  Ladies and Gentlemen:

  We refer to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among QUEST RESOURCE HOLDING CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“Holdings”), QUEST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), each of the Affiliates of the Company that are or may from time to time become parties thereto (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions that are or may from time to time become parties thereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”), and MONROE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ADVISORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).  Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. 

  The Administrative Agent and Lenders, and by their counterpart signatures hereto, the Loan Parties, agree as follows:

  (i)The definition of “Term D Loan Availability Period” in the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such definition in its entirety with the following: 

  “Term D Loan Availability Period” means the period (i) beginning on and including the first Business Day after the Third Amendment Effective Date and (ii) ending on and including the earlier of (A) the date the aggregate Term D Loan Commitments are reduced to zero and (B) March 31, 2023. 

  (ii)Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating clause (m) thereof in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

  (m) unsecured debt of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries owing to banks or other financial institutions under corporate credit cards issued to officers and employees for business related expenses in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000 at any time outstanding; 

   

  

   

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement, it is understood and agreed that this letter agreement shall not become effective, and the Loan Parties shall have no rights under this letter agreement, until the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this letter agreement duly executed and delivered by Holdings, the Company, each of the other Loan Parties and Required Lenders, and (ii) an amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.75% of the undrawn Term D Loan Commitments under the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof. The Amendment Fee will be deemed to be fully earned on the date hereof and will be non-refundable when paid. In its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent may allocate all or any portion of the Amendment Fee to its Affiliates and/or to other Lenders.

  This discretionary action by the Lenders does not constitute, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of, or an agreement to forbear from exercising remedies with respect to, any Event of Default that may exist (including without limitation any Event of Default that you have previously given notification of) or any future failure of any Loan Party to fully comply with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.  In addition, neither this discretionary action by Lenders nor anything in this letter agreement or in any ongoing discussions or negotiations between Administrative Agent and/or any one or more of the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Company and other Loan Parties and Loan Parties’ Affiliates, on the other hand, nor any delay on the part of Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any of their respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, shall directly or indirectly: (i) constitute a consent to any future waivers or extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement or create a course of dealing, (ii) constitute a consent to or waiver of any past, present or future Default or Event of Default or other violation of any provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (iii) amend, modify or operate as a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any right, power, privilege or remedy of Administrative Agent or any one or more of the Lenders thereunder, or (iv) constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any rights or obligations of Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents or any Obligations of the Company or any other Loan Party under the Credit Agreement, other Loan Documents or any other contract or instrument.

  Except as expressly provided herein, the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, and the consent set forth above is limited solely to the matters stated above and shall not be deemed to be a waiver or amendment of, or consent to departure from, any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent and Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law.  This letter agreement is a Loan Document.  This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. This letter agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic transmission (including delivery of an executed counterpart in .pdf format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this letter agreement are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures.  Electronic signature and, when used elsewhere in this letter agreement, “electronic transmission,” means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures.

Michael Lohscheller 
 3112 N 71st Street 
 Scottsdale, AZ 85251 

Re: Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement dated February 2, 2022, by and between Nikola Corporation and Michael Lohscheller (the
“Employment Agreement”) 
 Dear Michael: 

I am pleased to provide you this amendment to the Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) reflecting your promotion to the position of
President of Nikola Corporation (the “Company”), your designation as successor to Mark Russell as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other changes to the terms of your employment as follows (defined terms shall have the
meanings specified in the Employment Agreement unless otherwise defined herein): 
 Position. Effective as of August 9, 2022 (the
“Amendment Date”), you are appointed to the position of President of the Company, reporting to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and you are designated the successor to Mark Russell as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company effective January 1, 2023. You have also been appointed a member of the Board, as approved by the Board on August 9, 2022. 

Annual Salary. Effective as of the Amendment Date, your annual salary will be increased from $1 to $450,000, paid bi-weekly less payroll deductions and all required withholdings. 
 Promotion Stock Award. Subject
to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), you will be granted a promotion stock award under the Company’s equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) consisting of restricted stock units for shares of the
Company’s common stock having a value on the date of grant of $3,370,000, with the number of shares determined based upon the average closing stock price over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of
grant. The promotion grant will be subject to vesting restrictions which will lapse annually over a three-year period starting on the Amendment Date subject to your continued employment. 

Stock Awards. Under the Employment Agreement, you were eligible for annual grants of Time-Vested Awards subject to Board approval
having a value on the date of grant of not less than $3,100,000, and you received a Performance Award subject to stock price milestones and continued employment during a Performance Period ending June 3, 2023. The following amendments supersede
applicable provisions of the Employment Agreement: 
  

	 	(1)	 Commencing with the annual grants in 2023, you will be eligible for annual grants of stock awards subject to
Board approval having an aggregate value on the date of grant of not less than $5,050,000, fifty percent (50%) of which will consist of a Time-Vested Award subject to vesting restrictions which will lapse annually over a three-year period starting
on the grant date subject to your continued employment, and fifty percent (50%) of which will consist of a performance award subject to such employment and performance based milestones as shall be determined by the Board in its discretion.

	 	(2)	 Subject to Board approval, your Performance Award will be amended to (A) cancel the portion of the award
that can be earned upon the achievement of the stock price milestones of $40 and $55 (consisting of an aggregate of 740,303 shares), (B) recognize your promotion to President of the Company with a grant, contingent upon Board approval, of an
additional 267,250 shares subject to the $25 stock price milestone, and (C) extend the Performance Period applicable to the 475,973 shares (representing your existing award plus the additional promotion-based shares) subject to the $25 stock
price milestone by twelve (12) months, from June 3, 2023 to June 3, 2024. Other than as modified pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Performance Award will continue to be governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of the
Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

 Termination of Employment. The cash lump sum payment to which you would
be entitled in the event of an Involuntary Termination of your employment subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement is increased from $1,050,000 to $2,600,000, less applicable withholding. 

Certain Definitions. The following defined terms are modified as set forth below: 

Good Reason. Good Reason shall mean a resignation by you as a result of (i) an adverse change in title, authorities or
responsibilities that diminishes your position; (ii) you not becoming Chief Executive Officer as of January 1, 2023; (iii) a change in your reporting relationship such that you are no longer reporting to the Board; (iv) a material
reduction in your base salary; or (v) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Company and you. A resignation for Good Reason will not be deemed to have occurred
unless you give the Company written notice of the condition within ninety (90) days after the condition comes into existence and the Company fails to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days after receiving your written notice. 

Cause. Cause shall mean any of the following: (i) your repeated failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Board consistent
with your title following written notice of any alleged failure and 15 days to cure such failure; (ii) your material violation of any written Company policy that has been provided to you; (iii) your commission of any act of fraud,
embezzlement or any other material misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in injury to the Company; (iv) your unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other
party to whom you owe an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of your relationship with the Company; or (v) your material breach of any of your material obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company. 

Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Employment Agreement are and shall remain unchanged and
in full force and effect, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

 I am delighted to confirm the terms of this Amendment to you on behalf of the Company.
Please sign and date this Amendment to confirm your agreement to the terms described above and return it to joe.pike@nikolamotor.com. For the purposes of this Agreement, a facsimile or electronic signature shall serve as an original.
