good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware further provides that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, such corporation has the power to indemnify such person only against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or
proceeding to which such person is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position,
if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believes to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and no indemnification shall be made
with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such
indemnification is proper under the circumstances. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that, to the extent
a present or former director of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith. It also provides that the expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as provided by
Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Such expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the
corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers,
employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our current and former directors and officers and persons
who, while serving as a director or officer of Swisher Hygiene, act or acted at our request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably
incurred, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
In addition, our bylaws provide that we will pay the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred
by any such person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that
such payment will be made only upon the receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay all
amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers
in which indemnification or advancement is sought. We are not aware of any threatened litigation
that may result in claims for advancement or indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and other persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment of expenses incurred or paid by a
director or officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or other person in connection with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

The SEC allows us to provide information about our business and other important information to you

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We are a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides
that a director shall not be liable to us or our stockholders, except to the extent such exemption
from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation has
the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other
persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with an action or proceeding (other
than an action or proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation) to which such person is
or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware further provides that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, such corporation has the power to indemnify such person only against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or
proceeding to which such person is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position,
if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believes to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and no indemnification shall be made
with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such
indemnification is proper under the circumstances. Section 145 further provides that, to the extent
a present or former director of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith. It also provides that the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as provided by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the
corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers,
employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our current and former directors and officers and persons
who, while serving as a director or officer of Swisher Hygiene, act or acted at our request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably
incurred, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
In addition, our bylaws provide that we will pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by any such person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that
such payment will be made only upon the receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay all
amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers
in which indemnification or advancement is sought. We are not aware of any threatened litigation
that may result in claims for advancement or indemnification.
We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and other persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment of expenses incurred or paid by a
director or officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or other person in connection with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

(1)
Registration Statement on Form 10, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 9, 2010.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
i.
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
II-3
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
II-4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Charlotte, State of North Carolina on
