BUSINESS

General

We are a leading provider of asset disposition and valuation and appraisal services to a wide range of retail, wholesale and industrial clients, as well as lenders, capital providers, private equity investors and professional service firms. We operate our business in two segments: liquidation and auction solutions and valuation and appraisal services. The divisions in our auction and liquidation segment assist clients in maximizing return and recovery rates through the efficient disposition of assets. Such assets include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real property. Our valuation and appraisal services division provides our clients with independent appraisals in connection with asset based loans, acquisitions, divestitures and other business needs. The financial statements in this Annual Report are presented in a manner consistent with our operating structure. For additional information regarding our operating segments, see Note 20 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our significant industry experience, network of highly skilled employees and scalable network of independent contractors and industry-specific advisors allow us to tailor our auction and liquidation solutions to the specific needs of a multitude of clients, logistical challenges and distressed circumstances. We have established appraisal and valuation methodologies and practices in a broad array of asset categories which have made us a recognized industry leader. Furthermore, our scale and pool of resources allow us to offer our services on a nationwide basis, setting us apart from many of our competitors. As a result of this market expertise and flexibility, our proven track record and our ability to offer cost-attractive services, we believe that we are well positioned to generate revenue growth and increase our market share across all of our service offerings.

Great American, together with our predecessors, has been in business since 1973. For over 35 years, Great American and its predecessors have provided retail, wholesale and industrial auction and liquidation solutions to clients. Past clients include Boeing, Apple Computers, Borders Group, Circuit City, Friedman’s Jewelers, Hechinger, Mervyns, Tower Records, Eaton’s, Hancock Fabrics, Movie Gallery, Linens N Things, Kmart, Sears, Montgomery Ward, Whitehall Jewelers, Gottschalks, Fortunoff, and Ritz Camera. Since 1995, we have participated in liquidations involving over $23 billion in aggregate asset value and auctioned assets with an estimated aggregate value of over $6 billion.

Our valuation and appraisal services division provides valuation and appraisal services to financial institutions, lenders, private equity investors and other providers of capital. These services primarily include the valuation of assets (i) for purposes of determining and monitoring the value of collateral securing financial transactions and loan arrangements and (ii) in connection with potential business combinations. Our valuation and appraisal services divisions operate through limited liability companies that are majority owned by us. Our clients include major financial institutions such as Bank of America, Credit Suisse, GE Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Union Bank of California, and Wells Fargo. Our clients also include private equity firms such as Apollo Management, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Laurus Funds, Sun Capital Partners and UBS Capital.

We were incorporated in Delaware in May 2009 as a subsidiary of AAMAC. On July 31, 2009, we closed the Acquisition, pursuant to which (i) the Great American Members contributed all of their membership interests in GAG, LLC to us in exchange for 10,560,000 shares of our common stock and a subordinated unsecured promissory note in an initial principal amount of $60.0 million issued in favor of the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders and (ii) AAMAC merged with and into Merger Sub, our wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the Acquisition, GAG, LLC and AAMAC became our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization and is more fully described in Note 1 and 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments

In April 2009, we expanded our operations into Europe by opening an office in the United Kingdom. We provide services to help retailers downsize through inventory liquidation and store closures in addition to providing appraisal and valuation services. In 2010, we hired a number of key employees to increase our presence and expand the operations of our retail liquidations solutions business throughout Europe. During 2010, we generated approximately $0.6 million of revenues from services and fees from appraisal and auction and liquidation services engagement in the United Kingdom.

In January 2011, the Keen Consultants’ real estate team joined us and will operate as GA Keen Realty Advisors. This newly formed division will provide real estate analysis, valuation and strategic planning services, brokerage, mergers and acquisition, auction services, lease restructuring services, and real estate capital market services as part of our auction and liquidation segment. GA Keen Realty Advisors will continue to offer its services to traditional clients of Keen Consultants, including property owners, tenants, secured and unsecured creditors, attorneys, and financial advisors.

Generation of Revenue

We provide services to clients on a guarantee, fee or outright purchase basis.

Guarantee. When providing services on a guarantee basis, we guarantee the client a specific recovery often expressed as a percentage of retail inventory value or wholesale inventory cost or, in the case of machinery or equipment, a set dollar amount. This guarantee is often required to be supported by a letter of credit, a cash deposit or a combination thereof. Cash deposits are typically funded in part with available cash together with short term borrowings under our credit facilities. Often when we provide auction or liquidation services on a guarantee basis, we do so through a collaborative arrangement with other service providers. In this situation, each collaborator agrees to provide a certain percentage of the guaranteed amount to the client through a combination of letters of credit, cash and financing. If we are engaged individually, we receive 100% of the net profit, less debt financing fees, sale related expenses (if any) and any share of the profits due to the client as a result of any profit sharing arrangement entered into based on a pre-negotiated formula. If the engagement was conducted through a collaborative arrangement, the profits or losses are divided among us and our partner or partners as set forth in the agreement governing the collaborative arrangement. If the net sales proceeds after expenses are less than the guarantee, we, together with our partners if the engagement was conducted through a collaborative arrangement, are responsible for the shortfall and will recognize a loss on the engagement.

Fee. When we provide services on a fee basis, clients pay a pre-negotiated flat fee for the services provided, a percentage of asset sales generated or a combination of both.

Outright Purchase. When providing services on an outright purchase basis, we purchase the assets from the client and typically sell them at auction, orderly liquidation, through a third-party broker or, less frequently, as augmented inventory in conjunction with another liquidation that we are conducting. In an outright purchase, we take, together with any collaboration partners, title to the assets and absorb the profit or loss associated with the asset disposition.

Services

We provide a wide variety of services to clients seeking auction and liquidation solutions or valuation and appraisal services.

Auction and Liquidation Solutions

Retail

We enable our clients to quickly and efficiently dispose of under-performing assets and generate cash from excess inventory by conducting or assisting in store closings, going out of business sales, bankruptcy sales and fixture sales. With the goal of providing a single-source solution to our retail clients, we also provide merger and acquisition due diligence through our auction and liquidation segment and reverse logistics and appraisal services through our valuation and appraisal services segment. Financial institution and other capital providers rely on us to maximize recovery rates in distressed asset sales and in retail bankruptcy situations. Additionally, healthy, mature retailers utilize our proven inventory management and strategic disposition solutions, relying on our extensive network of retail professionals, to close unproductive stores and dispose of surplus inventory and fixtures as existing stores are updated.

For example, in a potential bankruptcy engagement, the debtor provides potential disposition firms with a snapshot of inventory and other assets available for sale. The disposition firms must analyze the inventory data and generate an estimate of potential recovery based on their valuation expertise and past liquidation experience. Typically, this process takes one to four weeks. The disposition firms then submit bids that guarantee a minimum recovery based on a percentage of retail value or cost. The successful bidder assumes management of the debtor’s stores on a contract basis and conducts the orderly disposition of the inventory and assets in these stores. Profits are generated by efficiently merchandizing inventory, managing the orderly closing of store locations and pricing remaining products to balance margin with speed of sale and liquidation expenses. Unlike merchandisers who employ a “top down” approach by focusing only on driving total sales (because overhead costs are fixed), disposition firms take a “bottom up” approach by focusing on balancing cost savings with maximizing proceeds. A typical retail disposition process spans eight to twelve weeks from the bankruptcy court’s approval of the successful bid to the final store closure.

We often conduct large retail liquidations that entail significant capital requirements through collaborative arrangements with other liquidators. By entering into an agreement with one or more collaborators, we are able to bid on larger engagements that we couldn’t conduct on our own due to the significant capital outlay involved, number of independent contractors required or financial risk associated with the particular engagement. We act as the lead partner in many of the collaborative arrangements that we enter into, meaning that we have primary responsibility for the due diligence, contract negotiation and execution of the engagement.

We provide retail auction and liquidation services on a fee and guarantee basis. In guarantee retail liquidation engagements, we take title to any unsold inventory. In these rare instances, we typically utilize the unsold inventory as augmented inventory in other liquidations we conduct.

Wholesale and Industrial

We design and implement customized disposition programs for our clients seeking to convert excess wholesale and industrial inventory and operational assets into capital. We manage projects of all sizes and scopes across a variety of asset categories. We believe that our databases of information regarding potential buyers that we have collected from past transactions and engagements, our nationwide name recognition and experience with alternative distribution channels allow us to provide superior wholesale and industrial disposition services. We offer clients the following wholesale and industrial disposition strategies:

Orderly Liquidations. Assets in an orderly liquidation are available for sale on a privately negotiated basis over a period of months. Orderly liquidations work well for assets in large and repetitive quantities. This sale method is often employed to dispose of furniture, fixtures and equipment in connection with retail liquidations as well as wholesale inventory or industrial equipment for which a short term public auction sale is not feasible due to limited market demand or specialized application of the equipment.

Live Auctions. The live public auction is the most traditional sales technique for wholesale and industrial asset dispositions and one of our most frequently utilized services. In live auctions, bidders gather at a specified date and time to competitively bid against one another, with each item selling to the highest bidder. We believe that our auctioneers are recognized throughout the industry for their auctioneering skills, project experience, engaging personalities and ability to extract top prices. Our live auctions can cover single sites or multiple locations, and we utilize point-of-sale software to generate customized sales reports and invoices and to track assets.

Webcast Auctions. Increasingly, we have been webcasting our live auctions over the Internet. This auction format allows online bidders to compete in real time against bidders at the live auction. Bidders can log onto the auction from personal computers, view and bid on lots as they come up for sale, hear the auctioneers as the sale is being conducted and, in some cases, view live streaming video of the auctioneer calling the bids on-site. We believe that this auction format maximizes proceeds by providing access to otherwise unavailable potential bidders, including international participants, thereby increasing competition. In some cases, particularly when assets are located in remote areas that are not easily accessible to bidders, we may determine, in consultation with the client, that a webcast only auction is the most appropriate format.

Online Auctions. In the online auction format, the sale of assets takes place exclusively online, without a live auctioneer calling the sale. Similar to the timed auctions popularized by online auction sites such as eBay, assets are posted for sale online and buyers can bid on lots and items for a set period of time, usually one week. The online auction format is optimal for clients that have idle assets in quantities insufficient to justify the cost of a live auction.

Wind Down Services. When businesses or manufacturers discontinue operations in whole or in part, they are often faced with the challenge of converting large quantities of raw materials, work-in-process inventory and equipment into cash. We have the resources and expertise to analyze the cost effectiveness of continuing production to deplete inventory on hand as an alternative to conducting an auction of the inventory. We also provides advisory services relating to the wind down process from beginning to end, including negotiation of early lease terminations, sale of intellectual property and sale of completed inventory through the client’s historical distribution channels.

Reverse Logistics. We assist clients with managing the disposition of customer returns, obsolete inventory, extraneous fixtures and dated equipment. We serve as a broker, providing assistance in reaching target markets and potential buyers or marketing to our extensive database of buyers and end users. Alternatively, we can conduct a liquidation or auction sale to dispose of these assets.

Private Sales. In private sales, we step into the shoes of the seller and handle all negotiations with a single buyer, based upon terms provided by the seller. This type of sale is tailored to a specific target market when specialized assets are involved. This type of sale may be required by certain legal rulings or mediation between multiple parties.

Sealed Bid Sales. We perform sealed bid sales in situations where asset disposition requires anonymity of the buyer or seller or involves other confidentiality concerns. In this process, potential buyers submit bids without knowledge of the amount bid by other participants. At the conclusion of the bidding timeframe, the highest bidder wins the right to purchase the asset.

We provide wholesale and industrial services on a fee, guarantee and an outright purchase basis.

Capital Advisory Services

We provide capital advisory services to clients with a concentration and focus in the retail industry that are in need of junior secured loans for growth capital, working capital, and turnaround financing. We advise borrowers and source loans between $10 million and $100 million to be secured by collateral assets of the borrowers, including inventory, accounts receivable, real estate and intellectual property.

Home Auctions and Loan Sales

We partnered with Kelly Capital to launch Great American Real Estate, LLC through which we commenced auctions for foreclosed residential real estate properties in the fourth quarter of 2009 and we commenced residential and commercial loan sales to third parties on behalf of financial institutions and other private parties in the first quarter of 2010.

We target foreclosed residential real estate properties nationally across a range of sizes, styles and prices and we target financial institutions, finance companies and other lenders nationally to serve as the broker for the sale of residential and commercial real estate loans. During 2010, the market for providers of services for foreclosed residential real estate properties was challenging. The flow of new inventory of residential home foreclosures into the market was impacted by legislation at the state and federal levels. This impacted our ability to establish new relationships as an auction broker with major financial institutions, lenders, portfolio managers and investment firms, which hold title to foreclosed homes. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we limited operations of the joint venture with Kelly Capital to the sale of certain residential and commercial loans that the joint venture purchased through an investment with a third party. We will continue to monitor the market for foreclosed residential properties.

Valuation and Appraisal Services

Our valuation and appraisal teams provide independent appraisals to financial institutions, lenders and other providers of capital and other professional service firms for estimated liquidation values of assets. These teams include experts specializing in particular industry niches and asset classes. We provide valuation and appraisal services across five general categories:

Consumer and Retail Inventory. Representative types of appraisals and valuations include inventory of specialty apparel retailers, department stores, jewelry retailers, sporting goods retailers, mass and discount merchants, home furnishing retailers and footwear retailers.

Wholesale and Industrial Inventory. Representative types of appraisals and valuations include inventory held by manufacturers or distributors of automotive parts, chemicals, food and beverage products, wine and spirits, building and construction products, industrial products, metals, paper and packaging.

Machinery and Equipment. Representative types of asset appraisals and valuations include a broad range of equipment utilized in manufacturing, construction, transportation and healthcare.

Intangible Assets. Representative types of asset appraisals and valuations include intellectual property, goodwill, brands, logos, trademarks and customer lists.

Real Estate. Representative types of asset appraisals and valuations include owned and leased manufacturing and distribution facilities, retail locations and corporate offices. We do not perform appraisals of residential properties.

We provide valuation and appraisal services on a pre-negotiated flat fee basis.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing efforts benefit from dedicated business development officers focused on each of our primary service offerings. We actively promote the cross-selling of our services and market our single-source solution services to existing and potential clients.

Our marketing programs incorporate a range of strategies as a result of our diverse universe of potential referral sources, clients and buyers. Key marketing programs include public relations initiatives and news releases, industry trade journal advertising, local television, newspaper and radio advertising, participation in industry trade shows and conferences, speaking engagements, direct marketing, email blasts and Internet based advertising.

As of December 31, 2010, we employed 15 business development officers located throughout the United States and in London.

Our retail business development efforts target accounting and consulting firms, bankruptcy professionals, attorneys and financial institution restructuring groups focused on the retail industry as sources for referrals.

Our business development officers who are tasked with identifying and obtaining wholesale and industrial auction and liquidation engagements are industry experts and market directly to management at companies in their specific areas of expertise. These individuals also develop and maintain relationships with secondary market participants, such as equipment dealers, who are often sources of referrals for disposition opportunities. The business development officers leverage our years of experience in the auction business, valuation expertise and database of historical auction results to provide potential clients with accurate estimates of asset values.

Our valuation and appraisal business development efforts target lenders, private equity groups, other debt and equity providers, turnaround and crisis management firms, restructuring firms, investment banks and large financial institutions. We focus on developing and managing relationships with clients to produce ongoing valuation and appraisal opportunities, but will also pursue single opportunities as they arise.

Our capital advisory business development efforts target clients primarily in the retail industry that are in need of junior secured loans for growth capital, working capital, and turnaround financing. We advise borrowers and source loans between $10 million and $100 million to be secured by collateral assets of the borrowers, including inventory, accounts receivable, real estate and intellectual property.

Customers

We serve retail, corporate, capital provider and individual customers across our services lines. No revenues from individual liquidation services contracts represented more than 10% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010. Revenues from two liquidation service contracts represented 19.6% and 11.3% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues from one liquidation service contract represented 11.2% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2008. The services provided to these customers were under short-term liquidation contracts that generally do not exceed a period of six months. There were no recurring revenues from year to year in connection with the services we performed under these contracts.

Auction and Liquidation Solutions

Retail

Our retail auction and liquidation solution clients include financially healthy retailers as well as distressed retailers, bankruptcy professionals, financial institution workout groups and a wide range of professional service providers. Some retail segments in which we specialize include apparel, arts and crafts, department stores, discount stores, drug / health and beauty, electronics, footwear, grocery stores, hardware / home improvement, home goods and linens, jewelry, office / party supplies, specialty stores, and sporting goods. Recent clients include Borders Group, Circuit City, Friedman’s Jewelers, Hechinger, Mervyns, Tower Records, Eaton’s, Hancock Fabrics, Movie Gallery, Linens N Things, KB Toys, Kmart, Sears, Montgomery Ward, Whitehall Jewelers, Fortunoff, Gottschalks and Ritz Camera.

Wholesale and Industrial

We provide auction services and customized disposition programs to a wide range of clients. Specifically, we have experience in providing auction and liquidation solutions to the following industries: aircraft / aerospace, casino / hospitality, construction / mining / earthmoving, food and beverage processing, hospital / medical, machine tools / metalworking, material handling, packaging / bottling, plastics and rubber processing, printing / bindery, pulp processing / paper converting, restaurant / bar / bakery, retail / trade fixtures, stadium / arena, textile / apparel, transportation / rolling stock, warehouse / distribution centers, and woodworking / lumber. Representative recent clients include the Stardust Hotel & Casino, Boeing, Midas International, Callaway Golf, Lillian Vernon, Saint Vincent Medical Center of New York and Dreyer’s Ice Cream.

Valuation and Appraisal Services

We are engaged by financial institutions, lenders, private equity investors and other capital providers, as well as professional service providers, to provide valuation and advisory services. We have extensive experience in the appraisal and valuation of retail and consumer inventories, wholesale and industrial inventories, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real estate. We maintain ongoing client relationships with major asset based lenders including Bank of America, CIT Group, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, GE Capital, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Union Bank of California, US Bank, Wells Fargo Foothill and Wells Fargo Retail Finance. In addition, our clients include private equity firms such as Apollo Management, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, H.I.G. Capital, Harvest Partners, Laurus Funds, Sun Capital Partners and UBS Capital.

Competition

We face competition in each of our primary service areas. While some competitors are unique to specific service offerings, some competitors cross multiple service offerings. A number of companies provide services or products to the auction and liquidation and valuation and appraisal markets, and existing and potential clients can, or will be able to, choose from a variety of qualified service providers. Competition in certain of our service offerings is intense. Some of our competitors may even be able to offer discounts or other preferred pricing arrangements. In a cost-sensitive environment, such arrangements may prevent us from acquiring new clients or new engagements with existing clients. Some of our competitors may be able to negotiate secure alliances with clients and affiliates on more favorable terms, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns or to the development of technology systems than us. In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies with respect to the online auction business may increase the competitive pressures on us. We must also compete for the services of skilled professionals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and competitive pressures we face could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We face competition for our retail services from traditional liquidators as well as Internet-based liquidators such as overstock.com and eBay. Our wholesale and industrial services competitors include traditional auctioneers and fixed site auction houses that may specialize in particular industries or geographic regions as well as other large, prestigious or well-recognized auctioneers. We also face competition and pricing pressure from the internal remarketing groups of our clients and potential clients and from companies that may choose to liquidate or auction assets and/or excess inventory without assistance from service providers like us. We face competition for our home auction services from established real estate auctioneers, foreclosure/courthouse auctions, short sales and traditional real estate services. We face competition for our valuation and appraisal services from large accounting, consulting and other professional service firms as well as other valuation, appraisal and advisory firms.

Regulation

We are subject to federal and state consumer protection laws, including regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. In addition, numerous states and municipalities regulate the conduct of auctions and the liability of auctioneers. We and/or our auctioneers are licensed or bonded in the following states where we conduct, or have conducted, retail, wholesale or industrial asset auctions: California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington. In addition, we are licensed or obtain permits in cities and/or counties where we conduct auctions, as required. If we conduct an auction in a state where we are not licensed or where reciprocity laws do not exist, we will work with an auctioneer of record in such state.

Great American Real Estate, LLC has a real estate brokerage license in California and is in the process of obtaining real estate brokerage licenses in the remaining 49 states. In states where Great American Home Auctions intends to hold auction events but is not yet licensed, we intend to work with a broker of record.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 136 full time employees and three part time employees. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We have never experienced a work stoppage or strike and believe that relations with our employees are good.

We rely significantly on the expertise of independent contractors whom we engage in connection with specific transactions. As of December 31, 2010, we maintained a network of approximately 162 independent contractors who it engages from time to time to provide services pursuant to the terms of independent contractor agreements.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Given the nature of our operations and services we provide, a wide range of factors could materially affect our operations and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions also affect our operations. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that are currently considered to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations or stock price. If any of the following risks or uncertainties occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could materially suffer.

Our revenues and results of operations are volatile and difficult to predict.

Our revenues and results of operations fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, due to a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

our ability to attract new clients and obtain additional business from our existing client base;

•

the number, size and timing of our engagements;

•

the extent to which we acquire assets for resale, or guarantee a minimum return thereon, and our ability to resell those assets at favorable prices;

•

variability in the mix of revenues from the auction and liquidation solutions business and the valuation and appraisal services business;

•

the rate of growth of new service areas, including the new real estate services division and international expansion;

•

the types of fees we charge clients, or other financial arrangements we enter into with clients; and

•

changes in general economic and market conditions.

We have limited or no control over some of the factors set forth above and, as a result, may be unable to forecast our revenues accurately. We rely on projections of revenues in developing our operating plans for the future and will base our expectations regarding expenses on these projections and plans. If we inaccurately forecast revenues and/or earnings, or fail to accurately project expenses, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for these inaccuracies and, as a result, may suffer operating losses and such losses could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations. If, for any reason, we fail to meet company, investor or analyst projections of revenue, growth or earnings, the market price of the common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have experienced losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability.

Although we have had profitable quarterly and annual periods, we incurred a loss from operations in the year ended December 31, 2010. Our operations in 2010 were negatively impacted by fewer liquidation engagements during the year as economic conditions for retailers and credit markets improved from the prior years and a decline in revenues from the auction of machinery and equipment. In the past, we also incurred losses from discontinued operations relating to our former retail furniture liquidation solutions business. It is possible that we will continue to experience losses with respect to our current operations as we expand our operations through new business areas. In addition, we expect that our operating expenses will increase to the extent that we grow our business. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to maintain profitability.

Our substantial level of indebtedness may make it difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations and may adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for working capital, capitalize on business opportunities or respond to adverse changes in our industry.

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition on July 31, 2009, we issued subordinated unsecured promissory notes in the principal amount of $55.6 million payable to the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders, which includes our Vice Chairman and CEO who own or control, in the aggregate, 10,560,000 shares of our common stock or 34.6% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, an aggregate principal amount of $53.9 million remains outstanding on the promissory notes. On May 3, 2010, we entered into individual amendments to an aggregate of $52.4 million of the notes, which reduced the interest rate on the amended notes from 12.0% to 3.75% per annum, and further amended the $47.0 million in notes held by the Great American Members to provide for the extension of the maturity date to July 31, 2018 (subject to annual prepayments based upon our cash flow, with certain limitations). On October 27, 2010, we entered into individual waivers related to $51.3 million of the $53.9 million in notes then outstanding, whereby the noteholders agreed to permit us to defer payment of the interest payments that would otherwise be due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011, and April 30, 2011 until July 31, 2011. However, despite these amendments to the promissory notes and the waivers of our obligation to make interest payments described above, we may not have sufficient funds available to make payments of interest or principal on the promissory notes in the future, and we may be unable to obtain further waivers or amendments from the noteholders. If we are required to make such payments, we may be required to use funds that would otherwise be required to operate our business, which could have a material impact on our business and financial results. This indebtedness could have material consequences for our business, operations and liquidity position, including the following:

•

it may be more difficult for us to satisfy our other debt obligations;

•

our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, debt service requirements, general corporate or other purposes may be impaired;

•

a substantial portion of our cash flow will be used to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, which will reduce the funds available for other purposes; and

•

our ability to refinance indebtedness may be limited.

Because of their significant stock ownership, some of our existing stockholders will be able to exert control over us and our significant corporate decisions.

Our executive officers, directors and their affiliates own or control, in the aggregate, approximately 36.3% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2010. In particular, our Vice Chairman and CEO own or control, in the aggregate, 10,560,000 shares of our common stock or 34.6% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2010. These stockholders are able to exercise influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, including transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of the company or other transactions that non-controlling stockholders may not deem to be in their best interests. This concentration of ownership may harm the market price of our common stock by, among other things:

•

delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company;

•

impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination involving our company;

•

causing us to enter into transactions or agreements that are not in the best interests of all stockholders; or

•

discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

We may incur losses as a result of “guarantee” based engagements that we enter into in connection with our auction and liquidation solutions business.

In many instances, in order to secure an engagement, we are required to bid for that engagement by guaranteeing to the client a minimum amount that such client will receive from the sale of inventory or assets. Our bid is based on a variety of factors, including: our experience, expertise, perceived value added by engagement, valuation of the inventory or assets and the prices we believe potential buyers would be willing to pay for such inventory or assets. An inaccurate estimate of any of the above or inaccurate valuation of the assets or inventory could result in us submitting a bid that exceeds the realizable proceeds from any engagement. If the liquidation proceeds, net of direct operating expenses, are less than the amount we guaranteed in our bid, we will incur a loss. Therefore, in the event that the proceeds, net of direct operating expenses, from an engagement are less than the bid, the value of the assets or inventory decline in value prior to the disposition or liquidation, or the assets are overvalued for any reason, we may suffer a loss and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Losses due to any auction or liquidation engagement may cause us to become unable to make payments due to our creditors and may cause us to default on our debt obligations.

We have three engagement structures: (i) a “fee” based structure under which we are compensated for our role in an engagement on a commission basis, (ii) purchase on an outright basis (and take title to) the assets or inventory of the client, and (iii) “guarantee” to the client that a certain amount will be realized by the client upon the sale of the assets or inventory based on contractually defined terms in the auction or liquidation contract. We bear the risk of loss under the purchase and guarantee structures of auction and liquidation contracts. If the amount realized from the sale or disposition of assets, net of direct operating expenses, does not equal or exceed the purchase price (in purchase transaction), we will recognize a loss on the engagement, or should the amount realized, net of direct operating expenses, not equal or exceed the “guarantee,” we are still required to pay the guaranteed amount to the client.

We could incur losses in connection with outright purchase transactions in which we engage as part of our auction and liquidation solutions business.

When we conduct an asset disposition or liquidation on an outright purchase basis, we purchase from the client the assets or inventory to be sold or liquidated and therefore, we hold title to any assets or inventory that we are not able to sell. In other situations, we may acquire assets from our clients if we believe that we can identify a potential buyer and sell the assets at a premium to the price paid. We store these unsold or acquired assets and inventory until they can be sold or, alternatively, transported to the site of a liquidation of comparable assets or inventory that we are conducting. If we are forced to sell these assets for less than we paid, or are required to transport and store assets multiple times, the related expenses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We depend on financial institutions as primary clients for our valuation and appraisal services business. Consequently, the loss of any financial institutions as clients may have an adverse impact on our business.

A majority of the revenue from our valuation and appraisal services business is derived from engagements by financial institutions. As a result, any loss of financial institutions as clients of our valuation and advisory services, whether due to changing preferences in service providers, failures of financial institutions or mergers and consolidations within the finance industry, could significantly reduce the number of existing, repeat and potential clients, thereby adversely affecting our revenues. In addition, any larger financial institutions that result from mergers or consolidations in the financial services industry could have greater leverage in negotiating terms of engagements with us, or could decide to internally perform some or all of the valuation and appraisal services which we currently provide to one of the constituent institutions involved in the merger or consolidation or which we could provide in the future. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our valuation and appraisal services business.

Our business may be impacted by changing economic and market conditions.

Certain aspects of our business are cyclical in nature and changes in the current economic environment may require us to adjust our sales and marketing practices and react to different business opportunities and modes of competition. For example, we are more likely to conduct auctions and liquidations in connection with insolvencies and store closures during periods of economic downturn relative to periods of economic expansion. In addition, during an economic downturn, financial institutions that provide asset-based loans typically reduce the number of loans made, which reduces their need for our valuation and appraisal services. If we are not successful in reacting to changing economic conditions, we may lose business opportunities which could harm our financial condition.

We may face liability or harm to our reputation as a result of a claim that we provided an inaccurate appraisal or valuation and our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the liability.

We could face liability in connection with a claim by a client that we provided an inaccurate appraisal or valuation on which the client relied. Any claim of this type, whether with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, which could divert management’s attention and company resources and harm our reputation. Furthermore, if we are found to be liable, we may be required to pay damages. While our appraisals and valuations are typically provided only for the benefit of our clients, if a third party relies on an appraisal or valuation and suffers harm as a result, we may become subject to a legal claim, even if the claim is without merit. We carry insurance for liability resulting from errors or omissions in connection with our appraisals and valuations; however, the coverage may not be sufficient if we are found to be liable in connection with a claim by a client or third party.

We could be forced to mark down the value of certain assets acquired in connection with outright purchase transactions.

In most instances, inventory is reported on the balance sheet at its historical cost; however, according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, inventory whose historical cost exceeds its market value should be valued conservatively, which dictates a lower value should apply. Accordingly, should the replacement cost (due to technological obsolescence or otherwise), or the net realizable value of any inventory we hold be less than the cost paid to acquire such inventory (purchase price), we will be required to “mark down” the value of such inventory held. If the value of any inventory held on our balance sheet, including, but not limited to, oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business and airplane parts, is required to be written down, such write down could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We operate in highly competitive industries. Some of our competitors may have certain competitive advantages, which may cause us to be unable to effectively compete with or gain market share from our competitors.

We face competition with respect to all of our service areas. The level of competition depends on the particular service area and category of assets being liquidated or appraised. We compete with other companies in bidding for assets and inventory to be liquidated. In addition, we compete with online services for liquidating assets and inventory, the demand for which are rapidly growing. These online competitors include other e-commerce providers, auction websites such as eBay, as well as government agencies and traditional liquidators and auctioneers that have created websites to further enhance their product offerings and more efficiently liquidate assets. We expect the market to become even more competitive as the demand for such services continues to increase and traditional and online liquidators and auctioneers continue to develop online and offline services for disposition, redeployment and remarketing of wholesale surplus and salvage assets. In addition, manufacturers, retailers and government agencies may decide to create their own websites to sell their own surplus assets and inventory and those of third parties.

We also compete with other providers of valuation and advisory services. Competitive pressures within the valuation and appraisal services market, including a decrease in the number of engagements and/or a decrease in the fees which can be charged for these services, could affect revenues from our valuation and appraisal services as well as our ability to engage new or repeat clients. We believe that given the relatively low barriers to entry in the valuation and appraisal services market, this market may become more competitive as the demand for such services increases.

Some of our competitors may be able to devote greater financial resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, secure merchandise from sellers on more favorable terms, adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies and devote more resources to website and systems development than we are able to do. Any inability on our part to effectively compete could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, growth potential and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to compete successfully in our industry.

Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management and the ability to attract and retain other highly qualified management personnel. We face competition for management from other companies and organizations; therefore, we may not be able to retain our existing personnel or fill new positions or vacancies created by expansion or turnover at existing compensation levels. Although we have entered into employment agreements with key members of the senior management team, there can be no assurances such key individuals will remain with us. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key management personnel would disrupt our operations and divert the time and attention of our remaining officers and management personnel which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and potential for growth.

We also face competition for highly skilled employees with experience in our industry, which requires a unique knowledge base. We may be unable to recruit or retain other existing technical, sales and client support personnel that are critical to our ability to execute our business plan.

Expanding our services internationally exposes us to additional operational challenges, and if we fail to meet these challenges, our growth will be limited and our results of operations may be harmed.

We recently expanded our operations into the United Kingdom and plan to enter other European and Asian markets, either through acquisition, partnership, joint venture or by expansion. Our management has limited experience in operating a business at the international level. As a result, we may be unsuccessful in carrying out any of our plans for expansion in a timely fashion, if at all, obtaining the necessary licensing, permits or market saturation, or in successfully navigating other challenges posed by operating an international business. Such international expansion is expected to require a significant amount of start up costs, as well. If we fail to execute this strategy, our growth will be limited and our results of operations may be harmed.

We frequently use borrowings under credit facilities in connection with our guaranty engagements, in which we guarantee a minimum recovery to the client, and outright purchase transactions.

In engagements where we operate on a guaranty or purchase basis, we are typically required to make an upfront payment to the client. If the upfront payment is less than 100% of the guarantee or the purchase price in a “purchase” transaction, we may be required to make successive cash payments until the guarantee is met or we may issue a letter of credit in favor of the client. Depending on the size and structure of the engagement, we may borrow under our credit facilities and may be required to issue a letter of credit in favor of the client for these additional amounts. If we lose any availability under our credit facilities, are unable to borrow under credit facilities and/or issue letters of credit in favor of clients, or borrow under credit facilities and/or issue letters of credit on commercially reasonable terms, we may be unable to pursue large liquidation and disposition engagements, engage in multiple concurrent engagements, pursue new engagements or expand our operations. We are required to obtain approval from the lenders under our existing credit facilities prior to making any borrowings thereunder in connection with a particular engagement. Any inability to borrow under our credit facilities, or enter into one or more other credit facilities on commercially reasonable terms may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and growth.

Defaults under our credit agreements could have an adverse impact on our ability to finance potential engagements.

The terms of our credit agreements contain a number of events of default and, in the past, we have defaulted under the credit agreements for failing to provide timely financial statements and for failing to maintain minimum net worth requirements. Should we default under any of our credit agreements in the future, lenders may take any or all remedial actions set forth in such credit agreement, including, but not limited to, accelerating payment and/or charging us a default rate of interest on all outstanding amounts, refusing to make any further advances or issue letters of credit, or terminating the line of credit. As a result of our reliance on lines of credit and letters of credit, any default under a credit agreement, or remedial actions pursued by lenders following any default under a credit agreement, may require us to immediately repay all outstanding amounts, which may preclude us from pursuing new liquidation and disposition engagements and may increase our cost of capital, each of which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot meet our future capital requirements, we may be unable to develop and enhance our services, take advantage of business opportunities and respond to competitive pressures.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future to grow our business internally, invest in new businesses, expand through acquisitions, enhance our current services or respond to changes in our target markets. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity derivative securities, the issuance of these securities could result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of that debt could impose additional restrictions on our operations or harm our financial condition. Additional financing may be unavailable on acceptable terms.

Our common stock price may fluctuate substantially, and your investment could suffer a decline in value.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and could fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including, among other things:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;

•

announcements of significant contracts and transactions by us or our competitors;

•

sale of common stock or other securities in the future;

•

the trading volume of our common stock;

•

changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors; and

•

general economic conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general and the market for shares traded on the OTCBB in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

There is a limited market for our common shares and the trading price of our common shares is subject to volatility.

Our common shares began trading on the OTCBB in August 2009, following the completion of the Acquisition. The trading market for our common shares is limited and an active trading market may not develop. Selling our common shares may be difficult because the limited trading market for our shares on the OTCBB could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of our shares, as well as lower trading volume.

In addition, our stock may be defined as a “penny stock” under Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. “Penny stocks” are subject to Rule 15g-9, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and affect the ability of holders to sell their shares of our common stock in the secondary market. To the extent our common stock is subject to the penny stock regulations, the market liquidity for the shares will be adversely affected.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue new series of preferred stock that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, which could adversely affect the value of your shares.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that our board of directors will be authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights of redemption, including sinking fund provisions, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designations of any series. Such shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. We may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our company without further action by our stockholders. Such shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of class or series voting rights.

Anti-takeover provisions under our charter documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change of control and could also limit the market price of our stock.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, as amended, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our board of directors that our stockholders might consider favorable. For example, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors, with each class elected at a separate election. The existence of a staggered board could delay or prevent a potential acquirer from obtaining majority control of our board, and thus defer potential acquisitions. We are also governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which may prohibit certain business combinations with stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirors to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors, including delaying or impeding a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest or other change of control transaction involving our company. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could prevent the consummation of a transaction in which our stockholders could receive a substantial premium over the then current market price for their shares.

The Acquisition

On July 31, 2009, GAG, Inc., GAG, LLC and AAMAC completed the Acquisition pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 14, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 29, 2009, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 8, 2009, and Amendment No. 3 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 28, 2009 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among AAMAC, GAG, Inc., then a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAMAC, Merger Sub, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAG, Inc., GAG, LLC, the Great American Members and the representative of the Great American Members. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Great American Members contributed all of their membership interests of GAG, LLC to GAG, Inc. and concurrently therewith, AAMAC merged with and into Merger Sub. As a result of the Acquisition, GAG, LLC and AAMAC became subsidiaries of the Company. Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, the former shareholders of AAMAC had an approximate 63% voting interest in the Company and the Great American Members had an approximate 37% voting interest in the Company.

We received net proceeds of $69.3 million from AAMAC as a result of the Acquisition and issued 19,346,626 shares of our common stock to AAMAC shareholders. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Great American Members received 10,560,000 shares of our common stock and $82.4 million consisting of (i) cash distributions totaling $31.7 million from GAG, LLC and (ii) an aggregate of $50.7 million in unsecured subordinated promissory notes. Unsecured subordinated promissory notes amounting to an aggregate of $9.3 million were issued to the Phantom Equityholders in settlement of accrued compensation payable pursuant to a deferred compensation plan.

On May 4, 2010, we entered into individual amendments to an aggregate of $52.4 million of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $55.6 million (the “Notes”) issued to the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders in the Acquisition. Under the terms of the amendments with the Great American Members, who hold Notes with an aggregate remaining principal balance of $47.0 million, the Great American Members have agreed to (i) reduce the interest rate on their Notes to 3.75% from 12% per year, effective as of February 1, 2010 and (ii) extend the maturity date of the Notes to July 31, 2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon our cash flow subject to certain limitations, including, without limitation, our maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of $20 million. Each prepayment, if any, is due within 30 days of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. No prepayment is due for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Prior to the amendments, these Notes had a five-year maturity, with one-fifth of the principal amount of each Note payable on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the Note through the fifth anniversary of the Note.

Certain of the Phantom Equityholders holding Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $5.4 million also agreed to reduce the interest rate on their Notes to 3.75% from 12% per year, effective as of February 1, 2010. The amended Notes will continue to have a five-year maturity, with one-fifth of the principal amount of each Note payable on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the Note through the fifth anniversary of the Note, or July 31, 2014. The remaining $3.2 million of Notes issued to the Phantom Equityholders not amending their Notes will continue to be subject to the original terms of the Notes. On October 27, 2010, the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders holding amended Notes entered into individual waivers, whereby such holders agreed to permit us to defer payment of the interest payments that would otherwise be due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011, April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2011.

The Purchase Agreement also provided for the issuance of 1,440,000 shares of our common stock to the Phantom Equityholders pursuant to the following vesting schedule: 50% on January 31, 2010, 25% on July 31, 2010 and the remaining 25% on January 31, 2011. In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of 6,000,000 additional shares of common stock to the Contribution Consideration Recipients upon achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA financial targets in fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011, as specified in the Purchase Agreement. We did not achieve the Adjusted EBITDA targets for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. However, in the event we achieve $65.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, we will be obligated to issue to the Contribution Consideration Recipients 4,000,000 shares of common stock.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Contribution Consideration Recipients placed in escrow an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock (the “Escrowed Indemnification Stock”). As of December 31, 2010, 72,000 shares attributable to the Phantom Equityholders had been released from escrow and the remaining 108,000 shares attributable to the Phantom Equityholders and all 1,320,000 shares attributable to the Great American Members remained in escrow. The remaining Escrowed Indemnification Stock is due to be released on the 30th day following our filing of this Annual Report, less that portion of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, any escrow claims.

The Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company. Under this accounting method, GAG, LLC is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes because it obtained effective control of the GAG, Inc. and AAMAC as a result of the Acquisition. This determination was primarily based on the following facts: the Great American Members’ retention of a significant minority voting interest in GAG, Inc.; the Great American Members’ appointment of a majority of the members of GAG, Inc.’s initial board of directors; GAG, LLC’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of GAG, Inc.; and GAG, LLC’s senior management serving as the senior management of GAG, Inc.. Under this method of accounting, the recognition and measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for business combinations do not apply and therefore, GAG, Inc. will not recognize any goodwill or other intangible assets based upon fair value or related amortization expense associated with amortizable intangible assets. Instead, the share exchange transaction utilizes the capital structure of the GAG, Inc. with AAMAC surviving as a subsidiary and the assets and liabilities of GAG, LLC are recorded at historical cost.

Overview

We are a leading provider of asset disposition and valuation and appraisal services to a wide range of retail, wholesale and industrial clients, as well as lenders, capital providers, private equity investors and professional service firms. We operate our business in two segments: auction and liquidation solutions and valuation and appraisal services. Our auction and liquidation segment seeks to assist clients in maximizing return and recovery rates through the efficient disposition of assets. Such assets include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real property. Our valuation and appraisal services segment provides our clients with independent appraisals in connection with asset-based loans, acquisitions, divestitures and other business needs. These services are provided to a wide range of retail, wholesale and industrial companies, as well as lenders, capital providers, private equity investors and professional service firms throughout the United States and Canada.

Our significant industry experience and network of highly skilled employees and independent contractors allow us to tailor our auction and liquidation solutions to the specific needs of a multitude of clients, logistical challenges and distressed circumstances. We have established appraisal and valuation methodologies and practices in a broad array of asset categories which have made us a recognized industry leader. Furthermore, our scale and pool of resources allow us to offer our services on a nationwide basis.

Together with our predecessors, we have been in business since 1973. For over 35 years, we and our predecessors have provided retail, wholesale and industrial auction and liquidation solutions to clients. Past clients include Boeing, Apple Computers, Borders Group, Circuit City, Friedman’s Jewelers, Hechinger, Mervyns, Tower Records, Eaton’s, Hancock Fabrics, Movie Gallery, Linens N Things, Kmart, Sears, Montgomery Ward, Whitehall Jewelers, Gottschalks, Fortunoff, and Ritz Camera. Since 1995, we have participated in liquidations involving over $23 billion in aggregate asset value and auctioned assets with an estimated aggregate value of over $6 billion.

Historically, revenues from our auction and liquidation segment have comprised a significant amount of our total revenues and operating profits. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, revenues from our auction and liquidation segment were 49.9%, 73.9% and 68.4% of total revenues. The decline in revenues resulted in a significant decrease in operating income from the auction and liquidation during the year ended December 31, 2010. Revenues in the auction and liquidation segment during the year ended December 31, 2010 were negatively impacted by fewer liquidation engagements during the year as economic conditions for retailers and credit markets improved from the prior years.

In April 2009, we expanded our operations into Europe by opening an office in the United Kingdom. We expect to provide services to help retailers downsize through inventory liquidation and store closures in addition to providing appraisal and valuation services. In 2010, we hired a number of key employees to increase our presence and expand the operations of our retail liquidations solutions business throughout Europe. During 2010, we generated approximately $0.6 million of revenues from services and fees from appraisal and auction and liquidation services engagements.

In September 2008, we partnered with Kelly Capital to launch Great American Real Estate, LLC through which we and Kelly Capital conduct public auctions of foreclosed residential real estate and market residential and commercial loan sales to third parties on behalf of financial institutions and other private parties. We commenced auctions for foreclosed residential real estate properties in the fourth quarter of 2009 and we commenced residential and commercial loan sales to third parties on behalf of financial institutions and other private parties in the first quarter of 2010. During 2010, the market for providers of services for foreclosed residential real estate properties was challenging and we incurred losses from our equity investment in Great American Real Estate, LLC of $1.6 million. The flow of new inventory of residential home foreclosures into the market was impacted by legislation at the state and federal levels. This impacted our ability to establish new relationships as the auction broker with major financial institutions, lenders, portfolio managers and investment firms, which hold title to foreclosed homes. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we limited operations of the joint venture with Kelly Capital to the sale of certain residential and commercial loan sales that the joint venture purchased through an investment with a third party.

In October 2009, we formed GA Capital, LLC (“GA Capital”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. GA Capital focuses on services to retailers that are in need of junior secured loans for growth capital, working capital, and turnaround financing as part of our auction and liquidation segment. GA Capital advises borrowers and sources loans between $10 million and $100 million secured by collateral assets of the borrowers, including inventory, accounts receivable, real estate and intellectual property.

Revenues. Total revenues decreased $41.3 million to $42.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $83.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a $40.6 million decrease in revenues in the auction and liquidation segment and a $0.7 million decrease in revenues in the valuation and appraisal services segment in 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Revenues in the auction and liquidation segment during the year ended December 31, 2010 were negatively impacted by fewer liquidation engagements during the year as economic conditions for retailers and credit markets improved from the prior year and a decline in revenues from the auction of machinery and equipment. Revenues in the auction and liquidation segment were $21.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. In comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2009 revenues in the auction and liquidation segment were $61.6 million which included revenues earned of $16.4 million and $9.4 million from two large liquidation service engagements where we provided a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at bankruptcy liquidation sales. The decrease in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010 in the auction and liquidation segment were also negatively impacted by a $7.5 million decrease in the sale of goods where we purchase assets and sell at auction. The decrease in revenues of $0.7 million in the valuation and appraisal services segment was primarily due to a decrease in revenues related to asset valuations that we perform for asset-based loans on machinery and equipment.

Revenues in the auction and liquidation segment decreased $40.6 million to $21.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $61.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues from services and fees decreased $33.1 million to $15.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $49.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues from services and fees of $33.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to fewer liquidation engagements during the year as economic conditions for retailers and credit markets improved from the prior year and a decline in revenues from the auction of machinery and equipment. In comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2009 we earned revenues of $16.4 million and $9.4 million from two large liquidation service engagements where we provided a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at bankruptcy liquidation sales. Revenues from gross sales of goods where we held title to the goods decreased $7.5 million to $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $12.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in gross revenues from the sales of goods where we held title to the goods was primarily due to fewer auction engagements where we sell assets during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009.

Gross margin in the auction and liquidation segment was 62.4% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 84.0% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in the gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in revenues earned in 2010 from services and fees and gross margin from liquidation engagements where we provided a minimum recovery value for goods sold at bankruptcy liquidation sales. The gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2010 was also negatively impacted by the decrease in gross margin from the sale of goods where we held title which decreased to (30.4%) during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a gross margin of (0.5%) during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Gross margin from the sales of goods where we held title was (30.4%) during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to (0.5%) during the year ended December 31, 2009. The gross margin in 2010 was negatively impacted by a $1.4 million inventory valuation charge in the second quarter of 2010 and the gross margin in 2009 was negatively impacted by a $1.2 million inventory valuation charge in the fourth quarter of 2009. These charges were to write down the carrying value of certain goods held for sale or auction to lower of cost or market. Excluding this inventory valuation charge, the gross margin from the sale of goods where we hold title was (3.2%) and 9.1% during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Valuation and Appraisal Segment:


	Year Ended December 31, 2010					Year Ended December 31, 2009
	Amount		%			Amount		%
Revenues - Services and fees	$	21,124		100.0	%	$	21,805		100.0	%
Direct cost of services		9,440		44.7	%		9,652		44.3	%

Gross margin	$	11,684		55.3	%	$	12,153		55.7	%

Revenues in the valuation and appraisal segment decreased $0.7 million, or 3.1%, to $21.1 million during year ended December 31, 2010 from $21.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a decrease in revenues related to asset valuations conducted for lenders on asset-based loans for machinery and equipment.

Gross margins in the valuation and appraisal segment decreased to 55.3% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 55.7% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009. Gross margins in 2010 were negatively impacted by a reduction the average pricing we earned from asset valuations for lenders on asset-based loans for machinery and equipment. The decrease in average pricing on asset valuations for lenders on asset-based loans for machinery and equipment was primarily due to increased competition in the marketplace.

Operating Expenses

Direct Costs of Services. Total direct costs of services decreased $2.1 million, or 11.9%, to $15.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $17.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. Direct costs of services in the auction and liquidation segment decreased $1.8 million to $6.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $7.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to lower volume and decreased margins we realized on fee and commission type of engagements where we contractually bill fees, commissions and reimbursable expenses in 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Direct costs of services in the valuation and appraisal services segment decreased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, to $9.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $9.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in direct costs of services in the valuation and appraisal services segment was favorably impacted from a reduction in employee headcount during the second quarter of 2010 which resulted in a decrease in salaries and wages in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased $7.5 million to $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $12.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. As a percentage of gross sales of goods where we hold title to the goods, costs of goods sold was 130.4% during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 100.5% during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in costs of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to fewer auction engagements in 2010 where we sell assets as compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was offset by a non-cash charge of $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2010 to increase the reserve for slow moving goods held for sale or auction.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were comprised of the following:

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million, or 12.1%, to $31.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in corporate and other offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the auction and liquidation segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the auction and liquidation segment increased $1.4 million, or 21.1%, to $8.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll and operating expenses from the expansion of our European operations during the year ended December 31, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the valuation and appraisal services segment decreased $0.2 million, or 2.6%, to $7.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees paid to outside consultants in 2010 as compare to 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses for corporate and other decreased $5.5 million, or 26.3%, to $15.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $4.0 million in compensation expense related to the deferred compensation plan for the Phantom Equityholders, a decrease of $1.8 million of bonus expense , and a decrease of $1.4 million for legal, accounting and professional fees related to the Acquisition on July 31, 2009, offset by an increase of $0.5 million in share based compensation expense in 2010 in connection with the consideration paid to the Phantom Equityholders in connection with the Acquisition on July 31, 2009 and an increase in payroll and related expenses of $0.9 million due to the hiring of additional finance and accounting personnel in 2010 as compared to 2009. In October 2010, in connection with voluntary salary reductions the base salaries of the executive officer’s and members of senior management of the Company were reduced by a range from 10% to 40%.

Other Income (Expense) and Interest. Other expenses and interest decreased $7.3 million to $4.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from $12.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease of $7.3 million is comprised of a decrease in interest expense of $7.6 million, an increase in interest income of $0.5 million and an increase in the loss from equity investment in Great American Real Estate, LLC of $0.8 million. The decrease in interest expense of $7.6 million is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense $5.0 million related to the Company’s credit facilities on guarantee arrangements for the auction and liquidation segment as there were fewer auction and liquidation services engagements in 2010 as compared to 2009 and $1.6 million related to the note payable issued in May 2008 to finance the purchase of certain machinery and equipment. The increase in interest income of $0.5 million is primarily due to interest income earned on notes receivable issued to related parties as more fully described in note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. The increase in loss from equity investment in Great American Real Estate, LLC of $0.8 million was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s share of losses from its 50% interest in Great American Real Estate, LLC which began operating in the second quarter of 2009.

Benefit for Income Taxes. Benefit for income taxes was $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $11.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The benefit for income taxes in 2009 was comprised of an income tax benefit of $7.0 million as a result of a change in our tax status to a C corporation in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and $4.6 million income tax benefit from operations during the period from the date of consummation of the Acquisition through December 31, 2009.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations. Loss from continuing operations was $11.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to income from continuing operations of $17.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the a decrease in income in the auction and liquidation segment and a decrease in the benefit for income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compare to 2009.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $11.0 million as compared to net income of $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net income during the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and profits earned in the auction and liquidation segment as previously discussed.

Revenues. Total revenues increased $30.3 million, or 56.9%, to $83.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $53.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $25.3 million increase in revenues in the auction and liquidation segment and a $5.0 million increase in revenues in the valuation and appraisal services segment in 2009 as compared to 2008. The increase in revenues in the auction and liquidation segment was due to liquidation services provided to two large consumer product retailers conducting bankruptcy liquidation sales and an increase in revenues from the sale of goods where we held title during the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in revenues of $5.0 million in the valuation and appraisal services segment was primarily due to an increase in the number of collateral monitoring-related asset valuations conducted in connection with existing asset-based loans from financial institutions, as well as an increase in revenues in 2009 from intellectual property and real estate appraisal services which were new in the second half of 2008.

Revenues in the auction and liquidation segment increased $25.3 million, or 69.5%, to $61.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $36.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. Revenues from services and fees increased $17.3 million, or 54.7%, to $49.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $31.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenues from services and fees was primarily due to revenues of $16.4 million and $9.4 million earned on two large liquidation service engagements where we provided a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at bankruptcy liquidation sales during the first quarter of 2009. Revenues from gross sales of goods where we held title to the goods increased $7.9 million to $12.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in gross revenues from the sales of goods where we held title to the goods in 2009 was primarily due the sale of goods with higher asset values in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Gross margin in the auction and liquidation segment was 66.7% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 51.6% during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in the gross margin in 2009 was primarily due to the increase in revenues from services for liquidation engagements for large retailers which were conducted through collaborative arrangements with other liquidation agents. In these types of engagements, we participate with other liquidation agents and provide a minimum recovery value for goods sold at auction or liquidation with the related revenues recognized on a net basis. Revenues recognized under these types of liquidation engagements totaled $36.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $17.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no corresponding direct costs of services for these collaborative arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. These changes in the mix of revenue and related costs in 2009 resulted in the increase in gross margin for liquidation engagements to 84.0% from 59.4% in 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, revenues from auction and liquidation engagements were primarily comprised of engagements where we earned fees and commissions acting as an agent selling goods on behalf of the customer. Under these types of engagements, we earn revenues from services, fees and reimbursable costs and direct costs of services include direct costs of the liquidation engagement and costs incurred on behalf of the customer that are reimbursed in accordance with the terms of the liquidation contract. This mix of revenue and corresponding costs results in a lower gross margin than the gross margin from the liquidation engagements under collaborative arrangements where we provide a minimum recovery value of goods sold at auction or liquidation.

Gross margin from the sales of goods where we held title was (0.5%) during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to (1.3%) during the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin in 2009 was negatively impacted due to a $1.2 million inventory valuation charge in the fourth quarter of 2009 to write down the carrying value of certain goods held for sale or auction to lower of cost or market. Excluding this inventory valuation charge, the gross margin from the sale of goods where we hold title was 9.1% during the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase in margin after giving effect to the inventory valuation charge was favorably impacted in 2009 due to liquidation sales of equipment with higher profit margins in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Valuation and Appraisal Segment:


	Year Ended December 31, 2009					Year Ended December 31, 2008
	Amount		%			Amount		%
Revenues - Services and fees	$	21,805		100.0	%	$	16,820		100.0	%
Direct cost of services		9,652		44.3	%		7,723		45.9	%

Gross margin	$	12,153		55.7	%	$	9,097		54.1	%

Revenues in the valuation and appraisal segment increased $5.0 million, or 27.8%, to $21.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $16.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. Of the $5.0 million increase in revenues, $4.5 million was primarily due to an increase in the number of collateral monitoring-related asset valuations conducted in connection with existing asset-based loans from financial institutions and other appraisal services. The remaining $0.5 million increase in revenues was due to revenues generated during the year ended December 31, 2009 by a new operating unit which was formed in the second half of 2008 to expand our valuation service offerings to include intellectual property and real estate appraisal services.

Gross margins in the valuation and appraisal segment increased to 55.7% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 54.1% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross margins in 2009 increased primarily as a result of productivity gains from the higher revenue base in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Operating Expenses

Direct Costs of Services. Total direct costs of services decreased $3.1 million, or 15.1%, to $17.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $20.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. Direct costs of services in the auction and liquidation segment decreased $5.0 million, or 39.1%, to $7.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $12.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in reimbursable expenses that are included as a component of direct cost of services from fee and commission auction and liquidation engagements. The number of these fee and commission auction and liquidation engagements decreased during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, resulting in a decrease in revenues from reimbursable expenses and a corresponding decrease in direct costs of revenues from reimbursable expense. Direct costs of services in the valuation and appraisal services segment increased $1.9 million, or 25.0%, to $9.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $7.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of collateral monitoring-related asset valuations conducted in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $8.0 million to $12.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin from the sales of goods where we held title was (0.5%) during the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to (1.3%) during the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin in 2009 was negatively impacted due to a $1.2 million inventory valuation charge in the fourth quarter of 2009 to write down the carrying value of certain goods held for sale or auction to lower of cost or market. Excluding this inventory valuation charge, the gross margin from the sale of goods where we hold title was 9.1% during the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase in margin after giving effect to the inventory valuation charge was favorably impacted in 2009 due to liquidation sales of certain equipment with higher profit margins in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of the following:

Total selling, general & administrative expenses	$	35,743		100.0	%	$	21,696		100.0	%	$	14,047		64.7	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the auction and liquidation segment increased $2.4 million, or 57.4%, to $6.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll related and occupancy expenses in 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the valuation and appraisal services segment increased $0.6 million, or 8.2%, to $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses due to the increase in volume of engagements in 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses for corporate and other increased $11.1 million to $21.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million relating to the deferred compensation plan that was in effect prior to the Acquisition, $3.1 million of share based compensation related to the restricted stock grant to the Phantom Equityholders, $2.0 million of accounting, legal and consulting expenses as a result of the Acquisition, and the remaining, $2.4 million was primarily related to an increase in bonuses and an increase in personnel costs and office expenses from opening of new offices in 2009.

Other Income (Expense) and Interest. Other expenses increased $8.3 million to $12.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $3.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. Of the $8.3 million increase, $7.2 million related to an increase in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2009 which was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $3.8 million related to our credit facilities on guarantee arrangements for the auction and liquidation segment, $2.8 million on the notes payable issued to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and the remaining $0.6 million on the note payable issued in May 2008 to finance the purchase of certain machinery and equipment. The remaining $1.0 million increase in other expenses was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $0.1 million and our share of costs totaling $0.9 million from our 50% interest in Great American Home Auctions, which began operating in the second quarter of 2009.

Benefit for Income Taxes. Benefit for income taxes was $11.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. There was no income tax provision or benefit during the year ended December 31, 2008 as we were organized as a limited liability company, whereby we elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. This benefit for income taxes in 2009 was comprised of an income tax benefit of $7.0 million as a result of a change in our tax status to a C corporation in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and $4.6 million income tax benefit from operations during the period from the date of consummation of the Acquisition through December 31, 2009.

Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations increased to $17.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the an increase in income in the auction and liquidation segment and the recognition of a benefit for income taxes in the amount of $11.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. Excluding the benefit for income taxes, income from continuing operations increased to $5.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in income was primarily due to an increase in revenues in the auction and liquidation segment as discussed above, offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher interest expense.

Loss From Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The loss from discontinued operations is the result of the closure of the Company’s retail furniture liquidation segment in July 2008.

Net Income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $17.0 million as compared to $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net income during the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in revenues in the auction and liquidation segment and the $11.7 million income tax benefit recognized during such period offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher interest expenses.

Discontinued Operations

We discontinued the operations of our retail furniture liquidation business segment on June 30, 2008. The business primarily involved the purchase of supplemental consignment inventory, or augmented inventory, to support a store closing sale. As the store closing sales were conducted and the economy began to deteriorate, revenues from most of these engagements fell short of our sales estimates. As a consequence, we extended the sales to sell through remaining inventory which resulted in expense overages. Once the engagements were completed, we were left with significant levels of inventory. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded losses from discontinued operations before taxes of $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Over the past years, our growth has been funded through a combination of operating profits generated from operations and more recently from proceeds received from AAMAC in connection with the Acquisition, which was completed on July 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the profits generated by our auction and liquidation segment have been negatively impacted by fewer retail liquidation engagements conducted by us. As economic conditions and credit markets have improved for retailers, the number of large retail liquidation engagements in the auction and liquidation industry has decreased from historical levels. These factors, in addition to the interest expense on the $53.9 million of subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, have resulted in the net use of $5.4 million of cash from operations during the year ended December 31, 2010.

On May 4, 2010, we entered into individual amendments (each, an Amendment and collectively, the “Amendments”) to an aggregate of $52.4 million of the $55.6 million principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders in connection with the Acquisition and the interest rate was reduced from 12.0% per annum to 3.75% per annum. In addition, the maturity date for $47.0 million of the $55.6 million principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members was extended to July 31, 2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon our cash flow subject to certain limitations as provided in the amendment to the notes payable, including, without limitation, our maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of $20.0 million. The terms of these amendments significantly reduce the annual cash required to service this debt. On October 27, 2010, we entered into individual waivers for an aggregate of $51.3 million of the $53.9 million principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, whereby the noteholders agreed to permit us to defer the payment of interest payments due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011, and April 30, 2011 until July 31, 2011.

In addition to amending the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, we implemented cost reduction measures in September 2010 that resulted in a reduction in employee headcount by approximately 7%, a voluntary reduction in base salaries of senior executives that ranged from 10% to 40%, and other cost savings measures which we expect to result in an aggregate total of approximately $2.2 million in cost savings on an annual basis. We also merged the operations of the machinery and equipment appraisal business with the wholesale and industrial auction business.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $20.1 million in unrestricted cash and no borrowings outstanding under our asset based credit facility. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, funds available under our asset based credit facility and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We continue to monitor our financial performance to ensure sufficient liquidity to fund operations.

Acquisition Overview

We received net proceeds of $69.3 million from AAMAC as a result of the Acquisition and issued 19,346,626 shares of common stock of the Company to AAMAC shareholders. The Great American Members received 10,560,000 shares of our common stock and $82.4 million in accordance with the Purchase Agreement consisting of (i) cash distributions totaling $31.7 million from GAG, LLC and (ii) $50.7 million representing their share of the $60.0 million unsecured subordinated promissory note. The remaining portion of the unsecured subordinated promissory note, which amounted to $9.3 million, was issued to the Phantom Equityholders in settlement of accrued compensation payable pursuant to the deferred compensation plan as more fully described in Note 14(b) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Acquisition, on October 2, 2009, we redeemed all of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for $0.50 in accordance with the terms of the warrants. The aggregate warrant redemption consideration paid to the warrant holders was approximately $23.0 million, which was paid with the $23.0 million that had been deposited in a separate account at the closing of the Acquisition for that purpose.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity to finance our business are cash and cash equivalents as a result of the Acquisition, cash provided by operating activities, and funds available under revolving credit facilities and special purpose financing arrangements.

Cash used in operating activities was $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $18.9 million in 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue and income from operations in the auction and liquidation segment. Revenues and profits in the auction and liquidation segment during the year ended December 30, 2010 were negatively impacted due to fewer liquidation engagements during the year as economic conditions for retailers and credit markets improved from the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities was $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1.2 million in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2010, cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of cash for loans to related parties in the form of notes receivable in the amount of $5.9 million, $0.9 million of equity investments in Great American Real Estate, LLC, and the use of $0.6 million of cash for capital expenditures, offset by proceeds from the redemption of officers life insurance of $0.3 million and the result of a decrease in restricted cash of $0.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, cash provided by investing activities was primarily comprised of the proceeds as a result of a decrease in restricted cash of $3.2 million offset by a use of cash of $0.8 million for capital expenditures.

Cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $5.2 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.9 million in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2010, cash used by financing activities included $0.8 million for the payment of financing costs, $1.7 million of principal payments on our notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, $1.1 million for the payment of employment taxes on the vesting of restricted stock that was awarded to the Phantom Equityholders in connection with the Acquisition, and $1.5 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests. During the year ended December 31, 2009, cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of $69.3 million of proceeds we received in connection with the Acquisition on July 31, 2009, offset be the use of cash for the repayment of $10.2 million of notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations, $33.9 million of distributions to stockholders, $23.0 million for the warrant redemption, and $1.3 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Cash provided by operating activities was $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $4.2 million in 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2009 was due to the increase in net income primarily from the revenue earned on two large liquidation engagements where we provided a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at bankruptcy liquidation sales during the first quarter of 2009.

Cash provided by investing activities was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash of $3.2 million offset by equity investments in Great American Real Estate, LLC of $1.2 million and capital expenditures of $0.8 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash provided by financing increased in 2009 primarily from proceeds of $70.4 million received in connection with the Acquisition, offset by cash used in financing activities from distributions of $33.9 million to the Great American Members, $5.6 million payment of notes payable of which $4.4 million was in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, repayments of long-term debt of $4.3 million, distributions to noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries, and $23.0 million of cash used for the Warrant Redemption.

Credit Agreements

From time to time, we utilize our asset based credit facility to fund costs and expenses incurred in connection with liquidation engagements. We also utilize this credit facility in order to issue letters of credit in connection with liquidation engagements conducted on a guaranteed basis. We are permitted to borrow up to $100.0 million under the credit facility; however, borrowings under the credit facility are only made at the discretion of the lender. The base rate for the credit facility is the greater of (i) the Wells Fargo prime rate, (ii) LIBOR plus 1.00% and (iii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. The credit facility is secured by the proceeds received for services rendered in connection with the liquidation service contracts pursuant to which any outstanding loan or letters of credit are issued and the assets that are sold at liquidation related to such contract, if any. We typically seek borrowings on an engagement-by- engagement basis. The credit facility expires in July 2013; however, borrowings under the credit facility are generally required to be repaid within 180 days. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility for borrowing or outstanding letters of credit.

On May 29, 2008, Great American Group Energy Equipment, LLC (“GAGEE”) entered into a credit agreement to finance the purchase of oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business to be sold at auction or liquidation. The principal amount of the loan was $12.0 million and borrowings bear interest at a rate of 20% per annum. The loan is collateralized by the oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business which were purchased with the proceeds from the loan. GAGEE is required to make principal and interest payments from proceeds from the sale of the oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business. GAGEE is a special purpose entity created to purchase the oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business, whose assets consist only of the oil rigs and other equipment related to the oil exploration business in question and whose liabilities are limited to the lenders’ note and certain operational expenses related to this transaction. GAGEE entered into a forbearance agreement with the lenders and administrative agent effective September 27, 2009 and an amendment to the credit agreement effective December 18, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the interest rate was reduced from 20% to 0% and the lender agreed to reimburse GAGEE for certain expenses from proceeds of the sale of assets that collateralize the amended credit agreement. The forbearance agreement expired on November 18, 2010. The Company and GAGEE are currently in negotiations with the lenders to extend the terms of the forbearance agreement. GAGEE has no assets other than those collateralizing the loan. GAG, LLC guaranteed GAGEE’s liabilities to the lenders up to a maximum of $1.2 million. GAG, LLC made a payment of $1.2 million on October 9, 2009 in full satisfaction of its guaranty under the credit agreement, which reduced the principal amount of borrowings and interest due under the credit agreement. The credit agreement does not provide for other recourse against us, GAG, LLC or any of our other subsidiaries. In the event the Company, GAG, LLC, GAGEE and the lenders do not reach an agreement to extend the term of the forbearance agreement, the lenders may foreclosure on the assets that collateralize the loan. We believe the Company and GAG, LLC have satisfied all of their obligations under the credit agreement and if the lender were to foreclose on the machinery and equipment the impact on the consolidated financial statements and results of operations would not be material as total assets would decrease by $11.7 million due to the lender taking title to goods held for sale or auction which is comprised of machinery and equipment with a carrying value of $9.7 million and leased equipment with a carrying value of $2.0 million, and total liabilities would be reduced by $12.0 million from the note payable that collateralized the machinery and equipment. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate principal balance of the note payable was $12.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively. Interest expense in connection with this note payable was $0.3 million, $2.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The interest rate on the note was 20.0% from the inception of the credit agreement through December 18, 2009 and 22.0%, which represents the note rate of 20.0% plus the default interest rate of 2.0%, from the expiration of the forbearance agreement on November 18, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

One of our majority owned subsidiaries utilizes a factoring agreement to provide working capital to finance the operations within the valuation and appraisal segment. The factoring agreement is scheduled to expire on May 22, 2011. The factoring agreement provides for the factor, at its discretion, to purchase on a nonrecourse basis, all of our subsidiary’s customer receivables. The factor is responsible for servicing the receivables and pays 90% of the net receivable invoice amount upon request by our subsidiary and retains the remaining 10% in a reserve. Accounts receivable sold to the factor were $13.8 million and $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Factoring commissions and other fees based on advances decreased to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in factoring commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in interest and other charges by the factor in 2010.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

On January 4, 2010, we loaned $2.7 million to GAHA Fund I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great American Real Estate, LLC (“GARE”) which is a joint venture 50% owned by us and 50% owned by Kelley Capital, LLC. GAHA Fund I was created to purchase land and a commercial building that is planned to be sold by GARE. The note receivable is collateralized by the land and commercial building which was purchased with the proceeds from the loan. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The principal balance on the note and all unpaid interest was received in January 2011. Interest income was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2010, the note receivable in the amount of $2.7 million is included in note receivable – related party in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and accrued interest receivable in the amount of $0.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

On July 8, 2010, we loaned $3.2 million to GARE for the purposes of investing in GAHA Fund II, LLC, a newly formed joint venture which is 50% owned by GARE. GAHA Fund II, LLC is a special purpose entity created to purchase non-performing distressed real estate loans at a discount to par from a financial institution and market the loans and real estate to third parties. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and all unpaid principal and interest is due on July 8, 2011. Interest income was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2010, the note receivable in the amount of $3.2 million and accrued interest receivable in the amount of $0.2 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Other than with respect to our arrangements with GAHA Fund I and GAHA Fund II, as further described in Note 15 “Related Party Transactions” to our consolidated financial statements, we have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements and do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, we issued a note payable to each of the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders in an aggregate principal amount of $55.6 million. On May 4, 2010, we entered into individual amendments to an aggregate of $52.4 million of the Notes issued to the Great American Members and the Phantom Equityholders. Under the terms of the amendments with the Great American Members, who hold Notes with an aggregate remaining principal balance of $47.0 million, the Great American Members have agreed to (i) reduce the interest rate on their Notes to 3.75% from 12% per year, effective as of February 1, 2010 and (ii) extend the maturity date of the Notes to July 31, 2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon our cash flow subject to certain limitations, including, without limitation, our maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of $20 million. Each prepayment, if any, is due within 30 days of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. No prepayment is due for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Prior to the amendments, these Notes had a five-year maturity, with one-fifth of the principal amount of each Note payable on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the Note through the fifth anniversary of the Note.

We anticipate that cash generated from the reverse merger with AAMAC, cash generated from operations and existing borrowing arrangements under our credit facility to fund costs and expenses incurred in connection with liquidation engagements should be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of our businesses in generating cash from operations, continued compliance with financial covenants contained in our credit facility, the timing of principal payments on our long-term debt and the capital markets in general, among other factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and the notes thereto contain information that is pertinent to management’s discussion and analysis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, management’s estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different and/or future circumstances. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

•

changes in the estimate, or the use of different estimating methods that could have been selected, could have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as reserves for slow moving goods held for sale or auction, the fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests and accounting for income tax valuation allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Management believes that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Revenues are recognized in accordance with the accounting guidance when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenues in the Company’s Valuation and Appraisal segment are primarily comprised of fees for valuation and appraisal services. Revenues are recognized upon the delivery of the completed services to the related customers and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Revenues in the Valuation and Appraisal segment also include contractual reimbursable costs

Revenues in the Company’s Auction and Liquidation segment are comprised of (i) commissions and fees earned on the sale of goods at auctions and liquidations; (ii) revenues from auction and liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation; (iii) revenue from the sale of goods that are purchased by the Company for sale at auction or liquidation sales events; (iv) fees earned from the origination of loans; and (v) revenues from contractual reimbursable expenses incurred in connection with auction and liquidation contracts.

Revenues earned from auction and liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation are recognized based on proceeds received. The Company records proceeds received from these types of engagements first as a reduction of contractual reimbursable expenses, second as a recovery of its guarantee and thereafter as revenue, subject to such revenue meeting the criteria of having been fixed or determinable. Contractual reimbursable expenses and amounts advanced to customers for minimum guarantees are initially recorded as advances against customer contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If, during the auction or liquidation sale, the Company determines that the proceeds from the sale will not meet the minimum guaranteed recovery value as defined in the auction or liquidation services contract, the Company accrues a loss on the contract in the period that the loss becomes known.

The Company also evaluates revenue from auction and liquidation engagements in accordance with the accounting guidance to determine whether to report auction and liquidation segment revenue on a gross or net basis. The Company has determined that it acts as an agent in a substantial majority of its auction and liquidation services engagements and therefore reports the auction and liquidation revenues on a net basis.

Revenues from the sale of goods are recorded gross and are recognized in the period in which the sale of goods held for sale or auction are completed, title to the property passes to the purchaser and the Company has fulfilled its obligations with respect to the transaction. These revenues are primarily the result of the Company acquiring title to merchandise with the intent of selling the items at auction or for augmenting liquidation sales.

In the normal course of business, the Company will enter into collaborative arrangements with other merchandise liquidators to collaboratively execute auction and liquidation contracts. The Company’s collaborative arrangements specifically include contractual agreements with other liquidation agents in which the Company and such other liquidation agents actively participate in the performance of the liquidation services and are exposed to the risks and rewards of the liquidation engagement. The Company’s participation in collaborative arrangements including its rights and obligations under each collaborative arrangement can vary. Revenues from collaborative arrangements are recorded net based on the proceeds received from the liquidation engagement. Amounts paid to participants in the collaborative arrangements are reported separately as direct costs of revenues. Revenue from collaborative arrangements in which the Company is not the majority participant is recorded net based on the Company’s share of proceeds received.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in our accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes a specific customer identification methodology. Management also considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The bad debt expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Goods Held for Sale or Auction. Goods held for sale or auction are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the specific-identification method. We write down slow-moving and obsolete goods held for sale or auction based on assessments of market conditions, demand for the goods to be sold at auction, comparable industry sales of similar types of goods, and in part on information obtained from appraisal reports prepared by outside specialists. If these factors were to become less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of goods held for sale or auction could be required.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill includes (i) the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination described in Note 8 and (ii) an increase for the subsequent acquisition of noncontrolling interests during the year ended December 31, 2007 (also see Note 8). The Codification requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates two reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in Note 19. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

We reviewed our reporting units for possible goodwill impairment by comparing the fair values of each of the reporting units to the carrying value of their respective net assets. If the fair values exceed the carrying values of the net assets, no goodwill impairment is deemed to exist. If the fair values of the reporting units do not exceed the carrying values of the net assets, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its implied value if it is determined to be impaired. Based on a review of the fair value of the reporting units, no impairment is deemed to exist as of December 31, 2010.

In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2010.

Discontinued Operations. In accordance with the accounting guidance discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The Company classifies a component of the business as held for sale when certain criteria are met. At such time, the respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets and depreciation is no longer recognized. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the estimated costs to sell the assets.

Fair Value Measurements. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Codification defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Codification also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The new accounting guidance delays the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In accordance with the new accounting guidance, the Company has not applied the new provisions to eligible assets and liabilities that have been recognized or disclosed at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2009, specifically to fair value measurements of the Company’s reporting units and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value to determine the amount of goodwill impairment.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance and all other guidance related to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance to be used in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. The new guidance was effective immediately and clarifies the application of fair value measurements in cases where the market for a financial instrument is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining fair value in those circumstances. We have considered the new guidance in our determination of estimated fair values.

We record mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that were issued after November 5, 2003 at fair value with fair value determined in accordance with the Codification. Our mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of fair value hierarchy. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable and actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

We determined the fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests described above based on the issuance of similar interest for cash, references to industry comparables, and relied, in part, on information obtained from appraisal reports prepared by outside specialists.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the notes payable (including credit lines used to finance liquidation engagements), long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate fair value because the contractual interest rates or effective yields of such instruments are consistent with current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk. The adoption of the new accounting guidance on fair value did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company’s share based payment awards principally consist of grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Share based payment awards also include grants of membership interests in the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries. The grants of membership interests consist of percentage interests in the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries as determined at the date of grant. In accordance with the accounting guidance share based payment awards are classified as either equity or a liability. For equity-classified awards, the Company measures compensation cost for the grant of membership interests at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. The fair value of the liability-classified award will be subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Change in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

Income Taxes. As a result of the Acquisition, beginning on July 31, 2009, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C corporation. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company’s operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 31, 2009.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

The Company adopted the provisions of the new accounting guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

In January 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets) , or ASU 2009-16, which eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” (QSPE), revises conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale (e.g., loan participations), clarifies the derecognition criteria, eliminates special guidance for guaranteed mortgage securitizations, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of this ASU effective January 1, 2010, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Great American’s primary exposure to market risk consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. Great American has not used derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We utilize borrowings under our credit facilities to fund costs and expenses incurred in connection with liquidation contracts. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate of interest.

The primary objective of the our investment activities is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income it receives from its investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, our investments allow it to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments through a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds and certificates of deposit. Our cash and cash equivalents through December 31, 2010 included amounts in bank checking, certificates of deposit and liquid money market accounts. The Company believes it has minimal interest rate risk. A one percentage point decrease in the average interest rate on our portfolio would have reduced its interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 by an immaterial amount.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2010 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. These limitations include the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures and reasonable resource constraints. In addition, because we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, our system of controls may not achieve its desired purpose under all possible future conditions. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance, but not absolute assurance, of achieving their objectives.

Changes in Our Controls

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter to which this report relates that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of

Great American Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great American Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Great American Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations

Great American Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 7, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp. (“AAMAC”). The Company was formed as a “shell company” for the purpose of acquiring Great American Group, LLC (“GAG, LLC”), a California limited liability company, all as more fully described in Note 2.

On July 31, 2009, the members of GAG, LLC (the “Great American Members”) contributed all of their membership interests of GAG, LLC to the Company (the “Contribution”) in exchange for 10,560,000 shares of common stock of the Company and a subordinated unsecured promissory note in an initial principal amount of $60,000 issued in favor of the Great American Members and the phantom equityholders of GAG, LLC (the “Phantom Equityholders”, and together with the Great American Members, the “Contribution Consideration Recipients”) (see Note 11). Concurrently with the Contribution, AAMAC merged with and into AAMAC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the Contribution, the “Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition, GAG, LLC and AAMAC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 14, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of May 29, 2009, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of July 8, 2009, and Amendment No. 3 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 28, 2009 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, AAMAC, Merger Sub, the Great American Members and the representative of Great American Members. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company.

The Company operates in two operating segments: auction and liquidation services (“Auction and Liquidation”) and valuation and appraisal services (“Valuation and Appraisal”). These services are provided to a wide range of retail, wholesale and industrial companies, as well as lenders, capital providers, private equity investors and professional service firms throughout the United States, Europe and Canada. In the Auction and Liquidation segment, the Company provides auction and liquidation services to help clients dispose of assets and capital advisory services to retailers. Such assets include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property and real property. In the Valuation and Appraisal segment, the Company provides valuation and appraisal services to clients with independent appraisals in connection with asset based loans, acquisitions, divestitures and other business needs. From time to time, the Company will conduct auction and liquidation services with third parties through collaborative arrangements.

NOTE 2—COMPLETED MERGER

On July 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition was consummated and the Great American Members contributed all of their membership interests of GAG, LLC to the Company in exchange for 10,560,000 shares of common stock of the Company and a subordinated unsecured promissory note an initial principal amount of $60,000 (which was reduced by a principal payment to the Contribution Consideration Recipients of $4,383 at the closing of the Acquisition).

Concurrently with the Contribution, AAMAC merged with and into Merger Sub and GAG, LLC and AAMAC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In connection with the Acquisition, (i) each of the 10,923,313 shares of AAMAC common stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition were exchanged for 2.0 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) each of the 46,025,000 outstanding AAMAC warrants, which were exercisable for one share of AAMAC common stock, were exchanged for a warrant exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. The units of AAMAC were separated into the component common stock and warrant, each of which participated in the Acquisition as described in the preceding sentence. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of July 28, 2009 (the “Letter Agreement”) by and among the Company, AAMAC, GAG, LLC, and certain founding shareholders of AAMAC (the “AAMAC Founders”), the AAMAC Founders agreed to cancel 7,850,000 shares of their 10,350,000 shares of AAMAC common stock immediately prior to the Acquisition and to cancel 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that they received in exchange for their AAMAC common stock in the Acquisition. In accordance with the Letter Agreement, of the 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock the AAMAC Founders received in exchange for their AAMAC shares, 1,500,000 of such shares are being held in escrow for a period of one year from the closing of the Acquisition and the remaining 1,000,000 of such shares will continue to be held in escrow until GAG, LLC’s achievement of any one of the Adjusted EBITDA targets discussed below. The 1,000,000 shares, which are subject to voting restrictions while in escrow, will be forfeited and cancelled if GAG, LLC fails to achieve any of the Adjusted EBITDA targets discussed below.

The number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition on July 31, 2009 is summarized as follows:


	Number of Shares
AAMAC Public Shares outstanding prior to the Acquisition		41,400,000

(3)

Prior to AAMAC’s stockholder meeting on July 31, 2009, AAMAC entered into stock purchase agreements with several third parties pursuant to which AAMAC agreed to purchase such parties’ AAMAC shares in connection with the Acquisition and such parties agreed to give AAMAC’s management proxies to vote their AAMAC shares in favor of the Acquisition.

The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of 1,440,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Phantom Equityholders pursuant to the following vesting schedule: 50% on January 31, 2010, 25% on July 31, 2010 and the remaining 25% on January 31, 2011, as more fully described in Note 17(b).

The Purchase Agreement also provides for the issuance of 6,000,000 additional shares of common stock (the “Contingent Stock Consideration”) to the Contribution Consideration Recipients as follows: (a) in the event GAG, LLC achieves any one of (i) $45,000 in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the 12 months ending December 31, 2009, (ii) $47,500 in Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ending March 31, 2010, or (iii) $50,000 in Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ending June 30, 2010, the Company will be obligated to issue to the Contribution Consideration Recipients 2,000,000 shares of the Contingent Stock Consideration; (b) in the event GAG, LLC achieves $55,000 in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, then the Company will be obligated to issue to the Contribution Consideration Recipients 2,000,000 shares of the Contingent Stock Consideration; and (c) in the event GAG, LLC achieves $65,000 in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, then the Company will be obligated to issue to the Contribution Consideration Recipients 2,000,000 shares of the Contingent Stock Consideration; provided; however, that if the Company does not achieve the December 31, 2010 Adjusted EBITDA target but does achieve the December 31, 2011 Adjusted EBITDA target, then the Company will be obligated to issue to the Contribution Consideration Recipients 4,000,000 shares of the Contingent Stock Consideration. The Company’s issuance of Contingent Stock Consideration will be in accordance with the Purchase Agreement described below. The Company did not achieve the Adjusted EBITDA target for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Contingent Stock Consideration will be issued to each of the Contribution Consideration Recipients to the extent earned and with respect to the applicable target period, in three equal installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition and issuable on each anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition thereafter in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

The Great American Members received $82,436 in accordance with the Purchase Agreement consisting of (i) cash distributions totaling $31,736 from GAG, LLC and (ii) $50,700 representing their share of the $60,000 unsecured subordinated promissory note. The $31,736 was comprised of (i) a distribution of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by GAG, LLC (after giving effect to the repayment of certain debt obligations of GAG, LLC in an outstanding principal amount of $2,985) of $18,815 promptly following the closing date of the Acquisition and (ii) a cash distribution of $12,921 on September 18, 2009 representing the amount by which the final adjusted working capital of GAG, LLC (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) was greater than $6,000 at the closing of the Acquisition. The remaining portion of the unsecured subordinated promissory note, which amounted to $9,300, was issued to the Phantom Equityholders in settlement of accrued compensation payable pursuant to the deferred compensation plan as more fully described in Note 18(b).

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company entered into that certain Escrow Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2009 (the “Escrow Agreement”), with GAG, LLC, the Great American Members and an escrow agent to provide a fund for, among other things, breaches of representations and warranties of GAG, LLC to AAMAC, to offset against any working capital shortfall in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, and to offset against any inventory amount shortfall (collectively the “Escrow Claims”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Contribution Consideration Recipients placed in escrow an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Escrowed Indemnification Stock”). As of December 31, 2010, 72,000 shares attributable to the Phantom Equityholders had been released from escrow and the remaining 108,000 shares attributable to the Phantom Equityholders and all 1,320,000 shares attributable to the Great American Members remained in escrow. The remaining Escrowed Indemnification Stock shall be released on the day that is the 30th day after the date the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the SEC (the “Final Escrow Release Date”), less that portion of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, Escrow Claims. In the event there are any Escrow Claims properly and timely delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that remain unresolved at the time of the Final Escrow Release Date, a portion of the Escrowed Indemnification Stock will remain in escrow until such claims are resolved, at which time the remaining Escrowed Indemnification Stock shall be promptly returned to the Contribution Consideration Recipients.

The $407,786 held in AAMAC’s trust account immediately prior to the Acquisition was disbursed as follows: (i) $116,578 to stockholders who voted against the transaction and elected to convert their shares to a pro rata portion of the AAMAC trust account (approximately $9.85 per share); (ii) $208,834 to the third parties who entered into stock purchase agreements (approximately $9.85 per share) with AAMAC pursuant to which AAMAC agreed to purchase such parties’ AAMAC shares in connection with the Acquisition and such third parties agreed to give AAMAC’s management proxies to vote such shares in favor of the Acquisition; and (iii) $82,374 to the Company. The Company also received an additional $451 of operating funds held by AAMAC resulting in total proceeds of $82,825. The $82,825 has been reflected in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity (deficit) net of offering costs of (i) closing expenses and certain investment banking fees of $10,476 associated with the transaction; (ii) other offering expenses of $3,091 incurred by GAG, LLC plus an income tax receivable of $1,100. At closing, $4,383 was distributed to the Contribution Consideration Recipients to pay down the principal amount of the notes payable (thereby reducing the aggregate principal amount of the notes from $60,000 to $55,617), and $23,013 was deposited in a separate account with the transfer agent pending conduct of the Warrant Redemption. The remaining net proceeds received by the Company are being used for general working capital purposes.

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, AAMAC entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement with the warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”) to amend the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing the AAMAC warrants exercisable for shares of AAMAC common stock in order to (i) require the redemption of all of the outstanding warrants, including those held by the former AAMAC sponsors, at a price of $0.50 per warrant at any time on or prior to October 29, 2009 (the “Warrant Redemption”), (ii) delay the commencement of the exercisability of the warrants from immediately following the Acquisition to October 30, 2009 and (iii) preclude any adjustment of the warrants as a result of the Acquisition ((i), (ii), and (iii) collectively, the “Warrant Amendment”). The Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Amendment govern the 46,025,000 warrants of the Company issued in exchange for AAMAC warrants in connection with the Acquisition. $23,013 of the funds received from AAMAC in connection with the Acquisition was deposited in a separate account with the transfer agent for purposes of the Warrant Redemption.

On October 2, 2009, the Company launched an offer to exchange all of its outstanding warrants for new warrants with a different exercise price and different expiration date (the “Exchange Offer”). The Exchange Offer, which was made pursuant to a prospectus dated October 2, 2009, expired on October 30, 2009. The Company’s obligation to consummate the Exchange Offer was conditioned upon a minimum of 23,012,500 outstanding warrants, or 50% of the outstanding warrants, being validly tendered for exchange and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer (the “Minimum Tender Condition”). The Minimum Tender Condition was not satisfied and therefore, no Warrants were accepted in the Exchange Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock for $0.50 each as of October 29, 2009. The aggregate warrant redemption consideration paid to the warrant holders was $23,013. The warrants ceased being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on November 2, 2009.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Treatment of the Merger

Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition on July 31, 2009, the former shareholders of AAMAC had an approximate 63% voting interest in the Company and the Great American Members had an approximate 37% voting interest in the Company. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company. Under this accounting method, GAG, LLC is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes because it obtained effective control of AAMAC as a result of the Acquisition. This determination was primarily based on the following facts: the Great American Members’ retention of a significant minority voting interest in the Company; the Great American Members’ appointment of a majority of the members of the Company’s initial board of directors; GAG, LLC’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company; and GAG, LLC’s senior management serving as the senior management of the Company. Under this method of accounting, the recognition and measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for business combinations do not apply and therefore, the Company will not recognize any goodwill or other intangible assets based upon fair value or related amortization expense associated with amortizable intangible assets. Instead, the share exchange transaction utilizes the capital structure of the Company with AAMAC surviving as a subsidiary and the assets and liabilities of GAG, LLC are recorded at historical cost.

In the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, the recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the Great American Members is reflected retroactive to January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock presented as outstanding as of January 1, 2008 total 10,560,000 consisting of the number of shares of common stock issued to the Great American Members as consideration for their Contribution. This number of shares was used to calculate the Company’s earnings (loss) per share for all periods prior to the Acquisition. In addition, member’s equity of GAG, LLC was classified as retained earnings at January 1, 2008 and upon completion of the reverse merger on July 31, 2009, $31,929 was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to retained earnings.

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Liquidity Matters

Over the past years, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of profits generated from operations and more recently from proceeds received from AAMAC in connection with the Acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the operating profits generated by the Company’s Auction and Liquidation segment have been negatively impacted due to fewer retail liquidation engagements conducted by the Company. As economic conditions and credit markets have improved for retailers, the number of large retail liquidation engagements in the auction and liquidation industry has decreased from historical levels. These factors, in addition to the interest expense on the $53,893 of subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, have resulted in the net use of $6,083 of cash from operations during the year ended December 31, 2010.

On May 4, 2010, the Company entered into individual amendments to an aggregate of $52,419 of the $55,617 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders and the interest rate was reduced from 12.0% per annum to 3.75% per annum. In addition, the maturity date for $46,996 of the $55,617 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members was extended to July 31, 2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon the Company’s cash flow subject to certain limitations as provided in the amendment to the notes payable, including, without limitation, the Company’s maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of $20,000. The terms of these amendments significantly reduce the annual cash required to service this debt. On October 27, 2010, the Company entered into individual waivers related to an aggregate of $51,334 of the $53,893 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, whereby the noteholders agreed to permit the Company to defer payment of interest payments due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011, and April 30, 2011 until July 31, 2011.

F-12

GREAT AMERICAN GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

In addition to amending the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, the Company implemented cost reduction measures in September 2010 which resulted in a reduction in employee headcount, reduction in base salaries to senior executives, and other cost savings measures. The Company also merged the operations of the machinery and equipment appraisal business with the wholesale and industrial auction business.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $20,080 in cash and no borrowings outstanding under the asset based credit facility. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, funds available under its asset based credit facility and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company continues to monitor its financial performance to ensure sufficient liquidity to fund operations.

(b) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries: AAMAC, GAG LLC, Great American Group Advisory & Valuation Services, LLC (“GAAV”), Great American Group Machinery & Equipment, LLC (“GAME”), Great American Group Real Estate, LLC, Great American Venture, LLC, Great American Group Energy Equipment, LLC (GAGEE”), Great American Group Intellectual Property Advisors, LLC, GA Capital, LLC, GA Asset Advisors Limited, Great American Group WF, LLC, and Great American Group CS, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Effective January 1, 2010, new consolidation guidance became effective relating to accounting for Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”). These changes require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to eliminate the solely quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a VIE when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. As more fully described in Note 19, the Company determined that its’ equity investment and subordinated financing arrangements with Great American Real Estate, LLC (“GARE”), a joint venture 50% owned by the Company and Kelley Capital, LLC, changes the status of GARE to a VIE that does not require consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The adoption of these changes had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as reserves for slow moving goods held for sale or auction, the fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests and accounting for income tax valuation allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.

(d) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with the accounting guidance when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenues in the Valuation and Appraisal segment are primarily comprised of fees for valuation and appraisal services. Revenues are recognized upon the delivery of the completed services to the related customers and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Revenues in the Valuation and Appraisal segment also include contractual reimbursable costs which totaled $2,325, $2,396 and $1,961 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

F-13

GREAT AMERICAN GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

Revenues in the Auction and Liquidation segment are comprised of (i) commissions and fees earned on the sale of goods at auctions and liquidations; (ii) revenues from auction and liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or liquidation; (iii) revenue from the sale of goods that are purchased by the Company for sale at auction or liquidation sales events; (iv) fees earned from the origination of loans; and (v) revenues from contractual reimbursable expenses incurred in connection with auction and liquidation contracts.

Commission and fees earned on the sale of goods at auction and liquidation sales are recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price has been determined, title has passed to the buyer and the buyer has assumed the risks of ownership, and collection is reasonably assured. The commission and fees earned for these services are included in revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Under these types of arrangements, revenues also include contractual reimbursable costs which totaled $4,806, $5,806 and $8,652 for years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company also evaluates revenue from auction and liquidation contracts in accordance with the accounting guidance to determine whether to report auction and liquidation segment revenue on a gross or net basis. The Company has determined that it acts as an agent in a substantial majority of its auction and liquidation services contracts and therefore reports the auction and liquidation revenues on a net basis.

Fees earned from the origination of loans where the Company provides capital advisory services are recognized in the period earned, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

(e) Direct Cost of Services

Direct cost of services relate to service and fee revenues. The costs consist of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, travel expenses, the cost of consultants assigned to revenue-generating activities and direct expenses billable to clients in the Valuation and Appraisal segment. Direct costs of services include participation in profits under collaborative arrangements in which the Company is a majority participant. Direct costs of services also include the cost of consultants and other direct expenses related to auction and liquidation contracts pursuant to commission and fee based arrangements in the Auction and Liquidation segment. Direct cost of services does not include an allocation of the Company’s overhead costs.

(f) Concentration of Risk

Revenues from two liquidation service contracts represented 19.6% and 11.3% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues from one liquidation service contract represented 11.2% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2008. Revenues in the Valuation and Appraisal segment and the Auction and Liquidation segment are primarily generated in the United States.

The Company’s activities in the Auction and Liquidation segment are executed frequently with, and on behalf of, distressed customers and secured creditors. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in economic, industry, or geographical factors. The Company seeks to control its credit risk and potential risk concentration through risk management activities that limit the Company’s exposure to losses on any one specific liquidation services contract or concentration within any one specific industry. To mitigate the exposure to losses on any one specific liquidation services contract, the Company sometimes conducts operations with third parties through collaborative arrangements.

The Company maintains cash in various federally insured banking institutions. The account balances at each institution periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company also has substantial cash balances from proceeds received from auctions and liquidation engagements that are distributed to parties in accordance with the collaborative arrangements.

(g) Advertising Expense

The Company expenses advertising costs, which consist primarily of costs for printed materials, as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $498, $828 and $793 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Advertising expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

(h) Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s share based payment awards principally consist of grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Share based payment awards also includes grants of membership interests in the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries. The grants of membership interests consist of percentage interests in the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries as determined at the date of grant. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, share based payment awards are classified as either equity or liabilities. For equity-classified awards, the Company measures compensation cost for the grant of membership interests at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. The fair value of the liability-classified award will be subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Change in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.

(i) Income Taxes

As a result of the Acquisition, beginning on July 31, 2009, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company’s operations were organized as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 31, 2009.

This change in tax status to a taxable entity resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the date of the Acquisition. This resulted in a net deferred tax benefit of $6,987 being recognized and included in the tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2009. The tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2009 also includes a tax benefit of $4,677 which was determined using an effective tax rate of 39.4% for the period from August 1, 2009 (the date on which the tax status changed to a C Corporation) to December 31, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma computation of income tax (benefit) included in the consolidated statements of operations, represents the tax effects that would have been reported had the Company been subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation for all periods presented. Pro forma taxes are based upon the statutory income tax rates and adjustments to income for estimated permanent differences occurring during each period. Actual rates and expenses could have differed had the Company actually been subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes for all periods presented. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma amounts are for informational purposes only and are intended to be indicative of the results of operations had the Company been subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation for all periods presented.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(k) Restricted Cash

The Company maintains deposits in accounts under the control of a financial institution as collateral for letters of credit relating to liquidation engagements in connection with the $100,000 credit facility described in Note 10(a). As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the cash collateral for letters of credit and success fees was $0 and $459, respectively.

(l) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s auction and liquidation and valuation and appraisal customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management utilizes a specific customer identification methodology. Management also considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s bad debt expense totaled $60, $18, and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Bad debt expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

(m) Advances Against Customer Contracts

Advances against customer contracts represent advances of contractually reimbursable expenses incurred prior to, and during the term of the liquidation services contract. These advances are charged to expense in the period that revenue is recognized under the contract.

(n) Goods Held for Sale or Auction

Goods held for sale or auction are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the specific-identification method, or market.

(o) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.

(p) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill includes (i) the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination described in Note 8 and (ii) an increase for the subsequent acquisition of noncontrolling interests during the year ended December 31, 2007 (also see Note 8). The Codification requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates two reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in Note 20. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

The Company reviewed its reporting units for possible goodwill impairment by comparing the fair values of each of the reporting units to the carrying value of their respective net assets. If the fair values exceed the carrying values of the net assets, no goodwill impairment is deemed to exist. If the fair values of the reporting units do not exceed the carrying values of the net assets, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its implied value if it is determined to be impaired. Based on a review of the fair value of the reporting units, no impairment is deemed to exist as of December 31, 2010.

GREAT AMERICAN GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its amortizable intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2010.

(q) Discontinued Operations

In accordance with the accounting guidance discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The Company classifies a component of the business as held for sale when certain criteria are met. At such time, the respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets and depreciation is no longer recognized. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the estimated costs to sell the assets and included in assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(r) Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Codification defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Codification also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The new accounting guidance delayed the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In accordance with the new accounting guidance, the Company has not applied the new provisions to eligible assets and liabilities that have been recognized or disclosed at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2008, specifically to fair value measurements of the Company’s reporting units and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value to determine the amount of goodwill impairment.

The Company records mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that were issued after November 5, 2003 at fair value (see Note 16(b)) with fair value determined in accordance with the Codification. The following table below presents information about the Company’s mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 which are categorized using the three levels of fair value hierarchy. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable and actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Total liabilities measured at fair value	$	2,361	$	—	$	—	$	2,361

The Company determined the fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests described above based on the issuance of similar interest for cash, references to industry comparables, and relied, in part, on information obtained from appraisal reports prepared by outside specialists.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the notes payable (including credit lines used to finance liquidation engagements), long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate fair value because the contractual interest rates or effective yields of such instruments are consistent with current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk. The adoption of the new accounting guidance for fair value measurements did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(s) Fiduciary Funds

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets do not include fiduciary funds, which are held by the Company on behalf of clients in connection with the administration of loans in the performance of capital advisory services and which amounted to $6,945 at December 31, 2010. These funds were disbursed in accordance with the respective loan administration agreements in January 2011.

GAAV is a party to a factoring agreement, dated as of May 22, 2007 (the “Factoring Agreement”) with FCC LLC, d/b/a First Capital Western Region, LLC (the “Factor”). The Factoring Agreement, which provides for an initial term of two years and annual one-year automatic extensions unless GAAV provides written notice of termination to the Factor, will expire on May 22, 2011. The Factor, at its discretion, purchases on a nonrecourse basis, all of the GAAV’s customer receivables. The Factor is responsible for servicing the receivables. The Factor pays 90% of the net receivable invoice amount upon request by GAAV and retains the remaining 10% in a reserve. The Factor, at its discretion, may offset the reserve for amounts not collected or outstanding at the end of the term of the Factoring Agreement. GAAV may request releases from the reserve for any excess over a minimum balance set by the Factor. The Factor charges a factoring commission equal to 0.25% of the gross invoice amount of each account purchased, or five dollars per invoice, whichever is greater, with a minimum commission of $24 per year, prorated for the first year. The Factor also charges interest at prime plus 1% with a floor of 8% on the net uncollected outstanding balance of the receivables purchased. Effective December 1, 2009, the interest charge by the Factor was reduced to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.5% on the net uncollected outstanding balance of the receivables purchased. One of the members of the GAAV personally guarantees up to a maximum of $500 plus interest and certain fees for accounts receivables sold pursuant to the Factoring Agreement.

The sale of the receivables is accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. In accordance with the Codification, receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and the Company has surrendered control over the transferred receivables. Accounts receivable sold to the Factor were $13,815, $14,183, and $13,408 during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Factoring commissions and other fees based on advances were $99, $171, and $177 for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 10—CREDIT FACILITIES

Credit facilities consist of the following arrangements:

(a) $100,000 Asset Based Credit Facility

On October 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $75,000 asset based credit facility with a financial institution which had an initial expiration date of October 21, 2010. On August 27, 2009, the credit agreement governing this facility was amended to reflect the Company’s ownership of GAG, LLC after the consummation of the Acquisition and which, among other things, revised the definition of “Guarantor” to include the Company. On July 16, 2010, the credit agreement was further amended to increase the amount of credit advances and letter of credit obligations from an aggregate of $75,000 to $100,000 and extend the term of the credit facility to July 16, 2013. In addition, the base rate for the revolving loan amount was amended to the greater of (1) the Wells Fargo prime rate; (2) the LIBOR plus 1.00% and (3) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. Prior to the amendment, the base rate was the Wells Fargo prime rate. In connection with the amendment, the Company paid a renewal fee of $250. On December 8, 2010, the credit agreement was amended and restated to allow for borrowings by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Cash advances and the issuance of letters of credit under the credit facility are made at the lender’s discretion. The letters of credit issued under this facility are furnished by the lender to third parties for the principal purpose of securing minimum guarantees under liquidation services contracts more fully described in Note 3(c). All outstanding loans, letters of credit, and interest are due on the expiration date which is generally within 180 days of funding. The credit facility is secured by the proceeds received for services rendered in connection with liquidation service contracts pursuant to which any outstanding loan or letters of credit are issued and the assets that are sold at liquidation related to such contract. The credit facility also provides for success fees in the amount of 5% to 20% of the profits earned on the liquidation contract, if any, as defined in the credit facility. Interest expense totaled $652 (including success fees of $365), $5,784 (including success fees of $5,146), and $492 (including success fees of $182) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. There was no outstanding balance under this credit facility at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(b) $100,000 Asset Based 2008 Credit Facility

The Company had an asset based credit facility with a financial institution which permitted credit advances and letter of credit obligations up to an aggregate of $100,000. Cash advances and the issuance of letters of credit under the credit facility were made at the lender’s discretion. The credit facility was secured by the proceeds received for services rendered in connection with liquidation service contracts pursuant to which any outstanding loan or letters of credit were issued and the assets that were sold at liquidation related to such contract. Borrowings under the credit facility bore interest at the Wall Street Journal Published Commercial Paper rate plus 3.25% (6.43% at December 31, 2008) and fees for letters of credit issued are 2.25% per annum. The credit facility also provided for success fees in the amount of 5% to 18% of the profits earned on the liquidation contract, if any, as defined in the credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense totaled $32 and there was no success fees paid under the credit facility in 2009.

(a) $60,000 Notes Payable

On July 31, 2009, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company issued a note payable to the Contribution Consideration Recipients in the initial principal amount of $60,000. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, an initial principal payment of $4,383 was made, thereby reducing the principal amount of the note to $55,617. On August 28, 2009, the note was replaced with separate subordinated unsecured promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued in favor of each of the Contribution Consideration Recipients. Prior to the Amendments described below, all Notes were payable in five equal annual principal payments in the aggregate amount of $11,123 due on the anniversary date of the Notes beginning on July 31, 2010 through July 31, 2014 with interest payable quarterly in arrears beginning October 31, 2009 at 12% per annum. On May 4, 2010, the Company entered into individual amendments (each, an Amendment and collectively, the “Amendments”) to an aggregate of $52,419 of the $55,617 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated unsecured promissory notes, which reduced the interest rate on the amended notes from 12.0% per annum to 3.75% per annum. The interest rate reduction was effective retroactive to February 1, 2010. In addition, the maturity date for $46,996 of the $55,617 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes was extended to July 31, 2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon the Company’s cash flow subject to certain limitations, as provided in the amendment to the notes payable, including, without limitation, the Company’s maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of $20,000. Each prepayment, if any, is due within 30 days of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. The remaining notes with $8,621 principal amount outstanding continue to be payable in five equal annual principal payments as described above. On October 27, 2010, the Company entered into individual waivers for an aggregate of $51,334 of the $53,893 principal amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders, whereby the noteholders agreed to permit the Company to defer payment of interest payments due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011, and April 30, 2011 until July 31, 2011. Interest expense was $2,692 and $2,775 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In accordance with the Amendments to the notes payable, the current portion of the amended notes payable in the amount of $1,724 and the long-term portion of the amended notes payable in the amount of $52,169 has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010.

(b) $6,707 Note Payable

On July 1, 2005, the Company entered into a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $6,707 payable to the seller of Garcel, Inc (see Note 8). The note payable required interest only monthly payments at Well Fargo Bank’s prime rate. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the balance of the note payable was paid in full in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition. Interest expense was $67 and $207, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(c) $1,500 Non-Interest Bearing Note Payable

On September 30, 2007, the Company purchased from one of the members of GAAV such member’s mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in GAAV (6.9%) in exchange for a non-interest bearing note payable in the amount of $1,500 with imputed interest of $55 at 5.0% (see Note 8). The note payable required annual payments of $500 in 2007, $700 in 2008, and was paid in full with the final payment of $300 in 2009. Amortization of the discount on the note payable was $9 and $32 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 12—NOTE PAYABLE

On May 29, 2008, GAGEE entered into a credit agreement with Garrison Special Opportunities Fund LP, Gage Investment Group LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”) to finance the purchase of certain machinery and equipment to be sold at auction or liquidation. The principal amount of the loan was $12,000 and borrowings bore interest at a rate of 20% per annum. The loan is collateralized by the machinery and equipment which were purchased with the proceeds from the loan. GAGEE was required to make principal and interest payments from proceeds from the sale of the machinery and equipment. GAGEE is a special purpose entity created to purchase the machinery and equipment, whose assets consist only of the machinery and equipment in question and whose liabilities are limited to the Lenders’ note and certain operational expenses related to this transaction. GAG, LLC guaranteed GAGEE’s liabilities to the Lenders up to a maximum of $1,200. The original maturity date of the loan was May 29, 2009; however, GAGEE exercised its right to extend the maturity date for 120 days until September 26, 2009. A fee of $180 was paid in connection with the extension. On September 26, 2009, the note payable became due and payable.

On October 8, 2009, GAGEE and GAG, LLC entered into a Forbearance Agreement effective as of September 27, 2009 (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the Lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC (“Administrative Agent”), relating to the credit agreement, by and among GAGEE, as borrower, GAG, LLC, as guarantor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising any of the remedies available to them under the credit agreement and the related security agreement until November 17, 2009, unless a forbearance default occurs, as specified in the Forbearance Agreement. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, GAGEE agreed to hold an auction of the assets collateralizing GAGEE obligations under the credit agreement on or before November 3, 2009 and to use the sale proceeds to repay its obligations under the credit agreement. In connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, GAG, LLC made a payment of $1,200 on October 9, 2009, in full satisfaction of its guaranty under the credit agreement which reduced the principal amount of borrowings and interest due under the credit agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company held an auction of the assets collateralizing GAGEE’s obligation on November 3, 2009. The sale of the assets at auction was subject to meeting the reserve prices and approval by the Lenders, and the auction did not result in the sale of any of the assets.

On December 31, 2009, GAGEE entered into an amendment to credit agreement (the “First Amendment To Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 18, 2009 with Garrison Special Opportunities Fund LP and the Administrative Agent, whereby the Lender agreed to forebear from exercising any of the remedies available to them under the Forebearance Agreement and the related Security Agreement and to extend the maturity date of the Forebearance Agreement until November 18, 2010, unless a forbearance default occurs, as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment To Credit Agreement and Second Amendment To Credit Agreement (collectively, the Amended Credit Agreement”), the interest rate was reduced from 20% to 0% and the Lender agreed to reimburse GAGEE for certain expenses from proceeds of the sale assets that collateralize the Amended Credit Agreement. The Forbearance Agreement expired on November 18, 2010. The Company and GAGEE are currently in negotiations with the Lenders to extend the terms of the credit agreement. GAGEE has no assets other than those collateralizing the loan. GAG, LLC has satisfied its obligation to pay the $1,200 guarantee and the credit agreement does not provide for other recourse against GAG, LLC. In the event the Company, GAG, LLC, GAGEE and the Lenders do not reach an agreement to extend the term of the credit agreement, the Lender may foreclose on the assets that collateralize the loan. Management believes the Company and GAG, LLC have satisfied all of their obligations under the credit agreement and if the lender were to foreclose on the machinery and equipment the impact on the consolidated financial statements and results of operations would not be material as total assets would decrease by $11,674 due to the lender taking title to goods held for sale or auction which is comprised of machinery and equipment with a carrying value of $9,705 and leased equipment with a carrying value of $1,969, and total liabilities would be reduced by $12,014 from the note payable that collateralized the machinery and equipment. At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate principal balance of the note payable was $12,014, $11,705 and $10,984, respectively. Interest expense in connection with this note payable was $309, $2,070 and $1,379 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The interest rate on the note was 20.0% from the inception of the credit agreement through December 18, 2009 and 22.0%, which represents the note rate of 20.0% plus the default interest rate of 2.0%, from the expiration of the forbearance agreement on November 18, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

There were no letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(b) Legal Matters

The Company is subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe that the results of these claims are likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES

Prior to the Acquisition on July 31, 2009, the Company’s results of operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to July 31, 2009. As a result of the Acquisition, beginning on July 31, 2009, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. The Company’s benefit for income taxes consists of the following for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:


	Year Ended December 31,

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $25,041 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $20,156. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the tax year ending December 31, 2030 and the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2031.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. As of December 31, 2010, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable earnings will be sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets and has not provided an allowance.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This accounting guidance addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under the accounting guidance, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of this accounting guidance.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. For periods prior to the Acquisition, the Company operated as a limited liability company which was taxed as a partnership. The Company and its subsidiaries’ state tax returns are also open to audit under similar statutes of limitations for the same tax years. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. The Company had no such accrued interest or penalties included in the accrued liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption.

NOTE 15—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of the Acquisition has been given retroactive application in the earnings (loss) per share calculation (see Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Treatment of the Merger). The common stock issued and outstanding with respect to the pre-Acquisition stockholders of the Company has been included in the earnings (loss) per share calculation since the closing date of the Acquisition.

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations were calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009		2008
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	(11,038	)	$	17,098	$	2,332

Weighted average basic shares outstanding exclude 2,320,000 shares outstanding during the period from the Acquisition through December 31, 2010. Of the 2,320,000 shares outstanding, 1,000,000 shares are held in escrow and subject to cancellation if the Adjusted EBITDA targets are not achieved as more fully described in note 2 and 1,320,000 shares are held in escrow and subject to cancellation in the event there are any Escrow Claims as more fully described in note 2.

NOTE 16—LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES

(a) Operating Agreements of Limited Liability Company Subsidiaries

The Company has subsidiaries that are organized as limited liability companies, each of which has its own separate operating agreement. These operating agreements generally have the same material terms. Each of these subsidiaries are managed by an individual manager who is a member or employee of the subsidiary, although the manager may not take certain actions unless the majority member of the subsidiary (GAG, LLC) consents to the action. These actions include, among others, the dissolution of the subsidiary, the disposition of all or a substantial part of the subsidiary’s assets not in the ordinary course of business, filing for bankruptcy, and the purchase by the subsidiary of one of the members’ ownership interest upon the occurrence of certain events. Certain of the members with a minority ownership interest in the subsidiaries are entitled to receive guaranteed payments in the form of compensation or draws, in addition to distributions of available cash from time to time. Distributions of available cash are generally made to each of the members in accordance with their respective ownership interests in the subsidiary after repayment of any loans made by any members to such subsidiary, and allocations of profits and losses of the subsidiary are generally made to members in accordance with their respective ownership interests in the subsidiary. The operating agreements also place restrictions on the transfer of the members’ ownership interests in the subsidiaries and provide the Company or the other members with certain rights of first refusal and drag along and tag along rights in the event of any proposed sales of the members’ ownership interests.

A member of the subsidiary who materially breaches the operating agreement of the subsidiary, which breach has a direct, substantial and adverse effect on the subsidiary and the other members, or who is convicted of a felony (or a lesser crime of moral turpitude) involving his management of or involvement in the affairs of the subsidiary, or a material act of dishonesty of the member involving his management of or involvement in the affairs of the subsidiary, shall forfeit his entire ownership interest in the subsidiary.

(b) Repurchase Obligations of Membership Interests of Limited Liability Company Subsidiaries

The operating agreements of the Company’s limited liability company subsidiaries require the Company to repurchase the entire ownership interest of each the members upon the death of a member, disability of a member as defined in the operating agreement, or upon declaration by a court of law that a member is mentally unsound or incompetent. Upon the occurrence of one of these events, the Company is required to repurchase the member’s ownership interest in an amount equal to the fair market value of the member’s noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary.

The Company evaluated the classification of all of its limited liability company members’ ownership interests in accordance with the accounting guidance for financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This guidance generally provides for the classification of members’ ownership interests that are subject to mandatory redemption obligations to be classified outside of equity. In accordance with this guidance, all members with a minority ownership interest in these subsidiaries are classified as liabilities and included in mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Members of these subsidiaries with a minority ownership interest issued before November 5, 2003 are stated on a historical cost basis and members of the Company’s subsidiaries with a minority ownership interests issued on or after November 5, 2003 are stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. The Company deems such repurchase obligations, which are payable to members who are also employees of these subsidiaries, to be a compensatory benefit. Accordingly, the changes in the historical cost basis and the changes in the fair value of the respective members’ ownership interests (noncontrolling interests) are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling interests share of net income was $1,805, $1,608, and $603 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in fair value of $205 for the year ended December 31, 2010 is recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was no change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 17—SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Grant of Membership Interests in Limited Liability Company Subsidiaries

The limited liability company operating agreement of GAAV was amended on January 1, 2008 to admit two additional members. Both such members were granted a 3% interest in the members’ equity of GAAV. The aggregate value of the grant of the membership interests totaled $1,440. The membership interests vest one-third on January 1, 2008, the date of grant, and one-third on January 1, 2010 and the remaining one-third on January 1, 2011. The membership interests were issued as employee share based payment awards that are being recognized over the requisite service periods. Share based compensation of $160, $400 and $880 for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to these grants.

The Company determined the fair value of the share based payment awards described above based on issuances of similar member interests for cash and references to industry comparables. The Company also relied, in part, on information obtained from appraisal reports prepared by outside specialists.

On June 1, 2002, participants in the Plan were collectively awarded 7,400 units, which entitled the holders to an aggregate amount equal to: (i) 37% of the increase in the book value of GAG, LLC from the date of grant in the event the participant terminates employment for any reason other than cause or (ii) an amount that is equal to the proceeds that an owner of 37% of the equity of GAG, LLC would receive upon the sale of GAG, LLC, in one transaction or a series of transactions as defined in the Plan. The awards vested upon grant and are forfeited if the holder is terminated from GAG, LLC for cause.

On January 4, 2010, the Company loaned $2,706 to GAHA Fund I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GARE. GAHA Fund I was created to purchase land and a commercial building that is planned to be sold by GARE. The note receivable is collateralized by the land and commercial building which was purchased with the proceeds from the loan. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The principal balance on the note and all unpaid interest was received in January 2011. Interest income was $268 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2010, the note receivable in the amount of $2,706 is included in note receivable – related party in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and accrued interest receivable in the amount of $268 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

On July 8, 2010, the Company loaned $3,224 to GARE for the purposes of investing in GAHA Fund II, LLC, a newly formed joint venture which is 50% owned by GARE. GAHA Fund II, LLC is a special purpose entity created to purchase non-performing distressed real estate loans at a discount to par from a financial institution and market the loans and real estate to third parties. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and all unpaid principal and interest is due on July 8, 2011. Interest income was $233 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2010, the note receivable in the amount of $3,224 and accrued interest receivable in the amount of $233 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In accordance with the accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has determined that the subordinated financing arrangements in the form of notes receivable described above with GARE changes the status of the entities to VIE. The Company, in determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of GARE, considered the voting interests of the members of GARE and each members ability to direct the activities of GARE. The Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE since decisions to direct the operations of GARE are done jointly by the members of GARE and the Company does not have a disproportionate voting interest which allows it to exercise any rights or powers that would enable the Company to direct the activities of GARE that most significantly impact GARE’s economic performance. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not consolidate GARE. The income (loss) from GARE is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is included in other income (loss) a loss in the amount $1,641, $861 and $17 in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss exposure related to these VIE’s is equal to the carrying value of the respective notes receivable – related party and accrued interest receivable described above.

NOTE 20—BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s operating segments, as defined by FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131), reflect the manner in which the business is managed and how the Company allocates resources and assesses performance internally.

Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit issued with respect to any Liquidation Sales of Other Assets shall not exceed the applicable Other Assets Borrowing Base.

(c) Until the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Borrower may from time to time request to borrow, repay and request to reborrow under this Section 2.1.

- 32 -

(d) All amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section, together with all other Obligations, shall be due and payable (or in the case of any Letters of Credit, shall terminate) on the earlier of the maturity date therefor pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that Lender or any of its Affiliates may determine, in their sole and absolute discretion and with no obligation so to do, to extend the termination or maturity date for any Bank Product Obligations beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date subject to the Borrower’s (or its Affiliate’s, as the case may be) satisfaction of any conditions therefor required by Lender or its Affiliate.

(e) A Borrower’s request for Revolving Credit Advances or Letters of Credit shall be made by irrevocable written notice by an Authorized Person of Borrower to the representative of Lender identified on Schedule 2.1 at the address specified thereon. Those notices without limiting the applicable Borrower’s agreement to deliver a Liquidation Loan Proposal pursuant to Section 2.1(f), must be actually received by Lender no later than (1) 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of any Inventory Advance, Capital Assets Advance or Other Asset Advances; (2) 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Business Day on which a proposed Sales Tax or Expense Advance is requested; and (3) with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations, 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the date which is at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date and subject to the terms and conditions governing Letters of Credit forth in Annex B attached hereto. Each such notice (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance” or “Notice of Letter of Credit Request,” as the case may be) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier). Any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance or Notice of Letter of Credit Request must be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1-1 or Exhibit 2.1-2, as applicable, and shall include the information required in such Exhibit and such other information as may be required by Lender. Any Notice of Letter of Credit Request must include the information described in Annex B and such other information as may be required by Lender. In addition, a Notice of Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the Lender) to be guaranteed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower and approvals by Lender may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and between Borrower and Lender.

(f) Inventory Advances, Other Assets Advances, Capital Assets Advances, and Letters of Credit.

(i) Subject to Section 6.15, if Borrower proposes to enter into Liquidation Sales Agreements with respect to any proposed Liquidation Sale, Borrower may propose (or shall propose if required to do so under Section 6.15) that Lender agree to make a Revolving Credit Advance to Borrower or incur Letter of Credit Obligations for Borrower’s account with respect to the Retail Inventory (Revolving Credit Advances made with respect to Retail Inventory (in whole or in part) are referred to as “Inventory Advances”) or Other Assets (Revolving Credit Advances made solely with respect to Other Assets are referred to herein as “Other Assets Advances”) that are proposed to be sold through such Liquidation Sale. In the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions acceptable to Lender (the United States and Canada are not acceptable to Lender for purposes of this sentence), Borrower may elect to conduct a Liquidation Sale by undertaking a Capital Assets Transaction with respect to a Merchant. In the event that, subject to Section 6.15, Borrower believes that such Capital Assets Transaction could be a Permitted Capital Assets Transaction, Borrower may propose that Lender finance a portion of such Permitted Capital Assets Transaction with a Revolving Credit Advance (in an amount not to exceed, together with any anticipated Inventory Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations under such Liquidation Sale, the Inventory Borrowing Base with respect thereto) (such advance, a “Capital Assets Advance”). Each such proposal (a “Liquidation Loan Proposal”) shall (A) be signed by an Authorized Person, (B) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(a)(i) attached hereto (as amended to reflect the applicable type of Liquidation Sale) and accompanied by all of the documents and information described on Schedule 2.1(a)(i), together with copies of any court orders for any Merchant party to an Insolvency Proceeding, (C) involve a proposed Capital Assets Advance, Inventory Advance, Other Asset Advance, or Letter of Credit in a minimum amount reasonably determined by Borrower and agreed to by Lender in its sole discretion, and (D) be sent so that it is actually received by Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Capital Assets Advance, Inventory Advance, Other Assets Advance, or incurrence of the Letter of Credit Obligations.

- 33 -

(ii) Within: (i) three (3) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of a Liquidation Loan Proposal in the US and Canada only and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of a Liquidation Loan Proposal in any other jurisdiction, Lender will notify Borrower in writing (such notice, a “Lender’s Offer”), which notice may be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(a)(ii) or such other form as Lender may elect, whether Lender:

(A) would be willing to make Revolving Credit Advance or incur Letter of Credit Obligations on the terms proposed by Borrower in which case Borrower shall be obligated to timely submit a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance or a Notice of Letter of Credit Request pursuant to Section 2.1(e),

(B) is not willing to make any Revolving Credit Advance or incur any Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Liquidation Sale, or

(C) would be willing to make a Revolving Credit Advance or incur Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to the proposed Liquidation Sale, but only at a specified Inventory or Other Assets Advance Rate that is different from that proposed by Borrower and/or with such other modifications specified in such notice.

Lender shall have sole discretion to decide whether or not to agree to any Liquidation Loan Proposal or to propose an alternative Inventory or Other Assets Advance Rate for the proposed Liquidation Sale. Lender shall not have any obligation to make a Revolving Credit Advance or incur Letter of Credit Obligations unless Lender actually receives, within two (2) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of a notice from Lender described in clauses (A) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence, written notice from Borrower of Borrower’s intention to request disbursement of such Revolving Credit Advance or incurrence of such Letter of Credit Obligations on the terms set forth in such notice from Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender has agreed to make a Revolving Credit Advance or incur Letter of Credit Obligations on the terms proposed by Borrower in the applicable Liquidation Loan Proposal, Borrower shall apply for such Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit on such terms (unless subsequently otherwise agreed by Lender in writing). In the event that, as a result of competitive bidding or otherwise, Borrower elects to increase the Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price (an “Overbid”) it is willing to pay under a Liquidation Sales Agreement for which it has provided to Lender a Liquidation Loan Proposal under Section 2.1(f)(i) prior to or after Lender’s sending a notice under Section 2.1(f)(ii), Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with written notice of such increase, together with a modified Liquidation Loan Proposal, and Lender shall have the option, in its absolute discretion, to determine whether to fund any portion of such increase, to reduce the Inventory Advance Rate or Other Assets Advance Rate in respect to such higher Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price, or to make a Revolving Credit Advance or issue a Letter of Credit only in accordance with the original terms proposed by Lender prior to such increase. The Lender shall not be required, without its consent, to increase the aggregate amount of any Revolving Credit Advances or Letters of Credit agreed to by Lender in Lender’s Offer as a consequence of any Overbid.

- 34 -

(iii) The amount of the Revolving Credit Advance and/or the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to each Liquidation Sale shall: (x) be calculated based upon the applicable Inventory Advance Rate or Other Assets Advance Rate and the actual Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price as determined pursuant to the applicable Liquidation Sales Agreement (or, if the actual amount required to be delivered to the Merchant by Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price is less than such Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price, such lesser amount) and (y) in the aggregate, not exceed at any time the applicable Inventory Borrowing Base or Other Assets Borrowing Base, as the case may be. The amount of any Capital Assets Advance and/or the Letter of Credit Obligations incurred with respect to any Permitted Capital Assets Transaction shall: (x) be calculated based upon the applicable Inventory Advance Rate and the Purchase Price as determined pursuant to the applicable Permitted Capital Assets Transaction (or any lesser amount actually paid by Borrower) and (y) in the aggregate with any other Liquidation Borrowings or Letters of Credit proposed in the Liquidation Loan Proposal, not exceed at any time the Inventory Borrowing Base for such Liquidation Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Advance and the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations may be incurred simultaneously with such advance, shall be disbursed as a single advance; provided, however, that in the event the Liquidation Sales Agreements require an initial payment by Borrower to the Merchant before the completion of a final inventory count, the Revolving Credit Advance may be disbursed in two or separate advances with the first portion of the Revolving Credit Advance being calculated based upon the applicable Inventory Advance Rate or Other Assets Advance Rate and the amount of such required initial payment and the second portion, if any, of the Revolving Credit Advance being determined and made based on the actual Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price as determined by the final inventory count and, if necessary, the amount of such subsequent Revolving Credit Advance being increased in correspondence with reductions to the related Letter of Credit Obligations.

(g) Sales Tax Advances. To the extent that Lender has received Collections with respect to a Liquidation Sale, which Collections include Sales Tax Receipts, Lender shall make, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 3.3) Revolving Credit Advances equal to the amount of such Sales Tax Receipts (each, a “Sale Tax Advance”), as and when Borrower is required to pay such amounts to the applicable Merchant or taxing authority, to enable Borrower to forward such amounts to such Merchant or taxing authority in accordance with the terms of the applicable Liquidation Sales Agreement. Borrower’s Notice of Revolving Credit Advance shall include documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing the amount of such Sales Tax Receipts.

- 35 -

(h) Expense Advances. With respect to each Liquidation Sale (other than Liquidation Sales solely financed by Lender pursuant to Capital Asset Advances unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion), Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 3.3) make Revolving Credit Advances to enable Borrower to pay Expenses to the Merchant or any third party entitled to receive such payment in accordance with the terms of the applicable Liquidation Sales Agreement, as and when Borrower is required to pay such amounts. With respect to each Liquidation Sale (other than Liquidation Sales financed by Lender pursuant to Capital Assets Advances unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion), Lender shall make such Revolving Credit Advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the actual Expenses of such Liquidation Sale, and (ii) an amount equal to one hundred and three percent (103%) of the amount for aggregate Expenses shown on the Budget for such Liquidation Sale (the “Total Expense Advance”); for an average two (2) week period provided, that the Total Expense Advance may exceed one hundred and three percent (103%) of the amount for aggregate Expenses shown on the Budget for such Liquidation Sale for an average two (2) week period to the extent that Borrower either provides Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such excess was not caused by a deviation from the plan for such Liquidation Sale as set forth in the documents and information furnished to Lender with the Liquidation Loan Proposal for such Liquidation Sale, or to the extent that such excess is caused by a deviation for which Lender has given its prior written consent. Borrower’s Notice of Revolving Credit Advance shall include documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing the amount of Expenses. If specified in the Liquidation Loan Proposal for such Liquidation Sale (other than Liquidation Sales financed by Lender pursuant to Capital Asset Advances unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion), Lender will incur Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to a portion of the anticipated Expenses of such Liquidation Sale; provided, that in such case Lender will not be obligated to make Revolving Credit Advances with respect to Expenses of such Liquidation Sale unless Lender is satisfied that the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Advances and the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations that Lender reasonably anticipates may ultimately be drawn upon does not exceed the Total Expense Advance.

(i) Notes. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender one or more notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Ceiling substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(e) (collectively, the “Notes”). Each Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable outstanding Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit Obligation, as well as all other Revolving Credit Advances, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.4. Notwithstanding any provision of any of the Notes, the entire unpaid balance of the Revolving Loan and all of the Notes, and all other non-contingent Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(j) Reliance on Notices. Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance, Notice of Letter of Credit Request, Liquidation Loan Proposal or similar notice believed by Lender to be signed by any Authorized Person of a Borrower. Lender may assume that each Person executing and delivering such a notice was duly authorized.

- 36 -

2.2 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of each Liquidation Borrowing solely for the purpose of making payments with respect to the Guaranteed Amount or Purchase Price, Expenses, Sales Tax Receipts, or the Recovery Amount, if any, with respect to the associated Liquidation Sale, as and when Borrower is required to pay such amounts in accordance with the terms of the applicable Liquidation Sales Agreements.

2.3 Maturity of Advances. With respect to Revolving Credit Advances or Letters of Credit made or issued in any given Liquidation Sale, each such Revolving Credit Advance shall be due and payable in full, and each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date of the first Revolving Credit Advance made or Letter of Credit issued with respect to such Liquidation Sale, or (ii) twenty one (21) days after the last day of the Sale Term as stated in the applicable Liquidation Sale Agreement.

2.4

Interest and Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Borrower may only request Revolving Credit Loans with an interest rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate plus the LIBO Rate Margin.

(b) Accrued and unpaid interest on Revolving Credit Advances shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the first day of each calendar month after the Closing Date; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Lender elects to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the option to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. In the event that Lender exercises such right of conversion, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender and its Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses resulting from such conversion in accordance with Section 2.4(i).

(c) Borrower shall pay interest to Lender on the Daily Balance of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances, plus (ii) the applicable Margin. All other Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Margin then applicable to Other Asset Advances.

(d) As to each outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay Lender a Letter of Credit Fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Annex B attached hereto) which shall accrue at a rate equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Fees applicable to such Letters of Credit times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

- 37 -

(e) Letter of Credit Fees and all other Fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations are outstanding. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, to charge interest and fees, all Lender Expenses (as and when incurred), Fees, and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including any amounts due and payable to Wells Fargo or its Affiliates in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the then extant Bank Products Reserve) to Borrower’s Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable Margin applicable for Revolving Credit Advances with an Inventory Advance Rate of 92.5% hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to Borrower’s Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Revolving Credit Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable Margin applicable for Inventory Advances with an Inventory Advance Rate of 92.5% hereunder. The Lender shall provide Borrower with copies of invoices it receives in respect to Lender Expenses upon request.

(f) If any payment on any Revolving Credit Advances becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(g) All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

(h) So long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and at the election of Lender after written notice from Lender to Borrower, the interest rates and the Letter of Credit Fees applicable to each of the Revolving Credit Advances, Letters of Credit, and other Obligations shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.4, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lender is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 2.4(a) through (e) above, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4(h), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in Section 2.8 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

(j) In connection with each LIBO Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBO Rate Loan on the date specified in any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBO Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(k) Borrower may prepay LIBO Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBO Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Lender of Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.8 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender and its Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.4(i).

(l) The following provisions shall apply to each LIBOR Loan:

(i) The LIBO Rate may be adjusted by Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to the Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate. In any such event, the Lender shall give Borrower notice of such a determination and adjustment and, upon its receipt of such notice from the Lender, Borrower may, by notice to the Lender (y) require the Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBO Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBO Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.4(i) above).

- 39 -

(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any Law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for the Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBO Rate, the Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and in the case of any LIBO Rate Loans that are outstanding, the date specified in the Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBO Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBO Rate Loans shall accrue interest at the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Loan plus the applicable Margin.

(iii) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Lender nor any Participant is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBO Rate. The provisions of this clause shall apply as if the Lender or any Participant had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBO Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBO Rate Loans.

2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender all Lender Expenses, including, but not limited to, the following fees and charges, which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter):

(a) Success Fee. Upon completion of the Final Accounting with respect to any Liquidation Sale, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Success Fee, if any, with respect to such Liquidation Sale. To the extent that Lender has received and is still holding payments with respect to such Liquidation Sale after all other Obligations with respect to such Liquidation Sale have been paid in full, Lender may apply the amount of payments against any Success Fee with respect to such Liquidation Sale. In the event that, in lieu of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, conducting a Liquidation Sale (and without waiving any Event of Default which may arise as a result of failing to conduct such Liquidation Sale) after Lender has made a Capital Assets Advance with respect to such Liquidation Sale, the Borrower receives any Proceeds with respect to the Senior Secured Debt or Capital Stock acquired through a Permitted Capital Assets Transaction which yields a Net Profit Margin, Borrower shall pay the Success Fee to Lender.

- 40 -

(b) Audit, Appraisal, and Valuation Charges. For the separate account of Lender, Borrower shall pay all audit, appraisal, and valuation fees plus out-of-pocket expenses, for each audit, appraisal, and valuation of the Collateral performed by or at the request of Lender, or the actual charges paid or incurred by Lender if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of Borrower, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess Borrower’s business valuation.

(c) Work Fee. In the event that Borrower has submitted a Liquidation Loan Proposal to Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(f) and Lender has committed pursuant to Section 2.1(f)(ii) to make a Revolving Credit Advance or incur Letter of Credit Obligations on the terms set forth in such Liquidation Loan Proposal (or on other terms proposed by Lender and accepted by Borrower) and Borrower (or any Liquidator JV, as applicable) thereafter enters into a Liquidation Sales Agreement but Borrower (or Great American or GAG Inc.) elects to fund its (or any of its Affiliates’) obligations (or its pro rata share of the obligations of any Liquidator JV, as applicable) under such Liquidation Sales Agreement without such Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit, then, without waiving any Default or Event of Default which may result (including, without limitation, as a result of any breach of Section 6.15) from Borrower’s election or any of Lender’s rights or remedies against Borrower under the Loan Documents or applicable Law (all of which Lender hereby expressly reserves), the Borrower shall pay the Work Fee to Lender, which Work Fee shall be deemed fully earned and payable upon the occurrence of such events. A Work Fee constitutes partial consideration for Lender’s work in reviewing the terms of such Liquidation Loan Proposals and shall not relieve Borrower of any other obligations hereunder to reimburse Lender for any other Lender Expenses or Fees howsoever arising. The Work Fee shall be paid no later than the first day of the next calendar month pursuant to Section 2.4(e), after Borrower (or any Liquidator JV) enters into such Liquidation Sales Agreement and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of Section 2.4(e).

2.6

Cash Management Systems.

(a) Borrower shall (i) establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms satisfactory to Lender at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.6 (each a “Cash Management Bank”), and shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all amounts owed to Borrower by any Person is directly deposited to one of the cash management accounts at such Cash Management Banks, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all Collections into one of the DDAs set forth on Schedule 2.6 (a “Cash Management Account”) at one of the Cash Management Banks or the applicable Collection Account. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.6, Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion over or control of any Collections, Borrower shall hold such Collections in trust for Lender and shall not commingle such Collections with any Person’s other funds or deposit such Collections in any account of any other Person except as instructed by Lender.

(b) Borrower shall establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Lender and each Cash Management Bank set forth on Schedule 2.7 and Lender (or another financial institution in the UK or other jurisdiction outside the United States acceptable to Lender) in respect to the Collection Account and Disbursement Account and, upon the request of Lender at any time, at any other DDA. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall be a Control Agreement (or reasonable equivalent) and provide, among other things, that (i) upon notice from Lender, the Cash Management Bank will comply with instructions of Lender directing the disposition of funds in the Cash Management Account without further consent by Borrower, (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) except as otherwise permitted under Section 2.6(e) or as otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole discretion, the Cash Management Bank immediately will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Cash Management Account to the applicable Collection Account identified by Lender and (iv) Borrower shall have no (A) access to such Cash Management Account(s) or the contents thereof and (B) right to direct the distribution of any funds from such Cash Management Account(s). In the event that for any Liquidation Sale, or portion thereof, conducted outside of the United States, Lender and Borrower shall establish a Collection Account to receive the proceeds of such Liquidation Sale outside the United States, all funds on deposit in such Collection Account shall be swept at such intervals as agreed by Lender and Borrower at the commencement of the Liquidation Sale to the Master Collection Account.

- 41 -

(c) Borrower has or shall establish and maintain a Cash Management Agreement with Lender (or another financial institution in the UK or other jurisdiction outside the United States acceptable to Lender) and each Cash Management Bank that maintains a Collection Account (which agreement shall govern such Collection Account). Such Cash Management Agreement(s) shall each be a Control Agreement and provide, among other things, that (i) upon notice from Lender, such Cash Management Bank will comply with instructions of Lender directing the disposition of funds in such Collection Account without further consent by Borrower, (ii) such Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such Collection Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Collection Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, (iii) the Cash Management Bank immediately will forward by daily sweep all amounts in such Collection Account to the Lender’s Account and (iv) Borrower shall have no (A) access to such Collection Account or the contents thereof and (B) right to direct the distribution of any funds from such Collection Account.

(d) Promptly at the request of the Lender, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender notification, executed by Borrower, to each depository institution at which such Borrower maintains any DDA (other than DDA’s established for petty cash), in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender in its sole discretion, of the Lender’s Liens in such DDA and, shall instruct such depository institution, upon direction of the Lender, to remit all amounts deposited from time to time in the DDA to the Lender’s Account or as otherwise directed from time to time by the Lender. Except as otherwise may be provided with respect to Blocked Accounts pursuant to Section 2.6(e), Borrower shall not establish any DDA hereafter unless, contemporaneous with such establishment, Borrower notifies Lender and, if requested by Lender, delivers to such depository institution the notification described herein and together with a Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall not change such direction or designation without the prior written consent of Lender. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall not direct any such depository institution referred to in this Section 2.6(d) to remit amounts to the Lender without taking into consideration other expenditures to be made from such accounts provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply to Cash Management Accounts, Blocked Accounts, or the Collection Account(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to provide a cash management agreement or other control agreement with respect to any DDA in which a balance of $2,500 (or the equivalent in any other currency) or less is maintained at all times (provided that the aggregate amount of such balances in all accounts does not exceed $20,000 and the full balance in such account is swept into the Collection Account at least twice per week).

- 42 -

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for each Liquidation Sale, prior to Lender’s making the Revolving Credit Advance or incurring the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Liquidation Sale, unless such requirement is waived in writing by Lender, Borrower shall establish a blocked account in Borrower’s name (the “Blocked Account”) at a bank acceptable to Lender, for the deposit of all Collections and other amounts that Borrower is entitled to receive and use with respect to such Liquidation Sale, and Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Blocked Account such amounts at least two times per week, or more frequently as Borrower may determine is appropriate. In the event that Borrower has not established a Blocked Account prior to the date on which Lender is otherwise willing to make a Revolving Credit Advance or incur the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to any Liquidation Sale, Borrower shall cause, in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, all Collections and other amounts which Borrower is entitled to receive and use with respect to such Liquidation Sale at the Collection Account at least two times per week, or more frequently as Borrower may determine is appropriate.

(f) Prior to Lender’s making the Revolving Credit Advance or incurring the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to each Liquidation Sale, the bank at which the Blocked Account for such Liquidation Sale has been established (if Lender has not waived such requirement as provided in Section 2.6(e)) shall have entered into a Control Agreement with Lender and Borrower, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, which shall immediately become operative at the bank at which the Blocked Account is maintained. Such Control Agreement shall provide, among other things, that such bank executing such agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such Blocked Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such account, and the bank at which the Blocked Account is located agrees to forward immediately all amounts in the Blocked Account to the Collection Account and to commence the process of daily sweeps from the Blocked Account into the Collection Account. Although, as a result of the collection of payments in the Collection Account, a credit balance may exist in favor of Borrower, under no circumstance shall such credit balance accrue interest in favor of Borrower.

(g) For each Liquidation Sale, Borrower shall establish, in its name, a separate account (each a “Disbursement Account”) at a bank acceptable to Lender in the United States (the “Disbursement Account Bank”) into which Lender shall deposit proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances with respect to such Liquidation Sale, except for those proceeds as to which Lender and Borrower have agreed upon an alternative method of funding, for use by Borrower solely in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Prior to Lender’s making such Revolving Credit Advance, the bank at which the Disbursement Account for such Liquidation Sale has been established shall have entered into a Control Agreement with Lender and Borrower, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, which shall immediately become operative at the bank at which the Blocked Account is maintained. Such Control Agreement shall provide, among other things, that such bank executing such agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such Blocked Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such account.

- 43 -

(h) The Cash Management Accounts, Collection Accounts, Blocked Account and the Disbursement Account for each Liquidation Sale shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment and performance of the Liquidation Borrowings and all other Obligations, and in which Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a Lien to Lender pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Unless Lender otherwise agrees, Borrower shall maintain the Blocked Account and the Disbursement Account with respect to each Liquidation Sale so long as there is any reasonable expectation that any additional Collections will be received or Revolving Credit Advances made with respect to such Liquidation Sale.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties that at all times the Lender shall benefit from a first priority Lien on all funds in any Cash Management Account, Collection Account, Blocked Account, and Disbursement Account wherever located. If the Law of any jurisdiction where any account is domiciled (or the bank at which such account is maintained) requires additional documents, agreements, and other measures in order to provide such first priority and perfection, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in executing such documents and agreements and taking such other measures, all to Lender’s satisfaction.

2.7

Payments.

(a) Receipt of Payments; Dollars Only. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to Lender’s Account in Dollars and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Lender later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. Any payment received by Lender on account of Borrower in a currency other than Dollars shall not be deemed to be a payment until the Lender has converted such currency into Dollars. Borrower shall remain liable for the full amount of any such payment due to Lender if, after conversion from such other currency into Dollars, a deficiency remains. Borrower shall also be liable for any costs, fees, expenses, Taxes, or other liabilities incurred by Lender as a result of receiving payment in such other currency or converting such currency into Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender is not obligated to accept any payment for any Obligations in any currency other than Dollars. In the event on occasion Lender agrees to accept payment for any Obligations in a currency other than Dollars, Lender’s acceptance on such occasion shall not require or oblige Lender to accept payment in other currencies thereafter.

- 44 -

(b) Crediting Payments; Float Charge. The receipt of any payment item by Lender (whether from transfers to Lender by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Lender’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Lender only if it is received into the Lender’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time). If any payment item is received into the Lender’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. From and after the Closing Date, Lender shall be entitled to charge Borrower, for the account of the Lender one (1) Business Day of ‘clearance’ or ‘float’ at the rate applicable to the Base Rate plus the applicable Margin applicable for Inventory Advances with an Inventory Advance Rate of 92.5% hereunder on all Collections that are received by Borrower (regardless of whether forwarded by the Cash Management Banks to Lender). This across-the-board 1 Business Day clearance or float charge on all Collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of the financing of Borrower; the effect of such clearance or float charge being the equivalent of charging 1 Business Day of interest on such Collections.

2.8

Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a) Prior to the date on which the Final Accounting for any Liquidation Sale is approved by Lender, any and all payments at any time or times received from or on behalf of Borrower (or from or on behalf of any Liquidator JV) with respect to such Liquidation Sale (including any Liquidation Sales where Borrower or a Liquidator JV, as applicable, provided an Overbid, whether or not Lender financed any portion of such Overbid) shall be applied, subject to the Final Accounting, in the following order:

(i) first, to repay the outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Advances (including Total Expense Advances) made by Lender to fund Expenses of the applicable Liquidation Sale;

(ii) second, to pay then due and payable interest with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Advances made in connection with such Liquidation Sale;

(iii) third, to pay then due and payable Letter of Credit Fees with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit issued in connection with such Liquidation Sale;

(iv) fourth, to pay all other then due and payable Fees (other than the Success Fee) and other Obligations incurred by Borrower in connection with such Liquidation Sale, other than interest or principal on account of Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Fees;

- 45 -

(v) fifth, to repay the outstanding principal of all Revolving Credit Advances (other than those referred to at the immediately preceding clause “i” of this Section) made with respect to such Liquidation Sale;

(vi) sixth, to be held by Lender as cash collateral for Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner described in Annex B until all of such Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to the applicable Liquidation Sale have been fully cash collateralized;

(vii) seventh, to fund a reserve held by Lender for all Expenses shown on the Budget that have not been paid or yet incurred with respect to the applicable Liquidation Sale, to the extent such Expenses have not been otherwise reserved for under a Letter of Credit;

(viii) eight, to fund a reserve held by Lender for the Recovery Amount with respect to the applicable Liquidation Sale;

(ix) ninth, to Borrower, to reimburse Borrower for duly documented Expenses paid by Borrower with respect to the applicable Liquidation Sale that were not funded with Revolving Credit Advances;

(x) tenth, to deposits to the Disbursement Account, for the benefit of Borrower, for payment of up to the Borrower Equity Amount;

(xi) eleventh, to any other unpaid amounts due to Lender in respect to other outstanding Obligations incurred in connection with other Liquidation Sales that have been completed;

(xii) twelfth, ninety percent (90%) of the remaining amount, if any, to preliminary payments based on the Net Profit Margin with respect to the applicable Liquidation Sale, pro rata based upon the Success Fee Percentage for such Liquidation Sale to Lender for the Success Fee and to deposits to the Disbursement Account for the benefit of Borrower; and

(xiii) thirteenth, the remaining ten percent (10%) to be held by Lender pending completion of the Final Accounting.

Upon the Final Accounting, any remaining amounts received by Lender with respect to such Liquidation Sale after application in accordance with the order set forth above, shall be applied in the following order: (i) to payment of any unpaid portion of the Success Fee, if any, with respect to such Liquidation Sale; and then (ii) to deposits to the Disbursement Account, for the benefit of Borrower.

(b) If upon the Final Accounting it is determined that any payments previously applied in accordance with Section 2.8(a) need to be adjusted to reflect the actual amounts of all of the items set forth in Section 2.8(a), and that the amount received by either party is greater than the amount than such party is ultimately determined to be entitled to receive, then such party shall pay the amount of such excess to the other party.

(c) Lender is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the applicable Loan Account incurred by Borrower with respect to any Liquidation Sale and cause to be paid by Revolving Credit Advances hereunder all Fees, interest and other amounts owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents with respect to such Liquidation Borrowing, if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due, even if such charges would cause the aggregate outstanding Obligations to exceed the Revolving Credit Ceiling. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Obligations hereunder.

- 46 -

(d) To the extent that Lender applies any cash payment to a reserve or cash collateral account maintained by Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a), Lender shall credit interest to any such account in an amount equal to the actual interest that Lender earns on overnight deposits.

2.9 Loan Account and Accounting. Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrowers will be charged with all Revolving Credit Advances made by the Lender, to Borrowers or for a Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued for a Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Expenses. All amounts received in the Lender’s Account from any Cash Management Bank shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8 and the Loan Account shall be credited accordingly. Lender shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrowers, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Expenses, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrowers, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower.

2.10 Disbursements & Disbursement Account. Lender is authorized to make the Revolving Credit Advances and is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit (or to cause Underlying Issuer to issue the Letters of Credit), under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person. Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Disbursement Account with the Disbursement Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by the Lender hereunder. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may add or replace the Designated Account Bank or the Designated Account on 30 days prior written notice to Lender; provided, however, that (i) such prospective Disbursement Account Bank shall be satisfactory to Lender and Lender shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of such Disbursement Account with the prospective Designated Account Bank, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Disbursement Account, Borrower, Lender and such prospective Disbursement Account Bank shall have executed and delivered to Lender a Control Agreement with respect to the Disbursement Account. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender and Borrower, any Revolving Credit Advance requested by Borrower and made by the Lender, in its sole discretion, shall be made to the Disbursement Account. The funding of a Revolving Credit Advance by Lender into the applicable Disbursement Account shall constitute the making of such Revolving Credit Advance hereunder. Lender shall not be obligated to cause the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Advance to be transferred to any other bank or other account, particularly any such account located outside the United States, and shall not be required to convert, or cause the conversion of, the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Advance into any non-United States currency.

- 47 -

2.11

Indemnity.

(a) Each Credit Party, jointly and severally, shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender, each Participant, and each of Lender’s or Participant’s respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable and documented attorneys fees and disbursements and other reasonable and documented costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 2.11(a) with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which a Credit Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by the Credit Parties with respect thereto. The Credit Parties shall be subrogated to an Indemnified Person’s rights of recovery to the extent of any liabilities satisfied by the any Credit Party and such Indemnified Person shall execute and deliver such instruments and papers as are necessary to assign such rights and assist in the execution thereof; provided, however, that, and, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, such subrogation rights of the Credit Parties may not be exercised until payment in full of all Obligations due hereunder and the termination of this Agreement and shall be subordinate to the Obligations due Lender in all respects. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT (NOT CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

(b) Each Credit Party shall each be liable, jointly and severally, to pay, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as a result of the engagement of such Credit Party, or any of their respective employees in, or any of such Person’s causing any Credit Party to engage in, any fraud, acts in bad faith or intentional breach of the terms of this Agreement, any Capital Assets Transaction, any Liquidation Sales Agreement, or the conduct of any Liquidation Sale. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 2.11(b) with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT (NOT CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

- 48 -

2.12 Access. Each Credit Party shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice as frequently as Lender reasonably determines to be appropriate: (a) provide Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors and employees (including officers) and to the Collateral, (b) permit Lender, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from such Credit Parties’ Books and Records, (c) permit Lender, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the Retail Inventory and Other Assets with respect to any Liquidation Sale, and (d) cause each Merchant to provide to Lender and its officers, employees and agents the same access to the properties and facilities and Books of such Merchant that are used in connection with the Liquidation Sale as is provided to Borrower by such Merchant under the applicable Liquidation Sales Agreement (or, with respect to any Capital Assets Transactions, pursuant to such Capital Assets Transactions). If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Credit Parties shall provide such access at all times and without advance notice. The Credit Parties shall make available to Lender and its counsel, as quickly as is possible under the circumstances, originals or copies of all books and records which Lender may request. The Credit Parties shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for Lender, as it may from time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person which maintains records for the Credit Parties, and shall maintain duplicate records or supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by the Credit Parties.

2.13

Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, unless a deduction is required by Law. If Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) subject to Section 2.13(b), the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable Law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

- 49 -

(b) A payment shall not be increased under Section 2.13(a) by reason of a deduction on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the Lender without a deduction if the Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any Law or Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(ii) the Lender is a Treaty Lender and the English Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (c) below.

(c)

(i) Subject to paragraph (ii) below, a Treaty Lender and each Borrower which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a deduction for or on account of Tax.

(ii)

Nothing in paragraph (i) above shall require a Treaty Lender to:

(A)

(B)

apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any advance made under this Agreement if it has so registered; or

(C)

file Treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to any advance made under this Agreement in accordance with paragraph (d) or paragraph (g) below and the English Borrower has not complied with its obligations under paragraph (e) or paragraph (h) below.

(d) Any Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall disclose to Borrower its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence at the same time as it becomes a Lender under this Agreement.

(e) Where Lender makes the disclosure described in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the English Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

- 50 -

(f) In the event that Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to an advance under this Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding subsection (d), the English Borrower shall not file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of Lender’s participation in any advance.

(g) If a Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the Lender determines that (i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or to that Tax Payment and (ii) the Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit, the Lender shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Borrower.

(h) If any present or future applicable Law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to Lender or the Underlying Issuer by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(i) subject any Lender or the Underlying Issuer to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any Letters of Credit (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Underlying Issuer and except where the imposition of such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee is attributable to a deduction for or on account of Tax required by law to be made by the Borrower or is compensated for by Section 2.13(i) (or would have been compensated for under Section 2.13(i) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in Section 2.13(i) applied)), or

(ii) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes based upon or measured by income or profits and except where the change in basis of taxation is attributable to a deduction for or on account of Tax required by law to be made by the Borrower or is compensated for by Section 2.13(i) (or would have been compensated for under Section 2.13(j) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in Section 2.13(j) applied)) of payments to Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Revolving Credit Advances or any other amounts payable to Lender or the Underlying Issuer under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or

(iii) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender or the Underlying Issuer, or

- 51 -

(iv) impose on any Lender or the Underlying Issuer any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Letters of Credit,

and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(i) to increase the cost to Lender or the Underlying Issuer of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Revolving Credit Advances or any Letter of Credit, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit or other amount payable to such Lender or the Underlying Issuer hereunder on account of such Revolving Credit Advances or Letter of Credit, or

(iii) to require Lender or the Underlying Issuer to make any payment or to forego any interest or repayment of any Letter of Credit Obligations paid by Lender or the Underlying Issuer or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by Lender or the Underlying Issuer from the Borrowers hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, upon demand made by Lender or the Underlying Issuer (as the case may be) at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to Lender or the Underlying Issuer such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Underlying Issuer for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Letter of Credit Obligations or other sum.

(i) Subject to Section 2.13(j), the Borrowers shall indemnify and, within ten (10) days of Borrowers’ receipt of Lender’s demand therefor, pay Lender for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by Lender, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(j) Section 2.13(i) shall not apply to any Tax based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or to the extent that any Tax or any liability arising therefrom is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.13(a) or would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.13(a) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.13(b) applied.

(k) Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation contained in the Loan Documents, the obligations of a Borrower under this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all Obligations.

- 52 -

2.14 Capital Requirements. If, after the date hereof, the Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any Law or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by the Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), will have the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then the Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay the Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by the Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail the Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

2.15 Communication with Accountants and Other Professionals. Borrower authorizes Lender to communicate directly with any professionals retained by Borrower in connection with any Liquidation Sale, and authorizes and shall instruct each of those professionals to disclose and make available to Lender any and all financial statements and other supporting financial documents, schedules and information relating to such Liquidation Sale, except to the extent that such materials are protected by a legally recognized privilege held by Borrower and disclosure thereof to Lender cannot be accomplished without causing a waiver by Borrower of such privilege.

2.16 Designation of US Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

(a) Each Borrower (other than the US Borrower) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the US Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Advances and the issuance of Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for those uses permitted hereunder. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Lender on account of Revolving Credit Advances, or Letters of Credit so made as if made directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Revolving Credit Advances are recorded on the books and records of the US Borrower and of any other Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facilities contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to fully, faithfully, and punctually discharge all Obligations of all of the Borrowers.

(c) The US Borrower may act as a conduit for each Borrower on whose behalf the US Borrower has requested a Revolving Credit Advance or the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(d) The proceeds of each Revolving Credit Advance which is requested by the US Borrower shall be deposited into the Disbursement Account or as otherwise indicated by the US Borrower. The US Borrower shall cause the transfer of the proceeds thereof to the (those) Borrower(s) on whose behalf such Revolving Credit Advance was obtained. The Lender shall not have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds by the US Borrower.

- 53 -

2.17 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.17), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Person composing Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.17 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

- 54 -

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Revolving Credit Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Lender with respect to the failure by any of the Borrowers to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.17 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.17, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.17 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.17 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the Persons composing Borrowers or the Lender.

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.17 are made for the benefit of the Lender, and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by Lender from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Persons composing Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.17 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

- 55 -

(i) Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

(j) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Lender, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Lender for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8.

2.18 Joinders. Borrower may request from time to time that any wholly-owned, special purpose Subsidiary of Great American become a Borrower hereunder pursuant to a Borrower Joinder for purposes of conducting a Liquidation Sale funded by a Liquidation Borrowing in any jurisdiction outside of the United States and Canada. Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to agree to permit any such Subsidiary to become a co-Borrower hereunder. Lender’s agreement to accept the joinder of any such Subsidiary shall not waive, diminish, or restrict Lender’s discretion hereunder as to whether to extend any credit to such Subsidiary or any other Borrower. In the event that Lender elects to permit such a Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder, such Subsidiary and each other Credit Party shall execute a Borrower Joinder and comply with such other conditions precedent required by Lender. Such conditions precedent may include, without limitation, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, of legal opinions, consents and approvals from any Governmental Authorities or other Persons, security documents granting Lender a Lien on substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary, Organizational Documents, financing statements, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, affirmation of each Credit Parties’ obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which each of the foregoing is a party. Upon execution and delivery, and Lender’s acceptance, of a Borrower Joinder and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth by Lender in connection with such Borrower Joinder, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, the Subsidiary party to such Borrower Joinder shall become a “Borrower” hereunder for all purposes, including, without limitation, with respect to all representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein. Borrower shall be liable for all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including fees of any local counsel retained by Lender) in connection with an actual or proposed Borrower Joinder, even if such Borrower Joinder is not accepted by Lender.

- 56 -

2.19 Currency Matters.

(a) Indemnity. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Borrowers hereunder. No payment to Lender or an Underlying Issuer (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) on account of any of the Obligations (including Fees and reimbursements) denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall discharge the obligation or liability in respect of which it was made unless and until Lender or Underlying Issuer shall have received payment in full in the Dollars Equivalent of such obligation or liability. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into Dollars, fall short of such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, the Borrowers, GAG Inc., and Great American each hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, with respect to the amount of the shortfall, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall.

(b) Fluctuations. In the event any Letter of Credit or other Obligations are at any time denominated in a currency other than Dollars, then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the last Business Day of each month with respect to such Obligations (the “Calculation Date”), and at such other times as shall be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, the Lender shall determine the Dollar Equivalent as of such date of such Obligations. The Dollar Equivalent so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following such determination (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. The Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Borrowers with notice of such Reset Date and the Dollar Equivalent determined pursuant to the preceding sentence. Without limitation of any of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder, Borrower shall immediately repay any outstanding Obligations if the aggregate amount of the Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Ceiling after any Reset Date.

(c) Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Agreement, the amount in one currency which shall be equivalent on any particular date to a specified amount in another currency shall be that amount (as conclusively ascertained by the Lender by it’s or Wells Fargo’s normal banking practices, absent manifest error) in the first currency which is or could be purchased by the Lender (in accordance with normal banking practices) with such specified amount in the second currency at the Exchange Rate.

In the event Borrower or any Liquidator JV is to acquire or acquires ownership of any Retail Inventory, Other Assets, or other Collateral then, prior to acquiring such ownership, Borrower shall notify Lender and shall maintain policies of insurance with respect thereto satisfactory to Lender in its Permitted Discretion prior to the acquisition thereof by Borrower.

If Borrower at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain, or shall fail to cause any Liquidator JV to fail to obtain or maintain, any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay all premiums relating thereto, Lender may at any time or times thereafter obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto which Lender deems advisable.

All sums so disbursed, including attorneys’ fees, court costs and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by Borrower to Lender and shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral and subject to the Great American Guaranty.

(b) Lender reserves the right at any time upon any change in Borrower’s risk profile to require additional forms and limits of insurance to, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, adequately protect both Lender’s interests in all or any portion of the Collateral and to ensure that Borrower is protected by insurance in amounts and with coverage customary for its industry or the type of property acquired by Borrower. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender from time to time a report of a reputable insurance broker, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, with respect to its insurance policies.

(c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, endorsements to all policies of insurance naming Lender as loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate, for those policies of insurance under which Borrower or a Liquidator JV is named as an insured. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any loss, damage, or destruction to the Retail Inventory, the Other Assets, or any other Collateral, whether or not covered by insurance. After deducting from such proceeds the expenses, if any, incurred by Lender in the collection or handling thereof, Lender shall apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8.

6.5 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall, and shall cause any Liquidator JV to, comply with all federal, state, national, local, and foreign laws and regulations applicable to it, except to the extent that the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 11.2 below.

11.2 Amendments. No amendment, modification, or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Borrower.

- 87 -

11.3 Releases. Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations under Section 2.10), termination of the this Agreement and a release of all claims against Lender, and so long as no suits, actions proceedings, or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, Lender shall deliver to Borrower termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations.

11.4 Fees and Expenses.

(a) The Borrower shall pay from time to time on demand all costs of collection, Lender Expenses and all reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which are incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration and delivery of this Agreement and of any other Loan Documents, and all other reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements which may be incurred in connection with or in respect to the credit facility contemplated hereby or which otherwise are incurred with respect to the Obligations.

(b) The Borrower shall pay from time to time on demand all Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable attorneys’ expenses) incurred, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, by the Lender.

(c) Borrower authorizes the Lender to pay all such fees and expenses, and in the Lender’s discretion, to add such fees and expenses to the Loan Account.

(d) The undertaking on the part of Borrower in this Section 11.3 shall survive payment of the Obligations and/or any termination, release, or discharge executed by Lender in favor of Borrower, other than a termination, release, or discharge which makes specific reference to this Section 11.3.

11.5 Tax and Expenses.

Any such amounts paid by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

- 88 -

11.6 No Waiver. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by Borrower shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.9 Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

In connection with and subject to the terms and conditions of that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2010, by and between the Borrowers and the Lender, Lender may issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit to a Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Annex B. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in such Credit Agreement.

Section

1. Letters of Credit Generally.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Lender, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, may issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or may request that an Underlying Issuer agree to issue Letters of Credit in its sole discretion and if such Underlying Issuer does so issue a Letter of Credit, the Lender may undertake to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to such Letters of Credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued, in accordance with Section 2 below; provided that after giving effect to the issuance of any requested Letter of Credit, (x) the aggregate outstanding Liquidation Borrowings shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Ceiling, (y) L/C Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (z) the expiry date of the proposed Letter of Credit is no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”). Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the issuance or amendment so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit may be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(b)

No Letter of Credit shall be issued, if:

(i) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur later than the date set forth for the maturity of Revolving Credit Advances under Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement unless the Lender has otherwise approved such expiry date in its sole discretion; or

(ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(c)

No Letter of Credit shall be issued without the prior consent of the Lender if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable Law or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Lender in good faith deems material to it;

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Lender applicable to letters of credit generally;

(iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender and Underlying Issuer in their sole discretion; provided that if the Lender, in its sole discretion, issues a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, all reimbursements by the Borrower of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit shall be paid in Dollars and subject to Section 2.19; or

(iv) The Lender or Underlying Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Lender or Underlying Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

Section

2. Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(a)

Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Lender in the form of a Notice of Letter of Credit Request in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Person. Any Notice of Letter of Credit Request or other document delivered hereunder that is signed by an Authorized Person shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership and/or other action and such Authorized Person shall be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of the Borrower. Such Notice of Letter of Credit Request must be received by the time required under Section 2.1(e) of the Credit Agreement. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Notice of Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Lender may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Notice of Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Lender: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Lender may require in its sole discretion. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Lender may reasonably require.

(b)

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Notice of Letter of Credit Request, the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may issue a standby letter of credit (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lender may extend such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, if (A) the Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to cause the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of Section 1 of this Annex or otherwise), or (B) one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement is not then satisfied.

(c)

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Lender will make available to the Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

Section

3. Drawings and Reimbursements.

(a)

Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Lender shall notify the Borrower; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Lender with respect to any such payment or other Letter of Credit Obligations. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Lender by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Advance to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) subject to the Revolving Loan Ceiling and the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement. Any notice given by the Lender pursuant to this Section 3(a) be given by telephone or electronic means.

(b)

With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Advance at the Base Rate because the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Lender a Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced (such Borrowing, an “L/C Borrowing”), which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section.

4. Obligations Absolute.

The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing and all other Letter of Credit Obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including this Annex) under all circumstances, including the following:

(a)

any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(b)

the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(c)

any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit, provided that the Lender has acted commercially reasonably;

(d)

any payment by the Lender or Underlying Issuer, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Lender or Underlying Issuer, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding;

(e)

any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower; or

(f)

the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Lender and Underlying Issuer and their respective correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

Section 5. Nature of Lender’s Duties.

Each of Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Lender and Underlying Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Lender nor the Underlying Issuer nor their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and attorneys-in-fact nor any of their respective correspondents, participants or assignees shall be liable for (i) any action taken or omitted in the absence of a breach of this Agreement, violation of applicable Law, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Lender nor the Underlying Issuer nor their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and attorneys-in-fact nor any of their correspondents, participants or assignees shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 4 of this Annex; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Lender, and the Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Lender’s breach of this Agreement, violation of applicable Law, willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lender or Underlying Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or the Lender or Underlying Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and the Lender or Underlying Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Section

6. Underlying Letters of Credit.

Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit. Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), or liability incurred by the Lender under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.

(a)

Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.

(b)

Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrower to Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is 0.50% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.

Section

7 Fees and Expenses.

Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, as compensation to Lender for each outstanding Letter of Credit (i) all Lender Expenses on account of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to three percent (3.00%) per annum multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Lender in arrears on the first day of each month.

Section

8. Increased Cost.

If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable Law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(a)

any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or

(b)

there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or Lender any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Underlying Issuer or Lender of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Underlying Issuer or Lender, then, and in any such case, Lender may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate hereunder. The determination by Underlying Issuer or Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

Section

9. Cash Collateral.

If, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligations for any reason remain outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then extant Letter of Credit Obligations. For purposes of this Section, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, as collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 105% (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars in an amount at least equal to 110%) of the then extant Letter of Credit Obligations, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo or an account maintained by the Lender. If at any time the Lender determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Lender or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate amount outstanding over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Lender determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the Lender and, to the extent not so applied, shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations.

Section

10. Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Lender.

The Borrower shall pay to the Lender the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

Section

11. Consignment of Bill of Lading.

The Borrower shall upon the request of the Lender consign to the Lender any bill of lading of any Collateral which is supported by a Letter of Credit issued by the Lender.

Section

12. Conflict with Issuer Documents.

In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
