2013 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

We are pleased to advise you that the Board of Directors of Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) has as of April 5, 2013 (the “Grant Date”) granted you a restricted stock unit award pursuant to the Office Depot, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this 2013 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) have the meanings given to them in the Plan. This award is subject to federal and local law and the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

You have been granted restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the provisions and restrictions contained in the Plan and this Agreement. The target number of Restricted Stock Units that have been awarded to you hereunder is 325,000 shares (your “Target Share Award”).

2

You shall have no voting, dividend or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to your Restricted Stock Units. Upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 below, you shall obtain full voting and other rights of a stockholder of the Company as to such shares.

Upon the date described in paragraph 2(e) above, the Company will issue to you and register in your name a certificate or certificates for (or evidence in book entry or similar account) a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) equal

to the number of Restricted Stock Units that became vested under paragraph 2 above. Such shares will not be subject to any restrictions under this Agreement, but may be subject to certain restrictions under applicable securities laws.

Your Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner; any such purported sale, pledge, assignment or transfer shall be void and of no effect.

Your Restricted Stock Units are intended to conform in all respects with, and are subject to, all applicable provisions of the Plan which is incorporated herein by reference. Inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. The Committee reserves its right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without your consent; provided, however, that your Restricted Stock Units shall not, without your written consent, be adversely affected thereby (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment or termination is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed or quoted). All interpretations and determinations of the Committee or its delegate shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and your legal representatives with respect to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan or otherwise, including guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan. By acknowledging this Agreement through the Plan website, you agree to be bound by all of the terms of the Plan and acknowledge availability and accessibility of the Plan document, the Plan Prospectus, and either the Company’s latest annual report to shareholders or annual report on Form 10-K on the Plan and/or Company websites. You understand that you may request paper copies of the foregoing documents by contacting the Company’s Director, Executive Compensation & International Compensation and Benefits.

If the Committee determines that the listing, registration or qualification upon any securities exchange or under any law of shares subject to the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of same or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, no shares may be issued unless such listing, registration or qualification is effected free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any listing standards of any exchange or self-regulatory organization on which the Common Stock of the Company is listed, and any applicable

4

federal or state laws; and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. In making such determination, the Committee may rely upon an opinion of counsel for the Company. The Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares under the Plan or make any other distribution of the benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable state, federal, and foreign laws (including, without limitation and if applicable, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and any applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. The Committee shall be permitted to amend this Agreement, on the advice of counsel, to the minimum extent that such amendment is necessary to achieve compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the guidance thereunder.

Your Restricted Stock Units are also subject to your complying with and not breaching the non-compete, confidentiality, and non-solicitation agreement that you were required to sign as a condition of your employment with the Company.

It is intended, and this Agreement shall be construed, so that all compensation payable to you under this Agreement shall be exempt from section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, to the extent that any compensation payable under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code section 409A and the Department of Treasury regulations and other guidance thereunder, (i) any provisions of this Agreement that provide for payment of such compensation that is triggered by your separation from service shall be deemed to provide for payment that is triggered only by your “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section §1.409A-1(h), and (ii) if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section §1.409A-1(i) on the date of your separation from service (with such status determined by the Company in accordance with rules established by the Company in writing in advance of the “specified employee identification date” that relates to the date of such separation from service or in the absence of such rules established by the Company, under the default rules for identifying specified employees under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)), such compensation triggered by your separation from service shall be paid to you six months following the date of such separation from service (provided, however, that if you die after the date of your separation from service, this six month delay shall not apply). You acknowledge and agree that the Company has made no representation regarding the tax treatment of any payment under this Agreement and, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, that you are solely responsible for all taxes due with respect to any payment under this Agreement.

5

Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall serve to modify or amend any employment agreement you may have with the Company or any Subsidiary or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate your employment at any time, or confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary for any period of time or to continue your present or any other rate of compensation subject to the terms of any employment agreement you may have with the Company. The grant of your Restricted Stock Units shall not give you any right to any additional awards under the Plan or any other compensation plan the Company has adopted or may adopt. The agreements contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company.

The Committee may amend this Agreement by a writing that specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, provided that no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material way your rights hereunder without your written consent (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment or termination is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed or quoted). Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of the Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units as a result of any change in applicable law or regulation or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decisions; provided that, any such change shall be applicable only to that portion of your Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to restrictions as provided herein.
