 Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

  This Indemnification Agreement, made and entered into as of the __ day of ______, 2005 (“Agreement”), by and between The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Company”), and ______________________ (“Indemnitee”):

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities.  Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions.  At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in
service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the business enterprise itself;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the charter of the Company (the “Charter”) and the by-laws of the Company (the “By-Laws”) and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;

WHEREAS,
      Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”)
      expressly recognizes that the indemnification provisions of such section
      are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification
      may be entitled under the Charter, the By-Laws, a resolution of stockholders
    or directors, any agreement or otherwise;

  
    -2-    

  

  WHEREAS, the indemnification provisions of the Charter and By-Laws
  are nonexclusive and, therefore, contemplate that contracts may be entered
  into with respect to indemnification of directors, officers, employees and
agents;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee, intending to be legally bound, do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 Section 1.        Services
  by Indemnitee.

Indemnitee agrees
    to serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and/or
    any of its subsidiaries and may serve,
  at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee and/or agent
  of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
  or other enterprise (a “Relevant Enterprise”).  Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position.  This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its
  subsidiaries) and Indemnitee.  Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), if any, is “at will,” and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, under applicable law, by the relevant company’s
  charter or by-laws (or other relevant organizational documents). The foregoing
  notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee has
  ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent, as the case may
  be, of the Company and its subsidiaries or of a Relevant Enterprise.

 Section 2.       Indemnification – General.

The Company, without duplication, shall indemnify, and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time.  The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement.

 -3- 

  	Section 3.	Proceedings
            Other Than Proceedings by or in the 

            Right of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), he or she is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.  Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with
such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

  	Section 4.	 Proceedings by or in the Right of the

        Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of
        indemnification provided in this Section 4 if, by reason of his or her
        Corporate Status, he
      or she is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any
      Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries
      to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee
      shall be indemnified against all Expenses (including all interest, assessments
      and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
      Expenses), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
      and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection
      with such Proceeding, unless it is established that (a) the act or omission
      of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to such a Proceeding
      and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate
      dishonesty or (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit
      in money, property or services. Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
      in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which
      he or she was adjudged liable to the Company, except as provided in Section
      5 of this Agreement.

  	Section 5.	 Court-Ordered Indemnification.

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

  -4-

    (a)      if
      it determines Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under the MGCL,
      the court may order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be
      entitled
      to recover, among other amounts, the expenses of securing such indemnification;
  or

   (b)      if it determines that Indemnitee is fairly
      and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
      circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct
      set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable
      for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the
      MGCL, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem
      proper. However, indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in
      the right of the Company or in which liability shall have been adjudged
      in the circumstances described in Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, shall be
  limited to Expenses.

  	Section 6.	Partial Indemnification.

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify, without duplication, Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his
    or her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such
    Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify, without duplication, Indemnitee for the portion to which Indemnitee is entitled.

  	Section 7.	Indemnification for Additional Expenses.

(a)      The Company shall indemnify, without duplication,
      Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee,
      shall (within seven (7) business days of such request) advance such Expenses
      to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
      action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment
      of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement,
      the Charter or the By-Laws now or hereafter in effect; or (ii) recovery
      under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
      maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately
      is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment
  or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

    -5-

 (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision
    of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or
    her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is
    not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually
    and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection
therewith.

  	Section 8.	 Advancement of Expenses.

  The Company shall advance, without
    duplication, all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
    in connection with any Proceeding within seven (7) days after the receipt
    by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such
    advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition
    of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence
    the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied
    by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief
    that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company
    as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking
    by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in such form as may be required by applicable
    law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to repay any Expenses
    advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled
    to be indemnified against such Expenses. The written undertaking required
    by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf
    of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s
  financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement
  to post security therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of
  the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 8 shall be subject
  to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Company determines
  that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law,
  the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within thirty (30) days of
  such determination, by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company)
  for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that
  if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a
  court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should
  be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Company
  that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law
  shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the
  Company for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination is
  made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have
  been exhausted or lapsed).

  	Section 9.	 Procedure for Determination of Entitlement
          to
Indemnification.

   (a)      To obtain indemnification under this Agreement,
      Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein
      or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available
      to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what
      extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the
      Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification,
  advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

    -6-

 (b)      Upon written
    request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence
    of Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with
    respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific
    case: (i) if a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have
    occurred since the date of this Agreement, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter
    defined) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered
    to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred,
    (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested
    Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (B) if such a quorum consisting of
    Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a
    committee of the Board consisting of two or more Disinterested Directors,
    each of whom was duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote
    of the full Board in which the members of the Board who are not Disinterested
    Directors may participate, or (C) if the requirements set forth in (A) or
    (B) above are not satisfied, or if directed by a quorum of Disinterested
    Directors or a majority vote of a duly authorized committee satisfying the
    requirements set forth in (A) or (B) above, as applicable, by Independent
    Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered
    to Indemnitee, or (D) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders
    of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
    indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within seven (7) days
    after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons
    or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement
    to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity
    upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
    not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably
    available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any
    costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred
    by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making
    such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination
    as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and the Company
hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

   

  

  

  
-7-

        (c)      In the
            event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made
            by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, the Independent
            Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 9(c).
            The Independent Counsel shall be selected by (A) a majority vote
            of a quorum
            consisting of Disinterested Directors, or (B) if such a quorum consisting
            of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, then by a majority
            vote of a committee
            of the Board consisting of two or more Disinterested Directors, each
            of whom was duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote
            of the full Board in which the members of the Board who are not Disinterested
            Directors may participate, or (C) if not selected pursuant to (A)
            or (B) above,
            by a majority vote of the full Board in which the members of the
            Board who are not Disinterested Directors may participate, and the
            Company shall
            give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity
            of the Independent Counsel so selected. Indemnitee may, within 10
            days after such written notice of selection shall have been given,
            deliver to
            the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however,
            that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
            Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent
            Counsel” as defined in Section 18 of this Agreement, and the objection
            shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.
            If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent
            Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until
            such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection
            is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of
            a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof,
            no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either
            the Company or Indemnitee, as the case may be, may petition an appropriate
            court of the State of Maryland (a “Maryland Court”) for resolution
            of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s
            selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent
            Counsel of a person selected by the Maryland Court or by such other
            person as the Maryland Court shall designate, and the person with
            respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed
            shall act
            as Independent Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof. The Company shall
            pay, without duplication, any and all reasonable fees and expenses
            of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection
            with acting
            pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable
            fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 9(c),
            regardless
            of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.
            Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration
            pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel
            shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in
            such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional
            conduct then prevailing).

     (d)      The
        Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee to
        the settlement of any Proceeding which the Company has undertaken to
        defend if the Company assumes full and sole responsibility for such settlement
        and the settlement grants Indemnitee a complete and unqualified release
        in respect of the potential liability. The Company shall not be liable
        for any amount paid by Indemnitee in settlement of any Proceeding that
        is not defended by the Company, unless the Company has consented to such
    settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  

    	Section 10.	 Presumptions and Effect of Certain
              Proceedings.

    

     (a)      Subject
      to Section 10(c) below, in making a determination with respect to entitlement
      to indemnification or the advancement of expenses hereunder, the person
      or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee
      is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement
      if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification or the advancement
      of expenses in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the
      Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in
      connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination
      contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including
      its Board or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to
      the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification
      is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
      standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including
      its Board or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable
      standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

-8- 

(b)      If the
      person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 9 of this Agreement
      to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not
      have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company
      of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification
      shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
      indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact,
      or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
      statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
      indemnification,
      or (ii) a prohibition of such
  indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such
  60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional
  thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with
  respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional
  time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating
  thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions
  of this Section 10(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of
  entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders of the Company
  pursuant
  to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after
  receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board has
  resolved
  to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at
  an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such
  receipt
  and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders
  is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making
  such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60)
  days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or
  (ii) if
  the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
  Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement.

   (c)      The
      termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein,
      by judgment, order or settlement, shall not (except as otherwise expressly
      provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee
      to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet
      the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.
      The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein
      by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or
      an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, shall create a rebuttable
      presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the standard of conduct described
  herein for indemnification.

   (d)      For
      purposes of any determination of Good Faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed
      to have acted in “good faith” if Indemnitee’s action
      is based on the records or books of account of the Company or relevant
      subsidiary or Relevant Enterprise, including financial statements, or on
      information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or relevant
      subsidiary or Relevant Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on
      the advice of legal counsel for the Company or relevant subsidiary or Relevant
      Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser
      or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or relevant
      subsidiary or Relevant Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 10(d)
      shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances
      in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
  conduct set forth in this Agreement.

-9- 

(e)      The knowledge
      and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, agent
      or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Relevant Enterprise
      shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right
  to indemnification under this Agreement.

  	Section 11.	 Remedies of Indemnitee.

  

 (a)      In the
    event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement
    that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
    (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of
    this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification
    shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement within 90
    days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv)
    payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 6 or 7 of this
    Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written
    request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten
    (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled
    to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a
    Maryland Court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement
    of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an
    award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the
    Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee
    shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration
    within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right
    to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 11(a); provided, however,
    that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought
    by Indemnitee to
enforce his or her rights under Section 6 of this Agreement.

   (b)      In the
      event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b)
      of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any
      judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11
      shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration,
      on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that
      adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
      pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall have the burden of proving
      that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses,
  as the case may be.

   (c)      If a
      determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement
      that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound
      by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
      pursuant to this Section 11, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of
      a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
      statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
      indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable
  law.

-10- 

  (d)      In the
      event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 11, seeks a judicial adjudication
      of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover
      damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover
      from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and
      all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication
      or arbitration, but only if he or she prevails therein. If it shall be determined
      in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled
      to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses
      sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial
      adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated. The Company
      shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested
      by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of
      a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are
      incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee
      for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement
      or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
      maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately
      is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses
  or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

   (e)      The
      Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or
      arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11 that the procedures and
      presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and
      shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the
  Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

  	Section 12.	 Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance;

            Subrogation.

  

 (a)      The rights
    of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by
    this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
    Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the relevant
    company’s charter or by-laws (or other relevant organizational document),
    any agreement approved by the board of directors, a vote of stockholders
    or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal
    of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any
    right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or
    omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment,
    alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the MGCL, whether by
    statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement
    of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the relevant company’s
    charter and by-laws (or other relevant organizational documents) and this
    Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy
    by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right
    or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right
    or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
    to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
    at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
    or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion
or employment of any other right or remedy.

-11- 

  (b)      To the
      extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
      liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the
      Company and its subsidiaries or of a Relevant Enterprise, Indemnitee shall
      be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms
      to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director,
      officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies.

   (c)      In the
      event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
      to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee,
      who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to
      secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary
  to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

   (d)      The
      Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of
      amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee
      has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy,
  contract, agreement or otherwise.

   (e)      The
      Company’s obligations to indemnify or advance expenses hereunder
      to Indemnitee who is or was serving a Relevant Enterprise shall be reduced
      by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement
  of expenses from such Relevant Enterprise.

  	Section 13.	 Duration of Agreement.

  

This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of:  (a) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and its subsidiaries or of any Relevant Enterprise; or (b) the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all
or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company) and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators.  The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

  -12-

  	 	 
	Section 14.	 Severability.

  

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

  	 	 
	Section 15.	 Exception to Right of Indemnification
          or

        Advancement of Expenses.

  Except as provided in Section 7(a) of this Agreement,
    Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses
    under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding (a) brought by Indemnitee
    (i) against the Company, unless a Change of Control shall have occurred (other
    than a Proceeding by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under this Agreement),
    or (ii) against any Person other than the Company, unless approved in advance
    by the Board; (b) instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement
    to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
      of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Proceeding were not
      made
    in good faith or were frivolous; (c) brought by the Company or any of its
      subsidiaries against Indemnitee prior to a Change of Control alleging (x)
      a willful violation
    by Indemnitee of the terms and conditions of any employment contract, (y) a willful misappropriation of corporate assets by Indemnitee or (z) any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of Indemnitee’s
    duty to the Company (or its subsidiaries) or its stockholders, if the bringing
    of such Proceeding against Indemnitee shall have been approved or subsequently
    ratified by the Board; (d) if the Company has a class of equity securities
    registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Act, for any Expenses or the payment
    of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities
    in violation of Section 16(b) of the Act, or any similar successor statute;
    or
    (e) if it shall be determined by final judgment by a court having jurisdiction
    in the matter that such indemnification is not lawful.

  	Section 16.	 Identical Counterparts.

  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

        the Company, its subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan of the Company
        or any of its subsidiaries, employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries

    the assets of the Company.

-14-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change
      in Control” shall not be deemed to occur (x) so long as Tengelmann
      Warenhandelsgesellschaft (together with its affiliates) is the “beneficial
      owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of securities of the
      Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s

      Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced
      in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past
      five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee
      in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to
      the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include
      any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct
      then prevailing in the State of Maryland, would have a conflict of interest
      in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
      Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay
      the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to

      dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing

      by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal,
      administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is, may be or will
      be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee
      is or was a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and/or
      any of its subsidiaries or of a Relevant Enterprise or by reason of any action
      taken by him or her or of any inaction on his or her part while acting in
      such capacity, in each case whether or not he or she is acting or serving
      in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for
      which indemnification or advancement of expenses can be provided under this
      Agreement; except for (i) one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to
      Section 10 of this Agreement to enforce his or her rights under this Agreement
      or (ii) one pending or completed on or before the Effective Date,
      unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee.

  	Section 19.	 Enforcement.

   (a)      The
      Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement
      and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee
      to serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company and/or
      any of its subsidiaries and/or a Relevant Enterprise, and the Company acknowledges
  that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving in such capacity.

   (b)      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
      respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
      and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto
  with respect to the subject matter hereof.

  	Section 20.	 Modification and Waiver.

  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

    Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder.  The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise

  

  
    	Section 22.	Notices.

    All notices, requests, demands and other communications
          hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
            if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom
            said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii)
            mailed
            by certified

    to Indemnitee by the Company or to the Company by Indemnitee, as the case

  	Section 23.	Contribution.

  To the fullest extent permissible under applicable
      law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable
        to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying
      Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether
      for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid
        in
      settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to
        an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is
      deemed fair
      and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding
      in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company,
        on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other, as a result of the event(s)
        and/or transaction(s)
      giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the
      Company, on the one hand (and its directors, officers, employees and agents),
      and
        Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with such event(s) and/or transactions(s).
