 2 of 5

 OFFICEMAX INCORPORATED 

2013 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement – Time Based 

 

	 	
the person or persons to whom the rights to payment of such Restricted Stock Units shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, as determined by OfficeMax in its sole and complete
discretion. 

  

	5.	Share Payment. Vested Restricted Stock Units relating to your RSU Award will be paid to you in whole shares of Stock. Partial shares, if any, will be paid in
cash. 

  

	6.	Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control prior to February 19, 2016, the continuing entity may either continue this Award or replace
this Award with an award of at least equal value with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the continuing entity does not so continue or replace this Award, or if you experience a “qualifying termination,” or you are deemed to have a
“qualifying termination” as of the Change in Control pursuant to Section 24.2 of the Plan, then all restrictions described in this Agreement will lapse with respect to all unvested Restricted Stock Units relating to your RSU Award at
the time of the Change in Control or your qualifying termination (as applicable), all such Restricted Stock Units will vest immediately, and payment of your RSU Award (or any unpaid portion thereof) shall be made within 2-1/2 months after the Change
in Control or “qualifying termination” (as applicable) occurred. “Qualifying termination” shall be defined as set forth in the Plan. 

  

	7.	Code Section 162(m); Mandatory Deferral of Payment. Although OfficeMax does not reasonably anticipate, as of the Award Date, the application of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), at the time of any payment due hereunder, if OfficeMax reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to any such payment otherwise would not be
permitted by application of Code Section 162(m) at the time of the payment, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, such payment shall be deferred and instead shall be made as soon as reasonably
practicable following the first date on which OfficeMax anticipates (or reasonably should have anticipated) that such payment would no longer be restricted due to the application of Code Section 162(m). 

 

	8.	Nontransferability. The Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement cannot be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, transferred, or otherwise
encumbered prior to vesting. Any attempt to transfer your rights in the awarded Restricted Stock Units prior to vesting will result in the immediate forfeiture and cancellation of such units. Subject to the approval of OfficeMax in its sole and
complete discretion, Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement may be transferable to members of your immediate family and to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, partnerships in which such family members are
the only partners, or corporations in which such family members are the only stockholders. 

  

	9.	Stockholder Rights. You will not receive dividends or dividend units on the Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to the
Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder, you are not a shareholder and do not have any voting rights until such units vest and shares are recorded as issued on OfficeMax’s official stockholder records. 

 

	10.	Tax Withholding. The amount of shares of Stock to be paid to you will be reduced by that number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the
required minimum federal and state withholding amounts triggered by the vesting of your Restricted Stock Units. To the extent a fractional share of Stock is needed to satisfy such tax withholding, the number of shares of Stock withheld will be
rounded up to the next whole number. Alternatively, you may elect within 60 calendar days from the Award Date to satisfy such withholding requirements in cash. 

 

	11.	 Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. To the maximum extent allowable under applicable state law, for the period beginning on the Award Date and
ending one year following your termination of employment with OfficeMax, you will not (i) directly or indirectly employ, recruit or solicit for

employment any person who is (or was within six (6) months prior to your employment termination date) an employee of OfficeMax, an Affiliate or Subsidiary; or (ii) commence Employment
with a Competitor in a substantially similar capacity to any position you held with OfficeMax during the last 12 months of your employment with OfficeMax and having the responsibility with the same geographic area(s) for which you had responsibility
during the last 12 months of your employment with OfficeMax. If you violate the terms of this paragraph 11 at any time, you will forfeit, as of the first day of any such violation, all right, title and interest to the Restricted Stock Units and any
shares of Stock you own in settlement of your Restricted Stock Units on or after such date. OfficeMax shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate instructions to its transfer agent with respect to these restricted stock
units, and OfficeMax further will be entitled to reimbursement of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of OfficeMax in enforcing its rights under this paragraph 11. By accepting this Award, you consent to a
deduction from any amounts OfficeMax, an Affiliate or Subsidiary owes to you (including wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as other amounts owed to you), to the extent of any amounts that you owe to OfficeMax
under this paragraph 11. If OfficeMax does not recover by means of set-off the full amount owed to OfficeMax, you agree to pay immediately the unpaid balance to OfficeMax. 

 

	 	a.	“Competitor” means any business, foreign or domestic, which is engaged, at any time relevant to the provisions of this Agreement, in the sale or distribution
of products, or in the provision of services in competition with the products sold or distributed or services provided by OfficeMax, an Affiliate, Subsidiary, partnership, or joint venture of OfficeMax. The determination of whether a business is a
Competitor shall be made by OfficeMax’s General Counsel, in his or her sole and complete discretion. 

  

	 	b.	“Employment with a Competitor” means providing significant services as an employee or consultant, or otherwise rendering services of a significant nature for
remuneration, to a Competitor, as determined by OfficeMax’s General Counsel, in his or her sole and complete discretion. 

  

	12.	Use of Personal Data. By executing this Agreement, you hereby agree freely, and with your full knowledge and consent, to the collection, use, processing and
transfer (collectively, the “Use”) of certain personal data such as your name, salary, nationality, job title, position evaluation rating along with details of all past awards and current awards outstanding under the Plan (collectively,
the “Data”), for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan. You further acknowledge and agree that OfficeMax and/or any of its Affiliates may make Use of the Data amongst themselves and/or any other third parties assisting
OfficeMax in the administration and management of the Plan (collectively, the “Data Recipients”). In keeping therewith, you hereby further authorize any Data Recipient, including Data Recipients located in foreign jurisdictions, to
continue to make Use of the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of administering and managing the Plan, including without limitation, any necessary Use of such Data as may be required for the subsequent holding of shares on your
behalf by a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares acquired through the Plan. 

OfficeMax shall, at all times, take all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate safety measures shall be in place to
ensure the confidentiality of the Data, and that no Use will be made of the Data for any purpose other than the administration and management of the Plan. You may, at any time, review your Data and request necessary amendments to such Data. You may
withdraw your consent to Use of the Data herein by notifying OfficeMax in writing at the address specified in paragraph 13; however by withdrawing your consent to use Data, you may affect your eligibility to participate in the Plan.
