                      SPLIT DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is made effective on July 6, 1998, between SUPERVALU INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), MICHAEL W. WRIGHT (the "Employee"),
and PHILLIP H. MARTIN and THOMAS 0. MOE, as Trustees of the MICHAEL W. WRIGHT
1997 GST FAMILY TRUST under Irrevocable Trust Agreement dated December 9, 1997,
with Michael W. Wright, as Donor, and not individually, (the "Owner"').

                                    Recitals:

     A. The Employee is currently employed by the Corporation as Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President.

     B. The Employee wishes to provide life insurance protection for his family,
under a policy of life insurance, insuring his life and the life of his wife,
Judith M. Wright (collectively the "Insureds" and individually an "Insured").

     C. The Owner owns a policy of life insurance (the "Policy") on the
Insureds, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto. The insurance company issuing
the Policy is referred to as the "Insurer."

     D. The Employee wishes to be assured that the premiums on the Policy will
be paid both presently and in the future, including such time after his
retirement from active service with the Corporation, or other termination of his
employment.

     D. The Corporation is willing to assist the Owner in the payment of
premiums for the Policy as provided in this Agreement both presently and in the
<PAGE>

future, including such time after the Employee's retirement from active service
with the Corporation, or other termination of his employment, in recognition of
the valuable services heretofore performed for it by the Employee, in
consideration of the Employee's acceptance of a reduced benefit under the
Corporation's Enhanced SERP and as encouragement for his continued employment.

     E. The Owner is the owner of the policy and, as such, possesses all
incidents of ownership in and to the Policy.

     F. The Corporation wishes to have the Policy collaterally assigned to it by
the Owner to secure the repayment of the amounts which it will pay toward the
premiums on the Policy.

     G. The parties intend that by such collateral assignment the Corporation
shall receive only the right to such repayment, with the Owner retaining all
other ownership rights in the Policy, as specified herein.

     H. The parties intend this agreement to constitute a plan of split dollar
life insurance under Revenue Ruling 64-328, 1964-2 C.B. 11, as amplified by
Revenue Ruling 66-110, 1966-1 C.B. 12, Revenue Ruling 67-154, 1967-1 C.B. 11,
and Revenue Ruling 79-50, 1979-1 C.B. 138.

     THEREFORE, for value received, the parties agree:

1. Premium Payments and Employee's Agreement. It is anticipated that the annual
aggregate premium payments on the Policy will be approximately $657,000 payable
over seven years. Until this Agreement is terminated, the Corporation or its
successors and the Owner shall make payments as provided in this section.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          a. Owner's Payments. Each year the Owner shall contribute to the
     Corporation an amount equal to the annual economic benefit that would be
     taxable as gross income to the Insureds for federal income tax purposes
     with respect to the Policy but for the payment by the Owner of that amount.
     For this purpose, the annual economic benefit shall be computed in
     accordance with Revenue Ruling 64-328, 1964-2 C.B. 11, as amplified by
     Revenue Ruling 66-110, 1966-1 C.B. 12, Revenue Ruling 67-154, 1967-1 C.B.
     11, and Revenue Ruling 79-50, 1979-1 C.B. 138. The Corporation shall be
     responsible for computing, or obtaining the computation of, the annual
     economic benefit amount with respect to the Policy, and will advise the
     Owner of the amounts payable by the Owner.

          b. Corporation's Payments and Corporation's Interest in Policy. In
     consideration for past services and the desire to encourage the employee to
     remain in its employ, the Corporation shall timely pay all premiums on the
     Policy. The Corporation shall also pay to the Insureds, as additional
     compensation to the Employee for past services, regardless of whether the
     Employee is otherwise employed by the Corporation, an amount equal to the
     Owner's contribution to the Corporation as computed under Section La.
     increased by that amount equal to the Insureds' additional income tax
     liability attributable to the payment of such additional compensation by
     the Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Corporation's
     Interest" in the Policy is the amount equal to (I) the total premiums paid
     by the Corporation on the Policy from the date of this Agreement to the
     date as

                                       3
<PAGE>

of which the Corporation's Interest is being determined, minus (II) the amount
contributed by the Owner pursuant to Section 1.a.

          c. Employee's Agreement. In consideration of the Corporation's
     Payments as set forth under Section 1.b., the Employee hereby agrees that,
     so long as the Employee remains in the active employ of the Corporation,
     the Employee will devote substantially all of his time, skill, diligence
     and attention to the business of the Corporation, and will not actively
     engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business or other activity
     which is or may be deemed to be in any way competitive with or adverse to
     the best interests of the corporation.

2. 0wnership of the Policy. The Owner is the sole owner and beneficiary of the
Policy. In consideration of the Corporation's payment of premiums as provided in
Section 1.b., and as collateral security for the payment of the Corporation's
Interest in the Policy, as provided in Section 1.b., the Owner hereby
collaterally assigns the Policy to the Corporation. To evidence that collateral
assignment, the Owner and the Corporation shall execute and file with the
Insurer a Collateral Assignment of Policy in the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the parties and to the
Insurer. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Collateral
Assignment, as between the Corporation and the Owner, the terms of this
Agreement shall control. The parties agree that benefits under the Policy may be
paid by the Insurer either by separate checks to the Corporation and Owner, or
by a joint check. In the latter instance, the Owner and

                                       4
<PAGE>

the Corporation agree that the benefits shall be divided as provided in this
Agreement.

3. Policy Roll-Out. It is the understanding of all parties that the increases in
the cash value of the Policy will eventually be sufficient to maintain the
policy in effect without the payment of any additional premiums on the Policy.
After such time as the cash value of the Policy is sufficient to pay the
Corporation's Interest while continuing the policy in effect on the lives of the
Insureds without the payment of any additional premiums on the Policy as
reasonably determined by an actuary mutually acceptable to the Corporation and
the Owner, the cash value in the Policy equal to the Corporation's Interest
shall be paid to the Corporation (the "Policy Roll-Out"). It is anticipated that
the Policy Roll-Out will occur at approximately the Policy anniversary date in
2013.

4. Termination of this Agreement.

     a. Events of Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as to the Policy
upon the happening of any of the following events:

          i. Full payment to the Corporation of the Corporation's Interest in
     the Policy, whether under the Policy Roll-Out set forth in Section 3 or
     otherwise; or

          ii. Death of the second to die of the Insureds.

Under no circumstances shall this Agreement terminate solely by reason of the
Employee ceasing to be employed by the Corporation.

     b. Rights Upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement:

          i. The obligation of the Corporation to pay premiums on the Policy
     shall cease; and

                                       5
<PAGE>

          ii. If this Agreement terminates under Item ii. of Section 4.a., the
     Corporation shall receive, out of the death proceeds of the Policy, or out
     of other assets of the Owner at the option of the Owner, an amount equal to
     the Corporation's Interest in the Policy, and the balance of the death
     proceeds shall be payable to the beneficiary designated by the Owner.

          iii. Upon the full payment to the Corporation of an amount equal to
     the Corporation"s Interest in the Policy, the Corporation shall release the
     Collateral Assignment provided for in Section 2 with respect to the Policy.

          iv. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event
     that, for any reason whatsoever, no death benefit is payable under the
     Policy upon the death of the Employee and in lieu thereof the Insured
     refunds all or any part of the premiums for the Policy, the Corporation and
     the Owner shall have the unqualified right to share in such refunded
     premiums based on the respective cumulative contributions thereto under
     Section 1.

5. Limitation on Owner's Rights in Policy. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Owner shall not sell, assign, transfer, borrow against, surrender or cancel
the Policy or change the investment elections or options under the Policy,
without, in any such case, the express written consent of the Corporation.

6. The Insurer. The Insurer shall only be bound by the provisions of the Policy
issued by the Insurer. Any payments made or actions taken by the Insurer in
accordance with the Policy issued by it shall fully discharge the Insurer from
liability.

7. Assignment. The Owner may not assign the Owner's rights and obligations under
this Agreement without the consent of the Corporation, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation may assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement only to the Owner or the Owner's nominee, or to .any other
assignee with the written consent of the Owner. If a party assigns all of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with this section,
then the assignee shall be substituted for the assignor as a party under this
Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors to the Corporation.

under this Agreement. The named fiduciary shall have the authority to control

contained in this Section shall continue in full force and effect despite the
expiration, rescission or termination of this Agreement.

     a. Mediation. Neither party shall commence an arbitration proceeding
pursuant to the provisions set forth below unless such party shall first give a
written notice (a "Dispute Notice") to the other party setting forth the nature
of the Dispute. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute

<PAGE>

such rules as may be agreed upon by the parties, or failing agreement within 30
days after arbitration is demanded, in accordance with the Commercial

judicial precedent which would apply if the Dispute were decided by a United
States District Judge, and the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to render
an award which is inconsistent therewith. The award shall be in writing and
include the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which it is based.

     Unless the parties agree otherwise, discovery will be limited to an
exchange of directly relevant documents. Depositions will not be taken except as

<PAGE>

Minnesota without regard to conflicts-of-law rules, and by the arbitration law
of the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code). Judgment upon the award
rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the application by either party to a court for an order
confirming, modifying or vacating the award, the court shall have the power to
review whether, as a matter of law based on the findings of fact determined by
the arbitrator(s), the award should be confirmed, modified or vacated in order
to correct any errors of law made by the arbitrator(s). In order to effectuate
such judicial review limited to issues of law, the parties agree (and shall
stipulate to the court) that the findings of fact made by the arbitrator(s)
shall be final and binding on the parties and shall serve as the facts to be
submitted to and relied upon by the court in determining the extent to which the
award should be confirmed, modified or vacated.

     Except as otherwise required by law, the parties and the arbitrator(s)
agree to keep confidential and not disclose to third parties any information or
documents obtained in connection with the arbitration process, including the
resolution of the Dispute. If either party fails to proceed with arbitration as
provided in this Agreement, or unsuccessfully seeks to stay the arbitration, or
fails to comply with the arbitration award, or is unsuccessful in vacating or
modifying the award

                                       12
<PAGE>

pursuant to a petition or application for judicial review, the other party shall
be entitled to be awarded costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, paid or
incurred in successfully compelling such arbitration or defending against the
attempt to stay, vacate or modify such arbitration award and/or successfully
defending or enforcing the award.

     C. Remedies. Each party hereby waives any and all rights it may have to
receive exemplary or punitive damages with respect to any claim it may have
against the other party, it being agreed that no party shall be entitled to
receive money damages in excess of its actual compensatory damages,
notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement or otherwise.

                         COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF POLICY

in and to life insurance policy number 57 386 955 (the "Policy") issued by The

connection therewith) and to all superior liens, if any, which the Insurer may
have against the Policy.

     2. The Assignor and Assignee expressly agree that only the following
specific rights are included in this Assignment and may be exercised solely by
the Assignee:

          (a) The right to receive, upon the surrender of the Policy by the
     Assignor, an amount of the cash surrender proceeds equal to the amount of
     the Assignee's Interest in the Policy; and

          (b) The right to receive, upon the death of the second to die of the

the rights of the Assignee under the Agreement, the existence of any default
thereunder, the giving of any notice, or the application to be made by the
Assignee of any proceeds paid by the Insurer to the Assignee pursuant to this
Collateral Assignment, and the sole signature of the Assignee shall be
sufficient for the exercise of any rights under the Policy assigned hereby, and
the sole receipt of the Assignee for any sums received by it shall be a full
discharge and release therefor to the Insurer.

     7. This Assignment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which

                         COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF POLICY

     THIS ASSIGNMENT is made effective on July 6, 1998, by PHILLIP H. MARTIN and
THOMAS 0. MOE, as Trustees of the MICHAEL W. WRIGHT 1997 GST FAMILY TRUST under
Irrevocable Trust Agreement dated December 9, 1997, with Michael W. Wright as
Donor (Ibe "Owner"), as Assignor, to SUPERVALU INC., a Delaware corporation, as
Assignee.

     1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Assignor hereby collaterally assigns to
Assignee, its successors and assigns, to the extent of the amounts defined in
and owing from time to time to the Assignee as the Corporation's Interest under
the terms of that certain Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement dated July 6,
1998 (the "Agreement"), between Assignor and Assignee (the "Assignee's
Interest"), a copy of which is attached hereto, all right, title, and interest
in and to life insurance policy number 57 386 955 (the "Policy") issued by The
Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of America (the "Insurer") on the lives of
Michael W. Wright and Judith M. Wright (the "Insureds"), subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Policy (and any supplementary contracts issued in
connection therewith) and to all superior liens, if any, which the Insurer may
have against the Policy.

     2. The Assignor and Assignee expressly agree that only the following
specific rights are included in this Assignment and may be exercised solely by
the Assignee:

          (a) The right to receive, upon the surrender of the Policy by the
     Assignor, an amount of the cash surrender proceeds equal to the amount of
     the Assignee's Interest in the Policy; and

          (b) The right to receive, upon the death of the second to die of the
     Insureds, an amount of the net proceeds of the Policy equal to the amount
     of the Assignee's Interest in the Policy.

     3. The Assignee is prohibited from assigning its interest to anyone other
than as provided in the Agreement.

     4. Except as specifically granted herein or as provided in the Agreement,
the Owner shall retain all incidents of ownership in the Policy.

     5. The Assignee shall, upon request of the Assignor, forward the Policy to
the Insurer, without unreasonable delay, for endorsement of any designation or
change of beneficiary, any election of optional mode of settlement, or the
exercise of any other right reserved by the Assignor, in all cases consistent
with the Agreement.

     6. The Insurer shall be bound only by the provisions of, and endorsements
to, the Policy. The Insurer is not a party to the Agreement, and the Agreement
is not incorporated by reference into this Collateral Assignment other than as
to the payment provisions in section 4 of the Agreement and as specifically
provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement and this
Collateral Assignment, then as to the Insurer, the provisions of this Collateral
Assignment shall control. The Insurer is hereby authorized to recognize the
Assignee's claim to rights hereunder without investigating the reason for any
action taken by the Assignee, the validity or amount of any of the rights of
the Assignee under the Agreement, the existence of any default thereunder, the
giving of any notice, or the application to be made by the Assignee of any
proceeds paid by the Insurer to the Assignee pursuant to this Collateral
Assignment, and the sole signature of the Assignee shall be sufficient for the
exercise of any rights under the Policy assigned hereby, and the sole receipt of
the Assignee for any sums received by it shall be a full discharge and release
therefor to the Insurer.

     7. This Assignment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one
instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Assignor and Assignee have signed this Collateral
Assignment as of the date first written above.
