The foregoing corporate reorganization is referred to herein as the West Marine
Reorganization.



C. The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are willing to grant such request on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amendment.



NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:



1. Effectiveness. The effectiveness of
the provisions in Sections 3 and 5 of this Amendment are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions further described in Section 6 of this Amendment.



2. Assumption. Effective as of the Reorganization Consummation Date, Proposed Borrower hereby assumes all
obligations and duties of Existing Borrower owing to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swing Line Lender and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, and the other documents executed in connection herewith and therewith including, but not
limited to, the Obligations (such obligations and duties are collectively referred to herein as the Assumed Obligations). As used herein, Reorganization Consummation Date shall mean the effective date of the West
Marine Reorganization.



3. Limited Consent.



(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Amendment, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby consent to the West Marine Reorganization.



(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the assumption in Section
2 above and agree that they will accept performance of the Assumed Obligations by Proposed Borrower, as Borrower as if such Assumed Obligations were performed by Existing Borrower.



(c) The foregoing consents are one-time consents and not consents to any future transactions, settlements, waivers or
amendments whether or not similar to the foregoing. Any failure to satisfy the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall render the foregoing consent null and void and of no effect.



4. Reinstatement. If for any reason any portion of the West Marine Reorganization is revoked, rescinded,
avoided or nullified for any reason, the obligations of any affected merged out or liquidated company under the Loan Documents, unless the Administrative Agent requests otherwise in writing, shall be revived and reinstated and deemed to have
continued in existence.



5. Amendments. Effective
as of the Reorganization Consummation Date:



(a) Proposed
Borrower shall be the Borrower under the Loan Documents (and Proposed Borrower shall concurrently be released from its Guaranty) and, in furtherance thereof, wherever the name West Marine Finance Company, Inc. shall appear in the Loan
Documents, the name West Marine Products, Inc. will be deemed substituted



2



---

therefore. For the avoidance of doubt, Proposed Borrower confirms and agrees that, effective as of the Reorganization
Consummation Date, all Collateral of Proposed Borrower secures the Obligations as defined in the Credit Agreement.



(b) The definition of Guarantor in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:



Guarantor means, collectively, each of
West Marine, Inc., a Delaware corporation, West Marine Canada Corp., a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company, West Marine Puerto Rico, Inc., a California corporation, W Marine Management Company, Inc., a California corporation, West Marine LBC,
Inc., a California corporation, West Marine IHC I, Inc., a California corporation, and any other Subsidiary of Parent or Borrower now or hereafter existing.



6. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of the provisions in Sections 3 and 5 above is conditioned upon, and such provisions shall
not be effective until, each of the following conditions has been satisfied unless any such condition has been waived in writing by all the Lenders (the first date on which all of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived in writing
being referred to herein as the Amendment Effective Date):

(c) The UCC financing statements filed against each of the merged-out companies involved in the West Marine Reorganization shall be amended to reflect
the name of the applicable surviving company.



(d) The
Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a favorable written opinion from counsel to Parent, Existing Borrower, Proposed Borrower and the Guarantors, dated as of the date of this Amendment, addressed to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.



(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of the Lenders, a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Parent, Existing
