MEDIFAST, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN
DEFERRED SHARE NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTOR AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to your Deferred Share Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Award Agreement, Medifast, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to you Deferred Shares (“RSUs” or “Award”) under the Plan covering the number of RSUs indicated in your Grant Notice, which vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule indicated in your Grant Notice and this Award Agreement.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan or your Grant Notice.
The details of your RSUs are as follows:
1.Determination of Number of Vested RSUs. Your RSUs are subject to the Vesting Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice. On each vesting date (“Vesting Date”) set forth in the Vesting Schedule, you will vest in the specified percentage of your RSUs, and your vested RSUs shall be settled in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement; provided that you satisfy the requirements of Section 2 of this Agreement or vest in your RSUs in accordance with Section 3 of this Award Agreement.
2.Eligibility for Payment or Distribution. You must be continuously participating on the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries from the Grant Date through and up to a Vesting Date specified in your Grant Notice to be eligible for a payment or distribution of your RSUs that vest and become nonforfeitable on such Vesting Date. If you incur a Termination of Service prior to a Vesting Date, you will forfeit any non-vested RSUs that you then hold on the date of such Termination of Service and you shall not be entitled to any distribution or payout with respect to such forfeited RSUs, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5 of this Award Agreement.
3.Effect of a Change in Control Prior to a Vesting Date. The treatment of any nonvested RSUs that you hold upon or after a Change in Control will be determined under Section 8 of the Plan.
4.Form and Timing of Settlement of RSUs. Except to the extent that an election to defer the RSUs has been made pursuant to the Company’s Director Deferred Compensation Plan, within thirty (30) days of a Vesting Date, the Company will issue and deliver to you the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of your RSUs that vested on such Vesting Date, subject to satisfaction of applicable tax and/or other obligations as described in Section 9 of this Award Agreement.
5.Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding Shares and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold RSUs granted pursuant to this Award Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall credit to an account maintained by the Company for your benefit an amount equal to the cash dividends you would have received if you were the holder of record, as of such record date, of the number of Shares related to the portion of the RSUs that have not been settled or forfeited as of such record date (the “Dividend Equivalent” or “DER”). Such account is intended to constitute an “unfunded” account, and neither this Section 5 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Section 5 shall be construed to create a trust of any kind. Amounts credited to such account with respect to RSUs that vest in accordance with Sections 2 or 3 of this Award Agreement will become vested DERs and will be paid to you in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the same time as your vested RSUs are settled. You shall not be entitled to receive any interest with respect to the timing of payment of DERs. In the event all or any portion of the RSUs granted to you pursuant to this Award Agreement fail to become vested under Sections 2 or 3 of this Award Agreement, the unvested DERs accumulated in your account with respect to such RSUs shall be forfeited.
6.Delivery of Shares. The Company shall deliver such Shares in settlement of your vested RSUs to you in accordance with this Section 6; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver Shares to you if (i) you have not satisfied all applicable tax withholding obligations, (ii) Shares are not properly registered or subject to an applicable exemption therefrom, (iii) Shares are not listed on the stock exchanges on which Company Shares are otherwise listed, or (iv) the Company determines that the delivery of Shares would violate any federal or state securities or other applicable laws. At the discretion of the Company, Shares may be delivered to you by book-entry credit to an account in your name established by the Company with the Company’s transfer agent, or upon written request from you (or your personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as the case may be) in certificates in your name (or your personal representative, beneficiary or estate).You shall not

acquire or have any rights as a shareholder of the Company until Shares issuable hereunder are actually issued and delivered to you in accordance with the Award Agreement.
7.Forfeiture and Recoupment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, you agree that your right to retain your Award, to retain any amount received pursuant to your Award and to retain any profit or gain you realized in connection with sale of such Shares, shall be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy or forfeiture policy adopted by the Company.
8.Restrictions on Resales of Shares. The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions, and limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by you or other subsequent transfers by you of any Shares issued as a result of the settlement of your RSUs, including (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by you and other RSU holders, and (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
9.Tax Consequences. You hereby agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities. You shall not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from your RSUs or your other compensation.
10.Restrictions on Transferability. Your RSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, exchanged, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) to the extent permitted by the Plan and allowed under applicable law and approved by the Committee in its sole discretion; or (iii) pursuant to a domestic relations order.
11.Beneficiary Designation. You may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Award Agreement is to be paid in case of your death before you receive any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by you, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by you in writing with the Secretary of the Company during your lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the time of your death shall be paid to your estate.
12.Securities Laws. This Award Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required, or the Committee determines are advisable. You agree to take all steps that the Company determines are necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of federal and state securities law in exercising your rights under this Award Agreement.
