9. (a) Each of the OneWater Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “roadshow” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act (a “roadshow”), or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any Section 5(d) Writing, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the OneWater Parties shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Section 5(d) Writing, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(b) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless each OneWater Party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such OneWater Party may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or any Section 5(d) Writing, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or any Section 5(d) Writing, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse each OneWater Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such OneWater Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an Underwriter and an applicable document, “Underwriter Information” shall mean the written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the first three sentences of the fifth paragraph concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the ninth, tenth and eleventh paragraphs concerning short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales by the Underwriters under the caption “Underwriting.”

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is

an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the OneWater Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the OneWater Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the OneWater Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the OneWater Parties bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the OneWater Parties on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The OneWater Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) Each of the OneWater Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters (each a “Directed Share Underwriter Entity”) against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the OneWater Parties for distribution to Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program or caused by any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be

stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) caused by the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Directed Share Underwriter Entities.

(f) Promptly after receipt by a Directed Share Underwriter Entity under subsection (e) of this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Directed Share Underwriter Entity shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any OneWater Party, notify such OneWater Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify such OneWater Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (e) of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify such OneWater Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to a Directed Share Underwriter Entity otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any Directed Share Underwriter Entity and it shall notify any OneWater Party providing indemnification of the commencement thereof, such OneWater Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other OneWater Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Directed Share Underwriter Entity (who shall not, except with the consent of such Directed Share Underwriter Entity, be counsel to the OneWater Party providing indemnification), and, after notice from such OneWater Party to such Directed Share Underwriter Entity of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such OneWater Party shall not be liable to such Directed Share Underwriter Entity under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Directed Share Underwriter Entity, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No OneWater Party providing indemnification shall, without the written consent of such Directed Share Underwriter Entity, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Directed Share Underwriter Entity from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Directed Share Underwriter Entity.

(g) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (e) above is unavailable to a Directed Share Underwriter Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the OneWater Parties, in lieu of indemnifying the Directed Share Underwriter Entity thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Directed Share Underwriter Entity as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the OneWater Parties on the one hand and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand from the offering of the Reserved Shares or (2) if the allocation provided by clause 9(g)(1) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(g)(1) above but also the relative fault of the OneWater Parties on the one hand and of the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in connection with any statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the OneWater

Parties on the one hand and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Directed Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Directed Shares (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities for the Directed Shares, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Directed Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the OneWater Parties on the one hand and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the OneWater Parties or by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(h) The OneWater Parties and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities agree that it would be not just or equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (g) above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Directed Share Underwriter Entities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (g) above. The amount paid or payable by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities in connection with investigating or defending such any action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (g) above, no Directed Share Underwriter Entity shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Directed Shares distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Directed Share Underwriter Entity has otherwise been required to pay. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in paragraphs (e) through (h) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(i) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in paragraphs (e) through (h) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Directed Share Underwriter Entity or the OneWater Parties and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Directed Shares.

(j) The obligations of the OneWater Parties under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the OneWater Parties may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the OneWater Parties (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for

you or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the OneWater Parties, except for the expenses to be borne by the OneWater Parties and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the OneWater Parties and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the OneWater Parties, or any officer or director or controlling person of the OneWater Parties, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the OneWater Parties shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the OneWater Parties, jointly and severally, will reimburse the

Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the OneWater Parties shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated and SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. on behalf of you as the representatives.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the OneWater Parties, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the OneWater Parties and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the OneWater Parties and each person who controls the OneWater Parties or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

2. Each of the Subsidiaries is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, with power and authority (limited liability company or corporate, as applicable) to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and each of the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, in good standing in all jurisdictions set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto.

3. The Offered Securities have been duly authorized in accordance with the Governing Documents and when issued and delivered by the Company to the Underwriters upon payment therefor in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued in accordance with the Governing Documents and fully paid and nonassessable, and conform to the description of such Offered Securities contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in all material respects; and the stockholders of the Company have no preemptive rights with respect to the Offered Securities under federal law, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Company’s Governing Documents or other instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

4. The shares of Class A common stock to be issued by the Company to certain legacy owners (the “Exchanging Owners”) pursuant to the Master Reorganization Agreement, have been duly authorized in accordance with the Governing Documents and when issued and delivered by the Company upon payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Master Reorganization Agreement, will be validly issued in accordance with the Governing Documents and fully paid and nonassessable.

Except as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no persons with registration rights, or other similar rights, to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or registered by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or otherwise.

7. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof

as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.

8. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any federal or New York court, Delaware court or governmental agency is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the execution and delivery by the Company Entities of the Underwriting Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, except (a) such as have been obtained or made, (b) for the registration of the offering and sale of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act or (c) for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings as may be required under applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and the approval by FINRA of the underwriting terms and arrangements in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters or (d) for such consents that, if not obtained, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Company and the Subsidiaries to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Transaction Documents in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company.

9. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to (a) the Governing Documents of the Company or the similar organizational documents of any of the Subsidiaries, (b) any applicable federal or New York statute, rule or regulation, the DGCL or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, (c) any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or (d) to our knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court of the United States of America, the State of New York or the State of Delaware, except, with respect to clauses (b) through (d), as would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Company and the Subsidiaries to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Transaction Documents in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company; it being understood that we express no opinion in clause (b) of this paragraph with respect to any federal or state securities, blue sky or anti-fraud laws, rules or regulations.

10. The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act; to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission; and any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such rule.

11. Each of the Company Entities has all requisite corporate or limited liability power and authority, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and, in the case of the Company, to issue and sell the Offered Securities.

12. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company Entities.

13. The Reorganization has been duly authorized by the Company Entities.

14. The statements set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the headings “Description of Capital Stock”, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Tax Receivable Agreement,” “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Registration Rights Agreement,” “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — OneWater LLC Agreement,” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” and in the Registration Statement in Item 14, to the extent that they constitute descriptions or summaries of the terms of the Offered Securities or the documents referred to therein, or refer to statements of federal law, the laws of the State of Delaware or legal conclusions, are accurate in all material respects, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth therein.

15. The statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of United States federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth therein.

16. The Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective, the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and at the Time of Delivery (in each case other than (a) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon and (b) the other financial data derived therefrom in each case included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, or contained in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as to which we express no opinion), appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

17. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company Entities, as applicable, and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of each Company Entity, party thereto, enforceable against such Company Entity in accordance with its terms, provided that the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (b) public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

We have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company Entities and with representatives of the independent accountants for the Company and OneWater LLC and representatives of the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed. Although we have not independently verified, are not passing upon, and are not assuming any responsibility for or expressing any opinion regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except to the extent specified in paragraphs (14) and (15) above), based on the foregoing, in participation in this transaction (and relying as to factual matters on officers, employees, and other representatives of the Company Entities), no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that:

The Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

except that in each case, we do not express any belief with respect to (i) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, or (ii) any other financial or accounting information, in each case included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

Re: OneWater Marine Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated and SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with OneWater Marine Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), One Water Marine Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OWM LLC”), and One Water Assets & Operations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OWAO”), providing for a public offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date of this agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) and continuing to and including the date 180 days after

the date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Shares (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned shall not, and shall not cause or direct any of its affiliates to, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, any limited liability company interests in OWM LLC (the “LLC Units”) (such options, warrants or other securities, collectively, “Derivative Instruments”), including without limitation any such shares of Common Stock or Derivative Instruments now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned, (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock or Derivative Instruments, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Common Stock, LLC Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any such sale, loan, pledge or other disposition, or transfer of economic consequences, a “Transfer”) or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action or activity described in clause (i) above or transaction or arrangement described in clause (ii) above. The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is not, and has not caused or directed any of its affiliates to be or become, currently a party to any agreement or arrangement that provides for, is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any Transfer during the Lock-Up Period, other than any agreements or arrangements regarding those transactions described below that are not subject to the restrictions on Transfer contained herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the undersigned agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or other Shares the undersigned may purchase in the Offering.

If the undersigned is not a natural person, the undersigned represents and warrants that no single natural person, entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a natural person, entity or “group” (as described above) that has executed a Lock-Up Agreement in substantially the same form as this Lock-Up Agreement, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the common equity interests, or 50% or more of the voting power, in the undersigned.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director (in his capacity as such) shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer or become party to any agreement or arrangement to transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock or LLC Units:

(i)

as a bona fide gift or gifts;

(ii)

(a) to an immediate family member of the undersigned;

(b) to a trust, family limited liability company or like entity formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family member of the undersigned;

(c) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and the immediate family member are the legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(d) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession;

(e) pursuant to a domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement or order of a court or regulatory agency;

(iii)

as a distribution to direct or indirect partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned;

(iv)

to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled by, under the control of or under common control with the undersigned;

(v)

to the Company in connection with the net exercise or net settlement of an award granted under the equity incentive plan or any other plan or agreement described in the Pricing Prospectus, where any Shares received by the undersigned upon any such exercise or settlement will be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement;

(vi)

with the prior written consent of both (a) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc. and (b) one of the other Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters;

(vii)

in connection with transfers or dispositions of shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in the open market following the Offering;

provided that in the case of each transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above, (x) each donee, trustee, distribute or transferee, as the case may be, agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein and (y) any such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value, provided, further, that in the case of each transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) and clause (vii) above, no filing or public announcement by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act or otherwise shall be required or shall be voluntarily made reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Stock in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period); and provided, further, that in the case of each transfer pursuant to clause (v) above, if a filing under the Exchange Act is required by, or voluntarily made with respect to, such transfer, the undersigned shall disclose in such filing that the transfer is in connection with the net exercise or net settlement of an award granted under the equity incentive plan or any other plan

or agreement described in the Pricing Prospectus. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, the corporation may transfer the shares of Common Stock or LLC Units to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such shares of Common Stock or LLC Units subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such shares of Common Stock or LLC Units except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vii) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the undersigned’s Shares and LLC Units, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Shares and LLC Units except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

In addition, the undersigned may establish any written contract, instruction or plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no sales of the undersigned’s shares of Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Class A Common Stock, shall be made pursuant to such a Rule 10b5-1 Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and provided further, that no party is required to publicly announce, file or report the establishment of such Rule 10b5-1 Plan in any public report, announcement or filing with the SEC under the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period and does not otherwise voluntarily effect any such public report, announcement or filing regarding such Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

The restrictions described in this Lock-Up Agreement shall not apply to (i) any exchange or transfer in connection with, and as contemplated by, the Reorganization (as such term is defined in the Pricing Prospectus); or (ii) any exchange of LLC Units and a corresponding number of shares of the Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, for shares of the Class A Common Stock provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), exchanges shall be in accordance with the OWM LLC Agreement, provided further that, in the case of this clause (ii), such shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement.

[Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall restrict the undersigned or any of its affiliates (except for the Specialty Lending Group within the Merchant Banking Division of The Xxxxxxx Sachs Group, Inc.), from engaging in any activities, including brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, principal investing and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of its or its affiliates’ business.]¹

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
