Mark Holifield

Dear Mark:

I am pleased to confirm The Home Depot, Inc.’s (the “Company”) offer and your acceptance in the position of Executive Vice President - Supply Chain and Product Development reporting directly to me. Your new annual base salary will be $740,000, payable in equal bi-weekly installments. Your next salary review will be held in April of 2015, with salary reviews held annually thereafter.

In addition to your base salary, you will continue to be eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) for officers, which provides an annual incentive target of up to 100% of your base salary. MIP will be paid annually based on achievement of the established financial goals. To be eligible for payment of any incentive, you must be employed on the day on which the incentive is paid.

The Home Depot has typically awarded an annual equity grant to Officers in March of each year under the Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“the Amended and Restated Plan”).  Currently, equity awards for Officers in March 2014 are expected to consist of Performance-based Restricted Stock, Stock Options, and Performance Shares.  Vesting and performance goals for these awards are established annually for each grant.  You will be eligible to receive the same types of equity awards as other Officers in the Company. 

Coincident with your acceptance of this letter, at the February 27, 2014 meeting of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, you will receive a grant under the Amended and Restated Plan of the greatest number of whole shares of restricted common stock of The Home Depot, Inc. resulting from dividing $250,000 by the closing stock price on the grant date, with 50% of the grant vesting in 30 months and the remaining 50% vesting in 60 months. Once these provisions lapse, the shares will be yours, free and clear of restrictions, subject to the applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Plan and your award document. You will also receive a grant of nonqualified stock options under the Amended and Restated Plan equal to the greatest number of whole shares of common stock of The Home Depot, Inc. resulting from dividing $250,000 by the grant date accounting cost of the stock options, with an exercise price equal to the closing stock price on the grant date. Twenty-five percent of the stock options will become exercisable on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. Expiration of all stock options will be the earlier of ten years from the grant date, employment termination, or any earlier time provided by your award document.

In addition to the above grants, you will continue to be eligible to participate in The Home Depot, Inc.’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The plan affords you the opportunity to purchase The Home Depot, Inc. common stock at a 15% discount through payroll deductions.

You will also continue to be eligible to participate in The Home Depot Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers. This plan affords you the opportunity to defer up to 50% of your base salary and 100% of your MIP payment into the plan.

The terms of the MIP and other benefits set forth herein are subject to future modification or termination at the Company’s discretion. All compensation and benefits are subject to any required tax withholding.
