         This Consent, dated as of April 19, 1999, is from Paul Fireman
("Employee") to Reebok International Ltd. ("Reebok").

         On February 23, 1999, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Reebok adopted an amendment to the Reebok Supplemental Executive

Participants in the SERP would forfeit their benefits under the SERP.

         Employee is a Participant under the SERP and Reebok has requested that

Option and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Employee consents and agrees to amend the SERP by
adding a new clause 4(f) as set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto and agrees that, with
respect to Employee's participation in the SERP, Employee shall be bound by the
SERP as amended and that his rights to benefits under the SERP shall in all
respects be governed by the amended SERP.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employee has executed this Consent as of the date
first written above.

                                                      Paul Fireman


                                                                      EXHIBIT 1

SECTION 4.

         (F) FORFEITURE OF BENEFIT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, a Participant shall cease participation in this Plan and such Participant
(and his/her spouse) shall forfeit his/her entire benefits under this Plan upon
the occurrence of any of the following events:

                  (1)      The Participant voluntarily terminates his/her
                           employment with Employer prior to attaining age 65
                           and following his/her termination of employment with
                           Employer, but prior to attaining age 65, the
                           Participant provides services as an employee,
                           consultant, or otherwise for any person or entity
                           other than Employer for remuneration ("Outside
                           Services"). For purposes of this clause, the
                           determination of what constitutes Outside Services
                           shall be made by Employer, in its sole judgment and
                           discretion, taking into account whatever factors
                           Employer deems necessary or appropriate; PROVIDED,
                           that Participant shall not be deemed to be providing
                           Outside Services, if Participant is engaged in
                           teaching, government or public service, or service as
                           a corporate director, or the Participant works fewer
                           than 25 hours per week either as a consultant or as
                           an employee of a non-profit company, or if
                           Participant is employed by a public accounting firm.
                           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all of the
                           following conditions are satisfied, then this
                           provision relating to the forfeiture of benefits
                           shall not apply: (1) if a Participant has entered
                           into a Change in Control Agreement with Employer, (2)
                           such Participant voluntarily terminates employment
                           following a Change of Control (as defined in such
                           agreement), and (3) such termination results in the
                           payment of benefits under the Change of Control
                           Agreement.

                  (2)      The Participant's employment with Employer is
                           terminated by Employer for "cause", as determined by
                           Employer in its reasonable judgment and discretion.

                  (3)      At any time the Participant, directly or indirectly,
                           owns, manages, operates, controls, is employed by or
                           acts as an officer, director or consultant for, any
                           footwear or apparel company (a "Competitive
                           Activity") unless Employer consents in advance in
                           writing to such Competitive Activity.

         In order to administer the restrictions set forth above, each
Participant who is no longer employed by Employer shall be required to certify
to Employer on an annual basis (1) if the Participant voluntarily terminated
his/her employment, that the Participant is not providing Outside Services and
(2) that the Participant is not engaged in any Competitive Activity. Participant
shall also provide Employer with such additional information regarding his/her
activities as Employer may request in order to confirm compliance with the
restrictions set forth above.
