2.2 Schedule. C&S will phase in the supply and procurement of Merchandise from July 10, 2005 through October 16, 2005, and all A&P Stores will be accepting delivery of their entire requirements of Merchandise from C&S by October 16, 2005. The detailed implementation schedule is attached hereto as Schedule 2.1. The implementation schedule may, by mutual agreement of the parties, be adjusted.

Section 3. Price, Upcharges and Fees.

3.1 Base Price. A&P shall pay C&S the Base Price for each product as set forth below, plus the applicable upcharges and fees.

(a) General. Except as stated below, the Base Price shall be the manufacturer’s published list price (as delivered) in the best bracket in which A&P or C&S normally purchases such item for the applicable facility (including all inbound transportation charges), less any published retail off-invoice allowances.

(b) Reserve Price. The "Reserve Price" shall be the price established at the time product is purchased into the Reserve.

(c) Fresh Deli (non-packaged), Produce, Floral, Fresh Meat, and Fresh Seafood. The Base Price for items in the Fresh Deli (non-packaged), Produce, Floral, Fresh Meat, and Fresh Seafood will be quoted * by C&S based upon market conditions and availability. The Base Price shall be reviewed with and accepted * by A&P. Produce and meat items covered by an A&P negotiated contract or any renewal thereof shall be sold at the A&P contracted price. If A&P can purchase an item covered by this Section 3.1(c) at a price lower than C&S’s quote, then C&S will match such quote or purchase the item from the A&P specified vendor. Additional perishable procurement procedures are set forth on Schedule 3.1(c).

(d) Private Label. A&P shall have the right to negotiate directly with vendors on the delivered price of A&P private label items to be shipped by C&S to A&P Stores. The private label items covered by this Section 3.1(d) will have a Base Price equal to the amount agreed to between A&P and the vendor, including all inbound and accessorial charges payable by C&S, provided that the price negotiated by A&P represents a market price.

(f) Logistics Programs. The Base Price shall include all current logistics, plant direct and other similar logistics programs that A&P is involved with as of the Effective Date. (Such programs are set forth on Schedule 3.1(f)). If a vendor initiates a new logistics program similar to those on Schedule 3.1(f), then C&S will reflect * of the net savings of such program in the Base Price after subtracting any costs of C&S related to compliance with such program, provided, however, if a vendor converts an A&P trade funding program into a logistics initiative, then A&P will be entitled to the full amount of such initiative less any costs related to C&S’s compliance with such initiative.

(g) Transferred Inventory. The Base Price for each item of Transferred Inventory (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) will be the price paid by C&S to A&P for such item.

3.2 Upcharges.

General Background. The per case cost to A&P under this Agreement will be * per case following June 1, 2006 premised on the provisions set forth in Sections 3.2(b), (c) and (d). While this per case cost is implemented in several components as noted below, the intent is that the upcharge of * per case will be the baseline cost and C&S will provide * reconciliation for variances or changes. The fee was reached based on A&P’s present overall distribution costs of approximately * minus over * in annual savings, which savings do not include any A&P overhead savings. Following such savings, C&S annual expenses charged to A&P would be approximately * initially following each Procurement Conversion Date and * following October 1, 2006. For example, if A&P’s annual case volume hereunder is * then the upcharge would be calculated as follows:

A&P’s blended warehousing and transportation:	*
A&P Initial Savings	*
Final Additional Initial Savings	*
Diverting Buyout (Section 3.2(c)(iv))	*
Facility Credit	*
Stop Fee Savings (Section 3.2(b)(ii))	*
Coupon Conversion Credit (Section 3.2(c)(v))	*
Additional Savings (Section 3.2(c)(vi))	*
Total:	*

(i) Warehouse Upcharge. A&P shall pay to C&S the per case Upcharges set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(i) (the “Upcharge”) on all Merchandise delivered to A&P following a Procurement Conversion Date as set forth below, except GM/HBC Merchandise and Merchandise supplied to the New Orleans division (“New Orleans Merchandise”). In addition to the Upcharge, A&P will pay to C&S a surcharge of * per case

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

on all private label cases in excess of * of the Merchandise supplied hereunder in any Contract Year.

The Procurement Conversion Date for Merchandise presently supplied from the below facilities shall be:

July 10, 2005	Edison and Freshtown
August 28, 2005	Baltimore
September 18, 2005	Central Islip
October 2, 2005	New Orleans
October 16, 2005	Dunmore

Prior to a Procurement Conversion Date, A&P will reimburse C&S for the total actual cost of operating the Facilities and the New Orleans Facility and delivering Merchandise consistent with A&P’s past practices, including without limitation, labor and benefit costs of the hired Affected Employees (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), all as calculated pursuant to Schedule 3.2(a)(i). However, the costs attributable to conversion to C&S systems, including costs related to training for EXE, shall not be reimbursed by A&P but will be borne by C&S. Within * following a Procurement Conversion Date the parties shall reconcile the actual costs charged for a facility prior to the Procurement Conversion Date.

(ii) Stop Fee. (A) Facility Deliveries. Prior to October 2, 2005, C&S will charge A&P for deliveries from the Facilities the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(i), provided that if A&P opens or closes a store(s), then the transportation expense to deliver or not to deliver to these stores will be added to or subtracted from such amount. The parties shall work together in good faith to reduce the transportation costs from the Facilities and C&S Facilities and, based on * cases supplied per Contract Year, in no event will such savings be less than * in the first Contract Year. Prior to August 1, 2005, C&S will provide A&P with a list of savings programs totaling at least *. On October 2, 2005, the parties will (i) take the projected annual transportation costs from the Facilities as they exist as of October 2 , 2005, minus (ii) the projected savings from the implementation of the savings programs implemented by C&S, (iii) divide the projected annual transportation costs by the projected number of total annual stops as of October 2, 2005 and (iv) the result of such calculation shall be the Stop Fee for Facilities following October 2, 2005. The method of calculating the Stop Fee is more fully set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(ii). It is agreed that A&P has the obligation to implement the savings programs needed to achieve the * savings except to the extent that to do so would in, A&P’s reasonable judgment, be materially detrimental to its business.

(B) C&S Facility Deliveries. For Merchandise that is not delivered from a Facility (e.g. Harrisburg, Windsor Locks, North Hatfield and PDC) (collectively, C&S Facilities”), prior to October 2, 2005, C&S will charge A&P for deliveries from C&S Facilities the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)(i), provided that if A&P opens or closes a store(s), then the transportation expense to deliver or not to deliver to these stores will be added to or subtracted from the such amount. On October 2, 2005, the parties

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-5-

will calculate the Stop Fee for C&S Facilities as follows: (i) * minus (ii) the projected amount of the annual savings resulting from the implementation of a savings program for a C&S Facility set forth on the list provided pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii)(A) (which when combined with the savings under Section 3.2(b)(ii)(A) shall be no less than *), (iii) divide the projected transportation costs by the number of total projected annual stops as of October 2, 2005 and (iv) the result of such calculation shall be the Stop Fee for C&S Facilities following October 2, 2005.

(iii) Dunmore Upcharge. (A) Following October 9, 2005, the upcharge for GM/HBC Merchandise is * per unit. The Dunmore upcharge reflects * of savings from A&P’s present costs in Dunmore. Attached as Schedule 3.2(b)(iii) is the calculation of the Dunmore Upcharge. In addition, the agreed to imputed rent for the Dunmore Facility shall be paid by A&P to C&S. The parties will establish the standard credit policy and reserve for Dunmore within * of the Effective Date. The parties will meet and discuss in good faith a volume incentive for GM/HBC volume.

(B) If for either the *, A&P’s purchases of GM/HBC Merchandise from C&S are less than *, then A&P shall pay to C&S a GM/HBC Reduced Volume Surcharge (the “Reduced Volume Surcharge”) equal to * for all * purchases for the applicable * less than *. The GM/HBC Reduced Volume Surcharge calculated as set forth in this Section 3.2(b)(iii)(B) for any * period shall be paid by A&P by the * after the end of any such period. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if A&P sells a division, then (i) the GM/HBC Upcharge shall be * resulting from such sale, (ii) the Upcharge will be adjusted to reflect the fact that * associated with the supply of GM/HBC merchandise, and (iii) the base for the GM/HBC Reduced Volume Surcharge shall be *.

(iv) New Orleans Upcharge. Following September 25, 2005, the upcharge for the New Orleans division shall be * per case (the actual cost of the New Orleans operations). In addition, the agreed to imputed rent for the owned New Orleans facility shall be paid by A&P to C&S. The New Orleans division supply arrangements shall be in accordance with this Agreement and Schedule 3.2(b)(iv).

(v) Baltimore Imputed Rent. In addition to the Warehouse Upcharge, the agreed to imputed rent for the owned Baltimore facility shall be paid by A&P to C&S.

(i) Upcharges. The essence of this upcharge section is that the Upcharge reflects A&P’s cost per case for the trailing * prior to February 26, 2005 for all distribution related expenses with a savings of * per case. Schedule 3.2(c)(i) sets forth the information used to calculate the Upcharge. Notwithstanding the parties’ best efforts regarding the determination of the proper Upcharge and other fees, surcharges, and incentives under Section 3 of this Agreement, within * of the end of the first Contract Quarter and * Contract Year, the parties shall meet to review the projections and data used to calculate the Upcharge and the other fees, surcharges, and incentives covered under

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

Section 3 of this Agreement and shall in good faith adjust, if necessary, the Upcharge and other fees, surcharges, and incentives under Section 3 of this Agreement based on the accuracy of the data provided or data unavailable at the time of the original calculations. It is the parties’ intent that A&P will continue to employ the same business practices with respect to the Facilities or otherwise with respect to supplying the A&P Stores as it employed while it was operating the Facilities (i.e., full pallet rounding and full pallet ordering, mix of inner packs/eaches/full cases) and the parties will maintain the same methodology for converting eaches to cases. If there is a fundamental change following the Commencement Date in A&P’s sales mix, service requirements or other substantive changes affecting the cost of supplying the A&P Stores, then the parties agree to meet and in good faith adjust the Upcharge.

(ii) CPI. Commencing with the * and for each * thereafter, C&S will * the Upcharge in Sections 3.2(b)(i) and (iii) (e.g. Warehouse and Dunmore) and the Cross Dock fee set forth in Section 3.5 based on * from the * as follows: *. The Warehouse Upcharge used for this calculation shall *, provided that the Warehouse Upcharge shall be adjusted to reflect *. To illustrate, assume that (i) the *, (ii) the CPI and the ECI for September *, (iii) the CPI for * and (iv) the Warehouse Upcharge less the Central Islip and Baltimore Facility occupancy expenses is *, then the Warehouse Upcharge for the * would be *

To further illustrate, assume that (i) the *, (ii) the CPI and the ECI for *, (iii) the CPI for * and (iv) the Warehouse Upcharge less the Central Islip and Baltimore Facility occupancy expenses is *, then the Warehouse Upcharge for the * would be *

(iii) Vendor Inbound Compliance. C&S will continue vendor inbound compliance programs and charge vendors for noncompliance (i.e., noncompliance with routing guide instructions, late delivery, missed appointments, broken pallets). If a fee is reduced or eliminated and A&P has not provided the support set forth in the prior sentence, then the upcharge will be increased to reflect such reduction or elimination, provided, however, prior to any such increase the Presidents of A&P and C&S shall meet to try and find another method for making up the decrease in vendor compliance income in lieu of increasing the upcharge.

(iv) *. The initial Warehouse Upcharge has been * to reflect A&P’s agreement *. C&S and A&P agree that *. C&S may *. To the extent that A&P requests that C&S * and C&S so complies, then the parties shall in good faith determine * and adjust the upcharge to compensate *. In addition, if A&P requests that C&S * and C&S’s compliance with such request causes *, then the parties shall in good faith determine the * and adjust the upcharge to compensate *. The parties will from time to time mutually agree to the *.

(v) Coupons. A&P will transfer its coupon processing to C&S and the parties will follow the coupon processing program set forth on Schedule 3.2(c)(v). Immediately following the commencement of C&S processing A&P’s coupons, the Upcharge will be reduced by * per case.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(vi) Additional Savings. On June 1, 2006, the Upcharge shall be reduced by * per case.

(d) Stop Fee Adjustments. (i) Fuel Cost Adjustment. For purposes of this Section 3.2(d)(i), the Base Cost of Fuel is as set forth on Schedule 3.2(d)(i). The Base Cost of Fuel is calculated as set forth on Schedule 3.2(d)(i). Within * of the end of each Contract Quarter, C&S shall calculate the cost of fuel for such Contract Quarter (the “Quarterly Fuel Cost”) in the same method as set forth on Schedule 3.2(d)(i) and shall either bill A&P if the Quarterly Fuel Cost is more than the Base Cost of Fuel or credit A&P if the Quarterly Fuel Cost is less than the Base Cost of Fuel calculated as follows: (i) the percentage increase or decrease in the Quarterly Cost of Fuel compared against the Base Cost of Fuel, multiplied by *. The Stop Fee Fuel Component for Facilities and C&S Facilities shall be calculated as part of the calculations done pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii). For example, if (i) the Base Cost of Fuel is $2.00, *.

(ii) Tolls and Road Taxes. Each Contract Quarter the Stop Fee for both Facilities and C&S Facilities shall be adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in tolls and road taxes as compared to the prior Contract Quarter.

(iii) CPI/ECI. Commencing on the first day of the * and on the first day of each * thereafter, C&S will increase or decrease the Stop Fee for both Facilities and C&S Facilities by an amount equal to * from the first day of *. The CPI Stop Fee Amount for Facilities and C&S Facilities will be agreed to as part of the Stop Fee calculation under Section 3.2(b)(ii). The increase or decrease in the CPI shall be *.

(iv) Driver Cost Increases. Commencing with the *, on the * following any increase in the labor and/or employee benefit costs with respect to the drivers delivering Merchandise from a Facility, the Stop Fee for Facilities will be adjusted to reflect * of the actual cost of any such increases. If A&P can demonstrate that any such driver cost increase is materially out of line with labor and employee benefits cost increases for truck drivers in the trucking industry in the Northeastern United States, then the parties will meet and in good faith determine whether * or some lower percentage is the fair and equitable percentage to use to adjust the Stop Fee. If there is a non-productivity related negotiated benefit that offsets a labor or employee benefit cost increase, then such negotiated benefit shall be factored into the determination of the cost increase used to adjust the Stop Fee. For example, if there is a wage increase, but a holiday is eliminated, then the cost benefit of the elimination of such holiday will be factored into the calculation of such wage increase. By way of further example, if there is an employee benefit cost increase, but eligibility requirements are changed, then the cost benefit of such eligibility requirements will be factored into the calculation of the employee benefit cost increase.

(v) Stop Fee Savings. Following October 2, 2005, A&P will receive * and C&S * of any Stop Fee Savings for Facilities and C&S Facilities resulting from A&P decreasing the number of stops.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(e) Notice/Backup. C&S will provide A&P with back-up documentation of any increase under Section 3 (c) or (d) and written notice prior to the implementation of any such change.

(f) *. If the contemplated * does not occur, then C&S and A&P will meet and in good faith mutually agree on terms and conditions for *.

3.3 *. C&S will credit * to A&P any * purchased under this Agreement. The initial * shall be no less than *. C&S will provide at least * prior notice of any change in Vendor’s * terms.

3.4 Restocking Fee. C&S will charge A&P a restocking fee of * for the return of all cases ordered in error by A&P. This fee will not apply to the return of any cases generated by C&S mispicks or other errors or returns from a new store or a major remodel within * of the store’s grand opening or reopening.

3.5 Cross-Dock. C&S will charge A&P a cross dock fee of * per case for cross-dock cases. If A&P commences cross-docking cases of a new DSD vendor C&S will charge A&P * per pallet for any such cross-docked pallets, provided that (i) the * fee is premised on there being an average of * cases per pallet and if there is not such average, then the parties shall in good faith adjust the * fee, and (ii) the Stop Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the increased transportation cost, if any, resulting from these additional cross-dock cases. If A&P converts selected cases to cross-dock, then C&S will charge A&P * per pallet for such cross-dock cases. If the mix of existing cross-dock Merchandise changes or the average cases per pallet changes, then parties will meet and good faith adjust the relevant fees set forth above. With respect to cross-dock pallets or totes that require breakdown, A&P and C&S will negotiate in good faith to determine an appropriate fee. The handling fee will be subject to adjustment for cases exceeding * cubic feet. Cross-dock product is not slotted in C&S facilities and C&S is not required to hold any cross-dock product more than *.

3.6 Cardboard Bales. For * per bale C&S will pick up A&P’s cardboard bales at A&P stores, transport them to a C&S Facility or Facility and load them on a trailer to be provided by A&P or a party designated by A&P. A&P shall promptly remove full trailer loads of bales from the applicable facility. Any costs incurred by C&S with respect to proper disposal or other disposition of the baled cardboard shall be the responsibility of A&P. A&P shall clearly mark its bales, e.g. with an A&P day glow sticker.

3.7 Volume Incentive. If for either the *, A&P’s purchases from C&S are more than * cases, then C&S shall pay to A&P a Volume Incentive (the “Volume Incentive”) equal to * per case for all case purchases for the applicable * in excess of *. The Volume Incentive calculated as set forth in this Section 3.7 for any * period shall be paid by C&S by the * following any such period.

3.8 Reduced Volume and Lost Profits Surcharge.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(a) If for either the *, A&P’s purchases from C&S are less than * cases, then A&P shall pay to C&S a Reduced Volume Surcharge (the “Reduced Volume Surcharge”) equal to * per case for all case purchases for the applicable * less than *.

(b) The Reduced Volume Surcharge calculated as set forth in this Section 3.8 for any * period shall be paid by A&P by the * after the end of any such period.

(c) As for all other purposes under this Agreement, volume under the Existing Supply Agreement shall be excluded from the calculations under this Section 3.8 and Section 3.7 (Volume Incentive). In addition, GM/HBC Merchandise, New Orleans Merchandise and cross-dock Merchandise shall be excluded from the calculations under this Section 3.8 and Section 3.7 (Volume Incentive).

3.9 Seasonal GM/HBC Storage. C&S will oversee the operation of seasonal GM/HBC storage and A&P shall be responsible for the cost of seasonal GM/HBC storage, including occupancy, transportation and warehousing, which costs A&P shall reasonably approve in advance.

Section 4. Implementation Committee.

4.1 Implementation Committee. The parties will form an implementation committee to oversee the implementation of this Agreement. The committee will establish the requisite information flow. It also will work to (i) foster efficient and timely communications and information sharing, (ii) to develop mutually beneficial operating efficiencies and savings, (iii) ensure that the actions of one party do not negatively impact the operations and/or profits of the other, (iv) monitor, adjust and/or create new key performance indicators (“KPIs”) and (v) identify items that could be added or subtracted for the parties’ mutual benefit.

4.2 Committee Priorities. Within the first six months following the date of this Agreement, the committee will work to develop mutually beneficial policies in the following areas: store order frequency; better programs with respect to packaging to reduce damages; pallet rounding; reduction in vendor lead times; ordering efficiencies; receiving efficiencies (store and warehouse); combined purchasing (cooperative purchasing opportunities in not for resale items); service level/fill rate; new items speed to shelf; inventory management; seasonal item management; manufacturer out of stock issues; ad underpulls and overpulls (future promotions and past performance); new store openings and remodels; and pallet exchange efficiencies.

Section 5. Additional Buying and Supply Provisions.

5.1 Deal Extensions. C&S will reflect all vendors' retail trade allowances * after the vendors’ last order date, except for the short coded items set forth on Schedule 5.1.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

5.2 Slow Movers. C&S is entitled to discontinue any A&P unique items that move less than *, unless A&P elects to pay a * cent per case surcharge on such items or allows C&S to deliver such items *. On or before the *, C&S shall provide A&P with a report indicating all A&P unique items that averaged less than * of movement. A&P shall have until the * to determine whether C&S may discontinue such items or whether A&P elects to pay the additional surcharge for such slow moving items.

5.3. New Items. C&S will work with vendors to make new items available for shipment to A&P at the earliest shipment date. If A&P provides C&S at least * notice of any new item, C&S will ship such new product within * of vendor’s first available ship date, subject to vendor availability of the product. Strategic items, as reasonably determined by A&P, shall be shipped on the vendor’s first available ship date, subject to vendor product availability.

5.4 Expedite. If C&S causes the shortage of any time sensitive items, such items will be expedited at no expense to A&P, provided that A&P shall pay additional costs for any shortages due to its error.

5.5 Standard Credit Policy. (a) With respect to the Facilities, the parties shall follow the standard credit policy set forth on Schedule 5.5(a), which is intended to mirror A&P’s current standard credit practices. With respect to any other C&S facilities, the parties shall follow the standard credit policy set forth on Schedule 5.5(b). The audit procedures to support the C&S facilities' policy are also set forth on Schedule 5.5(b). With respect to Facilities, C&S will, after taking into account credits that it has issued to the stores pursuant to its warehouse audits and store called-in credits and all other reserve adjustments, pay to or bill A&P the net shortage or gain in each warehouse, all as described on Schedule 5.5(c). A&P will continue to receive current swell allowances for product shipped from a Facility. C&S will receive all swell allowances on any vendor that switches to a swell allowance and will pass on to A&P * of such allowances received. C&S will receive all swell allowances for Merchandise shipped from a C&S Facility and will pass on to A&P * of such allowances received. If a vendor that switches to a swell allowance is a successor to an A&P swell vendor, then the parties will meet and in good faith agree on the proper allocation of the swell allowance from the successor vendor. C&S will primarily rely on the A&P Help Desk to issue credits because A&P is being billed for or paying the net shortages or gains. C&S shall maintain a level of security at the facilities serving A&P sufficient to mutually satisfy the parties that the Merchandise is being adequately protected, with the presumption that the relative level of security on the date hereof is sufficient for such purposes. C&S shall provide A&P with a reconciliation report of net shortages and gains in inventory within * of the end of each A&P accounting period.

(b) Other Customers. Following the commencement of shipment by

C&S to customers other than A&P from the Facilities, the parties will follow the standard credit policy attached as Schedule 5.5(b).

5.6 Discontinued/No Movement items. The parties will work together to

eliminate items that have no movement for *, including, without limitation working together to have the responsible manufacturer repurchase and remove such inventory. For any and all items that A&P discontinues or items that have no movement for * (excluding seasonal items that A&P represents it will sell the following year), C&S will provide A&P notice. Upon receipt of such notice, A&P will either provide for the vendor to remove and repurchase all such cases remaining in the warehouse or give C&S a distribution for such cases. In either event, such goods will be removed by vendor or store distribution within * of A&P’s receipt of notice. To minimize such inventory, A&P will give C&S advance notice of any discontinuance to avoid unnecessary ordering. Furthermore, if such item is not unique to A&P in the applicable facility, A&P will only be responsible for such discontinued items to the extent that such leftover inventory is A&P leftover ad product.

5.7 Ads. (a) A&P shall book all ads by facility for the first 18 months following the Commencement Date. Following such 18 month period A&P shall only be responsible for providing C&S with the aggregate number of cases per ad per item across all facilities supplying A&P. In addition, the parties will in good faith work on a feathering process to bring in ad product to each facility prior to the commencement of the ad. A&P shall provide to C&S distribution quantities for dry grocery by store for at least * of the product booked for a front page ad for C&S’ distribution prior to the commencement of the ad, provided that A&P will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide C&S distribution quantities of *. Prior to the end of the * Contract Year, A&P will strive to provide C&S distribution quantities for at least * of all ad product prior to the commencement of an ad. Left-over ad product may be sent back to the Facilities subject to Section 3.4. A&P will purchase left-over perishable ad product from C&S prior to such product being out-of-code, provided that if A&P is unable to so purchase, A&P will be responsible for the cost and disposition of such product. C&S and A&P will work together to minimize leftover ad product, including, continuing A&P’s practices of remerchandising items where possible, canceling trucks and having vendors pick-up leftover ad product. Left-over ad product in excess of * normal turn movement (as measured against the physical balance) shall be placed into the Reserve.

(b) A&P will be responsible for all fresh seafood, chicken and other poultry pre-orders and will purchase such items from C&S prior to the seafood or chickens being out-of-code, provided that if A&P is unable to so purchase, A&P will be responsible for the disposition of such product.

5.8 SKU’s. C&S shall not be obligated to carry more than * above the number of SKU’s per Facility than A&P carries as of the Effective Date absent the consent of C&S, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the maximum increase in SKU’s per Contract Year shall be no more than * of the number of SKU’s per Facility that A&P carried in the prior Contract Year. Schedule 5.8 sets forth the present number of A&P SKU’s by category and warehouse.

5.9 *. C&S will reflect to A&P the * subject to *.

5.10 *. If an item has *, then C&S will reflect the * on the *. If there is *, then C&S will *, provided that any such amount *.

5.11 Base Price and other Adjustments.

(a) To the extent that an income item formerly available to one party is eliminated but such program dollars are made available to the other party in another form, then the party benefited by such change will make the other party whole by an adjustment to the Base Price of such goods or other agreed to adjustment.

(b) Each party acknowledges that the other party has historically benefited from certain sources of income, including, but not limited to: Cross-Roads, warehouse slotting, retail store slotting, alternative source buying, and cash discounts. Furthermore, as of the date hereof, A&P earns a certain amount of trade funds, but also engages in certain activities that one may claim could impact trade funds, such as diverting or vendor compliance programs. Neither party will knowingly interfere with the other party’s programs. More specifically, no action by C&S that differs from A&P’s actions, be it, for example, C&S’ increasing the amount of diverting or vendor charges from A&P’s level, will negatively impact A&P’s current level of trade funds. A&P will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to both prevent a vendor from claiming that C&S’ programs interfere with A&P’s trade funds and to preserve C&S’ programs. As part of A&P’s efforts in this regard, on a case-by-case basis, A&P will include C&S in vendor meetings, and with all parties present, inform such vendor that it is the vendor’s issue to resolve with C&S and that in no way is the vendor to reduce A&P’s trade funds.

(c) The pricing provisions herein are based upon the parties’ mutual assumption that no fundamental changes will occur in the structuring or level of promotions or other factors affecting the wholesale cost of Merchandise. If the parties’ mutual assumptions cease to be true at any time during the Term, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on new, mutually acceptable pricing terms. It is A&P’s intention to continue to negotiate and structure deals that will lower A&P’s net cost of goods.

(d) Within * of the end of each Contract Quarter or as reasonably requested by a party, the most senior merchandising executive at C&S and the most senior merchandising executive at A&P will meet and review any instances where a party’s trade funding has decreased in the prior Contract Quarter. If a party can show that a decline in its funding on a vendor is due to a program of the other party that has resulted in an increase in such party’s trade funding from such vendor, then the benefited party will promptly meet with such vendor and attempt to determine what effect, if any, its increased trade funding had on the other party’s trade funding. If a program of a party has had a negative impact on the other party’s funding, then the benefited party will seek to cause such vendor to reverse such decline. If the benefited party is unsuccessful in causing the vendor to reverse the other party’s decline in trade funds, then A&P and C&S shall jointly meet with the applicable vendor and attempt to cause the vendor to reverse the decline. If such effort is unsuccessful, then the benefited party will either take such vendor off the program in its entirety, take the

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-13-

vendor off the program with respect to the other party or otherwise make up the decline in the other party’s trade funds. As part of the quarterly reconciliation between the A&P and C&S executives, the parties will provide each other with any information regarding the other party’s programs requested by a party, unless any such information is subject to a confidentiality obligation. Any dispute under this Section 5.11(d) that cannot be resolved by the merchandising executives shall be elevated to and settled by the Presidents of A&P and C&S prior to the end of the subsequent Contract Quarter.

5.12 *. Any * will be paid *.

Section 6. Billing and Payment.

6.1 * Statements. Each *, C&S shall electronically transmit to A&P, files (such files shall be referred to collectively as the “* Statement”) for all amounts owed (including purchases, fees, upcharges and credits) for the immediately preceding * (the “* Statement Amount”). There will be a Shipment File with all product charges to the stores; an Adjustment File with fees, upcharges, and credits; a Cost and Weight File for random weight product; and a Cost File for all other products. A separate Manual Charge file will be provided, which shall include special delivery and trailer fees and all other miscellaneous charges, by customer number and by invoice. The * Statement will be received on the * following the * such shipments were made.

6.2 Payment. Each *, A&P will make a wire transfer in the amount of * (adjusted as set forth below) with respect to purchases to be made on such * together with the purchases made on the immediately preceding *, * and *. Each *, A&P will make a second wire transfer in the amount of * with respect to purchases made on the immediately preceding * and to be made on * and *. A&P will adjust the payment to be made on the next succeeding * to reflect any overpayment or underpayment for the previous * purchases, based upon the statement rendered by C&S on *. Should the due date of A&P's payment fall on a date on which banks in New York are required to be closed, the due date shall be accelerated to the previous day that banks in New York may legally open. The parties acknowledge that the * figure used in this Section 6.2 is * of the projected * purchases, plus the projected fees and other charges under this Agreement for the first Contract Quarter. The parties agree that such figure shall be adjusted up or down from time to time (but no less than each Contract Quarter) to approximately * of the actual volume of * purchases then being made by A&P pursuant to this Agreement. If at any time A&P’s S&P corporate credit rating is * or above, then C&S will adjust A&P’s payment terms for a * payment of the * estimated * payment amount.

6.3 Miscellaneous Billing and Payment Matters. Time is of the essence. If any payment under Section 6.2 is in default, and A&P has failed to cure the default within * after receiving notice from C&S, then, subject to Section 14, C&S shall have the right (which rights shall be nonexclusive, cumulative of and additional to all other remedies) to defer further deliveries until all payments in default have been made or, if such payment is in default for more than * following notice from C&S, to terminate this Agreement. If A&P

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-14-

disputes any portion of a statement, absent manifest error, it shall nonetheless pay the full amount of the statement by the payment due date, without any deductions or offsets. A&P shall give C&S notice of any billing adjustments it believes should be made, and the parties shall attempt to reach agreement on any adjustments within *. If either party believes a billing adjustment should be made, it shall give notice to the other party and the parties shall attempt to reach agreement on any adjustments within * from the date notice is received. In the event an agreement cannot be reached on disputed adjustments within said *, the parties will settle the dispute pursuant to Section 31.

6.4 *. If A&P’s *, then A&P will immediately *. If following *, then the obligation of A&P *, provided that if A&P’s *, then A&P shall be obligated to * pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.4.

6.5 Review Rights. The parties will within * of the Effective Date develop a * price file reconciliation process in a format with sufficient detail as reasonably requested by A&P, whereby C&S will transmit to A&P all Base Price information on a * basis and A&P may review and comment on such information. A&P may also review C&S’ Base Price information as set forth in Section 15.

6.6 Third Party Deductions. From time to time, A&P may ask C&S, in

writing, to act as its agent to deduct amounts that are due from manufacturers to A&P. A&P must provide C&S with supporting documentation before C&S will process such deduction. C&S has the right, in its discretion, to refuse to honor any third party deduction request that A&P may make; provided that C&S shall use this right to refuse a deduction in a reasonable manner and shall discuss such with A&P, in advance, and work with A&P to resolve any of A&P’s concerns. If C&S makes a deduction on A&P’s behalf and the manufacturer disputes the deduction made by C&S, A&P agrees to indemnify, defend and hold C&S harmless from any claim by the manufacturer related to such deduction, provided that C&S will cooperate with A&P in the defense of any such claim. If after taking a deduction and paying the amount of such deduction to A&P, C&S repays any such deduction, A&P will, upon receipt of notice and supporting documentation from C&S, repay such amount to C&S. A&P will use its best efforts so that the supply of merchandise from manufacturers to C&S is not adversely affected solely by any third party deductions that C&S may take on A&P’s behalf. Service level shall not be adversely affected by an interruption in the supply of Merchandise from a manufacturer to C&S if the interruption is caused by the refusal of the manufacturer to ship product to C&S and such refusal is attributable to a disputed deduction that C&S has taken on A&P’s behalf at A&P’s direction. C&S will add to each deduction from a vendor a fee to process the deduction made by C&S on A&P’s behalf; such processing fee shall be (i) * for deductions equal to or less than * and (ii) * for deductions in excess of *.

Section 7. Reserve System. The parties have established the reserve system described below (the “Reserve”).

7.1 Designated Reserve Product. Promptly following receipt of notice from A&P that it wishes C&S to acquire specified product to be held in reserve for forward buy,

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-15-

C&S will purchase such product and hold it in reserve for A&P at the Reserve Price which is established when the product is purchased by C&S. If A&P requests that C&S buy more than a * supply of private label product, the amount in excess of * will be added into the Reserve unless A&P’s order on such product is in excess of * in order to meet the vendor’s minimum order size and is consistent with past practice. In addition, leftover ad product covered under Section 5.7 and leftover seasonal items (such as Halloween candy) that will have no or minimal movement until the commencement of the next season for such item shall be added to the Reserve. The amount of forward buy product shall be an economically rational amount based on A&P’s normal * movement. C&S shall bill A&P the Reserve Price of all such reserve product described in this Section 7.1 with such charges to appear on *.

7.2 Delivery Out of Reserve. Every * C&S shall provide a report detailing all product held in reserve for A&P. It is A&P’s obligation to take delivery of all reserve product from C&S before such product is out-of-code.

7.3 Limitation on Reserve. The Reserve shall not exceed * cases of grocery Merchandise composed of a mix of product reflective of past sales of Merchandise under this Agreement (collectively, the “Reserve Limit”). A&P will not forward buy on fixed fund or straight line accrual vendors.

7.4 Reserve Charges. From time to time, C&S may, in its sole discretion, consent to the number of cases in the Reserve to exceed the Reserve Limit. In such an event, A&P will pay C&S a Reserve Charge equal to * for each case of product in excess of the Reserve Limit that is held as of the *. All Reserve Charges will be calculated each * after the last morning billing has been run and before the first afternoon billing has been run, and shall be billed to and paid by A&P in accordance with Section 3. Reserve Charges are in addition to, and not in lieu of, Upcharges and other fees and charges described in Section 3.

7.5. Allocation of Reserve. The Reserve Limit shall be allocated among the facilities based on available space at each facility supplying A&P and a particular facility’s percentage of the overall volume under this Agreement.

Section 8. Delivery

8.1 Requirement. Delivery frequencies shall be as set forth on the Delivery Schedule, which shall be mutually agreed to by the parties and be attached hereto as Schedule 8.1. C&S will communicate to A&P and the stores via e-mail the estimated time of arrival. A delivery shall be considered on time if it is within the delivery window set forth on the Delivery Schedule as amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that a delivery shall not be considered late if a delay is caused by A&P, adverse weather (i.e., ice and snow), or an event of force majeure. If C&S is late to the first stop, it shall communicate revised ETA’s to the subsequent stops. A&P will provide a list of stores with municipal and/or lease restrictions as of the Commencement Date. C&S is responsible for meeting all municipal and/or lease restrictions unless such failure is caused by A&P or an event of force majeure, and C&S shall hold A&P harmless from any damages caused by

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-16-

such C&S failure. In the event that A&P receives a notice of default under a lease arising out of the delivery(s) of C&S, A&P will provide C&S with a copy of same and C&S will use its best efforts to immediately cure such default and provide A&P with documentation thereof so A&P may provide same to its landlord. C&S will provide A&P with routing information prior to a delivery’s departure from the C&S facility. The parties acknowledge that the higher the cube utilization, the lower the transportation fees per case. Consequently, the parties will work together and adjust delivery schedules wherever reasonable and practical so as to have full truckloads.

8.2 The Delivery and Service Levels are as follows:

Contract Quarter	“Target Level”	“Required/Penalty Level”	“Termination Level”
1^st Contract Quarter	*	N/A	N/A
2^nd Contract Quarter	*	*	*
Thereafter	*	*	*

8.3 Delivery Schedule Violation. If, for any reason other than a delay caused by A&P or an event of force majeure, C&S fails to deliver at least the Required/Penalty Level of all deliveries on time in accordance with the Delivery Schedule for deliveries scheduled to be made during a Measurement Period, then such failure shall be a “Delivery Schedule Violation.” Each four-week period will be a “Measurement Period” and there will be 13 Measurement Periods each Contract Year.

8.4 Delivery Penalty. Should A&P believe that a Delivery Schedule Violation has occurred, A&P shall give notice to C&S and C&S shall use its best efforts to immediately restore the Required Service Level. Following such notice, upon a Delivery Schedule Violation, A&P will be entitled to a penalty payment equal to * per load for all unexcused late loads below the Required/Penalty Level for such Measurement Period (the “Penalty Payment”). C&S will pay the Penalty Payment within * of the end of the applicable Measurement Period. This penalty will not apply for the * Contract Quarter.

8.5 Delivery Termination. If the Delivery Service Level is below the Termination Level for * consecutive Measurement Periods, A&P may terminate the Agreement, provided that it has provided Timely Notice of Termination. Timely Notice of Termination shall mean written notice provided to C&S by A&P anytime within * of the expiration of the * Measurement Period. If, after receipt of a Timely Notice of Termination, C&S does not achieve at least the Termination Level in the * Measurement Period, then, as set forth in the Notice of Termination, the entire Agreement will terminate * following the end of the * Measurement Period. Should A&P give late Timely Notice of Termination, the time periods for cure, including extension into subsequent consecutive Measurement Periods, shall be extended accordingly. Following an event under this Section 8.5 that gives rise to a right of termination by A&P, A&P may request that only a portion of this Agreement be terminated. Following such request C&S will promptly meet with A&P and the parties will in

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-17-

good faith amend this Agreement to both parties’ mutual satisfaction to accommodate A&P’s request.

8.6 Service Level Adjustments. The operating committee will from time to time review and, if appropriate, adjust the Delivery and Service levels and calculations set forth in Sections 8.2 and 9.1, based on actual operational experience and changes in service requirements taking into account the parties’ performance, technological advances and capabilities and the type of items that C&S is supplying.

8.7 Serious Late Delivery Penalty. If a C&S delivery is more than * late, then, to the extent such delay was not due to A&P (including, but not limited to, delay at the first stop or a transmission delay) or an event of Force Majeure, such late delivery shall be considered a Serious Late Delivery. Upon a Serious Late Delivery, A&P may bill C&S * for a delivery that is between * late and * for a delivery that is more than * late. The payment for this penalty will be received by A&P as a credit on the billing statement the * after it has been levied.

8.8 Drop Trailers. C&S will continue A&P’s present practices with respect to providing drop trailers to the A&P Stores, provided that if there is a material increase in drop trailers, the parties shall meet and in good faith come up with a fee for the incremental trailers. In addition, C&S will provide (i) a trailer within * of a store’s request when necessary as a result of an emergency and (ii) a trailer on a non-emergency basis within * of a store’s request. A&P will provide C&S, with as close as reasonably possible, * advance notice of trailers A&P will require for seasonal purposes and C&S will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, at A&P’s expense, such trailers. The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing time frames do not cover emergencies or catastrophes affecting * or more A&P stores and in such a case C&S will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide A&P with as many trailers as requested by A&P as quickly as possible.

8.9 Trailer Advertising. A&P may, at A&P’s expense, place A&P logos and signage on up to * of the C&S trailers delivering Merchandise from the Facilities or the New Orleans facility, provided that if there is a significant shift of volume out of the Facilities, then the parties shall meet and in good faith agree on a method of advertising that will not diminish the number of trailers with advertising as compared with the number prior to such shift in volume.

8.10 Perishables. The general method for shipping meat, dairy and produce Merchandise shall be to ship these categories on the same truck.

Section 9. Service Level.

9.1 Service Level Requirement. The parties’ mutual objective is to maintain the Target Levels set forth in Section 8.2. In computing the Service Level the numerator shall be the number of cases shipped, and the denominator shall be the number of cases ordered, less unauthorized cases, discontinued, and documented manufacturer’s

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-18-

out-of-stocks. An item will qualify as a manufacturer out of stock if the manufacturer provides written proof of such status to C&S or if the manufacturer consecutively scratches such item *. Ad overpulls will not be factored into the calculation of service levels, provided that (i) C&S receives A&P’s ad projection * in advance of each ad, (ii) C&S is provided with the retail and ad placement of the ad and the ad layout, and (iii) the ad distribution is no more than * above A&P’s aggregate ad projection. If A&P materially changes its promotional advertising strategy in a manner that adversely impacts C&S’s ability to meet Service Levels, then the immediately prior sentence shall not apply for * following such change, provided that during such * period, A&P shall use its best efforts to provide C&S with accurate ad forecasting. Prior to the Commencement Date, A&P will provide C&S with * of A&P ad movement data.

9.2 Service Level Violation. If, for any reason other than due to an act or omission by A&P, a documented vendor issue, adverse weather (i.e. ice and snow), or an event of force majeure, C&S fails to maintain a Service Level of at least the Required/Penalty Level for the Measurement Period, then such failure shall be a “Service Level Violation.” The Required/Penalty Level may be adjusted in accordance with Section 8.6.

9.3 Service Level Penalty. Should A&P believe that a Service Level Violation has occurred, A&P shall give notice to C&S and C&S shall use its best efforts to immediately restore the Required Service Level. Following such notice, upon a Service Level Violation, A&P will be entitled to a penalty payment equal to: (i) the difference between the Required/Penalty Level and the average actual service level percentage during the Measurement Period, multiplied by (ii) the number of cases delivered during such Measurement Period, multiplied by (iii) * (the “Service Penalty Payment”); provided, that before any penalty is assessed the parties will meet to discuss the cause for such Service Level failure, what can be done to prevent future failure, and to determine, given the reasons for such failure, whether or not a penalty should be charged. Once it has been determined that the charge is appropriate, A&P will bill C&S for any such penalty and C&S will pay such bill within *. This penalty will not apply for the first Contract Quarter. In addition, during the period of any Service Level Violation, A&P may purchase from other sources Merchandise that is causing the Service Level to fall below the Required Service Level and any such purchases shall nonetheless be included as volume purchased under this Agreement.

9.4 Service Level Termination. If the Service Level is below the Termination Level for * consecutive Measurement Periods, A&P may terminate the Agreement, provided that it has provided Timely Notice of Termination. Timely Notice of Termination shall mean written notice provided to C&S by A&P anytime within * of the expiration of the * Measurement Period. If, after receipt of a Timely Notice of Termination, C&S does not achieve at least the Termination Level in the * Measurement Period, then, as set forth in the Notice of Termination, the Agreement will terminate * following the end of the * Measurement Period. Should A&P give late Timely Notice of Termination, the time periods for cure, including extension into subsequent consecutive Measurement Periods, shall be extended accordingly. Following an event under this Section 9.4 that gives rise to a right of termination by A&P, A&P may request that only a portion of this Agreement be terminated.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-19-

Following such request C&S will promptly meet with A&P and the parties will in good faith amend this Agreement to both parties’ mutual satisfaction to accommodate A&P’s request.

Section 10. Transmission Delays. Just as C&S delivery delays can cause expense for A&P, delays in A&P’s order transmissions (store polling) can cause severe expenses for C&S. C&S will report * A&P’s on-time and late transmission delays. The parties will meet to fix any such problems and ensure that they are not repeated. If delays continue to occur, then the parties will meet to determine how C&S will be kept whole.

Section 11. Pallet Exchange. C&S will primarily select and ship product on plastic pallets. C&S will record the number and type of shipped pallets on each manifest and collect all such pallets at A&P’s warehouse or stores each *; provided that the operating committee will analyze the feasibility and cost of an at store pallet exchange program. C&S will track pallets delivered and returned by type of pallet and report such numbers to A&P each *. At the end of each *, C&S will bill A&P for any shortfall in returned pallets at C&S’ cost (currently * per plastic pallet and * for CHEP pallets). A&P may pay any such shortfall in cash or in kind. At the * of the first quarter, the operating committee shall reasonably determine the amount of pallets in A&P’s system that will be returned the * following the * of the first quarter and this amount shall be factored into any amount owing by A&P.

Section 12. Liaison. Two additional full-time employees of C&S for this Agreement will be located at A&P’s designated headquarters to provide on-site service solely for A&P for all business between the parties. The key responsibilities of the liaison are set forth on the job description attached as Schedule 12.

Section 13. Reclamation Program. A&P will participate in C&S' reclamation program for all of its stores. C&S will assume A&P's rights and obligation as the Customer under A&P’s contract (the “Carolina Agreement”) with Carolina Logistics Services ("CLS") and live up to all terms and conditions of the contract. The CLS contract is attached hereto as Schedule 13. C&S will provide to A&P substantially the same services, including but not limited to reports, salvage income and directed charitable gifts, as are being provided by CLS. A&P has provided to C&S its calculation of income derived from reclamation and C&S will make A&P whole, including providing A&P with its current level of chute and salvage income. The parties will also work together to drive additional benefits throughout the term of the agreement. C&S will use Carolina to produce the reports and provide the services that they are providing to meet A&P's business requirements and C&S will continue to do so until it can produce the same reports and can deliver the same services (or their substantial equivalents) to A&P’s reasonable satisfaction. A&P will make every effort to support the transfer of its reclamation program to C&S in a reasonable timeframe, provided such transfer does not expose A&P to any claims, charges or obligations under the Carolina Agreement.

Section 14. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the performance of the affected party shall be excused to the extent (but only to the extent) it is delayed, hindered or prevented by the following events: the business operations of either C&S or A&P are interrupted by reason of riots, insurrection, war, acts of terrorism, acts of

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

-20-

God, or if beyond the reasonable control of C&S or A&P producers or manufacturers establish allocations or restrictions on quantities of supplies available to C&S. In the event of a Force Majeure, the party whose performance is affected will promptly notify the other party of such event and the steps that the affected party is taking to mitigate such event.

Section 15. Verification. A&P shall have the right to audit C&S’ records in order to confirm that the Base Price charged to A&P during the six month period covered by the audit is in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement. Such audits will be conducted at C&S’ premises and will be limited to two in any twelve month period and be limited to the six month period immediately preceding the audit. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event that a discrepancy is discovered by an audit during the six months covered by such audit, then the audit may include prior periods but only to verify that the same discrepancy had not occurred during such prior periods, provided, however, if a material issue is detected then such issue will be addressed. Unless any significant discrepancies are found, each such audit shall be completed in fifteen working days. As is the customary practice, C&S will continue to produce reports and price verifications traditionally supplied to A&P and such other information and reports as are reasonably requested or needed by A&P to have the full transparency upon which this Agreement is premised. The parties' mutual objective is to identify and resolve any errors promptly after they occur rather than to rely upon the audit procedure to identify errors.

Section 16. Financial Reports. C&S shall provide A&P with an audited Financial Statement including the comparative balance sheets, statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows prepared by C&S's independent certified public accountants, not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of C&S.

Section 17. Operations. C&S shall conduct all operations required of it hereunder in conformance with the standards set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration from time to time and at a level of sanitation at least equal to that required by the Federal Food and Drug Administration or any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over merchandise and other facilities utilized by C&S in the performance of this Agreement. In addition, prior to commencement of supply and periodically during the term, the parties will review and mutually agree on recall procedures with respect to the merchandise covered by this Agreement, which procedures shall be substantially in accordance with A&P’s recall procedures.

Section 18. Insurance. C&S agrees to maintain and cause to be maintained, at its own cost and expense, the following policies of insurance from insurance companies duly authorized to do business in New York and the other jurisdictions covered by this Agreement.

18.1 Casualty Insurance. Casualty insurance providing all risk coverage with limits not less than the full insurable value of the warehouses from which C&S is serving A&P hereunder ("C&S Premises", whether Facilities or C&S Facilities) and all of the goods and merchandise held or to be held therein.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

18.2 Comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. Comprehensive public liability insurance, including products liability and contractual liability coverage, with limits of liability of not less than $5,000,000 for property damage, personal injury and bodily injury. The products liability coverage shall be continued in effect for not less than two (2) years after delivery of the product.

Section 26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and may be amended only by written instrument executed by both parties or their respective successors or permitted assigns. The Existing Supply Agreement is a separate and independent agreement. On the date hereof the parties are executing an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) which covers, among other things, C&S’s acquisition of the effected warehousing and distribution business of A&P. The Asset Purchase Agreement is an essential material condition to this Agreement and hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

Section 27. Waiver. No claim or right arising out of the breach of this Agreement can be discharged in whole or in part by waiver or renunciation of a claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is supported by consideration and is in writing and signed by the aggrieved party. Waiver by either party of a breach by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or future compliance with all provisions hereunder, and all such provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of either party to enforce any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right hereunder.

Section 28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to do so and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 29. Authority. Each individual signing this Agreement hereby represents and warrants that he has the full corporate power and authority to do so and thereby bind the corporation on whose behalf the individual has signed the Agreement.

Section 30. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. If any provision, clause or part, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision, clause or part shall not be affected thereby.

Section 31. Dispute Resolution.

The arbitrators shall consist of one party representative selected by A&P, one party representative selected by C&S and one neutral representative selected jointly by the first two arbitrators. The party arbitrators shall be selected within * after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, and the neutral arbitrator shall be selected within * of the appointment of the last party arbitrator. The parties agree that the arbitrators’ Award shall be duly made in writing within * after the hearings in the arbitration proceedings are closed, and that an Award agreed upon by any two of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive on all of the parties to this Agreement.
