State Contracts Office Depot currently has state contracts with approximately 20 U.S. states and sells to numerous other state and local government agencies, many of which are long- standing relationships. We continue to aggressively promote our government business, including participating in numerous bids. Following competitive bid processes, we were recently awarded a sole-source supply contract in the State of Nebraska and a portion of a multi-source contract in the State of New York. We regularly work with our government customers to ensure complete satisfaction. Office Depot has been doing business in the State of Georgia for over 20 years. Since 1988, Office Depot has successfully served hundreds of state and local customers in Georgia through its direct sales division, selling millions of products to satisfied customers. In February of 2008, the State terminated Office Depot's most recent supply contract. In July 2008, after we asserted our strong performance and contested the termination, the State rescinded its prior decisions to suspend and debar Office Depot, and it converted its prior termination to one of convenience. Although Office Depot did not participate in the most recent bid in Georgia, we will continue to sell to all State and local agencies until a new contract is awarded and thereafter to local agencies that are not required to use the new statewide contract.

Office Depot de Mexico The Company has not moved forward with selling its investment in its Mexican joint venture in conjunction with the unsolicited, nonbinding proposal from its joint venture partner. Office Depot continues to engage in discussions with its partner regarding strategic alternatives for the business that will add to cash flow and increase shareholder value. Decisions regarding alternatives for this business would need to consider, among other things, the share repurchase restrictions in the Company's asset-based loan facility (which currently prohibits share repurchases). The proceeds received from a potential sale would be reduced by about 40 percent due to taxes. There can be no assurance that any agreement on financial or other terms satisfactory to the Company will result or that any transaction will be approved or completed. The joint venture is expected to contribute between $35 and $40 million in net income this year to Office Depot.

Summary and Outlook Disappointed with third quarter results and the decline of the stock price Given the uncertain environment, liquidity is paramount Reviewing asset base Potential sale and leaseback arrangements Potentially exiting businesses with negative cash flows Possibly closing some North American stores Committed to managing the Company through challenging times Managing sales Cutting costs Reducing capital spending Improving cash flow

Charges from 2005 Plan During the third quarter of 2005, we announced a number of material charges relating to asset impairments, exit costs and other operating decisions (the "Charges"). This announcement followed a wide-ranging assessment of assets and commitments which began in the second quarter of 2005. We indicated that these actions would continue to impact our results for several years, and expenses associated with future activities would be recognized as the individual plans are implemented and the applicable accounting recognition criteria are met. As with any estimate, the amounts may change when expenses are incurred. in millions Q3 Q3 Q3 Q3 Q3 Q3 Projected(1) Projected(1) Projected(1) Projected(1) Projected(1) 2008 2007 Program to Date Program to Date 2008 Q4 2009 Total Income Statement Charges $ 5 $ 1 $ 417 $ 417 $ 8 $ 46 $ 471 Cash Flow Impact Cash $ 5 $ (3) $ 154 $ 154 $ 8 $ 39 $ 201 Non-Cash - $ 4 $ 263 $ 263 $ - $ 7 $ 270 1Future amounts may be impacted by Company-wide review initiated in fourth quarter of 2008.
