The New Second Lien Term Loans are guaranteed by Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp., Kmart Corporation and the other subsidiaries of Holdings that guarantee the existing loans under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement and are secured by the same assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries that secure the existing Second Lien Term Loans under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement.
