTRATION 

1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

(a) “Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

(b) “Blackout Period” means any period (i) beginning on the date on which the Company notifies the Holders in writing
that the Board of Directors of the Company, in its good faith judgment, has determined that the Company proposes to engage in a material acquisition, consolidation, tender offer, or other material transaction, including a primary underwritten
offering of its securities, in each case not in the ordinary course of business, such that registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its shareholders, and (ii) ending as
promptly as practicable but in any event not more than 90 days after the date on which the Company notifies the Holders of the Board of Directors’ determination. 

(c) “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. 

(d) “Holders” means those persons owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities. 

(e) “Maximum Includable Securities” means the maximum number of shares of each type or class of the Company’s securities
that a managing or principal underwriter, in its good faith judgment, deems practicable to offer and sell at that time in a firm commitment underwritten offering without materially and adversely affecting the price of the securities of the Company
to be offered. When more than one type or class of the Company’s securities are to be included in a registration, the managing or principal underwriter of the offering shall designate the maximum number of each such type or class of securities
that is included in the Maximum Includable Securities.

changed as a result of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or otherwise. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when they have been (1) distributed to the public pursuant to an
offering registered under the Act, (2) sold to the public in compliance with Rule 144 (as defined below), or (3) eligible for sale without restriction under Rule 144(k) under the Act.

amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation thereafter adopted by the SEC.

discretion, to cover the resale of some or all of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, the Company shall provide each Holder written notice thereof at least 20 days before
filing such registration statement with the SEC. The Company shall thereupon include in such filing (and any related filing or qualification under blue sky laws or other state securities laws) all of the Registrable Securities for which registration
is made available. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders participating in the registration pursuant
to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that a Blackout Period is in effect, the Company shall have the right to cause all sales to be delayed during the term of such Blackout Period;
provided, however, that the Company may utilize such deferral not more than once in any 12-month period.

 (d) The Company shall, in its sole reasonable discretion, select the underwriter or
underwriters, if any, that are to undertake the sale and distribution from time to time of the Registrable Securities included in a registration statement filed under the provisions of this Section 1.2. 

1.3 Piggy-Back Registration Rights. 

(a) If at any time the Company proposes to file on its behalf and/or on behalf of any of its securityholders a registration statement under the
Act on Form S-1, S-2, or S-3 (or any other appropriate form that may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities) with respect to any of its capital stock or other securities, the Company shall give each Holder written notice (which
notice shall include a list of jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, the proposed offering price and the plan of distribution) at least 20 days
before the filing with the SEC of such registration statement. If any Holder desires to have Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1.3, such Holder shall so advise the Company in writing within 10 days after the date
of receipt of such notice from the Company. The Company shall thereupon include in such filing (and any related filing or qualification under blue sky laws or other state securities laws) the number of Registrable Securities for which registration
is so requested, subject to its right to reduce the number of Registrable Securities as hereinafter provided, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect registration under the Act of such Registrable Securities on the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. 

  
 2 








 (b) the Holders participating in such piggy-back registration shall pay any additional
registration fee, payable to the SEC in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Act, incurred as a result of the inclusion of Registrable Securities on such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required
to provide notice of filing of a registration statement and to include therein any Registrable Securities if the proposed registration is: 

(i) a registration of stock options, stock purchases, or compensation or incentive plans, or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any
such plan, or a dividend reinvestment plan on Form S-8, or other comparable form then in effect; or 
 (ii) a registration of securities
proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with, a merger or consolidation with another corporation. 

(c) In the event the offering in which any Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to this Section 1.3 is to
be underwritten, the Company shall furnish the Holders with a written opinion of the managing or principal underwriter as to the Maximum Includable Securities as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 10 business days after the
expiration of the 15 business day period provided for in Section 1.3(a). If the total number of securities proposed to be included in such registration statement exceeds the Maximum Includable Securities, the number of securities to be
included within the coverage of such registration statement shall be reduced to the Maximum Includable Securities as follows: 
 (i) no
reduction shall be made in the number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be registered for the account of the Company in a primary offering of securities; and 

(ii) the number of Registrable Securities and other securities that may be included in the registration, if any, shall be allocated among the
Holders of Registrable Securities and holders of other securities (the “Other Holders”) requesting inclusion on a pro rata basis, with the number of each type or class of securities of each Holder and Other Holder thereof included
in the registration to be that number determined by multiplying (A) the total number of such type or class of security included in the Maximum Includable Securities less (B) the number of such type or class of security to be registered for
the account of the Company, by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of such type or class of security that such Holder or Other Holder owns, and the denominator of which will be the total number of such type or class of
security owned by all Holders and Other Holders that have requested inclusion of such type or class of security in the registration. 
 (d)
The Company shall, in its sole reasonable discretion, select the underwriter or underwriters, if any, that are to undertake the sale and distribution of the Registrable Securities to be included in a registration statement filed under the provisions
of this Section 1.3. 
 (e) The right to registration provided in this Section 1.3 is in addition to and not in lieu
of the shelf registration that the Company may effect pursuant to Section 1.2; provided, however, that in the event a Holder elects to participate in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 to register
Registrable Securities already covered by an effective registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Agreement, then such Holders shall be entitled to participate in such registration pursuant to this
Section 1.3 only if (i) such Holder pays the registration filing fee applicable to such Registrable Securities to be included in the registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.3, and such other registration
fees and expenses of the Holders otherwise payable by the Company pursuant to Section 1.6 to the extent such fees were incurred and paid by the Company in connection with the effective registration statement covering such Registrable
Securities, (ii) such registration statement to be filed pursuant to this Section 1.3 is in connection with an underwritten offering, and (iii) the Registrable Securities to be covered in such registration are not already
covered by a registration statement in connection with an underwritten offering. 

  
 3 








 (f) Any or all of the Holders of Registrable Securities may withdraw such Holder’s request
for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any piggy-back registration under this Section 1.3 by giving written notice to the Company of their election to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC.
The Company may also elect to withdraw a registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.3 at any time prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay all
registration expenses incurred in connection with such piggy-back registration as provided in Section 1.6 (including refunding any SEC registration fees paid by participating Holders pursuant to Section 1.3(a)). 

1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever effecting the registration of any Registrable Securities under Section 1.2 or
Section 1.3, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable: 
 (a) Before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents shall be made available for prior review by such Holders, underwriters and their respective counsel, and make such changes in such documents relating to such Holders or underwriters prior to the filing thereof as such Holders, underwriters
and their respective counsel may reasonably request; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not file any such registration statement or any amendment, prospectus, or supplement thereto to which the Holders of a majority in
number of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall reasonably object with respect to information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holders, which objection shall be provided by
such Holders to the Company within five business days after such Holders receive any such document, and (ii) with respect to any underwritten offering in which such Holders are subject to indemnification obligations under any applicable
underwriting agreement, the Company shall not file any such registration statement or any amendment, prospectus or supplement thereto to which the Holders of a majority in number of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
or the underwriters shall reasonably object, which objection if any shall be provided by such Holders or such underwriters to the Company within five business days after such Holders or underwriters, as the case may be, receive any such document.

(d) Prepare and file with the SEC, and promptly notify the Holders of the filing of, such amendments and supplements to any registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement. 

(e) Advise each Holder promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge thereof of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued. 
 (f) Furnish to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, without charge, such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, any supplement or amendment thereto, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them. 
 (g) At the request of any Holder, furnish to such Holder and to each managing underwriter, without charge, at

 (h) Notify the Holders and the underwriters, if any, promptly of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. 

(i) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business, to file a general consent to service of process or to become subject to tax liability in any such states or jurisdictions. 

(j) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof and the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

(k) Enter into agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration: 

(i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters, if any, in form, scope, and substance as are customarily made by issuers to
underwriters in such underwritten offerings; 
 (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and

matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters; 
 (iii) obtain “comfort letters” and updates thereof from the

with such underwritten offerings; 
 (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, enter into customary indemnification and
contribution provisions and procedures as the underwriters shall reasonably request with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 1.7; and 

(v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, if any, to evidence compliance with
Section 1.4(m) below and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 

(l) Notify the Holders and the underwriters, if any, promptly of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event as a result of which
any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3, any prospectus contained therein, or any document incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 

(m) Prepare and promptly file with the SEC, and promptly notify such Holders of the filing of, any amendment or supplement to such registration
statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event has occurred as the result of which any such
prospectus must be amended in order that it does not make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 

  
 5 








 (n) In case any Holder or any underwriter for any such Holder is required to deliver a prospectus
at a time when the prospectus then in effect may no longer be used under the Act, prepare promptly upon request such amendment or amendments to such registration statement and such prospectus as may be necessary to permit compliance with the
requirements of the Act. 
 (o) If any similar securities of the Company are then listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange, or are
qualified and eligible for trading in any automated quotation system, the Company will cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on NASDAQ or such other securities exchange, and to be qualified and
eligible for trading in such automated quotation system. 
 (p) If reasonably requested by the underwriters or a Holder of Registrable
Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such necessary information as the underwriters or the Holders
of a majority in number of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request to have included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to
the amount of Registrable Securities being sold to underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by any underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable Securities
to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment. 
 (q) Cooperate with the Holders and the underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the underwriters may request at least 2
business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters. 
 (r) Otherwise comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the SEC promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the SEC), no later than 30 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 45 or 90 days if the end of such 12-month period coincides with the end of a fiscal
quarter or fiscal year, respectively, of the Company, or such shorter period as the SEC shall require from time to time with respect to the filing by a reporting company of such documents on Forms 10-Q or 10-K, respectively): (i) commencing at
the end of any month in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an underwritten offering or (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month commencing after the effective date of the
registration statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods. 
 (s) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made
with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD). 

(t) Promptly prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement or the prospectus
(after initial filing of the registration statement), provide copies of such document to counsel to the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and to the underwriters, if any, make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of
such document and make such changes in such document with respect to the Holders or the underwriters, if any, prior to the filing thereof as counsel for such selling Holders or underwriters may reasonably request. 

(u) In the event of any underwritten public offering, if requested to do so by the underwriters managing such offering, enter into a customary
holdback agreement related to such offering. 
 (v) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities sold under the
registration statement not later than the effective date of the registration statement. 

  
 6 








 1.5 Obligations of Holders. Each of the selling Holders shall: 

(a) Furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and such other information as may
reasonably be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. 
 (b) Notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus
relating to Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement is required to be delivered under the Act, of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event with respect to such selling Holder as a result of which information
provided by such Holder expressly for use in the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, causes such prospectus to include an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 
 (c) In the
event of any underwritten public offering, each Holder participating in such underwriting shall enter into and perform its obligations under the underwriting agreement for such offering, and if requested to do so by the underwriters managing such
offering, each Holder shall enter into a customary holdback agreement. 
 1.6 Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay
all expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3, including (without limitation) the fees and disbursements of underwriters (other than underwriting
discounts and commissions with respect to Registrable Securities included in such registration), provided, however, that if the applicable registration does not cover shares issued on behalf of the Company, then such payment shall not
exceed $15,000, and provided, further, that in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement that does not include any shares sold on behalf of the Company, then the Holders shall only be required to
bear such expenses allocable to the Registrable Securities in excess of $15,000 to the extent all other selling stockholders bear such expenses on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares registered; registration, filing, and qualification
fees; blue sky fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel or the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of their eligibility for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders or underwriters of the Registrable Securities being sold may designate); printers’ and accounting fees (including, without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “cold
comfort” letters required by or incident to services provided by such accountants); messenger, telephone, and delivery expenses; costs of listing on NASDAQ or other securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed; costs of furnishing such copies of each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, and amendments thereto as each Holder may reasonably request; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; fees and disbursements of one counsel for the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities, not to exceed $15,000 per registration; fees and expenses associated with any NASD filing required to be made in connection with the registration statement, including in the event the Company selects or
approves the underwriters in connection with any such offering, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” (and its counsel) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the NASD; and fees and expenses of other persons retained by the Company in connection with the registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts,
retained by the Company in connection with the registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3. 

1.7 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement: 

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, the officers, directors, employees,
affiliates, and agents of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified
Holder”), against any losses, claims, damages, and liabilities (joint or several), and expenses (including costs of investigation and legal expenses) incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, or defending against such losses,
claims, damages, and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Indemnified Holder may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal, state, local, foreign, or other law, insofar as such Losses arise out of or
are based upon any of the following statements, omissions, or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall the Company be liable in any such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon (i) a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Indemnified Holder, or (ii) the failure of such Indemnified Holder to deliver a copy of the registration statement or the prospectus,
or any amendments or supplements thereto, after the Company has furnished such person with a sufficient number of copies of the same. 

  
 7 








 (b) Each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law,
the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, a “Company Indemnitee”), against any Losses
to which any such Company Indemnitee may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal, state, local, foreign, or other law, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to
the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 1.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, a Holder’s indemnity obligation, in such person’s capacity as a Holder, shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the offering out of which the indemnity
obligation arises. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of
any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnified party, except that such fees and expenses shall
be paid by the indemnifying party if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not otherwise relieve it of any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party under this Section 1.7. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 1.7(a) or Section 1.7(b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company Indemnities, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, or (ii) if the allocation provide in clause (i) is not then permitted
under applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company Indemnities, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company Indemnities, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company Indemnities or by the Indemnified Holders and such parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

  
 8 








 The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 1.7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 1.7(d), no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount of excess of the amount of which the total net proceeds received by such underwriter from the sale of the Registrable Securities
underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such Violation, and a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder, or its affiliated Holders, has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such Violation. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Holder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to
this Section 1.7 are several in the proportion that the net proceeds of the offering received by such Holder bears to the total net proceeds of the offering received by all the Holders, and not joint. 

(e) The indemnification provided by this Section 1.7 shall be a continuing right to indemnification and shall survive the
registration and sale of any of the Registrable Securities hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

2. MISCELLANEOUS

of this Agreement.

laws, the Company shall not take any action or permit any change to occur with respect to the Registrable Securities that would (i) adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in
a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) adversely affect the marketability or pricing of such Registrable Securities in any such registration.

Agreement may cause irreparable harm and that monetary damages alone may be inadequate. The parties hereto therefore agree that any party shall be entitled to injunctive relief or such other applicable remedy as a court of competent jurisdiction may
provide. Nothing contained herein will be construed to limit any party’s right to any remedies at law, including recovery of damages for breach of any part of this Agreement.

 2.9 Construction. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation. 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. The words “include” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation” whether or not they are followed by such phrases or words of like import. The
words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All references to Section in this
Agreement are to those portions of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 
 2.10 Indulgences, Not Waivers. Neither the failure
nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise of the same or any other right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power, or privilege with
respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 

2.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall
bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Any photographic or xerographic copy of this Agreement, with all signatures reproduced on one or more sets of signature pages, shall be considered for all purposes as of
it were an executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 2.12 Severability. Each and every provision set forth in this Agreement is
independent and severable from the others, and no provision 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. The parties hereto agree that if any
provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the court may appropriately limit or modify such provision, and such provision shall be given effect to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
