(1) Gulf South Medical Supply, Inc. is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and all of the issued shares of capital stock of Gulf South Medical Supply, Inc. have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non assessable, and are owned of record by the Company;

(2) To the knowledge of such counsel, other than as set forth in the Offering Circular, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party which seek to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise challenge the transactions contemplated hereby or the issuance or sale of the Securities or issuance of the Stock upon conversion of the Securities;

(3) The Securities have been duly authorized for issuance under the provisions of the Indenture and when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); and the Securities and the Indenture conform to the descriptions thereof in the Offering Circular;

(4) Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery and authentication by the other parties thereto, the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transaction Documentation and the Indenture constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);

(5) The issue and sale of the Securities and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Securities, the Indenture and this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, or filed as an exhibit to any subsequently filed Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, nor will such actions result in any violation of the provisions of any statute, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America, or the Delaware General Corporation Law, or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any judgment, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties;

(6) No consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body of the State of New York or the United States of America, or under the Delaware General Corporation Law, is required for the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Securities,

10

the Indenture or the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transaction Documentation, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Purchaser;

(7) The statements set forth in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular under the captions “Description of Notes” and “Description of Capital Stock”, insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Securities and the Stock, under the caption “Certain United States Federal Tax Considerations”, and under the caption “Plan of Distribution”, insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate, complete and fair;

(8) The Exchange Act Reports (other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

(9) No registration of the Securities under the Act, and no qualification of an indenture under the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect thereto, is required for the offer, sale and initial resale of the Securities by the Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement; and

(10) The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the net proceeds thereof as described in the Offering Circular under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will not be, an “investment company”, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

Such counsel has no reason to believe that (A) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (other than the financial statements and other financial data therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (B) the Offering Circular and any further amendments or supplements thereto made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and other financial data therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) contained as of its date or contains as of the Time of Delivery an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits, as the case may be, to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Such counsel may limit its opinions to the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America. In rendering such opinions, such counsel may assume any matters governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and, as to matters of fact, may rely upon certificates of officers of the Company and of governmental officials.

(ii) Holland & Knight LLP, special counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to the Purchaser and the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Counterparty their written opinion, dated such Time of Delivery, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that:

(6) No consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body of the State of Florida is required for the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture or the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transaction Documentation, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Purchaser;

(7) The provisions contained in Section 15.01(c) of the Indenture that restrict the ability of the holder of the Notes to exercise and receive delivery of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company underlying the Notes are effective, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, to limit the beneficial ownership (for purposes of Article IX of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Section 607 of the Florida Business Corporation Act) attributable to ownership of the Notes to the limit set forth in such provisions contained in Section 15.01(c) of the Indenture; and

(e) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities;

(g) The Securities have been designated for trading on the PORTAL Market;

(h) The shares of Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities shall have been duly listed, subject to notice of issuance, on The NASDAQ Global Select Market;

(k) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you at such Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsection (d) of this Section and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request.

9.    (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon

13

an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the Commission on July 23, 2008, any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein.

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or

14

payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchaser, in each case as set forth in the Offering Circular. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act.

10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Purchaser, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of either of them, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any controlling person of the Purchaser, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

11. If for any reason the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein (except for failure of the condition set forth in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(f) hereof or default by the Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Securities), the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for all out of pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in making preparations for the offer, sale, purchase and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to the Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

12. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchaser shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Registration Department; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Circular, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

15

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Purchaser is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchaser to properly identify its clients.

13. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchaser, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or the Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and except as set forth in Section 5(f), no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from the Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

14. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

15. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) the Purchaser has assumed no advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Purchaser has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

18. The Company and the Purchaser hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

19. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (and the Company’s employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Purchaser’s imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
