 Exhibit 10.6 

2014 PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT 
 We are pleased to
advise you that the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a performance share award pursuant to either the Office Depot, Inc. 2007 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “ODP Plan”) or the 2003 OfficeMax Incentive and Performance Plan (the “OMX Plan”). The grant date for your 2014 performance share grant (the “Grant Date”) and the plan under which this grant was made
to you (the “Plan”) are displayed under the Performance Plan link of the Plan website. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this 2014 Performance Share 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. 
  

	1.	Performance Shares 

 You have been granted the right to earn shares of the common stock
of the Company (“Common Stock”) based upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions pursuant to the provisions and restrictions contained in the Plan and this Agreement (the “Performance Shares”). The target number of
Performance Shares that have been awarded to you are displayed for the 2014 performance share grant under the Performance Plan link of the Plan website (your “Target Award”). 

 

	2.	Vesting  

  

	 	a.	Performance Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Sections 2(b), (c) and (d) below, you will be eligible to earn up to 150% of your Target Award based on the
Company’s cumulative free cash flow as determined by the Committee pursuant to paragraph (i) below “(Free Cash Flow”) and cumulative operating income as determined by the Committee pursuant to paragraph (ii) below
(“Operating Income”) for the period beginning on December 29, 2013, and ending on December 31, 2016 (the “Performance Period”). If the Committee determines that the Company does not achieve Free Cash Flow equal to at
least the threshold amount approved by the Committee for the Performance Period or does not achieve Operating Income equal to at least the threshold amount approved by the Committee for the Performance Period, you will immediately forfeit all rights
to the Performance Shares. If the Committee determines that the Company has achieved at least the threshold amounts of Free Cash Flow and Operating Income for the Performance Period, you will be eligible to earn a number of Performance Shares
relative to the number of Performance Shares specified in the Target Award determined pursuant to the following table, up to a maximum of 150% of the number of Performance Shares specified in the Target Award:

	  	 	50	% 
	 Less than 90%
	  	 	0	% 

 Straight-line interpolation shall be applied to determine the number of Performance Shares earned for a
percentile that falls between the percentiles specified in the table above. The Committee will determine the number of Performance Shares, if any, that you are eligible to earn on the foregoing basis as soon as administratively practicable following
December 31, 2016 (your “Eligible Award”). In all cases, the number of Performance Shares, if any, in your Eligible Award will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as necessary). Upon the Committee’s
determination of your Eligible Award, you will immediately forfeit all Performance Shares other than your Eligible Award. To become vested in all or a portion of your Eligible Award, you must satisfy the employment requirements of Section 2(b)
below. 
  

	 	i.	Free Cash Flow. The Committee will calculate the Company’s Free Cash Flow by subtracting Capital Expenditures from Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities, as reported in the Company’s
Audited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Company’s 2014 through 2016 fiscal years, and as adjusted by eliminating the impact of the settlement of individual legal matters in excess of $15 million. 

 

	 	ii.	Operating Income. The Committee will calculate the Company’s Operating Income as the Company’s three-year cumulative Adjusted Operating Income (Non-GAAP) for the Company’s fiscal years 2014 through
2016, as adjusted, both positively and negatively, for the following items as approved by the Compensation Committee: impacts of unplanned acquisitions and divestitures; impairment charges related to goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived
assets (non-cash); unplanned costs and benefits related to real estate strategy including, but not limited to, lease terminations or facility closure obligations; and unplanned legal expenses related to attorneys’ fees, settlements, and
judgments; and any additional unplanned and extraordinary events (as determined by the Committee) for which the Committee determines adjustments should be made. All calculations related to foreign exchange rates will be calculated based on the
foreign exchange rate used in the Company’s 2014 through 2016 annual operating plans, as applicable. 

  
 2 

	 	b.	Employment Requirements. 

  

	 	i.	Continuous Employment. Except as provided in Sections 2(b)(ii) and 2(c) below, (A) you will vest in your Eligible Award on the later of the date on which the Committee determines your Eligible Award or the
third anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that you remain continuously employed with the Company or any Subsidiary during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Service
Period”), and (B) you will immediately forfeit all of your Performance Shares upon your termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date. 

 

	 	ii.	Death or Disability. 

  

	 	A.	If you terminate employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries due to death or Disability prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the date on which the Committee has determined your Eligible
Award, you will vest in a pro rata portion of your Target Award on the date of such termination of employment and you will forfeit the remainder of your Performance Shares on such date. The portion of your Target Award that will vest under the
immediately prior sentence shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Shares in your Target Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which you were employed by the Company and
its Subsidiaries during the Service Period and the denominator of which is 1095, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as necessary). 

  

	 	B.	If you terminate employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries due to death or Disability prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date but on or after the date on which the Committee has determined your Eligible
Award, you will vest in a pro rata portion of your Eligible Award (if any) on the date of such termination of employment and you will forfeit the remainder of your Eligible Award on such date. The portion of your Eligible Award that will vest under
the immediately prior sentence shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Shares in your Eligible Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which you were employed by the Company
and its Subsidiaries during the Service Period and the denominator of which is 1095, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as necessary). 

  
 3 

	 	C.	For this purpose, you will be considered “Disabled” if you have been determined to be eligible to commence benefits under the Company’s long-term disability program; the effective date of your Disabled
status will be the later of the date on which such determination is made or the date as of which you are determined to be eligible to commence such benefits. Your Disabled status must become effective under the preceding sentence prior to the date
on which payment of vested Performance Shares due to your termination of employment would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 4 below in order to be recognized under this Agreement. This definition of Disability applies in lieu of the
definition set out in the Plan. 

  

	 	iii.	Change in Control. 

  

	 	A.	 In the event of a Change in Control prior to the date on which the Committee has determined your Eligible Award, performance shall be deemed to be
achieved at target. The Committee will determine the number of Performance Shares, if any, that you are eligible to earn on the foregoing basis on or within 60 days following the effective date of the Change in Control (your “CIC Award”).
In all cases, the number of Performance Shares, if any, in your CIC Award will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as necessary). Upon the Committee’s determination of your CIC Award, you will immediately forfeit
all Performance Shares other than your CIC Award. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, (A) you will vest in your CIC Award if you remain continuously employed with the Company or any Subsidiary until the third anniversary
of the Grant Date, and (B) you will immediately forfeit your CIC Award upon your termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event of your involuntary termination of
employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause or your termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for Good Reason, in either case within 24 months after the effective date of a Change in Control, you will vest in
a pro rata portion of your CIC Award on the date of such termination of employment and you will forfeit the remainder of your CIC Award on such date. The portion of your CIC Award that will vest under the immediately prior sentence shall be
determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Shares in your CIC Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which you were employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Service
Period and the denominator of which is 1095, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as 

  
 4 

	 	
necessary). However, in any case, and notwithstanding the first sentence of this subsection (c)), if the CIC Award is not assumed, substituted or otherwise continued on an equivalent basis by the
surviving entity in the Change in Control, the CIC Award shall become fully vested on the effective date of the Change in Control. 

  

	 	B.	In the event of a Change in Control on or after the date on which the Committee has determined your Eligible Award, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, (A) you will vest in your Eligible Award
if you remain continuously employed with the Company or any Subsidiary until the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and (B) you will immediately forfeit your Eligible Award upon your termination of employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event of your involuntary termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause or your termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for
Good Reason, in either case within 24 months after the effective date of a Change in Control and prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, you will vest in a pro rata portion of your Eligible Award on the date of such termination of
employment and you will forfeit the remainder of your Eligible Award on such date. The portion of your Eligible Award that will vest under the immediately prior sentence shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Shares in
your Eligible Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which you were employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Service Period and the denominator of which is 1095, rounded up to the
nearest whole number of Performance Shares (as necessary). However, in any case, and notwithstanding the first sentence of this subsection (c)), if the Eligible Award is not assumed, substituted or otherwise continued on an equivalent basis by the
surviving entity in the Change in Control, the Eligible Award shall become fully vested on the effective date of the Change in Control. 

  

	 	c.	No Other Special Vesting Rights. No accelerated vesting of your Performance Shares will apply upon your termination of employment for any reason related to the merger of the Company and OfficeMax Incorporated. If
your Performance Shares were granted under the ODP Plan, the provisions of the ODP Plan with respect to accelerated vesting in the event of retirement and change in control (e.g., Sections 10.5 and 10.8 of the ODP Plan) do not apply to your
Performance Shares. If your Performance Shares were granted under the OMX Plan, the provisions of the OMX Plan with respect to accelerated vesting upon change in control (e.g., Section 24.1 of the OMX Plan) do not apply to your Performance
Shares. If you forfeit Performance Shares at any time, you will cease to have any rights with respect to such forfeited Performance Shares. 

  
 5 

	 	d.	Definitions. 

  

	 	i.	Cause. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean: 

  

	 	A.	your willful failure to perform your material duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); 

 

	 	B.	your willful failure to comply with any valid and legal directive of the Board; 

  

	 	C.	your engagement in dishonesty, illegal conduct or misconduct, which is, in each case, materially injurious to the Company or its affiliates; 

 

	 	D.	your embezzlement, misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to your employment with the Company or its affiliate; 

  

	 	E.	your conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent) or a crime that constitutes a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; 

 

	 	F.	your willful violation of a material policy of the Company or its affiliate with whom you are employed; 

  

	 	G.	your willful unauthorized disclosure of confidential information (within the meaning of the confidentiality covenant that you were required to sign as a condition of your employment with the Company or its affiliate);
or 

  

	 	H.	your material breach of any material obligation under any written agreement between you and Company or its affiliate. 

If you are an Executive Vice President or the Controller of the Company, the determination as to whether “Cause” has occurred shall
be made by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board, finding that you are guilty of the conduct described in any of (A)—(H) above, after having afforded you a reasonable opportunity to appear (with counsel) before the
Board; otherwise such termination shall be made by the officer of the Company or its affiliate to whom you directly report in the performance of your duties, after having afforded you a reasonable opportunity to appear (with counsel) before such
officer. Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, you shall have thirty (30) business days from the delivery of written notice by Company within which to cure any acts constituting
Cause; provided, however, that if Company reasonably expects irreparable injury from a 

  
 6 

 
delay of thirty (30) business days, Company may give you notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances, which may include the termination of
your employment without notice and with immediate effect. No act or failure by you shall be considered “willful” if such act is done by you in the good faith belief that such act is or was in the best interests of Company or one or more of
its businesses. 
  

	 	ii.	Good Reason. As used herein, the term “Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s change in control plan in which you participate, if any, or the change in control agreement
between you and the Company, if any; if there is no such plan or agreement that contains a definition of Good Reason that applies to you, then the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Good Reason do not apply to you. 

 

	 	iii.	Change in Control. As used herein, the term “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the ODP Plan. 

  

	3.	Rights as Stockholder 

 You shall have no voting, dividend or any other rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to your Performance Shares. Upon the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 4 below, you shall obtain full voting and other rights of a
stockholder of the Company as to such shares. 
  

	4.	Payment 

 On each of the following dates, the vested portion of your Performance Shares
(if any) shall be paid to you: 
  

	 	a.	During the period beginning April 13, 2017 and ending May 15, 2017; 

  

	 	b.	Within 30 days following the date of your termination of employment (subject to delay pursuant to Section 10(b)); and 

  

	 	c.	Within 30 days following the effective date of a Change in Control. 

 The Company will make
payment by issuing to you and registering in your name a certificate or certificates for (or evidencing in book entry or similar account) a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the vested portion of your Performance Shares. Such shares will
not be subject to any restrictions under this Agreement, but may be subject to certain restrictions under applicable securities laws. 

  
 7 

	5.	Withholding 

 You are required to pay to the Company all applicable federal, state, local
or other taxes, domestic or foreign, with respect to your Performance Shares (the “Required Tax Payments”). Unless you make other arrangements with the consent of the Company, all Required Tax Payments will be satisfied by the Company
withholding Shares otherwise to be delivered to you, having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined, sufficient to make the Required Tax Payments. The Company will withhold the whole number of Shares sufficient to make the
Required Tax Payments and will make a cash payment to you for the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares withheld and the Required Tax Payments on the payment date specified in Section 4 above (but if this would cause adverse
accounting then the Company will withhold one less Share and you must pay in cash the additional withholding). 
  

	6.	Transferability of Performance Shares 

 Your Performance Shares 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. 
  

	7.	Conformity with Plan 

 Your Performance Shares 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 Performance Shares 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. 
  

	8.	Restrictions on Shares 

 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 Performance Shares 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

  
 8 

 
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 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 in its discretion to the extent the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or desirable to achieve
compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the guidance thereunder. 
  

	9.	Non-Compete, Confidentiality, and Non-Solicitation Requirements 

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

 

	10.	Compliance with Section 409A 

  

	 	a.	This Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or an applicable exemption from Code Section 409A.

  

	 	b.	 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 compensation that is subject to Section 409A and that has payment triggered by your termination of
employment other than on account of your death 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) (a “Section 409A
Separation from Service”), (ii) if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section §1.409A-1(i) on the date of your Section 409A 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 Section 409A 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 such Section 409A Separation from Service shall be paid to you six
months following the date of such Section 409A Separation from Service (provided, however, that if 

  
 9 

	 	
you die after the date of such Section 409A Separation from Service, this six month delay shall not apply from and after the date of your death), and (iii) to the extent necessary to
comply with Code Section 409A, the definition of change in control that applies under Code Section 409A shall apply under this Agreement to the extent that it is more restrictive than the definition of Change in Control that would
otherwise 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. 

  

	11.	Employment and Successors 

 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 Performance Shares
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. 
  

	12.	Amendment 

 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 Performance Shares or this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant of the Performance
Shares 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 Performance Shares that are then subject
to restrictions as provided herein.

 Exhibit 10.7 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE 

OFFICE DEPOT, INC. 
 2007
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 WHEREAS, Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) established the Office Depot, Inc. 2007
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company and its subsidiaries by: (i) providing certain Directors, officers, and key employees of, and certain other key individuals who
perform services for, the Company and its subsidiaries with incentives to maximize stockholder value and otherwise contribute to the success of the Company; and (ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain, and reward the best available persons
for positions of substantial responsibility; 
 WHEREAS, under Section 14.1 of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) has the authority to amend the Plan at any time; provided that, no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any awards previously granted under
the Plan, unless such action is required by applicable law, any applicable listing standards, or the participants consent in writing; and 

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee desires to amend the Plan with respect to awards granted under the Plan on or after March 20,
2014, to provide that restricted stock units granted to directors shall be immediately vested upon grant. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan
is amended as follows with respect to awards granted on or after March 20, 2014: 
  

	1)	Section 10.8 is amended to read as follow: 

 “10.8 Special Vesting Rules for
Directors.  
 (a) Awards Other Than Options, Restricted Stock and RSUs. With respect to a Director of
the Company whose period of service ends, either voluntarily or by reason of his or her not seeking re-election to the Board or not being re-nominated to the Board or his or her not being re-elected to the Board, (i) any issued but unvested
SARs granted to such Director during his or her term of office shall, upon such termination of service, become immediately vested, and (ii) any Performance Awards held by the Director that contain performance conditions as a requirement for
vesting shall vest pro rata (calculated as if any “target” amount under such Performance Awards has been reached) based on the amount of time from the beginning of the performance cycle through the date of the Director’s termination
of service compared to the total length of the performance cycle. 
 (b) Awards of Options, Restricted Stock and
RSUs. With respect to a Director of the Company, all Options, Restricted Stock and RSUs granted to such Director during his or her term of office shall be immediately vested upon grant. 

 
Nothing in this Section 10.8 shall serve to extend the term of any Option beyond its initial term upon issuance.”
