                              SECOND AMENDMENT TO
                       RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT

     This Second Amendment to Restricted Stock Grant Agreement (this
"Amendment") dated February 21, 2001, amends that certain Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement by and between Oshman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and Alvin N. Lubetkin, a resident of Harris County, Texas
("Grantee") dated as of July 15, 1994, as previously amended by that certain
First Amendment to Restricted Stock Agreement (together the "Agreement").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Company and Grantee desire now to further amend the Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

     1.   Paragraph 5(b)(5) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

     "(5) Upon any termination of Grantee's employment (whether by the Company
     or by the Employee) following a Change in Control (as defined in Section
     5.7(a) of the Company's 1994 Omnibus Plan).

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of
     a Change in Control involving the merger of the Company, Grantee may, prior
     to the actual occurrence of such Change of Control, provide notice to the
     Company of the termination of Grantee's employment at and contingent upon
     the Closing of such merger and in such notice Grantee may elect to receive
     at the effective time of such merger, in cancellation and conversion of the
     Restricted Shares granted hereunder (subject to reduction as provided in
     Section 5(c) hereof), the merger consideration payable with respect to such
     shares pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, provided
     that in the case of merger consideration involving securities to be
     registered under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, such election
     shall be made prior to the initial filing of a registration statement with
     respect to such securities."

     2.   Paragraph 6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety
as follows:

          "6.  Tax Benefit Payment.  Subject to the following provisions of this
               -------------------
     Paragraph 6, as soon as practical after the end of the Company's taxable
     year in which occurs Grantee's Vesting Date, the Company shall pay to
     Grantee in a single sum in cash an amount equal to the current tax savings
     attributable to the federal income tax deduction to which the Company is
     entitled as a result of the Grantee's vesting in the Restricted Shares. To
     the extent that the Company derives a partial or no tax savings from the
     tax deduction because the Company's taxable income for federal income tax
     purposes is not sufficient for it to currently benefit from such deduction
     or the Company has a net operating loss, payment of the amount or amounts
     due hereunder will be made as described below if and when (and to the
<PAGE>

     extent) the Company does derive a current tax savings from the deduction.
     In determining when the deduction attributable to the vesting of the
     Restricted Shares is used by the Company, it shall be assumed that all
     other deductions available to the Company are used before the deduction
     attributable to the Restricted Shares is utilized. Payment of the amount
     or amounts due hereunder shall be made to Grantee in cash as soon as
     practicable after the end of the Company's taxable year or years, if
     applicable, in which the Company derives a current tax savings from the
     deduction; provided, however, that in the event Grantee's Vesting Date
                --------  -------
     occurs as a result of a termination of Grantee's employment as provided in
     Section 5(b)(5) above in connection with a merger or consolidation of the
     Company into or  with another corporation (the "Successor Corporation")
     under circumstances where the Company is not the surviving corporation,
     then (i) immediately following such merger or consolidation the Successor
     Corporation shall pay to Grantee in a single sum in cash an amount equal to
     the tax savings attributable to the full federal income tax deduction that
     would have been realized by the Company assuming that the Company could
     derive such full tax savings with respect to such deduction in the taxable
     year ending with such merger or consolidation, and (ii) any calculations
     with respect to any acceleration of such payment necessary to determine
     benefits payable to Grantee pursuant to the Company's Statement of Policy
     Regarding Key Executive Severance Pay Bonus Program shall be made based
     upon a reasonable determination as to when the Company and its subsidiaries
     would have had taxable income sufficient to derive the full tax savings
     with respect to such deduction or if the Company and its subsidiaries filed
     a separate income tax return, without giving effect to such merger or
     consolidation.  Should Grantee die before full payment of any amount due
     hereunder is paid, such amount shall be paid to the personal representative
     or representatives of his estate."

     3.   As amended hereby, the Agreement remains in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of
which taken together shall constitute one instrument, effective on and as of the
15th day of July, 1994.
