      This First Amendment to Intellectual Property Option Agreement (the "First

                                    RECITALS

      A.    Licensor and Licensee have entered into that certain Teva License
Agreement dated June 7, 1999 (the "License Agreement"), which provides Licensee
with a license to use certain Licensed Intellectual Property (as that term is
defined in the License Agreement) owned by Licensor in connection with the
manufacture and sale of footwear under the Teva(R) brand name.

      B.    Licensor and Licensee have entered into that certain Intellectual
Property Option Agreement, dated June 7, 1999 (the "Option Agreement"), which
grants Licensee an option to purchase the Licensed Intellectual Property.

      C.    In connection with the Option Agreement, Licensee desires to extend,
and Licensor is willing to extend, the term of the Licensee's First Exclusive
Option Period (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement).

      NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
First Amendment, and the mutual covenants hereinafter provided and other good
and valuable consideration, Licensor and Licensee agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

      1.    Section 1.2 of the Option Agreement is amended as follows:

            1.2   "Licensee's First Exclusive Option Period" shall mean the
period beginning on January 1, 2000 through and including December 31, 2003.

      2.    Section 2.6(a) of the Option Agreement is amended as follows:

            2.6   Purchase Price and Terms.

            (a)   Purchase Price of Licensed Intellectual Property During First
Exclusive Option Period. If Licensee is to purchase the Licensed Intellectual
Property during the Licensee's First Exclusive Option Period pursuant to Section
2.1, the purchase price paid for the license on the Intellectual Property shall
be (i) a cash payment in an amount which is the greater of (x) the sum that
results from adding (I) $1,565,996 plus (II) 75% of Net Sales for all Licensed
Products and other Teva products made by Licensee, Licensor, and any third party
(excluding any such sales by Licensee to Licensor to avoid "double counting")
("Aggregated Net Sales") of
   2
the calendar year since January 1, 2000 with the highest Aggregated Net Sales
or (y) $61,565,996; (ii) 100,000 shares of the Licensee's common stock (the
"Option Execution Shares"); and (iii) options to purchase 100,000 shares of the

average closing price of Licensee's common stock over the 30-day period prior
to Licensee's exercise of its option to purchase the Licensed Intellectual
Property. The Options shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the purchase of
the Licensed Intellectual Property.

      3.    In consideration of Licensor agreeing to extend the term of the
Licensee's First Exclusive Option Period, Licensee will pay the sum of
$1,565,996, in cash, to Mark Thatcher on or before March 31, 2001.

      4.    All capitalized terms used in this First Amendment, but not
otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the
Option Agreement.

      5.    This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this First Amendment to
Intellectual Property Option Agreement to be executed on the date first written
above.
