 Each principal payment made under this Section 2.3 shall be accompanied by payment of all
accrued but unpaid interest with respect thereto. If not sooner paid, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan and all accrued interest shall be due and payable on the Term Maturity Date. Payments made pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be made
in addition to (but not in duplication of) those pursuant to this Section 2.3. 
 2.4 Optional Prepayment of the Term Loan. At
any time and from time to time, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon written notice given to the Bank not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, one (1) Business Day
prior to each intended prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan that is maintained as a Base Rate Loan; provided that any prepayments of the Term Loan shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid; and provided
further that, unless made together with all amounts required under Section 2.20 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 2.5 Interest on Term Loan. 
 (a) At the option of the Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Term Loan shall bear, and the Borrower
shall pay, interest from the Closing Date on the unpaid principal balance thereof at either (i) the Adjusted Base Rate for Term Loans or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. 
 (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR
Loan on the last Business Day of any calendar month by providing the Bank written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to such conversion. The Borrower may convert any LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto by providing the Bank written notice at least one (1) Business Day prior to such conversion. Any LIBOR Loan for which the Borrower does not provide a notice of conversion as described in the immediately preceding sentence
shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be automatically continued as a LIBOR Loan for the subsequent Interest Period. 
 2.6
Revolving Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Bank agrees to make revolving loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or the (ii) Revolving 

  

 17 

 
Availability (the “Revolving Commitment”). If, at any time, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds the maximum amount that is
permitted to be outstanding at any one time, as provided in this Section 2.6, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. Within the limits of the Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.6, prepay under Section 2.10, and reborrow under this Section 2.6. Each Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. 
 2.7 Revolving Note. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank the Revolving Note to evidence the Revolving Loan. The
Revolving Note shall be in the form of Exhibit C and dated as of the date hereof. The Borrower and the Bank hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference to the Revolving Note as if set forth therein and, in the
event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Revolving Note, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 2.8
Request for Revolving Borrowing. Each Revolving Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Bank, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. one
Business Day prior on the requested date of any Revolving Borrowing. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Bank of a written Revolving Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Revolving Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
 2.9 Interest on the Revolving Loan. The Revolving Loan shall bear, and the Borrower shall pay, interest from the date such Loan is made on the
unpaid principal balance thereof at the Adjusted Base Rate for Revolving Loans. 
 2.10 Repayment of the Revolving Loan. Once the
Lockbox Agreement is entered into pursuant to Section 5.12, the Bank shall apply amounts held pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement towards the payment of outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Revolving Loan. The Revolving
Loan principal may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without any prepayment premium, provided that any prepayments of the Revolving Loan shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid. All principal, interest, fees and
other amounts then outstanding under the Revolving Note shall be due and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date, or such earlier date as payment of the Revolving Loan shall be due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. 
 2.11 Use of Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely (i) to refinance the Terminating Indebtedness,
(ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) to provide working capital for the Borrower. 
 2.12 Payments Generally. All payments (including prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees on the Loans shall be made in immediately available funds to the Bank at its offices at
6805 Morrison Boulevard, Suite 100, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211, prior to 2:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the date payment is due, or (i) at such other place as 

  

 18 

 
designated in writing by the Bank or (ii) in accordance with wiring instructions designated in writing by the Bank. 
 2.13 Interest Generally. 
 (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate. Such interest shall be payable in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month while such Base Rate Loan is outstanding and on the date such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Loan. 
 (b) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, at intervals of three
(3) months after the first day thereof. 
 (c) Interest on the Loans and fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Notes shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of interest to the Bank at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid under this Agreement or the Notes exceeds the maximum rate
permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid hereunder and under the Notes shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by governing law and any amounts collected in excess of the permissible amount shall be
deemed a prepayment of principal on the Notes. 
 2.14 Interest Upon Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, at the option of the Bank without any required notice to the Borrower, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and to the full extent
permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and such default interest shall be payable on demand. Additionally, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon application of the
Default Rate to the Loans pursuant to this Section, any portion of the Term Loan that is maintained as a LIBOR Loan then outstanding shall immediately and automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan. 
 2.15 Taxes. All payments of principal, interest and fees and all other amounts to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Loans or fees relating thereto shall be paid without deduction for, and free from, any tax, imposts, levies, duties, deductions, or withholdings of any nature now or at any time hereafter imposed on or measured by any governmental authority
or by any taxing authority thereof, or therein, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the Bank’s net income, (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the Bank by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Bank is organized or any
political subdivision thereof, and (iii) taxes imposed on the Bank’s income. In the event that the Borrower is required 

  

 19 

 
by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction of taxes with respect to the Loans or fee or other amount, the Borrower shall pay such deduction
or withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall promptly furnish to the Bank all receipts and other additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount received by the Bank after the required withholding or other payment shall
equal the amount the Bank would have received had no such withholding or other payment been made. 
 2.16 Basis for Determining Interest
Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Bank reasonably determines
that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or 
 (b) the Bank reasonably determines that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of funding a LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period, the Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon
until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (i) the obligation of the Bank to fund LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted
to Base Rate Loans, and during such suspension period all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay LIBOR Loans shall be applied to repay Base Rate Loans. At the end of any such suspension period, the Bank shall promptly notify
Borrower of the end of the suspension period, and Borrower shall be allowed, in its sole discretion, to reconvert the then outstanding principal amount of the Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans. 
 2.17 Illegality. If, after the date hereof, any Change of Law, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then the Bank shall
so notify the Borrower, whereupon until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Bank to fund LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. If the Bank shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain and fund LIBOR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Loans, together with accrued interest thereon
and any amount due the Bank pursuant to Section 2.20(a). Concurrently with prepaying each of the LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan with respect to each LIBOR Loan in a principal amount equal to the respective amount of
such LIBOR Loan from the Bank, and the Bank shall make such Base Rate Loans. 
 2.18 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 
 (a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any Governmental Authority: 
  

 20 

 (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any new reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any LIBOR Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve
Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank; or 
 (ii) shall impose
on the Bank or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other new condition affecting LIBOR Loans, the Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by the Bank under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction. 
 (b) If the Bank shall have determined
that after the date hereof, any Change of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) by any
Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay
to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such reduction. 
 (c) The Bank will promptly
notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of the Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (d) The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall be applicable with respect to any participant, assignee or other transferee, and any
calculations required by such provisions shall be made based upon the circumstances of such participant, assignee or other transferee. 
 2.19 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected LIBOR Loans. If (i) the obligation of the Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.17 or (ii) the Bank has demanded compensation under
Section 2.18, and the Borrower shall, by at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Bank, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to the Bank, then, unless and until the Bank notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply, all 

  

 21 

 
then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans and all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay the LIBOR Loans
shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. At the end of any such suspension period, the Bank shall promptly notify Borrower of the end of the suspension period, and Borrower shall be allowed, in its sole discretion, to reconvert the
then outstanding principal amount of the Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans. 
 2.20 Compensation. Upon the request of the Bank, delivered
to the Borrower , the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Bank as a result of: 
 (a) any payment or prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan maintained as a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for such LIBOR Loan; or: 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower to prepay any portion of the Term Loan maintained as a
LIBOR Loan on the date for such prepayment specified in the relevant notice of prepayment hereunder; 
 such compensation to include, without limitation, an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid or prepaid or not prepaid or borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to prepay or borrow to
the last day of the then current Interest Period for such portion of the Term Loan maintained as a LIBOR Loan (or, in the case of a failure to prepay or borrow, the Interest Period for such portion of the Loan maintained as a LIBOR Loan which would
have commenced on the date of such failure to prepay or borrow) at the applicable rate of interest for such portion of the Term Loan maintained as a LIBOR Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by the Bank) the Bank would have paid on deposits in Dollars of comparable amounts having terms comparable to such period placed with it by leading banks in London interbank market.

Guarantors, to set off and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other property at any time held (including at any branches or agencies, wherever located), and any other indebtedness at any
time owing, by the Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all of the obligations of such Guarantor to the Bank hereunder now or hereafter existing, whether or not such obligations may be contingent or unmatured,
each Guarantor hereby granting to the Bank a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all such deposits and other property as security for such obligations. The Bank agrees to notify the applicable Guarantor promptly after any such set-off and

 (b) All references in
the other Loan Documents and the Loan Documents executed in connection with the Original Loan Agreement (the “Original Loan Documents”) to the Original Loan Agreement or the “Loan Agreement” shall be deemed to include

 Exhibit 10.12 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO FIRST AMENDED 
 AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT 
 THIS
FIRST AMENDMENT TO FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 24th day of September, 2008, by and among FOUNTAIN POWERBOATS, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”), FOUNTAIN
POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), FOUNTAIN DEALERS’ FACTORY SUPER STORE, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Affiliate Guarantor”) and REGIONS BANK (the “Bank”).

 R E C I T A L S: 
 The Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Affiliate Guarantor and the Bank are parties to that certain First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of November 16, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement. 
 The Borrower has notified the Bank that as of the close of the Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008 (the “Applicable Fiscal
Quarter”), the Borrower was not in compliance with Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement (the “Covenant Default”). As the Covenant Default has continued for fifteen (15) days after knowledge thereof by the executive
management or the board of directors of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower, the Covenant Default constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.l(a) of the Loan Agreement. 
 The Borrower, the Parent Guarantor and the Affiliate Guarantor have requested the Bank temporarily waive the Covenant Default for the Applicable Fiscal
Quarter. 
 The Borrower, the Parent Guarantor and the Affiliate Guarantor have requested the Bank to amend the Loan Agreement to modify
Section 6.5. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Affiliate Guarantor and the Bank, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Recitals. The Recitals are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed to be a part of this Amendment. 
 SECTION 2. Amendment to Section 6.5. Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating it in its entirety to
read as follows: 

 6.5 Minimum Consolidated EBITDA. Permit Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent during any fiscal
quarter to be less than the amount set forth below for such applicable fiscal quarter: 
  

			
	$830,000	  	for fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008
	$915,000	  	for fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008
	$880,000	  	for fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008
	$900,000	  	for fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009

(c) the fact that the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantor contained in Article IV of the Loan Agreement and
Section 6 of this Amendment shall be true on and as of the date hereof. 
 SECTION 5. No Other Amendment. Except for the

or remedies under the Loan Agreement as hereby amended or waived. The Bank does hereby reserve all of its rights and remedies against all parties who may be or may hereafter become secondarily liable for the repayment of the Note. The Borrower and
