adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the
quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The 1995 interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the remainder of the year.

The financial statements segregate the results of the Company's discontinued
Technical segment.  The 1995 and 1994 operating results of the Technical Group
have been charged against a reserve established at the time the decision to
discontinue the segment was announced. See Note 4 for additional discussion on
the Technical Group disposition.

Note 2 - Earnings per common share

Earnings (loss) per common share are based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  Such
average shares were 96.0 million and 95.8 million for the quarters ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 96.0 and 95.7 million for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Note 3 - Inventories

Inventories, of which approximately sixty percent were valued using the LIFO
method, consisted of the following at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
(dollars in millions):
                                             June 30        December 31

Note 4 - Disposition of the Technical segment

On April 28, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the
assets of its Technical Group to Technical Products Group, Inc, a recently
formed company controlled by TPG Holdings in Atlanta, Georgia. Included in the
sale were Brunswick operations in Marion, Virginia: Lincoln, Nebraska; Camden,
Arkansas; and Deland, Florida. Excluded were the assets associated with the
unit's facility in Costa Mesa, California, which are fully reserved as of June
30, 1995 and for which the Company continues to seek a buyer. Also in the
second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a provision of $11.5 million ($7.0
million after-tax) reflecting lower than anticipated selling prices for those
businesses.

Note 5 - Restructuring charges and management transition expenses

In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded restructuring and
management transition expenses of $40.0 million($24.4 million after-tax). The
charge consists of anticipated losses on the planned divestitures of the golf
club shaft business and Circus World Pizza operations, management transition
expenses and the costs of an early retirement and selective separation program
at the Company's corporate office.

Note 6 - Investments

On January 20, 1995, the Company and Orbital Engine Corporation Ltd. of Perth,
Australia, formed a joint venture to design, manufacture and market fuel
systems for low-emission two-stoke engines. The Company contributed $6.6
million for its 50% share of this joint venture.

Note 8 - Debt(Cont.)

As of June 30, 1995, the Company and seventeen banks had a short-term credit
agreement for $100 million and a long-term credit agreement for $300 million. 

On November 7, 1994, both agreements were amended to reduce facility fees,
extend maturities and reduce spreads on borrowing options. The termination date
of the short-term agreement was extended to November 6, 1995 and the long-term
agreement was extended to December 31, 1999. With mutual agreement between the
Company and the banks, the short-term agreement may be extended.

Under terms of the amended agreements, the Company has multiple borrowing
options, including borrowings at a corporate base rate, as announced by The
First National Bank of Chicago, or a rate tied to the Eurodollar rate.
Currently, the Company must pay a facility fee of 0.10% on the short-term
agreement and 0.15% on the long-term agreement.

Under the agreements, the Company is subject to interest coverage, net worth
and leverage tests as well as a restriction on secured debt, as defined.  On
the interest coverage test, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of
consolidated income before interest and taxes, as defined, to consolidated
interest expense of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 on a cumulative twelve-month
basis. The ratio, on a cumulative twelve-month basis, was 8.7 to 1.0 at June
30, 1995.  The leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to capitalization, as
defined, may not exceed 0.55 to 1.00, and at June 30, 1995, this ratio was 0.25
to 1.00.

The Company is also required to maintain shareholders' equity of least $776.0
million, with the required level of shareholders' equity at December 31 of each
year being increased by 50% of net earnings for that year.  The Company has
complied with this limitation and the secured debt limitation as of June 30,
1995. There were no borrowings under the agreements at June 30, 1995.

Note 9 - Litigation

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims which have
arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally
adjudicated.  In light of existing reserves, the Company's litigation and
claims, when finally resolved, will not, in the opinion of management, have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and
results of operations.

The Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980 and other federal and state legislation governing the generation and
disposition of certain hazardous wastes.  These proceedings, which involve both
on and off site waste disposal, in many instances seek compensation from the
Company as a waste generator under Superfund legislation which authorizes
action regardless of fault, legality of original disposition or ownership of a
disposal site.

On February 3, 1995, the Company announced a series of agreements with Genmar
Industries, Inc., including settlement of an antitrust lawsuit brought by
Genmar against the Company. Agreements were entered to supply Genmar with
marine engines manufactured by the Company and to acquire certain investments
in another boat manufacturer from Genmar. The Company's total cash payment
relating to these agreements was $22.5 million and had no material impact on
the results of operations of the Company.
<PAGE>
                                       
Note 9 - Litigation(Cont.)

The Federal Trade Commission is conducting an investigation of whether the
formation or operations of Tracker Marine L.P. and the Company's contracts with
Tracker Marine L.P. violate the antitrust laws. The Company has received and
responded to a subpoena seeking information relating to the Company's outboard
motor sales.  The Company understands that other marine companies have received
similar subpoenas from the Federal Trade Commission.

Note 10 - Income Taxes

In January 1994, the Company reached an agreement with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding its examination of the Company for the years
1985 and 1986.  The issues of this examination dealt primarily with the
deductibility of approximately $500 million of acquired intangible assets,
which the IRS proposed to reclassify to non-deductible intangible assets. Under
the terms of the agreement, the IRS agreed to allow amortization deductions for
virtually all of the acquired intangible assets, and the Company agreed to
increase the amortizable lives of most of the acquired intangible assets.

The revised lives created a temporary difference which resulted in an initial
obligation by the Company to pay the IRS approximately $55 million during the
first quarter of 1994, representing taxes and interest, net of taxes, for the
years 1986 through 1993.  This initial $55 million obligation will subsequently
be reduced by the future tax benefits of the temporary difference created by
the agreeement.  Since the interest was charged to existing reserves and the
taxes paid represent temporary differences which created, and have been
recorded as deferred tax assets, this agreement had no impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations.

                      Management's Discussion and Anaysis
                   Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased
$19.0 million versus a decrease of $21.3 million in the comparable period of
1994. Net cash provided by operating activities rose to $81.8 million from the
$70.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The net cash provided by
operating activities increased, despite a decline in net earnings, as the
provisions for the restructuring charge and loss on the disposal of
discontinued operations did not effect cash in the period. These items were
partially offset by increased non-cash working capital requirements, primarily
for inventory and receivables. 

Net cash used for investing activities for the first six months of 1995 was
$33.5 million compared to $67.7 million for the same period of 1994. The
decrease resulted primarily from the receipt of proceeds from the disposal of
the Company's Technical Group and the net redemption of marketable securities
with maturities of more than ninety days in 1995 compared to a net investment
in such securities in 1994, partially offset by increased capital expenditures
and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

Net cash used for financing activities was $29.3 million for the first six
months of 1995 compared to $24.0 million in the same period of 1994. The change
resulted primarily from an increase in cash dividends paid to 25 cents per
share in 1995 versus 22 cents per share in 1994.

Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $538.3 million compared to $436.2
million at December 31, 1994.  The Company's current ratio was 1.8 at June 30,
1995 and 1.7 at December 31, 1994.

Total debt at June 30, 1995 was $321.6 million and $327.0 million at December
31, 1994.  The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 24.8% at June 30,
1995 compared to 26.4% at December 31, 1994.

The Company maintains a $100 million short-term and a $300 million long-term
line of credit agreement with a group of banks. For an explanation of the
agreement and a discussion of the specific covenant restrictions, see page 6,
Note 6 - Debt.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1995 were $50.3 million
compared to $39.1 million for the comparable period of 1994.  The Company
believes that operating cash flows and existing cash balances, supplemented
when necessary with short and/or long-term borrowings, will continue to provide
the financial resources necessary for capital expenditures and working capital
requirements.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                             Results of Operations        
              Second Quarter and the First Six Months of 1995 vs. 1994

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased 12% to $839.2
million from $748.2 million in the second quarter of 1994. For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, net sales rose to $1,613.4 million, or 17%, from the
comparable period of 1994. The Marine and Recreation segments contributed to
the improvements in both reporting periods.

The Marine segment net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased 15% to
$645.3 million compared to $563.0 million in the 1994 period. The improvement
resulted from a 24% increase in international sales and a 12% increase in
domestic sales. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, net sales rose 17% to
$1,613.4 million from the $1,383.1 million in the comparable period of 1994.
International sales rose 25% while domestic sales improved 18% in the six month
period. The increases in both reporting periods were led by strong demand for
boats in Europe while demand for marine engines showed a moderate increase. 

The Recreation segment's second quarter net sales increased 5%, to $193.9
million, from $185.2 million for the same period of 1994. For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, net sales increased to $392.4 million, or 8%, from the
$362.6 million for the same period of 1994. The second quarter net sales
improvement resulted primarily from strong East Asian demand for the Brunswick
Division's bowling capital equipment and increased international demand for the
products of the Zebco Division. For the six months, the Zebco Division's sales
increased both domestically and internationally, while the Brunswick Division
experienced stronger domestic demand for consumer products and billiards, and
the international bowling capital equipment sales increase mentioned above. The
BRC Division's sales increased approximately 4%, primarily due to price
increases.

Operating Earnings

For the second quarter, 1995 operating earnings declined to $57.5 million from
$88.4 million in 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, operating
earnings were $131.1 million compared to $133.1 million for the same period of
1994. The declines in both reporting periods resulted from a $40.0 million
provision for restructuring charges and  management transition expenses. Absent
these charges, operating earnings for the second quarter would have been $97.5
million, or 10% higher than the prior year, and for the six months operating
earnings would have been $171.1 million, or 29% higher than 1994.

The Marine segment reported operating earnings of $89.7 million for the second
quarter of 1995 compared to $79.0 million for the same period of 1994. For the
six months ended June 30, 1995, operating earnings were $150.5 million versus
$108.3 million for the comparable period of 1994. The previously discussed
domestic and international sales increases accounted for the improvement,
offset in part by increased manufacturing and product research and development
expenses.

<PAGE>

Operating Earnings(Cont.)

The Recreation segment reported an operating loss of $7.8 million for the
second quarter of 1995, which includes a $25.8 million restructuring charge for
the planned divestitures of the golf shaft business and Circus World Pizza
operations. Absent the restructuring charges, operating earnings were $18.0
million for the second quarter of 1995 versus $22.0 million in 1994. The
decline resulted primarily from delays in shipping the Brunswick Division's new
Frameworx scoring system. Shipments of Frameworx began in the third quarter of
1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, operating earnings were $16.2
million compared to $48.5 million in the 1994 period.  Excluding the
restructuring charge, operating earnings were $42.0 million for 1995. Operating
earnings declined, despite the sales increases discussed previously, because of
the Brunswick Division's higher operating expenses associated with the
introduction of a new product line of capital equipment and lower margins on
sales of German-manufactured pinsetters due to currency fluctuations.

Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 1995 rose to $24.4 milliom from
the $12.6 million in the second quarter of 1994. For the six months ended June
30, 1995, corporate expenses were $35.6 million compared to $23.7 million in
the comparable period of 1994. Both 1995 reporting periods include a provision
of $14.2 million for management transition expenses and the costs of an early
retirement and selective separation program at the Company's corporate office.
Excluding the provision, second quarter corporate expenses were $10.2 million
versus $12.6 million for the same period of 1994. For the six months ended June
30, 1995, corporate expenses, excluding the provision, were $21.4 million
compared to $23.7 million for 1994.

Interest Expense and Other Items, Net

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 increased to $7.9 million from
$6.9 million the same period of 1994. For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
interest expense rose to $15.9 million from the $13.3 million reported for the
1994 period.  The increase for both reporting periods resulted primarily from
increased interest rate swap expenses. Interest income and other items, net for
the second quarter of 1995 was $7.8 million versus $6.2 million for the
comparable period of 1994. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings
of unconsolidated affiliates. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, interest
income and other items, net declined to $6.5 million from $9.7 million for the
same period of 1994. The decline was primarily due to increased foreign
currency losses in the first quarter of 1995.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first six months of
1995 was 36.5% compared to 37% for the same period of 1994. The effective tax
rate for both periods exceeds the statutory rate due to the impact of
non-deductible permanent differences and the effect of higher foreign tax
rates. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter
of 1995 was 35% compared to 37% for the same period of 1994. The 1995 second
quarter rate reflects the adjustment to an effective tax rate of 36.5% at June
30, 1995 from the 37.5% effective tax rate used for the three months ended

                              Employment Agreement

     This Agreement, made and entered into as of April 1, 1995 (the "Effective
Date"), by and between BRUNSWICK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Peter N. Larson (the "Executive");

                                Witnesseth That:

     Whereas, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement pertaining
to the employment of the Executive by the Company beginning on the Effective
Date;

     Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below,
it is hereby covenanted and agreed by the Executive and the Company as follows:

     1.   Performance of Services.  The Executive's employment with the Company
shall be subject to the following:

(a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to
     employ the Executive as its President and Chief Executive Officer during
     the Agreement Term (as defined below), and the Executive hereby agrees to
     remain in the employ of the Company during the Agreement Term.  On the
     Effective Date, the Executive will be elected as a member of the Board of
     Directors of the Company (the "Board"), as a member of the class of
     directors scheduled to stand for election in 1997.  Not later than October
     1, 1995, the Executive shall be elected to the position of Chairman of the
     Board and, for the duration of the Agreement Term, while the Executive is
     employed by the Company, he shall continue to serve as Chairman of the
     Board.

(b)  During the Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the Company,
     the Executive shall devote his best efforts and full business time
     exclusively to the business affairs of the Company and the Affiliates (as
     defined below) and shall perform his duties faithfully and efficiently,
     subject to the direction of the Board.  The Executive, however, may engage
     in charitable, civic or other similar pursuits and, subject to Board
     approval, may become a director of other corporations, to the extent that
     such activities do not interfere with his devoting his best efforts to his
     duties to the Company.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, Board
     approval is deemed to be granted to the Executive to serve on the board of
     directors of Compaq Computer Corp.

(c)  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" means (i) any
     corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity during any period
     in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent of the
     voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or successor to the
     Company) entitled to vote; and (ii) any corporation, partnership, joint

<PAGE>
     venture or other entity during any period in which at least a thirty
     percent voting or profits interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by
     the Company, by any entity that is a successor to the Company, or by
     any entity that is an Affiliate by reason of clause (i) next above. 

(d)  The "Agreement Term" shall be the period beginning on the Effective Date
     and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date.  The Agreement
     Term shall be automatically extended for an additional three-year period
     (until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date), unless either party
     gives written notice to the other party, at least six months prior to the
     third anniversary of the Effective Date, of a decision not to extend the
     term.  Beginning as of the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, the
     Agreement Term shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year
     period on each anniversary of the Effective Date unless either party gives
     six month prior written notice to the other party of a decision not to
     extend the term.

     2.   Compensation.  In consideration of the services rendered by the
     Executive to the Company, in consideration of the Executive's agreement to
     remain in the employ of the Company during the Agreement Term, and subject
     to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall compensate the Executive
     during the Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the Company,
     as follows:

(a)  One-Time Payment.  To compensate the Executive for the forfeiture of
     compensation and other employment benefits resulting from his resignation
     from his prior employer, the Company shall provide to the Executive the
     following one-time payments:

     (i)   The Executive shall receive an award of 149,079 shares of common
           stock of the Company ("Company Stock").  Shares awarded under this
           paragraph (i) shall be fully vested on the Effective Date.

     (ii)  The Executive shall receive a non-qualified stock option award to
           purchase of 500,000 shares of Company Stock, subject to terms
           comparable to those included in stock options awarded under the
           Brunswick Corporation 1991 Stock Plan (the "1991 Plan") to other
           officers of the Company; provided that the purchase price shall
           equal $20.125, the fair market value of the stock as of the
           Effective Date, the option exercise period shall expire ten years
           after grant (or such earlier time following termination of
           employment as provided in stock options awarded to officers under
           the 1991 Plan), and the option shall be exercisable in accordance
           with the following schedule:

<PAGE>

                                        The option shall
                                        become exercisable with
           If the Executive is          respect to the following

           the Following date:          and after thar date:

           1st anniversary of
           the Effective Date                60,000

           2nd anniversary of
           the Effective Date                60,000

           3d anniversary of
           the Effective Date                80,000

           The first date on which the
           Stock Price attains $25.00 or,
           if earlier, the first day of the 
           fiscal year of the Company
           following the fiscal year in
           which net earnings exceed 
           $2.00 per share                        90,000

           Stock Price attains $30.00 or,
           if earlier, the first day of the 
           fiscal year of the Company
           following the fiscal year in
           which net earnings exceed 
           $2.35 per share                        90,000

           $2.70 per share                       120,000

           The Compensation Committee of the Board, in consultation with the
           Executive, shall adjust the net earnings per share requirement and
           the Stock Price requirement applicable to Company Stock under this
           paragraph 2(a)(ii) as appropriate from time to time to reflect
           material acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, recapitalizations,
           reclassifications, stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of
           shares, other capital adjustments and other unusual and
           extraordinary events.  If the Executive's employment by the Company

described in this paragraph 2(a)(ii) shall be subject to terms substantially
comparable to the terms set forth in the stock option agreement included in
Supplement A, which is attached to and forms a part of this Agreement.  To the
extent that the express terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with the terms
of the 1991 Plan or awards granted thereunder, the terms of this paragraph (ii)
and other applicable terms of this Agreement shall govern the awards made under
this paragraph.

    (iii)  If the stock options awarded under this paragraph 2(a) are awarded
           under the 1991 Plan (or any successor plan providing for
           administration by a committee of the Board), or if any other awards
           are made pursuant to this Agreement under the 1991 Plan (or any such
           successor plan), then any action with respect to such awards that is
           required of the Board may instead by taken by the committee
           administering the applicable plan.

(b)  Salary and Review.  The Executive's annual base salary rate shall
     initially be $800,000, and thereafter shall not be reduced below the
     annual rate of $800,000.  The salary shall be payable monthly or more
     frequently in accordance with Company practice and shall be subject to all
     normal deductions and withholdings.  The Executive's performance shall be
     reviewed annually by the Board, taking into account such financial and
     non-financial factors as the Board determines to be pertinent, with the
     results of such review to be discussed with the Executive.  Approximately
     six months through each annual performance review cycle, the Board shall
     review the Executive's performance on an interim basis, with the interim
     review focusing primarily on non-financial factors, and the results of
     such interim review to be discussed with the Executive.  The Executive's
     salary rate shall be reviewed at the time of each annual performance
     review, and shall be established by the Board.

(c)  Bonus.  The Executive shall participate in an annual bonus program.  The
     bonus program shall provide for a maximum bonus amount of 200% of the
     Executive's annual salary.  The performance goals shall be established

<PAGE>

by the Board in consultation with the Executive.  Half of the value for each
bonus award will be distributed in fully-vested shares of Company Stock, with
the remainder distributed in cash.  The value of Company Stock distributed as
a bonus in accordance with this paragraph (c) shall be determined as of the
last business day prior to the date on which the amount of the bonus is
determined by the Board.  For the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, the
Executive shall be entitled to a payment under the annual bonus program of not
less than $400,000 in cash, and an additional award of Company Stock, with
such stock having a value of $400,000, determined as of the last business day
prior to the date on which the amount of the bonus is determined by the Board.

(d)  Long-Term Incentive Share Award.  The Executive shall be entitled to
     Long-Term Incentive Share Awards of Company Stock, subject to the
     following:

     (i)   For the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, the Executive shall
           receive a Long-Term Incentive Share Award of Company Stock based on
           Company performance for that year, provided that the market value
           of such award, determined as of the last business day prior to the
           date on which the amount of the award is determined by the Board,
           shall be not less than $600,000.  The Company performance that must
           be achieved for an award in excess of $600,000 for the fiscal year
           ending December 31, 1995 shall be established by the Board  in
           consultation with the Executive.  The Executive's rights to the
           shares awarded under this paragraph (i) shall be distributed in
           accordance with the deferral provisions of paragraph 2(n).  To the
           extent that the express terms of this Agreement are inconsistent
           with the terms of the 1991 Plan or awards granted thereunder, the
           terms of this paragraph (i) and other applicable terms of this
           Agreement shall govern the awards made under this paragraph.
           Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5:

           (A)  The Executive shall forfeit the shares awarded under this
           paragraph (i) as of his Date of Termination, if such Date of
           Termination occurs prior to the third anniversary of the Effective
           Date under circumstances other than those described in paragraph
           3(a) (relating to the death of the Executive), paragraph 3(b)
           (relating to the Executive's disability), paragraph 3(e) (relating
           to termination by the Executive for Good Reason), paragraph 3(f)
           (relating to termination following a Change in Control), or
           paragraph 3(g) (relating to termination by the Company for reasons
           other than Cause).
<PAGE>

           (B)  The Executive shall become vested on his Date of Termination if
           such Date of Termination occurs prior to the third anniversary of
           the Effective Date under circumstances described in paragraph 3(a)
           (relating to the death of the Executive), paragraph 3(b) (relating
           to the Executive's disability), paragraph 3(e) (relating to
           termination by the Executive for Good Reason), paragraph 3(f)
           (relating to termination following a Change in Control), or
           paragraph 3(g) (relating to termination by the Company for reasons
           other than Cause).

           (C) The Executive shall become vested on the third anniversary of the
           Effective Date if the Executive remains employed by the Company
           through such third anniversary.

           The Executive shall be entitled to dividends with respect to shares
           of Company Stock awarded under this paragraph (i), to the extent
           that the dividends are payable with respect to dates prior to
           termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such
           termination.

     (ii)  For periods after December 31, 1995, the Long-Term Incentive Share
           Awards shall be based on Company performance during three-year
           performance periods, with the first performance period beginning
           January 1, 1996 and ending December 31, 1998, and each subsequent
           performance period beginning immediately after the end of the
           preceding performance period.

    (iii)  The maximum value of the award for any three-year    performance
           period shall be 100% of the Executive's salary for the performance
           period, with the minimum value of the award for the period not less
           than 75% of the Executive's salary for the performance period if the
           target goals established by the Board for the performance period are
           achieved.  The performance goals that must be achieved in connection
           with the three-year performance periods shall be established by the
           Board in consultation with the Executive.  For purposes of this
           paragraph (iii), the Executive's salary for a performance period
           shall be three times his annual salary rate at the beginning of the
           three-year performance period, without regard to any changes in
           salary rate during the performance period.  The value of Company
           Stock distributed as a Long-Term Incentive Share Award shall be
           determined as of the last business day prior to the date on which
           the amount of the award is determined by the Board at the end of
           the performance period.

<PAGE>
     (iv)  Shares awarded for any three-year performance period (as described
           in paragraph 2(d)(ii)) shall be transferred as soon as practicable
           after the end of the performance period, and shall be fully vested
           upon transfer.

(e)  Stock Options.  For each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the
     fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, the Executive shall be entitled to a
     grant of a non-qualified stock option.  The option granted for each year
     shall have a grant-date value (determined using the Black-Scholes
     methodology, but excluding any discount for deferred vesting, or other
     contingencies) of $750,000 (determined as of the date of grant); provided
     that for the year ending December 31, 1995, the value of such option award
     shall be $750,000 (determined as of the date of grant).  Each option shall
     be subject to terms comparable to those included in stock options awarded
     under the 1991 Plan (or any successor or substitute plan) to other
     officers of the Company; provided that the option shall permit purchase of
     shares of Company Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of such
     stock as of the date of grant, the exercise period shall expire ten years
     after grant, or such earlier time following termination of employment as
     provided in stock options awarded to officers under the 1991 Plan, or
     successor to the 1991 Plan, and the option shall be exercisable in
     accordance with the following schedule:

                                        The option shall 
                                        become exercisable with
           If the Executive is          respect to the following
           employed through             number of shares on
           the following date:          and after that date:

           1st anniversary
           of grant date                30% of grant

           2nd anniversary
           of grant date                30% of grant

           3d anniversary 
           of grant date                40% of grant

     Stock options to be awarded for any year under this paragraph (e) shall be
     granted after the end of the year, at the time stock options are granted
     to other officers of the Company, but in no event more than 60 days after
     the end of the year.  If the Executive's employment with the Company is
     terminated after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, all options

<PAGE>

which were awarded to the Executive pursuant to this paragraph (e) prior to the
third anniversary of the Effective Date, other than options for which
performance criteria have not been satisfied, shall become (or remain)
exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the option or (ii)
five years following termination of the Executive's employment.  If the
Executive's employment with the Company is terminated after the sixth
anniversary of the Effective Date, all options which were awarded to the
Executive pursuant to this paragraph (e) after the third anniversary of the
Effective Date and prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, other
than options for which performance criteria have not been satisfied, shall
become (or remain) exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of
the option or (ii) five years following termination of the Executive's
employment.  To the extent that the express terms of this Agreement are
inconsistent with the terms of the 1991 Plan or awards granted thereunder, the
terms of this paragraph (e) and other applicable terms of this Agreement shall
govern the awards made under this paragraph.

(f)  Life Insurance.  The Company shall provide aggregate life insurance death
     benefit coverage to the Executive of at least 3- times the Executive's
     base salary rate, reduced by the face value of any life insurance policy
     rolled out to the Executive under the Company's Split Dollar Life
     Insurance Plan.  At any time after the Effective Date, the Executive may
     reduce the amount of coverage required to be provided under this paragraph
     (f), in which case the Executive will be entitled to receive the net
     amount of any life insurance premium reduction provided to the Company as
     a result of such reduction in coverage, with such amount to be paid by the
     Company to the Executive in cash from time to time.

(g)  Supplemental Pension.  The Executive shall be entitled to receive benefits
     under the Brunswick Supplemental Pension Plan (the "Supplemental Plan")
     or, in the discretion of the Company, under another non-qualified plan
     maintained by the Company, in an amount which, when added to the benefits
     otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Executive under the Supplemental
     Plan and the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, will provide
     the Executive with the benefits that would have been payable to or on
     behalf of the Executive under the Supplemental Plan and the Brunswick
     Pension Plan for Salaried Employees if he had, in addition to his actual
     Years of Service, completed an additional 15 Years of Service with the
     Company.  The monthly benefit payable under this paragraph (g) in the form
     of a single life annuity for the life of the Executive commencing at his

<PAGE>

     age 65 shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the following:

     (i)   the monthly amount of the total Social Security benefit payable to
           the Executive as a single life annuity for the life of the Executive
           commencing at his age 65; and

     (ii)  $15,369.10, which is the monthly amount of the benefit payable to
           the Executive under the Retirement Plan of Johnson & Johnson and
           Affiliated Companies and the Excess Benefit Plan of Johnson &
           Johnson and Affiliated Companies (collectively, the "Predecessor
           Employer Plan"), based on its being paid in the form of a single
           life annuity for the life of the Executive commencing at his age
           65).

     If the pension benefits are payable to the Executive pursuant to this
     paragraph (g) are paid in a form other than a single life annuity for the
     life of the Executive commencing at his age 65, then such benefits shall
     be actuarially equivalent to the value of the benefit determined in
     accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (g), with the
     actuarial equivalency determined using the actuarial assumptions in effect
     under the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees as of the date of
     commencement of such benefit payments.

(h)  Retiree Medical Benefits.  The Executive shall be entitled to retiree
     medical benefit coverage to the same extent as other executives leaving
     the employ of the Company at the time of the Executive's Date of
     Termination, determined as though the Executive had then satisfied any
     applicable service requirements for such coverage.  However, to the extent
     that, as of the Executive's Date of Termination, the amount of required
     employee contributions under the retiree medical benefit plan is based on

plan, any life, accident, medical, hospital or similar group insurance program,
and any plans or arrangements providing tax planning or financial planning.
However, the Company shall not be required to provide a benefit under this
paragraph (k) if such benefit would duplicate (or otherwise be of the same type
as) a benefit specifically required to be provided under another provision of
this Agreement.

(l)  Perquisites.  The Executive shall be entitled to all perquisites generally
     provided by the Company to its senior executives.  However, the Company
     shall not be required to provide perquisites under this paragraph (l) if

     perquisite specifically required to be provided under another provision of
     this Agreement.

(m)  Expenses.  The Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses
     incurred in performing his obligations under this Agreement.  The

(n)  Deferral.  The Executive shall be entitled, by agreement with the Company
     under terms established by the Board and acceptable to the Executive, to

     the Company Stock otherwise due to him from the Company subject to the
     following:

     (i)   Electively deferred cash payments under this paragraph (n) shall be
           credited to a deferred compensation account (the Executive's
           "Account") maintained by the Company in his name.  The opening
           balance of such Account on the date of this Agreement shall be the
           amount credited by the Company in accordance with this paragraph
           (n).  The portion of the Executive's Account that is not invested in
           accordance with paragraph 2(n)(ii) shall be credited as of the last
           day of each calendar month with interest for that month at the prime
           rate in effect at The First National Bank of Chicago on the first
           day of the month or, if greater, the Company's short-term borrowing
           rate.

<PAGE>

    (ii)   The Company, after consultation with the Executive, may invest
           amounts credited to his Account in securities and other assets as the
           Company may determine.  The Company and its agents shall not incur
           any liability by reason of purchasing, or failing to purchase, any
           security or other asset in good faith.  The Executive's Account shall
           be charged or credited as of the last day of each fiscal year of the
           Company, and at such other times as the balance in the Account shall
           be determined, to reflect (A) dividends, interest or other earnings
           on any such investments, reduced by the cost of funds (for the period
           of deferral) for the amount of any taxes incurred by the Company with
           respect thereto; (B) any gains or losses (whether or not realized) on
           such investment; (C) the cost of funds (for the period of deferral)
           for the amount of any taxes incurred with respect to net gains
           realized on any such investments, taking into account any applicable
           capital loss carryovers and carrybacks, provided that in computing
           such taxes, capital gains and losses on assets of the Company other
           than such investments shall be disregarded; and (D) any direct
           expenses incurred by the Company in such fiscal year or other
           applicable period which would not have been incurred but for the
           investment of amounts pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
           (ii).

    (iii)  The Executive shall be entitled to any dividends payable with respect
           to shares of Company Stock during the period in which receipt of
           those shares is electively deferred by the Executive.  Such dividends
           shall be treated as being reinvested in additional shares of Company
           Stock (based on the value of the stock at the time of the dividend),
           which shares shall be delivered to the Executive at the same time as
           delivery of other shares electively deferred by the Executive.  

    (iv)   By providing reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Executive
           may elect to receive interest and dividends earned with respect
           deferred cash and stock distributions as such interest and dividends
           are earned.

    (v)    The Brunswick Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan (the
           "Supplemental Plan") provides that certain amounts deferred under a
           "Deferred Compensation Agreement" shall be taken into account for
           purposes of determining a Participant's plan benefits.  For purposes
           of the Supplemental Plan, salary and bonus amounts that are
           electively deferred by the Executive in accordance with this pargraph
<PAGE>

           (n) shall be treated as deferred under a Deferred Compensation
           Agreement, and shall be taken into account under the Supplemental
           Plan to the extent provided in that plan.

    (vi)   The Company will distribute the shares of Company Stock described
           below in this paragraph (vi) as soon as practicable (but not more
           than ten business days) after the Executive's Date of Termination.
           Subject to paragraph 2(n)(iv), during the period of deferral, any
           dividends will be deemed reinvested in accordance with paragraph
           2(n)(iii) above.  The deferral under this paragraph (vi) shall apply
           to:

           (A) The one-time stock award described in paragraph 2(a)(i), with the
           period of deferral to begin as of the Effective Date.

           (B) The Long-Term Incentive Stock Award for the 1995 fiscal year, as
           described in paragraph 2(d)(i), with the period of deferral to begin
           as of January 1, 1996.

           (C) The portion of the bonus for the 1995 fiscal year payable in
           Company Stock, as described in paragraph 2(c), with the period of
           deferral to begin as of the date on which stock bonuses are
           distributable to other officers for the 1995 year or, if no such
           awards are distributable, as of February 15, 1996.

(o)  Attorney fees.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the
     reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of
     this Agreement.

     3.  Termination.  The Executive's employment with the Company may be
terminated by the Company or the Executive only under the circumstances
described in paragraphs 3(a) through 3(g):

(a)  Death.  The Executive's employment hereunder will terminate upon his
     death.

(b)  Disability.  If the Executive is Disabled, the Company may terminate the
     Executive's employment with the Company.  For purposes of the Agreement,
     the Executive shall be deemed to be "Disabled" if he has a physical or
     mental disability that renders him incapable, after reasonable
     accommodation, of performing his duties under this Agreement.

<PAGE>

(c)  Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder at
     any time for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause"
     shall mean the Executive's gross misconduct or willful and material breach
     of this Agreement.

(d)  Termination by Executive.  The Executive may terminate his employment
     hereunder as of the end of the Agreement Term.  The delivery of a notice
     by the Executive to the Company in accordance with paragraph 1(d)
     indicating that the Executive will not extend the Agreement Term shall be
     treated as the delivery of Notice of Termination by the Executive, with
     the Executive's employment treated as being terminated immediately
     following the end of the Agreement Term under this paragraph (d) (except
     to the extent that the notice indicates that the failure to renew is for
     Good Reason, and the circumstances conform to the requirements of
     paragraph 3(e)).

(e)  Termination by Executive for Good Reason.  The Executive may resign for
     Good Reason (as defined in this paragraph (e)).  For purposes of this
     Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean, without the Executive's express
     written consent, the occurrence of any of the following circumstances
     unless, in the case of paragraphs (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii)
     below, such circumstances are fully corrected within a reasonable period
     (not to exceed 10 business days) following delivery of the Notice of
     Termination given in respect thereof:

     (i)    The assignment to the Executive of any duties materially
            inconsistent with the Executive's position as President, Chief
            Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, or a substantial
            adverse alteration in the nature of the Executive's
            responsibilities from those in effect on the Effective Date.

     (ii)   Relocation of the Executive's office to a location that is greater
            than fifty miles from the Executive's office as of the Effective
            Date.

     (iii)  A reduction in the Executive's annual base salary or bonus
            opportunities as of the Effective Date, except for across-the-board
            uniform bonus reductions affecting all senior executives of the
            Company, or a reduction in any benefit required to be provided to
            the Executive under this Agreement to a level below the level
            required under this Agreement.

     (iv)   The failure of the Company, without the Executive's consent, to pay
            to the Executive any portion of the Executive's compensation due
            under this Agreement, within 10 business days of the date such
            such payment is due.

<PAGE>
     (v)    The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from
            any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement.

     (vi)   Any purported termination of the Executive's employment that is not
            effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the
            requirements of paragraph (h) below (and for purposes of this
            Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective).

     (vii)  A reasonable determination by the Executive that, as a result of a
            change in circumstances regarding his duties, he is unable to
            exercise the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to
            his position and contemplated by paragraph 1(a).

     (viii) The failure of the Executive to be elected Chairman of the Board by
            October 1, 1995; provided, however, that if, prior to October 1,
            1995, the Company provides Notice of Termination to the Executive
            that the Executive's employment is being terminated for Cause, or
            because of his being Disabled, and the circumstances conform to the
            requirements of paragraph 3(c) or paragraph 3(b), respectively, or
            if the Executive's death occurs before October 1, 1995, the failure
            to elect the Executive as Chairman of the Board shall not
            constitute an event described in this paragraph 3(e).

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this paragraph 3(e) or paragraph
     3(f), nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to authorize or permit
     the resignation of the Executive during the Agreement Term.

(f)  Termination following Change in Control.  The Executive may elect to
     terminate his employment with the Company during the first six months
     following a Change in Control for any reason.

(g)  Termination by Company.  The Company may terminate the Executive's
     employment hereunder at any time for any reason, and the Company shall not
     be required to specify a reason for the termination unless termination
     occurs under paragraph 3(a), 3(b), or 3(c).  Termination of the
     Executive's employment by the Company shall be deemed to have occurred
     under this paragraph 3(g) only if it is not for reasons described in
     paragraph 3(a), 3(b) or 3(c).  The delivery of a notice by the Company to
     the Executive in accordance with paragraph 1(d) indicating that the
<PAGE>

the Company will not extend the Agreement Term shall be treated as the delivery
of Notice of Termination by the Company, with the Executive's employment
treated as being terminated immediately following the end of the Agreement Term
under this paragraph (g) (except to the extent that the notice indicates that
the failure to renew is for Cause, or because of the Executive's death or the
Executive's being Disabled, and the circumstances conform to the requirements
of paragraph 3(c), paragraph 3(a) or paragraph 3(b), respectively).

(h)  Notice of Termination.  Any termination of the Executive's employment by
     the Company or the Executive must be communicated by a written Notice of
     Termination to the other party hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, a
     "Notice of Termination" means a dated notice which indicates the specific
     termination provision in this Agreement relied on and which sets forth in
     reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis
     for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so
     indicated (except to the extent that such facts and circumstances are not
     required under paragraph 3(d), 3(f), or 3(g)).

(i)  Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" means the last day the
     Executive is employed by the Company, provided that the Executive's
     employment is terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
     this paragraph 3.

   (4) Rights Upon Termination.  The Executive's right to payment and benefits
under this Agreement for periods after his Date of Termination shall be
determined in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph 4:

(a)  Death or Disability.  If the Executive's Date of Termination occurs under
     circumstances described in paragraph 3(a) (relating to the Executive's
     death) or paragraph 3(b) (relating to the Executive's being Disabled),
     then, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2(d), paragraph 4(e) or
     otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the
     Executive shall be entitled to:

     (i)   Any unpaid salary for days worked prior to the Date of Termination,
           and payment for unused vacation (determined in accordance with the
           policies of the Company as in effect from time to time for Company
           officers) earned prior to the Date of Termination.
    
     (ii)  A pro-rata payment with respect to the bonus described in paragraph
           2(c) for the performance period in which the Date of Termination
           occurs.    In determining the amount of the bonus payable under

<PAGE>

           this paragraph (ii), the performance through the end of the 
           performance period shall be extrapolated based on the performance
           through the Date of Termination.

    (iii)  A pro-rata distribution of the Long-Term Incentive Share Award
           shares described in paragraph 2(d) with respect to the performance
           period in which the Date of Termination occurs.  In determining the
           amount of the Long-Term Incentive Share Award payable under this
           paragraph (iii), the performance through the end of the performance
           period shall be extrapolated based on the performance through the
           Date of Termination.

    (iv)   Lapse of non-performance exercise restrictions with respect to stock
           options.  For purposes of this Agreement, exercise restrictions with
           respect to options shall be considered to be "non-performance" if it
           is substantially certain, at the Date of Termination, that the
           restrictions would have lapsed if the Executive had continued in the
           employ of the Company for two years after that date.

    (v)    The performance-related exercise restrictions with respect to stock
           options shall lapse to the extent that the Board, in its discretion,
           determines that the lapse is appropriate.  The determination by the
           Board shall be based on such factors as the Board determines to be
           appropriate, including the progress toward the performance goals
           that have been achieved as of the Date of Termination.

    (vi)   The portion of any stock option awarded to the Executive that is
           exercisable immediately prior to the Date of Termination, as well as
           the portion of any stock option that becomes exercisable by reason
           of this paragraph (a), shall remain exercisable for five years after
           the Date of Termination, but in no event later than the date fixed
           for expiration of the option (determined without regard to
           Executive's termination of employment).

(b)  Termination by Company without Cause.  If the Executive's Date of
     Termination occurs under circumstances described in paragraph 3(g)
     (relating to termination by the Company without Cause), if the Executive
     resigns for Good Reason, or if the Executive resigns in accordance under
     circumstances described in paragraph 3(f) (relating to termination
     following a Change in Control), then, subject to paragraph 2(d), paragraph
     4(e), and except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and
     the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to benefits in accordance
     with paragraphs (i) through (viii) below, determined as though he had

<PAGE>

     continued to be employed by the Company for the period continuing 
     through the second anniversary of the Date of Termination:

     (i)  The Executive shall be entitled to the salary amount
          described in paragraph 2(b), as in effect on his
          Date of Termination, determined as though he had
          continued to be employed by the Company for the period
          continuing through the second anniversary of the Date of
          Termination.

     (ii) The Executive shall be entitled to the bonus payments
          described in paragraph 2(c), determined as though he had
          continued to be employed by the Company for the period
          continuing through the second anniversary of the Date of
          Termination; provided that the Executive will be entitled
          to a pro-rata payment for the performance period that
          includes the two-year anniversary of the Date of Termination.
          In determining the amount of the bonus payable under this
          paragraph (ii), the performance through the end of the
          performance period shall be extrapolated based on the
          performance through the Date of Termination.

   (iii)    The Executive shall be entitled to the Long-Term
            Incentive Share Award described in paragraph 2(d)
            based on the actual performance for the applicable
            period(s), determined as though he had continued to
            be employed by the Company for the period continuing
            through the second anniversary of the Date of
            Termination; provided that the Executive will be
            entitled to a pro-rata payment for the performance
            period that includes the two-year anniversary of the
            Date of Termination.  In determining the amount of
            the Long-Term Incentive Share Award payable under
            this paragraph (iii), the performance through the end
            of the performance period shall be extrapolated based
            on the performance through the Date of Termination.

    (iv)    The Executive shall be entitled to the life insurance
            coverage described in paragraph 2(f), determined as
            though he had continued to be employed by the Company
            for the period continuing through the second
            anniversary of the Date of Termination.

    (v)     The non-performance exercise restrictions with
            respect to stock options shall lapse as of the Date
            of Termination.  The performance-related exercise
            restrictions with respect to stock options shall
            lapse to the extent that the Board, in its
<PAGE>

            discretion, determines that the lapse is appropriate; provided that 
            such determination by the Board shall be based on such factors as 
            the Board determines to be appropriate, including the progress 
            toward the performance goals that have been achieved as of the Date
            of Termination.

    (vi)    The portion of any stock option awarded to the Executive that is
            exercisable immediately prior to the Date of Termination, as well
            as the portion of any stock option that becomes exercisable by
            reason of this paragraph (b), shall remain exercisable for five
            years after the Date of Termination, but in no event later than the
            date fixed for expiration of the option (determined without regard
            to Executive's termination of employment).

    (vii)   The pension benefits described in paragraph 2(g) shall be vested as
            of the Date of Termination, provided that the Executive shall not
            accrue additional pension benefits for periods after the Date of
            Termination, and the retiree medical benefit described in the final
            sentence of paragraph 2(h) (relating to employee contributions)
            shall be determined as though the Executive had continued in the
            employ of the Company for the period continuing through the second
            anniversary of the Date of Termination.

    (viii)  The Executive shall be entitled to any additional benefits that
            would have been provided to him pursuant to paragraph 2(k),
            determined as though he had continued to be employed by the Company
            for the period continuing through the second anniversary of the
            Date of Termination; provided that this paragraph (viii) shall not
            apply to stock options, security protection, vacation, perquisites,
            expense reimbursement, or any benefits that are subject to the
            foregoing provisions of paragraphs 4(b)(i) through 4(b)(vii).

     Payments and benefits due under this paragraph 4(b) shall be subject to
     the following:

     (I)    Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 4(b)(I),
            benefits to be provided under the foregoing provisions of this
            paragraph 4(b) shall be provided at the time they would have been
            provided if the Executive continued to be employed by the Company;
            provided, however, that the amounts payable in accordance with
            paragraphs 4(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be distributed to the
            Executive, within 10 business days following the Date of

<PAGE>
            Termination, in a lump sum payment, with no actuarial or present 
            value reduction for accelerated payment.

     (II)   To the extent that benefits distributable under this paragraph 4(b)
            would be distributable in Company Stock, or the amount of such
            benefit would be based on the value of Company stock, the Company
            may satisfy its obligation under this paragraph 4(b) by providing a
            cash payment equal to the value of the benefit.  Except as
            otherwise provided in this paragraph (II), to the extent that the
            Company determines that the Executive cannot participate in any
            benefit plan because he is not actively performing services for the
            Company, the Company may satisfy its obligation under this
            paragraph 4(b) by distributing cash to the Executive equal to the
            cost that would be incurred by the Executive to replace the
            benefit.

(c)  Indemnification.  For a period of six years after his Date of Termination,
     the Executive shall be entitled to coverage under any directors and
     officers liability insurance policy, indemnification by-law and
     indemnification agreement maintained or offered by the Company or any
     successor to the Company during that period to directors and officers.
     This paragraph (c) shall not apply if the Executive's Date of Termination
     occurs during the Agreement Term under circumstances described in
     paragraph 3(c) (relating to the Executive's termination for Cause).

(d)  Other Obligations.  In addition to the foregoing payments and benefits,
     the Executive shall be entitled to any other payments or benefits due to
     be provided to the Executive pursuant to any employee compensation or
     benefit plans or arrangements, to the extent such payments and benefits
     are earned as of the Date of Termination.  Except as otherwise
     specifically provided in this paragraph 4, the Company shall have no
     obligation to make any other payments or provide any other benefits under
     the Agreement for periods after the Executive's Date of Termination.

(e)  No Participation in Severance Plans.  Except as may be otherwise
     specifically provided in an amendment of this paragraph (e) adopted in
     accordance with paragraph 11, payments under this paragraph 4 shall be in
     lieu of any compensation or benefits that may be otherwise payable to or
     on behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms of any severance pay
     arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate or any other, similar
     arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate providing benefits upon
     involuntary termination of employment.

    5. Change in Control Rules.  The following shall apply with respect to a
change in control of the Company:

(a)  The terms of stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based
     compensation awarded to the Executive under this Agreement shall include
     change in control protections (described below).  For purposes of this
     paragraph (a), "change in control protections" means the protections
     relating to a change in control (as defined in the 1991 Plan, or a
     successor plan) that are provided for comparable awards to officers under
     the 1991 Plan (or successor plan) at the time such awards are made
     pursuant to this Agreement (or, if no comparable awards are then made
     under the plan, at the next previous time such awards are made under the
     plan).

(b)  Upon the request of the Executive made at any time after there has been a
     Change in Control of the Company, the Company shall do any one or more of
     the following as requested:

     (i)    Pay to the Executive any cash and stock deferred in accordance with
            paragraph 2(n) of this Agreement.

    (ii)    Pay to the Executive (or his beneficiary after his death, if the
            Executive so provides by a writing filed with the Secretary of the
            Company and the beneficiary so requests), the actuarial equivalence
            of the Executive's accrued benefit under the Company's supplemental
            pension plan.  Actuarial equivalence shall be determined on the
            basis of the rates, tables, and factors then in effect for purposes
            of determining the actuarial equivalence of optional forms of
            payment under the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, or
            any successor plans (the "Pension Plans"); provided, however, that
            the interest rate or rates which would be used as of the date of
            Change in Control of the Company by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
            Corporation (the "PBGC") for purposes of determining the present
            value of the Executive's benefits under the Pension Plans if the
            Pension Plans had terminated on the date of Change in Control with
            insufficient assets to provide benefits guaranteed by the PBGC on
            that date shall be substituted for the interest assumptions used
            under the Pension Plans.

(c)  "Change in Control" means a change in the beneficial ownership of the
     Company's voting stock or a change in the composition of the Board which
     occurs as follows: (A) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections
     13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than
<PAGE>

a trustee or other fiduciary of securities held under an employee benefit plan
of the Company or its subsidiaries, is or becomes beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of stock of the Company representing 30% or more of the total
voting power of the Company's then outstanding stock, (B) a tender offer (for
which a filing has been made with the SEC which purports to comply with the
requirements of Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
corresponding SEC rules) is made for the stock of the Company, which has not
been negotiated and approved by the Board, then the first to occur of (i) any
time during the offer when the person (using the definition in (A) above)
making the offer owns or has accepted for payment stock of the Company with 25%
or more of the total voting power of the Company's stock or (ii) three business
days before the offer is to terminate unless the offer is withdrawn first if
the person making the offer could own, by the terms of the offer plus any
shares owned by that person, shares with 50% or more of the total voting power
of the Company's shares when the offer terminates; or (C) individuals who were
the Board's nominees for election as directors of the Company immediately prior
to a meeting of the stockholders of the Company involving a contest for the
election of directors shall not constitutes a majority of the Board following
the election.

   6.  Noncompetition.  For the period beginning on the Effective Date and
ending two years after the Executive's Date of Termination (regardless of the
reason for the termination of employment), (a) the Executive shall not directly
or indirectly be employed or retained by, or render any services for, or be
financially interested in any manner, in any person, firm or corporation
engaged in any business which is then materially competitive in any way with
any business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates was engaged
(including any program of development or research) during the Executive's
employment, (b) the Executive shall not divert or attempt to divert any
business from the Company or any Affiliate, and (c) the Executive shall not
disturb or attempt to disturb any business or employment relationships of the
Company or any Affiliate.

    7. Confidential Information.  The Executive agrees that:

(a)  Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of
     competent jurisdiction, or except to the extent that the Executive has
     express written authorization from the Company, he agrees to keep secret
     and confidential all Confidential Information (as defined below), and not
     disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person,
     firm, or business entity, or to use it in any way.  The Executive agrees
     that, to the extent that any court or agency seeks to have the Executive
     disclose Confidential Information, he shall promptly inform the Company,

<PAGE>
and he shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential
Information until the Company (or, if applicable, the Affiliate) has been
informed of such requested disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to
respond to such court or agency.  To the extent that the Executive obtains
information on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate that may be subject to
attorney-client privilege as to the Company's or an Affiliate's attorneys, the
Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such
information and to preserve such privilege.

(b)  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" means
     all non-public information concerning the Company and any Affiliate that
     was acquired by or disclosed to the Executive during the course of his
     employment with the Company, or during discussions between the Executive
     and the Company or any Affiliate following his termination of employment
     arising out of his employment or this Agreement, including, without
     limitation:

    (i)     all "trade secrets" as that term is used in the Illinois Trade
            Secrets Act (or, if that Act is repealed, the Uniform Trade Secrets
            Act upon which the Illinois Trade Secrets Act is based) of the
            Company or any Affiliate;

    (ii)    any non-public information regarding the Company's or the
            Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, customers, equipment,
            processes, costs, operations and methods, whether past, current or
            planned, as well as knowledge and data relating to business plans,
            marketing and sales information originated, owned, controlled or
            possessed by the Company or an Affiliate; and

    (iii)   information regarding litigation and threatened litigation
            involving or affecting the Company or an Affiliate.

(c)  This paragraph 7 shall not be construed to unreasonably restrict the
     Executive's ability to disclose confidential information in an arbitration
     proceeding or a court proceeding in connection with the assertion of, or
     defense against any claim of breach of this Agreement in accordance with
     paragraph 9 or paragraph 19.  If there is a dispute between the Company
     and the Executive as to whether information may be disclosed in accordance
     with this paragraph (c), the matter shall be submitted to the arbitrators
     or the court (whichever is applicable) for decision.

<PAGE>

   8.  Defense of Claims.  The Executive agrees that, for the period beginning
on the Effective Date, and continuing for a reasonable period after the
Executive's Date of Termination, the Executive will cooperate with the Company
and the Affiliates in defense of any claims that may be made against the
Company or an Affiliate, and will cooperate with the Company and the Affiliates
in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or an
Affiliate, to the extent that such claims may relate to services performed by
the Executive for the Company or the Affiliates.  The Executive agrees to
promptly inform the Company if he becomes aware of any lawsuits involving such
claims that may be filed against the Company or any Affiliate.  The Company
agrees to reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive's reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses associated with such cooperation, including travel
expenses.  For periods after the Executive's Date of Termination, the Company
agrees to provide reasonable compensation to the Executive for such
cooperation.  The Executive also agrees to promptly inform the Company if he is
asked to assist in any investigation of the Company or an Affiliate (or their
actions) that may relate to services performed by the Executive for the Company
or an Affiliate, regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against
the Company or an Affiliate with respect to such investigation.

   9.  Equitable Remedies.  The Executive acknowledges that the Company would
be irreparably injured by a violation of paragraph 6 or 7, and he agrees that
the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it for such breach
or threatened breach, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary
restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining the Executive from
any actual or threatened breach of paragraph 6 or 7.

   10. Nonalienation.  The interests of the Executive under this Agreement are
not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the
Executive or the Executive's beneficiary.

   11. Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or cancelled only by mutual
agreement of the parties in writing without the consent of any other person.
So long as the Executive lives, no person, other than the parties hereto, shall
have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or the subject matter
hereof.

   12. Applicable Law.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the
conflict of law provisions of any state.

   13. Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other

<PAGE>

provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such
invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted (but only to the extent that
such provision cannot be appropriately reformed or modified).

   14. Waiver of Breach.  No waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by any other party, or of compliance with any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party,
will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other
party or any similar or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the same or any
prior or subsequent time.  The failure of any party hereto to take any action
by reason of such breach will not deprive such party of the right to take
action at any time while such breach continues.

   15. Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon any person
acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise,
all or substantially all of the Company's assets and business.

   16. Notices. Notices and all other communications provided for in this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or
sent by facsimile or prepaid overnight courier to the parties at the addresses
set forth below (or such other addresses as shall be specified by the parties
by like notice).  Such notices, demands, claims and other communications shall
be deemed given:

(a)  in the case of delivery by overnight service with guaranteed next day
     delivery, the next day or the day designated for delivery;

(b)  in the case of certified or registered U.S. mail, five days after deposit
     in the U.S. mail; or

(c)  in the case of facsimile, the date upon which the transmitting party
     received confirmation of receipt by facsimile, telephone or otherwise;

provided, however, that in no event shall any such communications be deemed to
be given later than the date they are actually received.  Communications that
are to be delivered by the U.S. mail or by overnight service are to be
delivered to the addresses set forth below:

<PAGE>

to the Company:

     Brunswick Corporation
     1 N. Field Court
     Lake Forest, IL 60045-4811

or to the Executive:

     Peter N. Larson
     23 Hodge Road
     Princeton, NJ 08540

All notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of Secretary of
the Company, with a copy to the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the
Board.  Each party, by written notice furnished to the other party, may modify
the applicable delivery address, except that notice of change of address shall
be effective only upon receipt.

   17. Survival of Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall
survive the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company and all
Affiliates.

   18. Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise noted herein, this Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, if any,
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

   19. Resolution of Disputes.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by
arbitration in the City of Chicago in accordance with the laws of the State of
Illinois by three arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by the Company,
one by the Executive, and the third by the other two.  If the other two
arbitrators cannot agree on the appointment of a third arbitrator, or if either
party fails to appoint an arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be appointed
by the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association, except with respect to the selection of
arbitrators which shall be a provided in this paragraph 19.  Judgement upon the
award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.  In the event that it shall be necessary or desirable for
the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses in
connection with the enforcement of any or all of his rights under this
Agreement, he shall be entitled to recover from the Company reasonable
attorney's fees and costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with the
enforcement of those rights.  Payments shall be made to the Executive by the

<PAGE>

Company at the time these attorney's fees and costs and expenses are incurred
by the Executive.  If, however, the arbitrators should later determine that
under the circumstances it was unjust for the Company to have made any of these
payments or attorney's fees and costs and expenses to the Executive, he shall
repay them to the Company in accordance with the order of the arbitrators.  Any
award of the arbitrators shall include interest at a rate or rates considered
just under the circumstances by the arbitrators.  This paragraph 19 shall not
be construed to limit the Company's right to obtain relief under paragraph 9
with respect to any matter or controversy subject to paragraph 9, and, pending
a final determination by the arbitrator with respect to any such matter or
controversy, the Company shall be entitled to obtain any such relief by direct
application to a court of law, without being required to first arbitrate such
matter or controversy.

     In Witness Thereof, the Executive has hereunto set his hand, and the
Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf,
and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, all as of the Effective Date.
