MARINEMAX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. COMPANY BACKGROUND:

We are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States. We engage primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and used boats, motors, trailers, marine parts and accessories and offer slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. In addition, we arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts. We recently implemented programs to increase our sale over the Internet of used boats and a wide range of boating parts, accessories, supplies, and products; the sale of boats, boating parts, and accessories, as well as the offer of finance and insurance, or F&I, products at various offsite locations; and the charter of power and sailing yachts in the British Virgin Islands. None of these recently implemented programs have had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2013, we operated through 54 retail locations in 18 states, consisting of Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Texas. Our MarineMax Vacations operations maintain a facility in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

We are the nation’s largest retailer of Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Bayliner, Meridian, Cabo, and Hatteras recreational boats and yachts, all of which are manufactured by Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”). Sales of new Brunswick boats accounted for approximately 47% of our revenue in fiscal 2012. Brunswick is the world’s largest manufacturer of marine products and marine engines. We believe we represented in excess of 7% of all Brunswick marine sales, including approximately 42% of its Sea Ray boat sales, during our 2012 fiscal year.

We have dealership agreements with Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Bayliner, Cabo, Hatteras, Meridian, and Mercury Marine, all subsidiaries or divisions of Brunswick. We also have dealer agreements with Italy-based Azimut-Benetti Group’s product line for Azimut Yachts. These agreements allow us to purchase, stock, sell, and service these manufacturers’ boats and products. These agreements also allow us to use these manufacturers’ names, trade symbols, and intellectual properties in our operations.

We are a party to a multi-year dealer agreement with Brunswick covering Sea Ray products that appoints us as the exclusive dealer of Sea Ray boats in our geographic markets. We are the exclusive dealer for Boston Whaler and Bayliner through multi-year dealer agreements for many of our geographic markets. We are a party to a dealer agreement with Hatteras that gives us the exclusive right to sell Hatteras Yachts throughout the states of Florida (excluding the Florida panhandle), New Jersey, New York, and Texas. We are also the exclusive dealer for Cabo throughout the states of Florida, New Jersey, and New York through a dealer agreement. In addition, we are the exclusive dealer for Azimut Yachts for the entire United States through a multi-year dealer agreement. We believe non-Brunswick brands offer a migration for our existing customer base or fill a void in our product offerings, and accordingly, do not compete with the business generated from our other prominent brands.

As is typical in the industry, we deal with manufacturers, other than Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Bayliner, Meridian, and Azimut Yachts, under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which gives us the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements, or the agreements discussed above, for any reason, or changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect our results of operations. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the type of boats and products that we sell, we believe that adequate alternative sources would be available to replace any manufacturer other than Sea Ray as a product source. These alternative sources may not be available at the time of any interruption, and alternative products may not be available at comparable terms, which could affect operating results adversely.

General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated 54%, 50%, and 49% of our revenue during fiscal 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, military base closings, inclement weather such as Hurricane Sandy, environmental conditions, and specific events, such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, also could adversely affect our operations in certain markets.

Table of Contents

In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence has a negative effect on our business.

Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007, and continued weakness in consumer spending and depressed economic conditions had a very substantial negative effect on our business in each subsequent fiscal year. These conditions caused us to substantially reduce our acquisition program, delay new store openings, reduce our inventory purchases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close a number of our retail locations, reduce our headcount, and amend and replace our credit facility. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we plan to resume our growth through these strategies when more normal economic conditions return. However, we cannot predict the length or severity of these unfavorable economic or financial conditions or the extent to which they will continue to adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment or whether additional measures will be necessary.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2013, our financial instruments consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits, and short-term borrowings. The carrying amounts of our financial instruments reported on the balance sheet at June 30, 2013 approximated fair value due either to length to maturity or existence of variable interest rates, which approximate prevailing market rates. The operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates made by us in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include valuation allowances, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, and valuation of accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “MarineMax” mean MarineMax, Inc. prior to its acquisition of five previously independent recreational boat dealers in March 1998 (including their related real estate companies) and all references to the “Company,” “our company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean, as a combined company, MarineMax, Inc. and the 23 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair operations acquired to date (the “acquired dealers,” and together with the brokerage and repair operations, “operating subsidiaries” or the “acquired companies”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales, and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or the service is completed. We recognize deferred revenue from service operations and slip and storage services on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or when service is completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. We recognize commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing when we recognize the related boat sales. We recognize marketing fees earned on credit life, accident, disability, gap, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the insurance product as evidenced by contract execution or when the related boat sale is recognized. Pursuant to negotiated agreements with financial and insurance institutions, we are charged back for a portion of these fees should the customer terminate or default on the related finance or insurance contract before it is outstanding for a stipulated minimum period of time. We base the chargeback allowance, which was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2013, on our experience with repayments or defaults on the related finance or insurance contracts.

We also recognize commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms as evidenced by contract execution or recognition of the related boat sale. We are charged back for a portion of these commissions should the customer terminate or default on the service contract prior to its scheduled maturity. We determine the chargeback allowance, which was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2013, based upon our experience with terminations or defaults on the service contracts.

4. INVENTORIES:

Inventory costs consist of the amount paid to acquire inventory, net of vendor consideration and purchase discounts, the cost of equipment added, reconditioning costs, and transportation costs relating to acquiring inventory for sale. We state new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or market. We state parts and accessories at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or market. We utilize our historical experience, the aging of the inventories, and our consideration of current market trends as the basis for determining a lower of cost or market valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, our lower of cost or market valuation allowance was $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, the lower of cost or market valuation allowance could increase.

5. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-40, “Property, Plant, and Equipment—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10-40”), requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-40 is permanent and may not be restored. Based upon our most recent analysis, we believe no impairment of long-lived assets existed at June 30, 2013.

6. INCOME TAXES:

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.

Pursuant to ASC 740, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. Under the provisions of ASC 740-10, we determined that our net deferred tax asset needed to be fully reserved given recent earnings and industry trends.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

In June 2013, we entered into an amendment to our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “amended Credit Facility”), originally entered into in June 2010, as subsequently amended, with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation. The June 2013 amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to June 2016, subject to additional extension for two one-year periods, with lender approval. The June 2013 amendment, among other things, also added additional lenders and modified the amount of borrowing availability, interest rate, and maturity date of the Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of up to $205 million, an increase from the previous limit of $150 million, subject to borrowing base availability resulting from the amount and aging of our inventory.

The amended Credit Facility has certain financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the amended Credit Facility. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the amended Credit Facility is now 355 basis points above the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) a reduction of 28 basis points from the prior amendment. There is an unused line fee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the amended Credit Facility.

Advances under the amended Credit Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory mature 1,081 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting after six months. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type and value of the inventory. The collateral for the amended Credit Facility is all of our personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the amended Credit Facility.

In July 2012, we entered into an extension through August 31, 2013 to our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “CGI Facility”), originally entered into in October 2010 with CGI Finance, Inc., as extended in September 2011. The CGI Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of $30 million and is designed to provide financing for our Azimut Yacht inventory needs. The CGI Facility’s one-year term is typical in the industry for similar floor plan facilities; however, each advance under the CGI Facility can remain outstanding for 18 months. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the CGI Facility is 350 basis points above the one-month LIBOR.

Advances under the CGI Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that has been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory mature 550 days from the advance date. Advances on used inventory mature 366 days from the advance date. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis, starting after six months for used inventory and one year for new inventory. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type of inventory.

The collateral for the CGI Facility is our entire Azimut Yacht inventory financed by the CGI Facility with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged as collateral for the CGI Facility. We must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants as specified in the CGI Facility. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the CGI Facility. The CGI Facility contemplates that other lenders may be added by us to finance other inventory not financed under the CGI Facility, if needed.

As of June 30, 2013, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs totaled approximately $142.3 million. At both June 30, 2012 and 2013, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 4.0%. At June 30, 2013, our additional available borrowings under our amended Credit Facility and CGI Facility were approximately $16.6 million based upon the outstanding borrowing base availability. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages.

As is common in our industry, we receive interest assistance directly from boat manufacturers, including Brunswick. The interest assistance programs vary by manufacturer, but generally include periods of free financing or reduced interest rate programs. The interest assistance may be paid directly to us or our lender depending on the arrangements the manufacturer has established. We classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders.

The availability and costs of borrowed funds can adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate boat inventory and the holding costs of that inventory as well as the ability and willingness of our customers to finance boat purchases. At June 30, 2013, we had no long-term debt. However, we rely on our amended Credit Facility and CGI Facility to purchase our inventory of boats. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages. Our access to funds under our amended Credit Facility and CGI Facility also depends upon the ability of our lenders to meet their funding commitments, particularly if they experience shortages of capital or experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests from others during a short period of time. A continuation of depressed economic conditions, weak consumer spending, turmoil in the credit markets, and lender difficulties could interfere with our ability to utilize our amended Credit Facility and CGI Facility to fund our operations. Any inability to utilize our amended Credit Facility or CGI Facility could require us to seek other sources of funding to repay amounts outstanding under the credit agreements or replace or supplement our credit agreements, which may not be possible at all or under commercially reasonable terms.

Similarly, decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of our customers to purchase boats from us and thereby adversely affect our ability to sell our products and impact the profitability of our finance and insurance activities. Tight credit conditions during fiscal 2009, 2010, and 2011 adversely affected the ability of customers to finance boat purchases, which had a negative effect on our operating results.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

We account for our stock-based compensation plans following the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we use the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. For restricted stock units with market conditions, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation embedded in a lattice model to determine the fair value. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in operations, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no tax benefits realized for tax deductions from option exercises for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 or 2013.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based compensation arrangements for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, was approximately $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. We currently expect to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.

9. THE INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS:

During February 2013, our stockholders approved a proposal to amend the 2011 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (“2011 Plan”) to increase the 1,200,456 share threshold by 1,000,000 shares to 2,200,456 shares. During January 2011, our stockholders approved a proposal to authorize our 2011 Plan, which replaced our 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2007 Plan”). Our 2011 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock related awards, and performance awards (collectively “awards”), that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. Our 2011 Plan is designed to attract, motivate, retain, and reward our executives, employees, officers, directors, and independent contractors by providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value. Subsequent to the February 2013 amendment described above, the total number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2011 Plan is equal to 2,000,000 shares, plus (i) any shares available for issuance and not subject to an award under the 2007 Plan, which was 200,456 shares at the time of approval of the 2011 Plan, (ii) the number of shares with respect to which awards granted under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan terminate without the issuance of the shares or where the shares are forfeited or repurchased; (iii) with respect to awards granted under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the number of shares that are not issued as a result of the award being settled for cash or otherwise not issued in connection with the exercise or payment of the award; and (iv) the number of shares that are surrendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of any award or any tax withholding requirements in connection with any award granted under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan. The 2011 Plan terminates in January 2021, and awards may be granted at any time during the life of the 2011 Plan. The date on which awards vest are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator. The Board of Directors has appointed the Compensation Committee as the Plan Administrator. The exercise prices of options are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator and are at least equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date of grant. The term of options under the 2011 Plan may not exceed ten years. The options granted have varying vesting periods. To date, we have not settled or been under any obligation to settle any awards in cash.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 was $4.27 and $4.49, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 was $1.4 million and $3.0 million respectively.

As of June 30, 2012 and 2013, there were approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years and 2.2 years, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 was approximately $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

10. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN:

During February 2012, our stockholders approved a proposal to amend our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”) to increase the number of shares available under that plan by 500,000 shares. The Stock Purchase Plan as amended provides for up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be available for purchase by our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service. In addition, there were 52,837 shares of common stock available under our 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which have been made available for issuance under our Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for implementation of up to 10 annual offerings beginning on the first day of October starting in 2008, with each offering terminating on September 30 of the following year. Each annual offering may be divided into two six-month offerings. For each offering, the purchase price per share will be the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the offering or (ii) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the last day of the offering. The purchase price is paid through periodic payroll deductions not to exceed 10% of the participant’s earnings during each offering period. However, no participant may purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock annually.

We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted to purchase shares issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

11. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS:

We have granted non-vested (restricted) stock awards (“restricted stock”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain key employees pursuant to the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock awards have varying vesting periods, but generally become fully vested at either the end of year four or the end of year five, depending on the specific award. Certain restricted stock awards granted in fiscal 2008 required certain levels of performance by us by September 2011 before they were earned; these metrics were not met, and the awards were forfeited. Certain RSUs granted in fiscal 2010, 2011, and 2012 require a minimum level of performance of our stock price compared with an index over designated time periods from the grant date before they are earned, or the awards will be forfeited. The stock underlying the RSUs will be delivered upon vesting. The performance metrics for the RSUs granted in fiscal 2010 were not met by the September 2012 measurement date, and the awards were forfeited.

We accounted for the restricted stock awards granted using the measurement and recognition provisions of ASC 718. Accordingly, the fair value of the restricted stock awards is measured on the grant date and recognized in earnings over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, there were 1,435,348 and 1,355,712 weighted average shares of options outstanding, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock, and therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, there were 1,499,042 and 1,802,040 weighted average shares of options outstanding, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock, and therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

We are party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to determine the actual outcome of these actions as of June 30, 2013, we do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2013 we recognized a recovery of approximately $7.0 million from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program for damages suffered as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The recovery was recorded as a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. While additional claims are outstanding, we cannot be certain of the amount of any further recovery.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our plans to resume our growth through acquisitions and new store openings when more normal economic conditions return; our ability to capitalize on our core strengths to substantially outperform the industry and result in market share gains; our ability to align our retailing strategies with the desire of consumers; our belief that the steps we have taken to address weak market conditions will yield an increase in future revenue; and our expectations that our core strengths and retailing strategies will position us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur and will allow us to emerge from the current challenging economic environment with greater earnings potential. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

General

We are the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States with fiscal 2012 revenue in excess of $520 million. Through our current 54 retail locations in 18 states, we sell new and used recreational boats and related marine products, including engines, trailers, parts, and accessories. We also arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts; provide boat repair and maintenance services; offer yacht and boat brokerage services; and, where available, offer slip and storage accommodations. We recently implemented programs to increase our sale over the Internet of used boats and a wide range of boating parts, accessories, supplies, and products; the sale of boats, boating parts, and accessories, as well as the offer of finance and insurance, or F&I, products at various offsite locations; and the charter of power and sailing yachts in the British Virgin Islands. None of these recently implemented programs have had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

MarineMax was incorporated in January 1998. We commenced operations with the acquisition of five independent recreational boat dealers on March 1, 1998. Since the initial acquisitions in March 1998, we have acquired 23 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair facilities. As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with various recreational boat dealers regarding their potential acquisition by us. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including, in some cases, management succession and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated. We completed one relatively small acquisition to date in fiscal 2013 and in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2012.

General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated 54%, 50%, and 49% of our revenue during fiscal 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, military base closings, inclement weather such as Hurricane Sandy, environmental conditions, and specific events, such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, also could adversely affect our operations in certain markets.

In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence has a negative effect on our business.

Table of Contents

Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007, and continued weakness in consumer spending and depressed economic conditions had a substantial negative effect on our business in each subsequent fiscal year. These conditions caused us to substantially reduce our acquisition program, delay new store openings, reduce our inventory purchases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close a number of our retail locations, reduce our headcount, and amend and replace our credit facility. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we plan to resume our growth through these strategies when more normal economic conditions return. However, we cannot predict the length or severity of these unfavorable economic or financial conditions or the extent to which they will continue to adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment or whether additional measures will be necessary.

Although economic conditions have adversely affected our operating results, we have capitalized on our core strengths to substantially outperform the industry, resulting in market share gains. Our ability to capture such market share supports the alignment of our retailing strategies with the desires of consumers. We believe the steps we have taken to address weak market conditions will yield an increase in future revenue. As general economic trends improve, we expect our core strengths and retailing strategies will position us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur and will allow us to emerge from this challenging economic environment with greater earnings potential.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or the service is completed. We recognize deferred revenue from service operations and slip and storage services on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or when service is completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. We recognize commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing when we recognize the related boat sales. We recognize marketing fees earned on credit life, accident, disability, gap, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the insurance product as evidenced by contract execution or when the related boat sale is recognized. We also recognize commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms as evidenced by contract execution or recognition of the related boat sale.

Certain finance and extended warranty commissions and marketing fees on insurance products may be charged back if a customer terminates or defaults on the underlying contract within a specified period of time. Based upon our experience of terminations and defaults, we maintain a chargeback allowance that was not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2013. Should results differ materially from our historical experiences, we would need to modify our estimate of future chargebacks, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating margins.

Vendor Consideration Received

We account for consideration received from our vendors in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 605-50, “Revenue Recognition—Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). ASC 605-50 requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. Pursuant to ASC 605-50, amounts received by us under our co-op assistance programs from our manufacturers are netted against related advertising expenses.

Inventories

Inventory costs consist of the amount paid to acquire inventory, net of vendor consideration and purchase discounts, the cost of equipment added, reconditioning costs, and transportation costs relating to acquiring inventory for sale. We state new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or market. We state parts and accessories at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or market. We utilize our historical experience, the aging of the inventories, and our consideration of current market trends as the basis for determining a lower of cost or market valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, our lower of cost or market valuation allowance was $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, the lower of cost or market valuation allowance could increase.

Goodwill

We account for goodwill in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), which provides that the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. The acquisitions of Bassett Marine, LLC and Parker Boat Company resulted in goodwill of $800,000. In accordance with ASC 350, we review goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable Our annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value we would recognize an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 350.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-40, “Property, Plant, and Equipment—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10-40”), requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-40 is permanent and may not be restored. Based upon our most recent analysis, we believe no impairment of long-lived assets existed at June 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to ASC 740, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. Under the provisions of ASC 740-10, we determined that our net deferred tax asset needed to be fully reserved given recent earnings and industry trends.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation plans following the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we use the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. For restricted stock units with market conditions, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation embedded in a lattice model to determine the fair value. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in operations, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 with the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenue. Revenue increased $24.4 million, or 16.1%, to 175.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $151.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Of this increase, $24.2 million was attributable to a 16.4% increase in comparable-store sales. The increase in our comparable-store sales was due to incremental new boat sales, partly attributable to new brands we are now carrying, and incremental sales of used boats and F&I products. Improving industry conditions resulting from improved economic conditions contributed to our comparable-store sales growth, which was partially offset by the persistent unfavorable weather conditions and the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy, which adversely impacted our northern markets.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6.5 million, or 16.2%, to $46.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $40.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue remained consistent at approximately 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in comparable-store sales.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 4.7%, to $33.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The three months ended June 30, 2013 included a recovery recognized of approximately $7.0 million from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program for damages suffered as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Excluding this item and making both periods comparable, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $5.4 million, or 15.6%, to $40.1 million and as a percentage of revenue decreased to 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The overall increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased commissions resulting from increased boat sales; increased insurance costs related to property, casualty, liability and healthcare; and increased promotional spending in an effort to counteract the inclement weather conditions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $175,000, or 17.1%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue remained consistent at approximately 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increased borrowings under our credit facilities due to increased average inventories.

Income Tax Benefit. We had an income tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with no income tax benefit or expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The tax benefit was for a favorable tax settlement with a state where we operate. Our effective income tax rate was low for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. For fiscal 2013, to the extent we generate taxable income; the income tax expense would be offset by the utilization of the fully reserved net operating loss carryforward.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared with Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenue. Revenue increased $47.7 million, or 12.3%, to $434.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $387.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Of this increase, $48.6 million was attributable to a 12.8% increase in comparable-store sales. The increase in our comparable-store sales was due to incremental new boat sales, partly attributable to new brands we are now carrying, and incremental sales of used boats and F&I products. Improving industry conditions resulting from improved economic conditions contributed to our comparable-store sales growth, which was partially offset by the persistent unfavorable weather conditions and the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy, which adversely impacted our northern markets.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $10.5 million, or 10.5%, to $110.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $100.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 25.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from 25.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in comparable-store sales. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily a result of the product mix shift in our boat sales to larger, generally lower margin, yachts for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million, or 4.6%, to $98.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $94.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The nine months ended June 30, 2013 included a recovery recognized of approximately $7.0 million from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program for damages suffered as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Excluding this item and making both periods comparable, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $11.4 million, or 12.1%, to $105.6 million and as a percentage of revenue remained consistent at approximately 24.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The overall increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased commissions resulting from increased boat sales; increased insurance costs related to property, casualty, liability and healthcare; and increased promotional spending in an effort to counteract the inclement weather conditions in our northern markets. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred costs related to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy that were largely offset by insurance proceeds received.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $82,000, or 2.4%, to $3.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 from 0.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased borrowings under our credit facilities due to decreased average inventories.

Income Tax Benefit. We had an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with an income tax benefit of $116,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The tax benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was for a favorable tax settlement with a state where we operate. Our effective income tax rate was low for both the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. For fiscal 2013, to the extent we generate taxable income; the income tax expense would be offset by the utilization of the fully reserved net operating loss carryforward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations, including new and used boat and related parts inventories, off-season liquidity, and growth through acquisitions and new store openings. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we plan to resume our growth through these strategies when more normal economic conditions return. However, we cannot predict the length or severity of these unfavorable economic or financial conditions. We regularly monitor the aging of our inventories and current market trends to evaluate our current and future inventory needs. We also use this evaluation in conjunction with our review of our current and expected operating performance and expected business levels to determine the adequacy of our financing needs.

 

19


Table of Contents

These cash needs have historically been financed with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to utilize our credit facilities to fund operations depends upon the collateral levels and compliance with the covenants of the credit facilities. Turmoil in the credit markets and weakness in the retail markets may interfere with our ability to remain in compliance with the covenants of the credit facilities and therefore our ability to utilize the credit facilities to fund operations. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facilities. We currently depend upon dividends and other payments from our dealerships and our credit facilities to fund our current operations and meet our cash needs. As 100% owner of each of our dealerships, we determine the amounts of such distributions, and currently, no agreements exist that restrict this flow of funds from our dealerships.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, cash used in operating activities was approximately $389,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $23.5 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, cash used in operating activities was primarily related to an increase of inventory driven by timing of boats received and an increase in accounts receivable primarily as a result of the recovery from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program, partially offset by net income and an increase in customer deposits as a result of large yachts that were sold on order. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to a decrease of inventory driven by inventory order reductions and partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of our strong June close.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, cash used in investing activities was approximately $10.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, cash used in investing activities was primarily used to purchase inventory associated with a business acquisition and to purchase property and equipment associated with improving existing retail facilities and making repairs as a result of Hurricane Sandy and partially offset by insurance proceeds received as a result of Hurricane Sandy. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities was primarily used to purchase property and equipment associated with improving existing retail facilities.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $24.7 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in financing activities was approximately $5.8 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in short-term borrowings as a result of increased average inventory levels. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to net payments on our short-term borrowings.

In June 2013, we entered into an amendment to our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “amended Credit Facility”), originally entered into in June 2010, as subsequently amended, with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation. The June 2013 amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to June 2016, subject to additional extension for two one-year periods, with lender approval. The June 2013 amendment, among other things, also added additional lenders and modified the amount of borrowing availability, interest rate, and maturity date of the Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of up to $205 million, an increase from the previous limit of $150 million, subject to borrowing base availability resulting from the amount and aging of our inventory.

The amended Credit Facility has certain financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the amended Credit Facility. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the amended Credit Facility is now 355 basis points above the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) a reduction of 28 basis points from the prior amendment. There is an unused line fee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the amended Credit Facility.

Advances under the amended Credit Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory mature 1,081 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting after six months. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type and value of the inventory. The collateral for the amended Credit Facility is all of our personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the amended Credit Facility.

In July 2012, we entered into an extension through August 31, 2013 to our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “CGI Facility”), originally entered into in October 2010 with CGI Finance, Inc., as extended in September 2011. The CGI Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of $30 million and is designed to provide financing for our Azimut Yacht inventory needs. The CGI Facility’s one-year term is typical in the industry for similar floor plan facilities; however, each advance under the CGI Facility can remain outstanding for 18 months. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the CGI Facility is 350 basis points above the one-month LIBOR.

Advances under the CGI Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that has been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory mature 550 days from the advance date. Advances on used inventory mature 366 days from the advance date. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis, starting after six months for used inventory and one year for new inventory. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type of inventory.

The collateral for the CGI Facility is our entire Azimut Yacht inventory financed by the CGI Facility with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged as collateral for the CGI Facility. We must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants as specified in the CGI Facility. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the CGI Facility. The CGI Facility contemplates that other lenders may be added by us to finance other inventory not financed under the CGI Facility, if needed.

As of June 30, 2013, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs totaled approximately $142.3 million. At both June 30, 2013 and 2012, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 4.0%. At June 30, 2013, our additional available borrowings under our amended Credit Facility and CGI Facility were approximately $16.6 million based upon the outstanding borrowing base availability. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages.

We issued a total of 548,862 shares of our common stock in conjunction with our Incentive Stock Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 for approximately $3.0 million in cash. Our Incentive Stock Plans provide for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to acquire our common stock, the grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units, the grant of common stock, the grant of stock appreciation rights, and the grant of other cash awards to key personnel, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and others providing valuable services to us. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan is available to all our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service.

Except as specified in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have no material commitments for capital for the next 12 months. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, except for possible significant acquisitions.

Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Operations

Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales and higher levels of inventories, and related short-term borrowings, in the quarterly periods ending December 31 and March 31. The onset of the public boat and recreation shows in January stimulates boat sales and typically allows us to reduce our inventory levels and related short-term borrowings throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Our business could become substantially more seasonal if we acquire dealers that operate in colder regions of the United States or close retail locations in warm climates.

Table of Contents

Our business is also subject to weather patterns, which may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, drought conditions (or merely reduced rainfall levels) or excessive rain, may close area boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products and services. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and facilities, as has been the case when Florida and other markets were affected by hurricanes. Although our geographic diversity is likely to reduce the overall impact to us of adverse weather conditions in any one market area, these conditions will continue to represent potential, material adverse risks to us and our future financial performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At June 30, 2013, all of our short-term debt bore interest at a variable rate, tied to LIBOR as a reference rate. Changes in the underlying LIBOR interest rate on our short-term debt could affect our earnings. For example, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on our short-term debt would result in an increase of approximately $1.4 million in annual pre-tax interest expense. This estimated increase is based upon the outstanding balance of our short-term debt as of June 30, 2013 and assumes no mitigating changes by us to reduce the outstanding balances and no additional interest assistance that could be received from vendors due to the interest rate increase.

Products purchased from European-based and Chinese-based manufacturers are subject to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate, which ultimately may impact the retail price at which we can sell such products. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of the other currencies compared with the U.S. dollar may impact the price points at which we can profitably sell such foreign products, and such price points may not be competitive with other product lines in the United States. Accordingly, such fluctuations in exchange rates ultimately may impact the amount of revenue, cost of goods sold, cash flows, and earnings we recognize for such foreign product lines. We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. In certain cases, we may enter into foreign currency cash flow hedges to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with forecasted purchases of boats and yachts from European-based and Chinese-based manufacturers. We are not currently engaged in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions to manage our foreign currency exposure. If and when we do engage in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions, we cannot assure that our strategies will adequately protect our operating results from the effects of exchange rate fluctuations.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Although our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 26, 2012, certain former shareholders of Surfside—3 Marina, Inc., a company we acquired in March 2006, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, naming our company and certain of our directors and officers as defendants. The lawsuit alleged, in twelve counts, a failure to timely lift stock transfer restrictions on stock acquired by the plaintiffs in the acquisition, which allegedly delayed the plaintiffs from selling the shares while the defendants sold shares in the marketplace. The lawsuit claimed damages in excess of $7 million. On December 3, 2012, the District Court issued an order dismissing all of our directors and officers from the action and dismissing eleven of the twelve counts, leaving only the breach of contract claim against our company to proceed and allowing the plaintiff to replead their alleged common law fraud claim within 30 days. On January 3, 2013, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, re-alleging their breach of contract claim, as well as three fraud claims against our company and certain directors and officers. The Second Amended Complaint alleges damages in excess of $10 million. On March 7, 2013, the District Court issued an order dismissing the three fraud claims against our company and our directors and officers. On March 21, 2013, we filed an Answer to the Second Amended Complaint, denying any liability to plaintiffs. On July 15, 2013, we filed a motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiffs’ remaining breach of contract claim against our company. That motion was fully briefed and submitted to the District Court for decision on August 5, 2013. Based on our assessment, we believe the remaining portion of the case is without merit and, as a result, should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

(b) Floor Plan Advances . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CDF agrees to thereafter make available to Dealers extensions of credit on a revolving basis in such amounts as Dealers may from time to time request up to an aggregate total of two hundred five million dollars ($205,000,000.00) (the “ Maximum Credit Amount ”), minus (i) the outstanding amount of Approvals (as defined below) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of any other Obligations of Dealers to CDF, to purchase inventory, which will be subject to a purchase money security interest in favor of CDF, from Dealers’ existing vendors identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement and any additional vendors acceptable to CDF in its sole discretion (such existing vendors and additional vendors, in each case until any such vendor shall be disapproved by written notice from CDF due to (x) such vendor’s failure to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or decree; (y) such vendor’s failure to comply with any internal policies and procedures of CDF or any CDF Affiliate (as defined below) relating to import or export controls, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, securities law, banking law or regulation, fraud statutes and other similar laws and regulations and codes of ethical conduct (collectively, “ Internal Policies ”); or (z) any circumstance which may make CDF’s disbursement of any advance to such vendor illegal or otherwise in violation of any law, rule, regulation, order or decree applicable to CDF or any Internal Policies, each, a “ Vendor ” and, collectively, “ Vendors ”) and for other purposes (including the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit described below); provided , however , that (1) repayments from time to time of the outstanding balance of the indebtedness hereunder shall be available to be reborrowed pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (2) if the Obligations hereunder outstanding at any time or from time to time exceed the Maximum Credit Amount, Dealers shall immediately (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) repay the Obligations in such amount necessary to eliminate such excess; provided that, in its reasonable discretion, CDF may immediately cease to make loans and/or to issue Approvals until such repayment occurs, and (3) notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, (I) CDF may, in its reasonable discretion, immediately cease to make loans and/or to issue Approvals (x) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both would result in a Default, or (y) if any remittance for any Obligations is dishonored when first presented for payment, until such payment is honored; and (II) upon termination of this Agreement, Dealers shall repay to CDF all Obligations hereunder, plus interest accrued to the date of payment. If a Vendor is disapproved for any reason set forth above, such disapproval will only affect Dealers’ ability to request, and CDF’s obligation to fund, subsequent advances and will not require immediate repayment of previous advances with respect to inventory purchased from such disapproved Vendor. As of the Closing Date, all outstanding advances under the Existing Financing Agreement shall be deemed advances under this Agreement.

(c) Pre-Owned Inventory Advances and Sublimits .

(d) Advance Rates; Approvals . The advance rates with respect to pre-owned inventory as well as additional details of the financing program are set forth in any program terms letter executed by the parties hereto from time to time (collectively, the “ Program Terms Letter ”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. An “ Approval ” shall be defined as CDF’s indication to a Vendor that CDF is willing to provide financing to Dealers with respect to a particular invoice or invoices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any particular Vendor shall be the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding, then CDF may reduce the applicable advance rates set forth in the Program Terms Letter with respect to any inventory sold by such Vendor after the date of such proceeding by up to ten percent (10%), or twenty percent (20%) for inventory that has a value in excess of $750,000. This Agreement concerns the extension of credit, and not the provision of goods or services.

(e) Re-Advances . Subject to the overall Maximum Credit Amount set forth above and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on and after the Closing Date, CDF agrees to make cash advances to Dealers with respect to units of inventory (excluding used or pre-owned inventory) financed by CDF pursuant to Section 1(a) or 1(b) of this Agreement for which Dealers may have previously made payments to CDF; provided that such units of inventory have not previously been repaid in full, and further provided such cash advances shall not exceed (a) 100% of the original invoice amount with respect to such units, less (b) any curtailment amounts that have been required to be made by cash payment, offset, application of a Curtailment Offset under and as defined in that certain [****], dated the date hereof, between CDF and Dealers (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “[****]”), or otherwise with respect to such units; provided , further , that such cash advances, in the aggregate, shall not exceed the Re-Advance Sublimit specified in the Program Terms Letter or, if not specified in such Program Terms Letter, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Maximum Credit Amount within any thirty (30) day period.

2. Financing Terms . Certain financial terms of any advance which CDF makes under this Agreement are set forth in the Program Terms Letter. In connection with financing an item of inventory for any Dealer, CDF will transmit or otherwise send to Dealer a “ Transaction Statement ” which is a record that may be authenticated and transmitted by CDF to such Dealer from time to time which identifies the Collateral financed and/or the advance made and the terms and conditions of repayment of such advance as provided in this Agreement. Dealers agree that a Dealer’s failure to notify CDF in writing of any objection to a Transaction Statement within thirty (30) days after a Transaction Statement is transmitted or otherwise sent to such Dealer shall constitute Dealers’ (a) acceptance thereof, (b) agreement that CDF is financing such inventory at Dealers’ request, and (c) agreement that such Transaction Statement will be incorporated herein by reference to the extent not inconsistent with the terms hereof. To the extent any Transaction Statement is inconsistent with the terms hereof, this Agreement (including any applicable Program Terms Letter) shall govern and control. If any Dealer objects to any Transaction Statement, such Dealer and CDF will work in good faith to resolve such objection within sixty (60) days after the applicable Transaction Statement is transmitted or otherwise sent to such Dealer. However, notwithstanding such objection, Dealers will pay CDF for such inventory in accordance with this Agreement. With respect to any advance CDF makes to a Vendor on behalf of a Dealer, CDF may apply against any such amount owed to Vendor any amount CDF is owed from such Vendor with respect to Free Floor Periods (each, a “ CDF Credit ”) or any other amounts CDF is owed from such Vendor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dealers agree to pay the full amount reflected on any Transaction Statement.

Such insurance shall be subject to cancellation or change only (i) upon ten (10) days written notice to CDF for non-payment of premium or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice to CDF for all other reasons, and shall provide that CDF’s interests will not be impaired by any failure of Dealers to comply with the terms of such insurance or by any exercise of remedies by CDF with respect to the property insured. With respect to any claim during the continuance of any Default, CDF is authorized, but not required, to act as attorney-in-fact for each Dealer in adjusting and settling any insurance claims under any such policy and in endorsing any checks or drafts drawn by insurers. To facilitate the exercise of such rights by CDF, each Dealer has executed and delivered to CDF a Power of Attorney, which CDF agrees not to exercise any rights under unless a Default has occurred and is continuing. In addition, at any time (before and after the occurrence of any Default), (A) each Dealer shall promptly remit to CDF in the form received, with all necessary endorsements, all proceeds of such insurance which such Dealer may receive, and (B) CDF, at its election, shall either apply any proceeds of insurance it may receive toward payment of the Obligations or pay such proceeds to such Dealer or any other Dealer.

(b) Except as otherwise required by Section 6(a) of this Agreement, Dealers shall (i) keep their insurable property adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers to such extent and against such risks, including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is customary with companies similarly situated and in the same or similar businesses, (ii) maintain in full force and effect public liability and workers compensation insurance, in amounts customary for such similar companies to cover normal risks, by insurers reasonably satisfactory to CDF, and (iii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law or reasonably requested by CDF. Dealers shall deliver evidence of renewal of each insurance policy on or before the date of its expiration, and from time to time shall deliver to CDF, on or before the date hereof, and thereafter upon demand, evidence of the maintenance of such insurance. Dealers shall delivery promptly to CDF copies of all reports provided to insurers by any Dealer.

(c) The following notice is given pursuant to Section 180/15 of the Collateral Protection Act set forth in Chapter 815 Section 180/1 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes; nothing contained in such notice shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of this Agreement: UNLESS DEALER PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY DEALERS’ AGREEMENT WITH CDF, CDF MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT DEALERS’ EXPENSE TO PROTECT CDF’S INTEREST IN SUCH DEALER’S COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT SUCH DEALER’S INTEREST. THE COVERAGE THAT CDF PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH DEALER MAKES OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST SUCH DEALER IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. SUCH DEALER MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY CDF, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING CDF EVIDENCE THAT SUCH DEALER HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IF CDF PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR ANY COLLATERAL, DEALERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES CDF MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO DEALERS’ TOTAL OUTSTANDING BALANCE OR OBLIGATION. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE A DEALER MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN.

7. Financial Statements . Unless waived by CDF, Dealers will deliver to CDF, in a form reasonably satisfactory to CDF: (a) Dealers’ audited year-end balance sheet and audited annual profit and loss statement for each fiscal year after the date hereof, prepared on a consolidated basis, within twenty (20) days after the same are prepared but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, accompanied by an unqualified opinion of independent certified public accountants acceptable to CDF; (b) within sixty (60) days after the end of each of such Dealers’ fiscal quarters, a reasonably detailed balance sheet and income statement as of the last day of such quarter covering Dealers’ operations on a consolidated basis for such quarter; (c) within thirty (30) days after the end of Dealers’ fiscal months, a reasonably detailed balance sheet and income statement as of the last day of such month covering Dealers’ operations for such month, on a consolidated basis; (d) within thirty (30) days prior to Dealers’ year-end, Dealers’ financial projections for the next fiscal year on a consolidated basis; (e) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements required to be delivered under clauses (a) and (b), above, a compliance certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, executed by an officer of Dealers, and (f) within ten (10) days after CDF’s reasonable request, any other information relating to the Collateral or the financial condition of any Dealer or Dealers. Each Dealer represents that all financial statements and information which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Dealers are and will be true and correct in all material respects and, with respect to all quarterly and annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied in all material respects, and there has been no material adverse change in the financial or business condition of Dealers, taken as a whole, since the submission to CDF of such financial statements, and Dealers acknowledge CDF’s reliance thereon.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    13   


8. Payment Terms . Each Dealer will pay CDF the principal amount of the Obligations owed CDF on each item of Collateral financed by CDF upon the occurrence of any of the following events, subject to the Program Terms Letter: (a) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is the subject of an insurance claim payable to CDF as loss payee, (i) a portion of the principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral equal to such principal amount, minus the insurance claim amount (net of any applicable deductible) immediately after such loss or damage or after the determination of the claim amount or the deductible amount, as applicable, and (ii) the remaining principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral immediately upon the earlier of (A) receipt of any proceeds of such insurance (including, without limitation, receipt of any proceeds made payable to such Dealer and CDF jointly) or rejection or denial of such claim and (B) thirty (30) days (or such later date as CDF may agree in writing) after such loss or damage; (b) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is not the subject of an insurance claim payable to CDF as loss payee, immediately after such loss or damage; (c) when Collateral is sold, transferred, rented, leased, consigned (unless Dealer has complied with CDF’s documentation requirements and CDF has consented in writing to such consignment arrangement), otherwise disposed of, or its payment term has matured, immediately upon the earlier of (i) Dealer’s receipt of the proceeds thereof, and (ii) seven (7) calendar days after such occurrence; and (d) when otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each Dealer will pay CDF the required principal amount of the Obligations owed CDF on each item of Collateral financed by CDF in strict accordance with any curtailment schedule or other curtailment or repayment provisions for such Collateral as described in the Program Terms Letter. The initial payment terms, curtailment terms and advance rates with respect to Dealers’ financing program hereunder are set forth in the Program Terms Letter. Subsequent financing program terms, or changes to Dealers’ then current financing program terms, may be set forth in an amended Program Terms Letter executed by the parties hereto. If a Dealer is required to make immediate payment to CDF of any past due obligation discovered during any Collateral review, or at any other time, CDF’s acceptance of such payment shall not be construed to have waived or amended the terms of its financing program. Each Dealer will send all payments to CDF as directed. CDF may apply: (1) payments to reduce finance charges first and then principal, regardless of a Dealer’s instructions; and (2) principal payments to the oldest (earliest) invoice for Collateral financed by CDF, but, in any event, all principal payments, may, in CDF’s sole discretion, first be applied to such Collateral which is sold, lost, stolen, damaged, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of or unaccounted for. Any Vendor Credit granted to any Dealer for any Collateral will not reduce the Obligations Dealers owe CDF until CDF has received payment therefor in cash. Each Dealer will: (A) pay CDF even if any Collateral is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; and (B) indemnify and hold CDF harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any buyer of any Collateral. Each Dealer waives all rights of setoff such Dealer may have against CDF. Any payment hereunder which would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, with such extension of time included in any calculation of applicable finance charges. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement, in order to adequately secure Dealers’ Obligations to CDF, Dealers shall, at CDF’s request, immediately pay CDF the amount necessary to reduce the sum of outstanding advances hereunder to an amount which does not exceed the amount available to be borrowed pursuant to the provisions of the Program Terms Letter. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Business Day ” means any day the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is open for the transaction of business.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    14   


9. Calculation of Charges .

(a) Dealers shall pay fees, charges and interest (collectively, “ Charges ”) with respect to each advance in accordance with this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Program Terms Letter. Dealers shall pay CDF its customary Charges for any check or other item which is returned unpaid to CDF. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Charges: (i) any reference to “ One month Libor ” rate shall mean for any calendar month the “One month Libor” rate published in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of such month; (ii) all Charges shall be paid by Dealers monthly pursuant to the terms of the billing statement in which such Charges appear; (iii) interest on each advance and principal amount of the Obligations related thereto shall be computed each calendar month on the sum of the daily balances thereof during such month divided by thirty (30) and (A) in the case where a monthly rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by the monthly rate provided for in this Agreement; or (B) in the case where an annual rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by one-twelfth of the annual rate provided for in this Agreement; or (C) in the case where a daily rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by such daily rate and multiplied by thirty (30); (iv) interest on an advance shall begin to accrue on the Start Date which shall be defined as the earlier of: (A) the invoice date referred to in the Vendor’s invoice; or (B) the ship date referred to in the Vendor’s invoice; or (C) the date CDF makes such advance; provided , however , if a Vendor fails to fully pay, by honoring or paying any CDF Credit or otherwise, the interest or other cost of financing such inventory during the period between the Start Date and the end of the Free Floor Period (as defined below), then Dealers shall pay such interest to CDF on demand as if there were no Free Floor Period with respect to such inventory; (v) for the purpose of computing Charges, any payment will be credited pursuant to CDF’s payment recognition policy, as in effect from time to time; and (vi) advances or any part thereof not paid when due (and Charges not paid when due, at the option of CDF, shall become part of the principal amount of the Obligations and) shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: “ Default Rate ” shall mean the lesser of 3% per annum above the rate in effect immediately prior to the Default or the highest lawful contract rate of interest permitted under applicable law; “ Free Floor Period ” shall mean a period equal to the number of days during which a Vendor agrees to assume the cost of financing Collateral purchased by a Dealer by granting CDF a CDF Credit.

(b) CDF intends to strictly conform to the usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein, in any Transaction Statement, or in any other document, CDF shall never be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If CDF ever receives any amount which, if considered to be interest, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, CDF will apply such excess amount to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance which any Dealer owes, and then will pay any remaining excess to such Dealer. In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the highest lawful rate, Dealers and CDF shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (1) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (2) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof, and (3) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term. CDF will recognize and credit payments made by check, ACH, federal wire, or other acceptable means, according to its payment recognition policies from time to time in effect, or as otherwise agreed. Information regarding CDF payment recognition policies is available from Dealers’ CDF representative or the CDF website, or will be communicated pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    15   


10. Billing Statement/Fees; Right to Modify Charges and Other Terms .

(a) CDF will transmit or otherwise send to each Dealer a monthly billing statement identifying all charges due on such Dealer’s account with CDF. The charges specified on each billing statement will be (1) due and payable no later than the fifteenth (15 th ) day of the month in which such billing statement is transmitted to or received by Dealer, and (2) an account stated, unless CDF receives a Dealer’s written objection thereto within fifteen (15) days after it is transmitted or otherwise sent to Dealers. If CDF does not receive, by the 25 th day of any given month, payment of all charges accrued to a Dealer’s account with CDF during the immediately preceding month, Dealers will (to the extent allowed by law and if requested by CDF) pay CDF a late fee equal to the greater of five dollars ($5.00) or five percent (5%) of the amount of such charges (payment of such fee does not waive the default caused by the late payment). CDF may adjust the billing statement at any time to conform to applicable law and this Agreement.

(b) CDF may charge one or more fees in connection with the servicing and administration of a Dealer’s account, as set forth herein and in the Program Terms Letter.

11. Default . The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Dealers (a “ Default ”):

(a) a Dealer shall either (1) fail to pay any principal amount of Obligations owed to CDF when due (without any grace period) or (2) fail to pay any interest or other Obligations owed to CDF within fifteen (15) days after the due date therefore;

(b) any representation made to CDF by or on behalf of Dealers shall not be true when made;

(c) if a Dealer shall breach any covenant (other than any covenant contained in Section 5(c) of this Agreement), warranty or agreement to or with CDF and such breach shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) knowledge thereof by an officer of any Dealer and (ii) written notice of such breach is delivered by CDF to any Dealer; provided that, if such breach is subject to cure and Dealers are diligently pursuing cure by appropriate means at the end of such thirty (30) days, then Dealers shall have an additional thirty (30) days thereafter to complete the cure of such breach; provided , however , that, if such breach is of the covenant contained in Section 5(h) of this Agreement, the cure periods set forth herein shall not apply and such breach shall immediately result in a Default hereunder;

(d) Dealers shall breach any covenant contained in Section 5(c) of this Agreement as of the end of two (2) consecutive fiscal months or as of the end of more than two (2) months in any twelve (12) month period;

(e) a Dealer (including, if a Dealer is a partnership or limited liability company, any partner or member of a Dealer) shall die, become insolvent or generally fail to pay its debts as they become due or, if a business, shall cease to do business as a going concern other than mergers or consolidations permitted by Section 5(d)(iv) of this Agreement;

(f) any letter of credit provided by a Dealer to CDF with respect to any Obligations or Collateral shall terminate or not be renewed at least sixty (60) days prior to its stated expiration or maturity;

(g) a Dealer abandons any Collateral with an aggregate value exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) in any twelve (12) month period;

Inventory Financing Agreement    17   


12. Rights and Remedies Upon Default . Upon the occurrence of a Default, CDF shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction and other applicable law and all the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Default, CDF may terminate any obligations it has under this Agreement and any outstanding credit approvals immediately and/or declare any and all Obligations immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Each Dealer waives notice of intent to accelerate, and of acceleration of any Obligations. Upon the occurrence of a Default, CDF may exercise control over any Deposit Accounts (as defined in Article 9 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code) included in the Collateral and apply any balances on deposit therein to the Obligations in such order and amount as CDF may elect. Upon the occurrence of a Default, CDF may enter any premises of any one or more of Dealers, with or without process of law, without force, to search for, take possession of, and remove the Collateral, or any part thereof. Upon the occurrence of a Default, if CDF requests, each Dealer shall cease disposition of and shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to CDF, at Dealers’ expense, at a convenient place or places designated by CDF. Upon the occurrence of a Default, CDF may take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof on any one or more of Dealers’ premises and cause it to remain there at Dealers’ expense, pending sale or other disposition. Each Dealer agrees that the sale of inventory by CDF to a person who is liable to CDF under a guaranty, endorsement, repurchase agreement or the like shall not be deemed to be a transfer subject to UCC §9-618 or any similar provision of any other applicable law, and each Dealer waives any provision of such laws to that effect. Each Dealer agrees that the repurchase of inventory by a Vendor pursuant to a repurchase agreement with CDF shall be a commercially reasonable method of disposition. Dealers shall be jointly and severally liable to CDF for any deficiency resulting from CDF’s disposition of any Collateral, including without limitation a repurchase by a Vendor, regardless of any subsequent disposition thereof. No Dealer is a beneficiary of, nor has any right to require CDF to enforce, any repurchase agreement. Any notice of a disposition shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given to a Dealer at least ten (10) days before such disposition. If a Dealer fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, CDF may perform the same in any form or manner CDF in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable, and all monies paid by CDF in connection therewith shall be additional Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable without notice together with interest payable on demand at the Default Rate. All of CDF’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative. At CDF’s request, or without request in the event of an Automatic Default, each Dealer shall pay all Vendor Credits to CDF as soon as the same are received for application to the Obligations. Each Dealer authorizes CDF to collect such amounts directly from Vendors and, upon request of CDF, shall instruct Vendors to pay CDF directly. Each Dealer irrevocably waives any requirement that CDF retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after an arbitration hearing, arbitration award, confirmation, trial or final judgment or appeal thereof. During the continuation of a Default, CDF’s election to extend or not extend credit to a Dealer is solely at CDF’s discretion. If a Default is in effect, and without regard to whether CDF has accelerated any Obligations, CDF may, without notice, apply the Default Rate.

13. Power of Attorney . Each Dealer authorizes CDF to: (a) file financing statements describing CDF as “Secured Party,” such Dealer as “Debtor” and indicating the Collateral; (b) authenticate, execute or endorse on behalf of such Dealer any instruments, chattel paper, certificates of title, manufacturer statements of origin, builder’s certificate, financing statements and amendments thereto, or other notices or records comprising or related to Collateral or evidencing financing under the Agreement or evidencing or maintaining the perfection of the security interest granted hereby, as attorney-in-fact for such Dealer; and (c) supply any omitted information and correct errors in any documents between CDF and such Dealer. This power of attorney and the other powers of attorney granted herein are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    18   


14. Collection and Other Costs . Dealers shall pay to CDF on demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by CDF in connection with establishing, perfecting, maintaining perfection of, protecting and enforcing its Lien on the Collateral and collecting any Obligations, or in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and any modification thereof, any Default or in connection with any action or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or incurred pursuant to an arbitration proceeding involving a Dealer or any Collateral. All fees, expenses, costs and other amounts described in this Section 14 shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate.

15. Information . Each Dealer irrevocably authorizes CDF to investigate and make inquiries of former, current, or future creditors or other persons and credit bureaus regarding or relating to Dealers (including, to the extent permitted by law, any equity holders of any Dealer, unless the equity of such Dealer is publicly-traded on a recognized exchange). CDF may provide to any CDF Affiliate or any third parties any financial, credit or other information regarding Dealers that CDF may at any time possess, whether such information was supplied by Dealers to CDF or otherwise obtained by CDF. Further, each Dealer irrevocably authorizes and instructs any third parties (including without limitation, any Vendors or customers of Dealers) to provide to CDF any credit, financial or other information regarding Dealers that such third parties may at any time possess, whether such information was supplied by any Dealer to such third parties or otherwise obtained by such third parties.

16. Dealers’ Claims Against Vendors . No Dealer will assert against CDF any claim or defense such Dealer may have against any Vendor whether for breach of contract, warranty, misrepresentation, failure to ship, lack of authority, or otherwise, including without limitation claims or defenses based upon charge backs, credit memos, rebates, price protection payments or returns. Any such claims or defenses or other claims or defenses a Dealer may have against a Vendor shall not affect Dealers’ liabilities or obligations to CDF.

17. Term and Termination . Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and continue until June 28, 2016 and, if CDF provides written notice to Dealers of CDF’s intent to renew the current term at least (ninety) 90 days prior to the end of the then current term, at CDF’s sole election and subject to Dealer’s consent, the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for up to two successive one year periods thereafter. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Obligations to CDF hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Upon any termination, Dealers shall remain fully and jointly and severally liable to CDF for all Obligations hereunder, including without limitation all fees, expenses and charges, arising prior to or after termination, and all of CDF’s rights and remedies and its security interest shall continue until all Obligations to CDF hereunder are paid and all obligations of Dealers to CDF hereunder are performed in full. All waivers and indemnifications in CDF’s favor, and the agreement to arbitrate, set forth in this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.

18. Binding Effect; Participations . No Dealer may assign its interest in this Agreement without CDF’s prior written consent. CDF may assign or participate CDF’s interest, in whole or in part, without Dealers’ consent; provided that CDF shall retain a majority interest in this Agreement and shall not agree to modify the voting rights of participants as previously disclosed in writing to Dealer, unless a Default or any event which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both would result in a Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment or participation. This Agreement will protect and bind CDF’s and each Dealer’s respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, as the case may be.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    19   


19. Notices . Except as required by law or as otherwise provided herein, all notices or other communications to be given under the Agreement or under the UCC shall be in writing served either personally, by deposit with a reputable overnight courier with charges prepaid, or by deposit in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid or provided for, addressed to Dealers at their chief executive offices shown below or to any office to which CDF sends billing statements, or to CDF at its address shown in the preamble hereto, to the attention of its Credit Department, or at such other address designated by such party by notice to the other. Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of personal delivery, one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail except that any notice of change of address shall not be effective until actually received.

22. Acceptance by CDF . CDF may accept this Agreement by issuance of an approval to a Vendor for the purchase of inventory by Dealers or by making an advance hereunder.

23. Miscellaneous . Time is of the essence regarding each Dealer’s performance of its obligations to CDF. Each Dealer’s liability to CDF is direct and unconditional and will not be affected by the release or nonperfection of any security interest granted hereunder. CDF may refrain from or postpone enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreements between CDF and a Dealer without prejudice, and the failure to strictly enforce these agreements will not create a course of dealing which waives, amends or modifies such agreements. Any waiver by CDF of a Default shall only be effective if in writing signed by CDF and transmitted to a Dealer. The express terms of this Agreement will not be modified by any course of dealing, usage of trade, or custom of trade which may deviate from the terms hereof. If a Dealer fails to pay any taxes, fees or other obligations which may materially impair CDF’s interest in the Collateral, or fails to keep any Collateral insured, CDF may, but shall not be required to, pay such amounts. Such paid amounts will be: (a) additional Obligations which Dealers owe to CDF, which are subject to finance charges as provided herein and shall be secured by the Collateral; and (b) due and payable immediately in full upon demand to Dealers. Section titles used herein are for convenience only, and do not define or limit the contents of any Section. All words used herein shall be understood and construed to be of such number and gender as the circumstances may require. This Agreement may be validly executed in one or more multiple counterpart signature pages. This Agreement shall be construed without presumption for or against any party who drafted all or any portion of this Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall bind CDF unless in a writing signed by CDF and transmitted to Dealers. Among other symbols, CDF hereby adopts “GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation,” “GE Commercial Distribution Finance,” “GECDF” or “CDF” as evidence of its intent to authenticate a record.

The arbitration rules are currently found at www.adr.org for AAA, and at www.usam-midwest.com for USA&M. AAA claims may be filed in any AAA office. Claims filed with USA&M shall be filed in its Midwest office located at 720 Olive Street, Suite 2020, St. Louis, Missouri 63101. All arbitrator(s) selected will be attorneys with at least five (5) years secured transactions experience. A panel of three arbitrators shall hear all claims exceeding One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), exclusive of interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator(s) will decide if any inconsistency exists between the rules of the applicable arbitral forum and the arbitration provisions contained herein. If such inconsistency exists, the arbitration provisions contained herein will control and supersede such rules. The arbitrator shall follow the terms of this Agreement and the applicable law, including without limitation, the attorney-client privilege and the attorney work product doctrine.

(c) Hearings . Each party hereby consents to a documentary hearing for all arbitration claims by submitting the dispute to the arbitrator(s) by written briefs and affidavits, along with relevant documents. However, arbitration claims will be submitted by way of an oral hearing if any party requests an oral hearing within forty (40) days after service of the claim and that party remits the appropriate deposit for fees and arbitrator compensation within ten (10) days of making the request. Each party agrees that failure to timely pay all fees and arbitrator compensation billed to the party requesting the oral hearing will be deemed such party’s consent to submitting the Dispute to the arbitrator on documents and such party’s waiver of its request for an oral hearing. The site of all oral arbitration hearings will be in the Division of the Federal Judicial District in which the designated arbitration association maintains a regional office that is closest to Dealers.

(d) Discovery . Discovery permitted in any arbitration proceeding commenced hereunder is limited as follows. No later than forty (40) days after the filing and service of a claim for arbitration, the parties in contested cases will exchange detailed statements setting forth the facts supporting the claim(s) and all defenses to be raised during the arbitration, and a list of all exhibits and witnesses. No later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the oral arbitration hearing, the parties will exchange a final list of all exhibits and all witnesses, including any designation of any expert witness(es) together with a summary of their testimony; a copy of all documents and a detailed description of any property to be introduced at the hearing. Under no circumstances will the use of interrogatories, requests for admission, requests for the production of documents or the taking of depositions be permitted. However, in the event of the designation of any expert witness(es), the following will occur: (i) all information and documents relied upon by the expert witness(es) will be delivered to the opposing party; (ii) the opposing party will be permitted to depose the expert witness(es); (iii) the opposing party will be permitted to designate rebuttal expert witness(es); and (iv) the arbitration hearing will be continued to the earliest possible date that enables the foregoing limited discovery to be accomplished.

(e) Exemplary or Punitive Damages . The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award exemplary or punitive damages.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    22   


(f) Confidentiality of Awards . All arbitration proceedings, including testimony or evidence at hearings, will be kept confidential, although any award or order rendered by the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be confirmed as a judgment or order in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the federal judicial district which includes the residence of the party against whom such award or order was entered. This Agreement concerns transactions involving commerce among the several states. The Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq., as amended (“ FAA ”) will govern all arbitration(s) and confirmation proceedings hereunder.

(g) Prejudgment and Provisional Remedies . Nothing herein will be construed to prevent CDF’s or a Dealer’s use of bankruptcy, receivership, injunction, repossession, replevin, claim and delivery, sequestration, seizure, attachment, foreclosure, and/or any other prejudgment or provisional action or remedy relating to any Collateral for any current or future debt owed by either party to the other. Any such action or remedy will not waive CDF’s or a Dealer’s right to compel arbitration of any Dispute.

(h) Attorneys’ Fees . If either a Dealer or CDF brings any other action for judicial relief with respect to any Dispute (other than those set forth in Sections 26(a) or 26(g) of this Agreement), the party bringing such action will be liable for and immediately pay all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred to stay or dismiss such action and remove or refer such Dispute to arbitration. If either a Dealer or CDF brings or appeals an action to vacate or modify an arbitration award and such party does not prevail, such party will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in defending such action. Additionally, if a Dealer sues CDF or institutes any arbitration claim or counterclaim against CDF in which CDF is the prevailing party, Dealers will pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by CDF in the course of defending such action or proceeding.

(i) Limitations . Any arbitration proceeding must be instituted: (i) with respect to any Dispute for the collection of any debt owed by either party to the other, within two (2) years after the date the last payment by or on behalf of the payor was received and applied in respect of such debt by the payee; and (ii) with respect to any other Dispute, within two (2) years after the date the incident giving rise thereto occurred, whether or not any damage was sustained or capable of ascertainment or either party knew of such incident. Failure to institute an arbitration proceeding within such period will constitute an absolute bar and waiver to the institution of any proceeding, whether arbitration or a court proceeding, with respect to such Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this limitations provision will be suspended temporarily as of the date any of the following events occur and will not resume until the date following the date either party is no longer subject to (A) bankruptcy, (B) receivership, (C) any proceeding regarding an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (D) any legal proceeding, civil or criminal, which prohibits either party from foreclosing any interest it might have in the collateral of the other party.

(j) Survival After Termination . The agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Inventory Financing Agreement    23   


27. Multiple Dealers; Joint and Several Liability; Designation of Authorized Representatives .

(a) All advances by CDF to and all other Obligations of any Dealer shall constitute one general obligation of all of the Dealers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dealers shall be primarily and jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of any Dealer to CDF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a Dealer is deemed to be a guarantor of another Dealer hereunder, such Dealer’s liability for any credit extended to or for the benefit of such other Dealer shall be deemed to be a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Dealer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notices of any nature whatsoever with respect to any of the Obligations to CDF under this Agreement, and any requirement that CDF protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Dealer, any other person or any Collateral. Each Dealer agrees that any rights of subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights it may have against any other Dealer with respect to its liability hereunder or otherwise, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law, shall be subject, junior and subordinate in all respect to all Obligations of such Dealer to CDF hereunder and that the enforcement of such rights shall be stayed until such time as the Dealers shall have indefeasibly paid in full all of the Obligations to CDF hereunder and CDF shall be under no duty to extend credit to or for the benefit of any Dealer. The liability of each Dealer shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other agreement between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF, (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty or any release of any guarantor or any other person liable in whole or in part for all or any of the Obligations to CDF under this Agreement, (iii) the disallowance or avoidance of all or any portion of CDF’s claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations of any Dealer to CDF hereunder or of CDF’s interest in any security for such Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, a Dealer or a guarantor or any other surety.

(b) Each Dealer (each, a “ Principal ”) hereby appoints each other Dealer (each, an “ Agent ”) as the Principal’s agent and attorney-in-fact (1) to take any action, (2) to execute any document or instrument, (3) to consent or agree to any amendment or other modification of this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF and/or any waiver of or departure from any of the terms hereof or thereof, (4) to perform any Obligation to CDF under this Agreement of the Principal, and (5) to give or receive any notice by or to any Dealer hereunder or thereunder; and in each case without regard to whether any such action is done in the name of an Agent or a Principal and, if done in the name of an Agent, without regard to whether such Agent’s capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact is so designated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent may request extensions of credit to or on behalf of any one or more of the Dealers and/or incur any

other Obligations for the account of any one or more of the Dealers, and in any such event all of the Dealers shall be fully and jointly and severally bound by and liable for the actions of such Agent. CDF shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by an Agent under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF (including without limitation, any request by an Agent to make credit extensions to or on behalf of itself and/or any one or more other Dealers) until three (3) Business Days after CDF shall have received written notice from each Principal of the revocation of this agency and power of attorney, which revocation shall constitute a Default.

(c) Each Dealer hereby authorizes any officer (and the Cash Manager and Treasury Manager in connection with (i) remittances to and from the [****], and (ii) requests pre-owned investnory advances pursuant to Section 1(c) of this Agreement) to act on behalf of such Dealer in connection with this Agreement, the certificates and documents contemplated hereby, and the transactions referenced herein and therein. CDF shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by such authorized persons under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF (including without limitation, any request by such authorized representative to make credit extensions to or on behalf of such Dealer) until three (3) Business Days after CDF shall have received written notice from such Dealer of the revocation of such person’s authority and the identity of each additional person authorized to act on behalf of such Dealer thereafter.

28. Governing Law . This Agreement and all agreements between or among Dealers and CDF have been substantially negotiated and will be substantially performed in the state of Illinois. Accordingly, all Disputes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of such state, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of the FAA, which will control and govern all arbitration proceedings hereunder.

29. INVALIDITY/UNENFORCEABILITY OF BINDING ARBITRATION . IF THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO BE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. DEALERS AND CDF WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. SIMILARLY, IF THIS AGREEMENT OR A PARTICULAR DISPUTE HEREUNDER IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, DEALERS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN ILLINOIS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH DEALERS MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

Eligible Products:    New and pre-owned marine products, subject to a perfected first priority Lien in favor of CDF and free and clear of all other Liens not permitted by the Inventory Financing Agreement. Consigned products shall be excluded unless you comply with CDF’s documentation requirements with respect thereto and CDF otherwise agrees in writing.

The effective dealer interest rate for any month (after the manufacturer subsidy period expires, if applicable) shall be the One month LIBOR rate plus 3.45%.

 

Dealer Rate shall be the same for both new and pre-owned inventory.

 

The Dealer Rate will be recalculated monthly based on changes in the One month LIBOR rate as outlined above.

Performance Rebate:   

So long as Dealer remains in compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Inventory Financing Agreement, this Program Terms Letter and all other agreements or instruments by and between Dealer and CDF, for each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2013, CDF will pay you a rebate to be paid quarterly in an amount equal to .20% of (i) the average daily balance of outstanding Obligations owed to CDF for the prior quarter less (ii) the average daily balance of the [****] for the prior quarter (the “Performance Amount”). Such rebate will be subject to the following:

 

1. The amount of such rebates paid to you shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate for any calendar year.

 

2. Such rebates will be paid within 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter.

 

3. The average daily balance of outstanding Obligations will be calculated as the sum of the daily balance of outstanding Obligations for each day in the applicable quarter divided by the number of days in the applicable quarter.

 

4. The average daily balance of the [****] will be calculated as the sum of the daily balance of the [****] for each day in the applicable quarter divided by the number of days in the applicable quarter.

Unused Line Fee:    Dealer will be charged a monthly Unused Line Fee in an amount equal to 0.10% multiplied by the Unused Line, calculated based on the actual number of days in the calendar month in a year of 360 days.

Maturity Period:    Invoices financed for new inventory by CDF are considered due in full at 1081 days from original invoice date. Invoices financed for pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory by CDF are considered due in full at 361 days from the date Dealer acquires such unit (“Acquisition Date”).

COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.

 

Floorplan Advance Rate:   

For new inventory (excluding Azimut brand new inventory), 100% of invoice amount, including freight (if included on original invoice), subject to Availability.

 

For Azimut brand new inventory: (a) if the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is < [****], 80% of invoice amount for all inventory that is 70 feet or less and 75% of invoice amount for all inventory that is greater than 70 feet, subject to Availability; and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is > [****], 85% of invoice amount for all inventory that is 70 feet or less and 75% of invoice amount for all inventory that is greater than 70 feet, subject to Availability.

 

As used herein, “Availability” shall mean (i) the lesser of (a) the Maximum Credit Amount and (b) at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is less than [****], 100% of total eligible inventory shown on the most recent inventory certificate or, at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is equal to or greater than [****], 90% of total eligible inventory shown on such inventory certificate, (ii) minus the outstanding amount of Approvals, (iii) minus the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations. If Availability is negative at any time, then immediate payment shall be required of amount sufficient to cause Availability to be equal to or greater than $0.

 

Pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory advances will be as follows, subject to Availability, the Pre-owned Inventory Sublimit, the Specific Pre-Owned Sublimit, and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit:

 

75% NADA (based on low NADA Value) Day 1 (“Day 1” as used herein shall mean Acquisition Date) through Day 180 (after Acquisition Date); 67% Day 181 (after Acquisition Date) through Day 360 (after Acquisition Date); 0% Day 361+ (after Acquisition Date).

 

All models of pre-owned inventory are eligible, provided fair market values can be determined via NADA, Yachtworld.com, or survey.

 

Internal condition and valuation methodology required on all units > $500,000.00 (“Specific Pre-Owned Items”). If valuation of any Specific Pre-Owned Item exceeds [****], CDF advances in excess of [****] for such Specific Pre-Owned Item shall be in CDF’s discretion.

 

Trade in units < $500,000.00 value will be financed on a “borrowing base” calculated as the aggregate of the pre-owned advance rates multiplied by the applicable low NADA Values of such pre-owned inventory.

 

Borrowing base certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B required to be submitted on the date hereof and monthly by the 5 th day of the month based on preceding month end balances of pre-owned inventory. Month-end borrowing base certificate can be used to borrow up to 80% of eligible borrowing base for that calendar month, subject to Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit. Any request for advances > 80% of prior month-end borrowing base requires submission of an updated borrowing base and such advances shall be limited to 100% of updated borrowing base, subject to Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit.

 

If any unit (new or pre-owned) remains at a location other than a Permitted Location for more than 30 days, then immediate payment shall be required of the full principal amount of the Obligations owed with respect to such unit. If the aggregate value of units at locations other than Permitted Locations (excluding boat shows) exceeds $5,000,000.00 at any time, then immediate payment shall be required of the Obligations with respect to such units in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, if a material adverse change results in the reduction of the value of the Collateral in an aggregate amount exceeding $250,000.00, then immediate payment shall be required of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral in an amount equal to such excess; provided that, if such reduction of value is the subject of an insurance claim payable to CDF as loss payee, then immediate payment of such excess amount shall only be required to the extent it exceeds the claim amount (net of any deductible) and payment of the remainder of such excess shall not be required until the earlier of (i) receipt of such insurance proceeds, if any, or the rejection or denial of such claim or any portion thereof and (ii) 30 days (or such later date as CDF may agree in writing) after such loss or damage.

In no event shall CDF finance more than the greater of [****] units or [****] of such inventory that exceeds 70 ft., and which are not under contract to a retail customer pursuant to an Acceptable Contract.

For pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory < $500,000.00 low NADA value, a curtailment payment of 10% of the amount financed is due and payable at day 181 after the Acquisition Date; for pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory > $500,000.00 low NADA value, a curtailment payment of 10% of the amount financed is due and payable at day 181 after the Acquisition Date; and the advances with respect to all such items of inventory will be due in full at day 361 after the Acquisition Date.
