future advances upon the request of any Borrower (when more than one) without the acknowledgement or consent of any other Borrower or the Grantor. 
  
 2. Insurance. Grantor shall keep the Premises now existing or hereafter erected, continuously insured for the benefit of Beneficiary against loss

shall deliver to Beneficiary such policies along with evidence of premium payment as long as the Obligation remains unpaid. If Grantor fails to purchase such insurance, pay the premiums therefor or deliver said policies along with evidence of
payment of premiums thereon, then Beneficiary, at its option, may purchase such insurance. Beneficiary may require, in its sole discretion, that the proceeds of any such insurance, or any part thereof, be applied to the reduction of the Obligation
or to the restoration or repair of the damaged Premises as the work progresses. 
  
 3. Taxes, Assessments, Charges. Grantor shall pay all taxes, assessments and charges as may be lawfully levied against the Premises within thirty (30) days after the same shall become due. In the event that
Grantor fails to so pay all taxes, assessments and charges as herein required, then Beneficiary, at its option, may pay the same. 
  
 4. Condemnation. Upon the condemnation or taking of the Premises, or any part thereof, by any authority pursuant to the power of eminent domain,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive all or any portion of the amounts awarded or paid for such taking, up to the full amount of the Obligation, which amounts awarded or paid are hereby assigned to Beneficiary. Beneficiary’s right to
receive any award or payment upon any taking shall not be affected, restricted or in any way impaired by the amount or value of any remaining portions of the Premises that may continue to be subject to the terms of this Deed of Trust. 
  
 5. Waste. Grantor covenants that it will keep the Premises in as good
order, repair and condition as they are now, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and that it will not commit or permit any waste. 
  
 6. Warranties. Grantor covenants with Trustee and Beneficiary that it is seized of the Premises in fee simple, and has the right to convey the same

opinion of title to and approved by Beneficiary in connection with this Deed of Trust and any Permitted Liens. 
  
 7. Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary shall at any time have the irrevocable right to remove Trustee or any successor Trustee without notice or
cause and to appoint a successor by an instrument in writing, duly acknowledged, in such form as to entitle such instrument to be recorded in the same registry where this Deed of Trust is recorded. Any successor Trustee so appointed shall be vested
in the title to the Premises and shall possess all the powers, duties and obligations herein conferred on Trustee in the same manner and to the same extent as though successor Trustee was originally named herein as Trustee. 
  
 8. Expenses. Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold Trustee and
Beneficiary harmless from and shall pay or reimburse them for all expenses of every kind, including, without limitation, fines, penalties, damages, attorneys’ fees, court costs, taxes, insurance premiums, and all costs of all inspections
appraisals, environmental investigations and cleanups incidental to the creation, existence or protection of the Obligation, the Premises or this Deed of Trust, the collection of the Obligation, or the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust by suit or
otherwise. All such expenses shall be added to the Obligation, shall bear interest at the rate provided in the Obligation for sums due after default (or at the “contract rate” if there is no “default rate”), and shall be due and
payable to Beneficiary or Trustee upon demand. Grantor’s obligations hereunder shall be continuing and survive satisfaction of the Obligation, or foreclosure or sale under this Deed of Trust or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

  
 9. Environmental Conditions. Grantor warrants that (i)
the Premises have not been and are not now being used in violation in any material respect of any federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance or regulation (“Environmental Law”); (ii) all operations of Grantor are being and in the
future will be conducted in full compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws; (iii) except as previously disclosed to and approved by Beneficiary in writing, the Premises are free of underground storage tanks, out-of-use
transformers, hazardous, radioactive, or toxic wastes, contaminants, oil, asbestos containing materials, or other materials, the production, use, storage, transportation, disposal, discharge, or removal of which is regulated, restricted, prohibited
or penalized by any federal, state or local agency, authority or governmental unit (“Hazardous Substances”); (iv) Grantor has not filed nor been required to file any federal, state, or local reports or notices of any nature relating to the
discovery, discharge, or disposal of Hazardous Substances on the Premises; and (v) no proceedings have been commenced or threatened, or citations, orders, or notices received, concerning the Premises and the alleged violation of any Environmental
Law. 
  
 Except for materials necessary for the normal routine
maintenance of the Premises, which materials shall be used in accordance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, Grantor covenants that, without prior written consent of Beneficiary, it will not permit any Hazardous Substances to be
brought into the Premises, and if otherwise brought, found or located thereon, Grantor will cause the same to be immediately removed, with proper disposal, will diligently undertake all necessary environmental cleanup procedures, and will otherwise
fully comply with all Environmental Laws. Grantor covenants that it will immediately notify Beneficiary in writing of any accidents on or affecting the Premises involving Hazardous Substances, and will provide Beneficiary, upon request, with copies
of all current or future environmentally related permits, filings, reports, assessments, audits, notices, complaints, and the like relating to the Premises. Grantor further covenants that upon request of Beneficiary, Grantor will, at its sole
expense, obtain such environmental assessments for the Premises as Beneficiary may direct. Should Grantor fail to perform such environmental assessments within thirty (30) days of Beneficiary’s request, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not

exercising any right available to a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if
Brunswick succeeds to the rights of the Bank under the Loan Documents (by purchase, subrogation or otherwise), the liability of RMF under the RMF Guaranty shall be limited to the excess (if any) of (i) the Bank Liabilities over (ii) $14.7 million.
 
  
 2.5 RMF Reimbursement Agreement. RMF agrees
that at Closing he will issue an indemnity agreement in favor of Brunswick substantially in the form of Exhibit D (the “RMF Reimbursement Agreement”) pursuant to which RMF will indemnify Brunswick for all amounts in excess of
$14.7 million which Brunswick may pay to the Bank (i) to purchase the Loan and the other Bank Liabilities pursuant to the Contingent Purchase Agreement or (ii) pursuant to the Brunswick Guaranty. The RMF Reimbursement Agreement will be secured by

subject to the first lien of the Bank (and any intercreditor agreement required by the Bank), a second lien on all of the Bank Collateral. 
  
 2.6 Engine Supply Agreement. At Closing, FPII and the Company will enter into the Engine Supply Agreement which will have a term ending the later
of (a) the end of the second model year after the year in which complete repayment of the Loan (other than through extension or refinancing) and the extinguishment of the Brunswick Guaranty occur and (b) seven (7) years.  
  
 2.7 Brunswick Purchase Option. Brunswick shall have the option (the
“Brunswick Purchase Option”) commencing on the earlier of (i) the date the Loan Agreement has terminated and all amounts outstanding thereunder have been paid in full, or (ii) July 1, 2007, and ending three months after audited
financial statements of FPII and the Company have been provided to Brunswick covering the two full fiscal year periods commencing after the Loan Agreement has been terminated and all amounts outstanding thereunder have been paid in full (the
“Brunswick Option Period”), to purchase any or all of the shares of Capital Stock held by RMF, as well as all options held by RMF to purchase Capital Stock (the “RMF Shares”) at the Option Share Purchase Price. To
exercise the Brunswick Purchase Option, Brunswick shall deliver to RMF written notice (in the manner contemplated by Section 12.6) of its exercise of the Brunswick Purchase Option within the Brunswick Option Period. Once notice is given RMF
shall not be able to exercise outstanding options. If Brunswick validly exercises the Brunswick Purchase Option, RMF shall sell, and Brunswick shall purchase, all of RMF Shares as promptly as practicable after the date of such exercise and in no
event later than the latest to occur of the following: (A) 60 days after the date of such exercise and (B) five days after receipt of all required or appropriate approvals to such transaction from any Governmental Authority. Brunswick shall pursue
required approvals from any Governmental Authority promptly. If, after Brunswick exercises the Brunswick Purchase Option, any Governmental Authority whose approval is required to consummate the Brunswick Purchase Option imposes a condition on its
approval of such acquisition that, in the sole discretion of Brunswick, would make the acquisition of the RMF Shares impractical or not otherwise in the best interests of Brunswick, 
  

 6 

 
Brunswick shall not be required to consummate the Brunswick Purchase Option. If such decision not to complete the acquisition is made, the Brunswick Purchase
Option shall be deemed not to have been exercised and shall remain in full force and effect, but it shall expire (if not previously exercised) on the later of (a) the last day of the Brunswick Option Period, or (b) the last day of the month that is
18 months after the decision not to consummate was made. At the closing of the Brunswick Purchase Option, (1) RMF shall deliver to Brunswick the RMF Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances; and (2) Brunswick shall deliver to RMF the Option Share
Purchase Price multiplied by the number of RMF Shares purchased. At all times during the Brunswick Option Period, the Company and FPII shall afford Brunswick free and unfettered access to their books and records in order that Brunswick can determine
whether to exercise the Brunswick Purchase Option; provided such access is not in violation of any applicable law. 
  
 2.8 RMF Share Sale. If at any time after the Closing Date and before and including the date the Brunswick Purchase Option terminates (the
“RMF Sale Period”), RMF receives a bona fide third party written offer to purchase the RMF Shares containing specific terms, RMF shall give written notice to Brunswick of such offer together with copies of all documentation related
thereto. Upon receipt of such notice Brunswick (in its discretion) shall have 30 days (i) to purchase the RMF Shares at seventy percent (70%) of the price set forth in the written notice (the “Offer Price”), (ii) to exercise the
Brunswick Purchase Option, if available, or (iii) to decline to do either. If Brunswick decides not to purchase at the Offer Price or to exercise the Brunswick Purchase Option, then RMF shall be free to sell the RMF Shares at the proposed purchase
price for 180 days after the date of Brunswick’s notice informing RMF of its decision not to proceed; provided that RMF is able to provide replacement collateral for the RMF Stock Collateral acceptable to Brunswick. In the event that Brunswick
decides to proceed, Brunswick shall purchase all of the RMF Shares as promptly as practicable after the date of such exercise and in no event later than the latest to occur of the following: (A) 60 days after notice to the Company of its decision to
proceed and (B) five days after receipt of all required approvals to such transaction from any Governmental Authorities. Brunswick shall pursue required approvals from any Governmental Authority promptly. If any Governmental Authority whose approval
is required to consummate the purchase of RMF Shares imposes a condition on its approval of such acquisition that, in the sole discretion of Brunswick, would make the acquisition of the RMF Shares impractical or not otherwise in the best interests
of Brunswick, Brunswick shall not be required to consummate the purchase. If such decision not to complete the acquisition is made, RMF may not sell the RMF Shares to the original third party bidder for a time period terminating on the last day of
the month that is 18 months after Brunswick’s decision not to consummate was made (the “Termination Date”)). If at any time prior to the Termination Date, Brunswick decides that it is in a position to consummate it may do so at
the purchase price originally selected by Brunswick. In addition, in the event that the original third party bidder elects not to proceed at any time prior to the Termination Date, the rights granted to Brunswick in this Section 2.8 shall be
in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent offers to purchase until the Termination Date. At the closing of any purchase, (1) RMF shall deliver to Brunswick the RMF Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances; and (2) Brunswick shall
deliver to RMF in immediately available funds equal to the purchase price for the RMF Shares. In the event that Brunswick determines to acquire the RMF Shares solely to sell them to the proposed purchaser, Brunswick may waive such option in
consideration of the immediate payment of the difference between the proposed purchase price and the Offer Price. 
  

 7 

 2.9 FPII Options.  
  
 2.9.1 FPII Purchase Option. At any time during the Brunswick Option Period, Brunswick shall have the option (the
“FPII Purchase Option”) to purchase that number of shares of Capital Stock of FPII (the “FPII Shares”) (at a price equal to the weighted average of the market closing price for the previous 30 days in which 2,000
shares or more have traded from the date of notice of exercise) which would result in Brunswick owning, together with the RMF Shares, 50.1% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock on a fully diluted basis. To exercise the FPII Purchase Option,
Brunswick shall deliver written notice of its exercise of the FPII Purchase Option within the Brunswick Option Period. If Brunswick validly exercises the FPII Purchase Option, FPII shall sell, and Brunswick shall purchase, the number of shares of
capital Stock identified in the notice as promptly as practicable after the date of such exercise and in no event later than the latest to occur of the following: (A) 60 days after the date of such exercise and (B) five days after receipt of all
required or appropriate approvals to such transaction from any Governmental Authority. Brunswick shall pursue required approvals from any Governmental Authority promptly. If, after Brunswick exercises the FPII Purchase Option, any Governmental
Authority whose approval is required to consummate the FPII Purchase Option imposes a condition on its approval of such acquisition that, in the sole discretion of Brunswick, would make the acquisition of the Capital Stock impractical or not
otherwise in the best interests of Brunswick, Brunswick shall not be required to consummate the FPII Purchase Option. If such decision not to complete the acquisition is made, the FPII Purchase Option shall be deemed not to have been exercised and
shall remain in full force and effect, but it shall expire (if not previously exercised) on the last day of the month that is 36 months after the decision not to consummate was made. At the closing of the FPII Purchase Option, (1) FPII shall deliver
to Brunswick the FPII Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances, and (2) Brunswick shall deliver to FPII the FPII Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of FPII Shares purchased. At all times during the Brunswick Option Period, the Company
and FPII shall afford Brunswick full access to their books and records in order that Brunswick can determine whether to exercise the FPII Purchase Option; provided such access is not in violation of any applicable law. 
  
 2.9.2 FPII Make-Up Option. At any time (a) that the Brunswick Guaranty
remains in effect or Brunswick is the owner of the Loan and (b) during the period beginning on the date Brunswick initiates foreclosure or other realization on the RMF Stock Collateral and ending on the 90th day after completion of such foreclosure or other realization, Brunswick shall have the option to purchase up to 273,146 shares of Capital Stock of
FPII at a price equal to $.05 per share. To exercise the FPII Make-Up Option, Brunswick shall deliver written notice to FPII of its exercise of the FPII Make-Up Option. If Brunswick validly exercises the FPII Make-Up Option, FPII shall sell, and
Brunswick shall purchase, the number of shares of Capital Stock identified in the notice as promptly as practicable after the date of such exercise and in no event later than five days after receipt of all required or appropriate approvals to such
transaction from any Governmental Authority. Brunswick shall pursue required approvals from any Governmental Authority promptly. If, after Brunswick exercises the FPII Make-Up Option, any Governmental Authority whose approval is required to
consummate the FPII Make-Up Option imposes a condition on its approval of such acquisition that, in the sole discretion of Brunswick, would make the acquisition of the Capital Stock impractical or not otherwise in the best interests of Brunswick,
Brunswick shall not be required to consummate the FPII Make-Up Option. If such decision not to complete the acquisition is made, the FPII Make-Up Option shall be deemed 
  

 8 

 
not to have been exercised and shall remain in full force and effect, but it shall expire (if not previously exercised) on the last day of the month that is
36 months after the decision not to consummate was made. At the closing of the FPII Make-Up Option, (1) FPII shall deliver to Brunswick the FPII Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances, and (2) Brunswick shall deliver to FPII the purchase price
therefor. 
  
 2.10 Antidilution. The parties acknowledge
that Brunswick would not enter into this Agreement without being assured of maintaining its ability to acquire the percentage of the Shares of Capital Stock of FPII that the RMF Shares represent on the date hereof. Accordingly, without
Brunswick’s prior written consent, neither FPII nor the Company shall create any new class of Capital Stock nor issue any Capital Stock or options to purchase Capital Stock. 
  
 2.11 Closing Actions. 
  

2.11.1 On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Brunswick shall enter into the Brunswick Guarantee, and FPII, the
Company and its Subsidiaries and RMF shall take all actions that Brunswick deems necessary or appropriate to grant to Brunswick perfected liens on and security interests in all Collateral, subject to no Encumbrances other than Permitted
Encumbrances. 
  
 2.11.2 On the Closing Date, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, each party shall execute the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to settle or compromise any Claim if such settlement or compromise would subject the Indemnified Party to any Loss,
restriction or obligation. The Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party will give the Indemnified Party, twenty (20) days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise. 
  
 11.3.3 Cooperation in Defense. In case of any Claim, the Indemnified
Party will, upon written request of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate reasonably in the defense thereof, including affording to the Indemnifying Party the right of access, during normal business hours, to pertinent books and records for purposes of
inspection and making copies, but all reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the foregoing shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 11.3.4 Failure to Defend. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any Claim, then
any failure of the Indemnified Party to defend or to 
  

 19 

 participate in the defense of such Claim, or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations hereunder. 
  
 11.3.5 Remedies Cumulative.
The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by any party hereto of any other right or the seeking of any other remedy against the other parties hereto.

 SCHEDULES 
  
 Schedules have been omitted. 

 Exhibit A 
  
 GUARANTY 
  
 THIS GUARANTY dated as of July 17, 2003 is executed by the undersigned in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the “Bank”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E
T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated as of July 17, 2003 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) between the Bank and Fountain Powerboats, Inc. (the “Company”), the Bank has made an extension of credit to the
Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the undersigned will derive direct
and/or indirect benefits from the extensions of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below) as hereinafter set forth; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned agrees as follows: 
  
 1. Guaranty. The
undersigned hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of (a) all obligations of the
Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, which arise out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, in an amount not to exceed
Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00), and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Bank in enforcing this Guaranty against the undersigned (all such
obligations, collectively, the “Liabilities”). 
  
 2. Liabilities Immediately Due Under Certain Circumstances. (a) The undersigned agrees that, in the event of the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding (whether voluntary or involuntary) with respect to the
Company, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, the undersigned will pay to the Bank forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by the undersigned if all Liabilities were
then due and payable. 
  
 (b) If any Event of Default (as defined
below) shall occur and be continuing under the Primary Credit Agreement (as defined below), and such Event of Default shall continue for 10 days without being cured or waived, then the Bank may demand immediate payment by the undersigned hereunder
of all Liabilities. For purposes of the foregoing, (a) “Primary Credit 
  

 A-1 

 Agreement” means (i) the Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2002 among the undersigned, various subsidiaries
of the undersigned, various financial institutions and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), or (ii) if the
Existing Credit Agreement ceases to exist, the largest (in terms of dollar amount) syndicated revolving credit facility to which the undersigned is a party as in effect from time to time (or, if no such syndicated revolving credit facility is in
effect, as in effect on the last date on which the undersigned was a party to a syndicated revolving credit facility); and (b) “Event of Default” means (i) an “Event of Default” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement or (ii)
a comparable event as defined in any other Primary Credit Agreement. 
  
 3. Guaranty Continuing and Irrevocable, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not only of collection, and shall remain in full force
and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of the undersigned) until all commitments of the Bank under the Credit Agreement have terminated and all Liabilities have been paid in full. 
  
 4. Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The undersigned agrees that
if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Bank to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Bank for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Company or the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such
application by the Bank, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Bank had not been made. 
  
 5. Permitted Actions by Bank. The Bank may, from time to time, at its
sole discretion and without notice to, or further consent from, the undersigned, take any or all of the following actions without affecting the liability of the undersigned hereunder: (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to
secure any of the Liabilities, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, and (c) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the
Liabilities when due, whether or not the Bank shall have resorted to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Guaranty shall prohibit
any change in the interest rate on any Liabilities in accordance with, or any scheduled or mandatory prepayment required by, the express terms of the promissory note evidencing the Liabilities as in effect on the date hereof. 
  
 6. Delay of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for
the account of the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not be subrogated to any rights of the Bank until such time as the Bank shall have received payment of the full amount of all Liabilities. 
  
 7. Representations and Warranties. The undersigned represents and
warrants to the Bank that (a) the undersigned is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (b) the undersigned has the power and authority to execute and 
  

 A-2 

 deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c) this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the undersigned and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws applicable to the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity; and (d) the execution and delivery by the undersigned of this Guaranty and the performance by the undersigned of its obligations hereunder will not render the
undersigned insolvent or violate or conflict with the charter or by-laws of the undersigned or any instrument, judgment, decree or order, or any statute, rule or governmental regulation, applicable to the undersigned or any term or provision of any
material agreement to which the undersigned is a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default under any such agreement, or result in the creation of any security interest or other lien on any of its properties or assets pursuant to any of
the foregoing. 
  
 8. Certain Waivers by the Undersigned.
The undersigned expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by the Bank of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation of any of the Liabilities (so long as the aggregate principal amount of all Liabilities does not exceed
$18,000,000), (c) presentment, (d) all diligence in collection of or realization upon any Liabilities, and (e) the benefits of any provision of law requiring that the Bank exhaust any right or remedy, or take any action against Company, any other
person and/or any property, including but not limited to the provisions of N.C. Gen. Stat. Sections 26-7 through 26-9, inclusive, as amended. 
  
 9. Delay by Bank not a Waiver, etc. No delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and
no single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon
the Bank except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Bank. No action of the Bank permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Bank or the obligations of the undersigned under this
Guaranty. 
  
 10. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty
shall be binding upon the undersigned and the successors and assigns of the undersigned and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and the successors and assigns of the Bank. All references herein to the Company and to the undersigned, respectively,
shall be deemed to include all of its respective successors, whether immediate or remote. 
  
 11. Governing Law; Severability. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of North Carolina. Wherever possible each provision of this Guaranty shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. 
  
 12. Arbitration and Jury Trial Waiver. 
  
 (a) This Section 12 concerns the resolution of any controversy or claim, whether arising in contract or tort or by statute, that arises out of or
relates to: (i) this Guaranty (including 
  

 A-3 

 all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof); or (ii) any document related to this Guaranty (any of the foregoing a
“Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “Bank” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any
obligation described in or evidenced by this Guaranty. 
  
 (b) At
the request of the undersigned or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this Guaranty provides
that it is governed by the law of a specified state. 
  
 (c)
Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (“JAMS”) and the terms of this Section 12. In the
event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section 12 shall control. 
  
 (d) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in Lake County, Illinois. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; provided that if one or more Claims
exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of either the undersigned or the Bank, such Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90 days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of
commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced. 
  
 (e) The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if
so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning
this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees if appropriate. 
  
 (f) This Section 12 does not limit the right of the undersigned or the Bank, as applicable, to: (i) exercise
self-help remedies, including but not limited to setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights; or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain
an interim remedy, including but not limited to injunctive relief, writ of possession, appointment of a receiver or additional or supplementary remedies. 
  
 (g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of the undersigned or the Bank thereafter to require submittal of the
Claim to arbitration. 
  
 (h) BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION,
EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK IRREVOCABLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM. 
  

 A-4 

 FURTHERMORE, WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, TO THE EXTENT ANY CLAIM IS NOT
ARBITRATED, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK IRREVOCABLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF SUCH CLAIM. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE UNDERSIGNED ISSUING, AND THE BANK ACCEPTING, THIS
GUARANTY. 
  
 13. Effect of Exercise of Purchase Option.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, if the undersigned exercises the Purchase Option under and as defined in the Contingent Purchase Agreement dated as of July 17, 2003 between the undersigned and the Bank (as amended or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), then this Guaranty shall be deemed to be terminated (and any demand hereunder shall be revoked) immediately without any further action by the undersigned or the Bank (but
subject to immediate reinstatement if for any reason the undersigned fails to pay the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on the scheduled Purchase Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)). 
  

 A-5 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above
written.

 WHEREAS,

 WHEREAS, RMF also is President and Chief Executive Officer and a major stockholder of FPII and Company desires to have RMF provide certain services to
Mercury in exchange for Mercury entering into this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Brunswick is guaranteeing (the “Guaranty”) a loan (the “Loan”) made to Company, as contemplating by that certain Master Agreement, dated July 17, 2003, by and between Brunswick, RMF, Company and FPII.

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties have agreed as follows:

  
 ARTICLE I 
 TERM; CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	1.1	 	The term (the “Term”) of this Agreement shall be from the date of this Agreement to the date that is the longer of (a) seven (7) years or (b) the end of the second model
year after the year in which the complete repayment of the Loan (other than through extension or refinancing) and the extinguishment of the Guaranty occurs. 

  

	1.2	 	The specific terms and conditions of this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties by either party except with approval of both parties, as required by
law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange, court or governmental authority. Any and all Mercury, FPII or Company confidential information or material acquired by Mercury, Company or FPII and RMF during the period of this agreement is
the sole property of the company of origin, and shall not be disclosed to anyone without 

  

 B-1 

	 	 
specific written permission from the company of origin. These obligations of confidentiality shall continue beyond the termination of this Agreement.

  
 ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASE REQUIREMENTS OF COMPANY; PRODUCT MODIFICATION 
  

	2.1	 	During the Term of this Agreement, (a) FPII shall cause Company to, and Company shall, purchase from Mercury, and Mercury shall sell to Company, subject to availability, all of
Company’s requirements of outboard motors, stern drive or inboard engines, remote controls, throttle and shift cables, propellers, K-planes, and other accessories related to the foregoing (“Products”) except that (i) Company may
purchase from other parties products in categories which Mercury does not manufacture, (ii) Company may purchase from other parties Products which are unavailable from Mercury due to production shortages, (iii) Company shall not be required to
purchase from Mercury Products that Company also manufactures as of the date hereof, other than engines and drives and (iv) Company shall not be required to purchase from Mercury remote controls, throttle and shift cables, propellers and other
accessories to the extent technically infeasible or qualitatively inadequate for the boat for which they are intended. For purposes of this Agreement, Products will be considered “unavailable” if Mercury is unable to provide such properly
forecasted Products within 30 days of scheduled delivery thereof. If Mercury becomes aware that it will be unable to meet a scheduled delivery of Products, Mercury shall notify Company as soon as reasonably practicable that it will not be able to
make such delivery. (Mercury reserves the right to allocate Products among Company and Mercury’s other customers on a pro rata basis in accordance with Mercury’s stated policies regarding such matters.)

control. Mercury shall not be responsible for failures to introduce anticipated Products, the introduction of which may be delayed due to developmental difficulties or events beyond Mercury’s control, or which Mercury may, in the exercise of
its discretion, decide not to introduce for any reason. The announcement of any anticipated Product shall not be regarded as a promise or guarantee of any kind that the product will ultimately reach the market in the same configuration as announced,
or at all. Mercury agrees to keep Company informed of any such proposed changes at the same time that Mercury notifies its other customers of such changes. Company may treat any Products as they existed before such change as “unavailable”
for purposes of this Agreement at such time as 

  

 B-2 

	 	 
Mercury cannot meet forecasted demand for such Products, consistent with Section 2.1 of this Agreement. 

  
 ARTICLE III

any and all areas deemed prudent by Mercury with the consent of Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina. 
  
 5.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be in effect up to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 5.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective successors and assigns of Brunswick and the Bank. 
  
 5.8 Arbitration; Wavier of Jury Trial. (a) This Section 5.8 concerns the resolution of any controversy or
claim, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, that arises out of or relates to: (i) this Agreement (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof); or (ii) any document related to this Agreement (any of the foregoing a
“Claim”).  
  
 (b) At the request of
Brunswick or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed
by the law of the State of North Carolina. 
  
 (c) Arbitration
proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (“JAMS”) and the terms of this Section 5.8. In the event of any
inconsistency, the terms of this Section 5.8 shall control. 
  
 (d) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in Lake County, Illinois. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; provided that if one or more Claims exceed $5,000,000,
upon the request of either Brunswick or the Bank, such Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90 days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise
written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced. 
  
 (e) The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration
on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or
whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees if appropriate. 
  

 C-5 

 (f) This Section 5.8 does not limit the right of Brunswick or the Bank, as applicable, to: (i)

 Exhibit D 
  
 RMF REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT 
  

THIS RMF REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of July         , 2003 is
between Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. (“RMF”) and Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. Brunswick, RMF, Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. and Fountain Powerboats, Inc. are parties to a Master Agreement dated as of July         , 2003 (as amended or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Master Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Agreement. 
  
 B. As contemplated by the Master Agreement, RMF and Brunswick have guaranteed all liabilities of the Company under the Loan
Agreement. 
  
 C. RMF will materially benefit from the Loan
Agreement and Brunswick’s guaranty of the Bank Liabilities and has agreed to reimburse Brunswick for certain payments which may be made by Brunswick under the Brunswick Guaranty or the Contingent Purchase Agreement. 
  
 D. RMF acknowledges and agrees that Brunswick would not have issued the
Brunswick Guaranty absent RMF’s agreement to reimburse Brunswick pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 AGREEMENTS 
  
 In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, agreements and warranties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Agreement to Reimburse Payments. RMF unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that he will, immediately upon demand, reimburse Brunswick for all
amounts in excess of $14,700,000 which Brunswick may pay to the Bank (i) to purchase the Loan and the other Bank Liabilities pursuant to the Contingent Purchase Agreement or (ii) pursuant to the Brunswick Guaranty (any such payment made by Brunswick
in excess of such amount, a “Reimbursable Payment”). RMF further agrees to pay, immediately upon demand, all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Brunswick in enforcing this Agreement and collecting the amount of any Reimbursable
Payment from RMF (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges). 
  
 2. Procedure for Reimbursement. Brunswick shall give written notice to RMF of the making of, and the amount of, any Reimbursable Payment. Immediately (and in any event within five business days) upon receipt of
such notice, RMF shall reimburse Brunswick for the 
  

 D-1 

 
amount of such Reimbursable Payment by delivery of immediately available funds to such bank and account as Brunswick may reasonably specify. 
  
 3. Interest On Unpaid Amounts. To the extent RMF fails to reimburse
Brunswick for any Reimbursable Payment within one business day after notice thereof pursuant to Section 2 (and without limiting RMF’s obligation to pay Brunswick the amount of such payment), RMF shall pay interest on the unreimbursed
amount at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the prime rate (the “Prime Rate”) announced by the Bank from time to time at its principal office in Charlotte (changing as and when the Prime Rate changes) plus 3%. 
  
 4. Obligations Unconditional, etc. The obligations of RMF hereunder
are unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and shall remain in full force and effect until all commitments of the Bank under the Loan Agreement have terminated and all Bank Liabilities have been paid in full. 
  
 5. Reinstatement of Obligations. RMF agrees that if at any time all or
any part of any payment theretofore applied to any of the Bank Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Bank or Brunswick for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Company or RMF), such Bank Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Bank or
Brunswick, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Bank Liabilities, all as though such application by the Bank or Brunswick had not been made. 
  
 6. Delay of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for
the account of RMF pursuant to this Agreement, RMF shall not be subrogated to any right of the Bank or Brunswick against the Company until such time as all Bank Liabilities have been paid in full in cash and, if applicable, Brunswick has received
payment in full in cash of all amounts paid by Brunswick under the Brunswick Guaranty and/or the Contingent Purchase Agreement together with, in the case of any payment under the Brunswick Guaranty, interest thereon (from and including the date of
payment by Brunswick to but excluding the date Brunswick is reimbursed therefor) at the same rate per annum as would have been applicable to the Bank Liabilities paid by Brunswick (or, in the absence of such a rate, at the Prime Rate plus 3%).

  
 7. Amendments, etc. This Agreement may be amended,
modified or supplemented, but only in writing signed by each party hereto. 
  
 8. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the address, and shall be deemed given at the time, specified in or pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Master Agreement. 
  
 9. Delay by Brunswick not a Waiver, etc. No delay on the part of
Brunswick in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Brunswick of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
No action of Brunswick permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of Brunswick or the obligations of RMF under this Agreement. 
  

 D-2 

 10. Security. The obligations of RMF hereunder are secured as more fully set forth in the Master
Agreement. 
  
 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement
shall be binding upon RMF and the heirs and legal representatives of RMF and shall inure to the benefit of Brunswick and the successors and assigns of Brunswick. 
  
 12. Applicable Law; Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of North Carolina. The parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding brought in connection with or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought solely in the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
Illinois or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, in the State Court located in Lake County, Illinois. Any party may plead this Section 12 as a waiver of jurisdiction in any other court in which an action, suit or proceeding is brought.

  
 13. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM
ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. 
  
 14. Relationship to RMF Guaranty. The parties hereto (a) acknowledge that if Brunswick purchases the Bank Liabilities
pursuant to the Contingent Purchase Agreement for more than $14,700,000, then Brunswick may have claims against RMF under this Agreement and under the RMF Guaranty (as assignee of the Bank); and (b) agree that under such circumstances, (i) Brunswick
may enforce its rights under this Agreement and/or the RMF Guaranty concurrently and/or successively in such order as Brunswick may elect and (ii) the total recovery under both this Agreement and the RMF Guaranty shall not exceed the amount of the
Bank Liabilities which Brunswick may pay to the Bank in excess of $14,700,000 plus enforcement and collection costs incurred under this Agreement and/or the RMF Guaranty. RMF shall not challenge any amounts paid by Brunswick to the Bank as
unreasonable, unnecessary, made in bad faith, voluntarily made or as somehow being otherwise made in a manner that does not support Brunswick’s request for reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 15. Termination. At such time as the Bank Liabilities have been
indefeasibly and irrevocably reduced or paid down to $14,700,000 or less and there is no ability for the Bank Liabilities to increase to more than $14,700,000, this Agreement shall terminate and Brunswick shall release all collateral securing
RMF’s obligations hereunder. At such time, Brunswick shall also acknowledge that it has no further rights under the RMF Guaranty. 
  
 16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall not affect or impair the
validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other provisions hereof, and there shall be substituted for the 
  

 D-3 

 
provision at issue a valid and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered as of
the day and year first above written.
