AMENDMENT TO TRUST AGREEMENT

This amendment is made as of August 11, 2011 to the Trust Agreement dated as of January 31, 1995 (the
Trust Agreement) by and between Briggs & Stratton Corporation (Company) and Johnson Heritage Trust Company, which was subsequently restructured as an unincorporated division of Johnson Bank (Trustee).

WHEREAS on June 25, 2003 the Trustee notified the Company that Johnson Heritage Trust Company was to
become a division of its parent company Johnson Bank, and such corporate consolidation occurred on July 1, 2003;

WHEREAS, on April 27, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to establish a separate trust agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo)
to fund the Companys Key Employee Savings and Investment Plan, the trust agreement with Wells Fargo includes the same definition of change of control that appears in Section 11 of the Companys shareholder-approved Incentive
Compensation Plan, and on August 10, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to modify the Trust Agreement to use such definition in the Trust Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Section 12(a) of the Trust Agreement states that the Trust Agreement may be amended by a written instrument
executed by Trustee and Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Trust Agreement as
follows:

of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the Outstanding Company Common Stock) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote

(ii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any
individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Companys shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be
considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the
election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

(iii) Approval by the shareholders of the Company and the subsequent consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation (a Business Combination), in each case, unless, following such
Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
Business Combination beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company through one or more subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority
of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such
Business Combination; or

(iv) Approval by the shareholders of the Company and the subsequent consummation of
(A) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (B) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other



---

and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals
and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership,
immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) less than 20% of, respectively, of the then outstanding shares of common stock of
such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Person (excluding any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation), except to the extent that such Person owned 20% or more of the Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities prior to the sale or disposition
and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of such corporation were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such sale or other
disposition of assets of the Company or were elected, appointed or nominated by the Board.

respects, the Trust Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.
