Risk Factors

This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the
factors set forth below, those discussed in ''Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations'' and those
discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Operations. The Company's
business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly
seasonal. Strong sales typically begin in January with the onset of the
public boat and recreation shows, and continue through July. Over the
previous four-year period, the average net sales for the quarterly
periods ended March 31 and June 30 represented in excess of 28% and 37%,
respectively, of the Company's average annual net sales. If, for any
reason, the Company's sales were to be substantially below those normally
expected during these periods, the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely
affected. The Company generally realizes significantly lower sales in the
quarterly period ending December 31, resulting in operating losses during
that quarter.

The Company's business is also significantly affected by weather
patterns which may adversely impact the Company's operating results. For
example, drought conditions or merely reduced rainfall levels, as well as
excessive rain, may force area lakes to close or render boating dangerous
or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for the Company's
products. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter
conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations.
Although the Company's geographic expansion has reduced, and is expected
to continue to reduce, the overall impact on the Company of adverse
weather conditions in any one market area, such conditions will continue
to represent potential, material adverse risks to the Company and its
future financial performance. Due to the foregoing factors, among others,
the Company's operating results in some future quarters may be below the
expectations of stock market analysts and investors. In such event, there
could be an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price
of the Common Stock. See ''Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.''

Impact of General Economic Conditions and Discretionary Consumer
Spending. The Company's operations are dependent upon a number of
factors relating to or affecting consumer spending. The Company's
operations may be adversely affected by unfavorable local, regional or
national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic
prospects that reduce consumer spending in the markets served by the
Company's stores. Consumer spending on non-essential goods such as
recreational boats can also be adversely affected due to declines in
consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are
positive. In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels
are also reduced, often resulting in disproportionately large declines in
the sale of high-dollar items such as recreational boats. For example,
during the Company's 1988-1990 fiscal years, the Texas economy was
severely depressed due to declines in the financial, oil and gas and real
estate markets. While the Company remained profitable during these
periods, its operating performance declined. There can be no assurance
that a similar economic downturn might not recur in Texas or any other
market or that the Company could remain profitable during any such
period. Similarly, rising interest rates could have a negative impact on
consumers' ability or willingness to obtain financing from third-party
lenders, which could also adversely affect the ability of the Company to
sell its products. Changes in federal and state tax laws including,
without limitation, the imposition or proposed adoption of luxury or
similar taxes on certain consumer products, could also influence
consumers' decisions to purchase products offered by the Company and
could have a negative effect on the Company's sales. Local influences
such as corporate downsizing, military base closings and the Mexican peso
devaluation have adversely affected and may continue to influence the
Company's operations in certain markets.

Dependence Upon Expansion. A significant portion of the Company's
growth has resulted from, and will continue to be increasingly dependent
upon, the addition of new stores and continued sales and profitability
from existing stores. Since October 1991, at which time the Company
operated five stores in Texas, the Company has opened or acquired 15 new
store locations in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Florida. During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the stores
added since October 1991 have collectively accounted for approximately
70.6% and 57.6%, respectively, of the Company's aggregate net sales.
Comparable store sales increased 5.7% and 4.3% in fiscal years 1997 and
1996, respectively. Recent rates of comparable store sales and net income
growth are not necessarily indicative of the comparable store performance
that may be achieved by the Company in the foreseeable future. See
''Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.''

The Company intends to continue to pursue a strategy of growth into
new markets through acquiring existing boat retailers, converting
compatible facilities to Travis Boating Centers and building new store
facilities. Accomplishing these goals for expansion will depend upon a
number of general factors, including the identification of new markets in
which the Company can obtain approval to sell its existing or
substantially similar product lines, the Company's financial
capabilities, the hiring, training and retention of qualified personnel
and the timely integration of new stores into existing operations. The
acquisition strategy will further depend upon the Company's ability to
locate suitable acquisition candidates at a reasonable cost and to
dispose, timely and effectively, of the acquired entity's remaining
inventory, as well as the ability of the Company to sell its Travis
Edition product line to the customer base of the previous owner. There
can be no assurance that the Company can identify suitable acquisition
candidates or complete acquisitions on terms and conditions favorable to
the Company.

The strategy of growth through conversion of compatible facilities to
Travis Boating Centers or the construction of new Travis Boating Centers
will further depend upon the Company's ability (i) to locate and
construct suitable facilities at a reasonable cost in those new markets
in which the Company believes it can obtain adequate market penetration
at standard operating margins without the acquisition of an existing
dealer, (ii) to obtain the reliable data necessary to determine the size
and product preferences of such potential markets and (iii) to introduce
successfully its Travis Edition line. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to open and operate new stores on a timely or
profitable basis. Moreover, the costs associated with opening such stores
may adversely affect the Company's profitability. See ''Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.''

Management of Growth. The Company has undergone a period of rapid
growth. Management has expended and expects to continue to expend
significant time and effort in acquiring and opening new stores. There
can be no assurance that the Company's systems, procedures and controls
will be adequate to support the Company's expanding operations. The
inability of the Company to manage its growth properly could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

The Company's management information system is designed to improve its
ability to monitor and manage its geographically dispersed stores. This
system is operational in 19 of the Company's 20 stores, with the most
recently acquired store planned to be operational during fiscal 1998.
There can be no assurance that the system will function as planned or
that the system can be integrated smoothly with new store openings and
acquisitions.

The Company's planned growth will also impose significant added
responsibilities on members of senior management, including the need to
identify, recruit and integrate new senior level managers, and the
ability to maintain or expand Travis Edition's and Travis Boating
Center's successful appeal to consumers. There is no assurance that any
additions to management can be readily and successfully achieved or that
the Company will be able to continue to grow its business.

Reliance on Manufacturers and Other Key Vendors. The Company's
success is dependent upon its relationship with, and favorable pricing
arrangements from, a limited number of major manufacturers. In the event
these arrangements were to change or terminate for any reason, including
changes in competitive, regulatory or marketing practices, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations could be
adversely affected.

As is typical in the industry, the Company deals with each of its
manufacturers pursuant to an annually renewable, non-exclusive, dealer
agreement that does not contain any contractual provisions concerning
product pricing or required purchasing levels. Pricing is generally
established on a model year basis, but is subject to change at the
manufacturer's sole discretion.

The Company purchased approximately 100% of its new outboard motors
for use on its Travis Edition lines of recreational boats in fiscal years
1997 and 1996, respectively, from Outboard Marine Corporation (''OMC''),
the manufacturer of Johnson outboard motors. Unlike the Company's other
dealer agreements, the Company's agreement with OMC is multi-year in
nature. The current agreement, which is in the first of five years, sets
forth an established discount level from the then prevailing dealer net
price over the entire term of the agreement. This dealer agreement may be
canceled by either party if the volume of product purchased or available
to be purchased is not maintained at pre-established levels. If the
Company's contract with OMC were canceled or modified, it could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

Approximately 34.3% and 22.7% of the Company's net inventory purchases
in fiscal years 1997 and 1996, respectively, were from a single boat
supplier. The Company also currently purchases a high percentage of the
annual production of a limited number of boat manufacturers. To ensure
adequate inventory levels to support the Company's expansion, it may be
necessary for such manufacturers to increase production levels or
allocate a greater percentage of their production to the Company. In the
event that the operations of the Company's manufacturers were interrupted
or discontinued, the Company could experience temporary inventory
shortfalls, or disruptions or delays with respect to any unfilled
purchase orders then outstanding. Although the Company believes that
adequate alternate sources would be available that could replace a
manufacturer as a product resource, there can be no assurance that such
alternate sources will be available at the time of any such interruption
or that alternative products will be available at comparable quality and
prices. The unanticipated failure of any manufacturer or supplier to meet
the Company's requirements with regard to volume or design
specifications, the Company's inability to locate acceptable alternative
manufacturers or suppliers, the Company's failure to have dealer
agreements renewed or to meet certain volume requirements with regard to
purchasing, or any substantial increase in the manufacturer's pricing to
the Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Limitations to Market Entry. Under certain of its dealer agreements,
the Company must obtain permission from its manufacturers to sell
products in new markets. While the Company has received permission to
sell Johnson motors and various boat lines in its immediate expansion
markets, manufacturers have not granted such permission to the Company in
each of its broader target markets. While the Company believes it can
sell products of other manufacturers in new markets, there can be no
assurance that all of the Company's current manufacturers will grant
permission for the Company to sell in new markets, or if unable to obtain
such permission, that the Company can obtain suitable alternative sources
of supply.

Unlike other states the Company has targeted for expansion, the State
of Oklahoma has had restrictions on the location of competing marine
dealers that limit the ability of new entrants in the retail boat
industry to compete in Oklahoma. There can be no assurance that other
states will not pass similar or other restrictions limiting new
competition.

Income from Financing, Insurance and Extended Service Contracts. A
substantial portion of the Company's income results from the origination
and placement of customer financing and the sale of insurance products
and extended service contracts (collectively, ''F&I Products''), the most
significant component of which is the income resulting from the Company's
origination of customer financing. For example, during fiscal years 1997
and 1996, respectively, F&I Products accounted for approximately 4.4% and
4.2% of net sales and approximately 16.7% and 16.5% of gross profit. The
Company's lenders may choose to pursue this business directly, rather
than through intermediaries such as the Company. Moreover, lenders may
impose terms in their boat financing arrangements with the Company that
may be materially unfavorable to the Company or its customers. For these
and other reasons, the Company could experience a significant reduction
in income resulting from reduced demand for its customer financing
programs. In addition, if profit margins are reduced on sales of F&I
Products, or if these products are no longer available, it would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. Furthermore, although optional extended
service contracts sold by the Company are from third party providers that
have further reinsured their warranty exposure and the Company has never
experienced any claims due to the default of a third party extended
service contract provider, the Company may experience significant breach
of warranty claims as a result of the failure of a third party extended
service contract provider or reinsurers that may, in the aggregate, be
material to the Company's business.

Availability of Financing. The Company currently has significant
floor plan and other inventory lines of credit from financial
institutions and other lenders, which the Company believes reflect
competitive terms and conditions. While the Company believes it will
continue to obtain comparable financing from these or other lenders,
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the
Company. The failure to obtain sufficient financing on favorable terms
and conditions could have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition and results of operations of the Company. See
''Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources.''

Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company believes its success
depends, in large part, upon the continued services of key management
personnel, including Mark T. Walton, Chairman of the Board and President;
Ronnie L. Spradling, Executive Vice President-New Store Development; and
Michael B. Perrine, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer; and
other key employees. Although the Company has employment agreements
through TBC Management, Ltd. (an affiliated partnership of the Company)
with each of Messrs. Walton, Spradling and Perrine expiring in June 1999,
the loss of any of these individuals could materially and adversely
affect the Company, including its business expansion plans. The Company
maintains and is the beneficiary of key-man life insurance policies on
Messrs. Walton and Perrine in the amount of $1.0 million each, and on Mr.
Spradling in the amount of $500,000.

Product and Service Liability Risks. Products sold or serviced by
the Company may expose it to potential liability for personal injury or
property damage claims relating to the use of those products.
Additionally, as a result of the Company's activities in custom packaging
its Travis Edition lines, the Company may be included as a defendant in
product liability claims relating to defects in manufacture or design.
Historically, the resolution of product liability claims has not
materially affected the Company's business. The Company generally
requires manufacturers from which it purchases products to supply proof
of product liability insurance. Although the Company maintains third-
party product liability insurance that it believes to be adequate, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not experience legal claims in
excess of its insurance coverage, or claims that are ultimately not
covered by insurance. Furthermore, if any significant claims are made
against the Company, the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations may be adversely affected by related negative
publicity.

.

Volatility of Stock Price. Prior to the Company's initial public
offering in June 1996, there was no public trading market for the
Company's Common Stock. There can be no assurance of an ongoing active
trading market or that the market price of the Common Stock will not
decline. It is anticipated that there will be limited float in the market
due to the relatively low number of shares owned by the public and
consequently, fluctuations in the market price for the Common Stock could
be significant. Recent market conditions for newly public companies, as
well as the Company's quarterly variations in operating results due to
seasonality and other factors, are likely to result in significant
fluctuations in the market price for the Common Stock. Future
announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including
government regulations, litigation or changes in earnings estimates or
descriptive materials published by analysts, may also cause the market
price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations,
as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as
recessions, may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.
See ''Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.''

Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Sales of substantial amounts of the
Company's Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such
sales may occur, could have a material adverse effect on the market price
of the Common Stock. As of December 18, 1997, the Company, its officers
and directors and certain stockholders, beneficially own or control
voting rights, in the aggregate, on approximately 1,619,557 shares of
Common Stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that
future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale,
will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to
time.

Anti-takeover Effect of Articles and Bylaw Provisions. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation provide that up to 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock may be issued by the Company from time to time in one or
more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed
upon any unissued series of preferred stock and to fix the number of
shares of any series of preferred stock and the designation of any such
series, without any vote or action by the Company's stockholders. The
Board of Directors may authorize and issue preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation also allow the Board of Directors to fix the number of
directors in the Bylaws with no minimum or maximum number of directors
required. The Company's Bylaws currently provide that the Board of
Directors shall be divided into three classes of two or three directors
each, with each class elected for three-year terms expiring in successive
years. The effect of these provisions may be to delay or prevent a tender
offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in the
stockholder's best interest, including attempts that might result in a
premium over the market price for the shares held by the stockholders.

Item 1. Business

General

Travis Boats & Motors, Inc. (''Travis Boats'' or the ''Company'') is a
leading multi-state superstore retailer of recreational boats, motors,
trailers and related marine accessories in the southern United States.
The Company, which currently operates 20 stores under the name Travis
Boating Center in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Florida differentiates itself from competitors by
providing customers a unique superstore shopping experience that
showcases a broad selection of high quality boats, motors, trailers and
related marine accessories at firm, clearly posted low prices. Each
superstore also offers complete customer service and support, including
in-house financing programs and full-service repair facilities staffed by
factory-trained mechanics.

History

Travis Boats was incorporated as a Texas corporation in 1979. As used
herein and unless otherwise required by the context, the terms ''Travis
Boats'' and the ''Company'' shall mean Travis Boats & Motors, Inc. and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Since its founding as a single retail store in Austin, Texas, the
Company has grown both through acquisitions and the establishment of new
store locations. During the 1980's, the Company expanded into San
Antonio, Texas with the construction of a new store facility. The Company
subsequently made acquisitions of boat retailers operating within the
Texas markets of Midland, Dallas and Abilene. It was during this initial
period of expansion that the Company began developing the systems
necessary to manage a multi-store operation and leveraging the economies
of scale associated with volume purchasing. The Company's success in
these areas led to the proprietary Travis Edition packaging concept and
the Company's pricing philosophy. Since 1990, Travis Boats has opened or
acquired 15 additional store locations in the following states: Texas
(3), Arkansas (2), Louisiana (3), Alabama (2), Tennessee (2), Mississippi
(1) and Florida (2).

Included in the new store acquisitions are the following transactions:

Effective September 20, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all
of the assets of Red River Marine, Inc., which operated store locations
in the resort communities of Hot Springs and Heber Springs, Arkansas.

Effective December 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Clay's Boats & Motors, Inc., which operated a single store
location in New Iberia, Louisiana.

Effective October 3, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of North Alabama Watersports, which operated a single store
location in Florence, Alabama.

Effective November 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Tri-Lakes Marine, Inc., which operated store locations in
Winchester, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama

Effective February 19, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Bent's Marine, Inc., which operated a single store location
in Metairie, Louisiana.

Effective August 1, 1997, the Company acquired selected assets from
McLeod Marine, Inc. of Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Effective September 30, 1997, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Adventure Marine and Outdoors, Inc. , which operated
a store location in Fort Walton Beach, Florida; Adventure Marine South,
Inc., which operated a store location in Key Largo, Florida, and
Adventure Boat Brokerage, Inc., which operated a store location in Fort
Walton Beach, Florida.

Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company has completed the
acquisition of assets of one corporation:

Effective November 20, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of Southeastern Marine Group, Inc., which operated a single
store location in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

The Company sells approximately 50 different models of brand-name
fishing, water-skiing and general recreational boats, along with motors,
trailers, accessories and related equipment. Personal watercraft, off-
shore fishing boats and cabin cruisers are also offered for sale at
selected store locations. During fiscal 1997, substantially all of the
boats sold range in size from 16 to 23 feet at prices ranging from $7,500
to $23,000 with gross profit margins between approximately 21% and 23%.
Approximately 4.5% of new boat sales are personal watercraft with retail
prices generally ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 and approximately 3.2% of
new boat sales are off-shore fishing boats and cruisers with lengths of
27 feet or greater and ranging in retail price from $50,000 to $300,000.

The Company custom designs and pre-packages combinations of popular
brand-name boats, such as Larson, Sprint, Pro-Line and Sea Ark boats with
Johnson outboard and other motors, trailers and numerous accessories,
under its proprietary Travis Edition product line. These signature Travis
Edition packages, which account for the vast majority of total new boat
sales, have been designed and developed in coordination with the
manufacturers and often include distinguishing features and accessories
that have historically been unavailable to, or listed as optional by,
many competitors. These factors enable the Company to provide the
customer with an exceptional product that is conveniently packaged for
immediate enjoyment and competitively priced.

The Company believes that it offers a selection of boat, motor and
trailer packages that fall within the price range of the majority of all
boats, motors and trailers sold in the United States. The Company's
product line generally consists of boat packages priced from $7,500-
$23,000 with approximate even distribution within this price range. As
the Company continues to operate in Florida and enters other coastal type
markets along the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast, management
believes that the distribution of off-shore fishing boats and cabin
cruisers will increase as a percentage of net sales. Management believes
that by combining flexible financing arrangements with an even
distribution of products through a broad price range, the Company is able
to offer boat packages to customers with different purchasing budgets and
varying income levels.

Effective September 30, 1995, the Company elected to change its fiscal
year end from December 31 to September 30. This change was made to
establish a fiscal year that more closely conforms to the business cycle
of the Company.

Business Strategy

Management of the Company believes it is the first to have developed a
multi-state, chain superstore merchandising strategy in the recreational
boating business. The Company's objective is to become the dominant
retailer of recreational boats, motors, trailers and marine accessories
in the southern United States, prior to its focus and possible expansion
into other regions. Management's merchandising strategy is based on
providing customers with a comprehensive selection of quality, brand name
boats and boating products in a comfortable superstore environment. The
Company intends to continue to build brand identity by placing the Travis
Edition name on complete boating packages. Travis Boats has developed and
implemented a business strategy designed to increase its market
penetration within both existing and new market areas through a variety
of advertising and promotional events. The Company intends to emphasize
the following key elements of its business strategy:

Travis Boating Center superstore. Travis Boating Center superstores
have a distinctive and stylish trade dress accented with deep blue
awnings, a nautical neon building decoration, expansive glass storefronts
and brightly lit interiors. The stores range in size from approximately
2,000 (temporary store locations) to over 33,000 square feet and
management estimates the average store size at approximately 21,000
square feet. The superstore locations present customers with a broad
array of boats and often over 9,000 parts and accessories in a clean,
well-stocked, air-conditioned shopping environment. All boats are
typically displayed fully rigged with motor, trailer and a complete
accessory package, giving a ''ready to take home'' impression.
Professionally-trained mechanics operate service bays, providing
customers with quality and reliable maintenance and repair service.

Travis Edition concept. The Company uses extensive market research,
combined with the design resources of its manufacturers, to develop
custom Travis Edition boating packages. The Company's significant
purchasing power and consequent ability to coordinate designs with
manufacturers have enabled the Company to obtain products directly from
the factory at the lowest prices, with favorable delivery schedules and
with distinguishing features and accessories that have historically been
unavailable to, or listed as optional by, many competitors. The Company
can also add certain additional features after receipt of the product to
enhance the Company's Travis Edition packages. Each Travis Edition is a
complete, full-feature package, including the boat, motor, trailer and
numerous additional accessories and design features often not found on
competitors' products, thus providing customers with superior value.
These features often include enhanced styling such as additional exterior
colors, complete instrumentation in dashboards, transoms warrantied for
life, canopy tops, trolling motors, upgraded interiors with stereos, wood
grain dashboards, in-dash depth finders, stainless steel motor propellers
and enhanced hull design not available on other models. In addition,
Travis Edition boats are identified by the Company's attractive private
label logo as well as the respective manufacturer's logo.

Unlike most recreational boat dealers, the Company establishes firm
prices on its Travis Edition packages and generally maintains such prices
for an entire season. Prices are advertised and clearly posted so that
the customer receives the same price at any Travis Boating Center. The
Company's selling philosophy eliminates customer anxiety associated with
bargaining or negotiation and results in a price at or below prices
generally available from competitors. The Company believes this pricing
strategy and low-pressure sales style provide the customer with the
comfort and confidence of having received a better boat with more
features at a lower price. In the Company's view, this approach has
promoted good customer relationships and enhanced the Company's
reputation in the industry as a leading provider of quality and value.

Boat Show Participation. The Company also participates in boat
shows, typically held in January through March, in each of its markets
and in certain markets of close proximity. These shows are normally held
at convention centers, with all area dealers purchasing space to display
their respective product offerings. Boat shows and other offsite
promotions generate a significant amount of interest in products and
often have an immediate impact on sales at a nominal incremental cost.
Although total boat show sales are difficult to assess, management
attributes a significant portion of the second fiscal quarter's net sales
to such shows.

F&I Products. In the Company's efforts to maintain customer service
and support for customers purchasing its Travis Edition boat packages it
also offers customers the ability to purchase extended service contracts
and insurance coverages, including credit life and accident/disability
coverages (collectively ''F&I Products''). The Company also offers to
assist the customer in obtaining financing for their boat purchase
through a diversified group of financial institutions with which the
Company maintains financing agreements. The Company earns commissions on
these F&I Products based upon the Company's mark-up over the cost of the
products. F&I Products account for a substantial portion of the Company's
income, the most significant component of which is the income resulting
from the Company's origination of customer financing.

Operations

Purchasing. The Company is the largest volume buyer in the United
States of Johnson outboard motors from Outboard Marine Corporation
(''OMC'') and is the largest domestic volume buyer of boats from
substantially all of the boat manufacturers it represents. As a result,
the Company has significant access to the manufacturers and substantial
input into the design process for the new boats that are introduced to
the market each year by such manufacturers. In addition, the Company has
designed and developed, in coordination with its manufacturers, signature
Travis Edition boating packages which account for the vast majority of
its total new boat sales. The Company's purchasing power allows it to
purchase boats that are pre-rigged for the Company's Travis Edition
lines. Approximately 34.3% and 22.7% of the Company's net purchases in
fiscal years 1997 and 1996, respectively, were from Genmar Industries
which manufactures the Larson, AquaSport and (formerly) the Cajun boat
lines.

The Company typically deals with each of its manufacturers pursuant to
an annually renewable, non-exclusive dealer agreement which does not
contain any contractual provisions concerning product pricing or
purchasing levels. Pricing is generally established on an annual basis,
but may be changed at the manufacturer's sole discretion. The Company's
agreement with OMC, unlike its other dealer agreements, is multi-year in
nature. The current agreement, which is in the first of five years, sets
forth an established discount level from the then prevailing OMC dealer
net price over the entire term of the agreement. This dealer agreement
may be canceled by either party if volume of product purchased or
available to be purchased is not maintained at pre-established levels.
OMC supplied products that represented approximately $17.7 million, or
42.1% and $20.3 million, or 38.7%, of the Company's net purchases during
fiscal years 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Pursuant to its arrangements with certain manufacturers, the Company's
right to display some product lines in certain markets may be restricted.

Floor plan and other inventory financing. The Company acquires a
substantial portion of its inventory through floor plan financing
agreements. Inventory is generally purchased under floor plan lines of
credit (secured by such inventory) maintained with third party finance
companies or under revolving lines of credit maintained with commercial
banks, depending upon the type of product purchased. The finance
companies maintain relationships with certain manufacturers that allow
the Company to obtain several months of interest-free financing,
generally from August of one year through at least May of the following
year. Management believes that these financing arrangements are standard
within the industry. As of September 30, 1997, the Company and its
subsidiaries owed an aggregate of approximately $20.4 million pursuant to
the floor plan and revolving lines of credit.

Competition. The Company operates in a highly competitive
environment. In addition to facing competition generally from businesses
seeking to attract discretionary spending dollars, the recreational boat
industry itself is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition
for customers, access to quality products, access to boat show space in
new markets and suitable store locations. The Company relies heavily on
boat shows to generate sales. If the Company is impeded in its ability to
participate in boat shows in its existing or targeted markets, it could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

The Company competes primarily with single location or single state
boat dealers and, to a lesser degree, with national specialty marine
stores, catalog retailers, sporting goods stores and mass merchants,
particularly with respect to parts and accessories. Dealer competition
continues to increase based on the quality of available products, the
price and value of the products and attention to customer service. There
is significant competition both within markets currently being served by
the Company and in new markets into which the Company plans to enter. The
Company competes in each of its markets with retailers of brands of boats
and motors not sold by the Company in that market. Management believes
that a trend in the industry is for independent dealers to attempt to
form buyer's groups, for manufacturers to include more features as
standard equipment on boats and consequently, for dealers to offer
packages comparable to those offered by the Company as its Travis Edition
lines. In addition, several of the Company's competitors, especially
those selling boating accessories, are large national or regional chains
that have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources
than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to compete successfully in the retail marine industry in the future.

Impact of Environmental and Other Regulatory Issues. On October 31,
1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (''EPA'') announced
proposed emissions regulations for outboard marine motors. The proposed
regulations would require a 75% average reduction in hydrocarbon
emissions for outboard motors and set standards for carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxide emissions as well. Under the proposed regulations,
manufacturers would begin phasing in low emission models in 1998 and have
nine years to achieve full compliance. The EPA estimated that its
proposed regulations, if enacted, will result in an increase in the
average price of an outboard marine motor of $700 after full
implementation of the regulations in the year 2006. Costs of comparable
new models, if materially more expensive than previous models, or the
manufacturer's inability to comply with EPA requirements, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is required to
dispose of certain waste products that are regulated by state or federal
agencies. These products include waste motor oil, tires, batteries and
certain paints. It is the Company's policy to use appropriately licensed
waste disposal firms to handle this refuse. If there were improper
disposal of these products, it could result in potential liability for
the Company. Although the Company does not own or operate any underground
petroleum storage tanks, it currently maintains several above-ground
tanks, which are subject to registration, testing and governmental
regulation.

Additionally, certain states have required or are considering
requiring a license in order to operate a recreational boat or personal
watercraft. While such licensing requirements are not expected to be
unduly restrictive, regulations may discourage potential first-time
buyers, thereby limiting future sales, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results
of operations.

Trademarks and service marks. The Company does not hold any
registered trade or service marks at this time but has trademark
applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the
names ''Travis Boating Center'' and ''Travis Edition,'' for its corporate
logo and for the overall appearance and trade dress of its Travis Boating
Centers. There can be no assurance that any of these applications will be
granted. However, based on a number of years of use, the Company believes
it has common law rights to these marks at least in its current market
areas.

Employees. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's staff consisted
of 369 employees, 356 of whom are full time. The full-time employees
include 20 in store level management and 20 in corporate administration
and management. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining
agreements and is not aware of any efforts to unionize its employees. The
Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Effective August 1, 1997, the Company acquired certain selected assets
from McLeod Marine, Inc. (''McLeod''). McLeod operates a single retail
store locations in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The certain selected assets
acquired included miscellaneous equipment, selected boat, motor and
trailer inventory, as well as certain parts and accessories. The purchase
price of $958,080 was paid in cash.

The certain selected acquired assets have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of
Travis Boating Center Mississippi which purchased the assets and has been
in operation since August, 1997 have been included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price
($958,080) has been allocated to the tangible net assets acquired
($730,080) based on their respective fair values at the date of
acquisition. The resulting excess purchase price ($228,000) was allocated
to noncompete agreements and to goodwill.

On December 12, 1997, effective as of September 30, 1997, the Company
consummated the acquisition of Adventure Marine, a retail boating
organization with store locations in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and Key
Largo, Florida, through the acquisition of 100% of the common stock of
three companies, Adventure Marine & Outdoors, Inc., Adventure Boat
Brokerage, Inc. and Adventure Marine South, Inc. (collectively the three
companies are referred to as "Adventure Marine"). The total
consideration for Adventure Marine consisted of $729,643 in cash,
$115,000 in notes payable to the sellers, the assumption of $5,535,861in
liabilities and $1,477,392 paid via the issuance of 88,361 newly issued

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K. The discussion in this
section of this Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in this section, those discussed in ''Risk Factors'' and those
discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

The following discussion compares fiscal years 1996 and 1997, which
reflects the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of North Alabama
Watersports, Inc. in October 1996, Tri-Lakes Marine, Inc. in November
1996, Bent's Marine, Inc. in February 1997, , as well as Adventure
Marine and Outdoors, Inc., Adventure Marine South, Inc. and Adventure
Boat Brokerage, Inc. in September 1997. The Company also acquired
certain selected assets from McLeod Marine, Inc. in August 1997. The
results of the aformentioned fiscal 1997 acquisitions from their
respective acquisition dates through September 30, 1997 are included in
the discussion below.

The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Red River
Marine, Inc. in September 1995 and also acquired substantially all of the
assets of Clay's Boats & Motors, Inc. in December 1995. The results of
Red River Marine and Clay's Boats & Motors from their respective
acquisition dates through September 30, 1996 are included in the
discussion below.

Effective September 30, 1995, the Company elected to change its fiscal
year end from December 31 to September 30. This change was made to
establish a fiscal year that more closely conforms to the business cycle
of the Company. The following discussion compares fiscal year 1996 to the
12 month period ended September 30, 1995, which reflects the inclusion of
the nine-month audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995 and the three-month unaudited consolidated
financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 in order to
provide a basis for comparing 12 months of operations.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain
financial data as a percentage of net sales:

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1996

Net sales. Net sales increased by 41.3% to $91.3million in fiscal
1997 from $64.6million in fiscal 1996. Of this increase in net sales,
$22.0 million, or 82.4% is related to the stores acquired or newly
opened in fiscal 1997, $2.1 million is attributable to a 5.7% growth in
comparable store sales (6 stores in base) and $1.2 million or 4.5% is
related to the five existing store locations which relocated or upgraded
facilities to meet the Company's superstore standards during fiscal years
1996 or 1997, and thus not yet includeable in the comparable store base.
General growth in overall sales volume was in part the result of growth
in new Travis Edition boating packages introduced in fiscal 1997. This
included the new addition of the Pro-Line and Polar brand boats as well
as new boat models introduced by the Company's existing boat
manufacturers. These additional new Travis Edition boat lines have
allowed the Company to further broaden its boat line-up in an effort to
continue to address the needs and desires of the recreational boating
population. During fiscal 1997, the Company experienced increased
parts/accessories and service labor sales as an increased percentage of
the Company's store base was renovated to superstore standards which
provide larger and more accessible areas to merchandise its product
selection and conduct repair work on boats. This resulted in enhanced
sales of parts/accessories and service labor both in actual dollars and
as a percentage of net sales. Parts/accessory sales increased from $5.7
million, or 8.8% of net sales, to $8.6 million, or 9.4% of net sales, in
fiscal years 1996 and 1997, respectively. Service labor sales increased
from $2.3 million, or 3.6% of net sales, to $3.3 million, or 3.6% of net
sales, in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, respectively. Net sales also
benefitted from the Company's introduction of an used boat superstore on
the premises of its Beaumont, Texas store location. The used boat sales
from this facility in fiscal 1997 were approximately $600,000. The
Company plans to continue to explore the used boat market and potential
sites for used boat superstores.

The Company discontinued its emphasis on the sales program featuring
weekend sales shows in the parking lots of local Sam's Clubs or certain
other large retailers as certain retailers did not allow for the Company
to display its entire product line which in turn did not allow for
maximum sales reach and productivity. This ''parking lot'' program which
was initiated with several shows in late 1995, expanded during fiscal
1996 to include a full-time travelling sales team and participation in
approximately 35 parking lot shows (primarily during the second and third
fiscal quarters) which generated net sales of approximately $2.5 million
during fiscal 1996.

Net sales from comparable stores, which had 6 stores included in the
base for calculation, increased 5.7% in fiscal 1997. The Company
relocated or renovated 5 stores and opened or acquired an additional 8
stores during fiscal years 1997 and 1996 rendering such locations to be
excluded from the comparable store base. The Company's planned
acquisition strategy and subsequent renovation of stores to superstore
standards is expected to continue to negatively impact the number of
stores includable in comparable store base calculations in relationship
to the total number of store locations operated. See ''Risk Factors-
Dependence on Expansion.'' As such, comparable store performance is
expected to remain unstable until higher percentages of the Company's
stores are includable in comparable store calculations.

Included within net sales is revenue that the Company earns related to
F&I Products. The Company, through relationships with various national
and local lenders, is able to place financing for its customers' boating
purchases. These lenders allow the Company to ''sell'' the loan at a rate
higher than a minimum rate established by each such lender and the
Company earns fees based on the percentage increase in the loan rate over
the lender's minimum rate. The Company sells these loans without recourse
except that in certain instances the Company must return the fees earned
if the customer repays the loan or defaults in the first 120-180 days.
The Company also sells, as a broker, certain types of insurance
(property/casualty, credit life, disability) and extended service
contracts. The Company may also sell these products at amounts over a
minimum established cost and earn income based upon the profit over the
minimum established cost. Net sales attributable to F&I Products
increased by 48.2% to approximately $4.0 million in fiscal 1997 from $2.7
million in fiscal 1996. This improvement was primarily due to higher net
spreads achieved in the placement of customer financing, as well as
overall increases in the percentage of customers buying these products
(which is referred to as ''sell-through''). This increase was enhanced by
the Company's continued emphasis on training of F&I employees and
achievement of established goals.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased by 45.3% to approximately $24.0
million in fiscal 1997 from $16.5 million in fiscal 1996. Gross profit as
a percent of sales increased to 26.2% in fiscal 1997 from 25.5% in fiscal
1996. The Company generally seeks to maintain a gross profit margin of
21% to 23% on its boating packages and is able to further leverage the
margin through sales of parts/accessories, service labor and F&I
Products, all of which generally produce gross profit margins in excess
of 25%. During fiscal 1997, the Company's gross profit margin was
positively impacted by the increased revenues derived from the
parts/accessory, service labor and used boat sales as discussed above in
Net Sales.

Net sales attributable to F&I Products, which have a significant
impact on the gross profit margin, contributed $4.0 million, or 16.6%, of
total gross profit in fiscal 1997, as compared to $2.7 million, or 16.4%,
of total gross profit for fiscal 1996. Net sales attributable to F&I
Products are reported on a net basis and therefore all of such sales
contribute directly to the Company's gross profit. The costs associated
with the sale of F&I Products are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 43.1% to $15.6 million in fiscal
1997 from $10.9 million for fiscal 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased by 20 basis
points to 17.0% in fiscal 1997 from 16.8% for fiscal 1996. In terms of
both actual dollars and as a percentage of net sales, the increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable
to increased expenses associated with the operation of a larger store
network, through growth in the corporate-office staffing infrastructure
and increased advertising costs associated with introducing Travis Boats
and its Travis Edition products into new geographically diverse regions.
Rental expense also increased as a percent of net sales as the Company
expanded and relocated its Corporate headquarters which had previously
been located in the Austin, Texas superstore facility. Opening and other
start-up costs associated with the relocation of the Arlington, Texas
facility to a new superstore location, and the opening of satellite sales
facility locations in Dallas, Texas and Hot Springs, Arkansas also
contributed to the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

Costs associated with being a public company such as annual reports,
investor relations, investor presentations and certain legal and
accounting issues further impacted selling, general and administrative
expenses.

Interest expense. Interest expense, in actual dollars, increased by
5.0% to $1.4 million in fiscal 1997 from $1.3 million in fiscal 1996.
However, interest expense as a percent of net sales, decreased to 1.5% in
fiscal 1997 from 2.0% in fiscal 1996. Effective with the funding of the
Company's Initial Public Offering in late June of 1996 and an additional
140,500 shares in the over-allotment option, the Company reduced certain
revolving indebtedness and certain long term indebtedness. The Company
has since continued to utilize available working capital and has
negotiated reduced borrowing rates under its floor plan and revolving
lines of credit which have combined to provide for the containment of
interest expense and its percentage decrease as a percent of net sales.
The Company intends to reborrow under its revolving credit lines as
necessary to fund future acquisitions and to support working capital
needs. See ''Liquidity and Capital Resources.''

Net income. Net income increased by 67.1% to approximately $4.0
million in fiscal 1997 from $2.4 million in fiscal 1996. Net income as a
percent of sales increased to 4.4% from 3.7% during the same periods. Net
income attributable to F&I Products increased by 48.2% to approximately
$1.2 million in fiscal 1997 from $810,000 in fiscal 1996. The calculation
of net income attributable to F&I Products is based on an allocation of
gross profit after adjusting for costs which management believes are
directly allocable to F&I Products.

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended
September 30, 1995

Net sales. Net sales increased by 45% to $64.6 million in fiscal
1996 from $44.6 million in the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. Of
this increase, $780,000 was attributable to 4.3% growth in comparable
store sales (4 stores in base) and $16.6 million, or 83.0% is related to
the four stores acquired or newly opened in 1995 and $2.5 million, or
12.5% is related to the four store existing store locations which
relocated or upgraded facilities to meet the Company's superstore
standards during fiscal 1996. General growth in overall sales volume was
in part the result of growth in new boating packages introduced in fiscal
1996 and in the expanded offering of boating packages introduced in 1995
along with increased sales of parts/accessories, service labor and F&I
Products. Net sales also benefitted from the Company's participation in
additional season-opening boat shows and a new sales program featuring
weekend sales shows in the parking lots of local Sam's Clubs or certain
other large retailers. The ''parking lot'' program which was initiated
with several shows in late 1995, expanded during fiscal 1996 to include a
full-time travelling sales team and participation in approximately 35
parking lot shows (primarily during the second and third fiscal quarters)
which generated net sales of approximately $2.5 million.

Net sales from comparable stores, which had 4 stores included in the
base for calculation, increased 4.3% in fiscal 1996. The Company
relocated or renovated 4 stores and acquired or opened an additional 4
stores during fiscal years 1995 and 1996 rendering such locations to be
excluded from the comparable store base. The Company's planned
acquisition strategy and subsequent renovation of stores to superstore
standards is expected to continue to negatively impact the number of
stores includable in comparable store base calculations in relationship
to the total number of store locations operated. See ''Risk Factors-
Dependence on Expansion.'' As such, comparable store performance is
expected to remain unstable until higher percentages of the Company's
stores are includable in comparable store calculations.

Included within net sales is revenue that the Company earns related to
F&I Products. The Company, through relationships with various national
and local lenders, is able to place financing for its customers' boating
purchases. These lenders allow the Company to ''sell'' the loan at a rate
higher than a minimum rate established by each such lender and the
Company earns fees based on the percentage increase in the loan rate over
the lender's minimum rate. The Company sells these loans without recourse
except that in certain instances the Company must return the fees earned
if the customer repays the loan or defaults in the first 120-180 days.
The Company also sells, as a broker, certain types of insurance
(property/casualty, credit life, disability) and extended service
contracts. The Company may also sell these products at amounts over a
minimum established cost and earn income based upon the profit over the
minimum established cost. Net sales attributable to F&I Products
increased by 75.3% to $2.7 million in fiscal 1996 from $1.6 million in
the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. This improvement was
primarily due to higher net spreads achieved in the placement of customer
financing, as well as overall increases in the percentage of customers
buying these products (which is referred to as ''sell-through''). This
increase was enhanced by the Company's continued emphasis on training of
F&I employees and achievement of established goals.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased by 52.8% to $16.5 million in
fiscal 1996 from $10.8 million in the twelve months ended September 30,
1995. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 25.5% in fiscal
1996 from 24.2% in the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. The
Company generally seeks to maintain a gross profit margin of 21% to 23%
on its boating packages and is able to further leverage the margin
through sales of parts/accessories, service labor and F&I Products, all
of which generally produce gross profit margins in excess of 25%.

Net sales attributable to F&I Products, which have a significant
impact on the gross profit margin, contributed $2.7 million, or 16.4%, of
total gross profit in fiscal 1996, as compared to $1.6 million, or 14.8%,
of total gross profit for the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. Net
sales attributable to F&I Products are reported on a net basis and
therefore all of such sales contribute directly to the Company's gross
profit. The costs associated with the sale of F&I Products are included
in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by 45.3% to $10.9 million in fiscal
1996 from $7.5 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
decreased to 16.8% in fiscal 1996 from 16.9% for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1995. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percent of net sales was the result of the economies of
operating a larger store base and regional market presence, particularly
in the leveraging of advertising, insurance, rents and
depreciation/amortization expenses. In terms of dollars, the increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable
to increased expenses associated with the operation of a larger store
network, the Company's participation in additional season-opening boat
shows and the expenses related to completing the implementation of the
Company's management information system in all of its stores operating as
of September 30, 1996. Additionally, the Company's management information
system has been implemented in the three store locations acquired since
September 30, 1996.

Interest expense. Interest expense, in actual dollars, increased by
45.7% to $1.3 million in fiscal 1996 from $845,000 in the twelve months
ended September 30, 1995. However, interest expense as a percent of net
sales remained flat at 1.9% and 2.0% in the 1995 and 1996 periods,
respectively. The Company incurred additional debt levels in the
acquisition of Red River Marine and Clay's Boats & Motors as well as
higher balances on the Company's floor plan lines of credit necessary to
support inventory requirements for the additional stores and actual
increase in net sales. Effective with the funding of the Company's
Initial Public Offering in late June of 1996 and an additional 140,500
shares in the over-allotment options, the Company reduced certain
revolving indebtedness and certain long term indebtedness. This reduction
of debt in the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters provided for
the containment of interest expense and its percentage decrease as a
percent of net sales. The Company intends to reborrow under its revolving
credit lines as necessary to fund future acquisitions and to support
working capital needs. See ''Liquidity and Capital Resources.''

Net income. Net income increased by 60.3% to $2.4 million in fiscal
1996 from $1.5 million in the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. Net
income as a percent of sales increased to 3.7% from 3.4% during the same
periods. Net income attributable to F&I Products increased by 73.8% to
$810,000 in fiscal 1996 from $466,000 in the twelve months ended
September 30, 1995. The calculation of net income attributable to F&I
Products is based on an allocation of gross profit after adjusting for
costs which management believes are directly allocable to F&I Products.

Quarterly Data and Seasonality

The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly financial
data for each of the Company's last eight quarters and such data
expressed as a percentage of the Company's net sales for the respective
quarters. The information has been derived from unaudited financial
statements that, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of such quarterly information. The operating results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
any future period.

The Company's business, as well as the sales demand for various types
of boats, tends to be highly seasonal. Strong sales typically begin in
January with the onset of the public boat and recreation shows, and
continue through July. Over the previous four-year period, the average
annual net sales for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30
represented in excess of 28% and 37%, respectively, of the Company's
annual net sales. With regard to net income, the Company historically
generates profits in three of its fiscal quarters and experiences
operating losses in the quarter ended December 31 due to a broad seasonal
slowdown in sales. During the quarter ended September 30, inventory
typically reaches its lowest levels and accumulated cash reserves reach
the highest levels. During the quarter ended December 31, the Company
generally builds inventory levels in preparation for the upcoming selling
season which begins with boat and recreation shows occurring during
January through March in certain market areas in which the Company
conducts business. Travis Boats' operating results would be materially
and adversely affected if net sales were to fall significantly below
historical levels during the months of January through June.

The Company's business is also significantly affected by weather
patterns. Weather conditions that are unseasonable or unusual may
adversely affect the Company's results of operations. For example,
drought conditions or merely reduced rainfall levels, as well as
excessive rain, may affect the Company's sale of boating packages and
related products and accessories. While management believes that the
Company's quarterly net sales will continue to be impacted by
seasonality, quarterly results may become less susceptible to certain
regional weather conditions as expansion occurs throughout the southern
United States.

Quarterly results may fluctuate as a result of the expenses associated
with new store openings or acquisitions. The Company, prior to fiscal
1997, had attempted to concentrate expansion during the seasonal slowdown
generally occurring in the quarter ending December 31. During fiscal
1997, the Company modified its acquisition strategy to acquire store
locations through-out the fiscal year. This was done to allow the
Company the opportunity to derive in-season sales from the acquisitions
as well as to provide a longer period in which to integrate the acquired
store's operations. Accordingly, the results for any quarterly period
may not be indicative of the expected results for any other quarterly
period.

Year 2000 Issues

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four (for example, "97" for 1997) to define
the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. In some cases, the new date will cause
computers to stop operating, while in other cases, incorrect output may
result. Since the Company is currently in the process of replacing and
upgrading its computer hardware and software systems, the Company
believes that there is little business risk attributable to the Year 2000
issue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital
to support operations including inventory requirements, off-season
liquidity and store expansion. These short-term cash needs have
historically been financed with cash from operations and borrowings under
the Company's floor plan and revolving credit lines (collectively the
"credit facilities"). At September 30, 1997, the Company had working
capital of $14.8 million, including $3.9 million in accounts receivable
(primarily contracts in transit from sales) and $34.5 million in
inventories, offset by approximately $5.2 million of accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, $14.4 million outstanding under floor plan lines of
credit, approximately $6.0 million under revolving lines of credit and
$4.3 million in other current liabilities and short-term indebtedness
including current maturities of long-term debt. Contracts in transit are
amounts receivable from a customer or a customer's financial institution
related to that customer's purchase of a boat. As of September 30, 1997,
the aggregate maximum borrowing limits under floor plan and revolving
lines of credit were approximately $25.0 million and $55.0 million,
respectively.

In fiscal 1996, operating activities utilized cash flows of $2.1
million due primarily to an increase of $6.2 million in inventories,
offset partially by unearned revenue of $1.2 million relating to a volume
purchase from a manufacturer. Of the increase in inventories,
approximately $4.4 million is related to stocking of the newly acquired
store locations since the acquisitions during fiscal 1996 occured in the
off-season and the acquired store locations had little remaining
inventory. Subsequently, the Company maintains a representative level of
stocking of its Travis Edition boating packages and generally over 9,000
stock keeping units in parts/accessories.

In fiscal 1997, operating activities utilized cash flows of $808,000
due primarily to an increase of $5.2 million and $2.0 million in
inventories and accounts receivable, respectively. These amounts were
offset partially by an increase in accrued liabilities of $913,000 and an
additional $1.4 million payable to the sellers of Adventure Marine (which
is payable in 88,361 shares of newly issued shares of the Company's
common stock) related to the purchase which is effective as of September
30, 1997. Of the increase in inventories, approximately $14.6 million is
related to inventory acquired in seven store acquisitions during fiscal
1997 and the initial stocking of Travis Editions product in the newly
acquired locations.

Financing activities in fiscal 1997 provided $10.8 million of cash
flows primarily from the net proceeds of borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities. Effective October 31, 1997, the Company renewed and
increased its $15.0 million revolving line of credit agented by
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. to a new credit limit of $55.0 million. The
line provides for borrowing pursuant to a borrowing formula based upon
the certain of the Company's inventory and accounts receivable.
Collateral consists of a security interest in specific inventories (and
proceeds thereof), accounts receivable and contracts in transit. The line
has a maturity on October 31, 1999 and pricing is at the Company's
election of the prime rate minus .375% or on a LIBOR based price
structure. There is a fee on the unused portion assessed quarterly. A
comprehensive loan agreement governs the line of credit. The agreement
contains financial covenants regulating debt service coverages, tangible
net worth, operating leverage and restrictions on dividends or
distributions. As of December 18, 1997, $18.3 million was drawn on the
revolving line and the Company could borrow an additional $3.1 million
based upon the revolving line's borrowing formula. Management believes
the Company to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of this
loan agreement.

The Company also maintains floor plan lines of credit with various
finance companies totalling approximately $25 million in credit limits,
which generally have no stated maturity and utilize subsidies from
manufacturers to provide for certain interest free periods each calendar
year (usually August through at least May). Certain floor plan lines of
credit with finance companies are governed by loan agreements containing
financial covenants concerning, among others, minimum tangible net worth
and leverage ratios. As of December 18, 1997, approximately $19.5 million
was drawn under the floor plan lines and management believes the Company
was in compliance with the terms and conditions of these loan agreements.

Merchandise inventories were $20.6 million and $34.5 million as of
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively. Accounts
receivable increased by approximately $2.6 million to $3.9 million at the
end of fiscal 1997 from a year earlier. The receivables amount represents
primarily contracts in transit generated from sales. Costs in excess of
net assets acquired increased to by approximately $4.3 million to $5.4
million in fiscal 1997 due to the acquisitions during fiscal 1997
discussed previously in the section Overview.

The Company had net capital expenditures of approximately $1.4 million
in fiscal 1996 and approximately $5.7 million in fiscal 1997. Capital
expenditures during fiscal 1996 included the acquisition of Clay's Boats
& Motors, the renovation of several facilities to the Company's
superstore standards and expenses related to the roll-out of the
Company's management information systems in certain store locations. In
fiscal 1997 the Company's capital expenditures included the acquisitions
of the store locations discussed previously in the section Overview. The
Company also acquired land and buildings for store locations in Beaumont,
Texas and Pascagoula, Mississippi and continued to renovate certain store
locations to superstore standards. The fiscal 1997 capital expenditures
were primarily financed under the Company's credit facilities and
additionally with certain individuals and corporations.

The Company's revolving credit facility, floor plan lines of credit
and internally generated working capital should be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements in the near future.

New Accounting Standards

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues
Statement No. 121, ''Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of '', which requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for
long-lived assets that are held for disposition. The Company adopted
Statement No. 121 effective October 1, 1995. No material impact to the
Company's results of operations or financial position resulted from such
adoption.

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123), requires
use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing
employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, which also requires that the information be
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
granted subsequent to June 30, 1995 under the fair value method
prescribed by Statement 123. The Company has evaluated the effects of
Statement 123 and determined that it does not have a material effect on
the Company's statement of operations or earnings per share.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (Statement 128), which is required
to be adopted for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. At that time the Company will be required to change
the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods. Under the new requirements, the presentation of

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Travis Boats & Motors, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Travis
Boats & Motors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and 1996
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the years then ended and the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Travis Boats & Motors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and
1996 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended and the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business and Consolidation

Travis Boats & Motors, Inc. (the "Company") based in Austin, Texas, is a
retailer of boats, motors, trailers and related watersport accessories.
The Company operates locations in the southern region of the United
States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In 1995,
the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30
to coincide with the seasonal cycle of its business.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue on sales of boats, motors, trailers, and
related watersport parts and accessories upon delivery to the customer
and transfer of title at the closing of the transaction.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
investments with maturities of ninety days or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories consist of boats, motors, trailers and related watersport
parts and accessories. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or
market. Cost for boats, motors and trailers is determined using the
specific identification method. Cost for parts and accessories is
determined using the first-in, first-out method.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Provisions for depreciation
are determined using double-declining balance and straight-line methods.
The Company uses estimated useful lives of 5 - 20 years for buildings and
improvements and 5 - 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. The
Company capitalized interest of approximately $80,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 in connection with the construction of a
store location. No interest was capitalized in the years ended September
30, 1997 and 1996.

Income Taxes

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred income taxes are provided for
temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and for income tax return purposes.

Intangible Assets

Amounts assigned to intangible assets are amortized over the respective
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:

Noncompete agreements 7 years
Goodwill 15 to 25 years

Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded at the lower of
unamortized cost or fair value. Management reviews the valuation and
amortization of intangible assets on a periodic basis, taking into
consideration any events or circumstances which might result in
diminished fair value. If this review indicates goodwill will not be
recoverable, as determined by the undiscounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, the carrying value of
the goodwill is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to concentrations of
credit risk, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments
with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations
of Credit Risk. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from
financial institutions upon sales contract funding and amounts due from
vendors under rebate programs. There was no allowance for doubtful
accounts recorded at September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Pre-opening Costs

Pre-opening costs related to new store locations are expensed as
incurred.

Significant Suppliers

The Company purchased substantially all of its new outboard motors in
1997, 1996 and 1995 from a single outboard motor manufacturer.

Approximately 34%, 23% and 20% of the Company's net purchases in fiscal
1997, 1996 and 1995 were from a single boat supplier, respectively.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were approximately
$829,000, $508,000 and $353,000 during the years ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, and the nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.

Notes Payable and Other Short-Term Obligations

Interest expense on notes payable and other short-term obligations is
recorded as incurred. No interest expense is recorded during portions of
the year on certain floor plan payables which include noninterest bearing
payment terms.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Net Income per Common Share

For the year ended September 30, 1997, both primary and fully diluted net
income per common share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents (if
dilutive) outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents
include stock options. The number of common stock equivalents is computed
using the treasury stock method.

For the year ended September 30, 1996 and the nine months ended September
30, 1995, net income per common share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of
common stock equivalents is not significant.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (Statement 128), which is required
to be adopted for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change
the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods. Under the new requirements, the presentation of
primary earnings per share is replaced with a presentation of basic
earnings per share, the calculation of which excludes the dilutive effect
of common stock equivalents. The adoption of Statement 128 is expected to
result in a basic net income per share of $0.96 for the year ended
September 30, 1997. Compared to primary net income per share as currently
presented, the adoption of Statement 128 results in an increase of $0.02
per share for 1997. The adoption of Statement 128 is expected to result
in a fully diluted net income per share of $0.94 for the year ended
September 30, 1997. Compared to fully diluted net income per share as
currently presented, the adoption of Statement 128 results in an increase
of $0.01 per share for 1997. There is no impact to primary or fully
diluted earnings per share for the year ended September 30, 1996 and the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Unearned Revenue

Amounts received from vendors in connection with agreed upon rebates or
discounts are deferred until the related product is sold and such rebate
or discount is earned.

6. Stockholders' Equity

In November 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 15 to
1 stock dividend for stockholders of record as of November 8, 1995.

In May 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1 for 3
stock dividend for stockholders of record as of May 3, 1996.

All share amounts presented in these financial statements have been
restated to retroactively reflect the above stock dividends.

Effective December 14, 1995, the Company changed the stated par value of
each share of common stock from $.10 to $.01. The financial statements
have been restated to retroactively reflect the above changes in par
value.

In March 1995, the Company granted options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock to certain officers of the Company which vest over
five years.

Effective December 14, 1995, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock
Option Plan which provides for the granting of options to directors,
officers, and key employees to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under such plan.

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under
FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(Statement 123), requires use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25,
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.

6. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, which also requires that the information be
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
granted subsequent to September 30, 1995 under the fair value method
prescribed by Statement 123. The Company has evaluated the effects of
Statement 123 and determined that it does not have a material effect on
the Company's statement of income or earnings per share.

Total option activity for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was as follows:

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company sells extended service contracts to its customers. For the
period from January 1, 1994 through June 27, 1996, the obligations of the
Company under these contracts were transferred to Ideal Insurance
Company, Ltd. ("Ideal") pursuant to an agreement between the Company and
Ideal dated as of January 1, 1994. Ideal reinsured these risks with
Amerisure Property & Casualty, Ltd. ("Amerisure"), a company wholly owned
by certain principal shareholders of the Company. These contracts are
administered by First Extended Service Corporation ("FESC"), which
contracts are insured by FESC's affiliate, FFG Insurance Co. ("FFG"). In
conjunction with these agreements, the Company paid Amerisure an agreed
amount for each extended service contract which is insured and, in the
event of claims under any extended service contracts, Amerisure
reimburses the repair facility for the amount of covered claims.
Amerisure is then financially responsible for any repairs required
pursuant to the extended service contract. The Company received a
commission for each extended service contract that it sold. For the years
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the nine months ended September 30,
1995, extended service contract commissions received from Amerisure
totaled approximately $-0-, $411,000 and $448,000, respectively. The
Company transferred the obligations under the extended service contracts
sold subsequent to June 27, 1996 to entities other than Ideal and
Amerisure.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is currently involved in several matters regarding pending or
threatened litigation in the normal course of business. Management does
not expect the ultimate resolution of these matters to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

9. Benefit Plan

In January 1995, the Company adopted a 401(k) retirement plan which is
available to all full-time employees. The Company may, in its discretion,
make matching contributions which the Company, in its discretion,
determines from year to year. The Company's expenses related to the plan
were not significant in the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995.

10. Subsequent Event

In November 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Southeastern Marine Group, Inc. located in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The
purchase price was $1,730,133, of which $1,606,133 was paid in cash and
$124,000 was financed by the issuance of notes payable to the seller.

currently conducted. Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do
business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction
in which the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by
it or the nature of the activities conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary, except any such jurisdiction where the

have a material adverse effect on Seller or on the validity, binding
effect or enforceability of this Agreement. Set forth on Schedule 4.1
is the name and identity of each Person who owns of record or
beneficially any common stock, capital stock, or other securities of
Seller, has any right to vote with the owners of Seller, or has the

forth the amounts of all such securities or rights and the percentage
that each Person's securities or rights bears to the whole.

authorized by all requisite action of Seller. This Agreement has been

obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with
its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be affected by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors' rights
generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable
remedies.

4.3 No Breach or Violation. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Seller will not: (a) violate any
provision of the charter or bylaws of Seller; (b) violate any Legal
Requirement; (c) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or
any filing with or notice to, any Person; or (d) (i) violate, conflict
with or constitute a breach of or default under, (ii) permit or result
in the termination, suspension or modification of, (iii) result in the
acceleration of (or give any Person the right to accelerate) the
performance of Seller under, or (iv) result in the creation or
imposition of any Encumbrance under, any Seller contract or agreement
or any other instrument evidencing any of the Purchased Assets or any
instrument or other agreement to which Seller is a party or by which
Seller or any of its assets is bound or affected, except, for purposes
of this clause (d), such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults,
terminations, suspensions, modifications, and accelerations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect
on the Business or Seller.

4.4 Assets. Seller has exclusive, good and marketable title
to the Purchased Assets claimed by Seller. The Purchased Assets are
free and clear of all Encumbrances of any kind or nature, except (a)
Permitted Encumbrances and (b) Encumbrances disclosed on Schedule 4.4,
which will be removed or otherwise released of record effective at or

safety codes.

Buyer all contracts and other contractual rights, oral and written,
relating to the Purchased Assets. Except as may be disclosed on
Schedule 3.1, each of the written agreements, contracts, commitments,
leases, plans and other instruments, documents and undertakings listed
on Schedule 3.1, including the Boat Show Rights, is valid and
enforceable in accordance with its terms; Seller is, and to the
knowledge of Seller and Owner, all other parties thereto are, in
compliance in all material respects with the provisions thereof;
Seller is not, and to the knowledge of Seller and Owner, no other
party thereto, is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any material obligation, covenant or condition
contained therein; and no event has occurred which with or without the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default
thereunder; furthermore, except as may be disclosed on Schedule 3.1,
no such material agreement, contract, commitment, lease, plan or other
instrument, document or undertaking, in the reasonable opinion of
Seller and Owner, contains any contractual requirement with which
there is a reasonable likelihood the Seller, the Buyer, or any other
party thereto will be unable to comply.

4.6 Compliance with Law. The ownership, leasing and use of
the Assets as they are currently owned, leased and used and the
conduct of the Business as it is currently conducted do not violate
any Legal Requirement, which violations, individually or in the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Business.
Seller has not received notice claiming a violation by Seller or the
Business of any Legal Requirement applicable to Seller or the Business
as it is currently conducted and to Seller's best knowledge, there is
no basis for any claim that such a violation exists.

there is no judgment or order outstanding, or any action, suit,
complaint, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental
Authority or any arbitrator pending, or to Seller's best knowledge,
threatened, involving or affecting all or any part of the Business,
the Purchased Assets or Seller.

advisory, brokerage, finder's or similar fee or commission in

and its authorized representatives access to, and make available for
inspection, all of the Purchased Assets and Business of Seller related
to these assets, including employees, customers and suppliers, and
permit Buyer and its authorized representatives to inspect and make

Business related to the purchased assets or the Assets as Buyer or its
representatives may request. Seller and Owner will promptly notify
Buyer in writing of (a) any notice or communication relating to a
default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, could
become a default, under any contract, commitment or obligation to
which Seller is a party, or relating to the Business or the Purchased
Assets, and (b) any adverse change in the Seller's or the Business'
financial condition or the condition of the Purchased Assets.
Notwithstanding any of the above, "Business" means any business
associates with the assets to be purchased.

20. Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Seller in
this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, or any
statement, list or certificate furnished or to be furnished by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue
statement of material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

deficiencies or obligations of or to Buyer resulting from or
arising out of (i) any breach of any then surviving
representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, (ii)
any breach of any then surviving covenant, agreement or
obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement, (iii) any third
party claim with respect to any occurrence prior to or on the
Effective Date, without regard to whether such third party claim
with respect to such occurrence is asserted before or after the
Effective Date, including any matter described on Schedule 4.8,
(iv) any liability or obligation of Seller not included in the
Assumed Liabilities, including contingent liability for products
sold prior to the Effective Date, (v) any claim that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement violate any bulk
transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws of any jurisdiction, and
(vi) any liability or obligation of Seller arising after the
Effective Date; and

8.2.2 all claims, actions, suits,
proceedings, demands, judgments, assessments, fines, interest,
penalties, costs and expenses (including settlement costs and
reasonable legal, accounting, experts' and other fees, costs and
expenses) incident or relating to or resulting from any of the
foregoing.

In the event that an indemnified item arises under both clause
8.2.1(i) and under one or more of clauses 8.2.1(ii) through 8.2.1(vi)
of this Section 8.2, Buyer's rights to pursue its claim under clauses
8.2.1(ii) through 8.2.1(vi), as applicable, will exist notwithstanding
the expiration of the Survival Period applicable to such claim under
clause 8.2.1(i).

8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Seller and Seller's officers, employees, agents,
successors and assigns, from and against:

deficiencies or obligations of or to Seller or any such other
indemnified Person resulting from or arising out of (i) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this

obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (iii) the
failure by Buyer to perform any of its obligations in respect of
the Assumed Liabilities; and

8.3.2 all claims, actions, suits,
proceedings, demands, judgments, assessments, fines, interest,
penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
settlement costs and reasonable legal, accounting, experts' and
other fees, costs and expenses) incident or relating to or
resulting from any of the foregoing.

In the event that an indemnified item arises under both clause
8.3.1(i) and under one or more of clauses 8.3.1(ii) or 8.3.1(iii) of
this Section 8.3, Seller's rights to pursue its claim under clauses
8.3.1(ii) or 8.3.1(iii), as applicable, will exist notwithstanding the
expiration of the Survival Period applicable to such claim under
clause 8.3.1(i).

8.4 Third Party Claims. Promptly (and in any event within
30 days) after the receipt by any party of notice of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this
Agreement (collectively, an "Action"), which Action is subject to
indemnification under this Agreement, such party (the "Indemnified
Party") will give reasonable written notice to the party from whom
indemnification is claimed (the "Indemnifying Party"). The
Indemnified Party will be entitled, at the sole expense and liability
of the Indemnifying Party, to exercise full control of the defense,
compromise or settlement of any such Action unless the Indemnifying
Party, within a reasonable time (and in any event within 15 days)
after the giving of such notice by the Indemnified Party, (a) admits
in writing to the Indemnified Party the Indemnifying Party's liability
to the Indemnified Party for such Action under the terms of this
Section 8, (b) notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the
Indemnifying Party's intention to assume such defense, and (c) retains
legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to
conduct the defense of such Action. The other party will cooperate
with the party assuming the defense, compromise or settlement of any
such Action in accordance with this Agreement in any reasonable manner
that such party reasonably may request. If the Indemnifying Party so
assumes the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party will
have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but
not control) the defense, compromise or settlement of the Action, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the
Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay
such fees and expenses, (ii) any relief other than the payment of
money damages is sought against the Indemnified Party or (iii) the
Indemnified Party will have been advised by its counsel that there may
be one or more defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and in any
such case that portion of the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel that are reasonably related to matters covered by the
indemnity provided in this Section 8 will be paid by the Indemnifying
Party. No Indemnified Party will settle or compromise any such Action
for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
without prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the
Indemnifying Party has failed, after reasonable notice, to undertake
control of such Action in the manner provided in this Section 8.4. No
Indemnifying Party will settle or compromise any such Action (A) in
which any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought
against any Indemnified Party or (B) in the case of any Action
relating to the Indemnified Party's liability for any tax, if the
effect of such settlement would be an increase in the liability of the
Indemnified Party for the payment of any tax for any period beginning
after the Effective Date, unless the Indemnified Party consents in
writing to such compromise or settlement.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This Non-Competition Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
August 1, 1997, is among TRAVIS BOATS & MOTORS, INC., a Texas
corporation ("Travis"), TRAVIS BOATING CENTER MISSISSIPPI, INC., a
Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Travis
("Buyer"), both having an office for the purpose of notice at 13045
Research Blvd., Austin, Texas 78750, and Gail and J.W. McLeod,
individuals residing at 2406 Pintail Lane,
Moss Point, Mississippi (together, "Owners").

WHEREAS, Buyer has agreed to acquire the Business of McLeod
Marine, Inc., a Mississippi corporation ("Seller"), pursuant to
that certain asset purchase agreement dated May 30, 1997 (the
"Purchase Agreement") among Buyer, Seller and Owners (the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase
Agreement unless otherwise defined herein); and

WHEREAS, Owners own 100% of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Seller; and

WHEREAS, Owners have established a valuable, far-reaching
personal reputation in the boat, boat accessory and water sports sales
business; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that the reasonable market area
of a business such as the Business is approximately a 150-mile radius;
and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the closing of the
purchase under the Purchase Agreement that Owners shall have entered
into this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the
mutual covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter expressed, Travis,
Buyer and Owners agree as follows:

Section 1.

1.1 Non-Competition. Neither Owner will, for any reason:

1.1.1 Object to or oppose efforts by Travis or
any Affiliate of Travis to obtain a dealer agreement or
agreements allowing the retail sale of ProLine, Donzi, Sprint or
Polar brand boats and related accessories (the "Dealer
Agreements"), or obtain such Dealer Agreements himself or
herself, anywhere within 150 miles of the location of Seller's
store in Pascagoula, Mississippi; or

1.1.2 Compete with Buyer, Travis, or any other
Affiliate of Travis in the retail sale of new ProLine, Donzi,
Sprint or Polar brand boats anywhere within 150 miles of the
location of Seller's store in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

1.2 Owners agree that Travis and Buyer will not be able to
recognize the value of the Purchased Assets unless Buyer is able to
engage in the successful operation of the Business, that the non-
competition provisions set forth in Section 1.1 are ancillary to the
Purchase Agreement, that the Purchase Agreement is an otherwise
enforceable agreement, and that the non-competition provisions in this
Agreement are therefore ancillary to an otherwise enforceable
agreement. Owners further agree that the non-competition provisions
set forth above are supported by independent valuable consideration
and contain reasonable limitations as to the time, geographical area,
and scope of activity for which they are to be restrained; and that
the limitations of the non-competition provisions do not impose a
greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other
business interests of Travis and Buyer. It is agreed by the parties
that the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 impose, on the date of
the execution of this Agreement, a reasonable restraint on Seller in
light of the activities and businesses of Travis and Buyer and their
future plans.

1.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, Owners will be deemed to
have obtained Dealer Agreements if they have an interest in any such
Dealer Agreements directly or indirectly, whether for their own
account or for that of any other person, firm or corporation, and
whether as a stockholder (except solely as a stockholder in a publicly
held corporation with more than 500 holders of common stock and as to
which he owns, in the aggregate, less than 5% of any class of stock),
director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, joint venturer,
principal, agent, proprietor, consultant, manager, independent
contractor, sales representative, landlord, lessor, lender, guarantor,
or in any other capacity.

Section 2.

2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date
hereof and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of such date.

2.2 Remedies. Owner acknowledges that a breach of any of the
provisions of Section 1 will cause irreparable harm to Travis and
Buyer, for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and for which
the ascertainment of damages would be difficult. Therefore, Travis
and Buyer will be entitled to specific performance of Section 1
hereof, in addition to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of,
other remedies at law, as well as injunctive relief (without being
required to post bond or other security), and, if such legal action
becomes necessary, Travis and Buyer will be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and costs of court incurred in connection
with such action. Nothing contained herein will be construed as
prohibiting Travis and Buyer from pursuing any other remedies
available to it for such breach, including the recovery of money
damages.

2.3 Notices. Notices and demands provided for under this
Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to be fully given and
received if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the
respective party at the address listed at the beginning of this
Agreement.

2.4 Assignment. Buyer or Travis may assign its rights or
obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer or Travis or any
successor to the business of Buyer or Travis by merger, consolidation,
sale of assets, or otherwise.

2.5 Reformation; Severability. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be legal,
valid and enforceable under applicable law, but in the event any
provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, unenforceable or
invalid under applicable law, the parties agree that such provision
will automatically be deemed modified for purposes of performance of
this Agreement to the extent necessary to render it lawful, valid and
enforceable, or if such modification is not possible without
materially altering the intent of the parties, that such provision
will automatically be deemed severed from this Agreement to the extent
of such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity. The validity of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be altered by any
such modification or severance.

2.6 Amendment of Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2.5,
this Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
by a writing signed by all parties.

2.7 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF TEXAS. Each of the
undersigned irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding
brought against said Person with respect to this Agreement will be
brought in the appropriate court in Travis County, Texas and hereby
waives any right to be sued in any other place.

2.8 Construction. This Agreement constitutes the entire
Agreement between the parties and will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and
assigns. No terms or understandings not herein contained will apply
unless in writing and signed by all parties subsequent to execution of
this Agreement. This Agreement is intended to benefit only the
parties hereto and no third party will have any right to enforce this
Agreement or receive any benefits hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Travis, Buyer and Owner have executed this
Agreement, in the manner appropriate to each, as of the day and year
first above written.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that the reasonable market area
of a business such as the Business is approximately a 150-mile radius;
and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the closing of the

into this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the
mutual covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter expressed, Travis,
Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

Section 1.

1.1 Non-Competition. Seller will not, for any reason:

1.1.1 Object to or oppose efforts by Travis or
any Affiliate of Travis to obtain a dealer agreement or
agreements allowing the retail sale of ProLine, Donzi, Sprint or
Polar brand boats and related accessories (the "Dealer
Agreements"), or obtain such Dealer Agreements itself anywhere

location of Seller's store in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

1.2 Seller agrees that Travis and Buyer will not be able to
recognize the value of the Purchased Assets unless Buyer is able to
engage in the successful operation of the Business, that the non-
competition provisions set forth in Section 1.1 are ancillary to the
Purchase Agreement, that the Purchase Agreement is an otherwise
enforceable agreement, and that the non-competition provisions in this
Agreement are therefore ancillary to an otherwise enforceable
agreement. Seller further agrees that the non-competition provisions
set forth above are supported by independent valuable consideration
and contain reasonable limitations as to the time, geographical area,
and scope of activity for which he is to be restrained; and that the
limitations of the non-competition provisions do not impose a greater

interests of Travis and Buyer. It is agreed by the parties that the
restrictions contained in Section 1.1 impose, on the date of the
execution of this Agreement, a reasonable restraint on Seller in light
of the activities and businesses of Travis and Buyer and their future
plans.

1.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, Seller will be deemed to
have obtained Dealer Agreements if it has an interest in any such
Dealer Agreements, directly or indirectly, whether for its own account
or for that of any other person, firm or corporation, and whether as a
stockholder (except solely as a stockholder in a publicly held
corporation with more than 500 holders of common stock and as to which
he owns, in the aggregate, less than 5% of any class of stock),
director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, joint venturer,
principal, agent, proprietor, consultant, manager, independent
contractor, sales representative, landlord, lessor, lender, guarantor,
or in any other capacity.

Section 2.

2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date
hereof and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of such date.

2.2 Remedies. Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the
provisions of Section 1 will cause irreparable harm to Travis and
Buyer, for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and for which
the ascertainment of damages would be difficult. Therefore, Travis and
Buyer will be entitled to specific performance of Section 1 hereof, in
addition to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other
remedies at law, as well as injunctive relief (without being required
to post bond or other security), and, if such legal action becomes
necessary, Travis and Buyer will be entitled to recover reasonable
attorney's fees and costs of court incurred in connection with such
action. Nothing contained herein will be construed as prohibiting
Travis and Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for
such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

2.3 Notices Notices and demands provided for under this
Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to be fully given and
received if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the
respective party at the address listed at the beginning of this
Agreement.

2.4 Assignment. Buyer or Travis may assign its rights or
obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer or Travis or any
successor to the business of Buyer or Travis, by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise.

2.5 Reformation; Severability. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be legal,
valid and enforceable under applicable law, but in the event any
provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, unenforceable or
invalid under applicable law, the parties agree that such provision
will automatically be deemed modified for purposes of performance of
this Agreement to the extent necessary to render it lawful, valid and
enforceable, or if such modification is not possible without
materially altering the intent of the parties, that such provision
will automatically be deemed severed from this Agreement to the extent
of such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity. The validity of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be altered by any
such modification or severance.

H. Remedies

1. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer.

a) In the event any of the Sellers breaches (or in the
event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean any
of the Sellers has breached) any of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein (other than those of
the Sellers described in paragraph 8.1(b) and (c)), then each of
the Sellers agrees jointly and severally to indemnify the Buyer
from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Buyer may suffer, for a period of one year following the Closing
Date, through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
(including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer after
the end of such one year period) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the
alleged breach); provided, however, that (a) the Sellers shall
have no obligations to indemnify the Buyer for any Adverse
Consequences pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) for an amount in
excess of (i) the Buyer Notes and (ii) the Other Buyer Notes,
issued in connection with the sale of Adventure North and
Adventure South and (b) the Buyer's exclusive remedy for any
claims brought pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) shall be the right
to Set-Off described in Section 8.5 hereof.

b) Each of Sellers shall be obligated to fully and
completely indemnify the Buyer, for an unlimited period of time
following the Closing (subject to applicable statutes of
limitation), from and against the entirety of any Adverse
Consequences the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of
or relating to any Liability suffered as a result of (i) fraud by
the Sellers or the Company (including without limitation any
Adverse Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of a breach of
the Seller's representations in paragraph 3.1 (Representations
and Warranties) hereof), (ii) a misrepresentation which the
Sellers or the Company knew or reasonably should have known or
been aware (including without limitation any Adverse Consequences
suffered by Buyer as a result of employee misstatements to
customers or others), (iii) claims by employees against the
Company (including without limitation any Adverse Consequences
suffered by Buyer as a result of the representations made by the
Sellers and the Company in paragraph 4.24 (Employee Benefits)
hereof), (iv) Taxes (including without limitation any Adverse
Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of the representations
made by the Sellers and the Company in paragraph 4.11 (Tax
Matters) hereof, and (v) claims by any of the current or former
shareholders of the Company, Adventure North or Adventure South
against the Company, Adventure North, Adventure South or the
Buyer and its affiliates.

c) Each of the Sellers shall be obligated to fully and
completely indemnify the Buyer for an unlimited period of time
following Closing (subject to applicable statutes of limitation)
from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in
the nature of, or caused by any Liability of any of the Company
(i) for any Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax year or
portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any
Tax year beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to
the extent allocable (determined in a manner consistent with
paragraph 9.2 below) to the portion of such period beginning
before and ending on the Closing Date), to the extent such Taxes
are not reflected in the Tax Reserve or have not been paid to the
Buyer pursuant to paragraph 9.1 below, and (ii) for the unpaid
Taxes of any Person (other than any of the Company) under Treas.
Reg. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or
foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or
otherwise suffer.

2. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Sellers.
The representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer shall survive
the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of one
year. In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party
alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of
its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, provided
that any of the Sellers makes a written claim for indemnification against
the Buyer within such one year period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify
each of the Sellers from and against any Adverse Consequences the Seller
may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
(including any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end
of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged
breach). Furthermore, the Buyer agrees to fully and completely indemnify
the Sellers for any Adverse Consequences suffered by the Sellers as a
result of any action or omission by the Company following the Closing
Date; provided, however, that (i) in the case of Adverse Consequences
involving a series of actions or omissions by the Company, the Buyer
shall not indemnify Sellers for any liability created by the Company
prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) this provision shall not apply to
Frederic Pace for any Adverse Consequences suffered by Pace arising out
of or in connection with Pace's employment with the Company or the Buyer
subsequent to the Closing Date.

3. Matters Involving Third Parties.

a) If any third party shall notify any party (the
"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party
Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this
part 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each
Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that
no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the
Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend
the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel
of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so
long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party
in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given
notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will
indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of
any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or
caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party
will have the financial resources to defend against the Third
Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations
hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money
damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable
relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect
to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of
the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom
or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying
Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and
diligently.

c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the
defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraph
8.3(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-
counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the
defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will
not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably
withheld).

d) In the event any of the conditions in paragraph 8.3(b)
above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified
Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third
Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and
the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any
consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith),
(ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified
Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending
against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties will
remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified
Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in
the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest
extent provided in this part 8.

4. Determination of Adverse Consequences. The parties
shall take into account the time cost of money (using the Applicable Rate
as the discount rate) in determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of
this part 8. All indemnification payments under this part 8 shall be
deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

5. Set-off Under Buyer Notes. The Buyer shall have the
option of recouping all or any part of any Adverse Consequences it may
suffer (in lieu of seeking any indemnification to which it is entitled
under this part 8); such right shall be exercisable by Buyer by notifying
the Sellers that the Buyer is reducing the principal amount outstanding
under the Buyer Notes. This shall affect the timing and amount of
payments required under the Buyer Notes in the same manner as if the
Buyer had made a permitted prepayment (without premium or penalty)
thereunder. The Buyer shall offset against each Buyer Note based on each
Seller's percentage ownership of the Company, based upon the information
contained in paragraph 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule. If the Buyer
discovers an Adverse Consequence prior to the maturity of the Buyer Note
(the "Maturity Date,), but is unable, in good faith, to determine with
specificity the amount of the Adverse Consequence and, therefore, does
not exercise its right of Set-Off prior to the Maturity Date, the
Maturity Date shall be deemed to be extended until the Buyer can
determine the amount of the Adverse Consequence and exercise its right of
Set-Off. The extension of the Maturity Date hereunder shall not be
considered an event of default under the Buyer Note and no late payment
shall be payable as a result of the extension of the Maturity Date.
Following any set-off by Buyer against the Buyer Note which in the
aggregate is equal to the full amount thereof, Buyer shall be permitted
to set-off unsatisfied Adverse Consequences arising under this Agreement
against the Other Buyer Notes, issued in connection with the sale of
Adventure North and Adventure South.

6. Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing
indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of,
any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any party may have for
breach of representation, warranty, or covenant. Each of the Sellers
hereby agrees that he or it will not make any claim for indemnification
against the Company by reason of the fact that he or it was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the
request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer,
employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for
judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement,
losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any
statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect
to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by
the Buyer against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding,
complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable
law, or otherwise).

I. Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain Tax
matters following the Closing Date:

1. Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date.
Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed
all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit
the Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in
the preceding sentence prior to filing. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer
for Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15)
days after payment by Buyer of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are
not reflected in the Tax Reserve. Buyer shall be permitted to Set-Off
against the Buyer Note to pay any such Taxes.

2. Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the
Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or
cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which
begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Sellers
shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes
are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of
such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on
the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Tax
Reserve. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are
imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that
includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax
which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing
Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or
related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for
the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date
and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable
period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income
or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the
relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating
to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date
shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended
on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the
foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior
practice of the Company.

3. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Buyer, the Company and Sellers shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other
party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to
this Part 9 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention
and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and
information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on
a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and
Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to
Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable
period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of
the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer
or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable
periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered
into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party
reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or
discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so
requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow
the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to
use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other
document from any governmental authority or any other Person as
may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon
request, to provide the other party with all information that
either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043
of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated
thereunder.

4. Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or
similar agreements, if any, with respect to or involving the Company
shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date,
the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

5. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use,
stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall
be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file
all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all
such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other
Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will
cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns
and other documentation.

J. Termination.

1. Termination of Agreement. Certain of the parties may
terminate this Agreement as provided below:

Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the

the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a
period of 5 days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 1997,
by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under
paragraph 7.1 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from
the Buyer itself breaching any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained in this Agreement); and

written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (i)
in the event the Buyer has breached any material representation,

respect, any of the Sellers has notified the Buyer of the breach,
and the breach has continued without cure for a period of 5 days
after the notice of breach or (ii) if the Closing shall not have
occurred on or before September 30, 1997, by reason of the
failure of any condition precedent under paragraph 7.2 hereof
(unless the failure results primarily from any of the Sellers

contained in this Agreement).

2. Effect of Termination. If any party terminates this
Agreement pursuant to paragraph 10.1 above, all rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability of any party
to any other party (except for any Liability of any party then in
breach).

K. Miscellaneous.

1. Nature of Certain Obligations.

(i) The covenants of each of the Sellers in paragraph
2.1 above concerning the sale of his or its Company Shares to the
Buyer and the representations and warranties of each of the
Sellers in paragraph 3.1(a) through (d) above concerning the
transaction are several obligations. This means that the
particular Seller making the representation, warranty, or
covenant will be solely responsible to the extent provided in
part 8 above for any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer as
a result of any breach thereof.

(ii) The remainder of the representations, warranties,
and covenants in this Agreement, including paragraph 3.1(c), are

the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval
of the Buyer and the Sellers; provided, however, that any party may make

law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded
securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable
efforts to advise the other Parties prior to making the disclosure).

confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.

handwritten provisions inserted in this Agreement shall control all
printed provisions in conflict therewith, provided the typewritten or
handwritten provision is initialed and dated by each of the parties to
this Agreement.

5. Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and

the Sellers; provided, however, that the Buyer may (i) assign any or all
of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates
and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its
obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases the Buyer nonetheless
shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations
hereunder).

6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

10. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision
of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Buyer and the Sellers. No waiver by any Party of any
default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder,
whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant
hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior

11. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement

shall mean including without limitation. The parties intend that each

specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or
mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first
representation, warranty, or covenant.

and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof.

15. Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges

event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached.
Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the
provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement
and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court
of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the
parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in paragraph

waive compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 6.4. If, in the
absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the
Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any
Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for
contempt, that Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the
tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Seller shall use his or
its best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of the Buyer, an
order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to
such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as
the Buyer shall designate.

5. Buyer Note. The Buyer Note will bear a legend
substantially in the following form:

THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT
TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF SET-OFF AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (THE "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT") AMONG THE ISSUER OF THIS NOTE AND THE ORIGINAL
HOLDER HEREOF. THIS NOTE WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 30,
1997, AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. THE
ISSUER OF THIS NOTE WILL FURNISH A COPY OF THESE PROVISIONS TO
THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

Each holder desiring to transfer a Buyer Note first must furnish the
Buyer with (i) a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Buyer in
form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer to the effect that the
holder may transfer the Buyer Note as desired without registration under
the Securities Act, and (ii) a written undertaking executed by the
proposed transferee satisfactory to the Buyer in form and substance
satisfactory to Buyer agreeing to be bound by the Set-Off provisions and
the restrictions on transfer contained herein.

6. Registration of Travis Parent Stock. Travis Parent shall
file a registration statement at its expense, on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement,) within fifteen (15) business days after the
Closing Date and shall use its reasonable efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). The Seller agrees to cooperate and provide all
required information for inclusion in the Registration Statement. The
Buyer agrees that if the SEC does not, on or before March 31, 1998,
declare the Registration Statement effective, and the failure to do so is
a result of a circumstance or condition associated with the Buyer, which
causes the SEC under current or then existing rules and regulations to
postpone or prohibit the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
then the Buyer shall, upon receipt of the Travis Parent Stock from
Seller, pay to the Seller an amount of cash equal to cash value of the
Travis Parent Stock as of the Closing Date. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Buyer shall be under no obligation to
pay cash to the Seller if the SEC does not declare the Registration
Statement effective due to issues arising out of or in connection with
the acquisition of the Company, the Company or Adventure Brokerage.

7. Pre-Closing Sales. The Seller agrees to fully indemnify
and promptly reimburse the Buyer for any Liability incurred or expenses
incurred by the Buyer arising out of or in connection with the Pre-
Closing Sales. The Seller agrees to cooperate fully with Buyer in
connection with the defense of any such Liability and agree to provide
Buyer access to all books and records related to the Pre-Closing Sales.
This provision shall be in addition to the Buyers remedies set forth in
part 8 and 9 hereof.

8. Use of Name. The Seller shall, and the Seller shall cause
its Affiliates, to cease using the name "Adventure Marine" or any
derivation thereof within six months of the Closing Date.

9. Accounts Receivable. (a) The Buyer shall, in the manner
provided in paragraph 6.9(b), promptly reimburse the Seller for any sums
collected for Accounts Receivable in excess of 50% of the aggregate face
amount of the Current Accounts Receivable. In the event the Buyer is
unable to collect 50% of the face amount of the Current Accounts
Receivable within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Buyer may, among
other remedies, exercise its right to Set-Off under the Buyer Note and
the Other Buyer Notes and/or seek indemnification pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.

(b) On the tenth day of each month following the Closing
Date, the Buyer shall deliver to The Seller an accounting which details
the amount of Accounts Receivable collected by the Buyer in the previous
month. If the Buyer has collected in excess of 50% of the Current
Accounts Receivable, the Buyer shall, at that time, reimburse Seller for
all amounts not previously paid to Seller which Buyer has collected with
respect to the Accounts Receivable in excess of 50% of the Current
Accounts Receivable. The Buyer agrees to use diligent efforts to collect
the Accounts Receivable. If, at any time after six months following the
Closing Date, the Buyer has collected an amount in excess of 50% of all
Current Accounts Receivable and the Buyer is unable to collect any of the
Accounts Receivable, the Buyer shall, at the Seller's request, assign
such uncollected Accounts Receivable to the Seller.

H. Remedies

1. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer.

a) In the event the Seller breaches (or in the event any
third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Seller has
breached) any of the representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein (other than those of the Seller described in
paragraph 8.1(b) and (c)), then the Seller agrees to indemnify the
Buyer from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Buyer may suffer, for a period of one year following the Closing
Date, through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
(including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer after the
end of such one year period) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the
alleged breach); provided, however, that (a) the Sellers shall have
no obligations to indemnify the Buyer for any Adverse Consequences
pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) for an amount in excess of (i) the
Buyer Note and (ii) the Other Buyer Notes, issued in connection with
the sale of The Company and Adventure Brokerage and (b) the Buyer's
exclusive remedy for any claims brought pursuant to this Section
8.1(a) shall be the right to Set-Off described in Section 8.5
hereof.

b) The Seller shall be obligated to fully and completely
indemnify the Buyer, for an unlimited period of time following the
Closing (subject to applicable statutes of limitation), from and
against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may
suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to any Liability
suffered as a result of (i) fraud by the Seller or the Company
(including without limitation any Adverse Consequences suffered by
Buyer as a result of a breach of the Seller's representations in
paragraph 3.1 (Representations and Warranties) hereof), (ii) a
misrepresentation which the Seller or the Company knew or reasonably
should have known or been aware (including without limitation any
Adverse Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of employee

against the Company (including without limitation any Adverse
Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of the representations
made by the Seller and the Company in paragraph 4.24 (Employee
Benefits) hereof), (iv) Taxes (including without limitation any
Adverse Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of the
representations made by the Seller and the Company in paragraph 4.11
(Tax Matters) hereof, and (v) claims by any of the current or former

against the Company, The Company, Adventure Brokerage or the Buyer
and its affiliates.

c) The Seller shall be obligated to fully and completely
indemnify the Buyer for an unlimited period of time following
Closing (subject to applicable statutes of limitation) from and
against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may
suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature
of, or caused by any Liability of any of the Company (i) for any
Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax year or portion thereof
ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax year beginning
before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable
(determined in a manner consistent with paragraph 9.2 below) to the
portion of such period beginning before and ending on the Closing
Date), to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Tax Reserve
or have not been paid to the Buyer pursuant to paragraph 9.1 below,
and (ii) for the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than any of the
Company) under Treas. Reg. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of
state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by
contract, or otherwise suffer.

2. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Seller. The
representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer shall survive the
Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of one year.
In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party alleges
facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of its
representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, provided
that the Seller makes a written claim for indemnification against the
Buyer within such one year period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify the
Seller from and against any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer
through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including
any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end of any
applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to,
in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).
Furthermore, the Buyer agrees to fully and completely indemnify the
Seller for any Adverse Consequences suffered by the Seller as a result of
any action or omission by the Company following the Closing Date;
provided, however, that (i) in the case of Adverse Consequences involving
a series of actions or omissions by the Company, the Buyer shall not
indemnify Seller for any liability created by the Company prior to the
Closing Date, and (ii) this provision shall not apply to Frederic Pace
for any Adverse Consequences suffered by Frederic Pace arising out of or
in connection with Frederic Pace's employment with the Company or the
Buyer subsequent to the Closing Date.

3. Matters Involving Third Parties.

a) If any third party shall notify any party (the
"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party
Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against
any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this part 8, then
the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party
thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of
the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless
(and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is
prejudiced.

b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the
Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its
choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as
(i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the
Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the
Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse
Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the
Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the
Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the
financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and
fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third
Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an
injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an
adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in
the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to
establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to
the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v)
the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim
actively and diligently.

c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the
defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraph 8.3(b)
above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at
its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the
Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect
to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) the
Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to
be unreasonably withheld).

d) In the event any of the conditions in paragraph 8.3(b)
above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified Party
may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in
any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified
Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying
Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and
periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party
Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (iii)
the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse
Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from,
arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the
Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this part 8.

4. Determination of Adverse Consequences. The parties shall
take into account the time cost of money (using the Applicable Rate as
the discount rate) in determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of
this part 8. All indemnification payments under this part 8 shall be
deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

5. Set-off Under Buyer Notes. The Buyer shall have the
option of recouping all or any part of any Adverse Consequences it may
suffer (in lieu of seeking any indemnification to which it is entitled
under this part 8); such right shall be exercisable by Buyer by notifying
the Seller that the Buyer is reducing the principal amount outstanding
under the Buyer Note. This shall affect the timing and amount of payments
required under the Buyer Note in the same manner as if the Buyer had made
a permitted prepayment (without premium or penalty) thereunder. The
Buyer shall offset against each Buyer Note based on each Seller's
percentage ownership of the Company, based upon the information contained
in paragraph 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule. If the Buyer discovers an
Adverse Consequence prior to the maturity of the Buyer Note (the
"Maturity Date,), but is unable, in good faith, to determine with
specificity the amount of the Adverse Consequence and, therefore, does
not exercise its right of Set-Off prior to the Maturity Date, the
Maturity Date shall be deemed to be extended until the Buyer can
determine the amount of the Adverse Consequence and exercise its right of
Set-Off. The extension of the Maturity Date hereunder shall not be
considered an event of default under the Buyer Note and no late payment
shall be payable as a result of the extension of the Maturity Date.
Following any set-off by Buyer against the Buyer Note which in the
aggregate is equal to the full amount thereof, Buyer shall be permitted
to set-off unsatisfied Adverse Consequences arising under this Agreement
against the Other Buyer Notes, issued in connection with the sale of The
Company and Adventure Brokerage.

6. Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing
indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of,
any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any party may have for
breach of representation, warranty, or covenant. The Seller hereby agrees
that he will not make any claim for indemnification against the Company
by reason of the fact that he or it was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity
as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another
entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines,
costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and
whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw,
agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding,
complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Buyer against such Seller
(whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is
pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).

I. Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain Tax
matters following the Closing Date:

1. Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Buyer
shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all
Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit
the Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the
preceding sentence prior to filing. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for
Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15)
days after payment by Buyer of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are
not reflected in the Tax Reserve. Buyer shall be permitted to Set-Off
against the Buyer Note to pay any such Taxes.

2. Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing
Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to
be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin
before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Seller shall pay
to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid
with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes
which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing
Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Tax Reserve. For
purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a
periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but
does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates
to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall
(i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to
income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire
Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period,
and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or
receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the
relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating
to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date
shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended
on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the
foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior
practice of the Company.

3. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Buyer, the Company and Seller shall cooperate fully,
as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in
connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Part 9
and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.
Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other
party's request) the provision of records and information which are
reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other
proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder. The Company and Seller agree (A) to
retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent
to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the
Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations
(and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all
record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority,
and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records
and, if the other party so requests, the Company or Seller, as the
case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such
books and records.

(ii) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use
their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from
any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary
to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed
(including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby).

(iii) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to
provide the other party with all information that either party may
be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all
Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

4. Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or
similar agreements, if any, with respect to or involving the Company
shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date,
the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

5. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use,
stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall
be paid by Seller when due, and Seller will, at their own expense, file
all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all
such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other
Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will
cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns
and other documentation.

respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner
any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.
None of the Sellers will vote their Shares in favor of any such
acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange.
The Sellers will notify the Buyer immediately if any Person makes any
proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any of the
foregoing.

F. Post-Closing Covenants. The Parties agree as follows with
respect to the period following the Closing.

1. General. In case at any time after the Closing any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action
(including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and
documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole
cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is
entitled to indemnification therefor under part 8 below). The Sellers
acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the Buyer will be
entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including Tax
records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the
Company. The Buyers agree to take reasonable steps to safekeep such
records.

2. Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any
Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit,
proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand
in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement
or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity,
practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or
transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each
of the other Parties will cooperate with him or it and his or its
counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and
provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be
necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost
and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting
or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under
paragraph 8 below).

3. Transition. None of the Sellers will take any action that
is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor,
licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of the Company
from maintaining the same business relationships with the Company after
the Closing as it maintained with the Company prior to the Closing. Each
of the Sellers will refer all customer inquiries relating to the
businesses of the Company to the Buyer from and after the Closing.

4. Confidentiality. Each of the Sellers will treat and hold
as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of
the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement,
and deliver promptly to the Buyer or destroy, at the request and option
of the Buyer, all tangible expressions (and all copies) of the
Confidential Information which are in his or its possession. In the event
that any of the Sellers is requested or required (by oral question or
request for information or documents in any legal proceeding,
interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process)
to disclose any Confidential Information, that Seller will notify the
Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek
an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions
of this paragraph 6.4. If, in the absence of a protective order or the
receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Sellers is, on the advice of
counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any
tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that Seller may disclose the
Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the
disclosing Seller shall use his or its best efforts to obtain, at the
reasonable request of the Buyer, an order or other assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the
Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall
designate.

5. Buyer Notes. Each of the Buyer Notes will bear a legend
substantially in the following form:

THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT
TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF SET-OFF AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (THE "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT") AMONG THE ISSUER OF THIS NOTE AND THE ORIGINAL
HOLDER HEREOF. THIS NOTE WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 30,
1997, AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. THE
ISSUER OF THIS NOTE WILL FURNISH A COPY OF THESE PROVISIONS TO
THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

Each holder desiring to transfer a Buyer Note first must furnish the
Buyer with (i) a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Buyer in
form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer to the effect that the
holder may transfer the Buyer Note as desired without registration under
the Securities Act, and (ii) a written undertaking executed by the
proposed transferee satisfactory to the Buyer in form and substance
satisfactory to Buyer agreeing to be bound by the Set-Off provisions and
the restrictions on transfer contained herein.

6. Registration of Travis Parent Stock. Travis Parent shall
file a registration statement at its expense, on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement,) within fifteen (15) business days after the
Closing Date and shall use its reasonable efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). The Sellers agree to cooperate and provide all
required information for inclusion in the Registration Statement. The
Buyer agrees that if the SEC does not, on or before March 31, 1998,
declare the Registration Statement effective, and the failure to do so is
a result of a circumstance or condition associated with the Buyer, which
causes the SEC under current or then existing rules and regulations to
postpone or prohibit the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
then the Buyer shall, upon receipt of the Travis Parent Stock from
Sellers, pay to the Sellers an amount of cash equal to cash value of the
Travis Parent Stock as of the Closing Date. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Buyer shall be under no obligation to
pay cash to the Sellers if the SEC does not declare the Registration
Statement effective due to issues arising out of or in connection with
the acquisition of the Company, Adventure North or Adventure Brokerage.

7. Pre-Closing Sales. The Sellers agree to fully indemnify
and promptly reimburse the Buyer for any Liability incurred or expenses
incurred by the Buyer arising out of or in connection with the Pre-
Closing Sales. The Sellers agree to cooperate fully with Buyer in
connection with the defense of any such Liability and agree to provide
Buyer access to all books and records related to the Pre-Closing Sales.
This provision shall be in addition to the Buyers remedies set forth in
part 8 and 9 hereof.

8. Use of Name. The Sellers shall, and the Seller shall
cause its Affiliates, to cease using the name "Adventure Marine" or any
derivation thereof within six months of the Closing Date.

9. Accounts Receivable. (a) The Buyer shall, in the manner
provided in paragraph 6.9(b), promptly reimburse the Sellers for any sums
collected for Accounts Receivable in excess of 50% of the aggregate face
amount of the Current Accounts Receivable. In the event the Buyer is
unable to collect 50% of the face amount of the Current Accounts
Receivable within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Buyer may, among
other remedies, exercise its right to Set-Off under the Buyer Notes and
the Other Buyer Notes and/or seek indemnification pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.

(b) On the tenth day of each month following the Closing
Date, the Buyer shall deliver to Reinhold an accounting which details the
amount of Accounts Receivable collected by the Buyer in the previous
month. If the Buyer has collected in excess of 50% of the Current
Accounts Receivable, the Buyer shall, at that time, reimburse Sellers for
all amounts not previously paid to Sellers which Buyer has collected with
respect to the Accounts Receivable in excess of 50% of the Current
Accounts Receivable. The Buyer agrees to use diligent efforts to collect
the Accounts Receivable. If, at any time after six months following the
Closing Date, the Buyer has collected an amount in excess of 50% of all
Current Accounts Receivable and the Buyer is unable to collect any of the
Accounts Receivable, the Buyer shall, at the Seller's request, assign
such uncollected Accounts Receivable to the Sellers.

10. Non-Compete.

a) To induce Buyer to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (i) John Reinhold agrees to execute
the Noncompetition Agreement attached as Exhibit "I" to the
Adventure Brokerage Stock Purchase Agreement, and (ii) Frederic D.
Pace ("Pace") agrees that for a period of five (5) years after the

retail or wholesale business related to the
marine industry, or

the Sellers at the expense of the Buyer, or

agent or consultant to any retail or wholesale
business related to the marine industry,

or within a 250 mile radius of Key Largo, Florida.

b) If any court of competent jurisdiction should
determine that any term or terms of this covenant are too broad with
respect to time, geographic area, lines of commerce or otherwise,
such court shall modify and revise any such term or terms so that
they comply with applicable law.

c) The provision set forth in this paragraph
6.10 shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) five years after the
date of this Agreement, or (ii) the termination of the employment
by the Buyer of Pace, unless such termination is "For Cause". The
term "For Cause" shall mean (i) Pace's gross neglect or willful
misconduct in the discharge of his duties and responsibilities to
the Buyer, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Buyer,
(ii) Pace's repeated failure to obey reasonable directions from the
Buyer, (iii) any act of Pace's against the Buyer intended to enrich
Pace at the expense of the Buyer, (iv) any willful act or omission

H. Remedies

1. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer.

a) In the event any of the Sellers breaches (or in the
event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean any
of the Sellers has breached) any of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein (other than those of
the Sellers described in paragraph 8.1(b) and (c)), then each of
the Sellers agrees jointly and severally to indemnify the Buyer
from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Buyer may suffer, for a period of one year following the Closing
Date, through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
(including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer after
the end of such one year period) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the
alleged breach); provided, however, that (a) the Sellers shall
have no obligations to indemnify the Buyer for any Adverse
Consequences pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) for an amount in
excess of (i) the Buyer Notes and (ii) the Other Buyer Notes,
issued in connection with the sale of Adventure North and
Adventure Brokerage and (b) the Buyer's exclusive remedy for any
claims brought pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) shall be the right
to Set-Off described in Section 8.5 hereof.

b) Each of Sellers shall be obligated to fully and
completely indemnify the Buyer, for an unlimited period of time
following the Closing (subject to applicable statutes of
limitation), from and against the entirety of any Adverse
Consequences the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of
or relating to any Liability suffered as a result of (i) fraud by
the Sellers or the Company (including without limitation any
Adverse Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of a breach of
the Seller's representations in paragraph 3.1 (Representations
and Warranties) hereof), (ii) a misrepresentation which the
Sellers or the Company knew or reasonably should have known or
been aware (including without limitation any Adverse Consequences
suffered by Buyer as a result of employee misstatements to
customers or others), (iii) claims by employees against the
Company (including without limitation any Adverse Consequences
suffered by Buyer as a result of the representations made by the
Sellers and the Company in paragraph 4.24 (Employee Benefits)
hereof), (iv) Taxes (including without limitation any Adverse
Consequences suffered by Buyer as a result of the representations
made by the Sellers and the Company in paragraph 4.11 (Tax
Matters) hereof, and (v) claims by any of the current or former
shareholders of the Company, Adventure North or Adventure
Brokerage against the Company, Adventure North, Adventure
Brokerage or the Buyer and its affiliates.

c) Each of the Sellers shall be obligated to fully and
completely indemnify the Buyer for an unlimited period of time
following Closing (subject to applicable statutes of limitation)
from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in
the nature of, or caused by any Liability of any of the Company
(i) for any Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax year or
portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any
Tax year beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to
the extent allocable (determined in a manner consistent with
paragraph 9.2 below) to the portion of such period beginning
before and ending on the Closing Date), to the extent such Taxes
are not reflected in the Tax Reserve or have not been paid to the
Buyer pursuant to paragraph 9.1 below, and (ii) for the unpaid
Taxes of any Person (other than any of the Company) under Treas.
Reg. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or
foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or
otherwise suffer.

2. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Sellers.
The representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer shall survive
the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of one
year. In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party
alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of
its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, provided
that any of the Sellers makes a written claim for indemnification against
the Buyer within such one year period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify
each of the Sellers from and against any Adverse Consequences the Seller
may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification
(including any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end
of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged
breach). Furthermore, the Buyer agrees to fully and completely indemnify
the Sellers for any Adverse Consequences suffered by the Sellers as a
result of any action or omission by the Company following the Closing
Date; provided, however, that (i) in the case of Adverse Consequences
involving a series of actions or omissions by the Company, the Buyer
shall not indemnify Sellers for any liability created by the Company
prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) this provision shall not apply to
Frederic Pace for any Adverse Consequences suffered by Pace arising out
of or in connection with Pace's employment with the Company or the Buyer
subsequent to the Closing Date.

3. Matters Involving Third Parties.

a) If any third party shall notify any party (the
"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party
Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this
part 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each
Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that
no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the
Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend
the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel
of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so
long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party
in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given
notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will
indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of
any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or
caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party
will have the financial resources to defend against the Third
Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations
hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money
damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable
relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect
to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of
the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom
or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying
Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and
diligently.

c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the
defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraph
8.3(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-
counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the
defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will
not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably
withheld).

d) In the event any of the conditions in paragraph 8.3(b)
above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified
Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third
Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and
the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any
consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith),
(ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified
Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending
against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties will
remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified
Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in
the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest
extent provided in this part 8.

4. Determination of Adverse Consequences. The parties
shall take into account the time cost of money (using the Applicable Rate
as the discount rate) in determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of
this part 8. All indemnification payments under this part 8 shall be
deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

5. Set-off Under Buyer Notes. The Buyer shall have the
option of recouping all or any part of any Adverse Consequences it may
suffer (in lieu of seeking any indemnification to which it is entitled
under this part 8); such right shall be exercisable by Buyer by notifying
the Sellers that the Buyer is reducing the principal amount outstanding
under the Buyer Notes. This shall affect the timing and amount of
payments required under the Buyer Notes in the same manner as if the
Buyer had made a permitted prepayment (without premium or penalty)
thereunder. The Buyer shall offset against each Buyer Note based on each
Seller's percentage ownership of the Company, based upon the information
contained in paragraph 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule. If the Buyer
discovers an Adverse Consequence prior to the maturity of the Buyer Note
(the "Maturity Date,), but is unable, in good faith, to determine with
specificity the amount of the Adverse Consequence and, therefore, does
not exercise its right of Set-Off prior to the Maturity Date, the
Maturity Date shall be deemed to be extended until the Buyer can
determine the amount of the Adverse Consequence and exercise its right of
Set-Off. The extension of the Maturity Date hereunder shall not be
considered an event of default under the Buyer Note and no late payment
shall be payable as a result of the extension of the Maturity Date.
Following any set-off by Buyer against the Buyer Note which in the
aggregate is equal to the full amount thereof, Buyer shall be permitted
to set-off unsatisfied Adverse Consequences arising under this Agreement
against the Other Buyer Notes, issued in connection with the sale of
Adventure North and Adventure Brokerage.

6. Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing
indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of,
any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any party may have for
breach of representation, warranty, or covenant. Each of the Sellers
hereby agrees that he or it will not make any claim for indemnification
against the Company by reason of the fact that he or it was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the
request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer,
employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for
judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement,
losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any
statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect
to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by
the Buyer against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding,
complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable
law, or otherwise).

I. Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain Tax
matters following the Closing Date:

1. Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date.
Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed
all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit
the Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in
the preceding sentence prior to filing. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer
for Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15)
days after payment by Buyer of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are
not reflected in the Tax Reserve. Buyer shall be permitted to Set-Off
against the Buyer Note to pay any such Taxes.

2. Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the
Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or
cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which
begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Sellers
shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes
are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of
such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on
the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Tax
Reserve. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are
imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that
includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax
which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing
Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or
related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for
the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date
and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable
period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income
or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the
relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating
to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date
shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended
on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the
foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior
practice of the Company.

3. Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Buyer, the Company and Sellers shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other
party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to
this Part 9 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention
and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and
information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on
a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and
Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to
Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable
period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of
the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer
or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable
periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered
into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party
reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or
discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so
requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow
the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to
use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other
document from any governmental authority or any other Person as
may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon
request, to provide the other party with all information that
either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043
of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated
thereunder.

4. Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or
similar agreements, if any, with respect to or involving the Company
shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date,
the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

5. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use,
stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall
be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file
all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all
such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other
Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will
cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns
and other documentation.

J. Termination.

1. Termination of Agreement. Certain of the parties may
terminate this Agreement as provided below:

a) the Buyer and both Sellers may terminate this
Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the
Closing;

b) the Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the Sellers on or before the 10th day following
the date of this Agreement if the Buyer is not satisfied with the
results of its continuing business, legal, and accounting due
diligence regarding the Company;

c) the Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the Sellers at any time prior to the Closing
(i) in the event any of the Sellers has breached any material
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement
in any material respect, the Buyer has notified the Sellers of
the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a
period of 5 days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 1997,

ending on a date 30, 60 or 90 days later elected by
Borrowers in their notice to Agent; (2) Borrowers'
written notice of an election shall be received by Agent
in time to satisfy the Minimum Notice Requirement;
(3) the last day of the Interest Period will not be
subsequent in time to the Termination Date; (4) in the
case of a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the
Interest Period applicable after such continuation shall
commence on the last day of the preceding Interest
Period; (5) no LIBOR Rate election shall be made if
Agent determines by reason of circumstances affecting
the interbank Eurodollar market that either adequate or
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, or it
becomes impracticable for Agent to obtain funds by
purchasing Dollars in the interbank Eurodollar market,
or if Agent or any Lender determines that the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate will not adequately or fairly reflect the
costs to any Lender of maintaining the applicable LIBOR
Rate Advances at such rate, or if as a result of any
Regulatory Change, it shall become unlawful or
impossible for Lenders to maintain any such LIBOR Rate
election; (6) there shall never be more than five (5)
LIBOR Rate Advances, in the aggregate, in effect at any
one time hereunder; and (7) no LIBOR Rate election shall
be made after the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Default or Event of Default.

(iii) If, on or after the Effective Date, any
Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful or impossible
for any Lender (or its Eurodollar lending office) to
make, maintain or fund LIBOR Rate Advances and such
Lender shall so notify Agent, Agent shall forthwith give
notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrowers,
whereupon until such Lender notifies Borrowers and Agent
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make
LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended. If such Lender
shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to
maintain and fund any of its outstanding LIBOR Rate
Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such
notice, Borrowers shall immediately prepay in full the
then outstanding principal amount of such Lender's
portion of the LIBOR Rate Advances, together with
accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying
such portion of the LIBOR Rate Advances, such Lender
shall make a Variable Rate Advance to Borrowers in an
equal principal amount (on which interest and principal
shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
LIBOR Rate Advances of the other Lenders).

(iv) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify Agent and Lenders against any loss or expense
which Agent or Lenders may, as a consequence of
Borrowers' failure to make a payment on the date such
payment is due hereunder or the payment, prepayment or
conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder on a day
other than an Interest Adjustment Date, sustain or incur
in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties
acquired to effect, fund or maintain any such LIBOR Rate
Advances or any part thereof, including, without
limitation, any Consequential Losses.

(v) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, also
indemnify Lenders against and reimburse Lenders for
increased costs to Lenders, as a result of any
Regulatory Change, in the maintaining of any LIBOR Rate
Advances. Agent shall give Borrowers a written notice
of such costs within one hundred eighty (180) days of
its or any Lender's implementation and/or compliance
with any such Regulatory Change and such costs shall be
reimbursed to such Lender prior to the earlier of
(i) the Termination Date or (ii) ten (10) days following
written notice thereof from Agent to Borrowers. All
payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall be made
free and clear, without reduction for, or account of,
any present or future taxes or other levies of any
nature, excluding net income and franchise taxes.

(c) To the extent Borrowers have not made an effective
election under and in accordance with subparagraphs (a) or
(b) above (including, without limitation, at the expiration
of an Interest Period), the Applicable Rate shall be the rate
specified pursuant to the provisions contained herein for
Variable Rate Advances. If Borrowers have failed to make
such election at the end of an Interest Period, the Lenders
shall be deemed to have made a Variable Rate Advance in the
amount, and in replacement, of the LIBOR Rate Advance then
maturing.

Section 3.12. Capital Adequacy. If any present or future
law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation
thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate
jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required to be
maintained by Agent or any Lender or any corporation controlling
such Agent or any Lender reasonably determines that the amount of
capital so required to be maintained is increased by or based upon
the existence of the Credit Facility or the Letters of Credit,
then Agent may notify Borrowers, in writing, of such fact, and
Borrowers shall pay to Agent (for the benefit of such Lender) from
time to time on demand, as an additional fee payable hereunder,
such amount as such Lender shall determine in good faith and
certify in a notice to Borrowers in reasonable detail to be an
amount that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of
these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such
capital effective after the date of Agent's notice to Borrower.
The payment required hereby shall be paid within thirty (30) days
after the above certified notice has been delivered to Borrowers.
Lender shall allocate such cost increases among their customers
in good faith and on an equitable basis.

(u) Section 3.6(a) (formerly Section 3.5(a)) of the Credit
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following
provision:

(a) At any time, Borrowers may by notice to Agent, with
at least three Business Days prior notice in the case of
LIBOR Rate Advances, and at least one Business Day prior
notice in the case of Variable Rate Advances to the date on
which prepayment under this Section 3.6 is to be made,
voluntarily prepay outstanding Advances from time to time and
at any time, in whole or in part; provided, that (i) each
such partial payment must be in a minimum amount of at least
One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) or any
whole multiple of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($50,000.00) in excess thereof, and (ii) Borrowers shall pay
any related Consequential Losses within ten (10) days after
Agents demand therefor. Each such optional prepayment shall
be applied ratably in accordance with Section 3.9 to pay the
amounts owed to each Lender under the Credit Facility.

(v) Section 3.6(b) (formerly Section 3.5(b)) of the Credit
Agreement is modified to insert the words "together with any

Borrowers shall indemnify Lenders against any consequential
loss (the "Consequential Loss") incurred by Lenders as a
result of any such prepayment, such Consequential Loss to be
an amount equal to any losses, costs or expenses incurred or
anticipated to be incurred by any Lender by virtue of such
prepayment, which such loss, cost or expense shall include
that which any Lender may sustain or incur in liquidating or
employing deposits from any Lender or third parties acquired
to effect, fund or maintain any such LIBOR Rate Advance, and
shall be due and payable to Lenders at the time of such
prepayment. Such loss or expense shall consist of (i) any
expense or penalty incurred by any Lender in redepositing
such principal amount, plus (ii) any "breakage" fees that any
Lender is required to pay by reason of the early breakage of
any customary LIBOR contract entered into by any Lender in
connection with providing funds for such LIBOR Rate Advance.
Any Consequential Loss required to be paid by Borrowers
pursuant to this Section 3.6 or any other provisions of this
Agreement or of the other Loan Documents in connection with

an acceleration of sums due under LIBOR Rate Advances or any
part thereof due to an Event of Default.

the subsection reference in the fourth line thereof from Section 3.5(b)

pursuant to such insurance, however, Buyer shall not be liable to
Seller for any loss not covered by insurance.

Buyer under this Agreement will be allocated among the Assets as set
forth in Section 2.1. Buyer and Seller agree to be bound by such
allocation, will not take any position inconsistent with such allocation,
and will file all returns and reports with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including all federal, state, and local
tax returns, on the basis of such allocation.

responsibility for any liabilities or obligations associated with the

the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the

action of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by

service marks, or any other word, name, symbol, or device, or
combination thereof which is used by Seller to identify and

sold, or offered by others, as set forth on Schedule 4.4.2, whether
existing at common law or which are applied for or which are
registered in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
Tennessee or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

right, title, interest, claim in or lien on any of the Intangibles.

have a material adverse effect on the Business. Seller has not received

8.4 Third Party Claims. Promptly (and in any event within 30
days) after the receipt by any party of notice of any claim, action, suit
or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement
(collectively, an "Action"), which Action is subject to indemnification
under this Agreement, such party (the "Indemnified Party") will give
reasonable written notice to the party from whom indemnification is
claimed (the "Indemnifying Party"). The Indemnified Party will be
entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Party, to
exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any
such Action unless the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time (and
in any event within 15 days) after the giving of such notice by the
Indemnified Party, (a) admits in writing to the Indemnified Party the
Indemnifying Party's liability to the Indemnified Party for such Action
under the terms of this Section 8, (b) notifies the Indemnified Party in
writing of the Indemnifying Party's intention to assume such defense, and
(c) retains legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party to conduct the defense of such Action. The other party will
cooperate with the party assuming the defense, compromise or settlement
of any such Action in accordance with this Agreement in any reasonable
manner that such party reasonably may request. If the Indemnifying Party
so assumes the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party will
have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not
control) the defense, compromise or settlement of the Action, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the
Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay
such fees and expenses, (ii) any relief other than the payment of money
damages is sought against the Indemnified Party or (iii) the Indemnified
Party will have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party, and in any such case that portion of
the fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are reasonably
related to matters covered by the indemnity provided in this Section 8
will be paid by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party will settle
or compromise any such Action for which it is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement without prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying
Party will settle or compromise any such Action (A) in which any relief
other than the payment of money damages is sought against any Indemnified
Party or (B) in the case of any Action relating to the Indemnified
Party's liability for any tax, if the effect of such settlement would be
an increase in the liability of the Indemnified Party for the payment of
any tax for any period beginning after the Effective Date, unless the
Indemnified Party consents in writing to such compromise or settlement,
which consent may not be unreasonably witheld.

8.5 Offset. Buyer will have a right of offset in the
Promissory Note with respect to any matter for which Buyer is indemnified
under Section 8.2.

8.6 Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision contained
herein to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party shall not have any
liabilities under this Section 8 prior to November 20, 1998, unless the
aggregate of all amounts to which such Indemnifying Party is liable
exceeds on a cumulative basis $1,000, in which event such Indemnifying
Party is liable for all such amount above and below $1,000. After
November 20, 1998, such cumulative amount must exceed $10,000 before a
claim may be made, in which event the Indemnifying Party is liable for
all such amount above and below $10,000. In addition, the total
liability of an Indemnifying Party for claims made under this Section 8
after November 20, 1998 shall be limited to the Purchase Price plus
amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.2.1.

WHEREAS, Buyer has agreed to acquire certain of the assets of
Southeastern Marine, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Seller"), pursuant to
that certain asset purchase agreement dated as of the date hereof (the
"Purchase Agreement") among Buyer, Seller and the owners of Seller (the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein); and

WHEREAS, Owner owns 50% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
Seller; and

WHEREAS, Owner has established a valuable, far-reaching personal
reputation in the boat, boat accessory and water sports sales business; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will acquire
Seller's tradenames "Southeastern Marine", "Southeastern Marine, Inc.",
and all derivative uses of such names and the goodwill associated

WHEREAS, Owner's personal reputation and identification with the
Business is a significant portion of the value of the Business; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that the reasonable market area of a
business such as the Business is approximately a 150-mile radius; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the closing of the purchase
under the Purchase Agreement that Owner shall have entered into this
Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual
covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter expressed, Travis, Buyer and
Owner agree as follows:

Section 1.

1.1 Non-Competition. Owner will not, for any reason:

1.1.1 Engage in a business or businesses, directly or
indirectly, that competes with Buyer in its conduct of the Business,
or otherwise receive compensation for any services rendered regarding
any aspect of the boat, boat accessory or water sport sales business
anywhere in Tennessee within 150 miles of the location of the
Business.

1.1.2 Participate, directly or indirectly, in any business that
competes with Buyer and the Business at any Boat Show.

1.1.3 Engage in a business or businesses, directly or

water sport sales business anywhere in Tennessee within 150 miles of
the location of any store operated by Travis or any Affiliate of

1.1.4 Engage or participate, directly or indirectly, in any
business which is substantially similar to that of Travis or any

consultant, administrator, officer, director, employee, manager,
landlord, lender, guarantor, or in any similar or related capacity or
otherwise receive compensation for services rendered regarding any
aspect of the boat, boat accessory or water sport sales business
anywhere in Tennessee within 150 miles of the location of any store
operated by Buyer, Travis or any Affiliate of Travis.

1.2 Owner agrees that Travis and Buyer will not be able to recognize
the value of Seller's assets and the Business unless Buyer is able to
engage in the successful operation of the Business, that the
non-competition provisions set forth in Section 1.1 are ancillary to the
Purchase Agreement, that the Purchase Agreement is an otherwise enforceable
agreement, and that the non-competition provisions in this Agreement are
therefore ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Owner further
agrees that the non-competition provisions set forth above are supported by
independent valuable consideration and contain reasonable limitations as to
the time, geographical area, and scope of activity for which he is to be
restrained; and that the limitations of the non-competition provisions do
not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or
other business interests of Travis and Buyer. It is agreed by the parties
that the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 impose, on the date of the
execution of this Agreement, a reasonable restraint on Seller in light of
the activities and businesses of Travis and Buyer and their future plans.

1.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, Owner will be deemed to be
engaging or participating in a business or businesses if he is engaged in
such business or businesses, directly or indirectly, whether for his own
account or for that of any other person, firm or corporation, and whether

corporation with more than 500 beneficial holders of common stock and as to
which he owns, in the aggregate, less than 5% of any class of stock),

principal, agent, proprietor, consultant, manager, independent contractor,
sales representative, landlord, lessor, lender, guarantor, or in any other
capacity. Engagement or participation by Owner's spouse in any activity
prohibited by this Agreement shall be deemed to be indirect engagement or
participation by Owner.

Section 2.

2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date
hereof and will terminate on the earlier of (i) November 20, 2002, or
(ii) the effective date of Owner's termination of employment by Buyer
without cause.

2.2 Remedies. Owner acknowledges that a breach of any of the
provisions of Section 1 will cause irreparable harm to Travis and Buyer,
for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and for which the
ascertainment of damages would be difficult. Therefore, Travis and Buyer
will be entitled to specific performance of Section 1 hereof, in addition
to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law,
as well as injunctive relief (without being required to post bond or other
security), and, if such legal action becomes necessary, Travis and Buyer
will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs of court
incurred in connection with such action. Nothing contained herein will be
construed as prohibiting Travis and Buyer from pursuing any other remedies
available to it for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

2.3 Notices. Notices and demands provided for under this
Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to be fully given and
received if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the respective
party at the address listed at the beginning of this Agreement.

hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer or Travis or any successor to the
business of Buyer or Travis, by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or
otherwise.

2.5 Reformation; Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be legal, valid and enforceable
under applicable law, but in the event any provision of this Agreement is
held to be prohibited, unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, the
parties agree that such provision will automatically be deemed modified for
purposes of performance of this Agreement to the extent necessary to render
it lawful, valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible
without materially altering the intent of the parties, that such provision
will automatically be deemed severed from this Agreement to the extent of
such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity. The validity of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be altered by any such
modification or severance.

2.6 Amendment of Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2.5, this
Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a
writing signed by all parties.

2.7 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AND

REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF TEXAS. Each of the undersigned
irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding brought against said
Person with respect to this Agreement will be brought in the appropriate
court in Travis County, Texas and hereby waives any right to be sued in any
other place.

2.8 Construction. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the parties and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No terms or
understandings not herein contained will apply unless in writing and signed
by all parties subsequent to execution of this Agreement. This Agreement

("Travis"), TRAVIS BOATING CENTER TENNESSEE, INC., a Texas corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of Travis ("Buyer"), both having an office for the

SOUTHEASTERN MARINE GROUP, INC., a Tennessee corporation ("Seller") with an
office for the purpose of notice at 5150 Hereford Court, Brentwood,
Tennessee 37027, Attn: Mike Zoretic.

WHEREAS, Buyer has agreed to acquire certain of the assets of Seller
pursuant to that certain asset purchase agreement dated the date hereof
(the "Purchase Agreement") among Buyer, Seller and the owners of Seller
(the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in
the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will acquire
Seller's tradenames "Southeastern Marine", "Southeastern Marine Group, Inc.
", and all derivative uses of such names and the goodwill associated
therewith; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that the reasonable market area of a
business such as the Business is approximately a 150-mile radius; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the closing of the purchase
under the Purchase Agreement that Seller shall have entered into this
Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual
covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter expressed, Travis, Buyer and
Seller agree as follows:

Section 1.

1.1 Non-Competition. Seller will not, for any reason:

1.1.1 Engage in a business or businesses, directly or
indirectly, that competes with Buyer in its conduct of the Business, or
otherwise receive compensation for any services rendered regarding any
aspect of the boat, boat accessory or water sport sales business anywhere
in Tennessee within 150 miles of the location of the Business.

1.1.2 Participate, directly or indirectly, in any business that
competes with Buyer and the Business at any Boat Show.

1.1.3 Engage in a business or businesses, directly or
indirectly, that competes with Travis or any Affiliate of Travis in their
conduct of the boat, boat accessory or water sport sales business, or
otherwise receive compensation for any services rendered regarding any
aspect of the boat, motor, trailer, or marine accessory or water sport
sales business anywhere in Tennessee within 150 miles of the location of
any store operated by Travis or any Affiliate of Travis.

1.1.4 Engage or participate, directly or indirectly, in any
business which is substantially similar to that of Travis or any Affiliate
of Travis, including, without limitation, serving as a consultant,
administrator, officer, director, employee, manager, landlord, lender,
guarantor, or in any similar or related capacity or otherwise receive
compensation for services rendered regarding any aspect of the boat, boat
accessory or water sport sales business anywhere in Tennessee within 150
miles of the location of any store operated by Buyer, Travis or any
Affiliate of Travis.

1.2 Seller agrees that Travis and Buyer will not be able to recognize
the value of Seller's assets and the Business unless Buyer is able to
engage in the successful operation of the Business, that the
non-competition provisions set forth in Section 1.1 are ancillary to the
Purchase Agreement, that the Purchase Agreement is an otherwise enforceable
agreement, and that the non-competition provisions in this Agreement are
therefore ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Seller further
agrees that the non-competition provisions set forth above are supported by
independent valuable consideration and contain reasonable limitations as to
the time, geographical area, and scope of activity for which he is to be
restrained; and that the limitations of the non-competition provisions do
not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or
other business interests of Travis and Buyer. It is agreed by the parties
that the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 impose, on the date of the
execution of this Agreement, a reasonable restraint on Seller in light of
the activities and businesses of Travis and Buyer and their future plans.

1.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, Seller will be deemed to be
engaging or participating in a business or businesses if it is engaged in
such business or businesses, directly or indirectly, whether for its own
account or for that of any other person, firm or corporation, and whether
as a stockholder (except solely as a stockholder in a publicly held
corporation with more than 500 beneficial holders of common stock and as to
which he owns, in the aggregate, less than 5% of any class of stock),
director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, joint venturer,
principal, agent, proprietor, consultant, manager, independent contractor,
sales representative, landlord, lessor, lender, guarantor, or in any other
capacity.

Section 2.

2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date
hereof and will terminate on November 20, 2002.

2.2 Remedies. Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the
provisions of Section 1 will cause irreparable harm to Travis and Buyer,
for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and for which the
ascertainment of damages would be difficult. Therefore, Travis and Buyer
will be entitled to specific performance of Section 1 hereof, in addition
to, and without having to prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law,
as well as injunctive relief (without being required to post bond or other
security), and, if such legal action becomes necessary, Travis and Buyer
will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs of court
incurred in connection with such action. Nothing contained herein will be
construed as prohibiting Travis and Buyer from pursuing any other remedies
available to it for such breach, including the recovery of money damages.

2.3 Notices Notices and demands provided for under this Agreement will
be in writing and will be deemed to be fully given and received if sent by
registered mail, postage prepaid, to the respective party at the address
listed at the beginning of this Agreement.

2.4 Assignment. Buyer or Travis may assign its rights or obligations
hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer or Travis or any successor to the
business of Buyer or Travis, by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or
otherwise.

2.5 Reformation; Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be legal, valid and enforceable
under applicable law, but in the event any provision of this Agreement is
held to be prohibited, unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, the
parties agree that such provision will automatically be deemed modified for
purposes of performance of this Agreement to the extent necessary to render
it lawful, valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible
without materially altering the intent of the parties, that such provision
will automatically be deemed severed from this Agreement to the extent of
such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity. The validity of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be altered by any such
modification or severance.

2.6 Amendment of Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2.5,
this Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a
writing signed by all parties.

2.7 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES OF TEXAS. Each of the undersigned
irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding brought against said
Person with respect to this Agreement will be brought in the appropriate
court in Travis County, Texas and hereby waives any right to be sued in any
other place.

2.8 Construction. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the parties and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No terms or
understandings not herein contained will apply unless in writing and signed
by all parties subsequent to execution of this Agreement. This Agreement is
intended to benefit only the parties hereto and no third party will have
any right to enforce this Agreement or receive any benefits hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Travis, Buyer and Seller have executed this
Agreement, in the manner appropriate to each, as of the day and year first
above written.
