Lapsed Awards. If any Award is: # forfeited or otherwise expires, terminates or is canceled without the delivery of all Shares (or is forfeited by repurchase of Shares) subject to it or # settled other than by delivery of Shares (including cash settlement), then the number of Shares subject to such Awards that were not issued shall again become available to be delivered pursuant to future Awards under the Plan. For purposes of determining the number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to lapsed Awards, the term “Award” shall include any lapsed awards granted under the 2008 Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, only Shares which are actually issued in respect of Awards will cease to be available under the Plan; provided, however, that # Shares delivered (by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to purchase Shares upon the exercise of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall not be added back to the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan and # Shares repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

Substitute Awards. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a), except as may be required by reason of [Section 422] and related provisions of the Code.

Restricted Shares: You will receive a recruitment award of Kohl’s restricted stock valued at $3,000,000. In accordance with Kohl’s Equity Compensation Award Guidelines, the grant date for this award will be the last NYSE trading day on or before the 15th of the month following the month of your start date at Kohl’s. The number of restricted shares awarded will be based upon the closing share price on the grant date. These restricted shares will vest in 3 installments – 60% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 20% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 20% on the third anniversary of the grant date, all contingent on your continued employment by Kohl’s on each vesting date.

Equity Awards.

Equity Awards. The Company has adopted the 2013 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).

Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Awards to any Eligible Person payable in cash, Shares, or other Awards, on terms and conditions established by the Committee, subject to the provisions of Section 8 if and to the extent that the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that an Award shall be subject to those provisions. The performance criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period and the length of the Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant of each Performance Award. Except as provided in Section 9 or as may be provided in an Award Agreement, Performance Awards shall be distributed only after the end of the relevant Performance Period. The performance goals to be achieved for each Performance Period shall be conclusively determined by the Committee and may be based upon the criteria set forth in Section 8(b), or any other criteria that the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine should be used for that purpose. The amount of the Award to be distributed shall be conclusively determined by the Committee. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the Performance Period or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis, in each case in a manner that does not violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with a Performance Award shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Performance Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited.

LAPSED AWARDS. If any Award granted under this Plan is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason (with the exception of the termination of a Tandem SAR upon exercise of the related Option, or the termination of a related Option upon exercise of the corresponding Tandem SAR), any Shares subject to such Award again shall be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan.

Substitute Awards. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Shares issued by the Company as Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

Equity Awards. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall grant you restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with respect to Company common stock with a value of $325,000 as of the grant date (determined by dividing $325,000 by the closing price per share of Company common stock on the date of grant).

The RSUs shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the standard form of RSU agreement thereunder.

In addition, any RSUs or performance-based RSUs that you currently hold will continue to vest in accordance with their terms, subject to your continued service on the Board.
