Dear [NAME],

We are pleased to advise you that the Compensation & Talent Committee of the Board of Directors of The ODP Corporation (the “Committee” and the “Company”, respectively), upon approval of the Board of Directors of The ODP Corporation has on [DATE] (the “Grant Date”) granted you a restricted stock unit award (your “Award”) pursuant to The ODP Corporation 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this [YEAR] Restricted Stock Unit 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 NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

1. Award

You have been granted [NUMBER] restricted stock units subject to the provisions and restrictions contained in the Plan and this Agreement (the “RSUs”). This Award of RSUs represents the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) on the payment dates specified below.

2. Vesting

The RSUs are fully vested on the Grant Date.

3. Payment

a. Time and Form of Payment. Your RSUs shall be paid to you in three annual installments, as follows: one-third of your RSUs (rounded up to the nearest whole RSU, as necessary) shall be paid to you within thirty (30) days following the first anniversary of your Section 409A Separation from Service (as defined in Section 14(a) below) with the Company; one-third of your RSUs (rounded up to the nearest whole RSU, as necessary) shall be paid to you within thirty (30) days following the second anniversary of your Section 409A Separation from Service (as defined in Section 14(a) below) with the Company; and all remaining RSUs shall be paid to you within thirty (30) days following the third anniversary of your Section 409A Separation from Service (as defined in Section 14(a) below) with the Company.

4. Non-Transferability of RSUs

Your RSUs may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than upon death to a beneficiary under the Plan or by will or the laws of descent and distribution until the RSUs are paid to you pursuant to Section 3; any such purported sale, pledge, assignment or transfer shall be void and of no effect.

5. Rights as Stockholder

a. Dividends and Other Distributions. If any dividends are paid or other distributions are made on the Common Stock prior to the date on which the RSUs are paid pursuant to Section 3, dividend equivalents or other distribution equivalents (as applicable) shall be credited to a notional account maintained on the books of the Company for your benefit in the same form and amount as if the RSUs were an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Any such dividend equivalents or other distribution equivalents shall be paid to you, without interest, at the same time as the corresponding RSUs are paid to you pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent such equivalents are credited on the books of the Company for your benefit as a cash amount, the Company shall make payment of such cash amount to you. To the extent such equivalents are credited on the books of the Company for your benefit as a number of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall make payment by issuing to you and registering in your name a certificate or certificates for (or evidencing in book entry or similar account) that number of shares of Common Stock; such shares will not be subject to any restrictions under this Agreement but may be subject to certain restrictions under applicable securities laws.

b. Other Rights as Stockholder. Except as specified in Section 5(a) above, you shall have no voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to RSUs. Upon payment of RSUs in shares of Common Stock, you shall obtain full voting and other rights of a stockholder of the Company as to such shares.

Your Award is intended to conform in all respects with, and is 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 this Award 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 Common 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.
