Second Amendment to Employment Agreement between Gander Mountain Company and Dennis M. Lindahl
This amendment modifies the employment agreement between Dennis M. Lindahl and Gander Mountain Company. It extends the deadline for Mr. Lindahl to voluntarily resign and still receive severance pay, provided he resigns by September 14, 2007, and no grounds for termination for cause exist. Severance will be reduced by any compensation received for work performed after July 24, 2007. The amendment also requires Mr. Lindahl to sign a release of claims for the changes to take effect. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged.

Re: Second Amendment to Employment Agreement
Dear Dennis:
This letter sets forth our agreement to modify the terms of your current employment agreement (the Employment Agreement), entered into March 1, 2006 and amended January 24, 2007, between yourself (Executive) and Gander Mountain Company (the Company).
1. Section 9(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the following text:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9(a) of this Agreement above, if (x) Executive voluntarily resigns his employment with the Company effective on or before July 23, 2007, and (y) as of the effective date of such resignation by Executive no circumstances exist that would constitute Cause (as defined below), then the Company shall, subject to Sections 9(j) and 9(k) of this Agreement and in addition to any base salary earned through the Termination Date and any Annual Incentive Bonus earned but unpaid for the completed fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, pay to Executive severance pay in such amounts set forth in Sections 9(b)(i) and 9(b)(ii) above.
and replacing it with the following text:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9(a) of this Agreement above, if (x) Executive voluntarily resigns his employment with the Company effective on or before September 14, 2007, and (y) as of the effective date of such resignation by Executive no circumstances exist that would constitute Cause (as defined below), then the Company shall, subject to Sections 9(j) and 9(k) of this Agreement and in addition to any base salary earned through the Termination Date and any Annual Incentive Bonus earned but unpaid for the completed fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, pay to Executive severance pay in such amounts set forth in Sections 9(b)(i) and 9(b)(ii) above less all amounts received for work performed between July 24, 2007 and the Termination Date.
2. Section 12 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following text at the end of the section:
The parties agree that simultaneously with the execution of this letter by Executive, Executive shall sign a release of claims in the form attached to this letter (the Release). In the event that Executive does not sign the Release or rescinds the Release as provided therein, this letter agreement shall have no effect and the Employment Agreement will continue in accordance with its terms without the effect of this letter.
3. Other than as expressly amended by this letter, the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as so amended.
We thank you for your continued contribution to the Company.
