Quest Resource Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("QRCP"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 2, 2009 (the "Merger Agreement"), among New Quest Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("New Quest"), QRCP, Quest Midstream Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("QMLP"), Quest Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("QELP"), Quest Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("QMLP GP"), Quest Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("QELP GP"), Quest Resource Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of New Quest ("QRAC"), Quest Energy Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of New Quest ("QEAC"), Quest Midstream Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of New Quest ("QMHC"), and Quest Midstream Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of QMHC ("QMAC").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the following shall occur:
• QRAC will merge with and into QRCP (the "QRCP Merger"), with QRCP surviving the QRCP Merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of New Quest and each outstanding share of common stock of QRCP will entitle the holder thereof to the right to receive 0.0575 shares of New Quest common stock;

• QEAC will merge with and into QELP (the "QELP Merger"), with QELP surviving the QELP Merger and (i) each outstanding common unit of QELP (other than any common units owned by QRCP) will entitle the holder thereof to the right to receive 0.2859 shares of New Quest common stock, (ii) all of the outstanding general partner units of QELP held by QELP GP will be converted into one general partner unit and (iii) all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights and subordinated units of QELP will be cancelled for no consideration;

• QMAC will merge with and into QMLP (the "QMLP Merger"), with QMLP surviving the QMLP Merger and (i) each outstanding common unit of QMLP will entitle the holder thereof to the right to receive 0.4033 shares of New Quest common stock, (ii) all of the outstanding general partner units of QMLP will be converted into (x) one general partner unit of QMLP and (y) a number of shares of New Quest common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of New Quest common stock issued to holders of QMLP common units in the QMLP Merger and 0.30612%, and
(iii) all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights and subordinated units of QMLP will be cancelled for no consideration;

• Following the QELP Merger, New Quest and QELP GP will convert QELP into a Delaware limited liability company ("OGLLC"), with OGLLC becoming a wholly owned direct subsidiary of New Quest;

• Following the QMLP Merger, QMHC and QMLP GP will convert QMLP into a Delaware limited liability company ("PLLC"), with PLLC becoming a wholly owned direct subsidiary of QMHC;

• Following the conversion of QMLP into PLLC, QMLP GP will merge with and into QRCP (the "QMLP GP Merger"), and each outstanding QMLP GP unit held by persons other than QRCP will entitle the holder thereof to the right to receive a number of shares of New Quest common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the number of shares of New Quest common


stock to be received by QMLP GP in the QMLP Merger by the total number of QMLP GP units outstanding and held by persons other than QRCP; and

• Following the QMLP GP Merger, QELP GP will merge with and into QRCP (the "QELP GP Merger"), and each outstanding QELP GP unit will be cancelled for no consideration.

At the time of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, New Quest will change its name to a name which has not yet been decided. Any fractional share of New Quest common stock to be issued in the QRCP Merger, the QELP Merger or the QMLP Merger will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of New Quest common stock.
At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the New Quest board of directors will consist of nine members, two of whom will be designated by the current board of directors of QRCP and who are expected to be William H. Damon III and Jon H. Rateau, three of whom will be designated by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of QELP GP and who are expected to be Gary M. Pittman, Mark A. Stansberry and J. Philip McCormick, three of whom will be designated by the board of directors of QMLP GP and who are expected to be Daniel Spears, Duke R. Ligon and Edward Russell and one of whom shall be the principal executive officer of New Quest and who is expected to be David C. Lawler. It is currently expected that Gary M. Pittman will be chairman of the New Quest board of directors.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants by each of the parties. Completion of each of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things:
• Approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of QRCP;

• Approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the QELP Merger by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding QELP common units (other than common units owned by QELP GP and its affiliates), voting as a class, and by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding QELP subordinated units, voting as a class;

• Approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the QMLP Merger by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding QMLP common units (other than common units owned by QMLP GP and its affiliates), voting as a class, and by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding QMLP subordinated units, voting as a class;

• The mutual consent of QRCP, QELP and QMLP through action of their respective boards of directors;

• Any of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement has not been consummated by March 31, 2010;

• The failure to obtain the necessary approval of QRCP stockholders, QELP unitholders or QMLP unitholders;

• A court or any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency of commission having issued a final or nonappealable order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

• One of the parties having breached any representation or warranty or failed to perform any covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement or any representation or warranty shall have become untrue and the result being that a condition to closing has not been satisfied and is not cured within 30 days of receiving notice of such breach, failure or untruth; and

See the disclosures under Item 1.01 regarding the Rights Amendment, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In connection with QRCP's entry into the Merger Agreement, Greg L. McMichael and James B. Kite, Jr. resigned from their respective positions as directors of QRCP, each effective July 2, 2009 immediately after execution of the Merger Agreement by the parties thereto. Mr. McMichael was Chairman of the Compensation Committee and a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Kite was Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a member of the Compensation Committee. Messrs. McMichael and Kite resigned in order to reduce QRCP's expenses during the period between now and the closing of the Mergers and not because of any disagreement with QRCP on any matter relating to QRCP's operations, policies or practices.
As a result of the resignations, QRCP's Board of Directors adopted a resolution which reduced the number of directors constituting QRCP's Board from six directors to four directors, effective immediately after the resignations. The Board also reconstituted its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill those positions vacated by Messrs. McMichael and Kite with other independent directors from the Board.
The Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees now each consist of QRCP's three remaining independent directors, John C. Garrison, William H. Damon III and Jon H. Rateau. The Board designated Mr. Damon to serve as Chairman of each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee. Mr. Garrison continues to serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board also reduced the number of directors constituting its Special Committee, which was formed in connection with the Recombination, from five directors to three directors to account for the resignations. Messrs. Garrison, Damon and Rateau remain the only directors serving on the Special Committee. Finally, the Board eliminated its Strategic Planning Committee.
