     2.  Definition of Territory.  For purposes hereof, the term "Territory"
         -----------------------                                            
means and refers to all of the following: (i) any county or counties in any
state in the United States; (ii) each of the 58 counties of the State of
California; (iii) each of the counties of each of the other states of the United
States of America; and (iv) worldwide, including without limitation, the
following foreign countries: all countries of European Community and Japan; in
which USG has done business.  For purposes hereof, the terms "doing business,"
"done business" and "does business" means and refers to any aspect of the
Company's Business, including, without limitation, sales, marketing,
distribution, receiving or taking orders, advertising, promoting, designing or

     3.  Definition of Company's Business.  For purposes hereof, the term
         --------------------------------                                
Company's Business means the design, manufacture, marketing, sales and
distribution of sports grips, including grips for golf clubs.

     4.  Covenant Consideration.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
         ----------------------                                                
no portion of the consideration payable to Ogilvie pursuant to the Merger
Agreement has been separately allocated to the covenants and obligations of
Ogilvie set forth in this Agreement.

     5.  Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief.  If Ogilvie breaches, or 
         ---------------------------------------   
threatens to breach, the noncompetition covenant described in Section 1 hereof,
the Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies
which it may have, to seek and obtain specific performance thereof and to enjoin
such breach or threatened breach. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the
Company, and that the Company could not be reasonably or adequately compensated
in damages at law. The equitable remedies provided herein are not exclusive of
any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

     6.  Interpretation and Enforceability.
         --------------------------------- 

         6.1  Severability of Covenants.  The parties hereto intend that
              -------------------------                           
the noncompetition covenant described in Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to be
a series of separate noncompetition covenants, one for each county and/or
governmental jurisdiction in which USG has done business. Except as provided in
the immediately preceding sentence, each such separate noncompetition covenant
shall be deemed identical in terms to each other noncompetition covenant
contained in Section 1 hereof. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall
refuse to enforce any of the separate noncompetition covenants deemed included
in Section 1, then such unenforceable noncompetition covenant(s) shall be

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
deemed eliminated from the provisions thereof for the purpose of such
proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate
noncompetition covenant(s) to be enforced in such proceedings.

          6.2  Blue-Pencilling.  If any court determines that any noncompetition
               ---------------                                                  
covenant included in Section 1 hereof, or any part thereof, is unenforceable
because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such
court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and,
in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be
enforced.

          6.3  Application of Other Law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
               ------------------------                                    
Section 1 hereof, if the noncompetition covenant included in Section 1 hereof,
as it relates to any Territory exclusive of the State of California (or any
county thereof), would not be enforceable under California law but would be
enforceable under the internal laws of that other jurisdiction, then such
noncompetition covenant, solely as it relates to such other jurisdiction, shall
be governed by, interpreted under and construed and enforced in accordance with
the internal laws of such local jurisdiction.

     7.  Cross Default Provision.  Any breach or default under the terms of this
         -----------------------                                                
Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach and default under the Merger Agreement
and any breach or default under the Merger Agreement shall be deemed to be a
breach and default hereunder.

     8.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications
         -------
