KMART CORPORATION, a corporation organized and in good

hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder shown above ("Payee"), or its
registered assigns, on or before December 15, 2009, as herein provided, the
principal sum shown above and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount

the Registered Holder hereof) at the Corporate Trust Office of XXXXXXXXXX
or its successor, not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee
(the "Trustee") under the Trust Indenture, dated as of May 28, 1993 (herein,
together with all supplements and amendments thereto, the "Indenture"), from
Owner, as issuer, to the Trustee and XXXXXXXXXX, as individual trustee
(the "Individual Trustee," and, together with the Trustee, the "Trustees"), in
lawful money of the United States of America, in the following manner:
(i) One payment of interest only (payable in arrears) in
the amount set forth on the attached Schedule I
(which is hereby made a part hereof) for the first,
unnumbered period on said Schedule, payable June 15,
1993; and
(ii) Thirty-three semi-annual payments of interest
(payable in arrears) and principal, each in the
amount set forth on attached Schedule I for periods

commencing on December 15, 1993 and continuing to and
including December 15, 2009; the final payment shall
also
-2-

include all other amounts, if any, then due and owing
with respect to this Note or pursuant to the terms of
the Indenture.
The payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) are herein called the
"Installment Payments" and the dates upon which such payments are due are
herein called the "Installment Payment Dates".
Any Installment Payment or other payment due and payable on a
day which is not a Business Day shall be payable by Owner on the immediately
succeeding Business Day without additional interest or charge.
Owner agrees, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
to pay interest on any overdue Installment Payment or prepayment of principal
at the Overdue Rate (as such terms are defined in the below-described Trust
Indenture) on a per diem basis.
This Note is one of Owner's Series A Notes, which are issued
in subseries -1 and -2 (together with Owner's Series B Notes, the "Notes"),
which Notes are equally and ratably secured by and entitled to the benefits of
the Indenture, subject to the terms thereof and of the other Loan Documents.
In addition, the subseries -1 Notes are equally and ratably secured by and
entitled to the benefits of the Deed of Trust, Fixture Filing and Security
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Owner and the Individual
Trustee (the "Deed of Trust"), and the subseries -2 Notes are equally and
ratably secured by and entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage, Security
Agreement and Financing Statement, dated as of the date hereof, between Owner
and the Trustees (the "Mortgage"). The Indenture, the Deed of Trust and the
Mortgage contain, inter alia, provisions for the acceleration of maturity of
this Note upon the happening of certain Events of Default as defined therein,
certain events of condemnation or taking of any Property and certain other
events. Additionally, reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the Deed of
Trust and the Mortgage for a description of the Trust Estate Granted by the
Indenture, the nature and extent of the security for the Notes, the rights of
the Registered Holders, the Trustee and Owner in respect of such security and
otherwise and a description of the terms upon which the Notes are authenticated
and delivered. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Indenture.
The principal of this Note is subject to prepayment in whole
or in part at the option of Owner only in the manner, to the extent, and under
the circumstances
-3-

set forth in the Indenture at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount hereof to be prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon
to the date of prepayment, plus any premium, if required pursuant to the terms
of the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in the
Deed of Trust or the Mortgage, the principal hereof, the Make-Whole Payment
hereon, if any, the interest accrued and unpaid hereon, if any, and all other
amounts then due and payable hereon may be declared to be forthwith due and
payable as provided in the Indenture.
By placing its initials immediately following this paragraph,
Owner expressly agrees that in the event of an acceleration of the maturity of
this Note as a result of any event of default, including, without limitation,
any acceleration upon the transfer of any interest in the Trust Estate, a
tender by Owner or by anyone on behalf of Owner of payment of the amount
necessary to satisfy the indebtedness evidenced hereby made at any time prior
to a foreclosure sale, or a sale under the power of sale contained in the Deed
of Trust, shall constitute an evasion of the prepayment terms hereof and shall
be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder. Therefore, with any such
payment, the Owner shall pay to the Registered Holder the Make-Whole Payment.
Owner expressly waives the provisions of any present or future statute or law
which prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing Make-Whole
Payment in connection with any such acceleration, including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Section 2954.10.
