exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any other written contractual agreement.

Neither the Company nor its directors or officers nor any person acting on its
behalf shall be liable to anyone for any determination as to the existence or

                               KMART CORPORATION
                       PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN




1.  Purpose

       The Kmart Corporation Performance Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") is
intended to attract and retain officers and other key senior executive
employees of Kmart Corporation (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries
(corporations of which a majority of the stock is owned directly or indirectly
by the Company and other business entities, a majority of which is owned
directly or indirectly by the Company); to increase the proprietary interest in
the Company of such persons by providing further opportunity for ownership of
the Company's common stock (the "Stock"); and to provide incentives to such
persons to contribute to the success of the Company's business.

2.  Administration

       2.1  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation and Incentives
Committee (the "Committee") consisting of not less than two directors of the
Company appointed by its Board of Directors.  No person may be a member of the
Committee if he or she has been, within one year prior to his or her
appointment to the Committee, or at any time during his or her service on the
Committee, granted an award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such grant would cause such person to
fail to be a "disinterested person" under subsection (c)(2) of Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time ("Rule 16b-3"); provided, however, that membership on the
Committee shall not affect or impair any right of a member with respect to any
award granted to him or her when he or she was not a member of the Committee.

       2.2  The Committee may make such rules and regulations and establish
such procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate.
The interpretation and application of the Plan or of any term or condition of a
grant under the Plan or of any rule, regulation or procedure, and any other
matter relating to or necessary to the administration of the Plan, shall be
determined by the Committee, and any such determinations shall be final and
binding on all persons.

3.  Awards

       3.1  The Committee may grant awards under the Plan ("Awards") to
officers and other key senior executive employees of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, including directors who are full time employees.  Awards shall
consist of shares of Stock which are restricted as provided herein ("Restricted
Stock") or an agreement to issue Stock or Restricted Stock upon the
satisfaction of such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the
Committee, or a combination thereof, and shall be evidenced by a written
agreement ("Agreement").


<PAGE>   2


       3.2  The Committee shall have the sole discretion, in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan, to determine (i) the time or times when Awards are
granted, (ii) to whom an Award is granted (a "Participant"), (iii) the number
of shares of Stock or Restricted Stock which may be issued to a Participant,
(iv) the period and terms and conditions of each Award and of the restrictions
applicable thereto, and (v) the form and provisions of each Agreement, which in
each case need not be the same as to each Participant or Award.  In making such
determinations, the Committee shall consider the position and responsibilities
of the employee, the nature and value to the Company of his or her services,
his or her present and potential contribution to the success of the Company,
and such other factors as the Committee may deem relevant.

       3.3  Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to and governed by
the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement evidencing the Award, and by such
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as shall be determined by
the Committee.

       3.4  A person to whom an Award is granted shall not have any rights with
respect to such Award unless and until he or she shall have executed the
Agreement evidencing the Award.  If an Award or any term or condition of an
Award is rejected or not accepted in a timely manner, such Award shall be
deemed to have not been granted and shall be of no effect.

4.     Shares of Stock

       Shares of Stock which may be subject to Awards or issued under the Plan
may be either authorized and unissued shares or issued shares which have been
reacquired by the Company, provided that the total amount of Stock which may be
subject to Awards or issued under the Plan shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares.
Such number of shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7
hereof.  In the event that any Award or portion thereof is forfeited, or any
shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited and reacquired by the Company, the
shares forfeited or allocable to such forfeiture shall again become available
for use under the Plan to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3.

5.     Rights of Participant

       5.1  A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to
shares of Stock or Restricted Stock under the Plan until the issuance of a
certificate evidencing such shares or the Participant's Restricted Stock
Account has been credited with such shares.

       5.2  Upon the issuance of shares of Restricted Stock, either (i) a stock
certificate or certificates representing such shares shall be registered in the
Participant's name, shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the
restrictions applicable thereto, and shall be





                                       2
<PAGE>   3

held in custody by the Company or its designee for the account of the
Participant, or (ii) the Company's stock transfer agent or other designee shall
credit such shares to the Participant's Restricted Stock account, which shares
shall be subject to the restrictions applicable thereto under the Plan.

       5.3  Except as provided in the Plan or in the Agreement evidencing the
Award, a Participant to whom Restricted Stock is issued shall generally have
the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Stock,
including the right to vote such shares.

       5.4  At the discretion of the Committee, dividends with respect to
Restricted Stock may be either paid to the Participant or withheld by the
Company for the Participant's account, and interest may be paid on any
dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the
Committee.

       5.5  No Award or shares of Restricted Stock or the right to vote or
receive dividends on such shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of, or subject to any debts or liabilities of
a Participant.

       5.6  Unless and until the restrictions and other terms and conditions
applicable to an Award or shares of Restricted Stock expire or are terminated
or otherwise satisfied, such Award or shares of Restricted Stock and any
dividends applicable thereto which were withheld by the Company (and any
interest thereon) shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company if the
Participant's employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
terminates.  Employment with a Subsidiary shall be deemed terminated on the
date a former Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company.

       5.7  If and to the extent that the restrictions and other terms and
conditions applicable to an Award or shares of Restricted Stock do not expire
or are not terminated or otherwise satisfied, such Award or such shares of
Restricted Stock and any dividends applicable thereto which were withheld by
the Company (and any interest thereon) shall be forfeited and reacquired by the
Company, and all rights of the Participant shall terminate to the extent of the
forfeiture without further obligation on the part of the Company.

       5.8  The Committee may in its discretion terminate, shorten or
accelerate any period of restrictions or waive any terms or conditions
applicable to all or any portion of an Award or shares of Restricted Stock,
including without limitation in the event of the Participant's death,
disability or retirement.

       5.9  Upon the expiration or termination of the restrictions and the
satisfaction of any other terms and conditions applicable to an Award and any
shares of Restricted Stock issued thereunder, a stock certificate or
certificates representing shares of Stock free of the restrictions and any
legend, except as may be imposed by law, shall be issued to the Participant or
to the Participant's beneficiary, estate or legal representative, as the case
may be, along with any





                                       3
<PAGE>   4

dividends applicable thereto which have been withheld by the Company (and any
interest thereon).  No payment will be required from the Participant for such
shares (other than the rendering of services to the Company or a Subsidiary as
provided in the Agreement), except as to any applicable taxes which are
required to be withheld.

       5.10  The Company may defer delivery of Stock until satisfactory
arrangements have been made for the payment of any tax attributable to delivery
of Stock hereunder.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a
Participant to elect, in such form and at such time as the Committee may
prescribe, to pay all or a portion of all taxes arising in connection with the
delivery of Stock by electing to (i) have the Company withhold whole shares of
Stock, or (ii) deliver other whole shares of Stock previously owned by the
Participant having a fair market value not greater than the amount to be
withheld; provided, however, that the amount to be withheld shall not exceed
the Participant's estimated total Federal, State and local tax obligations
associated with the transaction.

6.     Employment

       Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any
provision of the Plan, nor any term or condition of any Award or Agreement, nor
any action taken by the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to
the Plan, shall give or be construed as giving a Participant or any other
employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or of any
Subsidiary, or affect or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to terminate the employment of a Participant or any other employee.

7.     Capital Adjustments

       In the event of an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares
of Stock as a result of reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, offering of rights, or
any other change in the structure of shares of Stock, the Committee may make
such adjustment in the number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the
Plan or which are subject to Awards as it deems appropriate.

8.     Term of Plan

       8.1  The Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company on March 22, 1988, shall become effective as of May 24, 1988 upon
approval by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, if prior
approval is required by any governmental agency, the Plan shall not become
effective until such approval is obtained.

       8.2  No Award shall be granted under the Plan after March 21, 1998.
Awards granted prior thereto, however, may extend beyond such





                                       4
<PAGE>   5


period and the provisions of the Plan shall continue to apply thereto.

9.     Amendments

       9.1  The Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time alter,
amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment
which requires stockholder approval in order for the exemptions available under
Rule 16b-3 to be applicable to the Plan shall be effective unless the same
shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon.
Any such amendment may be effective in respect of all past and future Awards
granted hereunder in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company.

       9.2  The Plan and each Award under the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental and stockholder approvals,
and the Committee may make such amendment or modification thereto as it shall
deem necessary to comply with any such laws, rules and regulations or to obtain
any such approvals.

10.    Severability

       If any provision of the Plan, or any term or condition of any Award or
Agreement or form executed or to be executed thereunder, or any application
thereof to any person or circumstances is invalid, such provision, term,
condition or application shall to that extent be void (or, in the discretion of
the Committee, such provision, term or condition may be amended to avoid such
invalidity), and shall not affect other provisions, terms or conditions or
applications thereof, and to this extent such provisions, terms and conditions
are severable.

Dear:

This letter will confirm our understanding concerning your employment with
Kmart Corporation (the "Company").

1.  If your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than
for Cause or Disability or if you terminate your employment with the Company
for Good Reason, the Company will pay to you:

         (a)   Your base salary through the month during which termination
               occurred, plus any other amount due you at the time of
               termination under any bonus plan of the Company; and

         (b)   Monthly severance payments equal to (i) your monthly base salary
               at the time of termination, plus (ii) 1/12th of the "on plan"
               bonus amount targeted for you for the fiscal year in which
               termination occurred.

Such monthly severance payments shall commence in the month following
termination (to be paid on or about the 15th day of the month) and shall
continue for twelve months.  Provided, however, that you agree to make
reasonable efforts to seek (and to immediately notify the Company of) other
employment, and to the extent you receive compensation from other employment,
the severance payments provided herein shall be correspondingly reduced.

No payments shall be due if your employment with the Company is terminated
because of your retirement or death or is terminated by the Company for Cause
or Disability or by you other than for Good Reason (except for any benefits
which may be due you in normal course under any employee benefit plan of the
Company which provides benefits after termination of employment).

All payments hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding and
deductions.

2.  Termination by the Company for "Cause" means termination based on (i)
conduct which is a material violation of Company policy or which is fraudulent
or unlawful or which materially interferes with your ability to perform your
duties, (ii) misconduct which damages or injures the Company or substantially
damages the Company's reputation, or (iii) gross negligence in the performance
of, or wilful failure to perform, your duties and responsibilities.

3.  Termination by the Company for "Disability" means termination based on
inability to perform your duties and responsibilities by reason of illness or
incapacity for a total of 180 days in any twelve-month period.


<PAGE>   2
                                      -2-



4.  Termination by you for "Good Reason" means termination based on the
occurrence without your express consent of any of the following: (i) a
significant diminuition by the Company of your role with the Company or a
significant detrimental change in the nature and/or scope of your status with
the Company, other than for Cause or Disability or (ii) a reduction in your
base salary, other than for Cause or Disability and other than as part of an
across-the-board salary reduction generally imposed on executives of the
Company.

5.  The severance payments hereunder may not be transferred, assigned or
encumbered in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily.  In the event of
your death, any payments then or thereafter due hereunder will be made to your
estate.

6.  The payments provided hereunder shall constitute the exclusive payments due
you from, and the exclusive obligation of, the Company in the event of any
termination of your employment, except for any benefits which may be due you in
normal course under any employee benefit plan of the Company which provides
benefits after termination of employment and except as provided in paragraph 10
hereof.

The obligation to make the payments hereunder is conditioned upon your
execution and delivery to the Company of a release, in form satisfactory to the
Company, of any claims you may have as a result of your employment or
termination of employment under any federal, state or local law, excluding any
claim for benefits which may be due you in normal course under any employee
benefit plan of the Company which provides benefits after termination of
employment.  The obligation to make the payments hereunder is further
conditioned upon the terms set forth in paragraph 7 hereof.

7.  You agree that any right to receive severance payments hereunder will cease
if during the one-year period following your termination of employment you
directly or indirectly become an employee, director, advisor of, or otherwise
affiliated with, any other entity or enterprise whose business is in
competition with the business of the Company.

8.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, your employment with the
Company is terminable at will with or without cause; provided, however, that a
termination of your employment shall be governed in accordance with the terms
hereof except as provided in paragraph 10.

9.  If a dispute arises concerning any provisions of this agreement, it shall
be resolved by arbitration in Troy, Michigan in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association.  Judgment on the award rendered may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction and enforced accordingly.

10.  This agreement sets forth the entire understanding with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral or
express or implied, between you and the Company as to such subject matter.
Provided, however, that this agreement shall not supersede

<PAGE>   3
                                      -3-



the agreement dated ************* between you and the Company concerning
severance benefits which may be payable in the event of a change in control of
the Company ("Change in Control Agreement").  Such Change in Control Agreement
shall, during its term, govern in the event of a termination of your employment
following a change in control of the Company (as defined therein).  In no event
are you to receive severance benefits under both this agreement and the Change
in Control Agreement in the event of a termination of employment.  This
agreement may not be amended, nor may any provision hereof be modified or
waived, except by an instrument in writing duly signed by you and the Company.

11.  If any provision of this agreement, or any application thereof to any
circumstances, is invalid, in whole or in part, such provision or application
shall to that extent be severable and shall not affect other provisions or
applications of this agreement.

Please indicate your agreement by signing below and retain one copy for your
records.




                                                  Sincerely,
                                                  KMART CORPORATION
