Re:
Second Amendment to Terms and Conditions of Employment

Dated October 29, 2008

Dear Peter:

As we have discussed, this amendment letter (the “Second Amendment”) shall
constitute an amendment to the Terms and Conditions of Employment (the
“Agreement”) entered into between you and Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”) on
October 29, 2008, in accordance with Section 16 of the Agreement.  The Second
Amendment is in addition to the Amendment dated May 5, 2009 (the “Amendment”)
entered into between you and Brunswick.

The purpose of the Second Amendment is to eliminate a provision of the Agreement
that would automatically terminate the Term of the Agreement upon your attaining
the age of 65.

All capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment but not otherwise defined
herein will have the same meaning as defined in the Agreement, and all section
references are to a section of the Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

Accordingly, you and Brunswick hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in the Agreement, Section 14 of the Agreement
(“Termination Provisions”) will be amended to remove the provision that the Term
will automatically terminate upon your attaining age 65.  Thus, Section 14 of
the Agreement will read as follows:

The Term may be terminated at any time by the Company upon six (6) month’s
advance written notice to the Executive; provided, however, that if a Change in
Control occurs prior to the expiration of the Term, the Term shall not terminate
prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the date on which the Change in Control
occurs.

For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent expressly modified by this
Second Amendment, all other terms of the Agreement and Amendment will remain in
full force and effect.

The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Second
Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard
to its choice of law provisions.

This Second Amendment, together with the Amendment and the Agreement and
appendices attached thereto, contains the entire agreement between you and
Brunswick concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether
written or oral, between you and Brunswick.  This Second Amendment may not be
modified or amended except by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of
which shall be deemed the original without reference to the others.

Intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties have executed this Second
Amendment on the dates set forth next to their names below.
