ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE 13 AND 39 WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 29, 2011 AND OCTOBER 30, 2010

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the “Company”) is a specialty retailer primarily focused on homeowners with repair, maintenance and improvement needs. Founded as a purchasing cooperative in San Jose in 1931, as of October 29, 2011, the Company operated 89 full-service hardware stores in California.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company and its subsidiaries, Orchard Supply Hardware LLC (“OSH LLC”), OSH Properties LLC (“OSH Properties”), and OSH Finance Corporation. Unless otherwise specified, all references to the “Company” refer to Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation and subsidiaries without audit and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks then ended, and cash flows for the 39 weeks then ended. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2011, presented herein, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then ended.

Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, which were included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed in June 2011, as amended (the “Registration Statement”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including notes thereto contained in the above mentioned Company’s Form S-1.

The results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Spin-off from Sears Holdings — The Company filed the Registration Statement in connection with the planned distribution (the “Distribution”) by Sears Holdings Corporation (“Sears Holdings”) to its shareholders of all the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) to be held by Sears Holdings immediately prior to the Distribution. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 12, 2011 and the close of business on December 16, 2011 was set as the record date for the Distribution. The Distribution will be effective as of 11:59 p.m., New York City Time on December 30, 2011, which the Company refers to hereinafter as the “Distribution Date.”

On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Sears Holdings, which sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement will also govern certain aspects of the Company’s ongoing relationship with Sears Holdings following the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement provides that prior to the Distribution the following actions will occur:

 

   

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into the Company, and, through that merger, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will become effective;

 

   

The Company will cause to become effective its amended and restated bylaws;

 

   

An Affiliate of Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund (“ACOF”) will exchange its shares of Class A Common Stock for an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock;

 

   

The Company will file a certificate of designation to create, and will subsequently issue to Sears Roebuck, the Preferred Stock; and

 

   

Sears Roebuck will distribute to Sears Holdings all of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock that Sears Roebuck owns.

All agreements, arrangements, commitments and understandings between the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the one hand, and Sears Holdings and its other subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the other hand, will terminate effective as of the Distribution, except certain agreements and arrangements that the Company and Sears Holdings expressly provide will survive the Distribution.

The Distribution Agreement governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the proposed Distribution. Prior to the spin-off, Sears Holdings will deliver all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to the distribution agent. At the Distribution, the distribution agent will electronically deliver the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to entitled Sears Holdings shareholders based on the applicable distribution ratio. Sears Holdings will have the sole and absolute discretion to determine the terms of, and whether to proceed with, the Distribution.

Transition Service Arrangements — The Company does not maintain all of its own legal, tax, and certain other corporate support functions. In connection with a series of recapitalization transactions in November 2005, Sears Holdings and the Company entered into a series of annual shared services agreements (the “Transaction Service Agreement”) to provide the Company with certain corporate support services while the Company builds its own stand-alone corporate support functions. The costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The methods by which Sears Holdings allocates its costs are based on a

 

6


Table of Contents

prorated estimate of costs expected to be incurred by Sears Holdings. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a stand-alone company during all periods presented. The Company has not included an estimate of what these costs would have been on a stand-alone basis because it is not practicable to do so. The Company does not expect the allocated expenses for these functions on a stand-alone basis to be materially different than what is reflected in its historical financial statements.

Effective with the Distribution, the Company entered into a transition service agreement (the “Transition Service Agreement”) which superceded the Transaction Service Agreement with Sears Holdings whereby Sears Holdings will continue to provide to the Company the same services provided prior to the Distribution and still needed by the Company and to enable the Company to retain access to various other third-party services until the Company is able to set up its stand-alone corporate functions and/or contract with third-party service providers. The services provided under the Transition Service Agreement will be individually terminable upon 60 days notification by the Company. All services to be provided under the Transition Service Agreement will terminate upon the first anniversary of the effective date of the Transition Services Agreement. The Company does not expect the costs incurred under the Transition Service Agreement to differ materially from the costs incurred under the Transaction Service Agreement.

Stock split — On December 8, 2011, the Company completed a 6-for-1 stock split of its common stock. The stock split increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 1.0 million to approximately 6.0 million. All share and per share amounts herein are presented on a post-stock split basis.

Segment Reporting — The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s operations include activities related to its stores that are all located in California.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Vendor Rebates and Allowances — The Company receives various vendor-funded rebates and allowances through a variety of programs and arrangements intended to offset the Company’s costs of promoting and selling certain vendor products. These vendor payments are recorded as a reduction to the cost of merchandise inventories when earned and, thereafter, as a reduction of cost of sales, as the merchandise is sold. Up-front consideration received from vendors linked to purchases or other commitments is deferred until performance of the specified activity is deemed to be complete. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively. Vendor rebates and allowances deferred at October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 were $11.2 million, $11.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively, and are included as a reduction to merchandise inventories in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Assets available for sale — Assets that have met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC 360-10-45 are recorded at fair value within prepaid expenses and other current assets within the balance sheet of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. At October 29, 2011, the Company had $2.6 million of assets held for sale. There were no assets classified as held for sale at January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

Leases — The Company leases certain stores, office facilities, computers, and transportation equipment. The determination of operating and capital lease obligations is based upon the expected terms of the lease, and the contractual minimum lease payments as defined within the lease agreements. The Company may enter into sale-leaseback agreements to sell certain facilities and lease them back consistent with their current operational use. If the lease under a new agreement is determined to be a capital lease, any gain or loss on the sale would be amortized in proportion to the amortization of the leased asset over the life of the lease. If the new lease is an operating lease, any gain would be amortized in proportion to the gross rent charged to expense over the lease term and any loss on the sale of the asset would be recognized immediately.

On October 24, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company sold for $21.2 million, net of fees, all of its interest in its distribution center located in Tracy, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 458,000 square feet and the underlying land. In connection with the sale of the distribution center, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the distribution center. The commencement date of the lease was October 28, 2011. The lease is for a 20-year period and provides for three five-year extension options. The initial base rent under the lease is $1.7 million per year with 10% increases every five years. The Company recorded a non-cash loss of $14.3 million on the sale of the distribution center for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011. The Company will continue to operate the facility consistent with its existing use throughout the lease term.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) — The Company computes and reports both basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the total potential dilution that could occur from outstanding equity plan awards, including unexercised stock options.

There are no dilutive common stock equivalents, and therefore basic and dilutive EPS are the same for all periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for

 

7


Table of Contents

measuring fair value in GAAP and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current assets, merchandise payables, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value. Based on borrowing rates available to the Company, the carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximated their fair value at October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011, and October 30, 2010.

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company did not record any impairment for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

The Company was not required to measure any other significant non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value as of October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update to revise the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This guidance requires entities to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) along with a total for OCI, and a total amount for comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This accounting standards update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the provisions of this accounting standards update in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This amendment will change the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 29, 2012. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Senior Secured Credit Facility — On December 21, 2006, OSH LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Replaced Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Replaced Facility provided revolving availability of up to $130 million (subject to borrowing base limits and fixed charge coverage ratio) for a period of five years, maturing on December 21, 2011. On January 29, 2010, OSH LLC amended and restated and extended the Replaced Facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and reduced the revolving availability down to $120.0 million (subject to borrowing base

limits). The amendment bifurcated the facility into a $20.0 million tranche maturing December 21, 2011 with lenders who elected not to extend and a $100.0 million tranche maturing on the earlier to occur of 90 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loan and December 21, 2013 with lenders who elected to extend. As of January 29, 2011, $48.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $8.0 million due in December 2011 and approximately $40.0 million due in December 2013. As of October 29, 2011, $32.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $5.3 million due in December 2011 and approximately $26.7 million due in December 2013. The Company anticipates repaying $20.0 million on the Senior Secured Credit Facility within the next 12 months. The Company intends to draw funds from extending lenders to repay amounts due to non-extending lenders.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also permits the ability to obtain letters of credit. As of October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, there were $8.1 million, $7.3 million and $7.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of (i) 90% of eligible credit card accounts receivable plus (ii) 80% of other eligible accounts receivable plus (iii) the lesser of (x) 70% of eligible inventory (valued at the lower of cost, on a first in first out basis, or market value) or (y) 85% of the appraised net ordinary liquidation value of eligible inventory. The Company must deliver borrowing base certificates and reports at least monthly. The borrowing base also may be subject to certain other adjustments and reserves to be determined by the agent. As of October 29, 2011, there was $70.9 million available to borrow under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility places various restrictions on OSH LLC and Guarantors, including, but not limited to, limitations on their ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, or make distributions, sell assets, or make investments.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility required OSH LLC and the Guarantors to meet specific covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio that is triggered when availability reaches a minimum threshold for three consecutive days. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are also subject to a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1 to 1. At any time the fixed charge coverage ratio falls below 1.1, the Company can only borrow up to 90% of the available borrowing base. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

Senior Secured Term Loan — On December 21, 2006, OSH LLC entered into a $200 million senior secured term loan agreement (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), which requires quarterly principal paydowns (the “Mandatory Payments”) of $0.5 million and has a seven-year term, maturing on December 21, 2013. On January 28, 2011, OSH LLC entered into the first amendment to the Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan First Amendment”), which resulted in changes to the maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant (the “Leverage Covenant”), applicable interest rates, definition of EBITDA and excess cash flow prepayment percentage rate.

In addition to the Mandatory Payments, the Company is required to make annual repayments on the Senior Secured Term Loan equal to a defined percentage rate (determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio) of excess cash flows. In accordance with the Senior Secured Term Loan First Amendment, the defined percentage rate of excess cash flows was increased to 75% from 50%. The Company did not make any prepayments pursuant to this requirement in fiscal 2010 or fiscal 2011 and does not anticipate paying any prepayments under this requirement in fiscal 2012.

The Senior Secured Term Loan places various restrictions on OSH LLC and the Guarantors, including, but not limited to, limitations on their ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, make distributions, sell assets or make investments. The Senior Secured Term Loan requires OSH LLC and the Guarantors to meet specific covenants, including the Leverage Covenant. The Company was in compliance with the Senior Secured Term Loan Leverage Covenants during the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 and all of fiscal 2010.

Real Estate Secured Term Loan — In October 2010, OSH Properties entered into a $50 million real estate secured loan (the “Real Estate Secured Term Loan”) with a group of lenders that required quarterly payments of $0.1 million and that matures in December 2013. On February 17, 2011, OSH Properties entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which raised the maximum thresholds, as defined by the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, on the Leverage Covenant for certain periods and amended the definition of EBITDA. On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which, among other things, lowered the minimum principal amount required under the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which allowed the Company to conduct certain sale and leaseback transactions described in Note 7 below.

The Real Estate Secured Term Loan requires the Company to meet the Leverage Covenant, subject to maximum thresholds established by the Real Estate Secured Term Loan. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the first, second, and third quarters of fiscal 2011 and all of fiscal 2010.

Table of Contents

Change in Control — The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan each contain an event of default resulting from a change of control, which includes the following: (i) certain mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of OSH LLC and OSH LLC’s subsidiaries to persons other than ACOF, ESL Investments, Inc. (“ESL”) and Sears Holdings; (ii) adoption of a plan of liquidation of OSH LLC; (iii) prior to an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF ceasing to collectively hold directly or indirectly at least 50% of the total voting power of all shares of the Company and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock; (iv) following an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, a person or group, other than Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF, collectively holding directly or indirectly at least 40% of the total voting power of all shares of the Company and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock and Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF collectively holding less than such person or group; and (v) the Company’s board of directors not consisting of continuing directors (“Change in Control”).

If, following the Distribution, one or both of ESL and ACOF dispose of all or part of their shareholding in the Company such that their combined total voting power drops below 50%, this may trigger a Change in Control event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan. An event of default could trigger certain acceleration clauses and cause those and the Company’s other obligations to become immediately due and payable and the Company may not have sufficient cash funds available to repay its debt obligations upon such a Change in Control.

Immediately following the Distribution:

 

   

Sears Holdings will not own any capital stock of the Company;

 

   

ESL will beneficially own approximately 61% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 49% of the general voting power of its capital stock; and

 

   

ACOF will beneficially own 100% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock and approximately 20% of the general voting power of its capital stock.

Neither ESL nor ACOF have agreed to maintain their shareholding in the Company following the Distribution.

 

4. LIQUIDITY

The Company’s liquidity is dependent upon the continued availability of borrowings under its current financing arrangements. As discussed in Note 3, the Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan are subject to certain financial and other covenants. As of October 29, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under its financing arrangements, and the Company currently believes that it will continue to be in compliance with these covenants through at least the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. However, the decline in the Company’s operating results for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, coupled with continued economic weakness in the markets in which the Company operates, has adversely impacted the Company’s prospective compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Term Loan. On October 24, 2011, in order to reduce the Company’s leverage, a subsidiary of the Company sold its distribution center located in Tracy, California for cash proceeds of $21.2 million, net of fees and on October 26, 2011, the Company entered into the Appliances Agreement with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings that the Company had planned to enter into at the Distribution, pursuant to which it transferred certain inventory purchased from Sears Holdings to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings, for $1.9 million in cash. Additional actions taken by the Company to further reduce the Company’s leverage include, on December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California and on December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in three properties occupied by its stores located in Pismo Beach, California, Cottle Road in San Jose, California, and Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California.

Table of Contents

The Company utilized $21.6 million of the proceeds received in the sale and leaseback transactions to pay-down its Real Estate Secured Term Loan and expects to utilize the remainder of the proceeds to pay-down its Senior Secured Term Loan. In connection with that pay-down, the Company expects to enter into an agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company’s Senior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, extend the maturity date to December 21, 2015 and to secure improved financial covenants and to make certain other technical amendments.

If the agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company’s Senior Secured Term Loan does not occur, the Company seeks to remain in compliance with its financing arrangements and generate sufficient liquidity by executing its sales growth strategy by, among other things, making improvements to its stores and store operations and upgrading and differentiating its product assortment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company continues to examine a number of alternatives with respect to future compliance and liquidity, including asset sales and/or sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, if necessary or advisable, the Company may seek to further renegotiate its financing arrangements in order to remain in compliance while continuing to follow its current business plan, which includes plans for store expansion. In such case, if such renegotiations were necessary but unsuccessful, the Company would expect to take certain actions that would allow it to remain in compliance. Such actions could include, among others, a reduction of capital expenditures by delaying or reducing new store openings and store remodels, a reduction in payroll and benefit costs, deferring certain maintenance and other expenditures, as well as generating additional cash through sale or sale leaseback of certain real estate assets in order to reduce leverage. However, the implementation of these actions could result in slower growth and could potentially reduce future sales.

Notwithstanding the Company’s expectations, if operating results were to continue to decline or if market conditions were to worsen, the Company may be unable to meet its financial covenants, and lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under its financing agreements. Under such circumstances, no assurances can be given that the Company’s financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict its business operations.

 

5. RELATED-PARTY AGREEMENTS

The Company purchases Sears Holdings exclusive brands such as Craftsman, Kenmore, Easy Living, and Weatherbeater directly from Sears Holdings and outside vendors. Purchases of these exclusive brands for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 are as follows (in millions):

For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company purchased approximately $3.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of merchandise directly from Sears Holdings, which represented 56% of total purchases of the exclusive brands for each period. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company purchased approximately $3.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of merchandise directly from Sears Holdings, which represented 49% and 44%, respectively, of total purchases of the exclusive brands.

Concurrent with the Recapitalization, the Company and Sears Holdings entered into various agreements, including an appliance sales agreement (the “Appliance Sales Agreement”) and a brand sales agreement (the “Brand Sales Agreement”) (collectively, the “Agreements”). The salient terms of the Agreements between the Company and Sears Holdings, all of which have an effective date of November 23, 2005, are as follows:

Appliance Sales Agreement — In 2005, the Company entered into an Appliances Sales Agreement with Sears Holdings that granted the Company the right to purchase from Sears Holdings and to sell certain major branded appliances, including major Kenmore-branded appliances (the “Products”). The Company is permitted to sell the Products at currently identified retail locations and if approved by Sears Holdings, at additional retail locations (the “Appliance Stores”). The price paid by the Company for Products purchased from Sears Holdings equals Sears Holdings’ cost for such Products. If the Appliance Sales Agreement is terminated by Sears Holdings, Sears Holdings has the right, but not an obligation, to purchase all Products held in the Company’s inventory at the last price such Products were sold to the Company. In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly monitoring fee per Appliance Store to Sears Holdings, which currently approximates $0.1 million per year.

In accordance with Sears Holdings’ policy, the Company is entitled to receive from Sears Holdings an allocation of vendor subsidies earned from the purchase of appliances made on behalf of the Company. These vendor subsidies are based on contractual relationships established between Sears Holdings and the vendor and are applicable only to purchases made by Sears Holdings. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in vendor subsidies. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in vendor subsidies.

The agreement from 2005 was terminated on October 26, 2011, when the Company entered into a new appliances agreement (the “Appliances Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings pursuant to which Sears Holdings has authorized the Company to sell the Products and related protection agreements on a consignment basis as a distributor through its designated retail locations. The Appliances Agreement requires that Sears Holdings pay the Company commissions on the Company’s sales of the Products and the protection agreements for the Products. Commissions for Products varies by Product category and Sears Holdings may in its sole discretion modify from time to time the commission rate for each category of Product but the annual weighted-average aggregate commission rate for all categories of Products for each Sears Holdings fiscal year for the Sears Holdings Authorized Hometown Stores as a group, including the Company, will not be less than a specified rate. The products include specified categories of Kenmore, Bosch, Electrolux, GE, LG, Samsung and Whirlpool branded appliances. The agreement generally incorporates arm’s length terms and conditions, including market-based pricing and term of duration.

Under the Appliances Agreement, the Company transferred to Sears Holdings its entire inventory of major appliances purchased from Sears Holdings for $1.9 million in cash on October 27, 2011, which represented the Company’s cost of the purchased appliances, subject to adjustments based on, among other things, the results of a physical inventory of the purchased appliances and the cost of certain clearance markdowns realized by Sears Holdings during the 60-day period following the effective date of the Appliances Agreement.

The Appliances Agreement has a term of five years. The Company may terminate the Appliances Agreement early for convenience after the first 18 months of the Appliances Agreement or if Sears Holdings fails to comply with any of its material obligations in the Appliances Agreement and the failure remains uncured for 30 days or more following notice. Sears Holdings may terminate the Appliances Agreement early for its convenience by delivering six months’ prior written notice to the Company after the first anniversary of the effective date of the Appliances Agreement or if (a) with respect to a Sears Holdings’ fiscal quarter, the Company sales of Products during the fiscal quarter are not at least 70% of the Company sales of Products during the same fiscal quarter in the prior year or (b) the Company fails to comply with any of its material obligations in the Agreement and the failure remains uncured for 30 days or more following notice. The Appliances Agreement provides that during its term of the Appliances Agreement, the Company will not be able to operate in California other businesses that sell merchandise similar to the Products. The Appliances Agreement also provides that for two years following the end of the term, the Company will not be able to operate a business that competes with Sears Holdings Businesses at, or within ten miles of, its retail locations that sold Products at any time during the term.

Brand Sales Agreement — In 2005, Sears Holdings granted the Company the right to purchase from Sears Holdings and its approved vendors, as well as to sell certain additional products, which include products marketed under Sears Holdings’ exclusive brands, such as Craftsman, Easy Living and Weatherbeater (the “Additional Products”). The price paid by the Company for the Additional Products purchased from Sears Holdings equals Sears Holdings’ cost for such Products.

Table of Contents

The agreement from 2005 will be terminated on the Distribution Date, when the Company enters into new brands license agreements (the “Brands Agreements”) with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings to be effective at the Distribution pursuant to which Sears Holdings will allow the Company to purchase a limited assortment of Craftsman products, Easy Living and Weatherbeater paints, Kenmore-branded water heaters and consumer household products directly from vendors. Under the Brands Agreements, the Company will pay specified license fees to Sears Holdings. The Brands Agreements generally will incorporate arm’s length terms and conditions, including market-based pricing and term of duration. Each of the Brands Agreements is expected to have a three-year term and may be extended subject to the mutual agreement of the parties. If the aggregate of the Company’s Craftsman product sales over any 12-month period falls by more than 25% below the preceding 12-month period following the second anniversary of the Distribution, Sears Holdings will be permitted to terminate that Brands Agreement in its sole discretion with 60 days’ notice.

For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in royalty expenses. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in royalty expenses.

Stockholders’ Agreement — In November 2005, the Company entered into a stockholders’ agreement with Sears Roebuck and ACOF that was amended and restated as of January 8, 2008 (the “Existing Stockholders’ Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Stockholders’ Agreement, certain of the Company’s preferred stock is issuable to Sears Roebuck. The Company, Sears Holdings and ACOF have agreed that this preferred stock will be issued to Sears Roebuck in the form of the preferred stock described herein, and that Sears Holdings will thereafter distribute such preferred stock to its shareholders in the Distribution. The Existing Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for certain transfer restrictions, governance provisions, registration rights and other matters.

In connection with the Distribution, the Company, ESL, Edward S. Lampert, William C. Crowley and ACOF will amend and restate the Existing Stockholders’ Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), and Sears Roebuck will cease to be a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Existing Stockholders’ Agreement will be terminated and superseded by the provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agreement will be effective immediately following the Distribution and will provide certain rights and obligations to the parties thereto.

 

6. CONTINGENCIES

On April 1, 2011, a judgment for $5.1 million by the California Superior Court was entered against the Company in favor of Save Mart Supermarkets (“Save Mart”). The Company recorded a $5.1 million liability and expense in selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 29, 2011. On August 24, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart (the “Settlement Agreement”) to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release the Company of all liabilities, and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The Settlement includes three parts: 1) a $0.5 million cash consideration payable to Save Mart, 2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and the Company, and 3) the lease of a new property to the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the $0.5 million cash consideration and recorded a $1.6 million reduction to this liability, which is classified as a reduction to selling and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Based on the information currently available, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 31,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 8,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the

underlying land. In connection with the closing of the sale, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the Hollywood store. The term of the lease began on December 12, 2011 and may be terminated on January 1, 2014, upon six months notice by the Company. The lease may also terminate upon two months notice from the landlord at any time except during February through June of each year. The Company will continue to operate the facility consistent with its existing use throughout the term. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the financial impact of these transactions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in the properties occupied by (i) its store located in Pismo Beach, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 34,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 6,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land, (ii) its store located on Cottle Road in San Jose, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 38,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 9,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land and (iii) its store located on Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 42,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 11,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land. In connection with the closing of the sale, a subsidiary of the Company entered into lease agreements with respect to each of the stores. The term of the Pismo Beach store lease is 16 years, the others are 18 years, beginning on December 20, 2011. The Company will continue to operate the facilities consistent with its existing use throughout the term of each lease. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the financial impact of these transactions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The aggregate purchase price received from these four properties was approximately $36 million. The Company expects to pay $3.2 million of additional rent annually with respect to the four leases.

On December 16, 2011, the Company’s Board and the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and forms of Restricted Stock Agreement and Time-Based Option Agreement for use under the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock in connection with the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, dividend equivalents, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a specialty retailer primarily focused on homeowners with repair, maintenance and improvement needs. Founded as a purchasing cooperative in San Jose in 1931, as of October 29, 2011, we operated 89 full-service hardware stores in California. Our stores average approximately 43,600 square feet of enclosed space plus approximately 8,300 square feet of nursery and garden area, carrying a broad assortment of merchandise across three primary categories: repair and maintenance, lawn and garden and in-home products. The stores are easy to navigate and convenient to shop, designed to appeal to do-it-yourself customers for home repair and maintenance. We also serve the small professional customer whose purchases are largely motivated by a need for incremental supplies and tools to complete construction projects. We offer customers a unique value proposition comprised of service, selection and convenience. We believe we are California’s “large hardware store.”

Fiscal 2011 represents the year ending January 28, 2012 and fiscal 2010 represents the year ended January 29, 2011.

2011 Third Quarter Financial Highlights

 

   

For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, net sales were $158.7 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 2.7% as compared to net sales of $154.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by increased demand for seasonal products. Additionally, net sales were positively impacted by the relocation of an existing store.

 

   

Comparable store sales increased by 1.5%, which was driven by an increase of 4.8% in average ticket comparables offset by a decline in comparable transaction volume of 3.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

   

Gross margin of $51.5 million, or 32.5% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $51.7 million, or 33.5% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in occupancy costs and inventory shrink costs.

 

   

Merchandise inventory was $161.2 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 2.5% as compared to merchandise inventory of $165.4 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

   

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we relocated one store in San Jose, California to open our new flagship store prototype.

2011 Third Quarter Business Highlights

We are in the midst of positioning ourselves for future growth and long-term stockholder value. In fiscal 2011, we started to lay the foundation to set us in a new direction to develop and evolve the Orchard brand and implement new business strategies that we believe will lead to positive financial impacts. We are focused on five key initiatives:

 

   

Project a consistent and compelling brand identity;

 

   

Drive sales and improve operational efficiencies;

 

   

Build, develop, and align our talent;

Table of Contents
   

Complete our spin-off from Sears Holdings; and

 

   

Strengthen our financial position.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2011, we have made strong progress in all of these areas. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, in particular, some specific achievements in these areas included:

Brand Identity. We opened our flagship store in Princeton Plaza in San Jose, California. This new store prototype offers an updated and innovative customer-friendly design to showcase our merchandise and service offerings. We expect to remodel select existing stores to further test the new prototype in 2012 and we will evaluate the results to determine longer-term remodeling plans. We also began a new and comprehensive product line review process to strengthen our product assortment and optimize margins as we enhance our customers’ shopping experience.

Sales and Operational Efficiencies. With a goal of putting our customers first and simplifying and enhancing the deployment of our associates in our stores for sales activities, we implemented a zone coverage in-store structure and “armed” our associates with radio communications devices to quickly contact other associates in the store. We believe these actions have helped to drive an increase in average ticket. Sales momentum was also helped by more effective promotional initiatives.

Talent Development. We streamlined our field organization into four geographic regions, led by four newly-hired Regional Vice Presidents, to drive faster decision making with greater accountability and alignment. We also continued to focus on attracting and retaining quality store managers. In anticipation of, and to prepare for, the spin-off, we also hired a new Chief Financial Officer and a new General Counsel.

Spin-off. The spin-off from Sears Holdings is scheduled to occur on December 30, 2011.

Financial Position. We entered into a sale-leaseback transaction involving our distribution center in Tracy, California. This transaction allowed us to repay a portion of our debt and reduce the leverage under our financial loan covenants. We also negotiated lease amendments for our corporate headquarters (store support center) and one other store and, as part of those lease amendments, received tenant improvement allowances to help upgrade and remodel those properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our results of operations are presented using key accounting policies that are further described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011. Key definitions include:

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenues from merchandise sales at the later of point of sale or delivery of goods to customers. Merchandise sales are reported net of estimated returns and allowances and customer rebates, excluding sales taxes. The reserve for returns and allowances is calculated as a percentage of sales based on historical return percentages. Net sales are presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. We also record deferred revenue for the sale of gift cards and recognize this revenue upon the redemption of the gift cards. Comparable sales figures are defined as follows:

 

  1. Comparable store sales. Measured by the increase or decrease in net sales year over year, excluding new and closed stores and E-commerce.

 

  2. Comparable transaction volume. Derived from the increase or decrease in the number of transactions year over year, excluding new and closed stores and E-commerce.

 

  3. Average ticket comparables. Derived using net sales divided by the number of transactions year over year.

A store is included in the calculation of comparable metrics above if it has been opened for at least 12 months, including relocated and remodeled stores. The key metrics discussed above are intended only as supplemental information and are not a substitute for information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Cost of Sales — Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise, distribution, warehousing and delivery costs and store occupancy costs, offset by vendor allowances and rebates received by us.

Table of Contents

Gross Margin — Gross margin is defined as net sales, less cost of sales.

Selling and Administrative Expenses — Selling and administrative expenses primarily include selling and support payroll, advertising and other administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization — Our buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the original term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Our property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives:

 

Asset type

  

Life

Buildings and leasehold improvements

   15 – 40 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

     3 – 10 years

Income Taxes — The tax balances and income tax expense recognized by us are based on management’s interpretation of the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. Income tax expense also reflects our best estimates and assumptions regarding, among other things, the level of future taxable income, interpretation of the tax laws and tax planning. Future changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could affect the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by us. We provide deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws.

Adjusted EBITDA — In addition to our net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating operating performance, we use an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is adjusted to exclude certain significant items as set forth below. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as executive compensation metrics, for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or other third parties as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions as it excludes a number of important cash and non-cash recurring items. The Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP measurements.

While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, management believes that it is an important indicator of operating performance because:

 

   

EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation costs;

 

   

Management considers gain/(loss) on the sale of assets and impairment to result from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and

 

   

Other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results.

The Adjusted EBITDA is not the same as the EBITDA as defined Senior Secured Term Loan.

Other significant items include certain reserves and charges not in the normal course of our operations periodically affecting the comparability of our results. We recorded a $0.4 million severance charge in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 due to changes in our management structure. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded a $5.1 million legal judgment pursuant to the Save Mart case and $0.5 million in fees. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we reversed $0.5 million of the Save Mart accrual as we no longer expected to pay the fees. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Save Mart and reversed $1.6 million of this accrual.

Impact from the Spin-Off

Following the Distribution, we will operate as a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, which will have a range of impacts on our operations. Historically, we have used the corporate functions of Sears Holdings for a variety of services. We expect to incur increased costs as a result of becoming a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, primarily from higher charges than in the past from Sears Holdings for transition services and from establishing or expanding the corporate support for our business, including information technology, human resources, treasury, tax, risk management, accounting and financial reporting, investor relations, legal, procurement and other services. In addition, we have historically procured appliances and other merchandise from Sears Holdings pursuant to agreements between us and Sears Holdings. We will continue to procure merchandise from Sears Holdings, but will now sell certain appliances and related protection agreements supplied to us by Sears Holdings on a consignment basis, which we expect will result in a reduction in net sales and net income. We also expect an impact on prices for goods and services purchased from third parties as a result of the loss of pricing benefits as a result of Sears Holdings’ buying volume and processes.

13-week period ended October 29, 2011 compared to the 13-week period ended October 30, 2010

Net sales

Net sales increased $4.2 million, or 2.7%, to $158.7 million for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to $154.5 million for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in our lawn and garden category, a $1.6 million increase in our repair and maintenance category, and a $0.7 million increase in our in-home category. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by increased demand for seasonal products. Additionally, net sales were positively impacted by the relocation and opening of our new store prototype in Princeton Plaza in San Jose, California.

Our comparable store sales increased by 1.5% for the quarter ended October 29, 2011. The increase in comparable store sales was driven by an increase of 4.8% in average ticket comparables offset by a decrease in comparable transaction volume of 3.3% for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended October 30, 2010. We believe the higher average ticket was driven by the sale of bigger ticket items such as appliances, barbeques, and furniture, and the decline in transaction volume was in part due to the continued weakness in consumer demand from volatility in the capital markets and uncertainty around the macro-economic and political environments.

Gross margin

Gross margin decreased $0.2 million to $51.5 million, or 32.5% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to $51.7 million, or 33.5% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The decrease of 100 basis points in gross margin was primarily due to higher occupancy costs of 120 basis points. The increase in occupancy was due to rent associated with renegotiated leases, increased store maintenance, and increased insurance reserves as compared to the third quarter in fiscal 2010.

Selling and administrative

Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million for the quarter ended October 29, 2011 to $40.8 million, or 25.7% of net sales, from $40.3 million, or 26.1% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in contract services and temporary labor to execute key strategic initiatives and $0.5 million in transition costs related to the spin-off in the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended October 30, 2010. These increases were offset by a non-cash $1.6 million legal benefit as a result of the Settlement Agreement with Save Mart.

Loss on sale of real property

On October 24, 2011, we sold our distribution center located in Tracy, California and recorded a non-cash loss of $14.3 million in connection with the sale.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.1 million to $7.7 million, or 4.9% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to $7.8 million, or 5.0% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The slight decrease of $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase in fully depreciated assets.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $1.4 million to $5.7 million, or 3.6% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to $4.3 million, or 2.8% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily due to the increase in our applicable interest rate spreads as a result of the amendment of both our Senior Secured Term Loan and our Real Estate Secured Term Loan.

Income taxes

Income tax benefit increased $6.7 million to $7.0 million for an effective tax rate of 40.8%, for the quarter ended October 29, 2011, as compared to $0.3 million, for an effective tax rate of 39.0%, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to differences in tax credits applicable year over year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.4 million to $9.3 million, or 5.9% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 29, 2011 as compared to $11.7 million, or 7.5% of net sales, for the quarter ended October 30, 2010. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million was primarily due to the increased spending on strategic initiatives and transition costs.

39-week period ended October 29, 2011 compared to the 39-week period ended October 30, 2010

Net sales

Net sales decreased $0.3 million, or 0.1%, to $518.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to $519.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a $1.9 million decline in our repair and maintenance category and a $1.6 million decline in our lawn and garden category, both of which were impacted by unfavorable weather during the months of March and June 2011. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase of approximately $3.2 million of net sales in our in-home category, which was primarily driven by appliances. For the majority of the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we have approximately doubled the number of stores offering appliances as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Our comparable store sales decreased by 1.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The decrease in comparable store sales was driven by a decline in comparable transaction volume of 5.1%, partially offset by an increase of 3.7% in average ticket comparables for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. We believe the decline in transaction volume was primarily due to unfavorable weather during the months of March and June 2011, as well as continued weakness in consumer demand resulting from volatility in the capital markets and uncertainty around the macro-economic and political environments. Our average ticket benefited from the sale of bigger ticket items, such as appliances, barbeques and furniture.

Gross margin

Gross margin decreased $8.7 million to $172.5 million, or 33.2% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to $181.2 million, or 34.9% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease of 170 basis points in gross margin was primarily due to increases of 60 basis points in markdowns, 70 basis points in occupancy costs, and 40 basis points in inventory shrink costs. The increase in markdowns was primarily due to increased clearance and promotional activities to clear slow moving inventory and increase sales. Occupancy costs for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were higher as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010 due to a favorable deferred rent adjustment in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Inventory shrink increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period last year due to previous reductions in store staffing.

Selling and administrative

Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to $131.1 million, or 25.3% of net sales, from $125.4 million, or 24.2% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to a

 

20


Table of Contents

$3.0 million increase in contract services and temporary labor to execute key strategic initiatives. Insurance costs also increased by approximately $1.3 million as a result of increases in casualty claim reserves. Other administrative costs increased approximately $3.0 million due to increased travel, display costs, and direct marketing, as well as transition costs related to the spin-off in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase was partially offset by a non-cash legal benefit of $1.6 million as a result of the Settlement Agreement with Save Mart.

Loss on sale of real property

On October 24, 2011, we sold our distribution center located in Tracy, California and we recorded a non-cash loss of $14.3 million in connection with the sale.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.7 million to $22.4 million, or 4.3% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $23.1 million, or 4.4% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due to a capital lease conversion in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and an increase in fully depreciated assets in the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $4.0 million to $16.8 million, or 3.2% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to $12.8 million, or 2.5% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in interest expense as a result of higher interest rate spreads from the amendment of both the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Secured Term Loan. In addition, amortization of deferred financing costs increased by $0.9 million due to increased financing costs from the amendments of our loan agreements.

Income taxes

Income tax benefit of $4.9 million and income tax expense of $7.8 million was recorded for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and the first nine months of fiscal 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate was 40.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and 39.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily due to differences in tax credits applicable year over year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $16.2 million to $40.2 million, or 7.7% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $56.4 million, or 10.9% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to an $8.7 million decline in gross margin and increased spending on strategic initiatives and transition costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the 39 week periods ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 (in thousands):

Cash flows used in financing activities

     (29,471     (41,394

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from our operating activities and available borrowings under our financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Our liquidity is dependent upon the continued availability of borrowings under our current financing arrangements and certain transactions that we have entered into or may enter into in the future to increase liquidity. The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the macroeconomic environment, the operating performance of our Company stores and continued compliance with our financing arrangements.

As discussed below under “Financing Arrangements,” the Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan are subject to a maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant (the “Leverage Covenant”). The Leverage Covenant is calculated on

 

21


Table of Contents

the last day of each fiscal quarter as (a) consolidated total funded debt on such date minus unrestricted cash over $3 million (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan) to (b) trailing four fiscal quarters adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan), which includes debt under our financing arrangements and capital leases. As of October 29, 2011, we were in compliance with the Leverage Covenant under our financing arrangements, and we currently believe that we will continue to be in compliance with this covenant (and other covenants under our financing arrangements) through at least the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

However, the decline in our operating results for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, coupled with continued economic weakness in the markets in which we operate, has adversely impacted our prospective compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Term Loan. On October 24, 2011, in order to reduce our leverage, a subsidiary of the Company sold its distribution center located in Tracy, California for cash proceeds of $21.2 million, net of fees and on October 26, 2011, we entered into the Appliances Agreement with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings that we had planned to enter into at the Distribution, pursuant to which it transferred certain inventory purchased from Sears Holdings to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings, for $1.9 million in cash. Additional actions taken by us to further reduce our leverage include, on December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California and on December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in three properties occupied by its store located in Pismo Beach, California, Cottle Road in San Jose, California, and Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California.

We utilized $21.6 million of the proceeds received in the sale and leaseback transactions to pay-down its Real Estate Secured Term Loan and expect the remainder of the proceeds to pay-down our Senior Secured Term Loan. In connection with that pay-down, we expect to enter into an agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under our Senior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, extend the maturity date to December 21, 2015 and to secure improved financial covenants and to make certain other technical amendments.

If the agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under our Senior Secured Term Loan does not occur, we seek to remain in compliance with our financing arrangements and generate sufficient liquidity by executing our sales growth strategy by, among other things, making improvements to our stores and store operations and upgrading and differentiating our product assortment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we continue to examine a number of alternatives with respect to future compliance and liquidity, including asset sales and/or sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, if necessary or advisable, we may seek to further renegotiate our financing arrangements in order to remain in compliance while continuing to follow our current business plan, which includes plans for store expansion. In such case, if such renegotiations were necessary but unsuccessful, the Company would expect to take certain actions that would allow it to remain in compliance. Such actions could include, among others, a reduction of capital expenditures by delaying or reducing new store openings and store remodels, a reduction in payroll and benefit costs, deferring certain maintenance and other expenditures, as well as generating additional cash through sale or sale leaseback of certain real estate assets in order to reduce leverage. However, the implementation of these actions could result in slower growth and could potentially reduce future sales.

Notwithstanding our expectations, if operating results were to continue to decline or if market conditions were to worsen, we may be unable to meet our financial covenants, and lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under our financing agreements. Under such circumstances, no assurances can be given that our financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations.

Our debt and capital lease obligations as of October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 are as follows (in millions):

Financing Arrangements

Our lending arrangements on and as of October 29, 2011and January 29, 2011 are as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility — In December 2006, we entered into an amended and restated five-year, $130.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Replaced Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. On January 29, 2010, we amended, restated and extended the Replaced Facility, reducing the revolving commitment to $120.0 million (subject to borrowing base limits). The amendment and restatement bifurcated the facility into a $20.0 million tranche maturing December 2011 with lenders who elected not to extend and a $100.0 million tranche maturing on the earlier to occur of 90 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loan and December 21, 2013 with lenders who elected to extend. As of January 29, 2011, $48.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $8.0 million due in December 2011 and approximately $40.0 million due in December 2013. As of October 29, 2011, $32.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $5.3 million due in December 2011 and approximately $26.7 million due in December 2013. We intend to draw funds from extending lenders to repay amounts due to non-extending lenders. The Senior Secured Credit Facility permits us to obtain letters of credit, provided that our obligations with respect to letters of credit issued under our Senior Secured Credit Facility cannot exceed $25.0 million. As of October 29, 2011 and January 29, 2011, we had outstanding letters of credit of $8.1 million and 7.3 million, respectively.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes. The borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is Orchard Supply Hardware LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary through which we conduct substantially all our operations (“OSH LLC”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, and our wholly owned subsidiary, OSH Finance Corporation (together, the “Guarantors”). Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of OSH LLC and the Guarantors, other than the Term Loan Collateral (as defined below), and a second lien on the Term Loan Collateral. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are either base rate (“BR”) loans or Eurodollar loans, at our discretion. BR loans owing to non-extending lenders bear interest at the greater of (a) the prime rate as publicly announced by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the “BR applicable rate”, with the “BR applicable rate” ranging between 0% to 0.75%. BR loans owing to each extending lender bear interest at the greater of (a) the prime rate as publicly announced by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (c) one month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%, plus the “BR extended term applicable rate”, with the “BR extended term applicable rate” ranging between 1.50%

and 2.25%. Eurodollar loans owing to each non-extending lender bear interest at LIBOR, plus the “Eurodollar applicable rate,” with the “Eurodollar applicable rate” ranging between 1.0% and 1.75%. Eurodollar loans owing to each extending lender bear interest at LIBOR plus the “Eurodollar extended term applicable rate,” with the “Eurodollar extended term applicable rate” ranging between 2.50% and 3.25%. The interest rate spreads applicable to our borrowings fluctuate based upon the performance of OSH LLC and the Guarantors as measured by their leverage ratio. In addition, we are required to pay unused commitment fees, based on OSH LLC’s and the Guarantors leverage ratio; such fees were 0.38% and 0.50% at October 29, 2011 and 0.25% and 0.75% at January 29, 2011, for non-extending lenders and for extending lenders, respectively.

Availability under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is determined pursuant to a borrowing base formula based on inventory and accounts and credit card receivables, subject to certain limitations. The Senior Secured Credit Facility subjects us to certain restrictive covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio that is triggered when availability under the Senior Secured Credit Facility reaches a minimum threshold of 10% of the total availability for three consecutive days. The fixed charge coverage ratio requires OSH LLC and the Guarantors to maintain a minimum ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 EBITDAR (EBITDA plus rent expense) to certain fixed charges.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan impose operating and financial restrictions on us, including, among other things, limitations on our ability to:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

 

   

pay dividends or redeem, repurchase, retire or make distributions in respect of our capital stock;

 

   

make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures or investments;

 

   

sell certain assets, including stock of our subsidiaries;

 

   

enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

 

   

create or incur liens;

 

   

consolidate, merge, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

enter into certain transactions with our affiliates;

 

   

undergo a change in control;

 

   

enter into certain swap agreements;

 

   

engage in a different type of business, including in the case of the Company, holding assets or liabilities other than holding the stock of OSH LLC;

 

   

make payments on certain types of debt;

 

   

enter into agreements that limit the ability of a subsidiary to pay dividends or distributions or make or repay loans or advances or to transfer assets to OSH LLC or guarantee debt of OSH LLC;

 

   

enter into agreements that limit the ability of OSH LLC and the Guarantors to incur liens on their property;

 

   

amend certain material documents;

 

   

make changes to accounting treatment and reporting practices;

 

   

change the fiscal year; and

 

   

use proceeds of credit extensions to purchase or carry margin stock.

Senior Secured Term Loan — In December 2006, we entered into a $200 million senior secured term loan agreement (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), which requires quarterly principal payments of $0.5 million and matures in December 2013. On January 28, 2011, we amended the Senior Secured Term Loan to change the maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant, applicable interest rates, definition of EBITDA and excess cash flow prepayment percentage rate. In addition to the quarterly principal payments discussed above, in the event we have excess cash flows at the end of a fiscal year, we are required to apply between 25% and 75% of such excess cash flows (reduced by previous voluntary prepayments) to repay outstanding loans. The annual excess cash flow prepayment percentage rate is a percentage of our excess cash flows determined by our leverage ratio. We did not pay any excess cash flow prepayments in fiscal 2010 or 2011 and we do not anticipate making any prepayments in fiscal 2012.

The borrower under the Senior Secured Term Loan is OSH LLC and the loan is guaranteed by the Guarantors. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on OSH LLC’s and the Guarantors’ subsidiary stock, equipment, real property, intangibles relating to such stock, proceeds and products of the foregoing (the “Term Loan Collateral”) and a second lien on substantially all of OSH LLC’s and the Guarantors’ other assets.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan are either alternate base rate (“ABR”) loans or Eurodollar loans, at our discretion. ABR loans bear interest at the greater of (a) the prime rate as publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, and (b) the federal funds rate, plus 0.5%, plus the “ABR applicable rate”, with the “ABR applicable rate” ranging between 3.50% and 3.75%. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR, ranging between 4.50% and 4.75% (5.0%, 5.1%, and 3.1% at October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011, and October 30, 2010, respectively). The interest rate spreads applicable to our borrowings fluctuate based upon the Company’s performance as measured by our leverage ratio.

The Senior Secured Term Loan subjects us to certain restrictions, including a maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant. In addition, the Senior Secured Term Loan requires us to make certain mandatory repayments in connection with the transfer of or damage to property securing the loan or in the event we incur certain types of debt.

The maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan) is calculated on the last day of each fiscal quarter as (a) consolidated total funded debt on such date minus unrestricted cash over $3 million (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan) to (b) trailing four fiscal quarters adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan). The following table provides our maximum leverage ratio during the remaining term of the Senior Secured Term Loan.

 

     Maximum  
For the trailing four fiscal quarters ending    Leverage Ratio  

January 29, 2011 through and including May 5, 2012

     5.50 to 1.00   

August 4, 2012 through and including February 2, 2013

     5.25 to 1.00   

May 4, 2013 through and including February 1, 2014

     4.75 to 1.00   

We believe that we were in compliance with the Senior Secured Term Loan covenants, including the maximum leverage ratio, which, at October 29, 2011 and January 29, 2011, were 5.02 to 1.00 and 4.89 to 1.00, respectively. At October 29, 2011 and January 29, 2011, assuming our current level of consolidated total funded debt remains constant, we estimate that a 8.8% and 11.0% or greater decline in our trailing four fiscal quarters adjusted EBITDA, respectively, would cause us to exceed our maximum leverage ratio covenant for that period.

Real Estate Secured Term Loan — On October 27, 2010, we entered into a $50 million real estate secured term loan (the “Real Estate Secured Term Loan”) that requires quarterly payments of $0.1 million and matures in December 2013. The proceeds from the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, together with $33.0 million of available cash and a $37.0 million borrowing on our Senior Secured Credit Facility, were used to repay our then existing $120.0 million commercial mortgage-backed securities loan in full on October 27, 2010. The Real Estate Secured Term Loan requires us to meet the leverage covenant set forth in our Senior Secured Term Loan, subject to certain maximum thresholds. On February 17, 2011, we amended the Real Estate Secured Term Loan to raise the maximum thresholds on the loan’s leverage covenant for certain periods and change the definition of EBITDA. On December 19, 2011, we entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which lowered the minimum principal amount required under the Real Estate Secured Term Loan and allowed us to conduct certain sale and leaseback transactions.

Interest on the Real Estate Secured Term Loan is based on LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum (4.5% and 4.511% at October 29, 2011 and January 29, 2011, respectively), and is payable in monthly installments. In connection with the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which establishes a maximum interest rate on the Real Estate Secured Term Loan for LIBOR at 4% with a $25 million notional amount.

The Real Estate Secured Term Loan is secured by a first lien mortgage on 19 properties, which includes 15 properties owned and 4 properties on ground leases, each owned or leased by our wholly owned subsidiary, OSH Properties LLC. The loan is subject to a lapsing prepayment premium and breakage costs in the event we elect to repay all or a portion of the loan early. After closing the transactions described below, the Real Estate Secured Term Loan would be secured by a first lien mortgage on 14 remaining properties, which includes 10 owned properties and 4 on ground leases.

On October 24, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company sold for $21.2 million, net of fees, all of its interest in its distribution center located in Tracy,

Table of Contents

California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 458,000 square feet and the underlying land. In connection with the closing of the sale of the distribution center, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the distribution center. The commencement date of the lease was October 28, 2011. The lease is a 20-year lease and provides for three five-year extension options. The initial base rent under the lease is $1.7 million per year with 10% increases every five years. We recorded a non-cash loss in the amount of $14.3 million on the sale of the distribution center for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011. In connection with the transaction, we repaid $7.6 million of the Real Estate Secured Term Loan and removed the distribution center from the loan collateral. We paid $0.1 million in fees, penalties, and interest.

On December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to which a subsidiary of the Company’s Hollywood store sold all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California. The property is comprised of a building containing approximately 31,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 8,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land. In connection with the closing of the sale, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the Hollywood store. The term of the lease began on December 12, 2011 and may be terminated on January 1, 2014, upon six months notice by us. The lease may also terminate upon two months notice from the landlord at any time except during February through June of each year. We will continue to operate the facility consistent with its existing use throughout the term. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the financial impact of these transactions on our condensed consolidated financial statements. On December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to which a subsidiary of the Company sold all of its interests in the properties occupied by (i) its store located in Pismo Beach, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 34,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 6,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land, (ii) its store located on Cottle Road in San Jose, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 38,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 9,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land, and (iii) its store located on Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 42,000 square feet of enclosed space, plus approximately 11,000 square feet of nursery and garden area and the underlying land. In connection with the closing of the sale, a subsidiary of the Company entered into lease agreements with respect to each of the stores. The term of the Pismo Beach store lease is 16 years, the others are 18 years, beginning on December 19, 2011. We will continue to operate the facilities consistent with its existing use throughout the term of each lease. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the financial impact of these transactions on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aggregate purchase price received from these four properties was approximately $36 million. We expect to pay $3.2 million of additional rent annually with respect to these four leases.

On December 19, 2011, OSH Properties entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which lowered the minimum principal amount required under the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, among other things, and allowed OSH Properties to conduct certain sale and leaseback transactions described above.

Each of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan required the payment of upfront and arrangement fees of between 1.0% and 2.25%.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan each contain an event of default resulting from a change of control default, which includes the following: (i) certain mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of OSH LLC and OSH LLC’s subsidiaries to persons other than ACOF, ESL and Sears Holdings; (ii) adoption of a plan of liquidation of OSH LLC; (iii) prior to an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF ceasing to collectively hold directly or indirectly at least 50% of the total voting power of all shares of our and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock; (iv) following an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, a person or group, other than Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF, collectively holding directly or indirectly at least 40% of the total voting power of all shares of our and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock and Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF collectively holding less than such person or group; and (v) our board of directors not consisting of continuing directors (“Change in Control”).

Immediately following the Distribution:

 

   

Sears Holdings will not own any capital stock of the Company;

 

   

ESL will beneficially own approximately 61% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 49% of the general voting power of our capital stock; and

 

   

ACOF will beneficially own 100% of our outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock and approximately 20% of the general voting power of our capital stock.

Neither ESL nor ACOF have agreed to maintain their shareholding in the Company following the Distribution. If, following the Distribution, one or both of ESL and ACOF dispose of all or part of their shareholding in the Company such that their combined total voting power drops below 50%, this may trigger a Change in Control event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan. An event of default could trigger certain acceleration clauses and cause those and our other obligations to become immediately due and payable and we may not have sufficient cash funds available to repay our debt obligations upon such a Change in Control.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we primarily financed our operations and investments with cash generated from operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $36.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $50.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The $14.2 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease of cash provided by merchandise payables of $21.3 million and $5.7 million of additional selling and administrative expenses. This is offset by a $14.9 million in cash provided by merchandise inventories. The decrease in cash provided by merchandise payables was due to an effort in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to improve the use of working capital. In addition, the increase in cash provided by merchandise inventories was due to our efforts to reduce inventory levels in fiscal 2011.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $10.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $10.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to the sale of our distribution center located in Tracy, California for net proceeds of $21.2 million, on October 24, 2011. The increase in cash used in the purchase of property and equipment is primarily due to new store spending. In the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we spent $11.2 million on capital expenditures, allocated as follows: 50% for new stores, 30% for store improvements, 15% for core technology, and 5% for merchandising.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $29.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $41.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. On October 27, 2010, we entered into a $50.0 million Real Estate Secured Term Loan agreement, which matures on December 21, 2013, but no later than 91 days prior to the maturity of our Senior Secured Term Loan. The proceeds from the Real Estate Term Loan, together with $33.0 million of available cash and $37.0 million borrowing on our senior secured credit facility, were used to repay our $120 million CMBS Loan in full. In October 2011, we repaid $7.6 million of the Real Estate Secured Term Loan as a result of the sale of our distribution center in Tracy, California, which was a collateral property. In addition, we repaid $16.0 million on the Senior Secured Credit Facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

At October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011, and October 30, 2010, we had non-cancelable commitments of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to merchandise purchase contracts and capital projects. Other than in connection with executing operating leases and purchase commitments, we do not have any other off-balance sheet financing that has, or is reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Certain reserves and contractual obligations were excluded from the table above due to the uncertainty in timing or amounts of such payments. These include $1.7 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions, $7.3 million of casualty insurance reserves, and variable interest on our long-term debt. If both interest rates and debt remain constant, we expect interest obligations to be $11.5 million within the next 12 months. A 25 bps change in interest rates, assuming consistent borrowings, could result in a $0.6 million change in interest obligations annually. A $1.0 million change in debt, assuming consistent interest rates, could result in a $0.1 million change in interest obligations annually. In the past 12 months, we have experienced a 6 bps change in interest rate and a $14.5 million change in debt. If we were to experience the same fluctuation in the following 12 months, it could potentially change our interest obligations by approximately $0.8 million or approximately 7% of the $11.5 million in expected interest obligations.

There are no significant changes to our contractual obligations and off balance sheet arrangements during the first nine months fiscal 2011, with the exception of when we are planning to repay our long-term debt. We have reclassified $20.0 million of our Senior Secured Credit Facility debt from long-term to short-term. In addition, we paid down $29.1 million of our debt in the first nine months fiscal 2011.

The impact of the five sale-leaseback transactions with respect to our distribution center and four stores will be a decrease in annual interest expense associated with the Real Estate Secured Term Loan of approximately $0.9 million. We expect to pay $4.9 million of additional rent annually with respect to these transactions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

For fiscal 2010, we had non-cancelable commitments of $0.2 million related to merchandise purchase contracts and capital projects. Other than in connection with executing operating leases and purchase commitments, we do not have any other off-balance sheet financing that has, or is reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, certain accounting policies require considerable judgment to select the appropriate assumptions to calculate financial estimates. These estimates are complex and subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We base our estimates on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, evaluation of trends and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate the information used to make these estimates as our business and the economic environment change. Although the use of estimates is pervasive throughout the financial statements, we consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

 

   

it requires assumptions to be made about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and

 

   

changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or different estimates that could have been selected would have a material effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

We believe that the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and the considerations used in estimating amounts, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

The following is a summary of our most critical policies and estimates. See Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Registration Statement for a listing of our other significant accounting policies.

Merchandise Inventories

Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market determined primarily using the retail inventory method (“RIM”). RIM is an averaging method that is commonly used in the retail industry. To determine inventory cost under RIM, inventory at its retail selling value is segregated into groupings of merchandise having similar characteristics, which are then converted to a

 

27


Table of Contents

cost basis by applying specific average cost factors for each grouping of merchandise. Cost factors represent the average cost-to-retail ratio for each merchandise group based upon the year’s purchasing activity for each store location. Accordingly, a significant assumption under the retail method is that inventory in each group is similar in terms of its cost-to-retail relationship and has similar turnover rates. We monitor the content of merchandise in these groupings to prevent distortions that would have a material effect on inventory valuation.

RIM inherently requires management judgment and certain estimates that may significantly affect the ending inventory valuation, as well as gross margin. The methodologies utilized by us in its application of RIM are consistent for all periods presented. Such methodologies include the development of the cost-to-retail ratios, the groupings of homogenous classes of merchandise, the development of shrinkage and obsolescence reserves, and the accounting for retail price changes. We believe that our RIM provides an inventory valuation that reasonably approximates cost. Among others, two significant estimates used in inventory valuation are the level and timing of permanent markdowns (clearance markdowns used to clear unproductive or slow-moving inventory) and shrinkage. Amounts are charged to cost of sales at the time the retail value of inventory is reduced through the use of permanent markdowns.

Factors considered in the determination of permanent markdowns include current and anticipated demand, customer preferences, age of the merchandise, fashion and design trends and weather conditions. In addition, inventory is also evaluated against corporate pre-determined historical markdown cadences. When a decision is made to permanently markdown merchandise, the resulting gross margin reduction is recognized in the period the markdown is recorded. The timing of the decision, particularly surrounding the balance sheet date, can have a significant effect on the results of operations.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

We receive various vendor-funded rebates and allowances through a variety of programs and arrangements intended to offset our costs of promoting and selling certain vendor products. These vendor payments are recorded as a reduction to the cost of merchandise inventories when earned and, thereafter, as a reduction of cost of sales, as the merchandise is sold. Up-front consideration received from vendors linked to purchases or other commitments is deferred until performance of the specified activity is deemed to be complete. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, we earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, we earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively.

Trade Name Asset Impairment

We review indefinite-lived trade name assets for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Potential impairment exists if the carrying amount of trade names is greater than their fair value, which is determined using the relief from royalty method. We did not record any intangible asset impairment charges in any period presented in this Form 10-Q.

 

28


Table of Contents

The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in our trade name asset impairment testing process, such as the estimated future cash flows of the asset and the discount rate used to discount such cash flows, could significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of the assets, and therefore, impact the related impairment charge. At the 2010 annual impairment test date, the above-noted conclusion that no indication of intangible asset impairment existed at the test date would not have changed had the test been conducted assuming: (1) a 100 basis points increase in the discount rate used to discount the aggregate estimated cash flows of our assets to their net present value in determining their estimated fair values (without any change in the aggregate estimated cash flows of our reporting unit), (2) a 100 basis points decrease in the terminal period growth rate without a change in the discount rate of the reporting unit, or (3) a 10 basis points decrease in the royalty rate applied to the forecasted net sales stream of our assets. If the decline in our net sales continues, this could have a material effect on our trade names valuation and could result in an impairment change.

Our trade name assets, OSH and Orchard Supply Hardware, are not subject to amortization, as management expects the trade names to generate cash flows indefinitely.

The impairment analysis for trade names is performed as of the last day of our November accounting period each year.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss recognized is the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. The fair market value of these assets is determined using the income approach and Level 3 inputs, which require management to make estimates about future cash flows. We estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows based on historical experience and knowledge of the retail market in which each store operates. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to calculate impairment losses of long-lived assets. Our recorded asset impairment charges have not been and are not expected to be material. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in the calculations, we may be exposed to losses that could be material.

Casualty Insurance Reserves

We have historically participated in Sears Holdings’ insurance programs, which have provided us with comprehensive insurance coverage. On February 25, 2008, we entered into our own insurance contracts for exposures incurred after that date with third-party insurance companies for a number of risks including workers’ compensation and general liability claims. We record insurance reserves based on the expected ultimate settlement value of claims filed and claims incurred but not yet reported. Our estimated claim amounts are discounted using a risk-free rate based on the duration that approximates the expected period to settle such claims. The discount rate used was 4% in each of fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008. A 25 basis point change in the risk-free rate would change our reserve by less than $0.1 million. In estimating this liability, we utilized loss trend factors based on company-specific data to project the future loss rate. Loss estimates are adjusted based upon actual claims settlements and reported claims. These projections are subject to a high degree of variability based upon future inflation rates, litigation trends, legal interpretations, benefit level changes, and claim settlement patterns.

Although we do not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from our estimates, insurance reserves could be affected if future claim experience differs significantly from the historical trends and the actuarial assumptions.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We face market risk exposure in the form of interest rate risk. These market risks arise from our debt obligations. We have no international operations. Our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not significant to our financial condition or results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk

All interest-rate derivative instruments are considered non-trading. At October 29, 2011, 77.0% of our total debt portfolio, including capital leases, was variable rate. Based on the size of this variable rate debt portfolio at October 29, 2011, which totaled approximately $246.5 million, an immediate 100 basis points change in interest rates would have affected annual pretax funding costs by $2.5 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 1, 2011, a judgment for $5.1 million by the California Superior Court was entered against us in favor of Save Mart Supermarkets (“Save Mart”). On August 24, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart (the “Settlement Agreement”) to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release us of all liabilities, and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The Settlement includes three parts: 1) a $0.5 million cash consideration paid to Save Mart, 2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and us, and 3) the lease of a new property to us. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement during the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011, we have satisfied the $0.5 million cash consideration and recorded an $1.6 million reduction to this liability.

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Based on the information currently available, we are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below in evaluating the Company and our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The following risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

Risks Relating to Our Business

If we fail to offer merchandise and services that our customers want, our revenues may be limited, which would reduce our revenues and profits.

In order for our business to be successful, we must identify, obtain supplies of, and offer to our customers attractive, innovative and high-quality merchandise on a continuous basis. Our products and services must satisfy the desires of our customers, whose preferences may change in the future. If we misjudge either the demand for products and services we sell or our customers’ purchasing habits and tastes, we may be faced with excess inventories of some products and missed opportunities for products and services we chose not to offer. In addition, our revenues may decline or we may be required to sell the merchandise we have obtained at lower prices. This would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

The home improvement retail industry is highly competitive and we may be unable to compete effectively.

If we are unable to compete effectively in the highly competitive home improvement retail industry, our business and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The home improvement retail industry is highly competitive with few barriers to entry. We compete against a diverse group of retailers, both small and large, including warehouse home

centers and local hardware stores. We consider The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ace Hardware and True Value as our primary competitors. Based on publically available information, we believe that in California each of The Home Depot, Ace Hardware and True Value currently has between two to three times as many stores as we do and that Lowe’s has, by number of stores, over 20% more stores in the state than we do. Some of our competitors are actively engaged in new store expansion. Discount retailers such as Walmart, Target and Kmart, and multi-line retailers such as Sears Roebuck, also compete with us in certain product areas. In addition, our garden centers compete against smaller local nurseries. Online and catalog businesses, which handle similar lines of merchandise, also compete with us. Many of our competitors have a larger number of stores, more products available online, substantially greater financial, distribution and marketing resources, larger market shares and a more widespread, national presence. Such factors may provide our competitors with greater financial resources to expand, grow and allow for stronger relationships and aggressive pricing with vendors and third-party suppliers. Furthermore, some of our competitors have been aggressively building new stores in locations with high concentrations of our stores and in locations we have targeted for expansion. We expect that as the home improvement retail industry market grows, new competitors will enter the market and competition from established companies will increase.

In addition to competition from Sears Roebuck’s full-line stores, Sears Holdings also owns, franchises and authorizes dealers to operate specialty retail stores, which have product lines that are similar to ours. Following the spin-off, Sears Holdings will not be restricted from competing with us or from opening new Sears Roebuck, Kmart or specialty stores in our markets or in locations we have targeted for expansion.

Our success depends on our ability to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and remain competitive with respect to shopping convenience, availability of merchandise in-stock and customer service. The performance of our competitors, as well as changes in their pricing policies, marketing activities, new store openings and other business strategies, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business has been and will continue to be affected by worldwide economic conditions and, in particular, California economic conditions; a failure of the economy to sustain its recovery, a renewed decline in consumer-spending levels and other conditions, including inflation, could lead to reduced revenues and gross margins, and negatively impact our liquidity.

Many economic and other factors are outside of our control, including consumer and commercial credit availability, consumer confidence and spending levels, inflation, employment levels, housing sales and remodels, consumer debt levels, fuel costs and other challenges currently affecting the global economy, the full impact of which on our business, results of operations and financial condition cannot be predicted with certainty. The California economy, in particular, has recently been susceptible to slowdowns and recessions. These economic conditions adversely affect the disposable income levels of, and the credit available to, our customers, which could lead to reduced demand for our merchandise. Also affected are our vendors, upon which we depend to provide us with financing on our purchases of inventory and services. Our vendors could seek to change either the availability of vendor credit to us or other terms under which they sell to us, or both, which could negatively impact our liquidity. In addition, the inability of vendors to access liquidity, or the insolvency of vendors, could lead to their failure to deliver inventory or other services. Certain of our vendors also are experiencing increases in the cost of various raw materials, such as copper, steel and resin, which could result in increases in the prices that we pay for merchandise, particularly in our plumbing, industrial and electrical categories.

In addition to credit terms from vendors, our liquidity needs are funded by our operating cash flows and, to the extent necessary, borrowings under our credit agreements. The availability of financing depends on numerous factors, including economic and market conditions, our credit ratings, and lenders’ assessments of our prospects and the prospects of the retail industry in general. The lenders under our credit facilities may not be able to meet their commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity and there can be no assurance that our ability to otherwise access the credit markets will not be adversely affected by changes in the financial markets and the global economy.

Continued high rates of unemployment, depressed home prices, reduced access to credit and the domestic and international political situation also adversely affect consumer confidence. Low consumer confidence and the threat, outbreak, or escalation of terrorism, military conflicts or other hostilities may lead to reduced consumer spending, particularly by our customers on many of the discretionary items we sell that relate to home and garden improvement projects. These factors could cause us to increase inventory markdowns and promotional expenses, thereby reducing our gross margins and operating results.

If we do not successfully manage our inventory levels, our operating results will be adversely affected.

We must maintain sufficient inventory levels to operate our business successfully. However, we also must guard against accumulating excess inventory as we seek to maintain in-stock levels and to minimize out-of-stock levels across all product

Table of Contents

categories. We obtain a portion of our inventory from vendors located outside the United States. Some of these vendors often require lengthy advance notice of our requirements in order to be able to supply products in the quantities we request. This usually requires us to order merchandise, and enter into purchase orders for the purchase and manufacture of such merchandise, well in advance of the time these products will be offered for sale. As a result, we may experience difficulty in responding to a changing retail environment. If we do not accurately anticipate the future demand for a particular product or the time it will take to obtain new inventory, our inventory levels will not be appropriate and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

Adverse changes in economic factors specific to the home improvement industry may negatively impact the rate of growth of our revenues and comparable store sales.

Sales of many of our product categories and services are driven by housing turnover and activity level of home and garden improvement projects. The expiration of government stimulus programs specific to the housing sector may adversely affect the rate of housing turnover. Steep declines over recent years in home prices, the increasing number of households with negative equity, increasing mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates, reduction in the availability of mortgage financing, fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate mortgages, fewer housing starts and significantly lower housing turnover have limited, and may continue to limit, consumers’ discretionary spending. The overall housing environment and related economic factors have diminished consumer confidence levels, which in turn has adversely affected consumer spending on home and garden improvement projects. The impact of these economic factors specific to the home and garden improvement industry is exacerbated by what is expected to be a gradual and prolonged period of economic recovery with slow employment growth, which we believe has and will continue to contribute to year-over-year declines in revenues.

Our revenues may fluctuate for a variety of reasons, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business is sensitive to customers’ spending patterns, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions. Our revenues and results of operations have fluctuated in the past, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future. A variety of other factors affect our revenues and financial performance, including:

 

   

actions by our competitors, including opening of new stores in our existing markets or changes to the way these competitors go to market online;

 

   

seasonal fluctuations due to weather conditions;

 

   

timing and concentration of new store openings and related pre-opening and other start-up costs;

 

   

changes in our merchandise strategy and mix;

 

   

changes in population and other demographics; and

 

   

timing and frequency of our promotional and discounting events.

Accordingly, our results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other quarter, and comparable store sales for any particular future period may increase or decrease. For more information on our results of operations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Extended cold or wet weather in California, particularly in the spring, can have an adverse effect on our operating results.

The sale of a substantial portion of our merchandise depends upon our customers undertaking repair, maintenance and improvement projects in their home and garden. We believe that our customers are more likely to begin such projects during periods of warm and dry weather. Accordingly, we have historically realized a significant portion of our revenues and earnings for the year in the spring selling season, which includes March, April, May and June. In 2009 and 2010, we generated 29% and 30% of our revenues in the second fiscal quarter, respectively. Wet, windy and/or cold weather conditions can reduce foot traffic in our stores. Extended cold or wet weather conditions in California, particularly during the spring months, can significantly reduce our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For example, we believe unseasonably cold and wet weather in March of 2011 had an adverse impact on sales, particularly of our lawn and garden products. Furthermore, lower than anticipated revenues during the spring selling season may cause us to increase inventory markdowns and promotion expenses, thereby reducing our gross margins and operating results.

If we are unable to obtain suitable replacement financing upon the maturing of our existing financing arrangements, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business and results of operations depend substantially on our ability to obtain financing for our operations. We currently have the following secured financing arrangements:

 

   

a Senior Secured Credit Facility with a revolving availability up to $120 million, subject to a borrowing base, $20 million of which expires on December 21, 2011, with the remainder expiring on the earlier to occur of (i) 90 days prior to the maturity of Senior Secured Term Loan and (ii) December 21, 2013;

 

   

a $200 million Senior Secured Term Loan which matures on December 21, 2013;

 

   

a $50 million Real Estate Secured Term Loan which matures on the earlier of (i) December 21, 2013 or (ii) 90 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loan.

Current economic conditions have generally adversely impacted the availability, cost and terms of debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace our existing financing upon the maturity of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to renew or replace our existing financial arrangements when they become due, our costs for borrowings will likely increase and our revenues may decrease, or we could be precluded from continuing our operations at current levels. If we are unable to refinance our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan prior to their respective maturity dates, we cannot guarantee that we will generate enough cash flow from operations or be able to obtain enough capital to repay our outstanding indebtedness on such dates. In such event, we may need to close or sell stores, sell assets, reduce the number and/or frequency of store openings and improvements, issue capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock or issue debt securities to repay our indebtedness. If implemented, these actions could negatively impact our business, operating results or dilute our capital stock.

If we are unable to comply with the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan or Real Estate Secured Term Loan, our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted.

As of October 29, 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our financing arrangements, and we currently believe that we will continue to be in compliance with these covenants through at least the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. However, the decline in our operating results for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, coupled with continued economic weakness in the markets in which we operate, may adversely impact our prospective compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Secured Term Loan. During the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2011 (i) we entered into the Appliances Agreement with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings that we had planned to enter into at the Distribution and (ii) we entered into a sale and lease-back transaction with respect to our distribution center located in Tracy, California. In addition, in December 2011, we sold four of our stores and concurrently entered into a short-term lease for each of the properties. We expect the long-term sale-leaseback transaction to generate tenant improvement allowances to help update the stores to enhance the shopping experience for our customers. We anticipate using a portion of the net proceeds to pay down our Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan, and we also are approaching the lenders under our existing financing arrangements to discuss, among other things, the extension of the maturity date under our Senior Secured Term Loan, improved terms of the financial covenants under our Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan, and certain technical amendments under each of our Senior Secured Term Loan, Real Estate Secured Term Loan and Senior Secured Credit Facility. For more information regarding our compliance with our financial covenants, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Notwithstanding these actions, we continue to examine a number of alternatives with respect to future compliance and liquidity, including asset sales and/or sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, if necessary or advisable, we may seek to strengthen our financial position by monetizing additional owned store properties or by seeking to renegotiate our financing arrangements in order to remain in compliance while continuing to follow our current business plan, which includes plans for store expansion. In such case, if such renegotiations were necessary but unsuccessful, we would expect to modify our business plan in a manner that would allow us to remain in compliance. Such a modification could result in slower growth, a delay of new store openings and the potential for a decline in sales. Notwithstanding our expectations, if our operating results were to continue to decline or if market conditions were to worsen, we may be unable to meet our financial covenants, and lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under our financing agreements. Under such circumstances, no assurances can be given that our financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations.

We may not have sufficient cash to repay our debt obligations on the occurrence of an event of default resulting from a change in control trigger.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan contain an event of default resulting from a change of control default, which includes the following: (i) certain mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of OSH LLC and OSH LLC’s subsidiaries to persons other than ACOF, ESL and Sears Holdings; (ii) adoption of a plan of liquidation of OSH LLC; (iii) prior to an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF ceasing to collectively hold directly or indirectly at least 50% of the total voting power of all shares of our and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock; (iv) following an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, a person or group, other than Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF, collectively holding directly or indirectly at least 40% of the total voting power of all shares of our and OSH LLC’s voting capital stock and Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF collectively holding less than such person or group; and (v) our board of directors not consisting of continuing directors (“Change in Control”).

Immediately following the Distribution:

 

   

Sears Holdings will not own any capital stock of the Company;

 

   

ESL will beneficially own approximately 61% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 49% of the general voting power of our capital stock; and

 

   

ACOF will beneficially own 100% of our outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock and approximately 20% of the general voting power of our capital stock.

Neither ESL nor ACOF have agreed to maintain their shareholding in the Company following the Distribution. If, following the Distribution, one or both of ESL and ACOF dispose of all or part of their shareholding in the Company such that their combined total voting power drops below 50%, this may trigger a Change in Control event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan. An event of default could trigger certain acceleration clauses and cause those and our other obligations to become immediately due and payable and we may not have sufficient cash funds available to repay our debt obligations upon such a Change in Control.

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our operating results.

An increase in prevailing interest rates could adversely affect our operating results. At October 29, 2011, we had approximately $246.5 million aggregate principal amount of variable interest rate indebtedness under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan. The variable interest rates applicable to this indebtedness are based on several interest rate indexes that fluctuate on a regular basis, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the prime rate as publicly announced by certain of our lenders and the U.S. federal funds rate. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on this variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed would remain the same, and our net income would decrease. As a protection against rising interest rates, we have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to our real estate secured term loan with a notional amount of $25 million, capping LIBOR at 4%. The cap agreement does not eliminate interest rate volatility for the remainder of our variable rate indebtedness. In the future, we may enter into interest rate swaps or additional cap contracts to reduce interest rate volatility. The terms of our cap agreement with respect to our real estate secured term loan or such additional agreements as we may enter to reduce interest rate volatility, may be unfavorable to us depending on rate movements and may not completely protect us from increased interest expense in particular situations.

Our substantial leverage may place us at a competitive disadvantage in our industry.

We are substantially leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. At October 29, 2011, our outstanding debt (excluding capital leases) was approximately $246.5 million. Our significant debt and debt service requirements could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities. For example, our high level of debt presents the following risks:

 

   

we are required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay principal and interest on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances and other general corporate requirements;

 

34


Table of Contents
   

our interest expense could increase if prevailing interest rates increase, because a substantial portion of our debt bears interest at floating rates;

 

   

our substantial leverage increases our vulnerability to economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions and could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that are less leveraged;

 

   

our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry and could limit our ability to pursue other business opportunities, borrow more money for operations or capital in the future and implement our business strategies;

 

   

our level of debt may restrict us from raising additional financing on satisfactory terms to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, and other general corporate requirements; and

 

   

covenants in our debt instruments limit our ability to pay dividends or make other restricted payments and investments.

Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash and our ability to generate cash may be affected by factors beyond our control.

We may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain future borrowings under our credit facilities or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we do not have sufficient liquidity, we may need to refinance or restructure all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity, sell assets, or borrow more money, which we may not be able to do on terms satisfactory to us or at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future sources of funding will be available to us in amounts sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs. If we are unable to meet our obligations with respect to our debt, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our debt, seek equity financing or sell assets. A default on any of our debt obligations could trigger certain acceleration clauses and cause those and our other obligations to become immediately due and payable. Upon an acceleration of any of our debt, we may not be able to make payments under our other outstanding debt.

Credit rating downgrades could increase our financing costs and negatively affect our access to capital.

Our credit ratings may affect our cost of financing and our ability to access financing sources. In June 2011, our credit ratings were downgraded by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Rating agencies revise their ratings for the companies that they follow from time to time and our ratings may be revised or withdrawn in their entirety at any time. Any further credit rating downgrade could increase our financing costs and could limit our access to financing sources.

If our stores or distribution center experience catastrophic damage and loss due to natural disasters, our operations would be seriously harmed.

Each of our stores, our store support center and our distribution center are located in California in areas that are susceptible to earthquakes and other natural disasters, such as wildfires, floods and tsunamis. If any of our facilities, and in particular our distribution facility in Tracy, California, were to experience catastrophic damage and loss, it could disrupt our store operations, delay shipments of our merchandise, reduce our revenue and result in large expenses to repair or replace our facilities. The occurrence of any of these natural disasters could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We currently rely on a single distribution center. The loss or disruption of operations at our centralized distribution center or our failure in the future to expand or add additional distribution facilities could have an adverse effect on our business, operations and operating results.

A majority of our inventory is shipped directly from our suppliers to a single centralized distribution center that we lease in Tracy, California, where the inventory is then received, sorted and shipped to our stores. Our operating results depend on the orderly operation of our receiving and distribution processes, which in turn depend upon on our private fleet of leased

 

35


Table of Contents

tractors, leased and owned trailers, third-party common carriers and our effective management of our distribution facilities. We may not anticipate all the changing demands that our expanding operations will impose on our receiving and distribution system, and events beyond our control, such as disruptions in operations due to fire, earthquakes or other catastrophic events. In addition, shipping problems or labor disagreements may result in delays in the delivery of merchandise to our stores.

If we expand our retail store base, we may need to expand our distribution facilities, therefore we may need to acquire, construct or lease additional distribution facilities in other geographic locations to accommodate a planned expansion. An expansion of our distribution facilities will require significant capital investment, costs and time and could place increased demands on our financial, managerial and operational resources. We may also need to invest in additional information technology to achieve a unified receiving and distribution system.

While we maintain insurance, in the event our distribution center were to be shut down for any reason or if we were to incur higher costs and longer lead times in connection with a disruption at our distribution center, our insurance may not be sufficient, and insurance proceeds may not be timely paid to us.

We rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions, summarize results and manage our business. Disruptions in these systems could harm our ability to run our business.

Given the number of individual transactions we have each year, it is critical that we maintain uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that result in the compromise of confidential customer data, catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes and hurricanes, and usage errors by our employees. If our systems are breached, damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, we may suffer interruptions in our operations in the interim, we may face costly litigation, and our reputation with our customers may be harmed. Our ability to maintain sufficient inventory levels in our stores is critical to our success and largely depends upon the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. Any material interruption in our computer operations may have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

We rely on third parties to provide us with services in connection with the administration of certain aspects of our business.

We have entered into agreements with third-party service providers (both domestic and international) to provide processing and administrative functions over a range of areas, and we may continue to do so in the future. These areas include credit card processing, e-commerce services, payroll following the spin-off and product returns. Services provided by third parties could be interrupted as a result of many factors, such as acts of God or contract disputes. Any failure by third parties to provide us with these services on a timely basis or within our service level expectations and performance standards could result in a disruption of our business and have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We could incur charges due to impairment of intangible and long-lived assets.

As of October 29, 2011 we had intangible asset balances of $139.4 million, which are subject to testing for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our intangible assets consist of $107.6 million of our trade names and $31.8 million of favorable leasehold rights. Failure to achieve sufficient levels of cash flows could result in impairment charges for our trade names. If the decline in our revenues continues, this could have a material effect on our trade name valuation and could result in an impairment charge. Our long-lived assets, primarily building and fixtures at our stores and favorable leasehold rights, are also subject to testing for impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in our impairment assessment. Failure to achieve sufficient levels of cash flow could result in impairment charges for intangible assets or fixed assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our failure to retain our senior management team and to continue to attract qualified new personnel could adversely affect our results of operations.

We depend on the talents and continued efforts of our senior management team. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executives and do not have employment agreements with any of our executives. The loss of one or more of the members of our senior management may disrupt our business and materially adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, our ability to manage our further expansion will require us to continue to train, motivate and manage our employees and to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified managerial and store personnel. We believe that having store personnel who are knowledgeable and experienced in home repair matters has been an important factor in our historical

 

36


Table of Contents

success and we believe it will continue to be important to growing our business. Competition for these types of personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business profitably.

Persons associated with members of our board of directors following the distribution, whose interests may be different than your interests, will exert substantial influence over us.

A member of our board of directors who is associated with ESL (the “ESL Director”) will, following the Distribution, beneficially own approximately 61% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 49% of the general voting power of our capital stock. Persons associated with directors elected by holders of our Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (the “Class B/C Directors”) will, following the Distribution, beneficially own 100% of our outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock and approximately 20% of the general voting power of our capital stock. Accordingly, such persons, and thus the Class B/C Directors and ESL Director have substantial influence over many, if not all, actions to be taken or approved by our stockholders, including any transactions involving a change of control. In addition, persons associated with the ESL Director will have substantial influence over the election of our eight directors elected by the holders of Class A Common Stock and persons associated with the Class B/C Directors will have the power to direct the election of our two directors elected by the combined vote of the Class B Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock (the outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock will, following the Distribution, have less than 0.5% of the voting power of our capital stock).

The interests of such persons associated with the ESL Director and the Class B/C Directors, which have investments in other companies that may compete with us, including Sears Holdings, may from time to time diverge from the interests of our other stockholders, particularly with regard to new investment opportunities. In addition, this substantial influence may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire our Company because the consummation of any such acquisition would likely require the consent of such persons.

We may be subject to product liability claims if people or properties are harmed by the products we sell or the services we offer.

Some of the products we sell may expose us to product liability claims relating to personal injury, death, or property damage caused by such products, and may require us to take actions such as product recalls. We also provide various services, which could also give rise to such claims. Although we maintain liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Claims of this nature, as well product recalls, could also have a negative impact on customer confidence in the products we stock and in our reputation, our business and our operating results.

We may be subject to periodic litigation and other regulatory proceedings. These proceedings may be affected by changes in laws and government regulations or changes in the enforcement thereof.

From time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to our business or products we sell or have sold. These proceedings may be in jurisdictions with reputations for aggressive applications of laws and procedures against corporate defendants. We are impacted by trends in litigation, including class-action allegations brought under various consumer protection and employment laws, including wage and hour laws. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, regardless of the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceedings, these proceedings could result in substantial costs and may require that we devote substantial resources to defend our Company and could affect the future premiums we would be required to pay on our insurance policies. Further, changes in governmental regulations could have adverse effects on our business and subject us to additional regulatory actions.

On April 1, 2011, a judgment for $5.1 million by the California Superior Court was entered against us in favor of Save Mart Supermarkets (“Save Mart”). We recorded a $5.1 million liability and expense in selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 29, 2011. On August 24, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart (the “Settlement Agreement”) to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release us of all liabilities, and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The Settlement includes three parts: 1) a $0.5 million cash consideration payable to Save Mart, 2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and us, and 3) the lease of a new property to us. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement during the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011, we have satisfied the $0.5 million cash consideration and recorded a $1.6 million reduction to this liability. For a description of certain current legal proceedings, see “Legal Proceedings.”

We intend to open new stores at an increased rate compared to recent years, which could strain our resources and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Our future growth depends in part on our ability to successfully open and operate new stores profitably. As of October 29, 2011, we operated 89 full-service hardware stores in California. We opened four new stores in California within the past three years. We opened one new store in 2011 and anticipate opening additional new stores in 2012. We intend initially to open these new stores within California; however, we may expand into locations outside of California. Expanding our store base will require us to invest significant financial resources and place increased demands on our management, operational and administrative infrastructure. In addition, our planned expansion will require us to increase continually the number of people we employ, as well as to expand and upgrade our management information, inventory tracking and other systems. Successfully opening a new store is a significant operational and administrative challenge. It is possible that we may not foresee all of the problems that could arise during a store opening or realize the expected benefits of opening a particular store. An increased number of stores may also make it more difficult for us to maintain our customer service standards and develop and implement the financial controls and procedures and reporting systems that will be required of us as a public company. If we fail to meet these increased demands and operating complexities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to regulations that impact our business and a failure to comply with such regulations could lead to lawsuits or regulatory actions against us.

Operating in California exposes us to a particularly challenging regulatory environment, with aggressive enforcement efforts by private litigators in several areas of law, including, without limitation, environmental laws, consumer protection laws, employment laws, anti-discrimination laws, and wage and hour regulations and laws. This strict regulatory and litigation environment requires the Company to maintain a heightened compliance effort and exposes us to defense costs, possible fines and penalties, and liability to private parties for monetary recoveries and attorneys’ fees, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

California and federal employment and labor laws govern our relationship with our employees and affect our operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements and sales taxes. We are currently, and from time to time in the past have been, the subject of lawsuits by certain of our employees alleging various violations of these regulations, including suits alleging that we wrongfully denied certain of our employees overtime wages or that we unlawfully deducted costs for workers compensation expenses. A determination that we do not comply with these laws or other related laws could harm our profitability or business reputation. Future government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence or mandated health benefits could also materially and adversely affect us.

From time to time we are subject to claims of employment discrimination, unlawful employment practices and Americans with Disabilities Act claims.

If we do not maintain the security of our customer, associate or company information, we could damage our reputation, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation.

Any significant compromise or breach of customer, associate or company data security either held and maintained by the Company or our third-party providers could significantly damage our reputation and result in additional costs, lost sales, fines and lawsuits. The regulatory environment related to information security and privacy is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to our business, and compliance with those requirements could result in additional costs. There is no guarantee that the procedures that we have implemented to protect against unauthorized access to secured data are adequate to safeguard against all data security breaches. A data security breach could negatively impact our business and our results of operations.

If we are unable to renew or enter into new store leases on competitive terms our revenue or results of operations could be negatively impacted.

As of October 29, 2011, we leased 75 store locations under long-term agreements. If our cost of leasing existing stores increases, we may be unable to maintain our existing store locations as leases expire. Our profitability may decline if we fail to enter into new leases on competitive terms or at all, or we may not be able to locate suitable alternative stores or additional

Table of Contents

sites for our new store expansion in a timely manner. Furthermore, a small number of our leases will expire within the next ten years and some do not grant us any rights to renew the lease. A failure to renew or enter into new leases could reduce our revenue and negatively impact our results of operations.

We are required to comply with increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, the cost of which is likely to increase and may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

Our operations, properties and the products we sell are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern our current operations, properties and the products we sell, but also impose potential liability on us for our past operations. We expect environmental laws and regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon our industry and us in the future. Our costs to comply with these laws and regulations may increase as these requirements become more stringent in the future, and these increased costs may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

If we fail to timely and effectively obtain shipments of product from our vendors and deliver merchandise to our customers, our operating results will be adversely affected.

We cannot control all of the various factors that might affect our timely and effective procurement of supplies of product from our vendors and delivery of merchandise to our customers. A majority of the products that we purchase, domestically or overseas, must be shipped to our distribution center in Tracy, California. Our utilization of foreign imports also makes us vulnerable to risks associated with products manufactured abroad, including, among other things, risks of damage, destruction or confiscation of products while in transit to our distribution center, work stoppages including as a result of events such as longshoremen strikes, transportation and other delays in shipments including as a result of heightened security screening and inspection processes or other port-of-entry limitations or restrictions in the United States, lack of freight availability and freight cost increases. In addition, if we experience a shortage of a popular item, we may be required to arrange for additional quantities of the item, if available, to be delivered to us through airfreight, which is significantly more expensive than standard shipping by sea. As a result, we may not be able to obtain sufficient freight capacity on a timely basis or at favorable shipping rates and, therefore, we may not be able to timely receive merchandise from our vendors or deliver our products to our customers.

We rely upon proprietary and third-party land-based carriers for merchandise shipments to our facility in Tracy, California and from this facility to our stores. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks, including labor disputes, union organizing activity, inclement weather and increased transportation costs, associated with such carriers’ ability to provide delivery services to meet our inbound and outbound shipping needs. In addition, if the cost of fuel continues to rise or remains at current levels, the cost to deliver merchandise from the distribution center to our stores may rise which could have an adverse impact on our profitability. Failure to procure and deliver merchandise either to us or to our customers in a timely, effective and economically viable manner could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business. In addition, any increase in distribution costs and expenses could adversely affect our future financial performance.

We rely on foreign sources for merchandise, and our business may therefore be negatively affected by the risks associated with international trade.

A portion of our merchandise is purchased from foreign vendors, either directly by us or indirectly by our distributors who, in turn, sell this merchandise to us. We believe that in order to remain competitive we must maintain or increase the portion of merchandise purchased from such vendors. This reliance on foreign vendors results in our facing risks inherent in purchasing from foreign suppliers, including:

 

   

economic and political instability in countries where these vendors are located;

 

   

increases in shipping costs;

 

   

transportation delays and interruptions;

 

   

adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

 

   

changes in U.S. and foreign laws affecting the importation and taxation of goods, including duties, tariffs and quotas, or changes in the enforcement of those laws.

Any increase in cost to us of merchandise purchased from foreign vendors or restriction on the merchandise made available to us by such vendors could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If our relationships with our vendors were to be impaired, it could have a negative impact on our competitive position and our business and financial performance.

Most of our vendor arrangements are not long-term agreements, and, therefore, our success depends on maintaining good relations with our vendors. Our growth strategy depends to a significant extent on the willingness and ability of our vendors to supply us with sufficient inventory to stock our new stores. If we fail to strengthen our relations with our existing vendors or to enhance the quality of merchandise they supply us, or if we cannot maintain or acquire new vendors of favored brand name merchandise, our ability to obtain a sufficient amount and variety of merchandise at acceptable prices may be limited, which would have a negative impact on our competitive position. In addition, our inability to stock our stores with new and desired merchandise at attractive prices could result in lower revenues and decreased customer interest in our stores, which, in turn, would adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, we may not be able to develop relationships with new vendors, and products from alternative sources, if any, may be of a lesser quality and more expensive than those we currently purchase. During fiscal 2010, branded products acquired under license from Sears Holdings, including Kenmore and Craftsman products, accounted for approximately 6% of total purchases of all inventory from all vendors. Merchandise supplied to stores by our top ten suppliers accounted for approximately 24.4% of our total purchases. The loss of or a reduction in the amount of merchandise made available to us by Sears Holdings or by these other key vendors could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our ability to obtain commercial insurance at acceptable prices, or at all, may increase our costs and lower our operating results.

We believe that extensive commercial insurance coverage is prudent for risk management. Prior to the Distribution, we obtain our umbrella insurance policy and several other policies through policies obtained by Sears Holdings and we benefit from the lower insurance premiums that Sears Holdings is able to obtain. Upon our spin-off from Sears Holdings, we will no longer be covered under these Sears Holdings policies and we will be required to obtain independent insurance coverage for replacement of these policies. We may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage for such replacement policies at reasonable costs or at all and, in any event, anticipate that the cost of our insurance will increase significantly as compared to the amounts we were charged when our insurance was provided under Sears Holdings’ plans. In addition, for certain types or levels of risk, such as risks associated with earthquakes or terrorist attacks, we might determine that we cannot obtain commercial insurance at acceptable prices. Therefore, we might choose to forego or limit our purchase of relevant commercial insurance, choosing instead to self-insure one or more types or levels of risks. If we suffer a substantial loss that is not covered by commercial insurance, the loss and attendant expenses could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Also, insurance may not be available in the future with the scope of coverage and in amounts of coverage adequate to insure against such risks and disturbances.

Risks Relating to our Relationship with and Separation from Sears Holdings

Following the Distribution, we will continue to depend on Sears Holdings to provide us with many key services for our business and we will be required to develop our own systems quickly and cost-effectively.

Prior to the Distribution, we have been operating as an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings, and certain key services required by us for the operation of our business are currently provided by Sears Holdings. We have or will have, prior to the completion of the Distribution, entered into agreements with Sears Holdings or its subsidiaries related to the Distribution including, among others, the Distribution Agreement, Transition Services Agreement, Appliances Agreement and Brands Agreements.

Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, a subsidiary of Sears Holdings will provide us with accounting, human resources, certain employee benefits, logistical and supply chain, information technology, environmental and safety program, risk management and insurance and inventory support services. The Transition Services Agreement will continue for a period not to exceed twelve months from the date of the Distribution. We will pay the fees, expenses and taxes incurred by Sears Holdings or its subsidiaries in connection with its provision of the services as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. The Transition Services Agreement may be terminated (i) by mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) for cause by either party, (iii) for convenience by us upon sixty days’ prior written notice to Sears Holdings or (iv) the sixtieth day following our receipt of written notice from Sears Holdings terminating the agreement due to a change in control of us.

We believe it is necessary for Sears Holdings to provide these services to us under the Transition Services Agreement to facilitate the efficient operation of our business as we transition to becoming an independent publicly traded company. We

 

40


Table of Contents

will, as a result, initially be dependent on our relationship with Sears Holdings for transitional services following the Distribution. Although Sears Holdings is contractually obligated to provide us with these services until at least the first anniversary of the Distribution, these services may not be provided at the same level as when we were part of Sears Holdings, and we may not be able to obtain the same benefits. When Sears Holdings is no longer obligated to provide these services to us, we may not be able to replace these transitional services on terms and conditions, including costs, as favorable as those we will receive from Sears Holdings.

As a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, we may experience increased costs resulting from a decrease in the purchasing power we currently have as a result of being a subsidiary of Sears Holdings.

Prior to our separation from Sears Holdings, we are able to take advantage of Sears Holdings’ size and purchasing power in procuring services, including insurance, advertising, shipping and receiving, logistics, store maintenance contracts, employee benefit support, credit and debit card interchange fees and other services. As a result of our separation from Sears Holdings, we will be a smaller company than Sears Holdings and we will not have access to financial and other resources comparable to those available to us prior to the Distribution. As a company independent from Sears Holdings, we may be unable to obtain goods, technology and services at prices and on terms as favorable as those available to us prior to the Distribution, which could increase our costs and reduce our profitability.

We may have been able to receive better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we receive in our agreements with Sears Holdings.

The agreements related to our spin-off from Sears Holdings, including the Distribution Agreement, Transition Services Agreement, Appliances Agreement and Brands Agreements, have been negotiated in the context of our separation from Sears Holdings while we are still a majority owned indirect subsidiary of Sears Holdings. Accordingly, these agreements may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties. The terms of the agreements being negotiated in the context of our spin-off are related to, among other things, the principal actions needed to be taken in connection with the spin-off, indemnification and other obligations among Sears Holdings and us and the nature of the commercial arrangements between us and Sears Holdings following the Distribution. We may have received better terms from third parties because third parties may have competed with each other to obtain the right to enter into certain of these agreements with us. However, these agreements generally incorporate arm’s length terms and conditions, including market-based pricing and term of duration.

Conflicts may arise between Sears Holdings and us in a number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships, including:

 

   

business opportunities that may be attractive to both Sears Holdings and us;

 

   

the nature, quality and pricing of transitional services Sears Holdings has agreed or will agree to provide to us;

 

   

labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising from our separation from Sears Holdings;

 

   

major business combinations involving us;

 

   

employee retention and recruiting; and

 

   

intellectual property matters.

Currently, Sears Roebuck, Kmart stores, and certain specialty retail stores owned by Sears Holdings or that are operated by franchisees and dealers authorized by Sears Holdings have product lines that are similar to ours. Following the Distribution, Sears Holdings is under no contractual obligation not to compete with us or from opening new Sears Roebuck, Kmart or specialty stores in locations we have targeted for expansion. In addition, our ability to sell merchandise under Sears Holdings’ proprietary brands, such as Craftsman, Easy Living, Kenmore and Weatherbeater, will be subject to the terms of the Appliances Agreement and Brands Agreements. The Appliances Agreement grants Sears Holdings control over the assortment of merchandise available to us and may therefore affect our use of floor space and the type of merchandise available to our customers.

Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock and the Distribution

Becoming a public company will increase our expenses and administrative burden, in particular to bring our Company into compliance with certain provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, to which we are not currently subject.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These increased costs and expenses may arise from various factors, including financial reporting, costs associated with complying with federal securities laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), tax administration, and legal and human resources related functions. In anticipation of becoming a public company, we will need to create or revise the roles and duties of our board committees, adopt additional internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, retain a transfer agent and adopt an insider trading policy in compliance with our obligations under the securities laws.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and related regulations implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to new and proposed rules and cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed. The costs of compliance or our failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

We also expect that being a public company subject to these rules and regulations will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley could have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

As a public company, we will be required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which will require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending February 2, 2013, a report by our independent registered public accounting firm that addresses the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet our deadline for compliance with Section 404. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are also important to the operation of our business. We also expect that the imposition of these regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly. We may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, then investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. In addition, if we do not maintain effective internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial information on a timely basis, which could harm the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock, impair our ability to raise additional capital, or jeopardize our continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange on which our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may be listed.

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock or any other shares of our capital stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock do not entitle the holders thereof to any dividends. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the business. Further, our current credit arrangements generally prohibit our paying of cash dividends. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our capital stock in the form of dividends. The terms of the Preferred Stock will provide that dividends and other distributions may not be paid on

 

42


Table of Contents

any shares of our capital stock until all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock have been redeemed or repurchased unless such dividend or distribution (i) has been unanimously approved by our board of directors, (ii) relates to a “poison pill” stockholder rights plan or (iii) is a distribution of cash in lieu of fractional shares made in connection with the Distribution.

Our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may have a low trading volume and limited liquidity, resulting from a lack of analyst coverage and institutional interest.

Our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may receive limited attention from market analysts. Lack of up-to-date analyst coverage may make it difficult for potential investors to fully understand our operations and business fundamentals, which may limit our trading volume. In addition, if neither ESL nor ACOF is actively trading our Class A Common Stock, our trading volume may be limited. The Stockholders’ Agreement will provide that during the period beginning on the date of the spin-off and ending on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date that ACOF completes the acquisition of an aggregate number of additional shares of common stock equal to 15% of the total shares of common stock outstanding as of such date and (ii) the date that is six months from the date on which the distribution agent has completed the electronic issuance of all of the shares of our Class A Common Stock in connection with the spin-off (with such period subject to extension upon certain circumstances detailed in the Stockholders’ Agreement), none of the Company, ESL, Edward S. Lampert or William C. Crowley, nor any of their affiliates will (i) acquire, directly or indirectly, any securities of ours or our subsidiaries or (ii) knowingly or intentionally hinder or inhibit ACOF from making any such purchases of our securities, subject to certain restrictions. Such limited liquidity may impede the development of institutional interest in our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock, and could limit the value of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Additionally, low trading volumes and lack of analyst coverage may limit your ability to resell your stock. Low trading volume may be particularly pronounced in the case of shares of our Preferred Stock because such shares will only be quoted on the OTCQB, the “Pink Sheets” or another OTC quotation system where there is generally less liquid trading and less participation by market makers.

Our principal stockholders have substantial control over us following the Distribution and, among other things, they could delay or prevent a change in corporate control and may have interests different than yours.

We will have four classes of capital stock following the Distribuiton:

 

   

Class A Common Stock, which is entitled to one vote per share and which elects eight members of our board of directors;

 

   

Class B Common Stock, which is entitled to one-tenth of a vote per share and which, together with our Class C Common Stock, elects two members of our board of directors;

 

   

Class C Common Stock, which is entitled to one vote per share and which, together with our Class B Common Stock, elects two members of our board of directors; and

 

   

Preferred stock, of which the Preferred Stock is a series and which does not have voting rights.

As of the Distribution, ESL will own approximately 61% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 61% of Class A Common Stock voting power and approximately 49% of the general voting power of our outstanding capital stock, and will own approximately 61% of our outstanding Preferred Stock, which is our outstanding nonvoting capital stock. As of the Distribution, ACOF, will own 100% of our outstanding Class C Common Stock, representing approximately 99% of the collective voting power of our Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock voting together and approximately 20% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that will be in effect at the Distribution, at any time that ACOF owns a number of shares of our Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock representing in the aggregate a percentage of our outstanding common stock that is less than 10% but equal to or greater than 5% (calculated without reference to any shares of capital stock issued or issuable after the Distribution), then the Class C Common Stock, voting together with the Class B Common Stock as a single class, shall have the right to elect only one director. If at any time ACOF owns a number of shares of our Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock representing in the aggregate a percentage of our outstanding common stock that is less than 5% (calculated without reference to any shares of capital stock issued or issuable after the Distribution), then there shall no longer be separate classes of directors and all classes of our capital stock entitled to vote for directors would vote together as a single class.

As a result of their respective capital stock ownership, as of the distribution date, ESL and ACOF acting together would have the ability to control the outcome of certain matters on which holders of all classes of our capital stock vote together as a

 

43


Table of Contents

single class, including, among other things, approving mergers or other business combinations and effecting certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, as of the distribution date, ESL will hold a majority of the stock that votes in the election of those members of our board of directors elected by the holders of our Class A Common Stock and ACOF will have the power to control the election of the two members of our board of directors elected by the Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock stockholders (the outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock will, following the Distribution, collectively have less than 0.5% of the voting power of our capital stock). This concentration of ownership might harm the market price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock by discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. In addition, the interests of ESL and ACOF may differ from or be opposed to the interests of our other stockholders.

In addition, ACOF will have preemptive rights over our issuance of certain debt pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement. Unless otherwise consented to by ACOF, such preemptive rights require us to notify ACOF of the terms of certain debt that we wish to issue and provide them the opportunity to purchase up to 100% of such debt, depending on the time such event occurs and on other circumstances. Complying with this process could hinder our ability to timely take advantage of favorable market conditions to obtain debt financing on advantageous terms.

Further, the Stockholders’ Agreement will provide Class B/C Directors with consent rights, so long as ACOF, together with its affiliates and transferees, beneficially owns shares of Class B and/or C Common Stock that represent at least 15% of the total voting shares at the time of the Distribution over certain corporate activities, including any change in control, certain changes in the number of directors constituting our board of directors, any redemption of our Series A Preferred Stock , certain changes to our Charter or By-laws, issuances by us of stock (other than in connection with stock plans or similar arrangements), rights offerings and any liquidation of our corporate assets. The Stockholders’ Agreement will also provide for, so long as ESL, holds more shares of our common stock than ACOF, that a non-management Class A Director designated by a majority vote of our Class A Directors will have a consent right over certain corporate activities, including our issuance of any capital stock (other than in connection with stock plans or similar arrangements) and our engaging in any rights offering. These consent rights may limit our ability to enter into the corporate activities subject to such consent rights.

Our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock prices may decline if ESL or ACOF alter their strategy with respect to their ownership of our capital stock.

ESL and ACOF have advised us that they have not reached any decision regarding whether or for how long they will retain their stock ownership in us and what form, if any, the disposition or distribution of their stock in us will take. ESL and ACOF will, in their sole discretion, determine the timing and terms of any transactions with respect to their shares in us, taking into account business and market conditions and other factors that they deem relevant. Neither ESL nor ACOF are subject to any contractual obligation to maintain their ownership position in us, although they may be subject to certain transfer restrictions imposed by securities laws and the Stockholders’ Agreement. Consequently, we cannot assure you that either ESL or ACOF will maintain their ownership of our capital stock. Any announcement by ESL or ACOF that they have reached a determination regarding what to do with their shares of our capital stock, or the perception by the investment community that ESL or ACOF has reached such a determination, could have an adverse impact on the price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

Risks Relating to the Spin-Off

If the Distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-off are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.

Sears Holdings received an IRS Ruling substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Distribution, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock, will qualify as tax-free under Section 355 of the Code. The IRS Ruling also provides that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distribution will qualify for nonrecognition tax treatment under the Code. The IRS Ruling is binding upon the Internal Revenue Service, but its continued validity is subject to factual representations that we and Sears Holdings made to the Internal Revenue Service concerning certain conditions that are necessary to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code have been satisfied. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service will not rule on whether a distribution satisfies certain requirements necessary to obtain tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code. Therefore, in addition to obtaining the IRS Ruling, Sears Holdings expects to receive an opinion from the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP as to the satisfaction of these required qualifying conditions. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. Accordingly, the Internal Revenue Service may reach conclusions with respect to the spin-off that are different from the conclusions reached in the opinion. The opinion will be based on certain facts and assumptions, and certain representations and undertakings, which, if incomplete, incorrect or not satisfied, could alter counsel’s conclusions.

 

44


Table of Contents

If the Distribution ultimately is determined to be taxable, the Distribution could be treated as a taxable dividend or capital gain to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and they could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, Sears Holdings would recognize a taxable gain to the extent that the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock exceeds Sears Holdings’ tax basis in such stock on the date of the Distribution. Sears Holdings would not expect tax on such gain, if any, to be substantial.

Dispositions or redemptions of our Preferred Stock received in the Distribution may have less favorable tax consequences than dispositions or redemptions of our Class A Common Stock received in the Distribution.

Any Preferred Stock received by a Sears Holdings stockholder in the Distribution will constitute “Section 306 stock” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, any cash received by a Sears Holdings stockholder in lieu of fractional shares of Preferred Stock generally will be treated as ordinary dividend income.

Furthermore, subsequent dispositions or redemptions of our Preferred Stock generally will also be treated as ordinary dividend income, even if such proceeds would otherwise have resulted in capital gain or do not exceed such stockholder’s basis in our Preferred Stock, unless our Preferred Stock is disposed or redeemed in a transaction that terminates the stockholder’s entire interest in us (including any of our Class A Common Stock and taking into account certain constructive ownership rules).

The rules relating to Section 306 stock are complicated and stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of those rules.

We might not be able to engage in desirable strategic transactions and equity issuances following the Distribution because of restrictions relating to U.S. federal income tax requirements for tax-free distributions.

Our ability to engage in significant equity transactions will be limited or restricted after the Distribution in order to preserve for U.S. federal income tax purposes the tax-free nature of the Distribution by Sears Holdings. Even if the Distribution otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code, it may be taxable to Sears Holdings if 50% or more, by vote or value, of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock or Sears Holdings’ common stock are acquired or issued as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Distribution. For this purpose, any acquisitions or issuances of Sears Holdings’ common stock within two years before the Distribution, and any acquisitions or issuances of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock or Sears Holdings’ common stock within two years after the Distribution, generally are presumed to be part of such a plan, although we or Sears Holdings may be able to rebut that presumption. If an acquisition or issuance of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock or Sears Holdings’ common stock triggers the application of Section 355(e) of the Code, Sears Holdings would recognize a taxable gain to the extent the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock exceeds Sears Holdings’ tax basis in our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. If the Distribution was subject to Section 355(e) of the Code, we would not expect tax on such gain, if any, to be substantial.

Under the Distribution Agreement, there will be restrictions on our ability to take actions that could cause the Distribution to fail to qualify for favorable treatment under the Code. These restrictions may prevent us from entering into transactions which might be advantageous to us or our stockholders.

We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our spin-off from Sears Holdings.

As a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, we believe that our business will benefit from, among other things, allowing us to better focus our financial and operational resources on our specific business, allowing our management to design and implement corporate strategies and policies that are based primarily on the business characteristics and strategic decisions of our business, allowing us to more effectively respond to industry dynamics and allowing the creation of effective incentives for our management and employees that are more closely tied to our business performance. However, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve as a company independent from Sears Holdings in the time we expect, if at all.

We may be unable to make, on a timely or cost-effective basis, the changes necessary to operate as a company independent from Sears Holdings, and we may experience increased costs after the spin-off.

In the past three years, we have operated largely independently of Sears Holdings’ corporate organization, although Sears Holdings has assisted us by providing certain corporate functions. Following the spin-off, Sears Holdings will have no obligation to provide assistance to us other than the interim services to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services

Table of Contents

Agreement. Because our business previously operated with the assistance of Sears Holdings, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement the changes necessary to operate entirely independently or that we will not incur additional costs that could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our historical consolidated financial information is not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

Our historical financial performance may not reflect what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had we been a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings during the periods presented, or what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future when we are independent from Sears Holdings. This is primarily because:

 

   

our historical financial information reflects allocations for certain services and expenses historically provided to us by Sears Holdings that may not reflect the costs we will incur for similar services in the future as a company independent from Sears Holdings; and

 

   

our historical financial information does not reflect changes that we expect to experience in the future as a result of our spin-off from Sears Holdings, including changes in the cost structure, personnel needs, financing and operations of our business.

Following the spin-off, we also will be responsible for the additional costs associated with being a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, including costs related to corporate governance and public reporting. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our historical financial performance will be indicative of our future results.

As a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, we may not enjoy the same benefits that we did as a subsidiary of Sears Holdings.

There is a risk that, by separating from Sears Holdings, we may become more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than we would have been if we were still a part of the Sears Holdings organizational structure. As part of Sears Holdings, we have been able to enjoy certain benefits from Sears Holdings’ operating diversity, purchasing power, available capital for investments and opportunities to pursue integrated strategies with Sears Holdings’ other businesses. As a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, we will not have similar diversity or integration opportunities and may not have similar purchasing power or access to capital markets.

Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock and the Securities Market

There currently exists no market for our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. An active trading market may not develop for our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. If our share price fluctuates after the Distribution, you could lose all or a significant part of your investment.

There is currently no public market for our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock. We intend to list our Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OSH” and to quote our Preferred Stock on the OTCQB, and expect that trading for both will begin the first trading day after the completion of the Distribution. We do not plan to have a “when-issued” market for our Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock prior to the Distribution. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market for our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock will develop as a result of the spin-off or be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market may make it more difficult for you to sell our shares and could lead to our share price being depressed or more volatile.

We cannot predict the prices at which our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may trade after the spin-off. The market price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may fluctuate widely, depending on many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

 

   

our business profile and market capitalization may not fit the investment objectives of some Sears Holdings stockholders and, as a result, these Sears Holdings stockholders may sell our shares after the Distribution;

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due to factors related to our business;

 

   

success or failure of our business strategy;

 

46


Table of Contents
   

actual or anticipated changes in the U.S. and California economies or the retailing environment;

 

   

our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;

 

   

our ability to obtain third-party financing as needed;

 

   

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions;

 

   

the failure of securities analysts to cover our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock;

 

   

changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;

 

   

the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;

 

   

overall market fluctuations;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

 

   

actual or anticipated sales or distributions of our capital stock by our officers, directors or certain significant stockholders;

 

   

terrorist acts or wars; and

 

   

general economic conditions and other external factors.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies like us. These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of the Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Substantial sales of Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may occur in connection with the spin-off, which could cause the price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to decline.

Although we have no actual knowledge of any plan or intention on the part of any significant stockholder to sell our capital stock following the spin-off, it is likely that some stockholders, possibly including our significant stockholders, will sell shares of our capital stock if, for reasons such as our business profile or market capitalization as a company independent from Sears Holdings, we do not fit their investment objectives. In particular, Sears Holdings is a member of the S&P 500 Index, while we will not be and, accordingly, certain Sears Holdings’ stockholders may elect or be required to sell our shares following the spin-off due to such stockholders’ own investment guidelines or other reasons.

The Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by ESL and our “affiliates,” the Class B Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock may be sold in the public market only if registered or if the holders thereof qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after the spin-off include individuals who control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted for federal securities law purposes. These individuals may include some or all of our directors and executive officers. Individuals who are our affiliates will be permitted to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock only pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as the exemptions afforded by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 thereunder. Pursuant to the new Stockholders’ Agreement we will be entering into with ESL and ACOF, we expect to grant registration rights to ESL and ACOF.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock could adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities. In addition, our Class C Common Stock, which immediately following the distribution will constitute approximately 20% of the voting power of our capital stock, automatically converts to an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the event ACOF transfers such shares to any person or entity that is not affiliated with ACOF or if at any time ACOF owns a number of shares of our Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock representing in the

aggregate a percentage of our outstanding common stock that is less than 5% (calculated without reference to any shares of capital stock issued or issuable after the Distribution). As a result, sales of a substantial number of shares of Class C Common Stock by ACOF to an unaffiliated third party could also adversely affect the market price of shares of the Class A Common Stock. Additionally, the Class C Common Stock may be converted into Class A Common Stock on the basis of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class C Common Stock upon the approval of our board of directors and subsequent approval of (i) our stockholders voting as a separate class and (ii) the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class C Common Stock voting as a separate class.

Your percentage ownership in us will be diluted in the future.

Your percentage ownership in us will be diluted in the future because of additional equity awards that we expect will be granted to our directors, officers and employees in the future. We intend to establish equity incentive plans that will provide for the grant of common stock-based equity awards to our directors, officers and other employees. Further, shares of Class C Common Stock held by ACOF will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock in certain circumstances. In addition, we may issue equity in order to raise capital or in connection with future acquisitions and strategic investments, which would dilute your percentage ownership.

Provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and of Delaware law may prevent or delay an acquisition of the Company, which could decrease the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock.

Our proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the raider and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These provisions include rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings and the right of our board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval.

We believe these provisions protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board and by providing our board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. However, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board determines is not in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. Accordingly, in the event that our board determines that a potential business combination transaction is not in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders but certain stockholders believe that such a transaction would be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders, such stockholders may elect to sell their shares in the Company and the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock could decrease.

The combined post-Distribution value of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock may not equal or exceed the pre-Distribution value of Sears Holdings common stock.

After the Distribution, Sears Holdings’ common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. We have applied to list our Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OSH” and quote our Preferred Stock on the OTCQB. We cannot assure you that the combined trading prices of Sears Holdings common stock and our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock after the Distribution, as adjusted for any changes in the combined capitalization of these companies, will be equal to or greater than the trading price of Sears Holdings’ common stock prior to the Distribution. Until the market has fully evaluated the business of Sears Holdings without our business, the price at which Sears Holdings’ common stock trade may fluctuate. Similarly, until the market has fully evaluated our business, the price at which shares of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock trade may fluctuate significantly.

It is expected that our Preferred Stock will be quoted on the OTCQB rather than listed on a national securities exchange, there may be limited liquidity in our Preferred Stock and the quote of our Preferred Stock may be volatile, all of which could limit your ability to sell your Preferred Shares.

Although our Class A Stock will be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it is expected that our Preferred Stock will be quoted on the OTCQB, and will not be listed on any national securities exchange, which may limit the trading volume of our Preferred Stock. There is a greater chance for market volatility for securities that are quoted on an OTC quotation system as opposed to a national securities exchange. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations, and generally lower trading volume.

Table of Contents

The OTC quotation system is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information for shares of stock that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Trades in OTC quotation system securities will be displayed only if the trade is processed by an institution acting as a market maker for those securities. Although there initially will be at least one institution acting as a market maker for our shares, that institution will not be obligated to continue making a market for any specific period of time. Thus, there can be no assurance that any institution will be acting as a market maker for our stock at any time. If there is no market maker for our shares and no trades in those shares are reported, it may be difficult for you to dispose of your Preferred Shares or even to obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of your shares.

Moreover, because the order handling rules adopted by the SEC that apply to shares listed on a national securities exchange do not apply to OTC quotation system shares, no market maker will be required to maintain an orderly market in our shares. Accordingly, an order to sell our shares placed with a market maker may not be processed until a buyer for the shares is readily available, if at all, which may further limit your ability to sell your shares at prevailing market prices.

Distribution Agreement

On December 19, 2011, we entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Sears Holdings, which sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement will also govern certain aspects of our ongoing relationship with Sears Holdings following the Distribution.

Internal Reorganization. The Distribution Agreement provides that prior to the Distribution the following actions will occur:

 

   

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into the Company, and, through that merger, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will become effective;

 

   

The Company will cause to become effective our amended and restated bylaws;

 

   

An affiliate of ACOF will exchange its shares of Class A Common Stock for an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock;

 

   

The Company will file a certificate of designation to create, and will subsequently issue to Sears Roebuck, the Preferred Stock; and

 

   

Sears Roebuck will distribute to Sears Holdings all of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock that Sears Roebuck owns.

Orchard–Sears Holdings Arrangements. All agreements, arrangements, commitments and understandings between us and our subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the one hand, and Sears Holdings and its other subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the other hand, will terminate effective as of the Distribution, except certain agreements and arrangements that we and Sears Holdings expressly provide will survive the Distribution.

The Distribution. The Distribution Agreement governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the proposed Distribution. Prior to the spin-off, Sears Holdings will deliver all of our issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to the distribution agent. At the Distribution, the distribution agent will electronically deliver the shares of our Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to entitled Sears Holdings shareholders based on the applicable distribution ratio. Sears Holdings will have the sole and absolute discretion to determine the terms of, and whether to proceed with, the Distribution.

Conditions. The Distribution Agreement also provides that the Distribution is subject to various conditions that must be satisfied or waived by Sears Holdings in its sole discretion. Sears Holdings may, in its sole discretion, determine the record date, the distribution date and the terms of the Distribution and may at any time prior to the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon or modify the Distribution.

Exchange of Information. We and Sears Holdings agree to provide each other with information reasonably necessary to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements of any national securities exchange or governmental authority, for use in judicial, regulatory, administrative and other proceedings and to satisfy audit, accounting, litigation and other similar requests. We and Sears Holdings also agree to use reasonable best efforts to retain such information in accordance with our respective record retention policies as in effect on the date of the Distribution Agreement. Until the end of the first full fiscal year following the Distribution, each party will also agree to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the other with respect to its financial reporting and audit obligations.

Termination. The Distribution Agreement provides that it may be terminated by Sears Holdings at any time prior to the Distribution.

Release of Claims. We and Sears Holdings agree to broad releases pursuant to which we will each release the other and its affiliates, successors and assigns and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees from any claims against any of them that arise out of or relate to events, circumstances or actions occurring or failing to occur or any conditions existing at or prior to the time of the Distribution. These releases will be subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

Indemnification. We and Sears Holdings agree to indemnify each other and each others’ current and former directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing against certain liabilities in connection with the Distribution and each others’ respective businesses.

The Distribution Agreement is filed herewith as exhibit 2.1.

Offer Letter and Severance Agreement with Chris D. Newman

On December 19, 2011, we entered into a revised offer letter with Chris D. Newman to change from our Interim Chief Financial Officer to our permanent Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (the “Offer Letter”). The Offer Letter provides for: (i) an annual base salary of $400,000; (ii) a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $100,000, subject to repayment in certain situations as set forth in the Offer Letter; (iii) a target incentive opportunity under our incentive plan of 75% of his annual salary; and (iv) an equity grant under our new equity incentive plan be based on a grant commensurate with what an individual whose offer letter included an option to acquire 14,000 Company Class B common shares (pre stock split) would receive. In addition, Mr. Newman entered into our standard form of executive severance agreement (the “Severance Agreement”). Under the Severance Agreement, if Mr. Newman’s employment is terminated (other than for Cause, death or total and permanent Disability or for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Severance Agreement), he will be entitled to receive twelve months of pay continuation equal to his annual base salary at the time of termination, subject to certain non-solicitation and other commitments by him. The foregoing descriptions of the Offer Letter and the Severance Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Offer Letter and the Severance Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as exhibits 10.15 and 10.34, respectively.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

On December 16, 2011, our Board and our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and forms of Restricted Stock Agreement and Time-Based Option Agreement for use under the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1 million shares of our Class A Common Stock in connection with the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, dividend equivalents, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing.

A summary of the Plan was provided in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed in connection with the Distribution (File No. 333-175105) in the Section entitled “2011 Equity Incentive Plan” beginning on page 119, which is incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, the summary of such Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, and related forms of award agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.33 hereto.

Except as may expressly be set forth herein, any such Assets are being transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis and the respective transferees shall bear the economic and legal risks that (a) any conveyance shall prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security Interest, and (b) any necessary Governmental Approvals or other Consents are not obtained or that any requirements of laws or judgments are not complied with.

Nothing contained in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall release any Person from:

(iv) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for claims brought against the Parties, the members of their respective Groups or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article V or, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the relevant Ancillary Agreement; or

(e) It is the intent of each of SHLD and OSH, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5.01, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date, between or among OSH or any other member of the OSH Group, on the one hand, and SHLD or any other member of the SHLD Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Distribution Date), except as set forth in Section 5.01(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement. At any time, at the request of the other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.02. Indemnification by OSH. Subject to Section 5.04 and the exception in Section 5.02(d), OSH shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SHLD, each other member of the SHLD Group and each of their respective former and current directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “SHLD Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the SHLD Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the OSH Business, including the failure of OSH or any other member of the OSH Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Liability relating to or arising out of or resulting from the OSH Business in accordance with its terms, whether prior to or after the Distribution;

(b) the OSH Liabilities;

(c) any breach by OSH or any other member of the OSH Group of this Agreement (other than a breach of Section 8.01(e)); and

16


SECTION 5.03. Indemnification by SHLD. Subject to Section 5.04 and the limitation in 5.03(d), SHLD shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless OSH, each other member of the OSH Group and each of their respective former and current directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “OSH Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the OSH Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the SHLD Business, including the failure of SHLD or any other member of the SHLD Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Liability relating to, arising out of or resulting from the SHLD Business in accordance with its terms, whether prior to or after the Distribution;

(b) the SHLD Liabilities;

(c) any breach by SHLD or any other member of the SHLD Group of this Agreement; and

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Form S-1 and any other documents filed with the Commission in connection with the Transactions or as contemplated by this Agreement, but only with respect to the SHLD Disclosure Sections.

SECTION 5.04. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Third-Party Proceeds. (a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement will be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third-party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee from a third-party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) An insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third-party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each member of the SHLD Group and OSH Group shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third-Party Proceeds to which such Person is entitled in connection with any Liability for which

 

17


such Person seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, that such Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) For all Tax purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto shall treat any payment made pursuant to this Article V as a capital contribution or a distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Distribution.

SECTION 5.05. Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. (a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 30 days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 5.05(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.05(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee, except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee (i) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.05(a)) or (ii) to the extent that such engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as reasonably determined by the Indemnitee acting in good faith.

(c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 5.05(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee(s) shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(e) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the applicable Indemnitee or

 

18


Indemnitees; provided, however, that such Indemnitee(s) shall be required to consent to such entry of judgment or to such settlement that the Indemnifying Party may recommend if the judgment or settlement (i) contains no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) involves only monetary relief which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay and (iii) includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Indemnitee be required to consent to any entry of judgment or settlement if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

(f) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

SECTION 5.06. Additional Matters. (a) Any claim on account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(c) In the event of an Action relating to a Liability that has been allocated to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant or add the Indemnifying Party as an additional named defendant, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this Section, the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts, fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

 

19


SECTION 5.07. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 5.08. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of SHLD and OSH and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

SECTION 5.09. Limitation on Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of SHLD, OSH or any other member of either Group shall in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other SHLD Indemnitee or OSH Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5.09(ii) shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third-party not affiliated with any member of the SHLD Group or the OSH Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

ARTICLE VI

Access to Information; Confidentiality

SECTION 6.01. Agreement for Exchange of Information; Archives. (a) Except in the case of an adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by either SHLD or OSH or a Person or Persons in its Group against the other Party or a Person or Persons in its Group, and subject to Section 6.01(b), each of SHLD and OSH, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, at any time before or after the Distribution, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information relating to time periods on or prior to the Distribution Date in the possession or under the control of such respective Group, which SHLD or OSH, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on SHLD or OSH, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable (including under applicable securities laws), by any national securities exchange or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over SHLD or OSH, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. The receiving Party shall use any Information received pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) solely to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable obligations or requirements described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

20


(b) In the event that either SHLD or OSH determines that the exchange of any Information pursuant to Section 6.01(a) could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, such Party shall not be required to provide access to or furnish such Information to the other Party; provided, however, that both SHLD and OSH shall take all commercially reasonable measures to permit the compliance with Section 6.01(a) in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Both SHLD and OSH intend that any provision of access to or the furnishing of Information pursuant to this Section 6.01 that would otherwise be within the ambit of any legal privilege shall not operate as waiver of such privilege.

(c) SHLD and OSH each agree that it will only process information about individual customers and/or employees, including, but not limited to, names, addresses, telephone numbers, account numbers, customer lists, and demographic, financial and transaction information, in each case provided to it by the other Group, in accordance with all applicable privacy and data protection law obligations and will implement and maintain at all times appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect such personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration and disclosure. In addition, each Party agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the other Party in respect of any obligations under privacy and data protection legislation affecting the disclosure of such personal data to the other Party and will not knowingly process such personal data in such a way to cause the other Party to violate any of its obligations under any applicable privacy and data protection legislation.

SECTION 6.02. Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to the requesting Party hereunder shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing herein shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

SECTION 6.03. Compensation for Providing Information. SHLD and OSH shall reimburse each other for the reasonable costs, if any, in complying with a request for Information pursuant to this Article VI. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, such costs shall be computed in accordance with OSH’s or SHLD’s, as applicable, standard methodology and procedures.

SECTION 6.04. Record Retention.

Without limiting the generality of Section 6.01, so long as the financial results of OSH are required to be included in the consolidated financial results of SHLD for financial reporting purposes, OSH shall give SHLD and its officers, employees, counsel and auditors access on reasonable notice during normal business hours to true, correct and complete copies of books, records and contracts and such financial and operating data and other information for the periods required to be included in such financial results with respect to OSH and its Subsidiaries as SHLD may reasonably request.

21


commercially reasonable efforts to cause third parties to provide, to such officers, employees, counsel or auditors such information, records or documentation that SHLD or such officers, employees or counsel may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the preceding sentence (including such information, records and documentation and testing thereof as may be necessary for (i) SHLD and its management to comply with Section 404, entitled “Management’s Assessment of Internal Controls,” of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any successor provisions and (ii) SHLD’s auditors to provide the attestation to, and report on, the internal control assessment made by SHLD and its management required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any successor provisions and the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board).

SECTION 6.06. Limitations of Liability. Neither SHLD nor OSH shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of wilful misconduct by the providing Person. Neither SHLD nor OSH shall have any Liability to the other Party if any Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by OSH or SHLD, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Section 6.04.

SECTION 6.07. Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. (a) After the Distribution Date and until the third anniversary thereof, except in the case of an adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by either SHLD or OSH or a Person or Persons in its Group against the other Party or a Person or Persons in its Group, each of SHLD and OSH shall take all reasonable steps to make available, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective Group (whether as witnesses or otherwise) and any books, records or other documents within its control or that it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action or threatened or contemplated Action (including preparation for such Action) in which SHLD or OSH, as applicable, may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, SHLD and OSH shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions or threatened or contemplated Actions, other than an adversarial Action against the other Group.

(c) The obligation of SHLD and OSH to make available former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other personnel and agents or provide witnesses and experts pursuant to this Section 6.07 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to make available employees and other officers without regard to whether such individual or the employer of such individual could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.07(a)). Without limiting the foregoing, each of SHLD and OSH agrees that neither it

 

22


nor any Person or Persons in its respective Group will take any adverse action against any employee of its Group based on such employee’s provision of assistance or information to each other pursuant to this Section 6.07.

(d) Upon the reasonable request of SHLD or OSH, in connection with any Action contemplated by this Article VI, SHLD and OSH will enter into a mutually acceptable common interest agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of either Group.

SECTION 6.08. Confidential Information. (a) Each of SHLD and OSH, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective Group, shall hold, and cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence and not release or disclose, with at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, that it applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution Date, all Information concerning the other Group or its business that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession prior to the Distribution) or furnished by the other Group or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of any member of the SHLD Group or the OSH Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by any of SHLD, OSH or its respective Group, employees, directors or agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, as applicable, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation to the knowledge of any of SHLD, OSH or Persons in its respective Group, as applicable, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the SHLD Group or the OSH Group, as applicable, or (iv) required to be disclosed by Law; provided, however, that the Person required to disclose such Information gives the applicable Person prompt, and to the extent reasonably practicable, prior notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Person, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such Person. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Person that is required to disclose such Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of SHLD and OSH may release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information concerning the other Group (x) to their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of the obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), and (y) to any nationally recognized statistical rating agency as it reasonably deems necessary, solely for the purpose of obtaining a rating of securities upon normal terms and conditions; provided, however, that the Party whose Information is being disclosed or released to such rating agency is promptly notified thereof.

 

23


(b) Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information concerning the other Group or its business is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each of SHLD and OSH will, promptly after request of the other Party, either return all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party, as applicable, that it has destroyed such Information (and used commercially reasonable efforts to destroy all such Information electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database)).

ARTICLE VII

Insurance

SECTION 7.01. Insurance. (a) With respect to those insurance policies of SHLD that cover OSH as of the date hereof, until and including the Distribution Date, SHLD shall (i) cause the members of the OSH Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to continue to be covered as insured parties under SHLD’s policies of insurance in a manner which is no less favorable than the coverage provided for the SHLD Group and (ii) permit the members of the OSH Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to submit claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred at or prior to the Distribution Date to the extent permitted under such policies. With respect to policies currently procured by OSH for the sole benefit of the OSH Group, OSH shall continue to maintain such insurance coverage through the Distribution Date in a manner no less favorable than currently provided. Without limiting any of the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 7.01(b), SHLD and OSH acknowledge that, as of immediately after the Distribution Date, SHLD intends to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to remove the members of the OSH Group and their respective employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued to any member of the SHLD Group by any insurance carrier effective immediately following the Distribution Date, and that the OSH Group will not be entitled following the Distribution Date, absent mutual agreement otherwise, to make any claims for insurance thereunder to the extent such claims are based upon facts, circumstances, events or matters occurring after the Distribution Date or to the extent any claims are made pursuant to any SHLD claims-made policies. No member of the SHLD Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SHLD shall, and shall cause the other members of the SHLD Group to, use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to cause all insurance policies of the SHLD Group that immediately prior to the Distribution provide coverage to or with respect to the members of the OSH Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to continue to provide such coverage with respect to acts, omissions and events occurring prior to the Distribution in accordance with their terms as if the Distribution had not occurred; provided, however, that in no event shall SHLD be required to extend or maintain coverage under claims-made policies with respect to any claims first made against a member of the OSH Group or first reported to the insurer after the Distribution Date.

(b) After the Distribution Date, the members of each of the SHLD Group and the OSH Group shall have the right to assert Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims and the members of the OSH Group shall have the right to participate with SHLD to resolve Pre-Distribution

 

24


Insurance Claims under the applicable SHLD insurance policies up to the full extent of the applicable and available limits of Liability of such policy. SHLD or OSH, as the case may be, shall have primary control over those Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims for which the SHLD Group or the OSH Group, respectively, bears the underlying loss, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant policy of insurance governing such control. If a member of the OSH Group is unable to assert a Pre-Distribution Insurance Claim because it is no longer an “insured” under a SHLD insurance policy, then SHLD shall assert such claim in its own name and deliver the Insurance Proceeds to OSH. Any Insurance Proceeds received by the SHLD Group for members of the OSH Group shall be for the benefit of the OSH Group. Any Insurance Proceeds received for the benefit of both the SHLD Group and the OSH Group shall be distributed pro rata based on the respective share of the underlying loss.

(c) With respect to Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims, whether or not known or reported on or prior to the Distribution Date, OSH shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the OSH Group to, report as soon as practicable such claims arising from the OSH Business directly to the applicable insurer(s) and to SHLD, and OSH shall, or shall cause the applicable member of OSH Group to, individually, and not jointly, assume and be responsible for the reimbursement Liability (i.e., deductible or retention) related to its portion of the Liability and/or any retrospective premium charges associated with any claims so submitted by it to the extent such amounts payable by SHLD after the Distribution Date are greater than they otherwise would have been, if such amounts had been based on the claim reserves established for such claims immediately prior to the Distribution, unless otherwise agreed in writing by SHLD. SHLD shall, and shall cause each member of the SHLD Group to, cooperate and assist the applicable member of the OSH Group with respect to such claims and shall arrange for the applicable member of the OSH Group to post any such collateral in respect of the reimbursement obligations as may reasonably be requested by the insurers. SHLD agrees that Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims of members of the OSH Group shall receive the same priority as Pre-Distribution Insurance Claims of members of the SHLD Group and be treated equitably in all respects, including in connection with deductibles, retentions, coinsurance and retrospective premium charges.

(d) SHLD shall not be liable to OSH for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any policy for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), policy limitations or restrictions (including exhaustion of limits), any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by any member of the SHLD Group or any member of the OSH Group or any defect in such claim or its processing. In the event that insurable claims of both SHLD and OSH (or the members of their respective Groups) exist relating to the same occurrence, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense and shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy). Nothing in this Section 7.01 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

(e) After the Distribution Date, to the extent that any claims have been duly reported on or before the Distribution Date under the directors and officers liability insurance

 

25


policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Policies”) maintained by members of the SHLD Group, SHLD shall not, and shall cause the members of the SHLD Group not to, take any action that would limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of OSH (or members of the OSH Group) on or prior to the Distribution Date under any D&O Policies maintained by the members of the SHLD Group. SHLD shall, and shall cause members of the SHLD Group to, reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors and officers of OSH (or members of the OSH Group) on or prior to the Distribution Date in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Policies which could inure to the benefit of such individuals. SHLD shall, and shall cause members of the SHLD Group to, allow OSH and its agents and representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to examine and make copies of the relevant D&O Policies maintained by SHLD and members of the SHLD Group pursuant to this Section 7.01(e). SHLD shall provide, and shall cause other members of the SHLD Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by OSH in order for OSH to have in effect after the Distribution Date such new D&O Policies as OSH deems appropriate with respect to claims reported after the Distribution Date.

(f) The parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Section 7.01.

ARTICLE VIII

Further Assurances and Additional Covenants

26


(c) On or prior to the Distribution Date, SHLD and OSH, in their respective capacities as direct and indirect shareholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by OSH or any other Subsidiary of SHLD, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Distribution, if either Party identifies any commercial or other service that is needed to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of its business in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that is not otherwise governed by the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties will cooperate in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable arm’s-length basis on which the other Party will provide such service.

(e) Certain Post-Distribution Transactions. OSH shall comply and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with and otherwise not take any action inconsistent with each representation set forth on pages 7 through 12 of the IRS Ruling.

Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Upon any such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

SECTION 10.07. Force Majeure.

Exhibit 10.15

LOGO

December 19, 2011

To: Chris D. Newman

Dear Chris,

Congratulations! I am pleased to extend to you this offer to serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (“Orchard” or “Company”). In this capacity you will be the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and will report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This letter serves as confirmation of our offer and will modify certain terms of your November 7, 2011 offer letter agreement with the Company’s subsidiary Orchard Supply Hardware LLC (“Subsidiary”) (“Prior Offer Letter”). Some key elements of the offer contained in this letter agreement are as follows:

 

   

The effectiveness of this letter agreement with the Company will be December 19, 2011 (“Effective Date”). However, the commencement of your employment with the Subsidiary will still have been November 7, 2011 (“Start Date”) and your employment with the Subsidiary will continue uninterrupted from the Start Date although you will no longer be a “seasonal” employee as of the Effective Date and you shall be compensated through the day before the Start Date in accordance with the Prior Offer Letter. For avoidance of doubt, the “Retention Bonus” referenced in the Prior Offer Letter shall no longer be applicable and will not be paid.

 

   

Base salary at an annual rate of $400,000, paid bi-weekly and in arrears, with periodic increases based on your performance.

 

   

In addition to your base salary, you will receive a sign-on bonus of $100,000 (net of applicable taxes). This will be paid to you on or before January 6, 2012. In the event you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Subsidiary other than for Good Reason (as defined in the attached Executive Severance Agreement), death or disability, or your employment is terminated by the Subsidiary for Cause (as defined in the attached Executive Severance Agreement), before November 7, 2013, you will be required to repay some or all of this bonus to the Company according to the following: (a) if such termination occurs before November 7, 2012, you will be required to repay $100,000 and (b) if such termination occurs on or after November 7, 2012 and before November 7, 2013, you will be required to repay $50,000 to the Company. Repayment is due within thirty (30) days of your separation from service. If repayment is required, then the Form W-2 for the tax year in which you originally received the bonus payment will not reflect such bonus amount and if the Form W-2 has already been filed with the tax authorities then the Subsidiary shall promptly provide you and the tax authorities with an amended Form W-2 for such year reflecting the reduction in your taxable compensation by the amount of your required repayment.

One way we reward great company and individual performance is through our annual incentive plan. You will be eligible for an annual fiscal year target incentive opportunity of 75% of your annual base salary. Your award for fiscal year 2011 (which ends January 28, 2012) will be prorated based on your Start Date. Any incentive payable with respect to a fiscal year (that ends on January 31) will be paid by April 15 of the following fiscal year, provided that you are actively employed on the payment date (subject to the attached Executive Severance Agreement).

 

   

The Company shall recommend to the committee that will administer the Company’s new equity compensation plan that you become a participant in such plan and receive an equity grant under this plan consistent with your role as soon as approved by the committee (but in no event shall the grant date be later than January 30, 2012). Such participation in this new equity compensation plan will be based on a grant commensurate with what an individual whose offer letter included an option to acquire 14,000 Company Class B common shares would receive.

 

   

We also understand how important it is to get away from work from time to time, so you shall receive twenty-four (24) days of paid vacation, which will be prorated this year based on your Start Date.

 

   

During the course of your employment, you will be entitled to participate in a variety of benefits available to salaried associates, including medical, dental and long-term disability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in your Prior Offer Letter, your benefits coverage will begin no later than on the Effective Date provided you enroll within your eligibility period. You will also be eligible to begin participation in the 401(k) savings plan on the first day of the third month following the Start Date. The Subsidiary expects to continue its benefit programs, but reserves the right to modify, amend or terminate any or all of the benefit programs at any time. The Company or the Subsidiary will also timely reimburse or advance you for any business related expenses.

 

   

You will be required to sign the attached Executive Severance Agreement. If your employment with the Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or the Subsidiary (other than for cause, death or total and permanent disability) or by you for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Executive Service Agreement), you will receive twelve (12) months of pay continuation equal to your annual base salary at time of termination. Under the Executive Severance Agreement, you agree, among other things, not to solicit employees for a period of twelve (12) months of your termination and not to disclose confidential information. The non-solicitation and non-disclosure provisions apply regardless of whether you are eligible for severance benefits under this agreement, and the terms of this offer letter are conditioned upon your signing this agreement.

Exhibit 10.33

ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION

2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide a means through which Orchard Supply Hardware Corporation (the “Company”) and its Affiliates may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby current and prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its Affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, or be paid incentive compensation, which may (but need not) be measured by reference to the value of Common Stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and its Affiliates and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

2. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable throughout the Plan:

(a) “Affiliate” means (i) any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company and/or (ii) to the extent provided by the Committee, any person or entity in which the Company has a significant interest. The term “control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any person or entity, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting or other securities, by contract or otherwise.

(b) “Award” means, individually or collectively, any Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Bonus Award, and Performance Compensation Award granted under the Plan.

(c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d) “Cause” means, in the case of a particular Award, unless the applicable Award agreement state otherwise, (i) the Company or an Affiliate having “cause” to terminate a Participant’s employment or service, as defined in any employment or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the time of such termination or (ii) in the absence of any such employment or consulting agreement (or the absence of any definition of “Cause” contained therein), (A) the Participant’s commission of, conviction for, plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or other material act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud, (B) the Participant’s conduct that brings or is reasonably likely to bring the Company or any of its Affiliates into public disgrace or disrepute and that affects the Company or any Affiliate’s business in any material way, (C) the Participant’s failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Company or the Participant’s material violation of any rule, regulation, policy or plan for the conduct of any service provider to the Company or its Affiliates or its or their business (which, if curable, is not cured within 10 days after notice thereof is provided to the Participant) or (D) the Participant’s gross negligence, willful malfeasance or material act of disloyalty with respect to the Company or its Affiliates (which, if curable, is not cured within 10 days after notice thereof is provided to the Participant). Any determination of whether Cause exists shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.


(e) “Change in Control” shall, in the case of a particular Award, unless the applicable Award agreement states otherwise or contains a different definition of “Change in Control,” be deemed to occur upon:

(i) the sale or disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all, of the assets of the Company to any Person or “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than Permitted Holders;

(ii) any Person or group, other than the Permitted Holders, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) (a “Beneficial Owner”) (except that a person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares that any such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company, including by way of merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or otherwise;

(iii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual 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 with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(iv) a reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Corporate Transaction”) involving the Company, unless securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company or the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (or the parent of such corporation) are held subsequent to such transaction by the person or persons who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction;

In addition, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award which provides for the deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the transaction or event described in subsection (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) with respect to such Award must also constitute a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code.

The Committee shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to the above definition, and the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.

Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company.

(e) No member of the Board, the Committee, delegate of the Committee or any employee or agent of the Company (each such person, an “Indemnifiable Person”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person, provided, that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts or omissions of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold them harmless.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the Committee under the Plan.

5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations.

(a) The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and/or Performance Compensation Awards to one or more Eligible Persons.

(b) Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) subject to Section 12 of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to deliver under the Plan 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Reserve”); provided, however, no more than 25% of the Share Reserve may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options; (ii) subject to Section 12 of the Plan, grants of Options or SARs under the Plan in respect of no

 

8


more than 25% of the Share Reserve may be made to any single Participant during any calendar year; (iii) subject to Section 12 of the Plan, no more than 25% of the Share Reserve may be earned in respect of Performance Compensation Awards granted pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan to any single Participant for a single calendar year during a Performance Period, or in the event such Performance Compensation Award is paid in cash, other securities, other Awards or other property, no more than the Fair Market Value of 25% of the Share Reserve, calculated on the last day of the Performance Period to which such Award relates; and (iv) the maximum amount that can be paid to any single Participant in any one calendar year pursuant to a cash bonus Award described in Section 11(a) of the Plan shall be $5,000,000.

(c) Shares of Common Stock used to pay the required Exercise Price or tax obligations, or shares not issued in connection with settlement of an Option or SAR or that are used or withheld to satisfy tax obligations of the Participant shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, not be available again for other Awards under the Plan. Shares underlying Awards under this Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash will be available again for Awards under the Plan.

(d) Shares of Common Stock delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e) Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of shares of Common Stock underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan.

6. Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in the Plan.

7. Options.

(a) Generally. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but

 

9


rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such non-qualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.

(b) Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Substitute Awards, the exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per share of Common Stock for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share (determined as of the Date of Grant); provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant; and provided, further, that a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted with an Exercise Price lower than that set forth herein if such option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) and Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate; provided, further, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) an Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant; (ii) the unvested portion of an Option shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the Option, and the vested portion of such Option shall remain exercisable for (A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or disability (as determined by the Committee), but not later than the expiration of the Option Period or (B) 90 days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death or disability, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the Option Period; and (iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of an Option shall expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company or any Affiliate for Cause.

(d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No shares of Common Stock shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option

accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or shares of Common Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, that such shares of Common Stock are Mature Shares; and (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the shares of Common Stock for which the Option was exercised that number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock for which the Option was exercised. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

(e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Common Stock before the later of (A) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.

(f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Generally. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b) Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by

 

11


the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) a SAR shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant; (ii) the unvested portion of a SAR shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the SAR, and the vested portion of such SAR shall remain exercisable for (A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or disability (as determined by the Committee), but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period or (B) 90 days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death or disability, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period; and (iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of a SAR shall expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company for Cause.

(c) Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of a SAR independent of an option, the SAR Period), the Fair Market Value exceeds the Strike Price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option (if applicable), and neither the SAR nor the corresponding Option (if applicable) has expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.

(d) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each such grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

(b) Stock Certificates; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant to be issued and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and

 

12


deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank stock power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any stock certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(c) Vesting; Acceleration of Lapse of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to 25% of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant; and (ii) the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable Award.

(d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. (i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share). Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement). (ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (ii) defer the delivery of Common Stock (or cash or part Common Stock and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld.

 

13


(e) Legends on Restricted Stock. Each certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the following in addition to any other information the Company deems appropriate until the lapse of all restrictions with respect to such Common Stock:

TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, BETWEEN ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE CORPORATION AND THE PARTICIPANT. A COPY OF SUCH PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION.

10. Stock Bonus Awards; Dividend Equivalents.

(a) Bonus Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Common Stock, or other Awards denominated in Common Stock, under the Plan to Eligible Persons, either alone or in tandem with other awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. Each Stock Bonus Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Stock Bonus Award so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

(b) Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be granted by the Committee based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. No Dividend Equivalent shall be payable with respect to any Award unless specified by the Committee in the Award agreement.

11. Performance Compensation Awards.

(a) Generally. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 7 through 10 of the Plan, to designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the authority to make an award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance

 

14


Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

(c) Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing) and shall include the following: (i) net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) net revenue or revenue growth; (iv) net interest margin; (v) operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets or equity); (vii) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); (viii) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); (ix) expense targets; (x) margins; (xi) operating efficiency; (xii) measures of economic value added; (xiii) asset quality; (xiv) enterprise value; (xv) employee retention; (xvi) objective measures of personal targets, goals or completion of projects; (xvii) asset growth; (xviii) dividend yield; or (xix) any combination of the foregoing. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates as a whole or any business unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance Criteria specified in this paragraph. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall, within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for such Performance Period and thereafter promptly communicate such Performance Criteria to the Participant.

(d) Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria without obtaining stockholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such alterations without obtaining stockholder approval. The Committee is authorized at any time during the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the Performance Compensation Awards granted to any Participant for such Performance Period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in its sole discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting

 

15


principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (vi) acquisitions or divestitures; (vii) any other specific unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (viii) foreign exchange gains and losses; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year.

(e) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

(i) Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

(ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for such period are achieved; and (B) all or some of the portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.

(iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion.

(iv) Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion, except as is otherwise provided in the Plan, to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained; or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 5 of the Plan.

(v) Timing of Award Payments. Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11, but in no event later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the fiscal year during which the Performance Period is completed.

12. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of (a) any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the shares of Common Stock, or (b) unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make any such adjustments in such manner as it may deem equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following:

(i) adjusting any or all of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of the Plan) and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without limitation, Performance Criteria and Performance Goals);

(ii) providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event; and

(iii) cancelling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor);

provided, however, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004)), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustment in Incentive Stock

 

17


Options under this Section 12 (other than any cancellation of Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 12 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

13. Effect of Change in Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may provide that, with respect to all or any portion of a particular outstanding Award or Awards:

(a) the then outstanding Options and SARs shall become immediately exercisable as of a time prior to the Change in Control;

(b) the Restricted Period shall expire as of a time prior to the Change in Control (including without limitation a waiver of any applicable Performance Goals);

(c) Performance Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on such date, and (i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) cause the Participant to receive partial or full payment of Awards for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals, or by assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained or on such other basis determined by the Committee; and

(d) cause Awards previously deferred to be settled in full as soon as practicable.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control transactions with respect to the Common Stock subject to their Awards.

14. Amendments and Termination.

(a) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that (i) no amendment to Section 11(c) or Section 14(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such Section 14(b)) shall be made without stockholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock may be listed or quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code); provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension,

 

18


discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of the Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, and (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR in order to replace it with a new Option, SAR or other Award, and the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.

(c) Extension of Termination Date. A Participant’s Award agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Participant’s employment or service (other than upon the Participant’s death or disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or any other requirements of applicable law, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 7(c), or (ii) the expiration of a period of 90 days after the termination of the Participant’s employment or service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements or other applicable requirements.

(d) Restriction on Grant of Awards. No Awards may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

15. General.

(a) Award Agreements. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee.

(b) Nontransferability.

(i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian

 

19


or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (A) any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved either (I) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (II) as provided in the applicable Award agreement (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B) (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

(iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award agreement.

(c) Tax Withholding.

(i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, from any cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount

 

20


(in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of shares of Common Stock (which are Mature Shares) owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required statutory withholding liability).

(d) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant.

(e) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America and who are not (and who are not expect to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of the Plan or outstanding Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates.

(f) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon his death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however,

 

21


that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate.

(g) Termination of Employment/Service. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), such change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

(h) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to that person.

(i) Government and Other Regulations.

(i) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Common Stock or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the SEC or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Common Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

 

22


(ii) The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Stock to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of shares of Common Stock (in the case of any other Award). Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof.

(j) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(k) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or other awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(l) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.

(m) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the

 

23


independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself.

(n) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

(o) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

(p) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(q) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

(r) Code Section 162(m) Approval. If so determined by the Committee, (i) the Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company no later than the first meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the Company’s initial public offering occurs, and (ii) the provisions of the Plan regarding Performance Compensation Awards shall be disclosed and reapproved by stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which stockholders previously approved such provisions following the Company’s initial public offering, if any, in each case in order for certain Awards granted after such time to be exempt from the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing in this clause, however, shall affect the validity of Awards granted after such time if such stockholder approval has not been obtained.

(s) Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control.

 

24


(t) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of shares of Common Stock under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, stockholder or other agreements, as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(u) Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by applicable law, any amounts required to receive shares of Common Stock under any Award made under the Plan.

(v) Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. To the extent applicable and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan and Awards hereunder shall be administered, operated and interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code prior to the payment and/or delivery to such Participant of such amount, the Company may (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan and related Award agreement, and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and Awards hereunder and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. No action shall be taken under this Plan which shall cause an Award to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable to such Award. However, in no event shall any member of the Board, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including their respective employees, officers, directors or agents) have any liability to any Participant (or any other person) with respect to this Section 15(v).

As adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on                     , 2011.

ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION

2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the provisions of the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), the terms of the Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Agreement (hereinafter “Restricted Stock Agreement” or “Agreement”) is attached and this Restricted Stock Agreement, Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the “Company”) grants you that number of shares of Common Stock indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement or Grant Notice but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

The details of your Award are as follows:

1. THE AWARD. The Company hereby awards to you the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock specified in your Grant Notice. The Shares are awarded to you in consideration for your service to the Company as an employee, director or consultant to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

2. DOCUMENTATION. As a condition to the award of the Shares, and prior to the receipt of share certificates by you (if such certificates are issued by the Company), you agree to execute the Grant Notice, three (3) copies of the Assignment Separate From Certificate (with date and number of shares blank) substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachments III, two (2) copies of the Joint Escrow Instructions, substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment IV, and to deliver the same to the Company, along with such additional documents as the Company may require.

3. CONSIDERATION FOR THE AWARD. No cash payment is required for the Shares, although you may be required to tender payment in cash or other acceptable form of consideration for the amount of any withholding taxes due as a result of the award of, or vesting of, the Shares.

4. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and the Plan, the Shares will vest as provided in the Grant Notice. Vesting is contingent upon your continuous service with the Company or any of its Affiliates as an employee, director or consultant. If your continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates prior to the vesting of all or any number of Shares for any reason, then (i) you shall automatically forfeit any unvested Shares to the Company as of the date of termination without any further action by the Company, and (ii) if dividends have been credited with respect to any unvested Shares and such Shares are forfeited, all dividends credited in connection with such forfeited Shares shall also be forfeited to the Company.

5. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan and any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you may be entitled under the terms of the Award shall likewise be subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

 

1


6. CERTIFICATES. Certificates evidencing the Shares may be issued by the Company and, if so issued, shall be registered in your name promptly after the date hereof, but shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the vesting of such Shares pursuant to Section 4. Alternatively, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue the Shares in uncertificated form, in which case such Shares shall be recorded in your name in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent.

7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Shares that are received under your Award are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Plan. No Share may, at any time prior to becoming vested, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you (including, without limitation, by operation of law) and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

8. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. You shall be the record owner of the Shares until or unless such Shares are reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights with respect to the Shares and you shall receive, when paid, any dividends on all of the Shares granted hereunder as to which you are the record holder on the applicable record date; provided that (i) any cash or in-kind dividends paid with respect to the Shares which have not previously vested shall be withheld by the Company without interest and shall be paid to you only when, and if, such Shares shall become fully vested pursuant to Section 4, and (ii) the Shares shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth herein. As soon as practicable following the vesting of any Shares pursuant to Section 4, certificates for the Shares which shall have vested shall be delivered to you or your legal guardian or representative unless the Company elects to issue the Shares in uncertificated form.

9. SECURITIES LAWS. The issuance and delivery of Shares shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of securities under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, each Participant to whom such security would be issued shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company which satisfies such requirements. The certificates representing the Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

10. MARKET STANDOFF. You agree that the Company (or a representative of the underwriters) may, in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, require that you not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you under the Award, for a period of time specified by the underwriter(s) (not to exceed approximately two hundred fourteen (214) days) following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. You

 

2


further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of such period. In addition, Shares that are received under your Award are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Plan and any transfer restrictions that may be described in the Company’s bylaws or charter in effect at the time of the contemplated transfer.

11. LEGENDS ON CERTIFICATES. The certificates representing the vested Shares delivered to you or registered in your name, as the case may be, as contemplated by Section 8 above shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. All certificates representing the Award shall have affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, or such other form as approved by the Committee, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws:

TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, BETWEEN ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE CORPORATION AND THE PARTICIPANT. A COPY OF SUCH PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION.

12. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue to serve as an employee, director or consultant to the Company or any of its Affiliates. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee, director or consultant or as any other type of service provider for the Company or any Affiliate. Neither you nor any other person shall have any claim to be granted any additional Award and there is no obligation under the Plan for uniformity of treatment of holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of the Award granted hereunder or any other Award granted under the Plan (or otherwise) and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto and/or with respect to you and any recipient of an Award under the Plan need not be the same (whether or not you and any such other recipient are similarly situated).

13. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations, if any, from payroll or any other amounts payable to you, and you further agree to make adequate provision

 

3


for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with your Award, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may satisfy such tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (but not exceeding) the minimum amount required to be withhold and/or by the sale of Shares to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy any such tax withholding obligation. You hereby authorize the Committee to take any steps as may be necessary to effect any such sale and agree to pay any costs associated therewith, including without limitation any applicable broker’s fees.

(b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares or release such Shares from any escrow provided for herein.

14. TAX CONSEQUENCES. You acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review with your own tax advisors the federal, state, local and/or foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. You further acknowledge that you are relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements of the Company or any of its agents. You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your personal tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. You further understand that it may be beneficial in certain circumstances to elect to be taxed as of the Grant Date rather than when the Shares vest by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. You acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement constitutes tax advice.

15. LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 16 PERSONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to confirm to such applicable exemptive rule.

16. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by Federal Express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

17. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of this Award.

 

4


(b) You may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time-to-time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives you, your estate shall be deemed to be your beneficiary.

(c) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

(d) The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of the Award by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Award, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of the Award.

(e) The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding on you and your beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors.

(f) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(g) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

(h) This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

18. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Your Award is subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations that may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any other document, the provisions of the Plan shall control. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

OPTION AGREEMENT

(TIME-BASED STOCK OPTION)

Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Option Agreement, Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the “Company”) has granted you a stock option under the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not defined in this Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of the Grant Notice are a part of the Option Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

The details and terms and conditions of this Option Agreement shall govern your Nonstatutory Stock Option:

1. Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Option will vest as set forth in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your service with the Company as an employee, director or consultant. For the purposes of this Option Agreement, in the event of an involuntary termination of your service with the Company, the termination shall be effective, and vesting shall cease, as of the date stated in the relevant notice of termination and, unless otherwise required by law, will not be extended by any notice period or other period of leave. Subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall determine the date of termination in its sole discretion.

2. Number of Shares and Exercise Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for various adjustments in the Company’s equity capital structure, as provided in the Plan.

3. Method of Payment.

(a) Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your Option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check. Alternatively, in the Committee’s sole discretion at the time your Option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock, your exercise may be implemented pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds. Notwithstanding the terms of the previous sentence, you may not be permitted to exercise your Option pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board if such exercise would violate the provisions of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or other Applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit you to make payment of the exercise price and/or taxes relating to such exercise, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the aggregate

 

1


exercise price or taxes, or such portion thereof, as applicable; provided, however, that you must satisfy all such requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, including without limitation that you have held such shares for such period as may be established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid a supplemental charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes, if any, and that any withholding for tax purposes does not exceed the statutory minimum rate of withholding.

(c) Where you are permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option and/or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering shares of Common Stock, you may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof that you are the Beneficial Owner of such shares of Common Stock, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised and/or the taxes paid, as applicable, without further payment and shall withhold such number of shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit you to make payment of the exercise price in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion, including an exercise effected on a “net exercise” basis. Additionally, you shall have the right to exercise your Option by way of a “cashless” or “net” exercise pursuant to which the Company shall retain that number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the aggregate exercise price of the Option and/or withholding or taxes associated with such exercise, or such portion thereof, as applicable; provided that such “cashless” or “net” exercise: (i) does not result in adverse accounting treatment to the Company, (ii) in respect of any withholding for tax purposes, does not exceed the statutory minimum rate of withholding, and (iii) is not prohibited by the terms of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financing arrangements as in effect from time to time.

4. Whole Shares. You may exercise your Option only for whole shares of Common Stock.

5. Compliance.

(a) Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your Option must also comply with other Applicable Law governing your Option, and you may not exercise your Option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in compliance with Applicable Law.

(b) Plan Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Option if the terms of the Plan do not permit the exercise of Options, or if the Company exercises its rights under the Plan to suspend, delay or restrict the exercise of Options.

 

2


6. Term. You may not exercise your Option before the commencement of its term on the Date of Grant or after its term expires. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, you may exercise all or any part of the vested portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

(a) the date on which your service with the Company is terminated for Cause;

(b) ninety (90) days after your service with the Company terminates for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability;

(c) twelve (12) months after the termination of your service with the Company due to your Disability;

(d) twelve (12) months after the termination of your service with the Company due to your death; or

(e) the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of your Option is prevented within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6(b) as a result of the operation of any provision of the Plan, your Option shall not expire before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the date that you are notified by the Company that the Option is again exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice.

7. Exercise Procedures.

(a) Subject to Section 5 above and other relevant terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, you may exercise the vested portion of your Option during its term by delivering a notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Chief Financial Officer, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

(b) By exercising your Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your Option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company (including any Affiliate) arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your Option, or (2) other applicable events that trigger or may trigger the imposition of income, employment or other taxes.

(c) By exercising your Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your Option, you and your spouse, if requested by the Company, contemporaneously with the exercise of your Option and prior to the issuance of any certificate representing the Shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of your Option, shall execute any agreements by and among the Company and any of the Company’s stockholders which shall then be applicable to the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you, including any and all amendments to such agreements in effect at the time of such exercise, and agree to comply with any and all restrictions which then apply to holders of Common Stock (or the securities which at that time are to be issued upon the exercise of your Option).

 

3


(d) As a condition of any exercise of your Option, you and your spouse, if any, agree that prior to the effectiveness of the first underwritten registration of the Company or its Affiliate’s equity securities under the Securities Act, you shall not transfer any or all of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of your Option unless permitted to do so under the terms of the Plan.

8. Documents Governing Issued Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock that you acquire upon exercise of your Option are subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company’s bylaws, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any agreement relating to such shares of Common Stock to which you become a party, or any other similar document. You should ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a stockholder of the Company prior to the time that you exercise your Option.

9. Limitations on Transfer of Options. Your Option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your Option.

10. Rights Upon Exercise. You will not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until you have given written notice of the exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

11. Option Not a Service Contract. Your Option is not an employment contract, and nothing in your Option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or of the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Option shall obligate the Company or any of its Affiliates, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant or otherwise for the Company or any of its Affiliates.

12. Withholding Obligations and Notice Requirement.

(a) At the time you exercise your Option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a “same day sale” program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company and Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) any sums required to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which arise in connection with your Option.

(b) You may not exercise your Option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied or appropriate arrangements (acceptable to the Company) are made therefor.

13. Notices. Any notices provided for in your Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt, or in the case of notices delivered by mail to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (or with another delivery service), certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

14. Signature in Counterparts. This Option Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

15. Option Subject to Plan Document. By entering into this Option Agreement, you agree and acknowledge that you have received and read a copy of the Plan. The Option is subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and such terms and provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

16. Miscellaneous.

(a) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of this Option.

(b) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Option in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and your personal tax advisor prior to executing and accepting your Option and fully understand all provisions of your Option.

(c) You acknowledge that the grant and terms of this Option are confidential and may not be disclosed by you to any other person, including other employees of the Company and its Affiliates and other participants in the Plan, without the express written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the grant and terms of this Option to your family member, financial advisor, and attorney and as may be required by law or regulation.

(d) The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of the Option Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Option Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of the Option Agreement.

(e) This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their legal representatives, heirs, and permitted transferees, successors and assigns.

(f) This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provision or rule.

(g) This Option Agreement, including those documents and agreements explicitly referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral. This Option Agreement may not be amended, modified or revoked, in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

EX-10.34 5 d268721dex1034.htm SEVERANCE AGREEMENT Severance Agreement

Exhibit 10.34

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

By this Executive Severance Agreement dated and effective as of December 19, 2011 (“Agreement”), Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries (“OSH” or the “Company”) and Chris Newman (“Executive”), intending to be legally bound, and for good and valuable consideration, agree as follows:

 

  1. Effect of Severance.

(a) Severance Benefits. If Executive is involuntarily terminated without “Cause” or Executive voluntarily terminates Executive’s employment for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in Section 2 below), Executive shall be entitled to the benefits described in subsection (i), (ii) and (iii) below (collectively referred to herein as “Severance Benefits”). Executive shall not be entitled to the Severance Benefits if Executive’s employment terminates for any other reason, including due to death or “Disability” (as defined in Section 2 below). Executive shall also not be entitled to Severance Benefits if Executive does not meet all of the other requirements under this Agreement, including under subsection 4(e).

i. Continuation of Salary.

1. OSH or the appropriate “OSH Affiliate” (as defined in Section 2 below) shall pay Executive cash severance equal to Executive’s annual base salary rate as of the date Executive’s employment terminates (“Date of Termination”). Subject to subsection (a)(i)(2) below, payment of such amount (“Salary Continuation”) shall commence on Executive’s “Separation from Service” (as defined in Section 2 below) and shall be paid in substantially equal installments on each regular salary payroll date for a period of one (1) year following Date of Termination (“Salary Continuation Period”), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the OSH or OSH Affiliate obligations under this subsection (a)(i)(1) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis (but not below zero), by the amount, if any, of fees, salary or wages that Executive earns from a subsequent employer (including those arising from self-employment) during the Salary Continuation Period. For avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be obligated to seek affirmatively or accept an employment, contractor, consulting or other arrangement in order to mitigate Salary Continuation. Further, to the extent Executive does not execute and timely submit the General Release and Waiver (in accordance with subsection 4(e) below) by the deadline specified therein, Salary Continuation payments shall terminate and forever lapse, and Executive shall be required to reimburse OSH for any portion of the Salary Continuation paid during the Salary Continuation Period.

2. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a)(i) to the contrary, if the Salary Continuation payable to Executive in accordance with subsection (a)(i)(1) above during the one (1) year after Executive’s Separation from Service would exceed the “Section 409A Threshold” and


if as of the date of the Separation from Service Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as such terms are defined in Section 2 below), then, payment shall be made to Executive on each regular salary payroll date during the one (1) year of the Salary Continuation Period until the aggregate amount received equals the Section 409A Threshold. Any portion of the Salary Continuation in excess of the Section 409A Threshold that would otherwise be paid during such one (1) year or any portion of the Salary Continuation that is otherwise subject to Section 409A, shall instead be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment on the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the date of Executive’s Separation from Service.

3. All Salary Continuation payments (described under this subsection (a)(i)) will terminate and forever lapse in the event of Executive’s breach (in accordance with Section 10 below), and Executive shall be required to reimburse OSH for any portion of the Salary Continuation paid during the Salary Continuation Period.

ii. Continuation of Benefits.

1. During the Salary Continuation Period, Executive will be entitled to participate in all benefit plans and programs (except as specified in this subsection (a)(ii)), as an active associate, in which Executive was eligible to participate on the Date of Termination (subject to the terms and conditions and continued availability of such plans and programs); provided, however, that Executive will not be eligible to participate in the long-term disability plan (as of the 15th day following the Date of Termination), health care flexible spending account (except on an after-tax basis and only through the earlier of the end of Salary Continuation Period or the calendar year in which the Separation from Service occurs), company paid life insurance and the Orchard Supply Hardware Retirement Savings Plan during the Salary Continuation Period. Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents shall be entitled to continue to participate, as active participants, in company medical and dental plans (subject to the terms and conditions and continued availability of such plans) during the Salary Continuation Period.

2. If Executive does not timely execute and submit the General Release and Waiver (in accordance with subsection 4(e) herein) by the deadline specified therein, Executive shall be required to reimburse OSH for the portion of the cost for the benefits referred to under subsection (a)(ii)(1) immediately above paid by OSH during the Salary Continuation Period, and Executive shall instead be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage under the company medical and dental plans as of Executive’s Date of Termination.

3. Subject to subsection (a)(ii)(4) immediately below, in the event Executive provides services to another employer and is covered by such employer’s health benefits plan or program, the medical and dental benefits provided by OSH hereunder shall be secondary to such employer’s health benefits plan or program in accordance with the terms of the company health benefit plans.

 

2


4. All of the benefits described in this subsection (a)(ii) will terminate and forever lapse in the event of Executive’s breach (in accordance with Section 10 below), and Executive shall be required to reimburse OSH for any portion of the cost for the benefits referred to under subsection (a)(ii)(1) immediately above paid by OSH during the Salary Continuation Period, and Executive shall instead be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage under the company medical and dental plans as of Executive’s Severance from Service date.

iii. Outplacement. As of Executive’s Separation from Service, Executive will be immediately eligible for reasonable outplacement services at the expense of OSH or the appropriate OSH Affiliate. OSH and Executive will mutually agree on which outplacement firm, among current vendors used by OSH, will provide these services. Such services will be provided for up to one (1) year from the Separation from Service or until employment is obtained, whichever occurs first. Outplacement benefits described in this subsection (a)(iii) will terminate and forever lapse in the event of Executive’s breach (in accordance with Section 10 below).

iv. Other.

1 In addition to the foregoing Severance Benefits, a lump sum payment will be made to Executive within ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination in an amount equal to the sum of any base salary and any vacation benefits that have accrued through the Date of Termination to the extent not already paid. No vacation will accrue during the Salary Continuation Period.

2. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything herein to the contrary, in the event of Executive’s death during the Salary Continuation Period, any unpaid portion of the Salary Continuation payable in accordance with subsection (a)(i) above shall be paid in a lump sum, within sixty (60) days of death (and no later than amounts would have been paid absent death), to Executive’s estate, and any eligible dependents who are covered dependents as of the date of death shall incur a qualifying event under COBRA as a result of such death.

(b) Impact of Termination on Certain Other Plans/Programs.

i. Annual Incentive Plan. Upon Executive’s Date of Termination, Executive’s entitlement to any award under the applicable annual incentive plan (“AIP”) sponsored by OSH or an OSH Affiliate, shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the AIP document regarding termination of employment.

ii. Stock Plan. Upon Executive’s Date of Termination, Executive’s entitlement to any unvested options, restricted stock or other equity award

 

3


granted to Executive under the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) or any other stock plan sponsored by OSH or an OSH Affiliate shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement and stock plan document regarding termination of employment.

(c) Post-Termination Forfeiture of Severance Benefits. If OSH or an OSH Affiliate determines after Executive’s Date of Termination that Executive engaged in activity during employment with OSH that OSH or an OSH Affiliate determines constituted Cause, Executive shall immediately cease to be eligible for Severance Benefits and shall be required to reimburse OSH for any portion of the Salary Continuation paid to Executive and for the cost of other Severance Benefits received by Executive during the Salary Continuation Period.

2. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, each capitalized term in this Agreement is either defined in the section, exhibit or appendix in which it first appears or in this Section 2. The following capitalized terms shall have the definitions as set forth below:

(a) “Cause” shall mean (i) a material breach by Executive (other than a breach resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to a Disability) of Executive’s duties and responsibilities which breach is demonstrably willful and deliberate on Executive’s part, is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of OSH or the OSH Affiliates and is not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from OSH specifying such breach; (ii) the commission by Executive of a felony; or (iii) dishonesty or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s employment.

(b) “Disability” shall mean disability as defined under the company long-term disability plan (regardless of whether the Executive is a participant under such plan).

(c) “Good Reason” shall mean, without Executive’s written consent, (i) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) in the sum of Executive’s annual base salary and target AIP bonus from those in effect as of the date of this Agreement; (ii) Executive’s mandatory relocation to an office more than fifty (50) miles from the primary location at which Executive is required to perform Executive’s duties immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; or (iii) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach of the terms of this Agreement, including failure of a successor company to assume or fulfill the obligations under this Agreement. In each case, Executive must provide OSH with written notice of the facts giving rise to a claim that “Good Reason” exists for purposes of this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such Good Reason event, and OSH shall have a right to remedy such event within sixty (60) days after receipt of Executive’s written notice (“the sixty (60) day period”). If OSH remedies the Good Reason event within the sixty (60) day period, the Good Reason event (and Executive’s right to receive any benefit under this Agreement on account of termination of employment for Good Reason) shall cease to exist. If OSH does not remedy the Good Reason event within the sixty (60) day period, and Executive does not incur a termination of employment within thirty (30) days following the earlier of: (y) the date OSH notifies Executive that it does not intend to remedy the Good Reason or does not agree that there has been a Good Reason event, or (z) the expiration of the sixty (60) day period, the Good Reason event (or any claim of

 

4


Good Reason) shall cease to exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive fails to provide written notice to OSH of the facts giving rise to a claim of Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such Good Reason event, the Good Reason event (and Executive’s right to receive any benefit under this Agreement on account of termination of employment for Good Reason) shall cease to exist as of the thirty-first (31st) day following the later of its occurrence or Executive’s knowledge thereof.

(d) “OSH Affiliate” shall mean any person with whom OSH is considered to be a single employer under Code Section 414 (b) and all persons with whom OSH would be considered a single employer under Code Section 414 (c), substituting “50%” for the “80%” standard that would otherwise apply.

(e) “Section 409A Threshold” shall mean an amount equal to two times the lesser of (i) Executive’s base salary for services provided to OSH and any OSH Affiliate as an employee for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which Executive has a Separation from Service; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17) for the calendar year in which the Executive has a Separation from Service. In all events, this amount shall be limited to the amount specified under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) or any successor thereto.

(f) “Separation from Service” shall mean a “separation from service” with OSH (including any OSH Affiliate) within the meaning of Code Section 409A (and regulations issued thereunder). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the fact that Executive is treated as having incurred a Separation from Service under Code Section 409A and the terms of this Agreement shall not be determinative, or in any way affect the analysis, of whether Executive has retired, terminated employment, separated from service, incurred a severance from employment or become entitled to a distribution, under the terms of any retirement plan (including pension plans and 401(k) savings plans) maintained by OSH (including by an OSH Affiliate).

(g) “Specified Employee” shall mean a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A (and regulations issued thereunder), which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Supplement A to the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (as amended and restated effective January 1, 2008).

3. Intellectual Property Rights. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s development, work or research on any and all inventions or expressions of ideas, that may or may not be eligible for patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret protection, hereafter made or conceived solely or jointly within the scope of employment at OSH or any OSH Affiliate, provided such invention or expression of an idea relates to the business of OSH or any OSH Affiliate, or relates to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of OSH or any OSH Affiliate, or results from any work performed by Executive for or on behalf of OSH or any OSH Affiliate, are hereby assigned to OSH, including Executive’s entire rights, title and interest. Executive will promptly disclose such invention or expression of an idea to Executive’s management and will, upon request, promptly execute a specific written assignment of title to OSH. If Executive currently holds any inventions or expressions of an idea, regardless of whether they were published or filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office, or is under contract to not so assign, Executive will list them on the last page of this Agreement.

4. Protective Covenants. Executive acknowledges that this Agreement provides for additional consideration beyond what OSH or any OSH Affiliate is otherwise obligated to pay. In consideration of the opportunity for the Severance Benefits, and other good and valuable consideration, Executive agrees to the following:

(a) Non-Disclosure of OSH Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the following, whether or not Executive receives any Severance Benefits under this Agreement:

i. Non-Disclosure.

1. Executive will not, during the term of Executive’s employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate or thereafter, and other than in the performance of his duties and obligations during his employment with OSH or as required by law or legal process, and except as OSH may otherwise consent or direct in writing, reveal or disclose, sell, use, lecture upon or publish any “OSH Confidential Information” (as defined in subsection 4(a)(ii) below) until such time as the information becomes publicly known other than as a result of its disclosure, directly or indirectly, by Executive; and

2. Executive understands that if Executive possesses any proprietary information of another person or company as a result of prior employment or otherwise, OSH expects and requires that Executive will honor any and all legal obligations that Executive has to that person or company with respect to proprietary information, and Executive will refrain from any unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

ii. OSH Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “OSH Confidential Information” means trade secrets and non-public information which OSH or any OSH Affiliate designates as being confidential or which, under the circumstances, should be treated as confidential, including, without limitation, any information received in confidence or developed by OSH or any OSH Affiliate, its long and short term goals, vendor and supply agreements, databases, methods, programs, techniques, business information, financial information, marketing and business plans, proprietary software, personnel information and files, client information, pricing, and other information relating to the business of OSH or any OSH Affiliate that is not known generally to the public or in the industry.

iii. Return of OSH Property. All documents and other property that relate to the business of OSH or any OSH Affiliate are the exclusive property of OSH, even if Executive authored or created them. Executive agrees to return all such documents and tangible property to OSH upon termination of employment or at such earlier time as OSH may request Executive to do so.

 

6


iv. Conflict of Interest. During Executive’s employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate and during any Salary Continuation Period, except as may be approved in writing by OSH, neither Executive nor members of Executive’s immediate family (which shall refer to Executive, any spouse or any child) will have financial investments or other interests or relationships with OSH’s or any OSH Affiliate’s customers or suppliers which might impair Executive’s independence of judgment on behalf of the Company. Also during Executive’s employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate, Executive agrees further not to engage in any activity in competition with OSH or any OSH Affiliate and will avoid any outside activity that could adversely affect the independence and objectivity of Executive’s judgment, interfere with the timely and effective performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities to OSH or any OSH Affiliate, discredit OSH or any OSH Affiliate or otherwise conflict with the best interests of OSH or any OSH Affiliate.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During Executive’s employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate and for twelve (12) months following Executive’s Date of Termination, whether or not Executive receives any Severance Benefits under this Agreement, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any person to leave her/his employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate or assist in any way with the hiring of any OSH or any OSH Affiliate employee by any future employer or other entity.

(c) Compliance with Protective Covenants. Executive will provide OSH with such information as OSH may from time to time reasonably request to determine Executive’s compliance with this Section 4. Executive authorizes OSH to contact Executive’s future employers and other entities with which Executive has any business relationship to determine Executive’s compliance with this Agreement or to communicate the contents of this Agreement to such employers and entities. Executive releases OSH, OSH Affiliates, their agents and employees, from all liability for any damage arising from any such contacts or communications.

(d) Necessity and Reasonableness. Executive agrees that the restrictions set forth herein are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of OSH Confidential Information and to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of OSH and OSH Affiliates. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable.

(e) General Release and Waiver. Upon Executive’s Date of Termination (whether initiated by OSH or Executive in accordance with subsection 1(a) above) potentially entitling Executive to Severance Benefits, Executive will execute a binding general release and waiver of claims in a form to be provided by OSH (“General Release and Waiver”), which is incorporated by reference under this Agreement. This General Release and Waiver will be in a form substantially similar to the attached sample. If the General Release and Waiver is not signed within the time required by the waiver or is signed but subsequently revoked, Executive will not continue to receive any Severance Benefits otherwise payable under subsection 1(a) above. Further, Executive shall be obligated to reimburse OSH for any portion of (i) the Salary Continuation paid during the Salary Continuation Period under subsection (1)(a)(i) herein, and (ii) the cost for the benefits provided during the Salary Continuation Period under subsection (1)(a)(ii) herein. A sample of this General Release and Waiver is provided as Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

7


5. Irreparable Harm. Executive acknowledges that irreparable harm would result from any breach by Executive of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation subsections 4(a) and 4(b), and that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate relief for any such breach. Accordingly, if Executive breaches or threatens to breach this Agreement, Executive consents to injunctive relief in favor of OSH without the necessity of OSH posting a bond. Moreover, any award of injunctive relief shall not preclude OSH from seeking or recovering any lawful compensatory damages which may have resulted from a breach of this Agreement, including a forfeiture of any future payments and a return of any payments and benefits already received by Executive.

6. Non-Disparagement. Executive will not take any actions that would reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the interests of OSH or any OSH Affiliate, nor make derogatory statements, either written or oral to any third party, or otherwise publicly disparage OSH or any OSH Affiliate, its products, services, or present or former employees, officers or directors, and will not authorize others to make derogatory or disparaging statements on Executive’s behalf. This provision does not and is not intended to preclude Executive from providing truthful testimony in response to legal process or governmental inquiry.

7. Cooperation. Executive agrees, without receiving additional compensation, to fully and completely cooperate with OSH, both during and after the period of employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate (including any Salary Continuation Period), with respect to matters that relate to Executive’s period of employment, in all investigations, potential litigation or litigation in which OSH or any OSH Affiliate is involved or may become involved other than any such investigations, potential litigation or litigation between OSH and Executive. OSH will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such investigations, potential litigation or litigation.

8. Future Enforcement or Remedy. Any waiver, or failure to seek enforcement or remedy for any breach or suspected breach, of any provision of this Agreement by OSH or Executive in any instance shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision in the future.

9. Acting as Witness. Executive agrees that both during and after the period of employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate (including any Salary Continuation Period), Executive will not voluntarily act as a witness, consultant or expert for any person or party in any action against or involving OSH or any OSH Affiliate or corporate relative of OSH, unless subject to judicial enforcement to appear as a fact witness only.

10. Breach by Executive. In the event of a breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the non-disparagement provision (Section 6) of this Agreement, the obligation of OSH or any OSH Affiliate to pay Salary Continuation or to provide other Severance Benefits under this Agreement will immediately cease and any Salary Continuation payments already received and the value of any other Severance Benefits already received will be returned by Executive to OSH. Further, Executive agrees that OSH shall be entitled to recovery of its attorneys’ fees and other associated costs incurred as a result of any attempt to redress a breach by Executive or to enforce its rights and protect its interests under the Agreement.

 

8


11. Severability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision(s) shall be modified or restricted so as to effectuate as nearly as possible in a valid and enforceable way the provisions hereof, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision(s) had been originally incorporated herein as so modified or restricted or as if such provision(s) had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed under the internal laws of the state of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Executive agrees that the state and federal courts located in the state of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction in any action, lawsuit or proceeding based on or arising out of this Agreement, and Executive hereby: (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to the service of process in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding against Executive; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process.

13. Right to Jury. Executive agrees to waive any right to a jury trial on any claim contending that this Agreement or the General Release and Waiver is illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, and Executive agrees to try any claims brought in a court or tribunal without use of a jury or advisory jury. Further, should any claim arising out of Executive’s employment, termination of employment or Salary Continuation Period (if any) be found by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to not be released by the General Release and Waiver, Executive agrees to try such claim to the court or tribunal without use of a jury or advisory jury.

14. Employment-at-Will. This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment, and Executive acknowledges that Executive’s employment with OSH or any OSH Affiliate is terminable “at-will” by either party with or without cause and with or without notice.

15. Other Plans, Programs, Policies and Practices. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any other plan, programs, policy, practice or other OSH or OSH Affiliate document, then the provisions of this Agreement will control, except as otherwise precluded by law. Executive shall not be eligible for any benefits under any broad-based company sponsored severance pay program.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits or appendices hereto, contains and comprises the entire understanding and agreement between Executive and OSH (including any OSH Affiliate) and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between Executive and OSH with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and may be amended only by the Chief Executive Officer of OSH.

17. Confidentiality. Executive agrees that the existence and terms of the Agreement, including any compensation paid to Executive, and discussions with OSH (including any OSH Affiliate) regarding this Agreement, shall be considered confidential and shall not be disclosed or communicated in any manner except: (a) as required by law or legal process; (b) to Executive’s spouse or domestic partner, or (c) to Executive’s financial/legal advisors, all of whom shall agree to keep such information confidential.

 

9


18. Tax Withholding. Any compensation paid or provided to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to any applicable federal, state or local income and employment tax withholding requirements.

19. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other parties or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 

    If to the Executive:

   At the most recent address on file at OSH.

20. Assignment. OSH may assign its rights under this Agreement to any successor in interest, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise. This Agreement shall be binding whether it is between OSH and Executive or between any successor or assignee of OSH or affiliate thereof and Executive.

21. Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that a payment or benefit under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A, it is intended that this Agreement as applied to that payment or benefit comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Agreement shall be administered and interpreted consistent with this intent.

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute a valid and binding agreement.

NOTICE: YOU MAY CONSIDER THIS GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER FOR UP TO TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS. YOU MAY NOT SIGN IT UNTIL ON OR AFTER YOUR LAST DAY OF WORK. IF YOU DECIDE TO SIGN IT, YOU MAY REVOKE THE GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER SIGNING. ANY REVOCATION WITHIN THIS PERIOD MUST BE IMMEDIATELY SUBMITTED IN WRITING TO SVP, HUMAN RESOURCES, ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION, 6450 VIA DEL ORO, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, 95119. YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT.

GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER

In consideration for the benefits that I will receive under the attached Executive Severance Agreement, I, and any person acting by, through, or under me hereby release Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, its current and former agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, stockholders, successors, and assigns (“OSH”) from any and all claims arising out of my employment or the termination thereof. This General Release and Waiver is to be broadly construed to encompass all claims of any kind or character whatsoever, whether known or unknown, based upon any matter occurring prior to my execution of this General Release and Waiver and including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, regulation, or ordinance, and any and all common law claims including, but not limited to, claims for wrongful or retaliatory discharge, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, and breach of contract. This General Release and Waiver does not apply to any claims or rights that may arise after the date that I signed this General Release and Waiver. I understand that OSH is not admitting to any violation of my rights or any duty or obligation owed to me.

Excluded from this General Release and Waiver are any claims which cannot be waived by law, including but not limited to (1) the right to file a charge with or participate in an investigation conducted by certain government agencies, and (2) any rights or claims to benefits accrued under benefit plans maintained by OSH pursuant to ERISA. I do, however, waive my right to any monetary recovery should any agency or other third party pursue any claims on my behalf. I represent and warrant that I have not filed any complaint, charge, or lawsuit against OSH with any governmental agency and/or any court.

I hereby expressly waive all rights and benefits under section 1542 of the California Civil Code. Section 1542 provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER (continued)

I hereby acknowledge that the foregoing waiver of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code was separately bargained for. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, it is my intention to hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge Holdings and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with Holdings from any and all charges, complaints, claims, and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which I may have or claim to have regarding events that have occurred as of or before the effective date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all claims related or in any manner or incidental to my hiring, employment with, and the termination of employment. I expressly consent that this General Release and Waiver shall be given full force and effect in accordance with each and all of its terms and provisions relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands, causes of action, if any, to the same effect as those terms and provisions relating to any other claims, demands, and causes of action.

I have read this General Release and Waiver and I understand its legal and binding effect. I am acting voluntarily and of my own free will in executing this General Release and Waiver.

I have had the opportunity to seek, and I was advised in writing to seek, legal counsel prior to signing this General Release and Waiver.

I was given at least twenty-one (21) days to consider signing this General Release and Waiver. Any immaterial modification of this General Release and Waiver does not restart the twenty-one (21) day consideration period.

I understand that, if I sign the General Release and Waiver, I can change my mind and revoke it within seven (7) days after signing it by notifying the Vice President, Human Resources at OSH in writing at Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, 6450 Via Del Oro, San Jose, California 95119. I understand that this General Release and Waiver will not be effective until after this seven (7) day revocation period has expired.

As discussed in Note 3, the Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan are subject to certain financial and other covenants. As of October 29, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under its financing arrangements, and the Company currently believes that it will continue to be in compliance with these covenants through at least the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. However, the decline in the Company's operating results for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, coupled with continued economic weakness in the markets in which the Company operates, has adversely impacted the Company's prospective compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Term Loan. On October 24, 2011, in order to reduce the Company's leverage, a subsidiary of the Company sold its distribution center located in Tracy, California for cash proceeds of $21.2 million, net of fees and on October 26, 2011, the Company entered into the Appliances Agreement with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings that the Company had planned to enter into at the Distribution, pursuant to which it transferred certain inventory purchased from Sears Holdings to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings, for $1.9 million in cash. Additional actions taken by the Company to further reduce the Company's leverage include, on December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California and on December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in three properties occupied by its stores located in Pismo Beach, California, Cottle Road in San Jose, California, and Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California. </font></p> <p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 1px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 4%;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">The Company utilized $21.6 million of the proceeds received in the sale and leaseback transactions to pay-down its Real Estate Secured Term Loan and expects to utilize the remainder of the proceeds to pay-down its Senior Secured Term Loan. In connection with that pay-down, the Company expects to enter into an agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, extend the maturity date to December 21, 2015 and to secure improved financial covenants and to make certain other technical amendments. </font></p> <p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 4%;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">If the agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan does not occur, the Company seeks to remain in compliance with its financing arrangements and generate sufficient liquidity by executing its sales growth strategy by, among other things, making improvements to its stores and store operations and upgrading and differentiating its product assortment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company continues to examine a number of alternatives with respect to future compliance and liquidity, including asset sales and/or sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, if necessary or advisable, the Company may seek to further renegotiate its financing arrangements in order to remain in compliance while continuing to follow its current business plan, which includes plans for store expansion. In such case, if such renegotiations were necessary but unsuccessful, the Company would expect to take certain actions that would allow it to remain in compliance. Such actions could include, among others, a reduction of capital expenditures by delaying or reducing new store openings and store remodels, a reduction in payroll and benefit costs, deferring certain maintenance and other expenditures, as well as generating additional cash through sale or sale leaseback of certain real estate assets in order to reduce leverage. However, the implementation of these actions could result in slower growth and could potentially reduce future sales. </font></p> <p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 4%;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if operating results were to continue to decline or if market conditions were to worsen, the Company may be unable to meet its financial covenants, and lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under its financing agreements. Under such circumstances, no assurances can be given that the Company's financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict its business operations. </font></p></div></div> </div> 14310000 14310000 120000000 7975000 1500000 1000000 6013 6013 6010 6009 false --01-28 Q3 2011 2011-10-29 10-Q 0000896842 6000000 8644 0 Non-accelerated Filer ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORP 59866000 55325000 57573000 44949000 40116000 50769000 262805000 262775000 262990000 739000 1695000 621440000 629992000 602479000 201992000 215907000 227098000 8961000 8044000 15604000 32381000 -917000 16777000 <div> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="4%" align="left"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>6.</b></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>CONTINGENCIES </b></font></td></tr></table> <p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 4%;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">On April 1, 2011, a judgment for $5.1 million by the California Superior Court was entered against the Company in favor of Save Mart Supermarkets ("Save Mart"). The Company recorded a $5.1 million liability and expense in selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 29, 2011. On August 24, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart (the "Settlement Agreement") to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release the Company of all liabilities, and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The Settlement includes three parts: 1) a $0.5 million cash consideration payable to Save Mart, 2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and the Company, and 3) the lease of a new property to the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the $0.5 million cash consideration and recorded a $1.6 million reduction to this liability, which is classified as a reduction to selling and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. </font></p> <p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 4%;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The price paid by the Company for Products purchased from Sears Holdings equals Sears Holdings' cost for such Products. If the Appliance Sales Agreement is terminated by Sears Holdings, Sears Holdings has the right, but not an obligation, to purchase all Products held in the Company's inventory at the last price such Products were sold to the Company.

For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in vendor subsidies.

For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company purchased approximately $3.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of merchandise directly from Sears Holdings, which represented 56% of total purchases of the exclusive brands for each period. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company purchased approximately $3.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of merchandise directly from Sears Holdings, which represented 49% and 44%, respectively, of total purchases of the exclusive brands.

Concurrent with the Recapitalization, the Company and Sears Holdings entered into various agreements, including an appliance sales agreement (the "Appliance Sales Agreement") and a brand sales agreement (the "Brand Sales Agreement") (collectively, the "Agreements"). The salient terms of the Agreements between the Company and Sears Holdings, all of which have an effective date of November 23, 2005, are as follows:

Appliance Sales Agreement — In 2005, the Company entered into an Appliances Sales Agreement with Sears Holdings that granted the Company the right to purchase from Sears Holdings and to sell certain major branded appliances, including major Kenmore-branded appliances (the "Products"). The Company is permitted to sell the Products at currently identified retail locations and if approved by Sears Holdings, at additional retail locations (the "Appliance Stores"). The price paid by the Company for Products purchased from Sears Holdings equals Sears Holdings' cost for such Products. If the Appliance Sales Agreement is terminated by Sears Holdings, Sears Holdings has the right, but not an obligation, to purchase all Products held in the Company's inventory at the last price such Products were sold to the Company. In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly monitoring fee per Appliance Store to Sears Holdings, which currently approximates $0.1 million per year.

In accordance with Sears Holdings' policy, the Company is entitled to receive from Sears Holdings an allocation of vendor subsidies earned from the purchase of appliances made on behalf of the Company. These vendor subsidies are based on contractual relationships established between Sears Holdings and the vendor and are applicable only to purchases made by Sears Holdings. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in vendor subsidies. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in vendor subsidies.

The agreement from 2005 was terminated on October 26, 2011, when the Company entered into a new appliances agreement (the "Appliances Agreement") with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings pursuant to which Sears Holdings has authorized the Company to sell the Products and related protection agreements on a consignment basis as a distributor through its designated retail locations. The Appliances Agreement requires that Sears Holdings pay the Company commissions on the Company's sales of the Products and the protection agreements for the Products. Commissions for Products varies by Product category and Sears Holdings may in its sole discretion modify from time to time the commission rate for each category of Product but the annual weighted-average aggregate commission rate for all categories of Products for each Sears Holdings fiscal year for the Sears Holdings Authorized Hometown Stores as a group, including the Company, will not be less than a specified rate. The products include specified categories of Kenmore, Bosch, Electrolux, GE, LG, Samsung and Whirlpool branded appliances. The agreement generally incorporates arm's length terms and conditions, including market-based pricing and term of duration.

Under the Appliances Agreement, the Company transferred to Sears Holdings its entire inventory of major appliances purchased from Sears Holdings for $1.9 million in cash on October 27, 2011, which represented the Company's cost of the purchased appliances, subject to adjustments based on, among other things, the results of a physical inventory of the purchased appliances and the cost of certain clearance markdowns realized by Sears Holdings during the 60-day period following the effective date of the Appliances Agreement.

The Appliances Agreement has a term of five years. The Company may terminate the Appliances Agreement early for convenience after the first 18 months of the Appliances Agreement or if Sears Holdings fails to comply with any of its material obligations in the Appliances Agreement and the failure remains uncured for 30 days or more following notice. Sears Holdings may terminate the Appliances Agreement early for its convenience by delivering six months' prior written notice to the Company after the first anniversary of the effective date of the Appliances Agreement or if (a) with respect to a Sears Holdings' fiscal quarter, the Company sales of Products during the fiscal quarter are not at least 70% of the Company sales of Products during the same fiscal quarter in the prior year or (b) the Company fails to comply with any of its material obligations in the Agreement and the failure remains uncured for 30 days or more following notice. The Appliances Agreement provides that during its term of the Appliances Agreement, the Company will not be able to operate in California other businesses that sell merchandise similar to the Products. The Appliances Agreement also provides that for two years following the end of the term, the Company will not be able to operate a business that competes with Sears Holdings Businesses at, or within ten miles of, its retail locations that sold Products at any time during the term.

Brand Sales Agreement — In 2005, Sears Holdings granted the Company the right to purchase from Sears Holdings and its approved vendors, as well as to sell certain additional products, which include products marketed under Sears Holdings' exclusive brands, such as Craftsman, Easy Living and Weatherbeater (the "Additional Products"). The price paid by the Company for the Additional Products purchased from Sears Holdings equals Sears Holdings' cost for such Products.

 

The agreement from 2005 will be terminated on the Distribution Date, when the Company enters into new brands license agreements (the "Brands Agreements") with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings to be effective at the Distribution pursuant to which Sears Holdings will allow the Company to purchase a limited assortment of Craftsman products, Easy Living and Weatherbeater paints, Kenmore-branded water heaters and consumer household products directly from vendors. Under the Brands Agreements, the Company will pay specified license fees to Sears Holdings. The Brands Agreements generally will incorporate arm's length terms and conditions, including market-based pricing and term of duration. Each of the Brands Agreements is expected to have a three-year term and may be extended subject to the mutual agreement of the parties. If the aggregate of the Company's Craftsman product sales over any 12-month period falls by more than 25% below the preceding 12-month period following the second anniversary of the Distribution, Sears Holdings will be permitted to terminate that Brands Agreement in its sole discretion with 60 days' notice.

For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in royalty expenses. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in royalty expenses.

Stockholders' Agreement — In November 2005, the Company entered into a stockholders' agreement with Sears Roebuck and ACOF that was amended and restated as of January 8, 2008 (the "Existing Stockholders' Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Stockholders' Agreement, certain of the Company's preferred stock is issuable to Sears Roebuck. The Company, Sears Holdings and ACOF have agreed that this preferred stock will be issued to Sears Roebuck in the form of the preferred stock described herein, and that Sears Holdings will thereafter distribute such preferred stock to its shareholders in the Distribution. The Existing Stockholders' Agreement also provides for certain transfer restrictions, governance provisions, registration rights and other matters.

In connection with the Distribution, the Company, ESL, Edward S. Lampert, William C. Crowley and ACOF will amend and restate the Existing Stockholders' Agreement (as amended and restated, the "Stockholders' Agreement"), and Sears Roebuck will cease to be a party to the Stockholders' Agreement. The Existing Stockholders' Agreement will be terminated and superseded by the provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement.

4. LIQUIDITY

The Company's liquidity is dependent upon the continued availability of borrowings under its current financing arrangements. As discussed in Note 3, the Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan are subject to certain financial and other covenants. As of October 29, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under its financing arrangements, and the Company currently believes that it will continue to be in compliance with these covenants through at least the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. However, the decline in the Company's operating results for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, coupled with continued economic weakness in the markets in which the Company operates, has adversely impacted the Company's prospective compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the Real Estate Term Loan. On October 24, 2011, in order to reduce the Company's leverage, a subsidiary of the Company sold its distribution center located in Tracy, California for cash proceeds of $21.2 million, net of fees and on October 26, 2011, the Company entered into the Appliances Agreement with a subsidiary of Sears Holdings that the Company had planned to enter into at the Distribution, pursuant to which it transferred certain inventory purchased from Sears Holdings to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings, for $1.9 million in cash. Additional actions taken by the Company to further reduce the Company's leverage include, on December 12, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interest in the property occupied by its store located in Hollywood, California and on December 20, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in three properties occupied by its stores located in Pismo Beach, California, Cottle Road in San Jose, California, and Capitol Expressway in San Jose, California.

 

The Company utilized $21.6 million of the proceeds received in the sale and leaseback transactions to pay-down its Real Estate Secured Term Loan and expects to utilize the remainder of the proceeds to pay-down its Senior Secured Term Loan. In connection with that pay-down, the Company expects to enter into an agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, extend the maturity date to December 21, 2015 and to secure improved financial covenants and to make certain other technical amendments.

If the agreement with lenders holding a majority of the principal under the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan does not occur, the Company seeks to remain in compliance with its financing arrangements and generate sufficient liquidity by executing its sales growth strategy by, among other things, making improvements to its stores and store operations and upgrading and differentiating its product assortment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company continues to examine a number of alternatives with respect to future compliance and liquidity, including asset sales and/or sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, if necessary or advisable, the Company may seek to further renegotiate its financing arrangements in order to remain in compliance while continuing to follow its current business plan, which includes plans for store expansion. In such case, if such renegotiations were necessary but unsuccessful, the Company would expect to take certain actions that would allow it to remain in compliance. Such actions could include, among others, a reduction of capital expenditures by delaying or reducing new store openings and store remodels, a reduction in payroll and benefit costs, deferring certain maintenance and other expenditures, as well as generating additional cash through sale or sale leaseback of certain real estate assets in order to reduce leverage. However, the implementation of these actions could result in slower growth and could potentially reduce future sales.

Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if operating results were to continue to decline or if market conditions were to worsen, the Company may be unable to meet its financial covenants, and lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under its financing agreements. Under such circumstances, no assurances can be given that the Company's financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, any refinancing could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict its business operations.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Vendor Rebates and Allowances — The Company receives various vendor-funded rebates and allowances through a variety of programs and arrangements intended to offset the Company's costs of promoting and selling certain vendor products. These vendor payments are recorded as a reduction to the cost of merchandise inventories when earned and, thereafter, as a reduction of cost of sales, as the merchandise is sold. Up-front consideration received from vendors linked to purchases or other commitments is deferred until performance of the specified activity is deemed to be complete. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company earned vendor rebates and allowances of $7.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively. Vendor rebates and allowances deferred at October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 were $11.2 million, $11.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively, and are included as a reduction to merchandise inventories in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Assets available for sale — Assets that have met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC 360-10-45 are recorded at fair value within prepaid expenses and other current assets within the balance sheet of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. At October 29, 2011, the Company had $2.6 million of assets held for sale. There were no assets classified as held for sale at January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

Leases — The Company leases certain stores, office facilities, computers, and transportation equipment. The determination of operating and capital lease obligations is based upon the expected terms of the lease, and the contractual minimum lease payments as defined within the lease agreements. The Company may enter into sale-leaseback agreements to sell certain facilities and lease them back consistent with their current operational use. If the lease under a new agreement is determined to be a capital lease, any gain or loss on the sale would be amortized in proportion to the amortization of the leased asset over the life of the lease. If the new lease is an operating lease, any gain would be amortized in proportion to the gross rent charged to expense over the lease term and any loss on the sale of the asset would be recognized immediately.

On October 24, 2011, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company sold for $21.2 million, net of fees, all of its interest in its distribution center located in Tracy, California, which is comprised of a building containing approximately 458,000 square feet and the underlying land. In connection with the sale of the distribution center, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the distribution center. The commencement date of the lease was October 28, 2011. The lease is for a 20-year period and provides for three five-year extension options. The initial base rent under the lease is $1.7 million per year with 10% increases every five years. The Company recorded a non-cash loss of $14.3 million on the sale of the distribution center for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011. The Company will continue to operate the facility consistent with its existing use throughout the lease term.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") — The Company computes and reports both basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the total potential dilution that could occur from outstanding equity plan awards, including unexercised stock options.

There are no dilutive common stock equivalents, and therefore basic and dilutive EPS are the same for all periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ("ASC 820") defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current assets, merchandise payables, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value. Based on borrowing rates available to the Company, the carrying value of the Company's debt obligations approximated their fair value at October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011, and October 30, 2010.

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company did not record any impairment for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

The Company was not required to measure any other significant non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value as of October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update to revise the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This guidance requires entities to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") along with a total for OCI, and a total amount for comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This accounting standards update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the provisions of this accounting standards update in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This amendment will change the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 29, 2012. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Senior Secured Credit Facility — On December 21, 2006, OSH LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the "Replaced Facility") with a syndicate of lenders. The Replaced Facility provided revolving availability of up to $130 million (subject to borrowing base limits and fixed charge coverage ratio) for a period of five years, maturing on December 21, 2011. On January 29, 2010, OSH LLC amended and restated and extended the Replaced Facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") and reduced the revolving availability down to $120.0 million (subject to borrowing base limits). The amendment bifurcated the facility into a $20.0 million tranche maturing December 21, 2011 with lenders who elected not to extend and a $100.0 million tranche maturing on the earlier to occur of 90 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Secured Term Loan and December 21, 2013 with lenders who elected to extend. As of January 29, 2011, $48.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $8.0 million due in December 2011 and approximately $40.0 million due in December 2013. As of October 29, 2011, $32.0 million was borrowed under the facility, with approximately $5.3 million due in December 2011 and approximately $26.7 million due in December 2013. The Company anticipates repaying $20.0 million on the Senior Secured Credit Facility within the next 12 months. The Company intends to draw funds from extending lenders to repay amounts due to non-extending lenders.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also permits the ability to obtain letters of credit. As of October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, there were $8.1 million, $7.3 million and $7.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of (i) 90% of eligible credit card accounts receivable plus (ii) 80% of other eligible accounts receivable plus (iii) the lesser of (x) 70% of eligible inventory (valued at the lower of cost, on a first in first out basis, or market value) or (y) 85% of the appraised net ordinary liquidation value of eligible inventory. The Company must deliver borrowing base certificates and reports at least monthly. The borrowing base also may be subject to certain other adjustments and reserves to be determined by the agent. As of October 29, 2011, there was $70.9 million available to borrow under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility places various restrictions on OSH LLC and Guarantors, including, but not limited to, limitations on their ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, or make distributions, sell assets, or make investments.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility required OSH LLC and the Guarantors to meet specific covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio that is triggered when availability reaches a minimum threshold for three consecutive days. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are also subject to a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1 to 1. At any time the fixed charge coverage ratio falls below 1.1, the Company can only borrow up to 90% of the available borrowing base. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 29, 2011, January 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010.

Senior Secured Term Loan — On December 21, 2006, OSH LLC entered into a $200 million senior secured term loan agreement (the "Senior Secured Term Loan"), which requires quarterly principal paydowns (the "Mandatory Payments") of $0.5 million and has a seven-year term, maturing on December 21, 2013. On January 28, 2011, OSH LLC entered into the first amendment to the Senior Secured Term Loan (the "Senior Secured Term Loan First Amendment"), which resulted in changes to the maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant (the "Leverage Covenant"), applicable interest rates, definition of EBITDA and excess cash flow prepayment percentage rate.

In addition to the Mandatory Payments, the Company is required to make annual repayments on the Senior Secured Term Loan equal to a defined percentage rate (determined based on the Company's leverage ratio) of excess cash flows. In accordance with the Senior Secured Term Loan First Amendment, the defined percentage rate of excess cash flows was increased to 75% from 50%. The Company did not make any prepayments pursuant to this requirement in fiscal 2010 or fiscal 2011 and does not anticipate paying any prepayments under this requirement in fiscal 2012.

The Senior Secured Term Loan places various restrictions on OSH LLC and the Guarantors, including, but not limited to, limitations on their ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, make distributions, sell assets or make investments. The Senior Secured Term Loan requires OSH LLC and the Guarantors to meet specific covenants, including the Leverage Covenant. The Company was in compliance with the Senior Secured Term Loan Leverage Covenants during the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 and all of fiscal 2010.

Real Estate Secured Term Loan — In October 2010, OSH Properties entered into a $50 million real estate secured loan (the "Real Estate Secured Term Loan") with a group of lenders that required quarterly payments of $0.1 million and that matures in December 2013. On February 17, 2011, OSH Properties entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which raised the maximum thresholds, as defined by the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, on the Leverage Covenant for certain periods and amended the definition of EBITDA. On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which, among other things, lowered the minimum principal amount required under the Real Estate Secured Term Loan, which allowed the Company to conduct certain sale and leaseback transactions described in Note 7 below.

The Real Estate Secured Term Loan requires the Company to meet the Leverage Covenant, subject to maximum thresholds established by the Real Estate Secured Term Loan. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the first, second, and third quarters of fiscal 2011 and all of fiscal 2010.

 

Change in Control — The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan each contain an event of default resulting from a change of control, which includes the following: (i) certain mergers, consolidations, sales or transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of OSH LLC and OSH LLC's subsidiaries to persons other than ACOF, ESL Investments, Inc. ("ESL") and Sears Holdings; (ii) adoption of a plan of liquidation of OSH LLC; (iii) prior to an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF ceasing to collectively hold directly or indirectly at least 50% of the total voting power of all shares of the Company and OSH LLC's voting capital stock; (iv) following an initial underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, a person or group, other than Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF, collectively holding directly or indirectly at least 40% of the total voting power of all shares of the Company and OSH LLC's voting capital stock and Sears Holdings, ESL and ACOF collectively holding less than such person or group; and (v) the Company's board of directors not consisting of continuing directors ("Change in Control").

If, following the Distribution, one or both of ESL and ACOF dispose of all or part of their shareholding in the Company such that their combined total voting power drops below 50%, this may trigger a Change in Control event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Secured Term Loan and Real Estate Secured Term Loan. An event of default could trigger certain acceleration clauses and cause those and the Company's other obligations to become immediately due and payable and the Company may not have sufficient cash funds available to repay its debt obligations upon such a Change in Control.

Immediately following the Distribution:

 

   

Sears Holdings will not own any capital stock of the Company;

 

   

ESL will beneficially own approximately 61% of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 49% of the general voting power of its capital stock; and

 

   

ACOF will beneficially own 100% of the Company's outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock and approximately 20% of the general voting power of its capital stock.

Neither ESL nor ACOF have agreed to maintain their shareholding in the Company following the Distribution.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the "Company") is a specialty retailer primarily focused on homeowners with repair, maintenance and improvement needs. Founded as a purchasing cooperative in San Jose in 1931, as of October 29, 2011, the Company operated 89 full-service hardware stores in California.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company and its subsidiaries, Orchard Supply Hardware LLC ("OSH LLC"), OSH Properties LLC ("OSH Properties"), and OSH Finance Corporation. Unless otherwise specified, all references to the "Company" refer to Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation and subsidiaries without audit and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks then ended, and cash flows for the 39 weeks then ended. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2011, presented herein, has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then ended.

Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, which were included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed in June 2011, as amended (the "Registration Statement"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including notes thereto contained in the above mentioned Company's Form S-1.

The results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Spin-off from Sears Holdings — The Company filed the Registration Statement in connection with the planned distribution (the "Distribution") by Sears Holdings Corporation ("Sears Holdings") to its shareholders of all the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Preferred Stock") to be held by Sears Holdings immediately prior to the Distribution. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 12, 2011 and the close of business on December 16, 2011 was set as the record date for the Distribution. The Distribution will be effective as of 11:59 p.m., New York City Time on December 30, 2011, which the Company refers to hereinafter as the "Distribution Date."

On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Sears Holdings, which sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement will also govern certain aspects of the Company's ongoing relationship with Sears Holdings following the Distribution. The Distribution Agreement provides that prior to the Distribution the following actions will occur:

 

   

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will merge with and into the Company, and, through that merger, the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will become effective;

 

   

The Company will cause to become effective its amended and restated bylaws;

 

   

An Affiliate of Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund ("ACOF") will exchange its shares of Class A Common Stock for an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock;

 

   

The Company will file a certificate of designation to create, and will subsequently issue to Sears Roebuck, the Preferred Stock; and

 

   

Sears Roebuck will distribute to Sears Holdings all of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock that Sears Roebuck owns.

All agreements, arrangements, commitments and understandings between the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the one hand, and Sears Holdings and its other subsidiaries and other affiliates, on the other hand, will terminate effective as of the Distribution, except certain agreements and arrangements that the Company and Sears Holdings expressly provide will survive the Distribution.

The Distribution Agreement governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the proposed Distribution. Prior to the spin-off, Sears Holdings will deliver all of the Company's issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to the distribution agent. At the Distribution, the distribution agent will electronically deliver the shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock to entitled Sears Holdings shareholders based on the applicable distribution ratio. Sears Holdings will have the sole and absolute discretion to determine the terms of, and whether to proceed with, the Distribution.

Transition Service Arrangements — The Company does not maintain all of its own legal, tax, and certain other corporate support functions. In connection with a series of recapitalization transactions in November 2005, Sears Holdings and the Company entered into a series of annual shared services agreements (the "Transaction Service Agreement") to provide the Company with certain corporate support services while the Company builds its own stand-alone corporate support functions. The costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The methods by which Sears Holdings allocates its costs are based on a

prorated estimate of costs expected to be incurred by Sears Holdings. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a stand-alone company during all periods presented. The Company has not included an estimate of what these costs would have been on a stand-alone basis because it is not practicable to do so. The Company does not expect the allocated expenses for these functions on a stand-alone basis to be materially different than what is reflected in its historical financial statements.

Effective with the Distribution, the Company entered into a transition service agreement (the "Transition Service Agreement") which superceded the Transaction Service Agreement with Sears Holdings whereby Sears Holdings will continue to provide to the Company the same services provided prior to the Distribution and still needed by the Company and to enable the Company to retain access to various other third-party services until the Company is able to set up its stand-alone corporate functions and/or contract with third-party service providers. The services provided under the Transition Service Agreement will be individually terminable upon 60 days notification by the Company. All services to be provided under the Transition Service Agreement will terminate upon the first anniversary of the effective date of the Transition Services Agreement. The Company does not expect the costs incurred under the Transition Service Agreement to differ materially from the costs incurred under the Transaction Service Agreement.

Stock split — On December 8, 2011, the Company completed a 6-for-1 stock split of its common stock. The stock split increased the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 1.0 million to approximately 6.0 million. All share and per share amounts herein are presented on a post-stock split basis.

Segment Reporting — The Company has one reportable segment. The Company's operations include activities related to its stores that are all located in California.

On April 1, 2011, a judgment for $5.1 million by the California Superior Court was entered against the Company in favor of Save Mart Supermarkets ("Save Mart"). The Company recorded a $5.1 million liability and expense in selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 29, 2011. On August 24, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart (the "Settlement Agreement") to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release the Company of all liabilities, and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The Settlement includes three parts: 1) a $0.5 million cash consideration payable to Save Mart, 2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and the Company, and 3) the lease of a new property to the Company. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the $0.5 million cash consideration and recorded a $1.6 million reduction to this liability, which is classified as a reduction to selling and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Based on the information currently available, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
