NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

ScanSource , Inc. is a leading international wholesale distributor of specialty technology products. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") provide value-added distribution services for technology manufacturers and sell to resellers in the following specialty technology markets: POS Barcode and Security through its Worldwide Barcode & Security segment and Communications through its Worldwide Communications & Services segment.

The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe and uses centralized distribution centers for major geographic regions. The Company distributes to the United States and Canada from its Southaven, Mississippi distribution center; to Latin America principally from distribution centers located in Florida, Mexico and Brazil; and to Europe from its distribution center in Belgium.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ScanSource, Inc. have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , the results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 . The results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 .

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Such reclassifications have no effect on the cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as previously reported.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 from the information included in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 . For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 .
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from June 30 to April 30. This voluntary change is considered preferable as it better aligns the timing of the impairment test with management’s financial planning and budgeting process, and ensures the completion of the test prior to the end of the annual reporting period. This change does not accelerate, delay or avoid a potential impairment charge. The Company will complete its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains some zero-balance, disbursement accounts at various financial institutions in which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the nature of the Company’s banking relationships with these institutions, the Company does not have the right to offset most if not all outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand, and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. Checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $53.2 million and $65.9 million are included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are currently no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(2) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.

These amounts relate primarily to acquired intangible assets including customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and distributor agreements.

(5) Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

Short-Term Borrowings

A subsidiary of the Company has a €6.0 million line of credit, which is secured by the assets of our European operations and is guaranteed by ScanSource, Inc. This agreement can be withdrawn by the lender with minimal notice. The subsidiary line of credit bears interest at the 30-day Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus a spread ranging from 1.25%  to 2.00% per annum. The spread in effect for the period ended March 31, 2014 was 1.25% . Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.275% on non-utilized borrowing availability if outstanding balances are below €3.0 million . The interest rate spread and commitment fee rates are based on the Company's Leverage Ratio for its revolving credit facility, as defined below. There were no outstanding balances at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 .

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a $300 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2016 . On November 6, 2013 , the Company entered into an amendment of this credit facility ("Amended Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks to extend its maturity to November 6, 2018 . The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $150 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $450 million , subject to obtaining additional credit commitments for the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.5 million in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, which were capitalized to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). The Leverage Ratio calculation excludes the Company's subsidiary in Brazil. This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.25% for alternate base rate loans. The spread in effect for the period ended March 31, 2014 was 1.00% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.40% , depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. Borrowings are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company as well as certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be material under the Amended Credit Agreement and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in each Guarantor as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of March 31, 2014 . There were no outstanding balances at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 .

The average daily balance during the nine month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.0 million and $12.5 million , respectively.

Long-Term Debt


10


On August 1, 2007 , the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.85% . The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within 180 days of each fifth anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at 100% of the principal amount outstanding. As of March 31, 2014 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The balance on the bond was $5.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and is included in long-term debt. The interest rate at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was 1.01% and 1.04% , respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs

As of March 31, 2014 , net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bonds totaled $1.4 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.

(6) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These risks and the management of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with US GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts will periodically hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Brazilian real. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company had contracts outstanding with notional amounts of $62.5 million and $81.3 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the British pound versus the euro, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

(7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which groups fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s various debt instruments, deferred compensation plan investments, outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Brasil Distribuidora de Tecnologias Especiais LTDA ("CDC" or "ScanSource Brasil"). The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are indexed to LIBOR or the alternate base rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria).

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated or active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distributions to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.

Foreign currency forward contracts are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers (Level 2). See Note 6 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities . Foreign currency contracts are classified in the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities, depending on the respective contracts' favorable or unfavorable positions.

The Company recorded a contingent consideration liability at the acquisition date of CDC representing the amounts payable to former CDC shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, based upon the achievement of projected earnings, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The current and non-current portions of this obligation are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of contingent consideration (Level 3) is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 3 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income .

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration (Level 3) for the CDC earnout for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 :

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration recognized at March 31, 2014 was $10.7 million of which $5.7 million is classified as current. The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in connection with future earnout payments are subject to change as the liability is denominated in Brazilian reais and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The Company will revalue the contingent consideration liability at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company’s creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the Brazilian market.

A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed losses of $1.0 million and $2.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The change this quarter and year to date is largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and better than expected operating results. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $13.2 million , based on the Company’s best estimate as the earnout is based on a multiple of adjusted earnings.

(8) Segment Information

The Company is a leading distributor of specialty technology products, providing value-added distribution sales to resellers in specialty technology markets. The Company has two reportable segments, based on product and service type.

Historically, the Company's reporting units coincided with its geographic operating segments of North America and International. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reorganized its management structure and reporting segments to globally leverage the Company's leadership in specific technology markets, changing from a geographic to a technology focus. As part of this new structure, the Company formed two operating segments with a global technology focus: Worldwide Barcode & Security ("Barcode/Security") and Worldwide Communications & Services ("Communications/Services"). Each operating segment is managed around its global technology focus and is supported by its centralized infrastructure, including distribution centers and back office operations. Each operating segment has its own management team led by a president and includes regional presidents within the operating group who manage the various functions within each segment. Decisions and planning for the Company as a whole are made at the corporate level by analyzing results from the operating segments. The principal measure of segment performance is considered to be operating income. These technology business segments replace the geographic segments previously used, and the Company has retrospectively reclassified the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the new presentation.

Worldwide Barcode & Security Segment

The Barcode/Security distribution segment focuses on automatic identification and data capture ("AIDC"), point-of-sale ("POS"), and electronic physical security technologies. We have business units within this segment for sales and merchandising functions, including ScanSource POS and Barcode business units in North America, Latin America, and Europe and the ScanSource Security business unit in North America. We see adjacencies among these technologies in helping our resellers develop solutions, such as with networking products. AIDC and POS products interface with computer systems used to automate the collection, processing and communication of information for commercial and industrial applications, including retail sales, distribution, shipping, inventory control, materials handling, warehouse management and health care applications. Electronic physical security products include identification, access control, video surveillance, intrusion-related and wireless infrastructure products.

Worldwide Communications & Services Segment

The Communications/Services distribution segment focuses on communications technologies and services. We have business units within this segment for sales and merchandising functions, including the ScanSource Catalyst business unit in North America, ScanSource Communications business units in North America and Europe, and the ScanSource Services Group business unit in North America. ScanSource Catalyst and ScanSource Communications business units market voice, video conferencing, data networking and converged communications solutions. The ScanSource Services Group business unit delivers value-added support programs and services, including education and training, network assessments, custom configuration, implementation and marketing.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the Company's due diligence for the CDC acquisition, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. The Company is able to record indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as they were escrowed in the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, indemnity claims can be made up to the entire purchase price, which includes the initial payment and all future earnout payments. The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of these pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

2,905


Changes in these contingent liabilities and receivables from June 30, 2013 , are primarily driven by foreign currency translation and the lapse of the statute of limitations on a portion of the contingencies.

(10) Income Taxes
The Company had approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 . Of this total at March 31, 2014 , approximately $0.7 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries and states in which it operates. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before June 30, 2009 .

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2014 , the Company had approximately $0.9 million accrued for interest and penalties.

Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax provision. As a result of a change in our effective state tax rate, an adjustment to deferred tax assets was accounted for discretely, resulting in a net tax benefit of $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, $0.1 million of tax expense was recognized discretely as the result of an increase in unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of income derived from tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates and state income taxes.

The Company has provided for U.S. income taxes for the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary.  Earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. 
Financial results in prior quarters have generated pre-tax losses in Europe, which were primarily the result of our European Communications business, and could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. Year to date, the European business has

17


fluctuated, generating a pre-tax profit in the first and third quarters, resulting in a pre-tax profit for all combined European operating segments. In the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

ScanSource, Inc. is a leading international wholesale distributor of specialty technology products. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") provide value-added distribution services for approximately 250 technology manufacturers and sell to approximately 28,000 resellers in the following specialty technology markets: POS and Barcode, Security and Communications.

The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe and uses centralized distribution centers for major geographic regions. The Company distributes to the United States and Canada from its Southaven, Mississippi distribution center; to Latin America principally from distribution centers located in Florida, Mexico and Brazil; and to Europe principally from its distribution center in Belgium.

The Company distributes products for many of its key vendors in all of its geographic markets; however certain vendors only allow distribution to specific geographies. The Company's key vendors in barcode technologies include Bematech, Cisco, Datalogic, Datamax-O'Neil, Elo, Epson, Honeywell, Intermec by Honeywell, Motorola, NCR, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions and Zebra Technologies. The Company's key vendors for security technologies include Arecont, Axis, Bosch, Cisco, Datacard, Exacq Technologies, Fargo, HID, March Networks, Panasonic, Ruckus Wireless, Samsung, Sony and Zebra Card. The Company's key vendors in communications technologies include Aruba, Avaya, AudioCodes, Cisco, Dialogic, Extreme Networks, Meru Networks, Plantronics, Polycom, Shoretel and Sonus.

In April 2014, it was announced that Zebra Technologies intends to purchase much of Motorola Solutions' enterprise business. Zebra Technologies and Motorola Solutions represent key vendors in our barcode technologies business.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we announced a new management structure to enhance our worldwide technology markets focus and growth strategy. This strategy focuses on our pos and barcode, security and communication technologies. Our worldwide management structure created new leadership roles and reporting segments to globally leverage the Company's leadership in specific technology markets. As a part of this new structure, ScanSource has created two technology segments, each with its own president. The two segments are Worldwide Barcode & Security, which includes ScanSource POS and Barcode and ScanSource Security business units, and Worldwide Communications & Services, which encompasses ScanSource Catalyst, ScanSource Communications and ScanSource Services Group business units. The new reporting segments of Worldwide Barcode & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services replace the geographic segments of North America and International and give us the ability to leverage our size and experience to deliver more value to our vendor and reseller partners in our existing markets.

Our objective is to continue to grow profitable sales in the technologies we distribute with emphasis on growth in security and communication technologies. We continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions to enhance our technological and geographic portfolios, as well as introduce new product lines to our line card. In doing so, we face numerous challenges that require attention and resources. Certain business units and geographies continue to experience increased competition for the products we distribute. This competition may come in the form of pricing, credit terms, service levels, product availability and changes from a closed distribution sales model, in which resellers must purchase exclusively from one distributor, to an open distribution sales model, in which resellers may choose to purchase from multiple distributors. As this competition could affect both our market share and pricing of our products, we may change our strategy in order to effectively compete in the marketplace.

As compared to prior year, our Latin America subsidiary has been experiencing a significant drop in revenue in Venezuela due to increased country-specific risks. In Venezuela, the Company's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, our Venezuelan resellers are having difficulties getting U.S. dollars to pay us since the government controls the available U.S. dollars within the country. Hence, we have heightened risk of collectability in this country. At March 31, 2014 , the Company held $1.9 million in accounts receivable with 100% reserves specific to accounts receivable in Venezuela.

In December 2013, the Company retained SAP for software platform and implementation consulting services for a new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system. Development of our new ERP system began in January of 2014.

Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include return on invested capital ("ROIC") and "constant currency," a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates

19

Table of Contents

between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Return on Invested Capital

Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under the Company's control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances the Company's operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and is considered to have a strong correlation with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of the Company's profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating business and management performance. Certain management incentive compensation targets are set and measured relative to ROIC.
 
We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized return on invested capital ratio for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively:

Currency

We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the weighted average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar using the comparable weighted average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. This information is provided to view financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby enhancing comparability between reporting periods.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

The Barcode & Security distribution segment consists of sales to technology resellers in our ScanSource POS & Barcode business units in North America, Europe, Brazil and Latin America and our ScanSource Security business unit in North America. Sales for the Barcode & Security distribution segment increased $17.6 million and decreased $0.8 million , compared to the prior year quarter and prior year nine month period, respectively. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Barcode & Security distribution segment increased $21.2 million and $1.9 million, which represents a 4.8% and 0.1% increase, compared to the prior year quarter and prior year nine month period, respectively. The increase in Barcode & Security sales for the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to growth in most international POS & Barcode business units, driven by Brazil and Europe, and in the North America Security business unit. Barcode & Security sales remained relatively flat for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year nine month period resulting from growth in business for Brazil POS & Barcode and North America Security, offset by declines in business for North and Latin America POS & Barcode.

Worldwide Communications & Services
The Communications & Services distribution segment consists of sales to technology resellers in our ScanSource Communications business units in North America and Europe, ScanSource Catalyst in North America, and ScanSource Services Group. Sales for the Communications & Services segment decreased $17.6 million and $8.0 million compared to the prior year quarter and prior year nine month period, respectively. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Communications & Services distribution segment decreased $18.1 million and $10.2 million, which represents a 7.4% and 1.3% decrease, compared to the prior year quarter and prior year nine month period, respectively. Sales for the Europe Communications and Catalysts business units declined year-over-year, primarily due to decreases in run rate business for the Catalyst business unit and competitive pressures for Europe Communications.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The $1.2 million decrease in SG&A expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to lower bad debt expense, partially offset by increased employee-related expenses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013 SG&A expenses included approximately $1.2 million in expenses for restructuring costs associated with our Communications business in Europe.

The decrease in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to lower bad debt expense and lower amortization expense for fully-amortized intangible assets, partially offset by increased employee-related expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013 , SG&A expenses included approximately $3.3 million in expenses related to tax compliance and restructuring costs in Europe.

We present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to the former shareholders of CDC as a separate line item in operating expenses. In the current quarter and nine month period, we have recorded fair value adjustment losses of $1.0 million and $2.2 million , respectively. These losses are primarily the result of the improved operating results for Brazil and recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount.

Interest expense reflects interest incurred on long-term debt, non-utilization fees from the Company's revolving credit facility and the amortization of debt issuance costs in the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 .

Interest income for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.5 million and $1.6 million , respectively, and includes interest income generated on longer-term interest bearing receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

Net foreign exchange losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated from fluctuations in the value of the British pound versus the euro, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , income tax expense was $9.0 million and $27.5 million , respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 34.8% and 33.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2013 was 34%. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior year quarter is the result of an increase in our annual effective state tax rate, an increase in non-deductible expenses, and the recognition of a $0.1 million discrete tax expense item for the current quarter. As a result of a change in our effective state tax rate, an adjustment to deferred tax assets was accounted for discretely, resulting in a net tax benefit of $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, which contributed to the decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year nine month period. Excluding the recognition of the discrete item, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 would have been 34.2%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under the $300 million revolving credit facility, $5.4 million industrial revenue bond and €6 million line of credit for our European subsidiary. As a distribution company, our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors and revolving lines of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital typically increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $183.6 million at March 31, 2014 , compared to $148.2 million at June 30, 2013 , including $38.2 million and $23.8 million held outside of the United States at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , respectively. Checks released but not yet cleared in the amounts of $53.2 million and $65.9 million are included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , respectively.

We conduct business in many locations throughout the world where we generate and use cash. The Company provides for U.S. income taxes for the earnings of its Canadian subsidiary.  Earnings from all other geographies are considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. If these funds were needed in the operations of the United States, we would be required to record and pay significant income taxes upon repatriation of these funds.
 
Our net investment in working capital has increased to $694.5 million at March 31, 2014 from $614.4 million at June 30, 2013 and increased compared to the March 31, 2013 balance of $587.9 million . Net working capital has increased $80.1 million since June 30, 2013 , principally from higher inventory and cash balances, partially offset by lower accounts receivable and higher accounts payable. Our net investment in working capital is affected by several factors such as fluctuations in sales volume, net income, timing of collections from customers, increases and decreases to inventory levels, payments to vendors, as well as cash generated or used by other financing and investing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 , compared to $76.0 million provided by operating activities in the prior year period. The decrease is largely attributable to increases in inventory balances, partially offset by higher accounts payable balances.

The number of days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 55 days at March 31, 2014 , June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 . Inventory turned 5.1 times during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 versus 5.9 and 5.4 times in the sequential and prior year quarters, respectively. The decrease in inventory turns in relation to comparative periods is primarily due to higher inventory levels from lower than expected sales for the quarter.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $6.8 million for capital expenditures, compared to $4.5 million used in the prior year period. Current year capital expenditures were attributable to the Company's new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system implementation, while prior year investing cash flows were primarily attributable to investments that were subsequently impaired.

In December 2013, we retained SAP for the software platform and implementation consulting services for a new ERP system. The Company is currently working on the development and implementation of the new ERP platform. Management expects capital spending for fiscal 2014 to range from $11 million to $14 million, primarily related to the ERP system.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 , cash provided by financing activities totaled to $8.9 million , compared to $6.8 million cash used in financing activities in the prior year period. The change in cash provided by financing activities was primarily from increased exercises of stock options and no activity related to our short-term borrowings.

The Company has a $300 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2016 . On November 6, 2013 , the Company entered into an amendment of this credit facility ("Amended Credit Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks to extend its maturity to November 6, 2018 . The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $150 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $450 million , subject to obtaining additional credit commitments for the lenders participating in the increase.

At our option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities) to EBITDA, measured as of the end of the most recent year

Table of Contents

or quarter, as applicable, for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.25% for alternate base rate loans. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company as well as certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be material under the Amended Credit Agreement and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in each Guarantor (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of March 31, 2014 .

There were no outstanding borrowings on our $300 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 .

On a gross basis, we made zero borrowings and repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . In the prior year-to-date period, we borrowed $515.3 million and repaid $515.9 million . The average daily balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.0 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. There were no standby letters of credits issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014 on the revolving credit facility, leaving $300 million available for additional borrowings.

In addition to our multi-currency $300 million revolving credit facility, we have a €6.0 million subsidiary line of credit for our European operations which bears interest at the 30-day Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus a spread ranging from 1.25%  to 2.00% per annum. There were no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 . This facility is secured by the assets of our European operations and is guaranteed by ScanSource, Inc.

On April 15, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScanSource do Brasil Participações LTDA, completed its acquisition of all of the shares of CDC, pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 7, 2011. The purchase price was paid with an initial payment of $36.2 million, net of cash acquired, assumption of working capital payables and debt, and variable annual payments through October 2015 based on CDC's annual financial results. The Company has made its first three payments to the former shareholders. As of March 31, 2014 , we have $10.7 million recorded for the continuing earnout obligation, of which $5.7 million is classified as current. Future earnout payments will be funded by cash on hand and our existing revolving credit facility.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under our credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet the present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of August 26, 2013.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued

There are currently no new accounting standards issued that are expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those that are important to our financial condition and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Different amounts would be reported under different operating conditions or under alternative assumptions. We have evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related notes and believe those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 for a complete listing of our significant accounting policies.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment at a reporting unit level.  Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment on an interim basis if at any time facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. 

During the current quarter, the Company changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from June 30 to April 30. This voluntary change is considered preferable as it better aligns the timing of the impairment test with management’s financial planning and budgeting process, and ensures the completion of the test prior to the end of the annual reporting period. This change does not accelerate, delay or avoid a potential impairment charge.

As discussed in Item 7 of the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K under Critical Accounting Policies, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test for the European POS & Barcode and ScanSource Latin America reporting units as of June 30, 2013 and found that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values by 7.2% and 9.7%, respectively. In addition, we recorded an impairment of a portion of the goodwill balance for our ScanSource Brasil reporting unit, and we fully impaired the goodwill associated with our European Communications reporting unit.

We monitor results of these reporting units on a quarterly basis, as not meeting estimated expectations or changes to the projected future results of their operations could result in a future impairment of goodwill for these reporting entities. Based on current projected future results, we do not believe there is a more likely than not expectation that a goodwill impairment exists. The goodwill associated with the ScanSource Brasil, European POS & Barcode and ScanSource Latin America goodwill testing units as of March 31, 2014 is $3.1 million, $4.9 million and $4.0 million respectively.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business is a result of its selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with its foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company’s business operations. The nature and amount of the Company’s debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility, variable rate long-term debt and subsidiary line of credit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 would have resulted in less than a $0.1 million increase or decrease, respectively, in pre-tax income for the period.

The Company evaluates its interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with the Company's variable rate long-term debt. At March 31, 2014 , the Company had $5.4 million in variable rate long-term debt outstanding with no interest rate swaps in place. If used, derivative instruments have the potential to expose the Company to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) the Company’s hedging activities not being as effective as

anticipated in reducing the volatility of the Company’s cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective, or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. The Company seeks to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control, and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from its foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil and Europe. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by balance sheet netting of exposures, as well as the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge these exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results in the future.

The Company’s senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. The Company’s policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company monitors its risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against its functional currencies and enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. The Company continually evaluates foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with its policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. The Company's foreign currencies are primarily British pounds, euros, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais and Canadian dollars. At March 31, 2014 , the fair value of the Company’s currency forward contracts outstanding was a net payable of less than $0.1 million. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Principal Accounting Officer ("PAO") of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014 . Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO, CFO and PAO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2014 . During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
As previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, and in our Quarterly Reports or Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, on January 2, 2013, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Partner Services, Inc. ("PSI"), we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Georgia against our former ERP software systems integration partner, Avanade, Inc. ("Avanade"). On September 9, 2013 PSI filed an amended lawsuit against Avanade alleging breach of contract on the part of Avanade in connection with its performance on the ERP project. PSI is seeking recovery of damages that it incurred and believes that it will continue to incur, as a result of Avanade's alleged breach. On September 30, 2013, Avanade filed a response to PSI’s claims and asserted claims of its own against PSI regarding payments that PSI allegedly owes Avanade. The parties have been engaged in a discovery process of exchanging documents in their possession that are relevant to the matter. This process was expected to be completed on April 30, 2014. However, the parties recently agreed to a stipulated stay of the litigation, which has been approved by the court, so that the parties can explore the potential for a litigation settlement.


Item 1A.
Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors discussed in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended June 30, 2013 , which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Item 5.
Other Information

On May 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective immediately. The Amended and Restated Bylaws were generally revised to update and simplify the Company’s bylaws and included provisions, that, among other things: (1) provide for electronic notice of shareholder meetings,  electronic submission of proxy appointments, and “householding”; (2) provide the Board the flexibility to set a record date at the maximum period permitted by South Carolina law (up to 70 days from  the date of the relevant action); (3) eliminate the requirement that there be an odd number of inspectors of election; (4) change the bylaw requiring advance notice of shareholder action and nomination of directors to set the period at which notice is required to be delivered 90-120 days before the anniversary of the preceding annual meeting and to require additional information to be provided in such notice; (5) eliminate the provision addressing the removal of directors by directors ; (6) simplified some of the mechanics concerning board action and meetings ; (7) provide that the Chairman of the Board need not be an officer of the Corporation; (8) remove the provision concerning the requirements and procedure for voting shares in other entities owned by the Corporation; (9) remove the provisions concerning the form in which corporate records shall be kept; and (10) make other changes to the bylaws to conform the bylaws to the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended. 

The foregoing description of the amendments made in the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE II
SHAREHOLDERS
Section 2.01. Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders shall be held once each calendar year for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. No matters other than those proposed by the Board of Directors may be brought before the annual meeting by any shareholder unless written notice of such other matters, together with an adequate description thereof, shall have been provided to the corporation in compliance with Section 2.13. The annual meeting shall be held at the time and place designated by the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors from time to time.
Section 2.02. Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Corporation’s shareholders may be called for any one or more lawful purposes by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board, or a majority of the Directors.

Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held at a time and location as reflected in the notice of the meeting provided for hereinafter.
Section 2.03. Notice of Meetings.  Written or electronic notice of all meetings of shareholders shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the meeting date, either personally, by mail, or by any other method permitted under the Act, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors, to all shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited with postage thereon prepaid in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears on the Corporation’s records. Such notice shall state the date, time, and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting was called. Electronic notice may be communicated to a shareholder by email or any other form of wire or wireless communication permitted by the Act. In addition, so long as the Corporation is a public corporation (as defined in the Act), a notice to a shareholder which accompanies a proxy statement or information statement is effective when it is addressed and mailed or transmitted in any manner which satisfies the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring delivery of a proxy statement including, without limitation, rules regarding delivery to shareholders sharing an address and implied consent to such delivery. Any previously scheduled meeting of the shareholders may be postponed, and any special meeting of the shareholders may be canceled, by resolution of the Board of Directors, upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.04. Quorum.  Except as may otherwise be required by the Act or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, at any meeting of shareholders the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business properly before the meeting. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group on a matter may take action at a meeting on such matter only if a quorum of the shares in the separate voting group are present in person or by proxy at the meeting. Except as may otherwise be required by law or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, at any meeting of shareholders the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares in a separate voting group entitled to vote thereat as a separate voting group, if any, shall constitute a quorum of such separate voting group for purposes of such matter. In the absence of a quorum a meeting may be adjourned from time to time, in accordance with the provisions concerning adjournments contained elsewhere in these Bylaws, by the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. At such adjourned meeting a quorum of shareholders may transact such business as might have been properly transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2.05. Transaction of Business.  Business transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders may include all such business as may properly come before the meeting. Business transacted at a special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.
Section 2.06. Shareholders of Record.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or entitled to receive dividends or other distributions, or in connection with any other proper purpose requiring a determination of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall by resolution fix a record date for such determination. The date shall be not more than seventy and not less than ten days prior to the date on which the activity requiring the determination is to occur. The shareholders of record appearing in the Corporation’s records at the close of business on the record date so fixed shall constitute the shareholders of right in respect of the activity in question. In the absence of action by the Board of Directors to fix a record date, the record date shall be ten days prior to the date on which the activity requiring a determination of shareholders is to occur. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting to a date not later than one hundred twenty days after the date fixed for the original meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may in its discretion fix a new record date for any adjourned meeting and shall fix a new record date for any meeting adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty days after the date of the original meeting.
Section 2.07. Voting.  Except as may otherwise be required by the Act or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such shareholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. In elections of Directors, those candidates receiving the greater number of votes cast (although not necessarily a majority of votes cast) at the meeting shall be elected. Any other corporate action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting unless otherwise provided by the Act, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.
Section 2.08 Voting Inspectors.  For each meeting of shareholders one or more persons shall be appointed to serve as voting inspectors by the Board of Directors. The voting inspectors may include one or more representatives of the Corporation’s Transfer Agent. The voting inspectors shall by majority decision resolve all disputes which may arise concerning the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies, the existence of a quorum, the voting power of shares, and the acceptance, rejection, and tabulation of votes. Each voting inspector shall take an oath to execute his or her duties impartially and to the best of his or her ability. Such oath shall be administered by the presiding officer to each voting inspector following the call to order and before a voting inspector enters upon the discharge of his or her duties.
Section 2.09. Adjournments.  The chairman of the meeting may adjourn a meeting from time to time to a date, time, and place fixed by the chairman of the meeting and announced at the original meeting prior to adjournment. If a new record date is set pursuant to Section 2.06 following an adjournment a notice of the adjourned meeting will be sent to the shareholders of record as of that date. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 2.10. Action Without Meeting . Holders of record of voting shares may take action without meeting by written consent as to such matters and in accordance with such requirements and procedures as may be permitted by the Act.
Section 2.11. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or other person authorized to tabulate votes before or at the time of the meeting. A proxy must be filed (a) in writing executed by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in fact, (b) by a telegram or cablegram appearing to have been transmitted by the shareholder, or (c) by an electronic transmission of appointment; provided, however that the Board of Directors may also establish procedures by which shareholders can file proxies with the Secretary by telecopier facsimile or electronic transmission and that any electronic transmission must contain or be accompanied by sufficient information to determine that the transmission appointing the proxy is authorized. No proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution unless it qualifies as an irrevocable proxy under the Act or the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary.
Section 2.12. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.  Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted, either in person or by proxy, by the officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of that corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of that corporation may determine.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by such trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by such trustee without a transfer of the shares into such trustee’s name as trustee.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted, either in person or by proxy, by the receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted, either in person or by proxy, by the receiver without the transfer thereof into such receiver’s name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote, either in person or by proxy, the shares so transferred.
Section 2.13. Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominees for Director and Other Shareholder Proposals.
(a)    The matters to be considered and brought before any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall be limited to only such matters, including the nomination and election of directors, as shall be brought properly before such meeting in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13.
(b)    For any matter to be brought properly before any annual meeting of shareholders, the matter must be (i) specified in the notice of the annual meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation on the date the notice provided for in this Section 2.13 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13.  In addition to any other requirements under applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Corporation, written notice (the “Shareholder Notice”) of any nomination or other proposal must be timely and any proposal, other than a nomination, must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action.  To be timely, the Shareholder Notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year; provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before such anniversary date and ends within 60  days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting Date”), the Shareholder Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on (i) the date 90 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or (ii) the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed.  A Shareholder Notice must contain the following information: (i) whether the shareholder is providing the notice at the request of a beneficial holder of shares, whether the shareholder, any such beneficial holder or any nominee has any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from, any other person with respect to the investment by the shareholder or such beneficial holder in the Corporation or the matter the Shareholder Notice relates to, and the details thereof, including the name of such other person (the shareholder, any beneficial holder on whose behalf the notice is being delivered, any nominees listed in the notice and any persons with whom such agreement, arrangement or understanding exists or from whom such assistance has been obtained are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Interested Persons”), (ii) the name and address of all Interested Persons, (iii) a complete listing of the record and beneficial ownership positions (including number or amount) of all equity securities and debt instruments, whether held in the form of loans or capital market instruments, of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries held by all Interested Persons, (iv) whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction is in place or has been entered into within the prior six months preceding the date of delivery of the Shareholder Notice by or for the benefit of any Interested Person with respect to the Corporation or its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities, debt instruments or credit ratings, the effect or intent of which transaction is to give rise to gain or loss as a result of changes in the trading price of such securities or debt instruments or changes in the credit ratings for the Corporation, its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities or debt instruments (or, more generally, changes in the perceived creditworthiness of the Corporation or its subsidiaries), or to increase or decrease the voting power of such Interested Person, and if so, a summary of the material terms thereof, and (v) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation that would be entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose the matter set forth in the Shareholder Notice.  As used herein, “beneficially owned” has the meaning provided in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Shareholder Notice shall be updated not later than 10 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of the record date.  Any Shareholder Notice relating to the nomination of directors must also contain (i) the information regarding each nominee required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation), (ii) each nominee’s signed consent to serve as a director of the Corporation if elected, and (iii) whether each nominee is eligible for consideration as an independent director under the relevant standards contemplated by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K (or the corresponding provisions of any successor regulation).  The Corporation may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information, including completion of the Corporation’s directors questionnaire, as it may reasonably require to determine whether the nominee would be considered “independent” as a director or as a member of the audit committee of the Board of Directors under the various rules and standards applicable to the Corporation.  Any Shareholder Notice with respect to a matter other than the nomination of directors must contain (i) the text of the proposal to be presented, including the text of any resolutions to be proposed for consideration by shareholders and (ii) a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.13(b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and either all of the nominees for director or the size of the increased Board of Directors is not publicly announced or disclosed by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Shareholder Notice shall also be considered timely hereunder, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the first date all of such nominees or the size of the increased Board of Directors shall have been publicly announced or disclosed.
(c)    For any matter to be brought properly before a special meeting of shareholders, the matter must be set forth in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.  In the event that the Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more persons to the Board of Directors, any shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, if the Shareholder Notice required by Section 2.13(b) hereof shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting is publicly announced or disclosed.
(d)    For purposes of this Section 2.13, a matter shall be deemed to have been “publicly announced or disclosed” if such matter is disclosed in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(e)    Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13 shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation.  In no event shall the postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting already publicly noticed, or any announcement of such postponement or adjournment, commence a new period (or extend any time period) for the giving of notice as provided in this Section 2.13. This Section 2.13 shall not apply to (i) shareholders proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) the election of directors selected by or pursuant to the provisions of Article 3(b) of the Articles of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances.
(f)    The person presiding at any meeting of shareholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power and duty to determine whether notice of nominees and other matters proposed to be brought before a meeting has been duly given in the manner provided in this Section 2.13 and, if not so given, shall direct and declare at the meeting that such nominees and other matters are not properly before the meeting and shall not be considered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, if the shareholder or a qualified representative of the shareholder does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to present any such nomination, or make any such proposal, such nomination or proposal shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

In the absence of all such officers, the meeting shall be chaired by an officer of the Corporation chosen by the vote of a majority in interest of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat. The Secretary or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries a person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep a record of the proceedings thereof.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of shareholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to shareholders of record of the Corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comment by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot.

Section 3.02. Number.  The number of Directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be established from time to time without amendment to these Bylaws by resolution of the Board of Directors. The established number of Directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. No decrease in the established number of Directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.
Section 3.03. Tenure.  Each Director shall hold office from the date of such Director’s election and qualification until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such Director’s earlier removal, resignation, death, or incapacity. An election of all Directors by the shareholders shall be held at each annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders. A Director need not be a shareholder or a resident of the State of South Carolina. In case of any increase in the number of Directors, the additional directorships so created may be filled in the first instance in the same manner as a vacancy in the Board of Directors.
Section 3.04. Removal. Any Director may be removed from office, with or without cause, if by a vote of the shareholders the number of votes cast to remove such Director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove such Director.

Section 3.05. Vacancies.  The Board of Directors may by majority vote of the Directors then in office, regardless of whether such Directors constitute a quorum, elect a new Director to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no person may be elected to fill a vacancy created by such person’s removal from office pursuant to these Bylaws.
Section 3.06. Annual and Regular Meetings.  An annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be called and held for the purpose of annual organization, appointment of Officers and committees, and transaction of any other business.

Otherwise, such annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at such time (at any time prior to and not more than thirty days after the annual meeting of shareholders) and place as may be specified in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may by resolution provide for the holding of additional regular meetings without notice other than such resolution provided, however, the resolution shall fix the dates, times, and places (which may be anywhere within or without the State of South Carolina) for these regular meetings.

The notices may, but need not, describe the purpose of the meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the Director’s business address, with postage thereon prepaid.

Section 3.08. Waiver of Notice of Special Meetings.  Notice of a special meeting need not be given to any Director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. A Director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to him of the meeting unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.
Section 3.09. Participation by Telecommunications.  Any Director may participate in, and be regarded as present at, any meeting of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or any other means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time.

Section 3.12. Action Without Meeting.  Any action required or permitted by the Act and required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors at an annual, regular, or special meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is assented to by all members of the Board. The action may be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each Director, and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken. Action evidenced by written consents under this Section 3.12 is effective when the last Director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A consent signed under this Section 3.12 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.
Section 3.13. Presumption of Assent.  A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is considered to have assented to the action taken unless: (1) he objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his arrival) to holding it or transacting business at the meeting; (2) his dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (3) he delivers written notice of his dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.
Section 3.14. Executive Committee.  The Board of Directors may by resolution, adopted in accordance with the Act, designate and delegate authority to an Executive Committee with any or all such authority as may be permitted by the Act.

Other Committees.  The Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution, adopted in accordance with the Act, designate and delegate authority to an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and other committees, with any or all such authority as may be permitted by the Act. Any such committee may be designated as a standing committee appointed annually or as a special committee for specific circumstances or transactions with a limited duration. Each committee shall be composed of two or more members, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. All committee members must be Directors of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 33-8-250 of the Act. The Chairman of the Board shall be given notice of all committee meetings and may in the Chairman’s discretion attend meetings of any committee to which he or she is not appointed as a member. The duties, constitution, and procedures of any committee shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate one member of each committee as its chairman.
Section 3.16. Committee Meetings.  A majority of each committee’s voting members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by the committee, and each committee shall take action pursuant to resolutions adopted by a majority of the committee’s voting members participating in a meeting at which a quorum of the committee is present. Each committee may also take action without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action taken, shall be signed by all of the committee’s voting members in accordance with the procedures authorized by the Act. Special meetings of any committee may be called at any time by any Director who is a member of the committee or by any person entitled to call a special meeting of the full Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the conduct of all meetings of any committee, including notice thereof, and the taking of any action by such committee, shall be governed by Sections 3.06 through 3.13 of this Article.
Section 3.17. Authority.  Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, each committee may exercise those aspects of the authority of the Board of Directors which the Board of Directors confers upon such committee in the resolution creating the committee. Provided, however, a committee may not:

The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, authorize payments of greater amounts or different forms to the Chairman of the Board or particular Directors or committee members than are paid to other Directors. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. The Board of Directors may also by resolution authorize the payment or reimbursement of all expenses of each Director related to the Director’s attendance at meetings or other service to the Corporation.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 5.01. Scope.  Every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom such person is the legal representative is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under and pursuant to the Act (and regardless of whether such proceeding is by or in the right of the Corporation), against all expenses, liabilities, and losses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) suffered, or reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right that may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such Directors, Officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, insurance, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article V. The Corporation may contract in advance to provide indemnification.
Section 5.02. Advances and Reimbursements.  The determination that indemnification under this Article V is permissible and the evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses in a specific case shall be made, in the case of a Director, as provided by the Act, and in the case of an Officer or other person indemnified under Section 5.03, if any, as provided in Section 5.03 of this Article; provided, however, that if a majority of the Directors of the Corporation has changed after the date of the alleged conduct giving rise to a claim for indemnification, such determination and evaluation shall, at the option of the person claiming indemnification, be made by special legal counsel agreed upon by the Board of Directors and such person. Unless a determination has been made that indemnification is not permissible, and upon receipt of such written affirmation as required by the Act from the person to be indemnified, the Corporation shall make advances and reimbursements for expenses incurred by a Director or Officer or other person indemnified under Section 5.03, if any, in a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay the same if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Such undertaking shall be an unlimited, unsecured general obligation of the Director or Officer and shall be accepted without reference to such person’s ability to make repayment. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that a Director or Officer acted in such a manner as to make such person ineligible for indemnification.
Section 5.03. Indemnification of Other Persons.  The Corporation may, to a lesser extent or to the same extent that the Corporation is required to provide indemnification to its Directors and Officers, provide indemnification and make advances and reimbursements for expenses to (a) its employees, agents, and advisors, (b) the directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors of its subsidiaries and predecessor entities, and (c) any person serving any other legal entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation; and, if authorized by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, may contract in advance to do so. The determination that indemnification under this Section is permissible, the authorization of such indemnification, and the advance or reimbursement, if any, and the evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses in a specific case, shall be made as authorized from time to time by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, which action may be taken before or after a claim for indemnification is made, or as otherwise provided by the Act. No person’s rights under Sections 5.01 or 5.02 of this Article shall be limited by the provisions of this Section 5.03.
Section 5.04. Indemnification Plan.  The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt an Indemnification Plan implementing the rights granted in Section 5.01. This Indemnification Plan shall set forth in detail any other mechanics for exercise of the indemnification rights granted in this Article V, and shall be binding upon all parties except to the extent it is proven to be inconsistent with these Bylaws or the Act. The absence of the adoption of such plan, however, shall not vitiate the effectiveness of the rights conferred by this Article V.
Section 5.05. Insurance.  The Board of Directors may cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or any other person indemnified or described as the subject of potential indemnification in this Article V, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person.
Section 5.06. Miscellaneous.  Every reference in this Article V to persons who are or may be entitled to indemnification shall include all persons who formerly occupied any of the positions referred to and their respective heirs, executors, and administrators. Special legal counsel selected to make determinations under this Article V may be counsel for the Corporation. Indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right of indemnification to which any person may be entitled, including indemnification pursuant to valid contract, indemnification by legal entities other than the Corporation and indemnification under policies of insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or others. However, no person shall be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation to the extent prohibited by the Act or to the extent such person is indemnified by another, including an insurer; provided, however, that the Corporation may make advances and reimbursements, subject to appropriate repayment obligations, under Section 5.02 if the effectiveness of such other indemnification will be delayed. The provisions of this Article shall not be deemed to prohibit the Corporation from entering into contracts otherwise permitted by law with any individuals or legal entities, including those named above, for the purpose of conducting the business of the Corporation. Indemnification of any person under this Article V shall be implemented only in accordance with procedures and requirements mandated by the Act and by plans, if any, adopted pursuant to Section 5.04.
 
Should the Act be amended subsequent to the date of these Bylaws so as to place limitations or restrictions on the indemnification rights granted to any person by this Article V, such restriction or limitation shall not apply to any indemnification provided by the Corporation for acts or events that occurred prior to the effective date of such revised statutory provision or provisions. If any provision of this Article V or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Article V, and to this end the provisions of this Article V are severable.

Unless the Act expressly provides otherwise, the rights and obligations of shareholders are identical whether or not their shares are represented by certificates. Certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall state upon the face thereof the name of the person to whom issued, the number of shares, the fact that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of South Carolina, and such other matters as the Board of Directors may approve or as may be required by the Act. Each certificate shall be signed by (a) any one of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or a Vice President, and (b) by any one of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Where a certificate is countersigned by (i) a Transfer Agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or (ii) a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any Officer whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such Officer before such certificate is issued it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such Officer at the date of issue. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered. Certificates for shares of different classes, and different series within a class, to the extent authorized, if any, shall bear appropriate designations to identify the class or series as required by the Act.
Section 7.02. Shares without Certificates . The Board of Directors of the Corporation may authorize the issue of some or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series without certificates in accord with the provisions of Chapter 8 of Title 36 of the South Carolina Uniform Commercial Code. Within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, the Corporation’s Transfer Agent shall send the shareholder a written statement containing the following information: (a) the name of the Corporation and a statement that it is organized under the laws of South Carolina; (b) the name of the person to whom the shares are issued; (c) the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, of the shares; (d) if at such time the Corporation is authorized to issue different classes of shares or different series within a class, a summary of the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series) or, in lieu thereof, a statement that the Corporation will furnish the shareholder this information in writing, on request, and without charge; and (e) if applicable, a conspicuous notation that the shares are subject to a restriction on their transfer.
Section 7.03. Stock Transfer Books.  The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issuance, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Such stock transfer books shall be maintained by the Secretary or Transfer Agent as a record of the Corporation’s shareholders, in a form that permits preparation of a list of the names and addresses of all shareholders, in alphabetical order by class of shares showing the number and class of shares held by each shareholder.
Section 7.04. Transfer of Shares.  Subject to the provisions of the Act and to any transfer restrictions binding on the Corporation, transfer of shares of the Corporation shall be made only on the stock transfer books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s agent, attorney-in-fact or other legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer, upon surrender for cancellation of the certificate for such shares. Unless the Board of Directors in its discretion has by resolution established procedures, if any, by which a beneficial owner of shares held by a nominee may be recognized by the Corporation as the owner thereof, the person in whose name shares stand on the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be deemed by the Corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes. The Corporation’s stock transfer books maintained by the Secretary or the Transfer Agent shall be conclusive in all such regards absent a determination by the Board of Directors of manifest error. All certificate surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be canceled.
Section 7.05. New or Replacement Certificates.  No new stock certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed, or mutilated certificate a substitute certificate may be issued therefor upon: (a) the making of an affidavit by the holder of record of the shares represented by such certificate setting forth the facts concerning the loss, theft, or mutilation thereof; (b) delivery of such bond and/or indemnity to the Corporation as the Secretary or Board of Directors may prescribe or as may be required by law; and (c) satisfaction of such other reasonable requirements as the Secretary or Board of Directors may prescribe. To the extent permitted by applicable law (including Section 36-8-405 of the South Carolina Uniform Commercial Code), a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is not imprudent to do so; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secretary or the Board of Directors may in their discretion waive (except as prohibited by law) any bond requirement otherwise applicable where the aggregate fair market value of the shares represented by such lost, stolen, or mutilated certificate is less than five hundred dollars based upon indicia deemed reasonable by the waiving party.
Section 7.06. Beneficial Owners.  The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its stock transfer books as the owner of shares to receive dividends or other distributions, and to vote as such owner, a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act or by procedures, if any, established by resolution of the Board of Directors in its discretion by which a beneficial owner of shares held by a nominee may be recognized as the owner thereof. Such procedures, if any, shall also set forth the extent of such recognition.
Section 7.07. Transfer Agent.  The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, appoint an independent institutional Transfer Agent to serve as transfer agent and registrar for the Corporation’s stock at the pleasure of the Board. Such Transfer Agent shall assist the Corporation’s Secretary and voting inspectors in performance of their duties respecting shares of the Corporation’s stock. Such Transfer Agent shall maintain the Corporation’s stock transfer books and stock certificates in accordance with the Act, these Bylaws, instructions of the Board of Directors, and customary procedures consistently applied. Such Transfer Agent shall perform such other duties and shall be entitled to exercise such other powers, as may be assigned to the Transfer Agent from time to time by the Secretary or the Board of Directors.
Section 7.08. Transfer Restrictions.  The Secretary shall have full power and authority to place or cause to be placed on any and all stock certificates restrictive legends to the extent reasonably believed necessary or appropriate to ensure the Corporation’s compliance with federal or any state’s securities laws, and to issue to any Transfer Agent stop transfer orders to effect compliance with such legends.

SCHEDULE 5

Sales where the US Federal Government is the End User

1.
For purposes of this Schedule and the Agreement, a “Federal Governmental Entity” is any department, agency, or instrumentality of the U.S. Federal Government. Sales made by Distributor to Resellers for further resale (directly or indirectly) to a US Federal Government Entity (“US Fed Gov Sales”) are subject to the terms of this Schedule. Distributor is prohibited from selling directly to Federal Governmental Entities.

2.
Program Members purchasing from Distributor for US Fed Gov Sales must be authorized by Motorola Solutions to participate in the U.S. Federal Market Specialization (as indicated in the Distributor Download) and such Program Members must use a special US Federal Government ordering number to the extent such number is provided by Motorola to Distributor.

3.
Program Members buying for US Fed Gov Sales may resell to other resellers who do not have to be members in the Program, provided such other resellers are either prime contractors to a Federal Government Entity or subcontractors between the Program Members and such prime contractors and provided they are approved in writing by Motorola for each particular US Fed Gov Sales opportunity (the “Three-Stepping Opportunities”). *****

4.
Distributor cannot obligate Motorola Solutions as subcontractor or otherwise to any Federal Governmental Entity. If Distributor transacts such sales, it is solely and exclusively responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and provisions governing sales to any Federal Government Entity.

5.
On a case-by-case basis and at Motorola Solutions’ sole discretion, Motorola Solutions may, upon request from Distributor, provide a General Services Administration (GSA) Letter of Supply (“LoS”), or other contract vehicle supply authorization(s), to Resellers, for use in authorizing the addition of specified Products to their respective GSA or other identified Federal agency contracts (“Federal Contract Vehicles”). This LoS, or Federal Contract Vehicle can NOT be used by Distributor to support direct Federal sales by the Distributor under the Distributor's GSA or Distributor’s other Federal Contracts Vehicles. The Federal Contract Vehicles supply authorization(s) will include Motorola Solutions’ commitments regarding delivery schedules and other related representations (e.g., Trade Agreements Act). These terms and representations will apply and can only be used for the authorized LoS transactions and cannot be used for non-LoS transactions.
 
6. Other than the representations made in the Motorola Solutions-provided GSA LoS, or other contract vehicle supply authorization(s), Motorola Solutions makes no representation or certifications with respect to the ability of its products, services, or prices to satisfy any laws, regulations, or provisions governing or relating to such US Fed Gov Sales, including, but not limited to, place of product origin, manufacture, and/or assembly (e.g., under the Buy American Act or Trade Agreements Act); contracting with small, minority, or diversity suppliers; payment of prevailing wages; or price guarantees and commitments. Motorola Solutions does represent that it complies with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and provisions listed in Section 13(a) herein.

7.
For those Products containing Mesh technology Distributor agrees that it will not modify the Motorola Solutions hardware or software purchased for US Fed Gov Sales or design or adapt the Products for military applications. The terms of Section 6 of the Agreement- Flow Down Requirements, will apply with respect to Distributor’s obligation to advise Resellers of this restriction and the need to advise their respective Federal Government Entities thereof.

8. The terms and conditions of Section 6 - Flow Down Requirements, will apply with respect to Distributor’s obligation to include the following language in its transactions with Resellers for further flow down to their respective End Users when Products are procured by such Resellers for use in the European Union (EU):

“All Products to be shipped under this order acknowledgement are intended for the sole and direct use by the US military, US Dept of State or other US Federal agencies, OR by military agencies of the EU country under a US Government FMS purchase, and no commercial or business usage of these Products are intended; as such the requirements of the EU RHHS regulations do not apply.  Additionally, it is intended that the Products will not be resold within the EU, and any non-RoHS items will not be disposed of within the EU.” Distributor will not accept any order without such statement.

9. When the Federal Government Entities are located outside the U.S. Distributor agrees to comply with the following additional export and product regulatory requirements:

(a)
Distributor will effect or secure all necessary governmental permits, licenses and registrations required in connection with the execution or performance of any transaction contemplated under the Agreement and this Schedule, including the exportation from the U.S.A. or from the Products’ FCA (Incoterms 2010) Motorola Solutions’ regional distribution location, and the importation into and purchase and sale of the Products in the country where End User is located, and provide Motorola Solutions with copies thereof upon Motorola Solutions’ request. Motorola agrees to provide such assistance to Distributor as reasonably needed in order to effect or secure such necessary governmental permits, licenses and registrations.
 
(b)
Distributor recognizes and confirms that Products could only be deployed in countries that as of the date of deployment have all the necessary regulatory approvals. Distributor will not purchase Products for deployment in locations that are not an approved (from a regulatory perspective or otherwise) geographical region for use of the Product being ordered, per Motorola Solutions product information provided in its electronic product ordering guide.

(c)
If Distributor is requested to drop-ship Products in countries where regulatory approvals for such Products have not yet been obtained, Distributor shall obtain, at its own cost and in Motorola Solutions’ name, any required regulatory approvals, governmental clearances, authorizations/test and development & site licenses and any other approval required prior to such deployments. Motorola agrees to provide such assistance to Distributor as reasonably required to effect or secure such necessary regulatory approvals.

(d)
Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, where:

(i)    Governmental agencies mandate the addition of labels, this shall be the responsibility of Distributor. Motorola agrees to provide such assistance to Distributor as reasonably required to effect the addition of such labels.

(ii)
Governmental agencies mandate the removal of any installed Product due to such Product not having the required regulatory approvals for use in the applicable locality on the date it was installed, this shall be the responsibility Distributor.  

10. Software Licensing Provisions.

(c) As regards to Buy American Act provisions, Motorola Solutions is representing that the proposed equipment meets the definitions of a commercial item and information technology as defined in FAR 2.101, and therefore consistent with FAR rule FAR 25.103(e), acquisitions of information technology meeting the commercial item definition, and using fiscal year 2004 or subsequent funds are exempt from the Buy American Act and Balance of Payments. As regards to Trade Agreements provisions, the proposed equipment should be considered to be foreign end products unless otherwise stated in writing by Motorola Solutions.

SCHEDULE 7

MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS END-USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Motorola Solutions End-User Software License Agreement (“End-User License Agreement”) is between Motorola Solutions and Customer to whom Motorola Solutions’ proprietary software or Motorola Solutions Products containing embedded, pre-loaded, or installed software (“Products’) is made available. This End-User License Agreement contains the terms and conditions of the license Motorola Solutions is providing to Customer, and Customer’s use of the Software and Documentation.
SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS
“Customer” means the entity to which a license is granted under the terms and conditions of this End-User License Agreement.
“Documentation” means product and software documentation that specifies technical and performance features and capabilities, and the user, operation and training manuals for the Software (including all physical or electronic media upon which such information is provided).
“Open Source Software” means software with either freely obtainable source code license for modification, or permission for free distribution.
“Open Source Software License” means the terms or conditions under which the Open Source Software is licensed.
“Software” (i) means proprietary software in object code format, and adaptations, translations, decompilations, disassemblies, emulations, or derivative works of such software; (ii) means any modifications, enhancements, new versions and new releases of the software provided by Motorola Solutions; and (iii) may contain items of software owned by a third party supplier. The term “Software” does not include any third party software provided under separate license or third party software not licensable under the terms of this Agreement. To the extent, if any, that there is a separate license agreement packaged with, or provided electronically with, a particular Product that becomes effective on an act of acceptance by the end user, then that agreement supersedes this End-User License Agreement as to the end use of that particular Product.
SECTION 2     GRANT OF LICENSE
Subject to the provisions of this End-User License Agreement, Motorola Solutions grants to Customer a personal, limited, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 4), and non-exclusive license under Motorola Solutions’ copyrights and confidential information embodied in the Software to use the Software, in object code form, and the Documentation solely in connection with Customer’s use of the Products. This End-User License Agreement does not grant any rights to source code.
If the Software licensed under this End-User License Agreement contains or is derived from Open Source Software, the terms and conditions governing the use of such Open Source Software are in the Open Source Software Licenses of the copyright owner and not this End-User License Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this End-User License Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Open Source Software Licenses governing Customer’s use of the Open Source Software, the terms and conditions of the license grant of the applicable Open Source Software Licenses will take precedence over the license grants in this End-User License Agreement. If requested by Customer, Motorola Solutions will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) determine whether any Open Source Software is provided under this End-User License Agreement; (ii) identify the Open

PartnerEmpower™ AMERICAS DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT





Source Software and provide Customer a copy of the applicable Open Source Software License (or specify where that license may be found); and, (iii) provide Customer a copy of the Open Source Software source code, without charge, if it is publicly available (although distribution fees may be applicable).
SECTION 3     LIMITATIONS ON USE
Customer may use the Software only for Customer’s internal business purposes and only in accordance with the Documentation. Any other use of the Software is strictly prohibited and will be deemed a breach of this End-User License Agreement. Without limiting the general nature of these restrictions, Customer will not make the Software available for use by third parties on a “time sharing,” “application service provider,” or “service bureau” basis or for any other similar commercial rental or sharing arrangement.
Customer will not, and will not allow or enable any third party to: (i) reverse engineer, disassemble, peel components, decompile, reprogram or otherwise reduce the Software or any portion to a human perceptible form or otherwise attempt to recreate the source code; (ii) modify, adapt, create derivative works of, or merge the Software with other software; (iii) copy, reproduce, distribute, lend, or lease the Software or Documentation to any third party, grant any sublicense or other rights in the Software or Documentation to any third party, or take any action that would cause the Software or Documentation to be placed in the public domain; (iv) remove, or in any way alter or obscure, any copyright notice or other notice of Motorola Solutions’ proprietary rights; (v) provide, copy, transmit, disclose, divulge or make the Software or Documentation available to, or permit the use of the Software by any third party or on any machine except as expressly authorized by this Agreement; or (vi) use, or permit the use of, the Software in a manner that would result in the production of a copy of the Software solely by activating a machine containing the Software. Customer may make one copy of Software to be used solely for archival, back-up, or disaster recovery purposes; provided that Customer may not operate that copy of the Software at the same time as the original Software is being operated. Customer may make as many copies of the Documentation as it may reasonably require for the internal use of the Software.
Unless otherwise authorized by Motorola Solutions in writing, Customer will not, and will not enable or allow any third party to: (i) install a licensed copy of the Software on more than one unit of a Product; or (ii) copy onto or transfer Software installed in one unit of a Product onto another device.
If Customer is purchasing Products that require a site license, Customer must purchase a copy of the applicable Software for each site at which Customer uses such Software. Customer may make one additional copy for each computer owned or controlled by Customer at each such site. Customer may temporarily use the Software on portable or laptop computers at other sites. Customer must provide a written list of all sites where Customer uses or intends to use the Software.
SECTION 4     TRANSFERS
Customer will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without Motorola Solutions’ prior written consent. Motorola Solutions’ consent may be withheld at its discretion and may be conditioned upon transferee paying all applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this End-User License Agreement.
SECTION 5     OWNERSHIP AND TITLE
Motorola Solutions, its licensors, and its suppliers retain all of their proprietary rights in any form in and to the Software and Documentation, including, but not limited to, all rights in patents, patent applications, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, and other proprietary rights in or relating to the Software and Documentation. No rights are granted to Customer under this Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except for those rights which are expressly granted to Customer in this End-User License Agreement. All intellectual property developed, originated, or prepared by Motorola Solutions in connection with providing the Software, Products, Documentation

or related services remains vested exclusively in Motorola Solutions, and Customer will not have any shared development or other intellectual property rights.
SECTION 6     CONFIDENTIALITY
Customer acknowledges that the Software contains valuable proprietary information and trade secrets and that unauthorized dissemination, distribution, modification, reverse engineering, disassembly or other improper use of the Software will result in irreparable harm to Motorola Solutions for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, Customer will limit access to the Software to those of its employees and agents who need to use the Software for Customer’s internal business.

SECTION 7     MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
No maintenance or support is provided under this End-User License Agreement. Maintenance or support, if available, will be provided under a Motorola Solutions Software Maintenance and Support Agreement.

Exhibit 18.1

May 7, 2014

Board of Directors
ScanSource, Inc.
6 Logue Court
Greenville, SC 29615

Dear Directors:
We are providing this letter solely for inclusion as an exhibit to ScanSource, Inc.’s (the "Company") Form 10-Q filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
As stated in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, the Company changed its annual goodwill impairment testing measurement date from June 30 to April 30. Note 1 also states management’s belief that the newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances because it corresponds to the Company’s annual financial planning and budgeting process, and ensures the completion of the test prior to the end of the annual reporting period.
With regard to the aforementioned accounting change, it should be understood that authoritative criteria have not been established for evaluating the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another acceptable method and, in expressing our concurrence below, we have relied on management’s business planning and judgment and on management’s determination that this change in accounting principle is preferable.
Based on our reading of management’s stated reasons and justification for this change in accounting principle in the Form 10-Q, and our discussions with management as to their judgment about the relevant business planning factors relating to the change, we concur with management that the newly adopted method of accounting is preferable in the Company’s circumstances.
We have not audited the application of the aforementioned accounting change to the financial statements included in Part I of the Company’s Form 10-Q. We also have not audited any consolidated financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on whether the accounting for the change in accounting principle has been properly applied or whether the aforementioned financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Grant Thornton LLP
