	Grant Date
	February 4, 2013

	Performance Shares
	Shares of Brunswick Corporation common stock (“Common Stock”) where the number of shares of Common Stock delivered is based on attainment of Performance Criteria set forth herein.  Shares of Common Stock subject to this Grant shall be referred to herein as “Performance Shares.”



	Target Award


	____________ Performance Shares is the target against which Performance Criteria shall apply.  



	Performance Period
	•      Cash Flow Return on Investment (“CFROI”) Performance Criteria:  one-year performance period, commencing January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2013 (the “CFROI Performance Period”).
•      For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Award Period” shall mean the three-year performance period, commencing January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2015.

	Performance Criteria
	•       CFROI:  payout of 50% to 150% of the target Performance Shares based solely on performance against CFROI Performance Criteria over the CFROI Performance Period, as set forth in Appendix A attached hereto.  

	Termination of employment
	•    Forfeiture of Performance Shares in the event employment terminates prior to the end of the Award Period, except if the Grantee terminates due to death or permanent disability (as defined below) or the Grantee’s age and years of service equals 70 or more or age is 62 or more.
•    In the case of a termination of employment (other than for “cause” (willful misconduct in the performance of duties)) on or after the first anniversary of the beginning of the Award Period (i) due to death or permanent disability (as defined below) or (ii) on or after the date on which age plus years of service equal 70 or more or age is 62 or more, the Grantee or his or her estate or personal representative shall receive the award, calculated as if the Grantee had remained employed throughout the entire Award Period and based on actual CFROI Performance.  The Performance Shares shall be distributed to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of this award under “Timing of Distribution.”
•    In the case of a termination of employment (other than for “cause” (willful misconduct in the performance of duties)) prior to the first anniversary of the beginning of the Award Period (i) due to death or permanent disability (as defined below) or (ii) on or after the date on which age plus years of service equal 70 or more or age is 62 or more, a pro-rata portion of the award will be distributed to the Grantee or his or her estate or personal representative in accordance with the terms of this award under “Timing of Distribution.”  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a “pro-rata portion” will mean the product of (x) the number of Performance Shares that would otherwise be paid out at the end of the Award Period based on actual CFROI Performance and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the beginning of the CFROI Performance Period through the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the CFROI Performance Period.  All remaining Performance Shares shall be forfeited.  Fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.













	
		
	Change in Control
	•    On a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), a pro-rata portion of the award shall vest and the remainder of the award shall be forfeited. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a “pro-rata portion” shall mean the product of (x) the number of Performance Shares equal to 100% of the target award (or, if the Change in Control occurs after the CFROI Performance Period, the number of Performance Shares actually earned based on CFROI performance) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the beginning of the CFROI Performance Period through the Change in Control (not to exceed the number of days in the CFROI Performance Period), and the denominator of which is the number of days in the CFROI Performance Period. 
•    Any vested Performance Shares shall be delivered to the Grantee within thirty (30) days of such Change in Control; provided, however, for those whose age and years of service could equal 70 or more or age will be 62 or more, in either case prior to January 1, 2015, all of the award will be distributed in accordance with  the terms of this award under “Timing of Distribution;” provided, further, that if the Change in Control is a “change in control event” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and applicable regulations issued thereunder (except that in no event shall an acquisition of assets under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii) constitute a change in control event, unless such event is also a sale or disposition of at least all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), then the vested performance share award shall be delivered to the Grantee within thirty (30) days of such Change in Control.

	Timing of Distribution
	•    Except as otherwise provided for herein, shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Grantee in settlement of the award as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Award Period, subject to certification in writing of the Company’s attainment of the Performance Criteria.  In no event shall the award be settled later than 2 1⁄2 months following the end of the year in which the third anniversary of the Grant Date occurs.
•    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event that (i) the Grantee is a “Covered Employee” (as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), as amended) with respect to the taxable year in which the Performance Shares would otherwise be delivered, and (ii) the sum of the value of the Performance Shares deliverable to the Grantee under the award and other compensation payable by Brunswick to the Grantee with respect to such taxable year exceeds $1.5 million, the portion of the Performance Shares that, when added to such other compensation would result in the Grantee receiving total compensation in excess of $1.5 million shall be converted into deferred stock units and be automatically deferred pursuant to Brunswick's Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan.  Performance Shares converted into deferred stock units shall be payable to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Automatic Deferred Compensation Plan.

	Tax Withholding


	Tax withholding liability (to meet required FICA, federal, state, and local withholding) must be paid via share reduction upon distribution.

	Additional Terms and Conditions
