Exhibit 10.8
AMENDMENT TO THE MAY 6, 2003
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN KMART HOLDING CORPORATION AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. DAY
This AMENDMENT TO THE MAY 6, 2003 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN KMART HOLDING CORPORATION AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. DAY is entered into as of
September 10, 2003, between Kmart Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Holding"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Day (the "Executive"), an employee of Kmart
Management Corporation, a Michigan corporation ("Management");
WHEREAS, Kmart Corporation ("Kmart") and the Executive entered into an
employment agreement dated January 17, 2003 (the "Employment Agreement"),
pursuant to which, among other things, Kmart agreed to grant to the Executive a
nonqualified option to purchase a number of shares of its common stock
representing one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the fully diluted equity of
Kmart as of the Restructuring Date (as that term is defined in the Employment
Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provided that the option would be
granted under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an equity incentive
plan to be adopted by Kmart in connection with its emergence from bankruptcy
(the "Initial Option");
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement
dated May 6, 2003, by and among Holding, Management, Kmart and the Executive, it
was acknowledged and agreed that the Initial Option would relate to shares of
common stock of Holding;
WHEREAS, as of May 6, 2003, Holding had not adopted an equity incentive
plan under which the Initial Option may be granted, but Holding nevertheless
desired to grant such Option to the Executive;
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2003, Holding and Executive anticipated that the
number of shares of its common stock representing one and one-half percent
(1.5%) of the fully diluted equity of Holding would be 1,709,498;
WHEREAS, accordingly, on May 6, 2003, Holding and Executive entered
into a NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT pursuant to which Holding granted to
the Executive a nonqualified stock option to purchase an aggregate of 1,709,498
shares of Holding's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on the terms and
conditions set forth therein (the "May 6, 2003 Agreement");
WHEREAS, Holding and Executive now agree that their initial assumption
- that the number of shares of its common stock representing one and one-half
percent (1.5%) of the fully diluted equity of Holding would be 1,709,498 - was
incorrect due to a mistaken assumption about the number of shares of Holding's
common stock that would be issued;
WHEREAS, Holding and Executive now agree that the number of shares of
its common stock representing one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the fully
diluted equity of Holding would actually be 1,557,760;
WHEREAS, Holding and Executive therefore agree that of the 1,709,498
shares of Holding's common stock that were subject to the May 6, 2003 Agreement,
151,738 of said shares (the difference between 1,709,498 and 1,557,760)
constitute excess shares that should not have been included in the May 6, 2003
Agreement (the "Excess Options");
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this AMENDMENT to the May 6,
2003 Agreement to: (a) correct the error set forth in their May 6, 2003
Agreement; (b) AMEND and MODIFY their May 6,
2003 Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 18 thereof by, inter alia, setting forth
the correct number of shares; and (c) cancel the 151,738 Excess Options.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do
hereby agree as follows:
