FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LIQUIDITY SERVICES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), the principal sum of SEVENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000) (the “Principal Sum”), or so much thereof as has been or may be advanced or re-advanced to or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement (as hereinafter defined), together with interest thereon at the rate or rates hereinafter provided, in accordance with the following:

 

1.             Interest.

 

Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%).

 

All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

2.             Payments and Maturity.

 

The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate provided above, shall be payable as follows:

 

(a)           Interest only on the unpaid Principal Sum shall be due and payable monthly, commencing March 31, 2012, and on the last day of each month thereafter to maturity; and

 

(b)           Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Revolving Credit Expiration Date.

 

The fact that the balance hereunder may be reduced to zero from time to time pursuant to the Financing Agreement will not affect the continuing validity of this Note or the Financing Agreement, and the balance may be increased to the Principal Sum after any such reduction to zero.

 

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to automatically deduct from Borrower’s account numbered                      the amount of each payment of principal (including without limitation the principal payment due on the final maturity date) and/or interest on the dates such payments become due.  If the funds in the account are insufficient to cover any payment, Lender shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment.  At any time and for any reason, Borrower or Lender may voluntarily terminate automatic payments as provided in this paragraph.

 

 

3.             Default Interest.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter at the Post-Default Rate until such Event of Default is cured.

 

4.             Late Charges.

 

If the Borrower shall fail to make any payment under the terms of this Note within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to two and one half of one percent (2.50%) of such payment.

 

5.             Application and Place of Payments.

 

All payments, made on account of this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any late charge then due hereunder, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum.  All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Rockville, Maryland or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.

16.           Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

The Borrower irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any of the other Financing Documents.  The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

 

17.           Service of Process.

 

The Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower.  The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Borrower.  Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of the
