UNITED NATURAL FOODS, INC. Terms and Conditions of Grant of Restricted Share Units to Employee Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan

2.    Grant of Restricted Share Units. Effective on the Grant Date and subject to the provisions of the Plan and these Terms and Conditions, the Company has granted to the Participant the number of Restricted Share Units set forth in the Communication of Award. A Restricted Share Unit does not represent an equity interest in the Company and carries no voting or dividend rights. The information contained in the Communication of Award with respect to the Participant and the Restricted Share

Units is incorporated herein by reference and together with these Terms and Conditions shall constitute an Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) for purposes of the Plan. By accepting the award of Restricted Share Units and acknowledging these Terms and Conditions, the Participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and these Terms and Conditions with respect to the Restricted Share Units. Acceptance of the award of Restricted Share Units and acknowledgment of these Terms and Conditions may be made in a writing signed by the Participant and delivered to the Company or through the online award acceptance process used in connection with electronic administration of awards under the Plan.

3.    Restriction Period.

(a)    The Restriction Period shall expire with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Share Units on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, conditioned on the Participant maintaining continuous employment with (or other service-providing capacity with) the Company from the Grant Date (or if later, the date on which the Participant first became an employee or service provider) to the four year anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restriction Period shall expire with respect to all Restricted Share Units upon the death or Disability of the Participant.

(b)    The Restriction Period shall be deemed to expire for all Restricted Share Units if, within twelve months after the Company obtains actual knowledge that a Change in Control has occurred, the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is terminated for any reason.

(c)    If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate is terminated, or the Participant otherwise separates from service under circumstances not described in Sections 3(a) or 3(b), all Restricted Share Units as to which the Restriction Period has not expired shall be canceled immediately, and shall not be payable, except to the extent the Committee decides otherwise.

4.    Payment. No later than 2½ months after the end of the calendar year in which the Restriction Period expires with respect to Restricted Share Units, the Company shall issue to the Participant (or the Participant’s assignee or beneficiary if permitted by the Plan or the Committee) one Share for each Restricted Share Unit for which the Restriction Period expired.

5.    Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued upon expiration of the Restriction Period (including, without limitation, voting rights and any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such Shares) unless and until the Restriction Period shall have expired. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Restriction Period shall have expired.

6.    Withholding. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares upon the expiration of the Restriction Period shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations or withholding taxes, including any employer minimum statutory withholding, (“Withholding Taxes”), and the Participant shall pay the amount of any such Withholding Taxes to the Company as set forth in this Section 5. The Participant may satisfy his or her obligation to pay the Withholding Taxes by (i) making a cash payment to the Company in an amount equal to the Withholding Taxes; (ii) having the Company withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant in connection with the expiration of the Restriction Period; (iii) delivering to the Company, actually or by attestation, shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant; or (iv) by a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii), provided that in the case of (ii) or (iii) the amount of such Shares withheld or shares of Common Stock delivered (valued at the Fair Market Value of such shares on such date of delivery or withholding) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant an amount not to exceed the Withholding Taxes.

7.    No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in the Award Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

8.    Amendment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Award Agreement and the Restricted Share Units, prospectively or retroactively in time (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Share Units shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary. The Committee is authorized to make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, the Award Agreement and the Restricted Share Units as set forth in the Plan.

9.    Determinations by Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons.

11.    Nontransferability of Restricted Share Units. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Share Units and this Award Agreement shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Restricted Share Units otherwise than as permitted by the Plan and this Award Agreement shall, at the election of the Company, be null and void. Transfer of the Restricted Share Units for value is not permitted under the Plan or this Award Agreement.
