Payment Upon Termination Due to Death. If your termination occurs as a result of your death, payment with respect to your vested Restricted Stock Units relating to your RSU Award shall be made only to your beneficiary, executor or administrator of your estate or 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
