 (a)      Termination By Company for Cause,
By Executive Other Than for Good Reason or Due to Disability.  If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section [3.1 (b)] [2.1] of the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement], by
Executive pursuant to [Section 3.1(e)] [Sections 2.2 or 2.3] of the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement] or due to Disability (defined in the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement]) pursuant to Section
[3.1(d)] [2.5] of the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement], the vesting of the Restricted Shares shall, on the date of such termination, cease and any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by Executive and revert to the
Company. 
 (b)      Termination Due to Executive’s
Death.  If Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death pursuant to Section [3.1(d)] [2.4] of the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement], the Restricted Shares shall, upon such termination,
vest immediately. 
 (c)      Termination By Company Without Cause or By
Executive for Good Reason.  If Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive [pursuant to Section 3.1(c) of the Employment Agreement or by] [or] the Company pursuant to [Section 3.1(a)] [2.6] of the [Employment Agreement]
[Executive Compensation Agreement], any Restricted Shares that are scheduled to vest [during the period through the end of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable, of the Employment Agreement (but in no event longer than the
three] [in the two]-year period following the date of Executive’s termination of employment[)] shall immediately vest. 

(d)      Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, any
outstanding Restricted Shares shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Plan, provided, however, any references to “cause” and “good reason” used in Paragraph 19 of the Plan shall be interpreted by
applying the definitions of “cause” and “good reason” set forth in the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement]. 

Any Restricted Shares which do not vest shall be forfeited by Executive and revert to the Company. The period during which the Restricted Shares are
unvested is referred to herein as the Restricted Period. 
 1.3    Shareholder
Status.  Prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares, Executive shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares, the right to receive and retain all regular cash dividends paid or distributed in respect of the Restricted Shares,
and except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all other rights as a holder of outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not have the right to vote or to receive dividends with respect to the
Restricted Shares with respect to record dates occurring after any of the Restricted Shares revert to the Company pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof. Until the Restricted Shares vest pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, the Company shall retain
custody of the stock certificates representing the Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable after the lapse of the restrictions, the Company shall issue or release or cause to be issued or released certificate(s) representing the shares, less any
shares used to satisfy the obligation to withhold income and/or employment taxes in connection with the vesting of any Restricted Shares.

 1.4      Prohibition Against
Transfer.  During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Executive, or be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any transfer in violation of this Section 1.4 shall be void and of no further effect. 
 ARTICLE II 

 Miscellaneous 

2.1       Provisions of the Plan Control.  This Agreement shall be governed by the
provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan empowers the Committee to make interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder, and, in general, provides that determinations of such
Committee with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon the Executive. A copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Executive upon reasonable request. 

2.2      References to [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement].  All
references to the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement] herein shall refer to the [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement] in effect on the date of grant of Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding that, at the time of
a termination of Executive’s employment, the Executive and Company may no longer be parties to such [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement] or may have amended such [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement],
this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such [Employment Agreement] [Executive Compensation Agreement] were still in place (including any requirements to give notice, etc.). [Further, to the extent that the Employment Agreement has been terminated
prior to the Executive’s termination of employment, the measurement period for additional vesting of Restricted Shares under Section 1.2(c) of this Agreement shall be the three-year period following the date of Executive’s termination
of employment.] 
 2.3      Taxes.  The Company may require payment of or
withhold any income or employment tax which it believes is payable as a result of the grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares or any payments thereon or in connection therewith, and the Company may defer making delivery with respect to the shares
until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made with regard to any such withholding obligation. In accordance with the Plan, the Company may withhold shares of Common Stock to satisfy such withholding obligations. 

2.4      No Employment Rights.  The award of the Restricted Shares pursuant to this
Agreement shall not give the Executive any right to remain employed by the Company or any affiliate thereof. 

2.5      Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement
shall be given in writing to the Company in care of its General Counsel at Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc., N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, 53051. Any notice to be given to the Executive may be addressed to him/her at the
address as it appears on the payroll records of the Company or any subsidiary thereof. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when actually received by the party to whom it is addressed, as evidenced by a written receipt to
that effect. 
 2.6      Governing Law.  This Agreement and all questions arising
hereunder or in connection herewith shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.
