Agreement (including, without limitation, all payment and benefit
obligations pursuant to the Employment Agreement, and all obligations
arising out of the termination of the Employment Agreement) are hereby
discharged; <U>provided</U>, <U>however</U>, that nothing in this Agreement
shall affect (x) any vested interest Executive may have in Galyan's Trading

heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and successors, and each of them,
acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of and releases and discharges
and covenants not to sue the Company, its subsidiaries, parent, and
affiliated companies, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and
their trustees, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, insurers, and
employees, past and present, and each of them, (together and each of them
collectively referred to as "Releasees") from and with respect to any and
all claims, wages, agreements, obligations, demands, and causes of action,
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or in any way
connected with Executive's employment relationship with the Company, the
termination of the Employment Agreement, Executive's termination from

any loss, damage, or injury whatever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of said
Releasees, or any of them, committed or omitted prior to the date of this
Agreement (collectively "Claims"). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the claims being released
include, but are not limited to, any claim under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Indiana

<B><U>Arbitration.</U></B> </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>(a) Any controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement,
arbitrability, or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or
misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, or arising out of or
relating in any way to Executive&#146;s employment or termination of the
same,<B> </B>including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
alleged violation of statute, common law, or public policy, shall be submitted
to final and binding arbitration, to be held in Hendricks<B>, </B>Indiana before
a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the
parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of
arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS. The
arbitrator shall issue a written opinion revealing, however briefly, the
essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator&#146;s award is
based. The Company will pay the arbitrator&#146;s fees and arbitration expenses
and any other costs associated with the arbitration hearing (recognizing that
each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert, and attorneys&#146; fees
and other expenses as and to the same extent as if the matter were being heard
in court). If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the
prevailing party attorneys&#146; fees and costs, then the arbitrator may award
reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party. Any dispute as to the
reasonableness of any fee or cost shall be resolved by the arbitrator. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>(b) Except as may be
necessary to enter judgment upon the award or to the extent required by
applicable law, all claims, defenses, and proceedings (including, without

fact that there is an arbitration proceeding) shall be treated in a confidential
manner by the arbitrator, the parties and their counsel, each of their agents,
and employees and all others acting on behalf of or in concert with them.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no one shall divulge to any
third party or person not directly involved in the arbitration the content of
the pleadings, papers, orders, hearings, trials, or awards in the arbitration,
except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon an award as required by
applicable law. </FONT></P>
