Dear Sirs:

The term “Disclosure Package” means (i) the Preliminary Prospectus, as most recently amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Initial Sale Time (as defined herein), (ii) the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, (iii) any other Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (iv) the information set forth in Schedule IV hereto.  The Underwriters have informed the Company that the Underwriters have or will orally provide the information set forth on Schedule IV hereto to prospective purchasers of the Shares prior to confirming sales of such Shares to such prospective purchasers.

The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree as follows:

(a)           Initial Shares.  Upon the basis of the warranties and representations and other terms and conditions herein set forth, at the purchase price per share of Common Stock of $[_____], the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule I opposite its name and each Initial Selling Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to the Underwriters the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule I opposite such Initial Selling Stockholder’s name, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and the Initial Selling Stockholders the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule II opposite such Underwriter’s name, plus any additional number of Initial Shares which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, subject in each case, to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(b)           Option Shares.  In addition, upon the basis of the warranties and representations and other terms and conditions herein set forth, at the purchase price per share of Common Stock set forth in paragraph (a) above, each Option Selling Stockholder, acting severally and not jointly, hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, to purchase from each Option Selling Stockholder in Schedule I hereto, all or any part of the Option Shares set forth in Schedule I opposite such party’s name, plus any additional number of Option Shares which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof.  The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time within such 30-day period only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Shares upon notice by the Representatives to the Company and the Attorneys setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Shares.  Any such time and date of delivery (an “Option Closing Time”) shall be determined by the Representatives,

The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, at any time prior to the Closing Time or any Option Closing Time, (i) if any of the conditions specified in Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be fulfilled, or (ii) if there has been since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, any Material Adverse Change, or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Change, or material change in management of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic, political or other conditions, the effect of which on the United States or international financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (iv) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission, by Nasdaq or in the over the counter market, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq has been suspended (including an automatic halt in trading pursuant to market-decline triggers, other than those in which solely program trading is temporarily halted), or limitations on prices for trading (other than limitations on hours or numbers of days of trading) have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (v) any federal, state, local or foreign statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority has been enacted, published, decreed or otherwise promulgated which, in the

-31-

reasonable judgment of the Representatives, materially adversely affects or will materially adversely affect the business or operations of the Company, or (vi) any action has been taken by any federal, state, local or foreign government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, has a material adverse effect on the securities markets in the United States.

If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company and the Underwriters shall be notified promptly by telephone, promptly confirmed by facsimile.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Company or the Selling Stockholders shall be unable to comply in all material respects with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5 and 9 hereof) and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company or the Selling Stockholders under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

8. Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments:

If any Underwriter shall default at the Closing Time or on any Option Closing Time in its obligation to take up and pay for the Shares to be purchased by it under this Agreement on such date, the Representatives shall have the right, within 36 hours after such default, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares which such Underwriter shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for (the “Defaulted Shares”).  Absent the completion of such arrangements within such 36-hour period, (i) if the total number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares to be purchased on such date, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall take up and pay for (in addition to the number of Shares which it is otherwise obligated to purchase on such date pursuant to this Agreement) the portion of the total number of Shares agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter on such date in the proportion that its underwriting obligations hereunder bears to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; and (ii) if the total number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of such total number of Shares to be purchased on such date, the Representatives may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Company, without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Shares hereunder on such date unless all of the Shares to be purchased on such date are purchased on such date by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by

-32-

the Representatives with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with the approval of the Representatives).

If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted for a defaulting Underwriter in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Option Closing Time for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and other documents, as applicable, may be effected.

The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with the same effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in this Agreement.

-33-

indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Founder Selling Stockholders may otherwise have.

(b)           Each Selling Stockholder other than the Founder Selling Stockholders (the “Non-Founder Selling Stockholders”), severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter and any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of  the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the respective directors, officers and employees of each Underwriter, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or controlling person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file with the Commission, or the Prospectus, (B) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or (C) any omission or alleged omission from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; but only insofar as any such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Non-Founder Selling Stockholder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not require any such Non-Founder Selling Stockholder to indemnify the Underwriters for in excess of the net proceeds received by such Non-Founder Selling Stockholder as a result of the offering contemplated by this Agreement.  The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Non-Founder Selling Stockholders may otherwise have.

If any action is brought against an Underwriter or controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or any Selling Stockholder pursuant to subsection (a) above or subsection (b) above, such Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in writing of the institution of such action, and the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses; provided, however, that any failure or delay to so notify the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, will not relieve the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, of any obligation hereunder, except to the extent that its ability to defend is actually impaired by such failure or delay.  Such Underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such

-34-

case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in connection with the defense of such action, or the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable (in which case neither the Company nor such Selling Stockholder shall have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall be liable for the expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for the Underwriters or controlling persons in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action).  Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its consent.

(c)           Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder, the Company’s directors, the Company’s officers that signed the Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company, the Selling Stockholder or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, but only insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file with the Commission, the Preliminary Prospectus, Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (B) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or (C) any omission or alleged omission from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, Disclosure Package or Prospectus of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only insofar as such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, Disclosure Package or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by the Underwriters through the Representatives to the Company expressly for use therein.  The statements set forth in the table in the first paragraph and in the third, ninth, tenth, twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs under the

-35-

caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (to the extent such statements relate to the Underwriters) constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives to the Company for purposes of Section 3(m), Section 3(n) and Section 3(o) and this Section 9.  The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(c) shall be in addition to any liabilities that such Underwriter may otherwise have.

If any action is brought against the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company, the Selling Stockholder or such person shall promptly notify the Representatives in writing of the institution of such action and the Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses; provided, however, that any failure or delay to so notify the Representatives will not relieve the Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, of any obligation hereunder, except to the extent that its ability to defend is actually impaired by such failure or delay.  The Company, the Selling Stockholder or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, the Selling Stockholder or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Representatives in connection with the defense of such action or the Representatives shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Underwriters (in which case the Representatives shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such Underwriter and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action).  Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, no Underwriter shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without the written consent of the Representatives.

(d)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9 in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of

the Company and of the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company or the Selling Stockholders, as applicable, bear to the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters.  The relative fault of the Company, of the Selling Stockholders and of the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company and by the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, or by the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim or action.

(e)           The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d)(i) and, if applicable (ii), above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder as a result of the offering contemplated by this Agreement.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.  The Selling Stockholders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective portion of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Selling Stockholders and not joint.

10. Survival:

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the respective directors, officers and employees of

-37-

each Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors and officers, the Selling Stockholders or any person who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Shares.  The Company, each Selling Stockholder and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify the others of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company’s officers and directors, in connection with the sale and delivery of the Shares, or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

11. Duties:

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties.  The Underwriters undertake to perform such duties and obligations only as expressly set forth herein.  Such duties and obligations of the Underwriters with respect to the Shares shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and the Underwriters shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to the Shares as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.  Each of  the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company and the Selling Stockholders are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Selling Stockholders or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Stockholders with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on other matters); and (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholders and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests.  The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges that the Underwriters disclaim any implied duties (including any fiduciary duty), covenants or obligations arising from the Underwriters’ performance of the duties and obligations expressly set forth herein.  The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Selling Stockholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned stockholder of Liquidity Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that it is contemplated that certain stockholders of the Company, including the undersigned (the “Selling Stockholders”), will sell Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company to certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) represented by Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (“FBR”), CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the “Representatives”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement referred to below, and that the Underwriters propose to offer and sell such Common Stock (the “Offering”) to the public. The undersigned also understands that, in connection with such offer and sale, the Company has filed a Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the shares to be sold in the Offering under the Securities Act of 1933.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Power of Attorney, the undersigned is also executing and delivering a Custody Agreement in substantially the form attached as Annex I (the “Custody Agreement”) pursuant to which certificates for shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing at least the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned as set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this instrument, are being deposited with Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc., as custodian (the “Custodian”).

(1)           In connection with the foregoing, the undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III and Xxxxx X.

(c)           for the purpose of effecting such sale, to make, execute, deliver and perform the undersigned’s obligations under the Underwriting Agreement among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters substantially in the form distributed to the undersigned on or about February [__], 2007 (such agreement, in the form in which executed, being herein called the “Underwriting Agreement”), receipt of a draft of which is hereby acknowledged, containing such additions to or changes in the terms, provisions and conditions thereof as the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion shall determine, including, subject to the limitation set forth in paragraph 1(b) hereof, the purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters and including any additions to or changes in the terms, provisions and conditions thereof relating to the public offering of such Common Stock by the Underwriters; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned above the Maximum Number of Shares as set forth on the signature page hereof or (ii) materially increase or expand the obligations of the undersigned from those set forth in the draft Underwriting Agreement distributed to the undersigned on or about February [__], 2007;

(d)           to give such orders and instructions to the Custodian and the transfer agent for the Common Stock as the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion shall determine, with respect to (i) the transfer of the Common Stock on the books of the Company in order to effect the sale to the Underwriters, including giving the name or names in which new certificates for such Common Stock are to be issued and the denominations thereof, (ii) the delivery to or for the account of the Underwriters of certificates for such Common Stock against receipt by the Custodian of the purchase price to be paid therefor, (iii) the payment by the Custodian out of the proceeds of such sale of any expenses that are to be borne by the undersigned in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Common Stock, (iv) the remittance to the undersigned of new certificates representing that number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that is in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock sold and to be sold at any subsequent Closing Date by the undersigned to the Underwriters;

(e)           to retain legal counsel in connection with any and all matters referred to herein (which counsel may, but need not, be counsel for the Company);

(f)            to execute and deliver any amendment to the Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by

A-7

the undersigned above the Maximum Number of Shares as set forth on the signature page hereof or lengthen the period of irrevocability thereunder;

(g)           to agree to the allocation of the expenses of the offering among the Company and the Selling Stockholders, including the undersigned;

(h)           to endorse (in blank or otherwise) on behalf of the undersigned the certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned, or a stock power or powers attached to such certificate or certificates;

(i)            to make, acknowledge, verify and file on behalf of the undersigned applications, consents to service of process and such other documents, undertakings or reports as may be required by law with state commissioners or officers administering state securities laws, provided that the undersigned shall not be required to qualify as a foreign entity or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; and

(j)            to make, exchange, acknowledge and deliver all such other contracts, powers of attorney, orders, receipts, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, including communications to the Commission, and amendments to the Underwriting Agreement, and in general to do all things and to take all actions, that the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion may consider necessary or proper in connection with or to carry out the aforesaid sale of Common Stock to the Underwriters and the public offering thereof, as fully as could the undersigned if personally present and acting. The Attorneys will promptly provide the undersigned with copies of any amendments and new agreements executed on behalf of the undersigned.

If any event described in the preceding sentence shall occur before the delivery of the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned under the Underwriting Agreement, certificates for such Common Stock shall be delivered by or on behalf of the undersigned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement, and all other actions required to be taken under the Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement shall be taken, and action taken by the Attorneys, or any one of them, pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be as valid as if such event had not occurred, whether or not the Custodian, the Attorneys, or any one of them, shall have received notice of such event.

A-8

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underwriting Agreement shall not be entered into and the transactions contemplated thereby shall not be consummated by June 30, 2007 or shall terminate pursuant to the terms thereof, then from and after such date the undersigned shall have the power to revoke all authority hereby conferred by giving notice on or promptly after such date to each of the Attorneys, with a copy to the Custodian, that this Power of Attorney has been terminated; subject, however, to all lawful action done or performed by the Attorneys or any one of them, pursuant to this Power of Attorney prior to the actual receipt of such notice.

(3)           The undersigned ratifies all that the Attorneys, or any one of them, has done or shall do pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Power of Attorney.

(4)           The undersigned represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that this Power of Attorney and the Custody Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the undersigned and constitute valid and binding agreements of the undersigned in accordance with their respective terms.

(6)           The undersigned agrees, if so requested, to provide such documentation as the Attorneys, the Company, the Representatives or any of their respective counsel may reasonably request to effectuate any of the provisions hereof or of the Underwriting Agreement, all of the foregoing to be in form and substance satisfactory in all respects to the party requesting such documentation.

Attn: General Counsel

Dear Sirs:

There are delivered to you herewith one or more certificates, in negotiable and proper deliverable form (with the signature guaranteed by a bank, trust company, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, government securities dealer or broker, credit union, a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency, or a savings institution that is a participant in a Securities Transfer Association recognized program or by a Medallion Signature Guarantor or accompanied by a duly executed stock power or powers, in blank, in the form attached hereto bearing the signature of the undersigned so guaranteed), representing shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) of Liquidity Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) representing at least the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this agreement. The undersigned agrees to deliver to the Attorneys (as defined herein) or to you such additional documentation as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or the Company or Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (“FBR”) or you or any of their respective counsel may reasonably request to effectuate or confirm compliance with any of the provisions hereof, of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined herein), all of the foregoing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Attorneys (as defined below) and you. The certificates for the Common Stock are to be held by you as Custodian for the account of the undersigned and are to be disposed of by you in accordance with this Custody Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Custody Agreement, the undersigned has executed and delivered an irrevocable power of attorney (“Power of Attorney”) to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx or their duly designated substitutes (individually, an “Attorney” and collectively, the “Attorneys”), authorizing the Attorneys, or any one of them, to sell from the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the stock certificates deposited with you hereunder, up to that number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this letter (including, if applicable, the sale of any such shares upon the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option contained in the Underwriting Agreement), or such lesser number as the Attorneys, or any one of them, may determine (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein), and for that purpose to enter into and perform an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, certain

A-11

stockholders of the Company, including the undersigned (the “Selling Stockholder”), and certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) represented by FBR, CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the “Representatives”).

In addition, the undersigned has completed and signed the attached Substitute Form W-9.

You are authorized and directed (a) to hold the certificates deposited with you hereunder in your custody and (b) on each closing date specified in the Underwriting Agreement at which the undersigned is selling any shares of Common Stock (each, a “Closing Date”) you shall take all necessary action (i) to cause the Common Stock to be transferred on the books of the Company into such names as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or FBR shall have instructed you and to exchange the certificates representing such Common Stock for new certificates for such Common Stock registered in such names and in such denominations as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or FBR shall have instructed you, and (ii) to deliver such new certificates to FBR for the account of the Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price for such Common Stock, and give receipt for such payment, (iii) pay such expenses, including transfer taxes, as you may be instructed to pay by the Attorneys, or any one of them, and, if instructed by an Attorney to do so, remit to the undersigned the balance, after deducting such expenses, of the amount received by you as payment for such Common Stock, and (iv) furnish to the undersigned a Form 1099, if required, on or before the next following January 31. With such remittance, you shall also deliver or cause to be delivered to the undersigned new certificates (which may bear appropriate legends) representing the number of shares of Common Stock deposited hereunder (if any), that are in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock sold (and to be sold at any subsequent Closing Date) by the undersigned to the Underwriters.

If the Underwriting Agreement shall not be entered into and the transactions contemplated thereby shall not be consummated prior to June 30, 2007 or the Underwriting Agreement shall terminate pursuant to its terms, then notwithstanding the terms of the third paragraph next below, upon the written request to you of the Attorneys, or any one of them, or the undersigned (accompanied in the latter case by written notice of termination of the Power of Attorney addressed to each of the Attorneys) on or promptly after that date, you are to return to the undersigned the certificates deposited with you hereunder.

Under the terms of the Power of Attorney, the authority conferred thereby is granted, made and conferred subject to and in consideration of the interests of the Underwriters and, except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, is irrevocable and not subject to termination by the undersigned or by operation of law, and the obligations of the undersigned under the Underwriting Agreement are similarly not subject to termination and shall remain in full force and effect until such date. Accordingly, the certificates deposited with you hereunder and this Custody Agreement and your authority hereunder are subject to the interests of the Underwriters, and this Custody Agreement and your authority hereunder are irrevocable and are not subject to termination, except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, by the undersigned or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if the undersigned is an individual), by the death or incapacity of any trustee or executor or the termination of any trust or estate (if the undersigned is a trust or an estate), or by the dissolution or liquidation of any

A-12

corporation or partnership (if the undersigned is a corporation or partnership) or the occurrence of any other event. If any event referred to in the preceding sentence should occur before the delivery of the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned under the Underwriting Agreement, certificates for such Common Stock shall, except as specifically provided in the Underwriting Agreement, be delivered by you on behalf of the undersigned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and this Custody Agreement, and action taken by you pursuant to this Custody Agreement shall be as valid as if such event had not occurred, whether or not you or the Attorneys, or any one of them, shall have received notice of such event.

Until payment of the purchase price (net of the underwriting discount to the Underwriter) for the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement has been made to you by or for the account of the Underwriters, the undersigned shall remain the owner of the Common Stock delivered to you hereunder and shall have the right to vote such Common Stock delivered to you hereunder and to receive any and all dividends and distributions thereon. As soon as practicable following payment to you of the purchase price for the Common Stock by the Underwriters, you shall distribute to the undersigned the proceeds of the sale net of any expenses to be withheld as contemplated hereby.

You shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or instruction respecting this Custody Agreement given to you by the Attorneys, or any one of them; provided, however, that you shall not be entitled to act on any statement or notice to you with respect to a Closing Date under the Underwriting Agreement, or with respect to the termination of the Underwriting Agreement, or advising that the Underwriting Agreement shall not have been executed and delivered, unless such statement or notice shall have been confirmed in writing to you by FBR.

It is understood that you assume no responsibility or liability to any person other than to deal with the certificates deposited with you hereunder, to deliver to the undersigned the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock represented thereby as contemplated hereby and in accordance with the Payment Instructions attached below, and to deliver to the undersigned a Form 1099, if required, all in accordance with the provisions of this Custody Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement. The undersigned agrees to indemnify you for and to hold you free from and harmless against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred by you, to the extent of the proceeds actually received by the undersigned from the sale of the shares by the undersigned to the Underwriters, arising out of or in connection with acting as Custodian hereunder, as well as the cost and expense of defending against any claim of liability hereunder, which is not due to your own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

This Custody Agreement constitutes a representation and warranty by the undersigned that (i) the undersigned has good and valid title to the Common Stock, and at each Closing Date will have good and valid title to the Common Stock to be sold on each such Closing Date pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned has, and at all times through each Closing Date will have, full right and power and all authorizations and approvals required by law to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement and upon the delivery of and payment for such Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters will receive good and valid title thereto, subject to any interests created by the several Underwriters, in each

A-13

case free and clear of any lien or encumbrance; and (ii) the undersigned has, and at all times through each Closing Date will have, full legal right and power and all authorizations and approvals required by law to enter into this Custody Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Underwriting Agreement and to carry out all the applicable terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and this Custody Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Underwriting Agreement are, and at all times through each Closing Date will be, valid and binding obligations of the undersigned.

The undersigned has carefully reviewed the representations, warranties, statements and agreements to be made by the undersigned as a Selling Stockholder under the Underwriting Agreement and does hereby represent, warrant and agree that, unless otherwise previously specified in writing to the Representatives and the Attorneys (a) such representations, warranties and statements, insofar as they relate to the undersigned, are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct at all times through each Closing Date and (b) such agreements (including those relating to indemnification of the Underwriters and  the Company under Section 9 of the Underwriting Agreement), insofar as they relate to the undersigned, have (where applicable) been complied with as of the date hereof and will be complied with on and after each such Closing Date. The undersigned will promptly notify the Attorneys and FBR in writing of any facts coming to the attention of the undersigned that would cause any such representations, warranties or statements not to be true or any such agreements not to be complied with.

The undersigned has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements, and those contained in the questionnaire completed by the undersigned and submitted to the Company and those contained in the Underwriting Agreement, are made for the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, the Attorneys, the Company, the Underwriters, the Custodian and the representatives, agents and counsel of each of the foregoing and the respective representatives, agents and counsel of each of the Selling Stockholders.

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned stockholder of Liquidity Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that it is contemplated that certain stockholders of the Company, including the undersigned (the “Selling Stockholders”), will sell Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company to certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) represented by Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (“FBR”), CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the “Representatives”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement referred to below, and that the Underwriters propose to offer and sell such Common Stock (the “Offering”) to the public. The undersigned also understands that, in connection with such offer and sale, the Company has filed a Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the shares to be sold in the Offering under the Securities Act of 1933.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Power of Attorney, the undersigned is also executing and delivering a Custody Agreement in substantially the form attached as Annex I (the “Custody Agreement”) pursuant to which certificates for shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing at least the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned as set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this instrument, are being deposited with Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc., as custodian (the “Custodian”).

(10)         In connection with the foregoing, the undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx as attorneys-in-fact (individually, an “Attorney” and collectively, the “Attorneys”) of the undersigned, each with full power and authority to act together or alone, including full power of substitution, in the name of and for and on behalf of the undersigned with respect to all matters arising in connection with the sale of Common Stock by the undersigned including, but not limited to, the power and authority to take any and all of the following actions:

(a)           to do all things necessary to sell to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement the Number of Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereof) and represented by the certificates deposited by or on behalf of the undersigned with the Custodian pursuant to the Custody Agreement at a purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters, as determined by negotiation among the Company, the Attorneys and the Representatives, but at the same price per share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Common Stock sold by it;

A-17

(b)           to give such orders and instructions to the Custodian and the transfer agent for the Common Stock as the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion shall determine, with respect to (i) the transfer of the Common Stock on the books of the Company in order to effect the sale to the Underwriters, including giving the name or names in which new certificates for such Common Stock are to be issued and the denominations thereof, (ii) the delivery to or for the account of the Underwriters of certificates for such Common Stock against receipt by the Custodian of the purchase price to be paid therefor, (iii) the payment by the Custodian out of the proceeds of such sale of any expenses that are to be borne by the undersigned in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Common Stock, (iv) the remittance to the undersigned of new certificates representing that number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that is in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock sold and to be sold at any subsequent Closing Date by the undersigned to the Underwriters;

(c)           to retain legal counsel in connection with any and all matters referred to herein (which counsel may, but need not, be counsel for the Company);

(d)           to execute and deliver any amendment to the Custody Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, or shall be deemed to, increase or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned above the Number of Shares as set forth on the signature page hereof or lengthen the period of irrevocability thereunder;

(e)           to agree to the allocation of the expenses of the offering among the Company and the Selling Stockholders, including the undersigned;

(f)            to endorse (in blank or otherwise) on behalf of the undersigned the certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned, or a stock power or powers attached to such certificate or certificates;

(g)           to make, acknowledge, verify and file on behalf of the undersigned applications, consents to service of process and such other documents, undertakings or reports as may be required by law with state commissioners or officers administering state securities laws, provided that the undersigned shall not be required to qualify as a foreign entity or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; and

(h)           to make, exchange, acknowledge and deliver all such other contracts, powers of attorney, orders, receipts, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, including communications to the Commission, and in general to do all things and to take all actions, that the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion may consider necessary or proper in connection with or to carry out the aforesaid sale of Common Stock to the Underwriters and the public offering thereof, as fully as could the undersigned if personally present and acting. The Attorneys will promptly provide the undersigned with copies of any amendments and new agreements executed on behalf of the undersigned.

A-18

(11)         This Power of Attorney and all authority conferred hereby are granted and conferred subject to the interests of the Underwriters and in consideration of those interests, and for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and this Power of Attorney. This Power of Attorney and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable (except as provided in the immediately following paragraph) and shall not be terminated by the undersigned or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if the undersigned is an individual), by the death or incapacity of any trustee or executor or the termination of any trust or estate (if the undersigned is a trust or an estate), or by the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation or partnership (if the undersigned is a corporation or partnership), or by the occurrence of any other event. If any event described in the preceding sentence shall occur before the delivery of the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned under the Underwriting Agreement, certificates for such Common Stock shall be delivered by or on behalf of the undersigned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement, and all other actions required to be taken under the Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement shall be taken, and action taken by the Attorneys, or any one of them, pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be as valid as if such event had not occurred, whether or not the Custodian, the Attorneys, or any one of them, shall have received notice of such event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement shall not be consummated by June 30, 2007 or shall terminate pursuant to the terms thereof, then from and after such date the undersigned shall have the power to revoke all authority hereby conferred by giving notice on or promptly after such date to each of the Attorneys, with a copy to the Custodian, that this Power of Attorney has been terminated; subject, however, to all lawful action done or performed by the Attorneys or any one of them, pursuant to this Power of Attorney prior to the actual receipt of such notice.

(12)         The undersigned ratifies all that the Attorneys, or any one of them, has done or shall do pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Power of Attorney.

(13)         The undersigned represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that this Power of Attorney and the Custody Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the undersigned and constitute valid and binding agreements of the undersigned in accordance with their respective terms.

(14)         The Attorneys shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or instruction respecting this Power of Attorney given to the Attorneys by the undersigned; provided, however, that the Attorneys shall not be entitled to act on any statement or notice to the Attorneys with respect to a Closing Date under the Underwriting Agreement, or with respect to the termination of the Underwriting Agreement, unless such statement or notice shall have been confirmed in writing to the Attorneys by XXX.

(00)         The undersigned agrees, if so requested, to provide such documentation as the Attorneys, the Company, the Representatives or any of their respective counsel may reasonably request to effectuate any of the provisions hereof or of the Underwriting Agreement, all of the foregoing to be in form and substance satisfactory in all respects to the party requesting such documentation.

A-19

(16)         The undersigned agrees to hold the Attorneys, jointly and severally, free and harmless from any and all loss, damage or liability that they, or either one of them, may sustain as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder. It is understood that the Attorneys shall serve without compensation.

(17)         In acting hereunder, the Attorneys may rely on the representations, warranties and agreements of the undersigned made in the Custody Agreement.

Attn: General Counsel

Dear Sirs:

There are delivered to you herewith one or more certificates, in negotiable and proper deliverable form (with the signature guaranteed by a bank, trust company, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, government securities dealer or broker, credit union, a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency, or a savings institution that is a participant in a Securities Transfer Association recognized program or by a Medallion Signature Guarantor or accompanied by a duly executed stock power or powers, in blank, in the form attached hereto bearing the signature of the undersigned so guaranteed), representing shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) of Liquidity Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) representing at least the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this agreement. The undersigned agrees to deliver to the Attorneys (as defined herein) or to you such additional documentation as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or the Company or Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (“FBR”) or you or any of their respective counsel may reasonably request to effectuate or confirm compliance with any of the provisions hereof, of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined herein), all of the foregoing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Attorneys (as defined below) and you. The certificates for the Common Stock are to be held by you as Custodian for the account of the undersigned and are to be disposed of by you in accordance with this Custody Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Custody Agreement, the undersigned has executed and delivered an irrevocable power of attorney (“Power of Attorney”) to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx or their duly designated substitutes (individually, an “Attorney” and collectively, the “Attorneys”), authorizing the Attorneys, or any one of them, to sell from the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the stock certificates deposited with you hereunder, up to that number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the signature of the undersigned at the end of this letter (including, if applicable, the sale of any such shares upon the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option contained in the Underwriting Agreement) and for that purpose to perform an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, certain stockholders of the Company, including the undersigned (the “Selling Stockholder”), and certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) represented by FBR, CIBC World Markets Corp. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the “Representatives”).

A-25

In addition, the undersigned has completed and signed the attached Substitute Form W-9.

You are authorized and directed (a) to hold the certificates deposited with you hereunder in your custody and (b) on each closing date specified in the Underwriting Agreement at which the undersigned is selling any shares of Common Stock (each, a “Closing Date”) you shall take all necessary action (i) to cause the Common Stock to be transferred on the books of the Company into such names as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or FBR shall have instructed you and to exchange the certificates representing such Common Stock for new certificates for such Common Stock registered in such names and in such denominations as the Attorneys, or any one of them, or FBR shall have instructed you, and (ii) to deliver such new certificates to FBR for the account of the Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price for such Common Stock, and give receipt for such payment, (iii) pay such expenses, including transfer taxes, as you may be instructed to pay by the Attorneys, or any one of them, and, if instructed by an Attorney to do so, remit to the undersigned the balance, after deducting such expenses, of the amount received by you as payment for such Common Stock, and (iv) furnish to the undersigned a Form 1099, if required, on or before the next following January 31. With such remittance, you shall also deliver or cause to be delivered to the undersigned new certificates (which may bear appropriate legends) representing the number of shares of Common Stock deposited hereunder (if any), that are in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock sold (and to be sold at any subsequent Closing Date) by the undersigned to the Underwriters.

If the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement shall not be consummated prior to June 30, 2007 or the Underwriting Agreement shall terminate pursuant to its terms, then notwithstanding the terms of the third paragraph next below, upon the written request to you of the Attorneys, or any one of them, or the undersigned (accompanied in the latter case by written notice of termination of the Power of Attorney addressed to each of the Attorneys) on or promptly after that date, you are to return to the undersigned the certificates deposited with you hereunder.

Under the terms of the Power of Attorney, the authority conferred thereby is granted, made and conferred subject to and in consideration of the interests of the Underwriters and, except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, is irrevocable and not subject to termination by the undersigned or by operation of law, and the obligations of the undersigned under the Underwriting Agreement are similarly not subject to termination and shall remain in full force and effect until such date. Accordingly, the certificates deposited with you hereunder and this Custody Agreement and your authority hereunder are subject to the interests of the Underwriters, and this Custody Agreement and your authority hereunder are irrevocable and are not subject to termination, except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, by the undersigned or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if the undersigned is an individual), by the death or incapacity of any trustee or executor or the termination of any trust or estate (if the undersigned is a trust or an estate), or by the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation or partnership (if the undersigned is a corporation or partnership) or the occurrence of any other event. If any event referred to in the preceding sentence should occur before the delivery of the Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned under the

A-26

Underwriting Agreement, certificates for such Common Stock shall, except as specifically provided in the Underwriting Agreement, be delivered by you on behalf of the undersigned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and this Custody Agreement, and action taken by you pursuant to this Custody Agreement shall be as valid as if such event had not occurred, whether or not you or the Attorneys, or any one of them, shall have received notice of such event.

Until payment of the purchase price (net of the underwriting discount to the Underwriter) for the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement has been made to you by or for the account of the Underwriters, the undersigned shall remain the owner of the Common Stock delivered to you hereunder and shall have the right to vote such Common Stock delivered to you hereunder and to receive any and all dividends and distributions thereon. As soon as practicable following payment to you of the purchase price for the Common Stock by the Underwriters, you shall distribute to the undersigned the proceeds of the sale net of any expenses to be withheld as contemplated hereby.

You shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or instruction respecting this Custody Agreement given to you by the Attorneys, or any one of them; provided, however, that you shall not be entitled to act on any statement or notice to you with respect to a Closing Date under the Underwriting Agreement, or with respect to the termination of the Underwriting Agreement, or advising that the Underwriting Agreement shall not have been executed and delivered, unless such statement or notice shall have been confirmed in writing to you by FBR.

It is understood that you assume no responsibility or liability to any person other than to deal with the certificates deposited with you hereunder, to deliver to the undersigned the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock represented thereby as contemplated hereby and in accordance with the Payment Instructions attached below, and to deliver to the undersigned a Form 1099, if required, all in accordance with the provisions of this Custody Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement. The undersigned agrees to indemnify you for and to hold you free from and harmless against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred by you, to the extent of the proceeds actually received by the undersigned from the sale of the shares by the undersigned to the Underwriters, arising out of or in connection with acting as Custodian hereunder, as well as the cost and expense of defending against any claim of liability hereunder, which is not due to your own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

This Custody Agreement constitutes a representation and warranty by the undersigned that (i) the undersigned has good and valid title to the Common Stock, and at each Closing Date will have good and valid title to the Common Stock to be sold on each such Closing Date pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned has, and at all times through each Closing Date will have, full right and power and all authorizations and approvals required by law to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement and upon the delivery of and payment for such Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters will receive good and valid title thereto, subject to any interests created by the several Underwriters, in each case free and clear of any lien or encumbrance; and (ii) the undersigned has, and at all times through each Closing Date will have, full legal right and power and all

A-27

authorizations and approvals required by law to enter into this Custody Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Underwriting Agreement and to carry out all the applicable terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and this Custody Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Underwriting Agreement are, and at all times through each Closing Date will be, valid and binding obligations of the undersigned.

The undersigned has carefully reviewed the representations, warranties, statements and agreements to be made by the undersigned as a Selling Stockholder under the Underwriting Agreement and does hereby represent, warrant and agree that, unless otherwise previously specified in writing to the Representatives and the Attorneys (a) such representations, warranties and statements, insofar as they relate to the undersigned, are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct at all times through each Closing Date and (b) such agreements (including those relating to indemnification of the Underwriters and the Company under Section 9 of the Underwriting Agreement), insofar as they relate to the undersigned, have (where applicable) been complied with as of the date hereof and will be complied with on and after each such Closing Date. The undersigned will promptly notify the Attorneys and FBR in writing of any facts coming to the attention of the undersigned that would cause any such representations, warranties or statements not to be true or any such agreements not to be complied with.

The undersigned has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements, and those contained in the questionnaire completed by the undersigned and submitted to the Company and those contained in the Underwriting Agreement, are made for the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, the Attorneys, the Company, the Underwriters, the Custodian and the representatives, agents and counsel of each of the foregoing and the respective representatives, agents and counsel of each of the Selling Stockholders.

Any notices hereunder shall be delivered in writing:

Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply. Penalties (1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number.—If you fail to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. (2) Civil Penalty for False Statements with Respect to Withholding.—If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500. (3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information.—Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

RE:  Liquidity Services, Inc. (the “Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of record or beneficially of certain shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock.  The Company proposes to carry out a public offering of Common Stock (the “Offering”) for which you will act as the representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters.  The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the Company by, among other things, raising additional capital to use for working capital and general corporate purposes.  The undersigned acknowledges that you and the other underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter in carrying out the Offering and in entering into underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to (each being, a “Disposition”) any shares of Common Stock, any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Securities”) now owned directly by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has the power of Disposition, otherwise than (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts (including, but not limited to, gifts to immediate family members), provided the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by this restriction, (ii) to any transfer to a trust formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the transferor or an immediate family member of the transferor, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees in writing to be bound by this restriction and so long as the transfer does not involve a Disposition for value, (iii) as a distribution to partners or shareholders of the undersigned, provided that the distributees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this restriction, (iv) if the undersigned is a corporation, to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation, provided that the transferee subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by this restriction and so long as the transfer does not involve a Disposition for value, (v) with respect to sales or purchases of Common Stock acquired on the open market after the date of the Offering, (vi) the sale of up to              shares of Common Stock during any thirty (30) day period pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan in effect as of the date hereof, (vii) in connection

with the Offering or (viii) with the prior written consent of the Representatives.  Any Securities received directly from the Company, whether in the form of restricted stock, upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned or otherwise, will also be subject to this restriction.  The foregoing restrictions will terminate after the close of trading of the Common Stock on the 90th day after the date of the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”).

The foregoing restriction has been expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of Securities during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any Securities or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that included, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from Securities.  The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of shares of Common Stock or Securities held by the undersigned except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

This agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns of the undersigned.  In the event the Offering has not occurred on or before June 30, 2007, this agreement shall be of no further force or effect.
