( “Burdale”), and as successor administrative agent for Lenders (Wells Fargo, in such capacity, the “Agent”), the financial institutions from time to time party to the Loan Agreement as lenders (the “Lenders”), and Winnebago Industries, Inc. (“Borrower”), and the other agreements, documents and instruments referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or related thereto (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the “Financing Agreements”). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

Borrower has requested that Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, permit the Borrower to redeem, in cash, the Borrower's Capital Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35,000,000, which Agent and Lenders are willing to do subject to the terms hereof.

In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Consent. By its signature hereinbelow, Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, hereby expressly acknowledges, confirms and agrees that in addition to any redemptions permitted under Section 7.7(a) of the Loan Agreement, so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Borrower shall be permitted to redeem, in cash, the Capital Stock of the Borrower, provided, that, the aggregate amount of such redemptions shall not exceed $35,000,000.

2.Condition Precedent. The consent set forth hereinabove shall not be effective unless and until Agent shall have received an original or .pdf copy of this letter agreement, duly executed by Borrower.

3.Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this letter agreement and any dispute arising hereunder, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York.

4.Binding Effect. This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

5.Entire Agreement.

6.Counterparts. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this letter agreement.
