STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into this 11th day of January, 2006 and effective as January 1, 2006 by and among Radiant Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), the shareholders of Airgroup Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), listed on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, the “Shareholders”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, an individual residing in the State of Washington, as agent for the Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Agent”). Defined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement. The Purchaser, the Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Agent are each referred to individually herein as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Shareholders own beneficially and of record 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, consisting of 158 shares of common stock, $10.00 par value (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Shareholders desire to sell, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, all of the Shares for the consideration and on the terms set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Shareholders have elected to appoint the Shareholders’ Agent as their sole and exclusive agent, representative and attorney-in-fact under this Agreement before and after the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

1.1

Sale and Purchase of the Shares.

In reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement as of the date of the closing of the transactions described in this Agreement (the “Closing”), the Purchaser agrees to purchase the Shares from the Shareholders, and the Shareholders agree to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver the Shares to the Purchaser, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, such sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Shares causing the entire right, title and interest in and to the Shares to be transferred beneficially and of record to Purchaser, free and clear of any Encumbrances or Rights of any kind or nature whatsoever; and at such time the Shares will be fully paid and non-assessable. At the Closing, the Shareholders will deliver to the Purchaser certificates evidencing the Shares duly endorsed in blank or with stock powers duly executed by the Shareholders. In consideration thereof, the Purchaser shall pay and deliver to the Shareholders the purchase price for the Shares set forth in and in accordance with Section 1.2.

-1-

1.2

Base Purchase Price.

(a) The base purchase price for the Shares (the "Base Purchase Price") shall be an amount equal to $11,900,000.00.

(b) The Purchaser shall pay the Base Purchase Price to the Shareholders as follows:

(i) Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders on the Closing Date (defined in Section 2.1) the amount of $9,500,000.00 in cash (the “Initial Cash Payment Amount”). On the 2-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders the additional amount of $500,000.00 in cash (the “Subsequent Cash Payment Amount”).

(ii) Subject to the terms of Section 1.2(b)(iii) below, the Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Base Purchase Price, or $1,900,000.00 (the “Earn-Out Amount”), to the Shareholders in three equal annual installments of $633,333.33 (each an “Earn-Out Payment”) covering the three-year earn-out period commencing from July 1, 2006 (the “Earn-Out Period”). The Earn-Out Payments will be based on the Income from Continuing Operations of the Company, calculated in accordance with Sections 1.2(b)(iii) and 1.2(c) below, during each of the fiscal years that fall within the Earn-Out Period. Subject to Section 1.2(b)(iii), the Earn-Out Payments shall be due October 1 of each of the years 2007 through 2009 (the “Earn-Out Payment Dates”).

(iii) Payment of each Earn-Out Payment for any full fiscal year within the Earn-Out Period shall be contingent upon, and the Shareholders shall not be entitled to the full amount of the Earn-Out Payment for such fiscal year unless, the Company achieves Income from Continuing Operations for such fiscal year in an amount equal to no less than $2,500,000.00 (the “Base Targeted Amount”). If the Company’s Income from Continuing Operations for any fiscal year during the Earn-Out Period is less than the Base Targeted Amount, then the Earn-Out Payment for that fiscal year shall be an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment, less the amount by which the Company’s Income from Continuing Operations for that fiscal year is less than the Base Targeted Amount (that amount, if any, being the “Shortfall Amount”). In order to protect the Shareholders from temporary fluctuations in the Company’s Income from Continuing Operations during the Earn-Out Period, a fiscal year-to-year analysis shall be made so that a Shortfall Amount in a fiscal year could be recovered in any subsequent fiscal year within the Earn-Out Period and paid by the Purchaser to the Shareholders. In such case, the Company’s cumulative Income from Continuing Operations at the end of each fiscal year within the Earn-Out Period, for such fiscal year and all prior fiscal years within the Earn-Out Period, shall be compared against the cumulative Base Targeted Amount for such fiscal years. To the extent such cumulative Income from Continuing Operations is in excess of such cumulative Base Targeted Amount, the Purchaser shall, simultaneously with payment of the next Earn-Out Payment, pay such excess to the Shareholders up to the Shortfall Amount.

-2-

(iv) The Earn-Out Payments shall be payable 100% by delivery to the Shareholders of shares of the common stock of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Shares”) not later than five (5) business days after the Earn-Out Payment Dates.

(v) The Purchaser Shares to be issued in connection with the Earn-Out Payments will be valued: to the extent the Purchaser Shares are traded on a securities exchange, through the NASDAQ National Market, or through the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average closing price or last sales prices, as applicable, of the Purchaser Shares for the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the Earn-Out Payment Date; or, if the Purchaser Shares are not so traded, as agreed by the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent and in the event that they can not so agree within five (5) business days after the Earn-Out Payment Date, then as determined by a valuation performed by an independent third party who shall be acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent. The Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of all costs, fees and expenses to engage such independent third party.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, the Income from Continuing Operations of the Company shall be determined based upon the separate financial statements of the Company, as determined under GAAP, as adjusted and calculated pursuant to the following provisions:

(i) The Income from Continuing Operations of the Company shall be derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Purchaser for each of the years in the Earn-Out Period; and

(ii) The Company shall be accounted for as a singular operating unit. Income from Continuing Operations of the Company shall be determined by adding back, to the extent deducted in determining Income from Continuing Operations, any overhead or management charges which may otherwise be charged by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser, other than (x) direct costs of the Company which are otherwise paid or incurred by the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser on behalf of the Company, or (y) that portion of the Purchaser's shared administrative services provided by the Purchaser for the benefit of the Company which are either: (1) agreed to by the Shareholders; or (2)(a) for services which generally replace services previously obtained directly by the Company internally or from third parties, and (b) are provided at no greater than market rates available from unaffiliated third party vendors.

1.3

Additional Base Purchase Payment.

As additional purchase consideration for the Shares (the “Additional Base Purchase Price”), on the 1-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall also pay to Shareholders $600,0000.00 in cash so long as at least a “Minimum Number” of the Independent Transportation Companies identified on Schedule 1.3 continue to operate as agents of the Company pursuant to their respective Transportation Service Agreements on the 1-year anniversary of the Closing Date. For the purpose of this Section 1.3, Minimum Number shall mean 31 less that number of Independent Transportation Companies, if any, that are terminated by the Company after the Closing Date.

-3-

1.4

Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment.

(a) As additional purchase consideration for the Shares, the Purchaser shall also pay to the Shareholders an additional earn-out payment (the "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment") in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000.00 as calculated below.

(b) The Purchaser shall pay the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment to the Shareholders as follows:

(i) The Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment shall equal 50% of the amount by which the Company’s cumulative Income from Continuing Operations (as determined in Section 1.2(b)) over the 5 year earn-out period from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2011 exceeds $15,000,000.00, shall be due on October 1, 2011 (the “Tier -2 Payment Date”), and shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Shareholders not later than five (5) business days after the Tier-2 Payment Date.

(ii) The Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment shall be payable 100% by delivery of additional Purchaser Shares to be valued at: to the extent the Purchaser Shares are traded on a securities exchange, through the NASDAQ National Market, or through the OTC Bulletin Board, the volume weighted average closing price or last sales prices, as applicable, of the Purchaser Shares for the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment Date; or, if the Purchaser Shares are not so traded, as agreed by the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent and in the event that they can not so agree within five (5) business days after the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment Date, then as determined by a valuation performed by an independent third party who shall be acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent. The Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of all costs, fees and expenses to engage such independent third party.

1.5

Objections; Dispute Resolution.

(a) Not later than five (5) business days after each Earn-Out Payment Date and the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment Date, as the case may be, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders, along with the Earn-Out Payment or Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment, as the case may be, a certificate (the “Earn-Out Certificate”) signed by a senior executive of the Purchaser setting forth the amount and method of calculating Income from Continuing Operations for the prior fiscal year (or, in the case of the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment, for the prior 5 fiscal years), the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment or Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment, as the case may be, then due, if any, and the recovery of the Shortfall Amount, if any, if applicable.

(b) If the Shareholders’ Agent concludes that any matter reported in an Earn-Out Certificate is not accurate, the Shareholders’ Agent shall, within thirty (30) days after their receipt of such certificate (the “Response Period”), deliver to the Purchaser a written statement (the “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to each of any discrepancies believed to exist. If no Objection Notice is given within the Response Period for a particular Earn Out Certificate, then the calculations set forth in such Earn-Out Certificate shall be controlling for all purposes of this Agreement.

-4-

(c) If an Objection Notice is timely given within the Response Period, the Purchaser and the Shareholders shall use good faith efforts to jointly resolve any objections and discrepancies set forth in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Purchaser of such Objection Notice, which resolution, if achieved, shall be fully and completely binding upon all Parties to this Agreement and not subject to further review, appeal, or dispute.

(d) If the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to resolve the objections and discrepancies set forth in such Objection Notice to their mutual satisfaction within such thirty (30) day period, then the matter shall be submitted to an accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent (the “Independent Accountants”). In submitting such matter to the Independent Accountants, the Purchaser, and the Shareholders shall concurrently furnish, at their own expense, to the Independent Accountants and the other Party such documents and information as the Independent Accountants may request. Each Party may also furnish to the Independent Accountants such other information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to the other Party. Neither Party shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent Accountants without the other Party either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Independent Accountants may conduct a conference concerning the objections and disagreements between the Purchaser and the Shareholders, at which conference each Party shall have the right to (i) present its documents, materials and other evidence (previously provided to the Independent Accountants and the other Party), and (ii) have present its or their advisors, accountants and/or counsel. The Independent Accountants shall promptly (but not to exceed seventy-five (75) days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountants) render a decision, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, on the issues presented, and such decision shall be final and binding on all of the Parties to this Agreement. In the event the Independent Accountants require a payment to be made by the Purchaser to the Shareholders, such payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date the decision is rendered (“Independent Accountant Required Payment”). Each of the Parties shall agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Accountants, and to execute whatever documents or agreements are necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

(e) The Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of all costs, fees and expenses to engage the Independent Accountants.

(f) In connection with its review of the all matters arising under the Earn-Out Certificate, the Purchaser shall afford the Shareholders and their representatives complete access to the books, records, personnel and facilities of or pertaining to the Company.

1.6

Purchase Price Adjustments.

The Base Purchase Price has been agreed to by the Parties on the assumption that the Company shall have no Bank Indebtedness as of the Closing Date. To the extent the Company shall have outstanding Bank Indebtedness as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser and Shareholders agree that the Purchaser may reduce the cash portion of the Base Purchase Price by the amount of such Bank Indebtedness.

The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days (or, if shorter, a period to a date not less than ten (10) days prior to when a responsive pleading or other document is required to be filed but in no event less than ten (10) days from delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice) (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnitee (a) whether or not it disputes the Claim and (b) if liability hereunder is not disputed, whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor elects to defend by appropriate proceedings, such proceedings shall be promptly defended by Indemnitor; and all costs and expenses of such proceedings and the amount of any judgment shall be paid by the Indemnitor.

The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnitor has disputed the Claim, as provided above, and has not provided the Indemnitee with timely notice of its election to defend the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 5.4(a), the Indemnitee shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such Claim, in its sole discretion, and shall be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for its reasonable costs and expenses of such defense. Neither Indemnitee nor Indemnitor shall be otherwise liable for any settlement of any Claim without the prior written consent of the other party.

(b) Non-Third Party Claims. In the event that the Indemnitee has a Claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a Claim being asserted against it or sought to be collected by a third party, the Indemnitee shall promptly send a Claim Notice with respect to such Claim to the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not satisfy the Claim within thirty (30) days of the date of the Claim Notice, then such Claim shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof.

(c) Right of Set-Off. In the event a Claim arises pursuant to Section 5.1(a), in addition to any other rights Purchaser may have with respect to such Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to apply the amount of the Claim against any payment required to be made by Purchaser under this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to asserting its rights under this Section 5.4(c), Purchaser shall have delivered a Claim Notice to the Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Agent in accordance with Section 5.4(a) or (b), as applicable, which shall set forth the amount of the Claim (the “Claim Amount”). In the event that the Shareholders or the Shareholders’ Agent notify the Purchaser within the time period set forth in Section 5.4(a) or (b), as applicable, that they dispute the Claim and the Claim has not been settled or resolved prior to the time payment from the Purchaser is due, Purchaser shall deliver to a third party acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Agent, as escrow agent, an amount equal to the Claim Amount which shall be held in an interest-bearing escrow account and distributed after resolution of such Claim. In the event that the Claim is submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator (defined in Section 6.8) and the Arbitrators (defined in Section 6.8) unless otherwise determined by the Arbitrators.
