9.75% Senior Notes due 2013
1. General
Brunswick Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the Company, which term shall include any successor corporation as defined in the Indenture referred to on the reverse side hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000) on August 15, 2013 (if such date is not a Business Day, payment of principal on this Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be paid on the next Business Day, provided, however, that no interest on that payment will accrue from and after August 15, 2013 at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee (as defined below), or at an office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, or in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest, semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning February 15, 2009, on said principal sum in like coin or currency, at the rate per annum specified in the title of this Note, from the next preceding date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from August 15, 2008 until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for.
2. Interest
The interest so payable on any February 15 or August 15 will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding such February 15 or August 15 (whether or not such February 1 or August 1 is a Business Day) at the principal executive offices of the Company and at its offices or agencies in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois and the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, except that interest may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the registered address of such person.
3. Indenture
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the Securities), issued and to be issued in one or more series under that certain Indenture, dated as of March 15, 1987 (herein called the Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (herein called the Trustee, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Securities designated on the first page hereof (the Securities of such series being herein called the Notes).
4. Interest Rate Adjustment
The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either of the Interest Rate Rating Agencies (as defined below) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the rating assigned to the Notes, as set forth below.
If the rating of the Notes from either Interest Rate Rating Agency is decreased to a rating set forth in any of the following tables with respect to that Interest Rate Rating Agency, the annual interest rate on the Notes will increase from the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note by an amount equal to the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
Moodys Rating* | Percentage | ||
Ba2 | 0.25 | % | |
Ba3 | 0.50 | % | |
B1 | 0.75 | % | |
B2 or below | 1.00 | % | |
S&P Rating* | Percentage | ||
BB | 0.25 | % | |
BB- | 0.50 | % | |
B+ | 0.75 | % | |
B or below | 1.00 | % |
* | Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency |
If, at any time, the interest rate on the Notes has been adjusted upward as a result of a decrease in a rating by an Interest Rate Rating Agency and that Interest Rate Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the annual interest rate on the Notes will be decreased such that the annual interest rate equals the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note plus the percentage set forth opposite the rating in effect immediately following the increase in the table above; provided, that if Moodys (as defined below) or any Substitute Rating Agency (as defined below) subsequently increases its rating on the Notes to Ba1 (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher and S&P (as defined below) or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on the Notes to BB+ (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the annual interest rate on the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note.
2
No adjustment in the interest rate on the Notes shall be made solely as a result of an Interest Rate Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating. If at any time less than two Interest Rate Rating Agencies provide a rating on the Notes, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating on the Notes from another nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), to the extent one exists, and if another nationally recognized statistical rating organization rates the Notes (such organization, a Substitute Rating Agency), for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the annual interest rate on the Notes pursuant to the table above, (1) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last Interest Rate Rating Agency to provide a rating on the Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (2) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moodys and S&P in such table, and (3) the annual interest rate on the Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (2) above).
For so long as (1) only one Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on the Notes, any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by that Interest Rate Rating Agency shall be twice the applicable percentage set forth in the table above; and (2) no Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note. In no event will (1) the annual interest rate on the Notes be reduced below the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note; or (2) the annual interest on the Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate per annum specified in the title of this Note.
Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above by any Interest Rate Rating Agency shall be made independent of (and in addition to) any and all other adjustments by any other Interest Rate Rating Agency. Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect on the next Business Day following the date such rating change occurs.
The interest rates on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by any Interest Rate Rating Agency) if the Notes become rated Baa1 (or its equivalent) or higher by Moodys (or any Substitute Rating Agency) and BBB+ (or its equivalent) or higher by S&P (or any Substitute Rating Agency), or one of those ratings if rated by only one Interest Rate Rating Agency, in each case with a stable or positive outlook.
3
Promptly after any change in the interest rate on the Notes as provided above, the Company shall provide the Trustee with an Officers Certificate stating (1) the rating assigned to the Notes from each Interest Rate Rating Agency, (2) that the interest rate on the Notes has changed in accordance with this Section 4 and setting forth the amount of the related increase or decrease, (3) the new interest rate on the Notes, and (4) the date on which the new interest rate on the Notes shall take effect. The Company shall send a copy of any Officers Certificate required under this Section 4 to the Trustee via facsimile at (312)  ###-###-####. The Trustee by written notice to the Company may designate a different facsimile number for delivery of any Officers Certificate required under this Section 4. A facsimile to the Trustee under this Section 4 shall be deemed to have been delivered as of the date when receipt is acknowledged.
Interest Rate Rating Agency means each of Moodys and S&P or, in either case, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency.
Moodys means Moodys Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moodys Corporation, and its successors.
S&P means Standard & Poors Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Corporation, Inc., and its successors.
5. Optional Redemption
The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, or (2) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining principal amount and scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The redemption price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.
4
Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer means (1) each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or their affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a Primary Treasury Dealer), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) one other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date.
The Company shall mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. The notice of redemption to each holder will specify, among other items, the redemption price and the principal amount of the Notes held by the holder to be redeemed. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows: (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such national securities exchange; or (2) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note must state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. No Notes of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part.
6. Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described under Section 5, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase some or all of such holders Notes pursuant to the offer described below (a Change of Control Offer) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the Change of Control Payment), subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Companys option, prior to any Change of Control but after public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send a notice to each holder of the Notes by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control
5
Offer and will describe, among other things, the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and the purchase date. The purchase date will be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (a Change of Control Payment Date). If the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
Holders of Notes electing to have notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to (1) surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent on the address specified in the notice, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed; or (2) transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable, in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.
For purposes of this Section 6, the following definitions apply:
Capital Stock means the capital stock of every class whether now or hereafter authorized, regardless of whether such capital stock shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage with respect to the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends and in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such corporation.

Unless at least one Rating Agency is providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
