 Exhibit 10.4 
 SARA LEE CORPORATION 
 EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

 (FY11-13 EMLTIP) 
 Grant Notice and Agreement 
  

 
 [INSERT PARTICIPANT NAME]

 This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit (PSU) Grant Notice and Agreement, made this August 26, 2010 (“Award
Date”), by Sara Lee Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Company”) to you is evidence of an award made under the Sara Lee Corporation 2002 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (“Plan”) which is incorporated into this “Grant
Notice and Agreement” by reference. A copy of the Plan and the FY11-13 EMLTIP Program Description (“Program Description”) have been or will be provided to you and are also available from the Sara Lee Corporate Compensation Department.

 1. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award. Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions
specified in the Program Description, the Plan and this Grant Notice and Agreement, the Company hereby awards to you as of the Award Date: 
              Performance Stock Units (PSUs) 
 which are considered Stock Awards under the Plan (the “Award”). The vesting of this Award is based both upon your continued service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively the
“Sara Lee Companies”) and the Company’s performance during the “Performance Cycle”, as detailed in the Program Description, and therefore the actual number of PSUs ultimately released, if any, is determined at the end of the
Performance Cycle. Prior to the date the PSUs vest (“Vesting Date”), the PSUs are not transferable by you by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise. 

2. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. By acknowledging and accepting this Award, you agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions contained in this Grant Notice and Agreement, the Plan and the Program Description and any and all conditions established by the Company in connection with Awards issued under the Plan and the Program Description, and understand that this
Award neither confers any legal or equitable right (other than those rights constituting the Award itself) against the Company directly or indirectly, nor does it give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company. In order to
vest in the Award described in this Grant Notice and Agreement, you must have accepted this Award. 
 3. Dividend
Equivalents. Subject to the restrictions, limitations and conditions as described in the Plan and the Program Description, dividend equivalents payable on the PSUs will be accrued (in cash, without interest) on your behalf at the time that
dividends are otherwise paid to owners of Sara Lee Corporation common stock. 
 4. Distribution of the Award. If the
distribution is subject to tax withholding, such taxes will be settled by withholding cash and/or a number of shares with a market value not less than the amount of such taxes. Any cash from dividend equivalents remaining after withholding taxes are
paid will be paid in cash to you. The net number of shares of Sara Lee Corporation common stock to be distributed will be delivered to your electronic stock plan account as soon as practicable after the Vesting Date. If withholding of taxes is not
required, none will be taken and the gross number of shares will be distributed. You are personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all taxes related to this distribution. 

  
 5. Election to
Defer Distribution. If the distribution is subject to U.S. tax law, you may elect to defer the distribution of all of the PSUs. Such election must be received by the Company in the form required by the Company no later than 30 days after the
Award Date and is contingent upon the Company’s allowing deferrals into the Sara Lee Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) at that time. The deferral, if elected, will result in the
transfer of the PSUs into the Deferred Compensation Plan’s Stock Equivalent Fund in effect at the time the PSUs would have otherwise been distributed. The Deferred Compensation Plan rules will govern the administration of this Award beginning
on the date the PSUs are credited to the Deferred Compensation Plan. 
 6. Death, Total Disability or Retirement. If you
cease active employment (i.e., cease to be coded as active on the payroll system) with the Sara Lee Companies, because of your death or because you become Totally Disabled (as defined under the appropriate long term disability benefit plan, if
applicable), the Award will continue to vest and be distributed to you or your estate at the same time as it is to other Participants. In the case of your attaining age 55 or older and, if you have at least 10 years of service with the Sara Lee
Companies when your employment terminates or attain age 65, regardless of service, the Award will continue to vest after your termination. These provisions apply only to Awards under this Grant Notice and Agreement; other types of awards may have
different provisions. 
 7. Involuntary Termination, Voluntary Termination and Non-Severance Event Termination. The
following provisions apply only to the Award granted herein; other types of Awards may have different provisions 
 (a)
Involuntary Termination. If your employment with the Sara Lee Companies is terminated and you are eligible to receive severance benefits under the Sara Lee Corporation Severance Plan for Corporate Officers, the Severance Pay Plan, the Severance
Pay Plan for Executives, the Severance Pay Plan for Certain Events or any other written severance plan of the Company (collectively, a “Severance Event Termination”), you must have completed at least twelve full months of active employment
during the Performance Cycle to be eligible to receive a pro-rated distribution based upon your service through the termination date (not including severance period) and the Company’s performance results. If the requirement for twelve months of
active employment is not met, all the PSUs under this grant will be canceled. 
 In the event that the division, business unit
or business segment of the Company to which at least 80% of your time is dedicated or from which you are on leave of absence is sold, closed, spun off or otherwise divested and, as a result of such transaction, your employment with the Sara Lee
Companies is terminated, PSUs will continue to vest during the Performance Cycle and are subject to pro-ration only for performance results. This provision does not apply with respect to any transaction that would be considered a Change of Control
as defined in Article X of the Plan. 
 (b) Voluntary Termination and Non-Severance Event Termination. If your employment
terminates for reasons other than those described above (i.e., you voluntarily terminate employment with the Sara Lee Companies or your employment is terminated by the Sara Lee Companies and you are not eligible for severance pay under any of the
Company’s severance plans), then this Award shall be canceled on the date of your termination of employment. 
 8.
Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Confidentiality. In order to receive your PSU grants, you must sign a Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Confidentiality Agreement as a condition of your continuing employment. Signing the agreement is also a
condition of your receipt of the PSU grant. Please carefully read the attached Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Confidentiality Agreement in its entirety and feel free to have your lawyer review it prior to signing it.

 9. Forfeiture or
Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Grant Notice and Agreement to the contrary, you may forfeit all or a portion of the Award and/or be required to repay the Company, or you may be entitled to an increased Award, upon the
occurrence of any of the following events. 
 (a) Misconduct. If you engage in any activity contrary or harmful to the
interests of the Company, including but not limited to: (i) competing, directly or indirectly (either as owner, employee or agent), with any of the businesses of the Company, (ii) violating any Company policies, (iii) soliciting any
present or future employees or customers of the Company to terminate such employment or business relationship(s) with the Company, (iv) disclosing or misusing any confidential information regarding the Company, or (v) participating in any
activity not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company which could reasonably be foreseen as contributing to or resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) (such activities to be collectively referred to as
“wrongful conduct”), then (A) this Award, to the extent it remains restricted, shall terminate automatically on the date on which you first engaged in such wrongful conduct, (B) if the wrongful conduct occurred within six months
of a Vesting Date, you shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you realized from the vesting of the PSU, and (C) if the wrongful conduct occurred after the PSU has been deferred in the Deferred Compensation Plan and prior to the
deferred payment date, you shall forfeit the deferred PSU and this Award shall terminate automatically on the date on which you first engaged in such wrongful conduct. 
 (b) Restatement of Financial Results. This paragraph (9)(b) applies to you only if you are an “officer” of the Company, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, at the time you received this Award (“Officer Participant”). If you are an Officer Participant and you vest in an Award (including if the distribution of an incentive award is deferred pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan),
which vesting was predicated upon the Company achieving certain financial results (the “Original Amount”), and within two years after the Vesting Date the Company restates its financial statements due to material noncompliance with
financial reporting requirements under the securities laws (such restated financial statements, the “Restated Financials”), then the vested amount of the Award shall be recalculated based on the Restated Financials (the “Adjusted
Amount”). If the Original Amount is greater than the Adjusted Amount, then on the date on which the Company files the Restated Financials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), any vested portion of this Award that has
not yet been distributed automatically shall be reduced by an amount equal to (i) the Original Amount, less (ii) the Adjusted Amount. If the Adjusted Amount is greater than the Original Amount, then on the date on which the Company files
the Restated Financials with the SEC, any vested amount that has not yet been distributed automatically shall be increased by an amount equal to (A) the Adjusted Amount, less (B) the Original Amount. If the incentive award already has been
distributed then, as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company files the Restated Financials with the SEC, (x) you shall pay to the Company, in cash, any financial gain you realized from the vesting of the incentive award that is
attributable to the excess of the Original Amount over the Adjusted Amount, if the Original Amount is greater than the Adjusted Amount, or (y) the Company shall pay to you, in cash, an amount equal to the excess of the Adjusted Amount over the
Original Amount, if the Adjusted Amount is greater than the Original Amount. No interest will be due to or paid by the Company or you to the other with respect to any such true up payment. If you elected to defer any portion of an incentive award
pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan and an adjustment under this paragraph 9(b) is required before the deferral payment date, then your account under the Deferred Compensation Plan shall be credited or charged so that the deferred award
equals the Adjusted Amount. The Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors may determine, in its discretion and based on the circumstances leading to the Company’s filing of Restated Financials with
the SEC, that any recoupment or payment under this paragraph 9(b) is not practical and may elect to forego the application of this paragraph 9(b).

 5FY11-13 Stock Option Grant Program

  
 Exhibit 10.5

 SARA LEE CORPORATION 
 STOCK OPTION GRANT 
 FISCAL YEARS 2011-2013 

Program Description 

Highlights 
 This booklet explains the
plan provisions of the Sara Lee Corporation Stock Option grant covering fiscal years 2011 through 2013 (“Service Period”) with the Stock Options (“Options”) vesting 100% on August 31, 2013 (the “Vesting Date”). The
following pages provide detailed information relating to the grant of Options that you have received under the program. 
 The key features of
this program are summarized below. In some countries other than the United States, variations in program design and rules may occur in order to comply with local laws and tax provisions. 
 Purpose 
 The Option program is a significant component of Sara Lee’s long-term
incentive compensation program. It enhances the competitiveness of Sara Lee’s total executive compensation package, aligns senior executives with stockholder interests, and facilitates the attraction and retention of highly qualified
executives. 
 Stock Options 
 A
stock option entitles the Participant to purchase shares of SLE stock at a fixed price over a period of time, typically 10 years. The value of the stock option increases when the market value of SLE stock exceeds the “Exercise Price” of
the stock option. When you exercise an option, you purchase and then own the Sara Lee common shares you receive from the transaction. 
 Option
awards are authorized under the Sara Lee Corporation 1998 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”). Option awards are granted at the beginning of the Service Period. The vesting of the Options on the Vesting Date is contingent upon
your continued active employment by the Corporation until the Vesting Date, which is August 31, 2013. 
 SLC may substitute or offer
alternative forms of incentive compensation in the event it either determines that tax or legal regulations in some countries outside the United States provide more favorable treatment for these alternative forms of incentive compensation or as a
voluntary alternative to Options. 
  

	•	 	 Individual Option awards are approved on August 26, 2010 and on the January 2011 meeting of the Compensation and Employee Benefit Committee. Based
upon your continued active service through the Vesting Date, the Options become fully vested and are eligible to be exercised. 

  

	•	 	 You do not have voting rights on Options until you exercise the Option to purchase actual shares. 

 

	•	 	 You do not receive dividends or dividend equivalents on Options.

 Award Grant Notice 

You will receive a Stock Option Grant Notice and Agreement (“Grant Notice”) specifying the number of Options that have been granted, and certain
terms and conditions applicable to the grant. You should retain a copy of your Grant Notice along with other important legal documents. The Grant Notice will be distributed electronically through your E*Trade account. You must log into your E*Trade
account and accept your grant(s) on-line. Instructions will be provided at the appropriate time. Sara Lee may from time to time modify the grant acceptance process and will notify you of any changes. 

Tax Consequences 
 United States

 Under current United States tax law, a Participant receives no taxable income from the Options when initially granted. The Exercise
Date is the date when the taxable event occurs. The amount of taxable income, or the gain, is the difference between the market value of SLC common stock on the Exercise Date and the Option’s Exercise Price. This amount is then subject to any
applicable federal, state and local withholding. Amounts necessary to settle the tax-withholding obligation will be withheld from shares otherwise to be distributed to the Participant, unless otherwise determined by the Company. 

Countries other than the United States 
 Tax laws vary significantly from country to country, so professional advice should be obtained from appropriate counsel concerning the tax consequences of this grant. In most cases, Participants incur no
taxable income from Options when initially granted. When the Options are exercised, the difference between the market value of the shares on the Exercise Date and the Option Exercise Price is typically considered taxable income. For Participants
residing outside the U.S. and not subject to U.S. tax laws, tax withholding for certain countries may be required and will be taken by Sara Lee Corporation in the U.S. Each Participant is responsible for compliance with the relevant legal and tax
regulations in his or her tax jurisdiction. 
 Exercising Stock Options 
 You may exercise your vested stock option – that is, purchase any or all of the vested shares in your grant at the Exercise Price, at any time between the Vesting Date and the Expiration Date
(subject to earlier expiration upon death, disability or other termination of employment, as provided below). The minimum number of vested Options that you may exercise is 100 shares. For information on how to exercise your options, refer to your
E*TRADE Stock Plans account or contact E*TRADE directly at 1-866-987-2339 or 1-678-319-7967. 
 Impact on Other Benefits 

Any shares acquired upon the exercise of Options under this Option grant are not considered compensation for purposes of any retirement plan, severance
arrangement or other benefit plans in which a Participant currently participates or may become eligible to participate in at a later date. 

Stock Ownership Compliance 
 Any shares
acquired and retained upon the exercise of Options will count towards the Corporation’s stock ownership guidelines during the Service Period. Stock Options do not count towards compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. 

Non-Competetion/Non-Solicitation/Confidentialty Agreement 
 In order to receive your Stock Option grant, you are required to sign a Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Confidentiality Agreement as a condition of your continuing employment. Signing the agreement is a
condition of your receipt of the Stock Option grant. Please read the Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Confidentiality Agreement in its entirety.

 Forfeiture 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Grant Notice and Agreement to the contrary, if you engage in any activity contrary or harmful to the interests
of the Company, including but not limited to: (a) competing, directly or indirectly (either as owner, employee or agent), with any of the businesses of the Company, (b) violating any Company policies, (c) soliciting any present or
future employees or customers of the Company to terminate such employment or business relationship(s) with the Company, (d) disclosing or misusing any confidential information regarding the Company, or (e) participating in any activity not
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company which could reasonably be foreseen as contributing to or resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) (such activities to be collectively referred to as “wrongful
conduct”), then (i) this Option, to the extent it remains unexercised, shall terminate automatically on the date on which you first engaged in such wrongful conduct and (ii) you shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you
realized from exercising all or a portion of this Option within the six month period immediately preceding such wrongful conduct. For purposes of this section, financial gain shall equal, on each date of exercise during the six month period
immediately preceding such wrongful conduct, the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to that exercise
(without reduction for any shares of Common Stock surrendered or attested to) reduced by any taxes paid in countries other than the United States to acquire and or exercise and which taxes are not otherwise eligible for refund from the taxing
authorities. By accepting this Option, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct from any amounts payable by the Company to you, any amounts you owe to the Company under this section. This right of set-off is in addition to any other
remedies the Company may have against you for your breach of this Grant Notice and Agreement. 
 Administrative Guidelines 

The following guidelines apply to the FY11-13 Stock Option grant. Additional Administrative Guidelines may be adopted, as needed, during the Service
Period for the efficient administration of the Plan. 
  

	•	 	 The Compensation and Employee Benefit Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for administering the Plan and has full power and authority to
interpret the Plan and to adopt rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the Plan, as it deems necessary. 

  

	•	 	 The Committee functions as the Plan Administrator and its decisions are binding on all Participants. 

 

	•	 	 The Committee reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to make further adjustments in awards granted to any Participant prior to the vesting of
those Options. 

  

	•	 	 The Committee may, as it deems appropriate, delegate some or all of its power to the Chief Executive Officer of Sara Lee Corporation. However, the
Committee may not delegate its power concerning the grant, timing, pricing or amount of an award to any person who is a corporate officer or Key Executive. 

 

	•	 	 The Committee approves the awards granted to all Corporate Officers and Key Executives. 

 

	•	 	 Awards may be made to new Participants during the first year of the Service Period. The number of Options awarded may be adjusted to reflect that the
executive is not a Participant for the entire Service Period. 

  

	•	 	 Awards may also be made to Participants who change positions during the first year of the Service Period, if such a change would have resulted in the
Participant qualifying for an increased level of award. 

  
 3 

  

	•	 	 In the event of death or the Participant becoming Totally Disabled (as defined under the appropriate long term disability benefit plan if applicable)
the Options immediately vest and the last date on which the Participant’s Options may be exercised will be the earlier of five years from the date of death or disability or the Expiration Date of the Option. 

 

	•	 	 In the case of a Participant attaining age 55 or older and having at least 10 years of service with the Corporation when a Participant’s
employment terminates or attaining age 65 regardless of service, the Option will continue to vest after your termination and the last date on which your Options may be exercised will be the Expiration Date. 

 

	•	 	 A Participant who resigns or is terminated for cause during the Service Period generally forfeits the rights to all Options. Exceptions to this rule
must be approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Sara Lee Corporation. 

  

	•	 	 A Participant who is involuntarily terminated and receives severance from the Company is eligible for a pro-rated vesting of stock options. The period
of active employment (i.e., the period in which the Participant is coded as active on the payroll system), but not the severance period, will be used to determine the pro-ration period. The option will remain exercisable until 90 days following
termination of employment. 

  

	•	 	 In the event that the division, business unit or business segment of the Company to which at least 80% of the Participant’s time is dedicated or
from which the Participant is on leave of absence is sold, closed, spun off or otherwise divested and, as a result of such transaction, the Participant’s employment with the Sara Lee Companies is terminated, all Options will vest upon the
closing date of the transaction and remain exercisable for six months following the date of the transaction. 

  

	•	 	 Should a change in control occur (as defined in the Stock Plan), the Committee will decide what effect, if any, this should have on the awards which
are outstanding under this Plan. 

  

	•	 	 If any statement in this Program Description or any oral representation differs from the Stock Plan, the Stock Plan document prevails. The Stock Plan,
the Grant Notice, and the Program Description collectively comprise all terms and conditions applicable to the FY11-13 Stock Option grant. 

  

	•	 	 Any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, spin-off or other distribution of any
or all of the assets of the Company will be handled as provided for in the Stock Plan. 

  

	•	 	 Nothing in the Stock Option grant shall confer on a Participant any right to continue in the employ of SLC or in any way affect SLC’s right to
terminate the Participant’s employment in accordance with applicable laws.
