Sara Lee’s Board of Directors has instructed the Secretary to forward communications to the Board, or to individual directors,
as appropriate; however the Board also has instructed the Secretary to review all correspondence received and, at his discretion, not forward correspondence that is unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as business solicitations, advertising, and communications that are frivolous in nature, relate to routine business matters (such as product inquiries, complaints or suggestions), or raise grievances that are personal to the person submitting the communication. Any director, upon request, may review communications that are not forwarded to the directors pursuant to this policy.

Process for Nominating Potential Director Candidates
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of Sara Lee’s Board of Directors is responsible for identifying and evaluating potential director candidates and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for nomination. Sara Lee’s Corporate Governance Guidelines list key qualifications that the Committee considers when it evaluates potential director candidates. Our Corporate Governance Guildlines can be found in the "Governance" section of this Web site, which is available under the "About Sara Lee" tab. The Committee considers potential candidates suggested by stockholders and applies the same standards in considering candidates submitted by stockholders as it does in evaluating candidates submitted by other sources.

All submissions of potential director candidates must be made in writing, delivered to Sara Lee’s Secretary, Peggy Foran, Sara Lee Corporation, 3500 Lacey Road, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, and must comply with the procedures described in Article I, Section 10 of Sara Lee’s Bylaws. For complete details, please refer to the Bylaws, which are available under the "About Sara Lee" tab in the "Governance" section on the "Corporate Bylaws" page.
