No Solicitation of Employees In partial consideration for the award of these Units, in order to forestall the disclosure or use of Confidential Information, as well as to deter the Grantee’s intentional interference with the contractual relations of the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Grantee’s intentional interference with prospective economic advantage of the Company or any Affiliated Company, and to promote fair competition, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee’s right to receive the Shares upon settlement of the Units is contingent upon the Grantee refraining, during the Period of Restriction and for a period of one (1) year after the Settlement Date, for himself/herself or any third party, directly or indirectly, from soliciting for employment any person employed by the Company, or by any Affiliated Company, during the period of the solicited person’s employment and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of the solicited person’s employment with the Company or any Affiliated Company (collectively “Solicit”). If, during the term of the Period of Restriction or at any time within one (1) year after the Settlement Date, the Grantee breaches his/her obligation not to Solicit, the Grantee’s right to the Shares upon settlement of the Units shall not have been earned and the Units, whether vested or not, will be immediately cancelled, and the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company the Shares issued in settlement of the Units or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of such Shares. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED, BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE UNITS AND A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF THE SHARES OR THE GROSS TAXABLE PROCEEDS OF THE SHARES IF THE GRANTEE SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES PROVISION DURING THE PERIOD OF RESTRICTION OR WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE SETTLEMENT DATE.

For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Company” means Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. and its parent companies, subsidiaries and other affiliates.

Solicitation of Employees I agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that (i) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former employee of the Company for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Company from such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his personal views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(c); in each case, to the extent the Executive does not encourage the former employee to become employed by a company or business that employs the Executive or with which the Executive is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise).
