Explanation of Responses:

1. As part of an internal restructuring by the Reporting Persons that occurred on June 2, 2010, ESL Partners, L.P. ("Partners") distributed these shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Shares"), of Sears Holdings Corporation (the "Issuer") to its general partner, RBS Partners, L.P. ("RBS"). RBS then immediately distributed 3,721,085 of these Shares to Edward S. Lampert and 77,470 of these Shares to William C. Crowley. Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley are parties to an agreement with Partners that generally requires Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley to sell these Shares received, and to make certain purchases of additional Shares of the Issuer, on a pro rata basis with Partners, at the same time and on substantially the same economic terms and conditions (subject to certain legal, tax, accounting or regulatory considerations).

2. The internal restructuring transactions described herein will result in direct ownership by Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley of a portion of their respective indirect ownership interests in the Issuer. Specifically, Partners is making a partial distribution to RBS based on RBS's pro rata share of the assets of Partners. Of that distribution, a portion of the Shares indirectly owned by Mr. Lampert will initially be retained by ESL Partners and, upon expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Approval"), will be distributed to RBS, which in turn will make a distribution to Mr. Lampert. Filing for HSR Approval is expected to be made shortly.

3. As a result of this internal restructuring, both after the distribution of Shares reflected in this filing, and after the additional distribution of Shares to Mr. Lampert upon receiving HSR Approval, the combined direct and indirect ownership of Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley in the Issuer, and the pecuniary interest of each of Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley in the Issuer, will not change.

4. These Shares are held by Tynan, LLC, ("Tynan") a limited liability company of which Mr. Crowley is the sole member.

5. This Form 4 is filed on behalf of Mr. Crowley. Mr. Crowley is the President and Chief Operating Officer of ESL Investments, Inc. ("Investments") which together with various of its affiliates beneficially owns securities of the Issuer. Mr. Crowley disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Investments and Mr. Lampert. Mr. Lampert is separately filing a Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 in connection with these transactions and disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities beneficially owned by Mr. Crowley.

Remarks:

Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein only to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities reported herein in excess of such amount.
