Ms. Leena Munjal


Dear Leena,
We are pleased to extend to you our offer of a promotion to Divisional Vice President, Chief of Staff – Office of the Chairman. Your new position and compensation package will be effective May 1, 2011, subject to the contingency referred to below.

The key elements of your compensation package are as follows:

Annual base salary at a rate of $205,000.

Your annual incentive opportunity will increase to 35% of your base salary under Sears Holdings Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”). Any incentive payable under the 2011 AIP will be prorated from January 30, 2011 through April 30, 2011 at a target of 30% of your then current base salary of $190,000 and from May 1, 2011 through January 28, 2012, the last day of Sears Holdings 2011 fiscal year, a target of 35% of your new base salary of $205,000. Any annual incentive payable with respect to a fiscal year will be paid by April 15th of the following fiscal year, provided that you are actively employed at the payment date.
Sears Holdings Corporation has historically provided annual Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) awards to its executives, with performance cycles of three years and award amounts established as a percentage of base salary. Your participation in the 2011 LTIP will be determined at the same time and in the same manner as other similarly positioned executives of the company.

The table below summarizes the changes in your compensation:

You will be required to sign a DVP Executive Severance Agreement (“Agreement”). If your employment with SHC is terminated by SHC other than for Cause, death or Disability or by you for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Executive Severance Agreement), you will receive four (4) months of salary continuation, equal to your base salary at the time of termination, subject to mitigation. Under this Agreement, you agree, among other things, not to disclose confidential information and for twelve (12) months following termination of employment not to solicit employees.  You also agree not to aid, assist or render services for any “Sears Competitor” or “Sears Vendor” (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) for six (6) months following termination of employment. The non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-compete and non-affiliation provisions apply regardless of whether you are eligible for severance benefits under this agreement. This promotion is conditioned upon you signing this Agreement.
