Re:  Amendment to Lease

Dear Angel:

Reference is hereby made to the Lease dated November 1, 1992
between you and Reebok International Ltd. ("Reebok"), together
with the Addendum thereto (the "Lease").  Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the respective meanings set
forth in the Lease.  We agree to amend such Lease as follows:

1.   The term of the Lease shall be extended for an additional
     period until the earlier of (a) the date of the closing of
     the sale of your California residence located at 3325
     Mountain Park Drive, Calabases, CA  91302, (b) the date on
     which your employment with Reebok or its subsidiaries is
     terminated for any reason, or (c) October 31, 1996 (such
     date shall be referred to herein as the "Lease Termination
     Date").

2.   During such extended term, you shall be liable for rent to
     Reebok at a rate of $5,000 per month (pro-rated for any
     partial month), which rent shall be due and payable to
     Reebok in full on the Lease Termination Date; provided,
     however, that if you sell your California residence prior to
     May 31, 1996 and purchase the Leased Premises prior to such
     date, as provided in Section 3 below, Reebok will forgive
     the rent payments which would otherwise be due.

     If you fail to pay any rent owed to Reebok when due, you
     agree that Reebok or its subsidiaries may deduct such amount
     from your compensation or any other amount which Reebok or
     its subsidiaries, including the Rockport Company, may owe
     you.

3.   You have decided to exercise your option to purchase the
     Leased Premises in accordance with the terms set forth in
     the Lease and it is agreed that the closing of the sale of
     the Leased Premises to you by Reebok pursuant to such option
     shall take place on the Lease Termination Date.  The
     purchase price for the Leased Premises shall be $
     1,064,350.71, which amount was calculated in the manner
     provided in Section 32 of the Lease.  In addition, as
     indicated in Section 2 above, you will pay Reebok at such
     time any rent due.
