                     (            ) shares of the $.05 par value common
stock of the Company, subject to the conditions set forth herein. 
  
 (a) Vesting. The Deferred Shares shall vest and become payable to Executive [OPTION #1: on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date provided that, except as provided in Section 2(c), Executive is employed by the Company or a subsidiary or other affiliate on the applicable vesting date] [OPTION #2: upon Executive’s
retirement from the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates on or after the attainment of age 62]. 
  
 (b) Delivery of Shares. The Company shall cause a stock certificate representing the vested Deferred Shares to be transferred to Executive
as soon as practicable after the vesting date. The Company may satisfy its payment obligation, net of applicable taxes and other source deductions required to be withheld by the Company, by having an independent broker acquire shares on the open
market on behalf of the Executive. 
  
 (c) Termination of
Employment; Change in Control. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason other than Retirement before the Deferred Shares have vested, all unvested shares shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the Company
terminates Executive’s employment other than for Cause, (2) Executive’s employment terminates due to death or Disability, or (3) Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company in connection with a Change in Control that occurs
while Executive is employed by the Company, any Deferred Shares that have not yet vested shall immediately vest. The Company shall issue such Deferred Shares to Executive within ten (10) days after the termination of Executive’s employment or
such later time as may be required by insider trading or other applicable securities laws. Upon employment termination due to Retirement before the vesting date specified in Section 2(b), all Deferred Shares that have not lapsed as of the date of
Executive’s Retirement shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a) and

the Company shall issue such Deferred Shares to Executive as soon as practicable after the Deferred Shares vest; provided, however, that if after reaching
Retirement, Executive becomes, either directly or indirectly, employed with a Competitor, all unvested Deferred Shares shall be immediately forfeited. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(c) to the contrary, the Deferred Shares shall not be
issued to Executive until six (6) months after his or her termination of employment to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable. 
  
 3. Adjustments for Dividends. Upon the payment of any cash dividend on shares of common stock of the Company before
the issuance of a stock certificate representing the Deferred Shares, the number of Deferred Shares shall be increased by the number obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of the dividend that would be payable if each Deferred Share were
issued and outstanding and entitled to dividends on the dividend payment date, by (y) the Fair Market Value of the common stock on the dividend payment date. The number of Deferred Shares shall also be entitled to such adjustments as are determined
by the Committee under Section 11 of the Plan. 
  
 4.
Stockholder Rights. The Deferred Shares shall not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner, whether by the operation of law or otherwise prior to vesting. Upon vesting and the issuance of a stock
certificate representing the Deferred Shares, Executive shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Deferred Shares, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made
available with respect to such shares. Before the delivery of such stock certificate, Executive shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Deferred Shares. 
  
 5. Adjustments. The number of shares covered by the Deferred Shares and, if applicable, the kind of shares
covered by the Deferred Shares shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, or combination of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Committee may make or provide for such adjustment in the number of shares
covered by the Deferred Shares, and the kind of shares covered by the Deferred Shares, as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Executive’s
rights that otherwise would result from (a) any exchange of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets (other than a normal cash dividend), issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to
any of the foregoing. No amount shall be paid to, and no units shall be granted to Executive to compensate Executive for a downward fluctuation in the price of the common shares, nor will any benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, Executive
for such purpose. 
  
 6. Fractional Shares. The
Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares pursuant to this Award, and the Committee may round fractions down. 
  

 4 

 7. Withholding. Executive shall pay all applicable federal, state and local income and employment
taxes (including taxes of any foreign jurisdiction) which the Company is required to withhold at any time with respect to the Deferred Shares. Such payment shall be made in full, at Executive’s election, in cash or check, by withholding from
the Executive’s next normal payroll check, or by the tender of Deferred Shares payable under this Award. Deferred Shares tendered as payment of required withholding shall be valued at the closing price per share of the Company’s common
stock on the date such withholding obligation arises. 
  
 8. No
Impact on Other Benefits and Employment. This Award shall not confer upon Executive any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company and shall not interfere in any way with any right that the Company
would otherwise have to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, subject to the terms of any employment agreement. Nothing herein contained shall affect Executive’s right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance
with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance or other employment plan or program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries nor constitute an obligation for continued employment. 
  
 9. Plan Provisions. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, this award of Deferred Shares is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Award and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Award and the Plan, the Plan shall control. 
  
 10. Notice. Any written notice required or permitted by this Award shall be mailed, certified mail (return
receipt requested) or hand-delivered, addressed to Company’s Executive Vice President – Human Resources at Company’s corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia as set forth in Section 1(c), or to Executive at Executive’s most
recent home address on record with the Company. Notices are effective upon receipt. 
  
 11. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a)
Limitation of Rights. The granting of the award of Deferred Shares shall not give Executive any right to similar grants in future years or any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or to interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate Executive’s services at any time or the right of Executive to terminate his or her services at any time. 
  
 (b) Claim and Review Procedures. The claim and review procedures set forth in the Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan For
Officers are incorporated herein by reference. 
  

 5 

 (c) Rights Unsecured. The Company shall remain the owner of all amounts deferred pursuant to this
Agreement, and Executive shall have only Company’s unfunded, unsecured promise to pay. The rights of Executive hereunder shall be that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, and Executive shall not have any security interest in any
assets of the Company. 
  
 (d) Limitation of Actions. Any
lawsuit with respect to any matter arising out of or relating to this Award must be filed no later than the earlier of the date that the Company denies the claim made by Executive or any earlier date that the claim otherwise accrues. 
  
 (e) Offset. The Company shall have the right to deduct from
amounts otherwise payable under this Award all amounts owed by Executive to Company and its affiliates to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (f) Controlling Law. Executive and the Company agree that in light of the Executive being employed in two different jurisdictions, for purposes of
certainty, it is the parties desire that this Award shall be construed, interpreted and applied in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof. Executive and the Company hereby
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware. Executive and the Company also both irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection either may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute, and both parties agree to accept service of legal process in Delaware. Executive agrees that the Company may seek enforcement
in a Canadian court of any United States judgement obtained pursuant to this Award and Executive agrees not to raise any objection to the Company seeking enforcement of said judgement in a Canadian court. 
  
 (g) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction
contained in the Award is held by a court or a federal regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in the Award shall remain in full
force and effect, and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. 
  
 (h) Construction. The Award contains the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior understanding and agreements between them representing the subject matter hereof, except that this
Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any employment agreement and non-competition/non-solicitation agreement between Executive and Company. There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or
written, between and among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof which are not fully expressed herein. 
  
 (i) Headings. Section and other headings contained in the Award are for reference purposes only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret,
define or limit the scope, extent or intent of the Award or any provision hereof.
