     4.   TERMINATION: Employee's employment with Company during the Term may be
          -----------
terminated by Company under the circumstances described in this Paragraph 4, and
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5:

          (a) Cause: Company may immediately terminate Employee's employment for
Cause by giving written notice to Employee identifying in reasonable detail the
act or acts said to constitute "Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
shall mean that Company, acting reasonably and in good faith based upon the
information then known to Company, determines that Employee has engaged in or
committed: willful misconduct; gross negligence; theft, fraud or other illegal
conduct; any willful act that is likely to materially injure the reputation,
business or a business relationship of Company; refusal or unwillingness to
perform his duties or responsibilities under this Agreement in a satisfactory
manner or failure to comply with written policies and directives of Company, in
either case for thirty (30) days following specific written notice thereof;
Employee's death or Disability (as defined below); or material breach of any
term of this Agreement following specific notice thereof from Company. For
purposes of this Paragraph 4(a), "Disability" shall mean a physical or mental
impairment which substantially limits a major life activity of Employee and
which renders Employee unable to perform the essential functions of his
position, even with reasonable accommodation which does not impose an undue
hardship on Company. Company, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall have
the right to make the determination of disability under this Agreement.

          (b) Other than Cause:  Company may immediately terminate Employee's
employment for any reason other than Cause by giving ten (10) days written
notice to Employee.

          (c) Good Reason. Employee may terminate employment hereunder for "Good
Reason" by delivering to the Company (1) a Preliminary Notice of Good Reason (as
defined below), and (2) not earlier than thirty (30) days and not later than
three (3) months from the delivery of such Preliminary Notice of Good Reason, a
Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means, the
assignment (without the express written consent of Employee) to Employee of a
significantly lower position in the organization in terms of his responsibility,
authority and status, any significant reduction in Employee's authority or
status, or requiring Employee to perform services not commensurate with
Employee's ability,

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

experience and qualifications; requiring Employee (without his consent) to
relocate his primary work location more than 50 miles away from the current
principal office of the Company in Plainfield, Indiana, any reduction in the
Employee's base salary or bonus opportunity; or any material breach by the
Company of the terms of this Agreement; provided that "Good Reason" shall not
include (A) acts not taken in bad faith which are cured by the Company in all
respects not later than thirty (30) days from the receipt by the Company of a
written notice from the Employee identifying in reasonable detail the act or
acts constituting "Good Reason" (a "Preliminary Notice of Good Reason") or (b)
acts taken by the Company as a result of grounds for termination of employment
for Cause pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof. A Preliminary Notice of Good Reason
shall not, by itself, constitute a Notice of Termination.

     5.   OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION:
          ----------------------------

          (a) Cause: If Company terminates Employee for Cause at any time during
the Term, Employee (or his estate in the event of his death) will receive his
base salary and other compensation and benefits earned under this Agreement but
not yet paid or delivered to Employee as of the date of termination, including
retirement benefits accrued through the date of such termination and payable
under the terms of such plans, but excluding (except in the case of death or
disability) any bonus. In the event of disability or death, Employee (or his
estate) shall also receive a payment (at the time Company traditionally makes
such payment) equal to a pro-rata share of the annual bonus he would have earned
(as determined in a manner consistent with Paragraph 3(c) hereof) based on
Company's actual results for the fiscal year. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, Employee's pro-rata share shall be a fraction of the number of days in
the fiscal year, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the
fiscal year prior to Employee's death or disability and the denominator of which
shall be 365. Other than the amounts specified in this Paragraph 5(a), Employee,
as a result of a termination for Cause, will not be entitled to any severance
pay or any other compensation or benefits of any nature whatsoever, except as
may be payable under the terms of other plans or agreements in the event of
disability or death.

          (b) Other Than Cause: If Company terminates Employee for any reason
other than Cause at any time during the Term or if Employee terminates
employment for any Good Reason, Employee shall receive, subject to the
limitations set forth below, (i) his base salary and other compensation and
benefits earned under this Agreement but not yet paid or delivered to Employee
as of the date of his termination, including retirement benefits accrued through
the date of such termination and payable under the terms of such plans, (ii) the
Target Bonus, if any, for the applicable fiscal year in which the Employee is
terminated and (iii) severance pay constituting the continuation of his then-
current base salary, less standard income and payroll tax withholding and other
authorized deductions, plus continued health coverage and a payment equal to the
benefits that absent termination of employment would have accrued under the
Company's tax-qualified and non-qualified retirement plans (which benefits shall
be deemed fully vested), until the later of the date that is (x) the first
anniversary of the date of his termination and (y) the third anniversary of the
Effective Date.

          (c) Exclusive Remedy: Employee acknowledges that, other than the
payments described in this Paragraph 5, he shall have no other claims against,
and be entitled to no other

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

payments from, Company or its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates or related companies upon any termination or breach by Company of

employee, consultant or otherwise, any business in the United States primarily
engaged in the retail sporting goods or retail sports apparel business, nor will
he accept employment, consult for, or participate, directly or indirectly, in

any of its affiliates, or any person who supplies goods or services or licenses
intangible or tangible property to Company or any of its affiliates to

other instruments as Company may from time to time deem necessary or desirable
to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right,
title and interest in and to, any of the foregoing.

          (e) Return of Documents: Employee agrees that all documents of any
nature pertaining to activities of Company, its direct or indirect parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies, used, prepared, or made
available to Employee in the course of rendering his services to Company
hereunder, including the information or materials covered by Paragraphs 6(c) and
6(d) hereof, are and shall be the property of Company or, as the case may be,
its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related companies,
and that all copies of such documents shall be surrendered to Company whenever
requested by the Company.

          (f) Non-Competition Period:  "Non-Competition Period" means the period
beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is the later of (i)
the second anniversary of the date of termination of Employee's employment with
Company and (ii) three years from the Effective Date.

          (g) Enforcement:  Employee acknowledges that irreparable damage would
result to Company or its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or
related companies if the provisions of this Paragraph 6 are not specifically

     of the Improvements;

          (e) Receive and deposit in the Construction Loan Checking Account all

     the character of the Improvements, shall have given specific written

     5.3 Borrower covenants that the representations and warranties made by it

                                   Article VI

                               General Conditions

     6.1 The following conditions shall be applicable at all times during the
term of the Loan:

          (a) Any advance by Lender of Loan proceeds hereunder made prior to or
     without the fulfillment by Borrower of all of the conditions precedent
     thereto, whether or not known to Lender, shall not constitute a waiver by
     Lender of the requirement that all conditions, including the non-performed
     conditions, shall be required with respect to all future advances;

          (b) All documentation and proceedings deemed by Lender to be necessary
     or required in connection with this Agreement and the documents relating
     hereto shall be subject to the prior approval of, and satisfactory to,
     Lender as to form and substance. In addition, the persons or parties
     responsible for the execution and delivery of, and signatories to, all of
     such documentation, shall be acceptable to, and subject to the approval of,
     Lender;

          (c) If at any time Lender notifies Borrower that, in Lender's
     reasonable judgment, the undisbursed balance of the Loan (including
     contingency) is insufficient to pay the remaining Hard Costs and Soft
     Costs, Borrower shall either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to
     such deficiency which Lender may from time to time apply, or allow Borrower
     to apply, to such Hard Costs and Soft Costs; or (ii) pay for such Hard
     Costs and Soft Costs in the amount of such deficiency so that the amount of
     the Loan which remains to be disbursed shall be sufficient to complete the
     Improvements, and

                                       16
<PAGE>

     Borrower shall furnish Lender with such evidence thereof as Lender shall
     require. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and
     security interest in any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and
     that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the
     payment of the aforesaid Hard Costs and Soft Costs as approved by Lender.
     Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to
     Borrower when and to the extent that Lender determines that the amount
     thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the total remaining Hard Costs
     and Soft Costs of completion of the Improvements over the undisbursed
     balance of the Loan; provided, however, that should an Event of Default
     occur under the Note or Mortgage, Lender may, at its option, apply such
     amounts either to the costs of completion of the Improvements or to the
     immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the
     Note;

          (d) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note or
     Mortgage, Borrower does hereby irrevocably authorize Lender to advance any
     undisbursed Loan proceeds directly to the General Contractor,
     Subcontractors and other persons to pay for completion of the Improvements
     but Lender is under no obligation to do so. No further direction or
     authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct
     advances and all such advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of
     Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage as fully as if made
     to Borrower regardless of the disposition thereof by the General
     Contractor, any Subcontractor or other person;

          (e) All conditions of the obligation of Lender to make advances
     hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and
     may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by Lender at any time
     if in its sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so, and no person
     other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been
     satisfied) shall have standing to require Lender to make any Loan advances
     or to be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made
     hereunder. Any waiver or modification asserted by Borrower to have been
     agreed to by Lender must be in writing and comply with the provisions of
     subsection (h) of this Section;

          (f) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse proceeds
     of the Loan to pay: (i) interest accrued on the Note as it comes due; (ii)
     any and all commitment or loan fees; (iii) travel and inspection fees of
     Lender; (iv) fees and expenses of Lender's counsel; and (v) to satisfy any
     of the conditions of this Agreement; notwithstanding that Borrower may not
     have requested disbursement of such amounts and whether or not Borrower may
     be in default under the Note or Mortgage. Any such disbursements shall be
     added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall be secured
     by the Mortgage. The authorization granted hereby shall not prevent
     Borrower from paying interest, or satisfying said conditions, from its own
     funds and shall in no event be construed so as to relieve Borrower from its
     obligation to pay interest as and when due under the Note, or to satisfy
     said conditions, or to obligate Lender to disburse Loan proceeds for the
     payment of interest or the satisfaction of said conditions;

          (g) All notices to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if given in
     accordance with the provisions contained in Section 23 of the Mortgage;

                                       17
<PAGE>

          (h) No provisions of the Note, Mortgage, UCC-1 Financing Statements or
     this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, by
     telephone or by any other means except an instrument in writing signed by
     the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
     termination is sought;

          (i) Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon
     and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs,
     personal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, which
     consent may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion, may not assign,
     transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any part of
     its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including, without
     limitation, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof and the
     right to receive the proceeds of current or future advances; (j) Borrower
     acknowledges that Borrower has selected or will select all architects,
     engineers, contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and others furnishing
     services or materials for the Improvements and that Lender shall have no
     responsibility whatsoever for them or for any inspection reports or for the
     quality of their materials or workmanship. It is understood that Lender's
     sole function is that of lender and that the only consideration passing
     from Lender to Borrower are the Loan proceeds in accordance with and
     subject to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right to
     rely on any procedures required by Lender herein, such procedures being
     solely for the benefit and protection of Lender; and

          (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
     by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
     executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
     counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
     signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
     attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically
     attached to the same document.

     6.2 The cover page and the Exhibits annexed hereto are incorporated as a
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

     Pending disbursement of the full proceeds of the loan secured by the
mortgage set forth under Schedule A hereof, this policy insures only to the

performed or to be performed or of machinery, material or fuel furnished or to
be furnished, said mortgage, to the extent of said disbursements, shall be
subordinate to the lien or encumbrance specified in such notice or to a valid
