FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
DICK’S SPORTING GOODS OFFICERS’ SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

     WHEREAS, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) established the Dick’s Sporting Goods Officers’ Supplemental Savings Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain employees;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan, the Company reserves the right to amend the Plan; and

     NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is amended effective as of January 1, 2008 as follows:

1.		Section 2.2 of the Plan is amended by adding the following sentence to the end of that section:
		In addition, in the case of an ad hoc Discretionary Contribution described in Section 2.4, the Administrator may permit the Eligible Executive to defer such compensation on or before the 30th day after the Eligible Executive obtains the legally binding right to the compensation, provided that the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse.
2.		Section 2.4 is amended by adding the following new paragraph to the end of that section:
		The Company also shall have the discretion to make an ad hoc Discretionary Contribution to the Plan on behalf of any Eligible Executive, but such compensation shall not be payable to the Eligible Executive unless the Eligible Executive continues to provide services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Eligible Executive obtains a legally binding right to receive such compensation. In such a case, the election to defer such compensation may be made on or before the 30th day after the Eligible Executive obtains the legally binding right to the compensation, provided that the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse.
3.		Section 3.1 is amended by replacing the fourth sentence of that section with the following sentence: “Discretionary Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account.”
4.		Section 3.2 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
