The Company, Intermediate and the Investors have entered into that certain Preferred Unit and Warrant Subscription Agreement (as may be amended, the “Subscription Agreement”), dated as of the Effective Date, pursuant to which the Investors have agreed to purchase Preferred Units from Intermediate and the Investor Warrants from the Company and Intermediate, on the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Purchased Securities”);

A significant portion of the proceeds from the purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities will be used to make the Member Distribution;

This Agreement is required to be delivered by Executive pursuant to Section 2.02(b) of the Subscription Agreement; and

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive is an inducement to and a condition precedent to the Investors’ willingness to consummate the Transaction.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution of the Subscription Agreement by the Company, Intermediate and the Investors and consummation of the Transaction and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1.          Confidential Information.

(a)          Obligation to Maintain Confidentiality.  Executive agrees to treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with the Subscription Agreement or in connection with performing his duties as an employee of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, and deliver promptly to the Company or destroy, at the request and option of the Company or any Investor, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his possession or under his control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may retain Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law; provided that any Confidential Information so retained shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth herein.  In the event that Executive is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Executive shall notify the Company promptly of the request or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 1.(a).  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Executive is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, Executive may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided that Executive shall use his commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of the Company, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Company shall designate.

(b)         Trade Name. Executive agrees not to use, or permit any of his Affiliates to use, the “One Water” name, the “Singleton” name, the “Legendary” name, the “Phil Dill” name, the “Rambo Marine” name, the “Lookout Marine” name, the “American Boat Brokers” name, the “Captain’s Choice Marine” name, the “Sundance Marine” name or any name that may reasonably be considered confusingly similar to any such names in any manner anywhere in the world; provided that this Section 1.(b) shall not restrict Executive from performing his duties as an employee of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or from use of such names in Executive’s résumé.

2.          Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a)          Noncompetition.  In consideration of the Member Distribution and other transactions contemplated by the Related Documents, and as a condition precedent to willingness of the Company, Intermediate and the Investors to enter into the Related Documents and consummate the Transaction, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the forty-two (42) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), Executive hereby agrees that he shall not engage (whether as an owner, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise) directly or indirectly in the business of owning, developing, acquiring, managing or operating boat dealerships or any other business competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”) anywhere in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee or any other State where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has locations or otherwise conducts material business as of the Effective Date (the “Restricted Territory”); provided that passive ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed to be engaging in the Business solely by reason thereof.  Executive acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries currently engage, or propose to engage, in the Business throughout the Restricted Territory.

(b)          Nonsolicitation.  Executive agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, his (i) shall not, and shall use his reasonable best efforts not to permit Executive’s Affiliates to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any Person that is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a management-level capacity as of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Investors, and (ii) shall not induce or attempt to induce any vendor or other material business relationship into any business relationship which would materially harm the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided however, that the foregoing provision will not prevent Executive from (A) making any general public solicitation not directed toward such employees or (B) soliciting or hiring any Person whose employment was terminated by Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and at least six months prior to such solicitation, but only if such previously terminated Person is not then under an applicable non-compete agreement which would be violated by such a hiring.  The term “indirectly” as used in this Agreement is intended to mean any acts authorized or directed by or on behalf of Executive or any Person controlled by Executive.

3.          Remedy for Breach.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy.  Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the Company, Intermediate, the Investors and/or their respective successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, and in connection therewith Executive hereby waives (i) any defense in any such action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate, (ii) any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining such equitable relief and (iii) any defense in any such motion for specific performance that such remedy is unavailable as a result of the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or the Subscription Agreement or any other Related Document by the Company, Intermediate or any Investor.

4.          Additional Acknowledgments.  Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are in consideration of: (i) the Transaction, including Executive’s right to receive (indirectly, as an equityholder of the Company) his portion of the Member Payment and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement and the other Related Documents.  In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 1, 2 and 3 do not preclude Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executive’s ability to earn a living.  In addition, Executive acknowledges (x) that the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be conducted throughout the Restricted Territory and (y) notwithstanding the state of organization or principal office of the Company, or any of its executives or employees, it is expected that the Company and its Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business relationships in the Business throughout the Restricted Territory.  Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Investors and the Company and its Subsidiaries of the non‑enforcement of any provision of Sections 1, 2 and 3 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise.  Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and consulted with legal counsel of his choosing regarding its contents, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company now existing or to be developed in the future.  Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. Reformation of a restriction to validate its enforcement in any particular jurisdiction, however, will not affect the enforcement of the restriction as stated in any other jurisdiction in which it is enforceable as stated.  Also, the invalidity of a restriction in any particular jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforcement of the restriction in another jurisdiction where it is otherwise valid.

5.          Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Subscription Agreement and the other Related Documents and the other documents referred to therein) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof; provided that Executive’s obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other agreement or arrangement between Executive, on the one hand, and the Company, Intermediate and the Investors, on the other hand.

7.         Succession and Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided however, that the Company, Intermediate and each Investor may each assign its rights under this Agreement (but may not delegate its obligations hereunder) to (a) an Affiliate by a written assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which such Affiliate agrees to assume all obligations of such Party, or (b) to any of such Party’s lender(s) as collateral security.

8.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
