                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

     THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered as of the twelfth day
of November, 1997, by and between HORIZON GROUP, INC., a Michigan corporation
("HGI"), HORIZON/GLEN OUTLET CENTERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited
partnership ("H/G Partnership", together with HGI, "Horizon"), and Steve Moore
("Employee").

     WHEREAS, HGI is the sole general partner of H/G Partnership, and H/G
Partnership is a developer, owner and operator of manufacturer outlet centers
throughout the United States;

     WHEREAS, Employee is employed by Horizon;

     WHEREAS, Employee is willing from and after the Effective Date to continue
his employment with Horizon until the occurrence of a merger or consolidation
between Horizon and another person, the corporate reorganization of Horizon or
the acquisition of a majority or more of the assets of Horizon by another
person (a "Transaction"); and

     WHEREAS, Horizon wishes to be assured that it will continue to have the
benefit of Employee's expertise and experience from and after the date of this
Agreement until the closing of a Transaction (the "Effective Date").

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.    POSITION.  From and after the date of this Agreement, Employee
agrees to continue his employment with Horizon until the occurrence of a
Transaction in order to earn the additional compensation set forth herein.

     2.    COMPENSATION.  Provided that Employee continues his employment with
Horizon until the Effective Date,

           (a) Horizon shall pay Employee a bonus for agreeing to continue his
     employment with Horizon until the Effective Date in the amount of Two
     Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($236,250)
     which shall be paid on the Effective Date.  The payment of such bonus
     shall be made by Horizon by wire transfer in immediately available funds
     on the Effective Date to an account of Employee designated in writing to
     Horizon by Employee.

           (b) Horizon shall grant Employee options on the day
     immediately preceding the Effective Date to purchase 50,000 shares
     of HGI common stock under the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
     "Options").  The exercise price per share

     for the Options shall be the fair market value of such share on the last
     trading day immediately preceding the Effective Date and the Options shall
     be exercised on the terms and conditions set forth in the attached form
     of Option.  Such Options and any other Options granted under the 1997
     Stock Option Plan shall become the obligations of any surviving entity
     in a Transaction and the agreement(s) governing such Transaction shall
     provide that the Options will be converted into options to purchase common
     shares of the surviving entity of any Transaction on a fair and equitable
     basis.  All outstanding options heretofore granted to Employee under the
     1997 Stock Option Plan are hereby deemed to be amended in the attached
     form of Option.


     3.    EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS.  It is the intention and understanding of
the parties hereto that the rights and obligations of each party under the terms
and conditions of this Arrangement are in addition to any rights and
obligations of the parties under any employment arrangement between them,
including but not limited to that certain Letter Agreement dated June 12, 1997
between Horizon and Employee.  The terms of such employment arrangement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected in any manner by the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     4.    NOTICES.  Any notice to Horizon required or permitted under this
Agreement shall be given in writing to Horizon, either by personal service, by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission
with answer back confirmation, duly addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of
Horizon at its then principal place of business.  Any such notice to Employee
shall be given in a like manner and, if mailed, shall be addressed to Employee
at his/her address then shown in the files of Horizon.  For the purpose of
determining compliance with any time limit herein, a notice, if sent by mail,
shall be deemed given on the date it is deposited in the United States mail
plus three (3) days.

     5.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

           (a) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall be binding on
    Horizon and its successors and assigns.  The obligations of Horizon under
    this Agreement shall be assumed by any other corporation or other
    business entity (the "Successor") which succeeds to all or substantially
    all of the business of Horizon through merger, consolidation, corporate
    reorganization or by acquisition of all or a majority of the assets of
    Horizon.

           (b) SEVERABILITY.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is
   invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
   jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
   unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining
   terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
   enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any
   other


                                      2

      jurisdiction.  If any court of competent jurisdiction shall find
      any provision of this Agreement to be so broad as to be unenforceable,
      such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is
      enforceable.

           (c) GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
      construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan with
      regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.

           (d) WAIVER.  Waiver by any of the parties of any breach of any
      provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
      of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of
      this Agreement.

           (e) ATTORNEYS' FEES.  The prevailing party in any litigation
      instituted to enforce this Agreement shall, in addition to any other
      remedies, be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for all
      expenses of such litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees.  As
      used herein, "attorneys' fees" shall mean the full and actual costs of any
      legal services actually rendered in connection with the matters involved,
      calculated on the basis of the usual fee charged by the attorneys
      performing such services, and shall not be limited to "reasonable
      attorneys' fees" as defined by any statute or rule of court.

           (f) ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This instrument contains the entire agreement
      of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

           (g) COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
      counterparts, which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one
      original.
