Briggs & Stratton Corporation
Performance Share Unit Terms and Conditions
Section 1. Performance Period
The Performance Period commences on the first day of the three-year performance
period stated on the first page of the award and ends on the last day of such
period.
Section 2. Value of Performance Share Units

Each Performance Share Unit has a value for purposes of this Agreement equal to
one share of common stock of the Company.
Section 3. Performance Share Units and Achievement of Performance Measures

(a)    The number of Performance Share Units to be earned under this Agreement
shall be based upon the achievement of a level of COI as approved by the
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors for
the Performance Period, based on the following table:
Performance Level
COI
Percentage of Target Earned
Minimum
$XXX million
25%
Target
$YYY million
100%
Maximum
$ZZZ million
200%

(b)    “COI” means the Company’s Income from Operations as reported in its
consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC for the relevant
Performance Period or relevant portion thereof as adjusted by the Committee to
exclude or adjust significant nonbudgeted or uncontrollable capital investments
or gains or losses from actual financial results in order to properly measure
performance.
(c)    Straight line interpolation shall be used to determine the number of
Shares awarded in the event the ranking does not fall directly on one of the
ranks listed in the above table, by rounding up or down to the nearest 10
Shares. For example, if COI is 117.25% of Target and the Performance Share
Target Award at Target is 500 Shares, the number of Shares awarded would be 590
(500 x 117.25% = 586.25 rounded up to 590).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    No Participant may receive awards under the Plan covering more than
250,000 Shares in any fiscal year. In the event that the maximum number of
Shares that may be issued under this Agreement, when combined with any other
awards to the Participant for a fiscal year, would cause the Participant to
exceed the limit, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to the
Participant shall be reduced so that the limit is met. The number of Shares
subject to such reduction shall be paid to the Participant in the following
fiscal year if the Participant continues in employment for 12 months, provided
that any payment in the following fiscal year shall also be subject to the
foregoing limit and, if the limit would be exceeded, the same process shall be
repeated until the Shares can be issued without exceeding the limit or the
Participant’s employment is terminated.
Section 4. Restrictive Covenants
It shall be a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement that the
Participant shall have signed an employment or other agreement containing
customary provisions relating to noncompetition during employment,
nonsolicitation of employees and customers following employment, confidentiality
and assignment of inventions to the Company, in the form proposed by the
Company.
Section 5. Termination Provisions
(a)    Except as provided below, the Participant shall be eligible for payment
of Performance Share Units as determined in Section 3 only if the Participant’s
employment with the Company (or one of its affiliates) continues through the end
of the Performance Period.
(b)    If the Participant’s employment terminates prior to the end of the
Performance Period by reason of the occurrence of such Participant’s retirement,
Disability or death, a pro-rated payment will be provided as follows:
(i)    In the event of retirement or Disability, the pro-rated payment will be
computed as of the end of the Performance Period. The proration shall be based
on the number of full months that the Participant was employed during the
Performance Period prior to the retirement or Disability.
(ii)    In the event of death, COI will be computed as of the end of the
Company’s fiscal quarter subsequent to the date of death and compared to Target
COI during the same period. The proration shall be based on the number of full
months that the Participant was employed during the Performance Period prior to
death. The number of earned shares, if any, shall be delivered to the estate of
the Participant as soon as practicable after the computations described above.
(c)    If the Committee determines that (i) the Participant has breached any of
the obligations referenced in Section 4 of this Agreement during the Performance
Period or (ii) the Performance Share Units were awarded with respect to (A) a
Plan Year for which there has been a material restatement of the Company’s
annual report to the SEC due to negligence or misconduct by one or more persons
or (B) any subsequent Plan Year having awards materially affected by the
restatement, the Company shall be entitled to declare all or any portion of the
Performance Share Units awarded under this Agreement to be forfeited.

(d)    As used in this Section of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the
meaning stated in Article 2.15 of the Plan, and “retirement” shall mean any
termination of employment by the Employee or the Company for reason other than
death after the Participant has achieved 30 years of service, age 62 with at
least 10 years of service or age 65.
Section 6. Dividends
The Participant shall have no right to any dividends which may be paid with
respect to Shares until any such Shares are paid to the Participant following
the completion of the Performance Period. However, any dividends declared during
the Performance Period shall be credited to the Performance Share Units and
shall be reinvested as additional Performance Share Units subject to this
Agreement on the date the dividends are paid.
Section 7. Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Share Units
(a) The Performance Share Units as finally calculated herein shall be paid to
the Participant no later than two and one-half months after the end of the
Performance Period, subject to the following:
(i) The Participant shall have no right with respect to any award until such
award shall be paid to such Participant.
(ii) The number of Performance Share Units paid to the Participant shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest 10 shares.
(b) Performance Share Units awarded, if any, will only be paid out in Shares.
Such Shares may be credited to the Participant in book entry form and held,
along with any stock dividends relating thereto, in custody by the Company or an
agent for the Company until the Participant instructs otherwise.
Section 8. Nontransferability
Performance Share Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Participant’s rights under the Plan shall be exercisable during
the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal
representative.

This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all
the terms and conditions of the Plan as amended from time to time, as well as
such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the
Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer,
construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the
administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding
upon the Participant. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan
shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

Section 10. Miscellaneous
(a)    This Agreement shall not give the Participant any right to be retained in
the employ of the Company. The right and power of the Company to dismiss or
discharge the Participant is specifically reserved. The Participant or any
person claiming under or through the Participant shall not have any right or
interest in the Plan or any award thereunder, unless and until all terms,
conditions, and provisions of the Plan that affect the Participant have been
complied with as specified herein.
(b)    This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required. To the extent not preempted by federal
law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Wisconsin.
(c)    The Company shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or
require the Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to
satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or
regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising under this
Agreement. With respect to withholdings required upon payment of Shares in
satisfaction of all of the Performance Share Units awarded, the Company will
withhold Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to
be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on
the transaction.
(d)    In the event of a Change in Control, all performance conditions shall be
deemed satisfied as if target performance was achieved, and awards will be
settled pro rata based on the proportion of the applicable Performance Period
that lapsed through the date of the Change in Control in accordance with Article
17(c) of the Plan. Such deemed earned Performance Share Units shall be paid out
as soon as practicable.
