THE TJX COMPANIES, INC.
FORM OF PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD
GRANTED UNDER STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

[ ]

This certificate evidences an award (the “Award”) of performance share units
(“PSUs”) granted to the grantee named below (“Grantee”) under the Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of The TJX Companies, Inc. (the “Company”). The
Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the provisions of
which, as from time to time amended, are incorporated by reference in this
certificate. Terms defined in the Plan are used in this certificate as so
defined; terms not defined in the Plan shall have the meanings specified herein.

The Award consists of the right to receive, on the terms provided herein and in
the Plan, one share of Stock with respect to each performance share unit forming
part of the Award, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan.

1.
Grantee:                        [ ]

2.
Target Number of PSUs Subject to the Award:    [ ]

3.
Date of Award:                    [ ]

4.
Vesting and Settlement of Award: Except as provided in Section 5, the Award
shall become earned and shall vest, if at all, as to the target number of PSUs
multiplied by the product of the percentage determined under Section 4(a)
(Performance conditions) multiplied by the percentage determined under Section
4(b) (Service conditions):

[ ]

As soon as practicable and in all events within [ ] days following the
applicable Settlement Date, the Company shall transfer to Grantee (or, if
Grantee has died, to Grantee’s Beneficiary) the shares of Stock underlying the
portion of the Award that has become earned and vested hereunder.

5.
Change of Control: Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control occurring while
any portion of the Award is outstanding, the following provisions shall apply:

a)
Upon consummation of the Change of Control, if the Committee does not provide
for Rollover Awards as described in Section 5(b) below, the Award to the extent
outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the Change of Control shall be
deemed earned and vested as though each of the Section 4(a) percentage and the
Section 4(b) percentage was, as of immediately prior to consummation of the
Change of Control, one hundred percent (100%).

b)
The Committee in its discretion may, but shall not be required to, provide in
connection with the Change of Control that, in lieu of the acceleration
described in Section 5(a) above, the Award (including for purposes of this
Section 5(b) any replacement award or any arrangement involving stock, cash or
other property into which the Award may be converted or for which it may be
exchanged in connection with the Change of Control) (the Award or any such
replacement award or other arrangement, the “Rollover Award”) shall be continued
on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the
circumstances to reflect the transaction, subject to the following provisions of
this Section 5(b). With respect to any Rollover Award, in lieu of the treatment
provided in Section 5(a) above, (i) the Section 4(a) percentage shall at all
times from and after the Change of Control be deemed to be one hundred percent
(100%), and (ii) Section 4(b) shall be applied without modification except that
in the event of and upon a qualifying termination of Grantee’s employment
occurring upon or within twenty-four months following the Change of Control, the
Section 4(b) percentage shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of this Section 5(b), “qualifying termination” shall mean either of
the following: (i) an involuntary termination (other than for Cause) by the
Company or a Subsidiary of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries (including any successors thereto or affiliates of such successor)
or (ii) a termination of Grantee’s employment by reason of death or Disability.
If immediately prior to the Change of Control, Grantee is party to an
employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary, or
is eligible to participate in a Company plan, in each case that has been
approved by the Committee and that provides for severance or similar benefits
upon a voluntary termination for “good reason” in connection with a change of
control of the Company, a “qualifying termination” for purposes of this Section
5(b) shall also include a voluntary termination by Grantee for “good reason” (as
defined in the applicable agreement or plan).

As soon as practicable and in all events within [ ] days following the
applicable Settlement Date the Company shall transfer to Grantee (or, if Grantee
has died, to Grantee’s Beneficiary) the shares of Stock underlying the earned
and vested portion of the Award; it being understood that if the Settlement Date
is the Change of Control, the Company shall transfer such shares of Stock
immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control. All references
to the Committee in this Section 5 shall be construed to refer to the Committee
as constituted and acting prior to consummation of the Change of Control. For
the avoidance of doubt, no Committee action permitted by this Section 5 will be
treated as an action requiring Grantee’s consent under Section 10 of the Plan.

6.
Termination of Employment: Subject to the provisions of Section 5, in the event
of the termination of the employment of Grantee with the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any reason prior to the earlier of the Determination Date and
the consummation of a Change of Control:

a)
one hundred percent (100%) of the Award, less the percentage of the Award
described in Section 4(b), shall be immediately and automatically forfeited upon
termination of employment; and

b)
if greater than zero percent (0%), the percentage of the Award described in
Section 4(b) shall (except in the event of termination due to death or
Disability) remain eligible to be earned (and shall be earned, if at all) on the
first to occur of (i) the consummation of the Change of Control, by applying one
hundred percent (100%) as the relevant Section 4(a) percentage or (ii) the
Determination Date, by applying as the relevant Section 4(a) percentage the
percentage (if greater than zero) then certified or otherwise determined by the
Committee, provided that any such portion of the Award that is not earned on the
Determination Date and that has not previously been forfeited shall be
immediately and automatically forfeited on the Determination Date. In the event
of the termination of the employment of Grantee with the Company and its
Subsidiaries by reason of death or Disability occurring prior to the earlier of
the Determination Date and the consummation of a Change of Control, the
percentage of the Award described in Section 4(b) shall be earned as of
immediately prior to such termination by applying one hundred percent (100%) as
the relevant Section 4(a) percentage, provided, that if such termination by
reason of death or Disability occurs after the last day of the Performance
Period, the Award shall remain eligible to be earned as of the Determination
Date by applying as the relevant Section 4(a) percentage the greater of (I) one
hundred percent (100%) and (II) the percentage certified or otherwise determined
by the Committee on the Determination Date.

With respect to any Rollover Award under Section 5(b), in the event of the
termination of the employment of Grantee with the Company and its Subsidiaries
prior to January 29, 2022, the portion of the Rollover Award that is not then
earned and vested (determined after giving effect to any vesting provided in
Section 4(b) or 5(b)) shall be immediately and automatically forfeited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a termination of Grantee’s employment for
Cause (as defined in the Plan) all portions of the Award then outstanding,
whether vested or unvested and whether or not earned, shall immediately and
automatically be forfeited and cancelled in their entirety. For the avoidance of
doubt, in determining Grantee’s entitlements, if any, under this Award, all
determinations related to a termination of Grantee’s employment (including, but
not limited to, the reason therefor) shall be made

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in accordance with Plan terms (including, but not limited to, Section 9 of the
Plan or any successor provision).

“Beneficiary”: the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Grantee in
writing, any such designation to be in such form, and delivered prior to

f)
“Settlement Date”: the date on or following and by reference to which any vested
performance share units subject to an Award are to be settled, if at all, in

For the avoidance of doubt, in determining Grantee’s entitlements, if any, under
this Award, all determinations related to Grantee’s termination of employment
(including, but not limited to, the reason therefor) shall be made in accordance
with Plan terms (including, but not limited to, Section 9 of the Plan or any
successor provision).

9.
Rights as Shareholder: Grantee shall have no voting or other shareholder rights
in respect of any share of Stock subject to the Award except as provided in the
following sentence. Grantee shall have the rights of a shareholder, including
without limitation dividend rights, only as to those shares of Stock, if any,
that are actually delivered under the Award.

10.
Unsecured Obligation; No Transfers: The Award is unfunded and unsecured, and
Grantee’s rights to any shares of Stock or other property (including cash)
hereunder shall be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor of the
Company. The Award may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of, except for disposition at death as provided above, and
will automatically lapse and be forfeited upon any attempt at any such
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition.

11.
Section 409A: The Award and the Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, described
in Section 13 below are intended to constitute arrangements that qualify for
exemption from the requirements of Section 409A and shall be construed
accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company, nor any other
person acting on behalf of the Company, will be liable to Grantee or any other
person by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax (including
any interest and penalties), asserted with respect to the Award or the Dividend
Equivalent Payment by reason of the failure of the Award or the Dividend
Equivalent Payment to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 409A in
form or in operation.

12.
Withholding: As a condition to the grant, vesting and settlement of this Award,
Grantee shall, no later than the date as of which any shares of Stock or other
amounts provided hereunder first become includable in the gross income of
Grantee for U.S. Federal or other income tax purposes or as wages subject to
employment taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee regarding payment of, any national, federal, state, or local taxes of
any kind required by

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company in its discretion
may, but need not, satisfy any withholding obligation by withholding a portion
of the shares of Stock to be delivered to Grantee hereunder up to the maximum
extent permitted under the Plan. Grantee understands that any individual tax,
social contribution, or other liability that may arise in relation to this Award
is solely Grantee’s (and not the Company’s or Subsidiary’s) responsibility and
that such liability may exceed any amounts withheld. Grantee further understands
that Grantee is solely responsible for filing any relevant documentation
(including, without limitation, tax returns or reporting statements) that may be
required in relation to this Award (including, without limitation, any such
documentation related to the holding of shares of Stock or any bank or brokerage
account, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock, or the receipt of any
dividends). Grantee further acknowledges that the Company does not commit to and
is under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of the Award to
reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for taxes or other amounts due or to
achieve any particular tax result. Grantee also understands that varying share
of Stock or Award valuation methods may apply for purposes of tax calculations
and reporting, and the Company assumes no liability in relation thereto.

13.
Dividend Equivalent Payment: Upon the delivery of any shares of Stock in respect
of any vested performance share units subject hereto, Grantee shall be entitled
to a cash payment by the Company in an amount equal to the amount that Grantee
would have received, if any, as a regular cash dividend had Grantee held such
shares of Stock from the Date of Award to the date such shares of Stock are
delivered hereunder, less all applicable taxes and withholding obligations. Any
such payment shall be paid, if at all, without interest on the date such shares
of Stock are delivered hereunder.

14.
No Employment Rights or Other Entitlements: Grantee agrees that any awards under
the Plan, including this Award and these terms and conditions, do not confer
upon Grantee any right to continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary,
nor do they interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary
to terminate the employment of Grantee at any time. Nothing contained in these
terms and conditions shall be deemed to constitute or create a contract of
employment, nor shall these terms and conditions constitute or create the right
to remain associated with or in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for
any particular period of time. Furthermore, this grant is made solely at the
discretion of the Company, and these terms and conditions, the Plan, and any
other Plan documents (i) are not part of Grantee’s employment contract, if any,
and (ii) do not guarantee either Grantee’s right to receive any future grants
under the Plan or the inclusion of the value of any grants in the calculation of
severance payments, if any, upon termination of employment.

15.
Compliance with Law: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Company shall not be obligated to issue any Stock pursuant to this Award, at any
time, if the offering of the Stock covered by this Award, violates or is not in
compliance with any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state
or country. Furthermore, Grantee understands that, to the extent applicable, the
laws of the country in which he/she is working at the time of grant, vesting,
and/or settlement of this Award (including any rules or regulations governing
securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters) may restrict or
prevent settlement of this Award or may subject Grantee to additional procedural
or regulatory requirements he/she is solely responsible for and will have to
independently fulfill in relation to this Award, and that sales of Stock may be
subject to restrictions under United States federal securities laws, and the
laws, rules or regulations of any other relevant federal, state or local
jurisdiction, and under Company policies including insider trading policies and
procedures. Summaries of potentially applicable legal restrictions and
requirements furnished in connection with the Plan, including in the Addendum
and in the Prospectus for the Plan, are not intended to be exhaustive, and
Grantee acknowledges that other rules may apply. The Company reserves the right
to impose other requirements on Awardee’s participation in the Plan, and any
Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is
necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law or facilitate the
administration of the Plan.

16.
Governing Law and Forum: Grantee acknowledges that the Plan is administered in
the United States and the terms and conditions of this certificate shall be
governed by and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its or any other
jurisdiction's conflicts of laws provisions. For purposes of resolving any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from this certificate, the parties
hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts in the United States and agree that any litigation shall be
conducted only in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts or a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

17.
Other: The provisions of this Award are severable, and if any one or more of the
provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or
in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
To the extent applicable, the international and country-specific terms and
conditions in the attached Addendum shall apply to this Award. By signing this
Award in the space indicated below, Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees as
follows: (i) that Grantee has received the Plan text and will become a party to
and be subject to the terms of the Plan; (ii) that Grantee’s abovementioned
participation is voluntary and that Grantee has not been induced to participate
by expectation of employment or continued employment; and (iii) that Grantee has
reviewed the terms and conditions set forth in this certificate, including the
attached Addendum, and that this Award shall be deemed to satisfy fully any
entitlement to receive a grant or grants of any stock options, stock awards or
other equity-based awards that Grantee may have under an employment or similar
agreement, including but not limited to an offer letter or other contract for
employment, a restrictive covenant or similar agreement, or any other agreement
with, or a policy or practice of, the Company or its Subsidiaries.
