Annual Incentive Plan

On June 20, 2012 the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the "Company") approved the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the "Annual Incentive Plan") for all full-time, exempt employees, including executive officers at the senior vice president level and above. The Annual Incentive Plan provides for cash awards (or cash equivalent awards) to be designated to eligible participants with the purpose of increasing stockholder value and the success of the Company by motivating participants to perform to the best of their abilities and to achieve the Company's objectives.

Under the Annual Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority, among other things, to designate the participants, to award grants, to establish performance periods, to set performance goals and to determine the relative weight to be given to each performance goal. The performance goals to be utilized by the Compensation Committee in setting targets for the eligible participants include, but are not limited to, corporate financial measures, corporate strategic objectives and individual performance metrics. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine whether any element of any established performance goal shall be included or excluded when determining whether any performance goal has been achieved and an award earned by a plan participant.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Annual Incentive Plan, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Fiscal 2012 Executive Performance Criteria

On June 20, 2012 the Compensation Committee also established criteria for cash incentive awards that may be paid to our executive officers for fiscal year 2012 under the Annual Incentive Plan (the "2012 Criteria"). The 2012 Criteria establish the performance goals and potential payouts for eligible executives for fiscal year 2012. Under the 2012 Criteria, cash incentive awards will be earned by participants based upon the level of achievement of specified Company financial objectives as follows:

                                                                  Participant Payout

Individual Objectives:                                   Salary         Salary

The Adjusted EBITDA threshold target must be met in order for any payments to occur. For achievement of Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue objectives between the threshold, target and maximum amounts, percentage payout will be based upon a scaled interpolated percentage.


Target payouts established by the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2012 for executive participants are based on the participant's position, as follows:

                                           Target Award as a % of
                                             Base Salary During
                Position                     Performance Period
                CEO                                 100%
                Executive Vice President            75%
                Senior Vice President               50%

The Compensation Committee retains the authority to pay discretionary bonuses so long as no participant's payout is greater than what the participant would have received as the maximum target amount detailed above. In addition, the Compensation Committee retains the authority to pay bonus awards in cash or the Company's Class A Common Stock, or in any combination of both.

Executive Officer Base Salaries

In connection with an annual compensation review, and after review of executive performance, the Company's financial performance, current economic and market conditions, and relevant market peer group compensation data and other information provided by its compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee approved increases to the base salaries of certain of the Company's executive officers. The following table sets forth the new base salaries for the Company's named executive officers and the percentage increase, to be effective August 3, 2012, other than Mr. Newman, whose increase is to be effective October 19, 2012:

Waiver of Term of Mark Baker's Offer Letter

On June 20, 2012, due to changed circumstances which negated the purpose for which the obligation was included, the Compensation Committee decided to waive the obligation of Mr. Baker included in his offer letter with the Company to purchase $500,000 of the Company's Class A Common Stock following the spin-out of the Company from Sears Holdings Corporation. In addition, as a result of the waiver, Mr. Baker will not be granted the option to which he would have been entitled upon completion of the above referenced stock purchase.

Amendment to Director Compensation Policy

On June 21, 2012 and June 25, 2012, the Board of Directors approved changes to the Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation Director Compensation Policy (the "Policy") to: (i) provide that a non-employee Chairman of the Board shall be eligible to receive an additional annual retainer of $25,000; (ii) increase the amount the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be eligible to receive as an additional retainer to $15,000; (iii) increase the amount the Chairman of the Compensation Committee shall be eligible to receive as an additional retainer to $10,000; (iv) increase the


amount the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be eligible to receive as an additional retainer to $6,250; and (v) provide that all members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive compensation under the Policy. All eligible members of the Board of Directors will continue to be eligible to receive the standard annual retainer of $50,000.

Additionally, the Policy was amended to provide that eligible members of the Board of Directors shall have the option, prior to the close of trading on the trading day on which the annual meeting of the stockholders is held, to elect to take a grant of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in lieu of some or all of the base portion of their annual cash retainer. The shares of Class A Common Stock so granted will be issued and vest in the same manner as annual equity grants under the Policy.

Furthermore, the Policy was amended to provide that directors elected by the holders of the Class B Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock, voting as a separate class, would receive cash payments in lieu of an annual equity grant, payable in the same manner as the standard annual retainer.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Policy, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
