Exercise Settlement-Payment / Tax Withholding
On exercise, the number of shares of Brunswick stock delivered will be
determined as follows:

determine the total dollar gain.
§ The total dollar gain will be divided by the closing market price on date of
exercise.

delivery of shares, then the ultimate stock delivered will be reduced by an
amount necessary to accommodate the required tax withholding.
