Payments to the holders on the REMIC Securities are funded by the lease payments. In May 2006, a subsidiary of
Holdings contributed the rights to use the Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard trademarks in the U.S. and its
possessions and territories to KCD IP, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. KCD IP, LLC has
licensed the use of the trademarks to subsidiaries of Holdings, including Sears and Kmart. Asset-backed securities
with a par value of $1.8 billion (the "KCD Securities") were issued by KCD IP, LLC and subsequently purchased by
Sears Re, the collateral for which includes the trademark rights and royalty income. Payments to the holders on the
KCD Securities are funded by the royalty payments. The issuers of the REMIC Securities and KCD Securities and
the owners of these real estate and trademark assets are bankruptcy remote, special purpose entities that are indirect
wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings. Cash flows received from rental streams and licensing fee streams paid by
Sears, Kmart, other affiliates and third parties, are used for the payment of fees and interest on these securities. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Holdings contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of Sears Re to SRe
Holding Corporation, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. Sears Re thereafter reduced its excess statutory
capital through the distribution of all REMIC Securities held by it to SRe Holding Corporation. Since the inception
of the REMIC and KCD IP, LLC, the REMIC Securities and the KCD Securities have been entirely held by our
wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. At February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, the net book value of the
securitized trademark rights was approximately $1.0 billion. The net book value of the securitized real estate assets
was approximately $0.7 billion at February 1, 2014 and $0.8 billion at February 2, 2013.
