RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT UNDER THE FRESH MARKET, INC. 2010 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN, dated as of [—], 2010, between The Fresh Market, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and [NAME].

This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award of [—] shares (the “Award”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (each, a “Share”), that are being granted to you on the date hereof (such date, the “Grant Date”), that are subject to the terms and conditions specified herein (“Restricted Shares”), and that are granted to you under The Fresh Market, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

THIS AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10 OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT. BY SIGNING YOUR NAME BELOW, YOU SHALL HAVE CONFIRMED YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT.

SECTION 1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, all the terms of which are hereby incorporated in this Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan, on the one hand, and the terms of this Award Agreement or any other arrangement between you and the Company (any such arrangement, a “Company Arrangement”), on the other hand, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Except as set forth in Section 10 of this Award Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms of any other Company Arrangement, the terms of such Company Arrangement shall govern.

SECTION 2. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. As used in this Award Agreement, the term “Vesting Date” means the date on which your rights with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Shares subject to this Award Agreement may become fully vested, and the restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement may lapse, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Award Agreement.

SECTION 3. Vesting and Delivery. (a) Vesting. On each Vesting Date set forth below, your rights with respect to the number of Restricted Shares that corresponds to such Vesting Date, as specified in the chart below, shall become vested and such Restricted Shares shall become nonforfeitable and transferable, provided that you must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the relevant Vesting Date, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or as otherwise provided in any other Company Arrangement.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On or following the date of this Award Agreement, the Restricted Shares subject to this Award Agreement shall be evidenced in such manner as the Company shall determine. Any certificate or book entry credit issued or entered in respect of such Restricted Shares shall be registered in your name and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares, substantially in the following form:

“The transferability of the shares of stock represented hereby is subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of The Fresh Market, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and an Award Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of applicable law. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of The Fresh Market, Inc.”

The Company shall require that the certificates or book entry credits evidencing title of the Restricted Shares be held in custody by the Company until such time, if any, as your rights with respect to the Restricted Shares have vested, and the Company may require that, as a condition of your receiving the Restricted Shares you shall have delivered to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Restricted Shares. To the extent that your rights with respect to the Restricted Shares become vested, the legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates or book entry credits evidencing such Shares.

SECTION 4. Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as otherwise provided in any other Company Arrangement, if your rights with respect to any Restricted Shares awarded to you pursuant to this Award Agreement have not become vested prior to the date on which your employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, your rights with respect to such Restricted Shares shall immediately terminate, and you shall be entitled to no further payments or benefits with respect thereto.

SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Dividends. Prior to the date on which your rights with respect to a Restricted Share have become vested, you shall be entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to such Restricted Share and shall be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with respect thereto.

SECTION 6. Non-Transferability of Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered except as provided in Section 9(c) of the Plan. Any purported sale, assignment, alienation, transfer, pledge, attachment or other encumbrance of a Restricted Share in violation of the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 9(c) of the Plan shall be void.

SECTION 7. Section 83(b) Election, Withholding, Consents and Legends. (a) Section 83(b) Election. You are authorized, if you so choose, to file an election with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Shares. You agree that if you make such Section 83(b) election, you shall provide a copy of such election to the Company not later than ten days after filing the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority. The Company has made no recommendation to you with respect to the advisability of making any such election. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to seek advice regarding Section 83(b) of the Code and to determine the effect of making or failing to make such election.

(b) Withholding. The delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Award Agreement is conditioned on satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 9(l) of the Plan. In the event that there is withholding tax liability in connection with the vesting of Restricted Shares, you may satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax liability by having the Company withhold from the number of Restricted Shares you would be entitled to receive, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding tax liability.

(c) Consents. Your rights in respect of the Restricted Shares are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable (including your consenting to the Company’s supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan).

(d) Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject under any applicable securities laws). The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.
