                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                           -------------------------

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of February
21, 2001, by and between Gart Sports Company, a Delaware corporation ("Gart"),
and the individual reflected on the signature page hereto ("Indemnified Party").

     WHEREAS, Gart and its wholly owned subsidiary GSC Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("MergerSub"), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the
"Merger Agreement") which provides, among other things, for the merger of Oshman
Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with and into
MergerSub, with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation (the "Merger") in
exchange for cash and Gart common stock;

     WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Gart and MergerSub have
required that Indemnified Party enter into an agreement with respect to
Indemnified Party's shares of common stock to vote to approve the Merger and the
Merger Agreement pursuant to that certain Voting Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the "Voting Agreement");

     WHEREAS, Indemnified Party has concluded that the Merger is in Indemnified
Party's best interests as a shareholder of the Company but recognizes that
litigation is common in the merger of public companies and, for this reason, is
not willing to execute the Voting Agreement without full indemnification;

     WHEREAS, Gart and its board of directors (the "Board") have concluded that
Gart will receive a direct and indirect benefit from executing this Agreement
because the Indemnified Party will execute the Voting Agreement and vote to
approve the Merger;

     WHEREAS, Gart has agreed to execute this Agreement to induce Indemnified
Party to execute the Voting Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Gart has agreed to indemnify Indemnified Party on the terms set
out herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual agreements made herein, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   Indemnification.  GART SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS
          ---------------
INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S HEIRS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES,
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (HEREINAFTER THE TERM "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" AND
"INDEMNIFIED PARTIES" SHALL INCLUDE INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S HEIRS, LEGAL
REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS,
ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, CAUSES OF ACTION, OR DEMANDS BROUGHT BY ANY PERSON,
ENTITY, OR AGENCY (THE "CLAIMS") GIVING RISE TO ANY ASSESSMENTS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF
ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES AT THE TIME THEY
ARE INCURRED

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

(THE "DAMAGES"), THAT ARE INCURRED BY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY REASON OF OR
RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE VOTING AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY
INDEMNIFIED PARTY RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE VOTING
AGREEMENT, OR THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

     THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION OF INDEMNIFIED
PARTY AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION SHALL INCLUDE A RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION
WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIMS ARE BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S
NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS.

     2.   Procedure for Indemnification.  Promptly after receipt by Indemnified
          -----------------------------
Party of notice of the commencement of any Claim, such Indemnified Party shall
give written notice to Gart of the existence of the Claim, but the failure so to
notify Gart shall not relieve Gart of any liability that it may have to
Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent of any actual, material
prejudice caused by such failure.  Upon receiving notice of the existence of any
Claim, Gart shall be entitled to participate in defense of such Claim at its
sole expense and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof
at its sole expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Party.
If Gart elects not to assume or fails to assume the defense of the Claim,
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the Claim with
counsel of its own choice at the sole expense of Gart.  If the Claim is asserted
against both Gart and Indemnified Party and if there is a conflict of interests
which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both Gart and
Indemnified Party, Gart shall be responsible for paying for separate counsel for
Indemnified Party.  If there is a conflict of interests among more than one
Indemnified Party which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to
represent all of the Indemnified Parties, Gart shall be responsible for paying
for separate counsel for each of the Indemnified Parties.

     3.   Settlement of Claim.  If Gart elects to assume the defense of a Claim,
          -------------------
(a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by Gart without the
written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of Indemnified Party
unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by
Gart, and (b) Gart shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or
settlement thereof effected by Indemnified Party without Gart's written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If Gart does not elect to assume
the defense of a Claim, (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected
by Indemnified Party without Gart's written consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and (b) Indemnified Party shall not be bound by any
compromise or settlement thereof effected by Gart if such Indemnified Party is
advised by counsel that the settlement is not in best interest of Indemnified
Party.

     4.   Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness.  To the extent Indemnified
          -----------------------------------------
Party is a witness in any Claim to which Indemnified Party is not party that
involves this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other
subject matter relating to any of the aforementioned agreements or the Merger,
Indemnified Party shall be indemnified against all expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnified Party or on such Indemnified Party's behalf
in connection therewith.

     5.   Payment of Expenses.  Indemnified Party shall submit periodic notices
          -------------------
to Gart in reasonable detail of such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

expenses, relating to any Claim, and Gart shall reimburse such Indemnified Party
within 10 business days of date of such notice.

     6.   Contribution.  To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law,
          ------------
if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to
Indemnified Party for any reason whatsoever, Gart, in lieu of indemnifying
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to such Indemnified Party an amount equal to
Gart's Proportion, as defined below, of the total Damages incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim relating to an indemnifiable
event under this Agreement.  The term "Gart's Proportion" shall mean the
quotient equal to (i) the total value of the consideration given in the Merger
by Gart to the shareholders of the Company, including cash and securities, minus
the value received by Indemnified Party divided by (ii) the total value of the
consideration given in the Merger by Gart to the shareholders of the Company,
including cash and securities.  The parties agree that this calculation of the
contribution required under this section, if indemnification is not available,
is fair and reasonable based on the relative benefit received by Indemnified
Party in the Merger.

     7.   Representations and Warranties of Gart.  Gart hereby represents and
          --------------------------------------
warrants to Indemnified Party as follows:

     (a)  Gart has full corporate power and corporate authority to execute,
deliver, and perform this Agreement and to fulfill the obligations stated

delivered by Gart and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of
Gart, enforceable against Gart in accordance with its terms, except that such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and (ii) equitable principles which may limit the availability of
certain equitable remedies (such as specific performance) in certain instances.

     (b)  The execution, delivery, and performance by Gart of this Agreement
does not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Gart, (ii) violate any applicable
state or federal law binding upon Gart, or (iii) violate any agreement or
obligation of Gart which could result in the invalidation of this Agreement as
an ultra vires act of Gart.

     8.   Legal Opinion.  Prior to the execution hereof, Gart has caused its
          -------------
legal counsel to deliver to Indemnified Party a legal opinion in a form
satisfactory to the legal counsel for such Indemnified Party which opines as to
the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.

     9.   Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
          ------------
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a)
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this
Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law, (b) such provision or provisions shall be
deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give
the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto, and (c) to the fullest
extent

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each
portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested
therein.

     10.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each
          ----------------------
party hereto and its respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.  The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, Gart shall not
assign this Agreement without the written consent of Indemnified Party.

     11.  Choice of Law.  This Agreement and the rights, obligations and
          -------------
liabilities of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed, determined

7.1 The Employee may be granted stock  options in the Shares of the  Corporation
from  time to time,  at the sole  discretion  of the Board of  Directors  of the
Corporation.  Any stock options  granted to the Employee shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the  Corporation's  stock option plan, as may be amended
by the  Corporation at its sole  discretion from time to time, and the terms and
conditions  of any  applicable  stock option  agreement.  Any stock option grant
awarded  to  the  Employee,  together  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of the
Corporation's  Stock  Option  Plan  shall be  attached  to this  Agreement  when
granted, as Schedule "D".

<PAGE>

7.2 The stock  options  that the  Employee  has been granted as set forth in the
Option  Agreements  attached hereto as Schedule "D" which have not vested on the
date the notice of the  termination of employment of the Employee is given under
article  9.1  (a)  or  article  10.2  of  this  Agreement,  shall  forthwith  be
accelerated. These accelerated options which will then be vested, as well as any
then vested  options which have not yet been  exercised,  will be exercisable up
until the end of the time for  exercising  options as set out under the original
Option  Agreement under which they were granted as if the Employee's  employment
and/or office  continued for the 30 days notice  required under article 10.1 and
the severance  period  applicable  under the provisions of article 9 (a) (i) for
the  calculation of the retiring  allowance.  In the event the stock option plan
under which the option agreements were granted needs to be amended,  to put into
effect the provisions of this article 7.2, then the Corporation agrees that on a
best  efforts  basis  it will  make  applications  to the  necessary  regulatory
authorities  and stock  exchanges  to obtain the  amendment of said stock option
plan. In the event that for any reason the Corporation is not able to obtain the
consent of the regulatory authorities and stock exchange to the amendment of the
stock  option  plan as may be required  by this  article 7.2 , then  Corporation
agrees to  compensate  the  Employee on the basis that the stock  options  shall
notionally  continue to exist for exercise  under the provisions of this article
7.2 and Employee will still be notionally entitled to exercise his stock options
as provided  for in this  article 7.2 , but instead of the  Corporation  issuing
shares in the name of the Employee on the  exercise of the option,  it shall pay
cash  compensation  to the Employee  equivalent  to the  difference  between the
option  price of the  share  option  notionally  exercised  and the value of the
shares of the Corporation as traded on the market at the close of trading on the
day the notice of notional  exercise of the option is given to the  Corporation.
All future share options agreements that shall be granted to the Employee by the
Corporation  shall be deemed to have been attached and form part of Schedule "D"
and will be deemed to be subject to the terms of this article 7.2.

                                  Article VIII

entitled  to an annual  vacation  of 5 weeks.  Effective  January 1,  2005,  the
Employee shall be entitled to an annual vacation of 6 weeks.

engaged or concerned or interested in any business  which is in  competition  to

described  above in sub-  paragraph 13.1 or any other interest which might be in
conflict with his obligations to Corporation,  whether that conflict be apparent
or real,  Employee shall in writing  disclose that interest to the the Board who
shall then be  requested  to obtain and provide a legal  opinion to the Employee
and  Corporation  as to  whether  or not the  interest  declared  constitutes  a
conflict of interest.  During the period of time prior to the  provision of said
legal opinion,  Employee  shall be entitled to continue to fully  participate in
his duties as  described  hereunder  with the proviso that in the event that any
matter relating to the declared conflict of interest arises,  the Employee shall
recuse himself from any discussion in respect to that matter. The Employee shall
provide a report in  writing  on a weekly  basis  until  the  legal  opinion  is
received,  of  situations  in  which a  recusal  has  taken  place  as  required
hereunder.   Once  the  legal  opinion  has  been  received  together  with  any
recommendations  in respect to the  declared or apparent  conflict of  interest,
Employee and the Board of Directors of the Corporation will conclude forthwith a
mutually  acceptable  arrangement to ensure that any concerns that are raised by
the legal  opinion  in  respect  to this  matter  are dealt  with on a  mutually
satisfactory  basis.  Effective  as of the  effective  date of  this  Employment
Agreement,  namely April 1, 2001, Employee declares that he knows of no conflict
of interest or apparent  conflict of interest  that would be in violation of the
provisions of Article 13.1,  save those listed in Schedule "G" which is attached
hereto,  which  declared  conflicts of interest  are waived by the  Corporation,
subject to the  requirement of the Employee to comply with the  requirements  of
Article  13.2 of this  Agreement  in the event that such  declared  conflicts of
interest  in the  course of the duties  performed  by the  employees  under this
Agreement create an actual or potential conflict of interest, then in which case
the requirements of Article 13.2 shall apply.
