PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
          MarineMax, Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):
  (a)   The Registrant’s latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that contains audited financial statements for the Registrant’s latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed;
 
  (b)   All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the document referred to in (a) above; and
 
  (c)   The description of the Registrant’s common stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No. 001-14173), filed with the Commission on May 28, 1998 and declared effective on June 1, 1998.
          In addition, reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
          Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Phoenix, Arizona. Robert S. Kant, a principal shareholder of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., has served as a director of our company since August 1998 and owns 36,583 shares of our common stock and holds options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at various prices.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     The Restated Certificate Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to each person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the Registrant (an “Indemnitee”).
     Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits in defense of a suit or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or agent of the Registrant, or serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the Registrant, the Registrant shall indemnify him or her against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action.
     If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i) expenses, including attorney’s fees, and (ii) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she

II-1


Table of Contents

reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
     If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of the Registrant, where the suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of the suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant except that if the Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Registrant, he or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines that he or she is fully and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
     Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of the suit, action, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant. The Registrant may also advance expenses incurred by other employees and agents of the Registrant upon such terms and conditions, if any, that the Board of Directors of the Registrant deems appropriate.

Item 9. Undertakings.
     (a) 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 this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) 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;
      Provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
     (b) 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 15(d) of the Securities 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 this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (c) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

      Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
       MarineMax, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
      


          As legal counsel to MarineMax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we have assisted in the preparation of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 28, 2007 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of (a) 3,738,429 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “2007 Plan Shares”) issuable pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and (b) 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Fee Plan Shares”) issuable pursuant to the Company’s Director Fee Share Purchase Program (the “Fee Plan”). The 2007 Plan Shares and the Fee Plan Shares are collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The facts, as we understand them, are set forth in the Registration Statement.
          With respect to the opinion set forth below, we have examined originals, certified copies, or copies otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, only of the following:
          A. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and as filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware;
          B. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company;
          C. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted at a meeting on December 8, 2006, authorizing the issuance of the Shares and adopting the 2007 Plan and the Fee Plan;
          D. The 2007 Plan;
          E. Form Stock Option Agreement for the 2007 Plan;
          F. Form Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for the 2007 Plan;
          G. Minutes of the February 28, 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, at which the stockholders approved the 2007 Plan as adopted by the Board of Directors;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 


 

MarineMax, Inc.

          H. The Fee Plan; and
          I. The Registration Statement.
          Subject to the assumptions that (i) the documents and signatures examined by us are genuine and authentic, and (ii) the persons executing the documents examined by us have the legal capacity to execute such documents, and based solely upon our review of items A through I above, and subject to the further limitations and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the 2007 Plan and the Fee Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
          We express no opinion as the applicability or effect of any laws, orders, or judgments of any state or other jurisdiction other than federal securities laws and the substantive laws of the state of Delaware, including judicial interpretations of such laws. Further, our opinion is based solely upon existing laws, rules, and regulations, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes that may be brought to our attention after the date hereof.
          We hereby expressly consent to any reference to our firm in the Registration Statement, inclusion of this Opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to the filing of this Opinion with any other appropriate governmental agency.
         
  Very truly yours,

Exhibit 10.25
MarineMax, Inc.
Director Fee Share Purchase Program
I. Effectiveness . This Director Fee Share Purchase Program (the “Program”) shall be effective immediately upon its adoption by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MarineMax, Inc. (the “Company”). The Program was adopted by the Board effective December 8, 2006.
II. Purpose . The purpose of this Program is to allow members of our Board (each a “Director”) to use the cash fees they receive as Directors (the “Directors Fees”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) from the Company without payment of a broker’s fee and as an exempt purchase under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Section 16). It is the Company’s understanding that these purchases will also be exempt from the stockholder approval requirements of Rule 303A.08 of the Corporate Governance Standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
III Eligibility . All Directors who are paid Directors Fees are eligible to participate in this Program.
IV Procedure for Purchasing Shares . For a Director to purchase Shares under the Program, the following procedures shall be followed:
     A. At least ten (10) days prior to the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter, a Director may notify the Company of the portion of his or her Directors Fees with respect to such quarter (in whole percentages up to one hundred percent (100%)) that the Director would like to use to purchase Shares. A Director may make either a one-time election for a quarter or an election effective for all future Directors Fees until revoked by the Director in a written notice to the Company.
     B. At the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters (each a “Payment Date”), the Company shall calculate the number of whole Shares purchasable (rounding down to the nearest whole Share) using the closing sales price of the Shares on the primary stock exchange on which the Shares are traded on the Payment Date.
     C. Any cash amounts remaining after the purchase (i.e., the amount that would not equal a whole Share) shall be paid out in cash as part of the Directors Fees.
     D. The Shares purchased by the Director shall, at the election of the Director, either be (i) issued to the Director in certificate form or (ii) issued in street name to the broker designated by the Director.
IV Administration . The Board shall administer this Program. As the Administrator, the Board may make all determinations and decisions regarding the operation and interpretation of this Program. The Board may amend or terminate this Program at any time, provided no amendment or termination shall effect the issuance of shares after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company in which the related Directors Fees were earned.
