On May 29, 2009, Brunswick Corporation (the "Company") entered into the Business Financing Agreement (the "Agreement") with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation ("GECDF"). The Agreement, an asset based lending facility that totals $100 million, replaces the existing accounts receivable sale program the Company had with Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC ("BAC"), the financing joint venture between Brunswick Financial Services Corporation, a Brunswick subsidiary, and CDF Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation. The Agreement is secured by the domestic accounts receivable of Mercury Marine, a division of the Company, which were previously sold to BAC under the receivables sale program.

The Agreement includes provisions, among other things, that:

• increase the size of the facility to $120 million from May to August to accommodate seasonal increases in accounts receivable balances;

• subject borrowings under the Agreement to a borrowing base, consisting of Mercury Marine domestic receivables, adjusted for eligibility requirements, with an 85% advance rate;

• include an over-advance feature that allows for borrowings of up to $21.5 million in excess of the borrowing base, which over-advance amount will decline over twelve months on a straight line basis beginning in December 2009;

• limit borrowings under the Agreement to the lesser of either the total amount of the facility, including seasonal increases, or the total Mercury Marine receivables, excluding certain accounts, pledged as collateral against the Agreement;

• establish a borrowing rate, set at the beginning of each month, equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 4.25%, provided, however, that the one-month LIBOR rate shall not be less than 1.0%;

• establish a financial covenant (the "Financial Covenant"), which corresponds to the minimum fixed charge covenant included in the BAC joint venture agreement with GECDF and the Company's revolving credit facility, that is triggered only when the Company's available, unused borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility falls below $60 million; and

• set the term of the ABL facility to expire concurrently with the termination of the financing joint venture agreement; by the Company upon 90 days notice; or by GECDF upon the Company's default under the Agreement, including failure to comply with the Financial Covenant.

The description of the Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
