 RECITALS 
 Employee is employed as
                                        
         and is a valuable employee of the Company. The Company and the Employee have agreed to make provision for certain aspects of their relationship during and after the period in which Employee is
employed by the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company and Employee (“Parties”), the Parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 
 1.1 “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 1.2 “Cause” shall mean any of the following: 
 (i) Employee’s willful failure to substantially perform
Employee’s duties after a written demand for performance is delivered to Employee that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Employee has not substantially performed his/her duties, and Employee has failed to
demonstrate substantial efforts to resume performance of Employee’s duties on a continuous basis within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such demand; provided, however, that failure to meet sales or financial performance
objectives, by itself, will not constitute “Cause”; 
 (ii) Employee’s willful violation of a material provision of
“Kohl’s Ethical Standards and Responsibilities” which is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. The term “willful” as used herein means any act or omission committed in bad faith or without a
reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company; 
 (iii) Any dishonest or fraudulent conduct by Employee
which results, or is intended to result, in gain to Employee or Employee’s personal enrichment at the expense of the Company; 
 (iv)
Any material breach of Articles IV, V, VI or VII, below of this Agreement by Employee; or 
 (v) Conviction of Employee, after all applicable
rights of appeal have been exhausted or waived, of any crime that materially discredits the Company or is materially detrimental to the Company’s reputation or goodwill. 
 1.3 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (i) the acquisition
(other than from the Company) by any person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), other than the Company, a subsidiary of the Company
or any employee benefit plan or plans sponsored by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 13d-3) of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the then
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or voting securities representing thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities ordinarily entitled to vote in the
election of directors unless the Incumbent Board (defined below), before such acquisition or within thirty (30) days thereafter, deems such acquisition not to be a Change of Control; 
 (ii) individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (as of such date, “Incumbent Board”) ceasing for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of such Board; provided, however, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date of this Agreement whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of at
least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest which was (or, if threatened, would have been) subject to Exchange Act Rule 14a-12(c); 

 (iii) the consummation of any merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger, consolidation or share exchange which results in more than sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of the common stock, and voting securities representing more than sixty percent (60%) of the
combined voting power of then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, of the surviving, consolidated or resulting corporation being then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who
were the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such transaction, of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock or then outstanding
voting securities, as the case may be; or 
 (iv) the consummation of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
 Following the occurrence of an event which is not a Change of
Control whereby there is a successor company to the Company, or, if there is no such successor, whereby the Company is not the surviving corporation in a merger or consolidation, the surviving corporation or successor holding company (as the case
may be), for purposes of this Agreement, shall thereafter be referred to as the Company. 
 1.4 “Company” means Kohl’s Department
Stores, Inc. 
 1.5 “Designated Beneficiary” means the person or persons designated by the Employee, on a form provided by the Company, to
receive benefits payable under this Agreement, if any, after the death of Employee.

to a physical or mental impairment, to perform the essential functions of Employee’s job with the Company, with or without a reasonable accommodation and such inability has or is reasonably anticipated to continue for a period in excess of one
hundred eighty (180) calendar days. A determination of Disability shall be made by the Company, which may, at its sole discretion, consult with a physician or physicians satisfactory to the Company, and Employee shall cooperate
with any efforts to make such determination. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Any determination of Disability under this Section 1.6 is not intended to alter any benefits any party may be entitled to
receive under any disability insurance policy carried by either the Company or Employee with respect to Employee, which benefits shall be governed solely by the terms of any such insurance policy. 
 1.7 “Final Expenses” means reimbursement of expenses to which Employee is entitled under programs and policies which the Company has made available
to senior executives of the Company and which are in effect at the Company from time to time. 
 1.8 “Final Pay” means any unpaid base
salary with respect to the period prior to the effective date of Employee’s termination of employment together with payment of any vacation that Employee has accrued but not used through the date of Employee’s termination of
employment. 
 1.9 “Good Reason” means any of the following: (i) a significant reduction in the Employee’s status, title,
position, responsibilities or base salary which is not agreed to by Employee; (ii) any purported termination of the Employee’s employment for Cause which does not comply with the definition of Cause under this Agreement; or (iii) a
mandatory relocation of Employee’s employment with the Company more than 50 miles from the employee’s current principal place of business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of Employee’s
duties and responsibilities; provided, however, that no termination shall be for Good Reason unless the Employee has provided the Company with written notice of the conduct alleged to have caused Good Reason within ten (10) days of such conduct
and the Company fails to demonstrate substantial efforts to cure any such alleged conduct within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s receipt of such written notice from Employee. 
 1.10 “Health Insurance Continuation” means that, if Employee, following termination from employment, is eligible for, and timely elects to participate
in, the Company’s group health insurance plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the normal monthly employer’s cost of coverage under the
Company’s group health insurance plans for full-time employees toward such COBRA coverage for the specified period of time, if any, set forth in Article II of this Agreement. If the specified period of time provided for in this Agreement is
longer than the end of the 18-month period for which Employee is eligible for COBRA, the Company will, until the end of such longer period, pay the normal monthly employer’s cost 

 
of coverage under the Company’s group health insurance plans to, at its sole discretion, allow Employee to continue to participate in such plans (if
allowed by law and the Company’s policies, plans and programs) or allow Employee to purchase reasonably comparable individual health insurance coverage through the end of such longer period. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is
responsible for paying the balance of any costs not paid for by the Company under this Agreement which are associated with Employee’s participation in the Company’s health insurance plans or individual health insurance and that
Employee’s failure to pay such costs may result in the termination of Employee’s participation in such plans or insurance. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may deduct from any Severance Payment Employee receives pursuant
to this Agreement, amounts that Employee is responsible to pay for Health Insurance Continuation. Any Health Insurance Continuation provided for herein will cease on the date on which Employee becomes eligible for health insurance coverage under
another employer’s group health insurance plan, and, within five (5) calendar days of Employee becoming eligible for health insurance coverage under another employer’s group health insurance plan, Employee agrees to inform the Company
of such fact in writing. 
 1.11 “Outplacement Services” means outplacement services from an outplacement service company of the
Company’s choosing at a cost not to exceed Twenty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($20,000.00), payable directly to such outplacement service company.

entitled if he/she had worked for the entire fiscal year, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company (pro-rated, as determined by the Company, for the portion of the fiscal year prior to the date of Employee’s termination of
employment).

more of service as an Employee of the Company.

part of its business, the Company has expended a great deal of time, money and effort to develop and maintain confidential, proprietary and trade secret information to compete against similar businesses and that this information, if misused or

reasonable steps during and after Employee’s employment with the Company to make himself/herself available to and to cooperate with the Company, at its request, in connection with any legal proceedings or other matters in which it is or may
