3

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.

In the event of a Change in Control, death or employment termination due to permanent and total disability, any unvested Deferred Shares shall immediately vest and become payable to the Associate or Associate’s estate.

(b) Delivery of Shares . Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c), the Company shall cause a stock certificate representing the vested Deferred Shares to be transferred to Associate 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 or a Company subsidiary, by having an independent broker acquire shares on the open market on behalf of the Associate. The Company will not be required to deliver any shares pursuant to this Award if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Prior to the issuance of any shares pursuant to this Award, the Company may require that Associate (or Associate’s legal representative upon Associate’s death or disability) enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Award.

(c) Change in Employment Status . If Associate’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for reasons other than [ DO NOT USE WITH OPTION 1 VESTING: Retirement,] death or permanent and total disability, any Deferred Shares which have not yet become vested as of the date of Associate’s termination shall be immediately forfeited by Associate. [ USE WITH OPTION 1 VESTING: Upon employment termination due to Retirement, all Deferred Shares that have not lapsed as of the date of Associate’s Retirement shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Award, provided that a sufficient number of shares shall vest at the time said Deferred Shares become taxable to Associate to cover applicable tax withholding required pursuant to Section 7; further provided, that if after reaching Retirement, Associate becomes, either directly or indirectly, employed with a Competitor, all unvested Deferred Shares shall be immediately forfeited.]

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 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 before vesting. Upon vesting and the issuance of a stock certificate representing the Deferred Shares, Associate 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, Associate 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 Company 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 Company in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Associate’s rights that otherwise would result from (a)

No amount shall be paid to, and no units shall be granted to Associate to compensate Associate for a downward fluctuation in the price of the common shares, nor will any benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, Associate for such purpose.

6. Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares pursuant to this Award, and the Company may round fractions down.

7. Withholding . Associate shall pay all applicable income, employment or other taxes (including taxes of any foreign jurisdiction) which the Company or a Company subsidiary is required to withhold at any time with respect to the Deferred Shares. Such payment shall be made in full, at Associate’s election, in cash or check, by withholding from the Associate’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.

[EXECUTIVE OFFICER]

THE HOME DEPOT, INC.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION IS GRANTED by The Home Depot, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Company”), to you, an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”), a summary of which has been delivered to you. The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by this reference. The Company recognizes the value of your continued service as a key employee and has awarded you this nonqualified stock option under the Plan, subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. The Company hereby grants you on and as of the date specified above (“Grant Date”) a nonqualified stock option (“Option”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Plan, to purchase from the Company the above-stated number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.05 par value, at the price per share stated above (“Option Price”), which Option shall expire on the expiration date stated above (“Exp. Date”), unless it expires earlier in accordance with the terms hereof.

2. The Option shall be exercisable, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Option shall become exercisable in installments, as follows: Twenty-five percent (25%)  of the total number of shares subject to this Option shall become exercisable on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date.

3. Upon the termination of your employment (for any reason other than Retirement, death or permanent and total disability or Discharge for Cause) or if your employment status changes to a position which the Company deems to be ineligible for this nonqualified stock option award, Option shares that have not become exercisable as of the date of such event shall immediately lapse. Option shares that are exercisable as of the date of termination of employment will lapse unless exercised within a period of three (3) months of the date of termination of employment. Upon the termination of your employment upon Retirement, all stock options that are not exercisable as of the date of your Retirement shall continue to vest according to the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 and all stock options shall remain exercisable until the Exp. Date; provided, however, that if after reaching Retirement you become directly or indirectly employed by a Competitor, all unvested options shall immediately lapse. “Retirement” means employment termination upon attainment of age 60 with at least five (5) years of continuous service with the Company and its subsidiaries. “Competitor” means any company or entity engaged in any way in a business that competes directly or indirectly with the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related entities. Upon your death or the termination of your employment by reason of permanent and total disability, all Option shares shall immediately become fully exercisable as of the date of death or termination and shall lapse unless exercised within a period of one (1) year from the date of death or termination. In no event shall the above time periods extend beyond the Exp. Date. In the event of Discharge for Cause, all Option shares, whether presently exercisable or not, shall immediately lapse and become null and void on and as of the date of termination. “Discharge for Cause” means the termination from employment because of an event involving moral turpitude or dishonesty, a gross failure or negligence on your part in performing your expected duties, a violation of the Company’s substance abuse policies, or a willful misconduct or action by you that is damaging or detrimental to the Company. A determination by the Company that a termination is a Discharge for Cause will be conclusive and binding.

4. All unvested options shall vest immediately upon a Change of Control and shall remain exercisable until the Exp. Date. For purposes of this paragraph 4, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) as in effect at the time of such change in control, provided that such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any “person” (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) (2) of the 1934 Act), is or becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power for election of directors of the then outstanding securities of the Company or any successor of the Company; (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board cease, for any reason, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election or nomination for election of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was so approved; (iii) the consummation of any merger or consolidation, approved by the stockholders of the Company, as a result of which the common stock of the Company shall be changed, converted or exchanged (other than a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) or of any sale or other disposition in one or a series of related transactions of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company, or the approval by stockholders of any liquidation of the Company; or (iv) the consummation of any merger or consolidation, approved by the stockholders of the Company, to which the Company is a party as a result of which the persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation shall have beneficial ownership of less than 50% of the combined voting power for election of directors of the surviving corporation following the effective date of such merger or consolidation.

5. The exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised in whole or in part but in no event with respect to a fractional share from time to time until the Exp. Date. Exercise shall be by notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased, the Option Price of each share and the aggregate Option Price for all shares being purchased under said notice. The notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Option Price for the number of shares purchased and any applicable withholding taxes. Such exercise (subject to Paragraph 6 hereof) shall be effective upon the actual receipt of such payment and notice to the Company. The aggregate Option Price for all shares purchased pursuant to an exercise of the Option shall be paid by check payable to the order of the Company, shares of Common Stock of the Company held by you for at least six (6) months, the fair market value of which at the time of such exercise is equal to the aggregate Option Price (or portion thereof to be paid with previously owned Common Stock). Payment of the Option Price in shares of Common Stock shall be made by delivering properly endorsed stock certificates to the Company or otherwise causing such Common Stock to be transferred to the account of the Company, either physically or through attestation. In addition, the aggregate Option Price for all shares purchased pursuant to an exercise of the Option may be paid from the proceeds of sale through a bank or broker on the date of exercise of some or all of the shares to which the exercise relates. There shall be furnished with each notice of the exercise of any portion of the Option such documents as the Company in its discretion may deem necessary to assure compliance with applicable rules and regulations of any stock exchange or governmental authority. No rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect to such shares issuable upon the exercise of any part of the Option shall accrue to you unless and until certificates representing such shares have been registered in your name.

6. The Option shall not be exercised in whole or in part and no related share certificates shall be delivered in the sole discretion of the Company: (a) if such exercise or delivery would constitute a violation of any provision of, or any regulation or order entered pursuant to, any law purporting to regulate wages, salaries or compensation; or (b) if any requisite approval, consent, registration or other qualification of any stock exchange upon which the securities of the Company may then be listed, the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the exercise of the Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto, shall not have been secured.

7. If the grant date of the Option is on or after June 10, 2008 and on or before June 10, 2012, the Company shall retain one-third of any shares acquired through exercise of the Option on or before June 10, 2012, after taking into account the surrender or sale of shares for payment of the Option Price and any tax withholding as a result of such exercise, for at least twelve (12) months, or such earlier time as you cease to be an executive officer of the Company as a result of death, resignation, termination, or other reason (the “Retention Period”). Upon expiration of the Retention Period, the retained shares shall be released to you, free and clear of further retention restrictions.

8. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Option shall not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, whether by the operation of law or otherwise. An option may be exercised, during your lifetime, only by you or your legal representative. Upon any attempt to do anything prohibited by this paragraph, the Option shall immediately become null and void.

9. Nothing herein contained shall constitute an obligation for continued employment.

8. Adjustments . The Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment or substitution in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan.

9. Withholding . You are responsible for 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 Performance Shares to satisfy its minimum statutory withholding requirements. Such payment shall be made in full at your election, in cash or check, by withholding from your next normal payroll check, or by the tender of shares of Common Stock payable under this Award. Shares of Common Stock tendered as payment of required withholding shall be valued at the closing price per share of Common Stock on the date such withholding obligation arises.

10. [ OPTIONAL : Confidential Information . You acknowledge that through your employment with the Company that you have acquired and had access to the Company’s confidential and proprietary business information and trade secrets. You agree that the Company may prevent the use or disclosure of its confidential information and proprietary business information and trade secrets and acknowledges that the Company has taken all reasonable steps necessary to protect the secrecy of the information. You agree that you have not and in the future will not use or disclose to any third party Confidential Information, unless compelled by law and after notice to the Company.]

11. [ OPTIONAL (NON-LEGAL): Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation . You agree that you will not, while you are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and for a period of 24 months subsequent to the termination of such employment, enter into or maintain an employment or contractual relationship, either directly or indirectly, to provide services to a Competitor of substantially the same nature as you provided to the Company or its subsidiaries. In the event you wish to enter into any relationship or employment before the end of the above-referenced 24 month period which would be covered by the above non-compete provision, you agree to request written permission from the Company’s Executive Vice President, Human Resources before entering any such relationship or employment. The Company may approve or not approve of the relationship or employment at its absolute discretion. You agree that while you are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and for a period of 36 months subsequent to the termination of your employment, you will not directly or indirectly solicit any person who is an employee of the Company to terminate his or her relationship with the Company without prior written approval from the Company’s Executive Vice President, Human Resources.]

11. [ OPTIONAL (LEGAL) : Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation . The Company shall not limit your rights to be employed by or engaged in any business or other activities except as specifically set forth herein. You acknowledge that during your employment with the Company, you have had access to and acquired the Company’s privileged and Confidential Information on a very wide range of issues and subject matter of concern to the Company, and that it would be impossible for you to provide legal services or advice to a Competitor on the great majority of subjects without creating a conflict of interest with respect to the Company as your former client by using, relying on or disclosing this Confidential Information in violation of your ethical obligations referred to above. You agree that given these circumstances it is reasonable that while you are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and for 24 months subsequent to the termination of your employment, you will not provide legal services or advice, either directly or indirectly, to any Competitor without the prior written consent of the Company, regardless of whether the services are provided through a direct employment or contractual relationship with a Competitor or through a law firm, consulting firm, or any other entity that provides legal services or advice to a Competitor of the Company. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit you from working for a law firm, consulting firm, or any other entity that represents or advises a Competitor so long as you personally provide no services or advice to such competitor, or to other persons working within that entity with respect to such Competitor, before the end of the above-referenced 24 month period. In the event

3

you wish to enter into any relationship or employment before the end of the above-referenced 24 month period which would be covered by the above non-compete and/or non-disclosure or conflict of interest provisions, you agree to request written consent and a waiver of the aforementioned conflict of interest from the Company’s General Counsel before entering any such relationship or employment. The Company may consent or not consent to the relationship or employment at its absolute discretion. Alternatively, in the event that you believe that such new relationship or employment, despite being with or for a Competitor, is not with respect to any matter that is substantially related to any work done for the Company and therefore does not implicate the conflict of interest provisions, or otherwise does not present a situation in which you would use Confidential Information in such a way as to benefit a person other than the Company, you agree to inform the Company’s General Counsel of the basis for that conclusion and to request the Company’s agreement. The Company may reasonably request further information, but will not unreasonably withhold its agreement to such a request by you. You further agree that while you are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and for a period of 36 months subsequent to the termination of your employment, you will not directly or indirectly solicit any person who is an employee of the Company to terminate his or her relationship with the Company without prior written approval from the Company’s Executive Vice President, Human Resources.]

This Award and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Award or the Plan to fail to satisfy Code Section 409A shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Code Section 409A (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A and may be made by the Company without your consent).
