                                SUPERVALU INC.
                                1993 STOCK PLAN

                     RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

     This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of
June 28, 2000, is entered into between SUPERVALU INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and Pamela K. Knous, a key employee of the Company (the
"Participant").

     The Company, pursuant to its 1993 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), desires to carry
out the purpose of the Plan by awarding to the Participant Restricted Stock
Units, representing the right to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00
per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), subject to the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement and in the Plan.  Terms used in this Agreement which
are defined in the Plan shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

     Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Grant of Restricted Stock Units
          -------------------------------

     The Company, effective as of the date of this Agreement, hereby grants to
the Participant Thirty Thousand (30,000) Restricted Stock Units, each Restricted
Stock Unit representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock on such
date as set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein
(the "Restricted Stock Units").

     2.   Rights of the Participant with Respect to Restricted Stock Units
          ----------------------------------------------------------------

     The rights of the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units
shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date on which such rights
become vested in accordance with Section 3 hereof.  The Participant shall not be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company's Common Stock solely by
reason of this award of Restricted Stock Units.  Neither the Participant nor the
Participant's legal representatives shall have any of the rights and privileges
of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable
in payment of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until certificates for such
shares shall have been issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

     3.   Vesting; Forfeiture
          -------------------

     (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Restricted
Stock Units shall vest in installments on the dates and in the amounts shown

subsidiary of the Company until such date.

               Date                Restricted Stock Units Vested
               ----                -----------------------------

     June 28, 2007                               100%

     (b)  Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Section 3(a)
above, but subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, upon the
date of the consummation of a "Change of Control" as defined in the Change of
Control Severance Agreement, dated February 12, 1999, or any successor agreement
thereto, between the Company and the Participant (the "Severance Agreement"),
prior to any termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company, all of the Restricted Stock Units granted to the
Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall vest immediately.

     (c)  Upon the Participant's termination of employment with the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company, any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested
pursuant to the vesting provisions set forth in either Section 3(a) or 3(b)
above shall be forfeited and all associated rights shall lapse without value.

     (d)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if the
Participant dies before reaching age fifty-seven (57), the Participant's legal
representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to the Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b)
above prior to the date of such death, but any Restricted Stock Units that have
not so vested by such date shall be forfeited and all associated rights shall
lapse without value.

     4.   Payment of Restricted Stock Units; Issuance of Shares
          -----------------------------------------------------

     (a)  If all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to
Section 3(a) above, the Company shall make payment to the Participant by issuing
one share of the Company's Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that has
vested pursuant to Section 3(a) above on the later of the following dates (the
"Payment Date"):

          (i)   the date the Participant reaches age 57; and

          (ii)  the first anniversary of the date of the Participant's
     termination of employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
     or the 30th day following the date of the Participant's death, if earlier.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Promptly following the Payment Date, the Company shall cause to be issued one or
more stock certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, evidencing
the shares issued in payment of the Restricted Stock Units.

     (b)  If the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3(b) above, the
Company shall make payment to the Participant by issuing one share of the
Company's Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to the Participant
pursuant to this Agreement as of the date of the consummation of a "Change of
Control" as defined in the Severance Agreement (the "Change of Control Payment
Date").  Promptly following the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
shall cause to be issued one or more stock certificates, registered in the name
of the Participant, evidencing the shares issued in payment of the Restricted
Stock Units.

     (c)  If the Participant should die before reaching age fifty-seven (57) and
Restricted Stock Units shall have vested as of the date of such death as
provided in Section 3(d) above, then, notwithstanding the payment provisions of
Section 4(a) above, the Company promptly shall cause to be issued one or more
stock certificates, registered in the name of the Participant's legal
representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, evidencing the
shares issued in payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units.

     (d)  For purposes of this Agreement, the date of the Participant's
termination of employment shall be the date on which the Participant actually or
effectively ceases to be an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company, in accordance with the Company's personnel policies.  The Participant
shall not be deemed to have terminated employment as a result of short-term
illness, vacation or other authorized leave of absence, provided the Participant
continues to be an employee and returns to her duties as an employee following
the completion of such illness, vacation or other absence.

     (e)  The Participant shall also not be deemed to have terminated employment
as a result of a disability which renders the Participant incapable of returning
to work.  In the event of such a disability, the Restricted Stock Units shall
continue to vest as and when provided in Section 3 and shall be paid as and when
provided in Sections 4(a)-(c) above as if the Participant had remained employed
by the Company.  For purposes of this Section 4(e), "disability" is defined as
eligibility for long-term disability payments under the applicable Long-Term
Disability Plan of the Company.

     5.   Adjustments
          -----------

     In the event of any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-
up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other
similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee may, as it determines to
be appropriate, adjust the number and/or type of shares subject to the
Restricted Stock Units.

     6.   Covenant Not to Compete and Protection of Confidential Information
          ------------------------------------------------------------------

     (a)  The Participant stipulates and represents that the following facts are
true:  the Participant is an Executive Vice President of the Company and led one
of the Company's primary administrative functions; the Participant participates
as a member of the Company's senior executive staff; by virtue of her position
on that senior executive staff, the Participant has had access to highly
sensitive and confidential information regarding, without limitation, the
Company's margins on products in all areas of its business, and financial data
and strategic plans for all areas of the Company's business.  The Participant
acknowledges that this information was gained by virtue of her employment at the
Company, is confidential and secret information from which the Company draws
economic value, actual or potential, from its not being generally known to
persons outside the Company, is information which the Company has taken
reasonable measures to preserve its confidentiality, and could not easily be
duplicated by others, and is information which the Company required considerable
time and effort to develop. The Participant further acknowledges that the
misuse, misappropriation or disclosure of this information could cause
irreparable harm to the Company, both during and after the term of the
Participant's employment.

     (b)  The Participant agrees that she will not, within the Continental
United States, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be
employed by or participate in ownership, management, operation or control of,
provide consulting services to, or be connected in any manner with any business
that competes with the Company or any of its food retailing or food wholesaling
affiliates; provided, however, that this subparagraph (b) shall not apply after
            -----------------
a "Change of Control" as defined in the Severance Agreement.  The Participant
shall retain the right to seek the written approval of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer to waive the requirements of this Paragraph 6(b) with respect
to any particular activity in which the Participant seeks to engage, which
approval shall be granted or denied based upon the Company's reasonable desire
to protect its business interest, but in its sole discretion.

     (c)  The Participant agrees that during her employment and at all times
thereafter the Participant will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of
the Company and will not divulge or disclose, directly or indirectly, to any
other person, firm or business, all confidential or proprietary information,
knowledge and data (including, but not limited to, processes, programs, trade
"know how," ideas, details of contracts, marketing plans, strategies, business
development techniques, business acquisition plans, personnel plans, pricing
practices and business methods and practices) relating in any way to the
business of the Company, its affiliates, customers, suppliers, joint ventures,
licensors, licensees, distributors or other persons and entities with whom the
Company does business ("Confidential Data"), except upon the Company's written
consent or as required by the Participant's duties with the Company, for so long
as such Confidential Data remains confidential and all such Confidential Data,
together with all copies thereof and notes and other references thereto, shall
remain the sole property of the Company.

     (d)  The Participant agrees that the Participant will not either directly,
or in concert with others, recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any
employee or employees of

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate their employment with the
Company and/or become associated with another employer. The Participant further
agrees that the Participant will not either directly, or in concert with others,
solicit, divert or take away or attempt to divert or take away, the business or
patronage of any of the customers or accounts which were contacted, solicited or
served by the Company while the Participant was employed with the Company.

     (e)  The Participant agrees not to make disparaging statements about the
Company, its officers, directors, agents, employees, products or services which
are false or misleading.

     (f)  The Participant agrees that except as otherwise provided in Section
6(c) above, the foregoing covenants contained in this Section 6 shall continue
in effect until the later of age fifty-seven (57) or one (1) year after the
Participant's termination (for any reason whatsoever) of employment with the
Company.  The Participant acknowledges that damages which may arise from a
breach of any of the foregoing covenants contained in this Section 6 are
impossible to ascertain or prove with certainty.  If any covenant in this
Section 6 is breached, all Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited, and all
associated rights shall lapse and be terminated, and in addition to other legal
remedies which may be available, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate
injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction to end such breach, without
further proof of damage.

     (g)  To the extent any provision of this Section of the Agreement shall be
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deleted from
this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such
provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected.  In furtherance of and not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Participant expressly agrees that should the
duration of or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any
provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable
under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that
duration, extent or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered.  The
Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and
expressly stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that
renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not
exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

     (h)  Nothing in this Section 6 shall amend, limit, terminate or replace any
other confidentiality or non-compete obligation that the Participant may have in
any other agreement with the Company.

     7.   Transferability
          ---------------

     The Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable otherwise than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution.  More particularly (but without
limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Restricted Stock Units may not be
assigned, transferred (except as aforesaid), pledged or hypothecated in any way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Restricted Stock

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Units contrary to the provisions hereof and the levy of an execution, attachment
or similar process upon the Restricted Stock Units shall be void.

     8.   Taxes
          -----

     (a)  The Participant acknowledges that she will consult with her personal
tax advisor regarding the income tax consequences of the vesting and payment of
the Restricted Stock Units or any other matters related to this Agreement.  In
order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or
regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure
that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other
taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are
withheld or collected from the Participant.

     (b)  The Participant may elect to satisfy any federal and state income tax
withholding obligations arising from the payment of the Restricted Stock Units
pursuant to Section 4 hereof by (i) having the Company withhold a portion of the
shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered in payment of the Restricted
Stock Units having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the
amount of federal and state income taxes required to be withheld in connection
with such payment or (ii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock other
than the shares issuable in connection with the payment of the Restricted Stock
Units having a Fair Market Value equal to such taxes.  The Participant may elect
to satisfy any federal and state income tax withholding obligations arising
prior to the payment of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 4 hereof
by delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock other than the shares
issuable in payment of the Restricted Stock Units having a Fair Market Value
equal to such taxes.  Any election must be made on or before the date that the
amount of taxes to be withheld is determined.

     9.   No Right to Employment
          ----------------------

     Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall be construed as giving the
Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan affect in any
way the right of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company to terminate the
Participant's employment at any time, with or without cause.

     10.  General Provisions
          ------------------

     (a)  The Restricted Stock Units are granted pursuant to the Plan and are
subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.  A copy of the Plan is
available to the Participant upon request.

     (b)  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior
expressions of intent or understanding with respect to the Restricted Stock
Units.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     (c)  This Agreement is subject to all applicable laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of
Common Stock in payment of the Restricted Stock Units until the requirements of
any federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations or other laws or
rules (including the rules of the New York Stock Exchange) as may be determined
by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.

     (d)  The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, and any rules
and regulations relating to this Agreement, shall be determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of Minnesota (other than its law respecting choice of
law), except to the extent the general corporation law of the State of Delaware
would be applicable.

     (e)  If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it
cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the
Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement, such
provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

     (f)  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not be deemed in any way to be material or relevant to the
construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Participant have signed this
Agreement as of the date first above written.

                   SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
                   ----------------------------------------

     This Separation Agreement and General Release ("Agreement") is entered into
by and between William J. Bolton ("Bolton") and SUPERVALU INC. ("SUPERVALU").

     WHEREAS, Bolton's employment and his duties with SUPERVALU as Executive
Vice President and President & Chief Operating Officer, Retail Food Companies
will terminate by mutual agreement effective December 2, 2000; and

     WHEREAS, Bolton and SUPERVALU desire to fully and finally settle all legal
issues, differences and actual and potential claims between them, including, but
in no way limited to, any claim that might arise out of Bolton's employment with
SUPERVALU and the termination thereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
Bolton and SUPERVALU agree as follows:

     1.   Bolton hereby resigns from his employment and his position with
SUPERVALU as Executive Vice President and President & Chief Operating Officer,
Retail Food Companies, effective December 2, 2000.

     2.   For the period December 3, 2000 through June 2, 2001, SUPERVALU agrees
as follows:

          a.   To continue pay biweekly in an amount equal to Bolton's biweekly
base compensation, less legally required deductions ("Severance Pay");

          b.   To reimburse Bolton for the grossed up cost of COBRA coverage
through November 30, 2001.  SUPERVALU's obligation hereunder shall terminate
immediately if and when Bolton becomes employed elsewhere and becomes eligible
to receive any such medical and dental benefits from a new employer.

          c.   If by June 2, 2001, Bolton has not secured a comparable position,
he will be eligible to receive additional Severance Pay until he secures a
position up to a maximum period of twenty-six additional weeks.  Bolton agrees
that he will immediately inform SUPERVALU when he becomes employed or engaged in
any manner to provide services for compensation during the period June 2, 2001
through December 2, 2001.

     3.   It is understood that the gross amount of any payment to be made by
SUPERVALU pursuant to paragraph 2(c) shall be reduced by the gross amount of:

          a.   Any compensation received by Bolton from any subsequent employer,
principal, or entity during that same period; and

                                       1
<PAGE>

          b.   Any income from self-employment in excess of reasonable expenses
related to self-employment incurred by Bolton during that same period; provided
that no deduction shall be made for remuneration received by Bolton in exchange
for public appearances that are not made in connection with ongoing employment
or engagement.

     4.   Bolton and SUPERVALU agree that the parties have entered into various
agreements granting Bolton certain rights with regard to shares of SUPERVALU
stock, which will be resolved as follows.

          a.   Bolton will be entitled to exercise any stock options that would
vest on or before October 20, 2001 pursuant to the terms of the option
agreements executed by Bolton.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the terms of those agreements will remain in full force and effect.

          b.   Bolton will be entitled to receive 16,179 shares of restricted
stock from the FY'98 - FY'00 Long-Term Incentive Plan payment, on December 16,
2000 or within five business days of the end of the rescission period described
in paragraph 13 hereof, whichever date occurs later, subject to all the terms
and conditions of said plan.

     5.   In partial consideration for the promises and covenants contained in
paragraphs 10(a), (b) and (c) hereof, SUPERVALU agrees to make the following
payments to which Bolton agrees that he is not otherwise entitled:

          a.   SUPERVALU will issue to Bolton 18,555 shares of SUPERVALU stock
on March 1, 2001.

          b.   SUPERVALU will pay to Bolton a cash amount equal to the Long-Term
Incentive Plan (LTIP) FY1999-FY2001, payout that Bolton would have received had
he remained employed by SUPERVALU through the date on which the LTIP restricted
stock would be approved and issued in the normal course of SUPERVALU's
operation.

     6.   SUPERVALU shall provide Bolton with the following additional benefits:

          a.   Executive-level outplacement services through a service to be
agreed upon by the parties, in an amount not to exceed $20,000;

          b.   Reimbursement in an amount up to $8,000 for fees incurred by
Bolton for financial planning services during the period when he is receiving
payments under this Agreement; and

          c.   Payment for Bolton's physical examination at the Mayo Clinic
scheduled to occur on March 14 and 15, 2001.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     7.   Except as otherwise expressly provided within this Agreement, Bolton's
rights to benefits under all SUPERVALU benefit plans shall be governed by the
terms of those plans.

     8.   All other items of compensation not mentioned in paragraphs 2 through
6 above have been resolved, and Bolton shall have no further claim to any other
items of compensation or benefits.

     9.   Bolton agrees that he is not entitled to all of the payments and
benefits described in paragraphs 2 through 6 as a result of his employment with
SUPERVALU, and that the payments and benefits are being provided as
consideration for his acceptance and execution of this Agreement.

     10.  As an essential inducement to SUPERVALU to enter into this Agreement,
and as consideration for the foregoing promises of SUPERVALU, Bolton agrees as
follows:

          a.   Bolton acknowledges that during the course of and by virtue of
his employment with SUPERVALU, he has had access to and gained knowledge of
highly confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets as defined by
SUPERVALU and UTSA.  Bolton further acknowledges that the misuse,
misappropriation or disclosure of this information could cause irreparable harm
to SUPERVALU, both during and after the term of Bolton's employment.  Therefore,
Bolton agrees that during his employment and at all times thereafter, he will
not disclose to, or use for the benefit of anyone outside of SUPERVALU, any
confidential or proprietary information or trade secret, except upon SUPERVALU's
written consent or as required by Bolton's duties with SUPERVALU.

          b.   Bolton confirms and agrees that SUPERVALU will be substantially
harmed if Bolton were to become affiliated with any business concern that
competes with SUPERVALU subsequent to his separation from employment. Therefore,
Bolton agrees that for the period commencing upon his execution of this
Agreement and ending 12 months after his last receipt of any compensation
hereunder, Bolton will not, within the continental United States, directly or
indirectly, (1) own, manage, operate, join, control be employed by or
participate in ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected
in any manner with any business that (a) competes within a major market where
(i) SUPERVALU, as of the date of this Agreement owns retail supermarkets (Cub
Foods, Shop 'n Save, bigg's, Scott's, Shoppers Food Warehouse, Farm Fresh Foods,
Laneco, Hornbacher's, Randall's, Metro, Save-A-Lot), or (ii) where SUPERVALU, to
Bolton's knowledge as of the date of this Agreement, is engaged in plans to open
or purchase retail supermarket(s); (b) is a wholesale grocery company that
competes with SUPERVALU's wholesale distribution operations; or (2) become
involved in any manner with any current customer of SUPERVALU for the purpose of
acquiring, leasing, selling, or otherwise disposing of that customer's stores,
or supplying such customers with products supplied by SUPERVALU.  Bolton shall
retain the right to seek the written approval of SUPERVALU's Chief Executive
Officer waiving the

                                       3
<PAGE>

requirements of this paragraph 10(b) with respect to any particular activity in
which Bolton seeks to engage; which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          c.   Bolton agrees that for the period commencing upon his execution
of this Agreement and ending 24 months after his last receipt of any
compensation hereunder, he will not either directly, or in concert with others,
recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee or employees of
SUPERVALU or any of its affiliates to terminate their employment and/or become
associated with another employer.

          d.   In the event that Bolton should materially violate any of the
provisions of paragraphs 10 (a), (b), and/or (c), Bolton agrees that SUPERVALU's
obligation to provide any further payments and/or benefits under paragraphs 2,
through 6 above shall terminate immediately upon any such violation, without
limiting the other remedies available to SUPERVALU.  Bolton further acknowledges
and agrees that any breach of the provisions of paragraphs 10(a), (b) and/or (c)
would cause SUPERVALU irreparable harm, the value of which is difficult or
impossible to determine, and that therefore, SUPERVALU may seek any additional
other remedy available to it under law or equity including but not limited to
seeking injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

          e.   By this Agreement, Bolton and SUPERVALU intend to settle any and
all claims that Bolton has or may have against SUPERVALU arising from or related
to Bolton's employment with SUPERVALU and/or the cessation of Bolton's
employment with SUPERVALU.  For the consideration expressed herein, Bolton
hereby releases and discharges SUPERVALU, its subsidiary corporations and all of
their officers, employees, agents, assigns, insurers, representatives, counsel,
administrators, successors, shareholders, and/or directors from all liability
for damages and/or from legal claims of any kind, including but not limited to
any statutory, contract, quasi contract, or tort claims, whether known or
unknown, developed or undeveloped, and agrees not to institute any claim for
damages or otherwise, by charge or otherwise, nor authorize any other party,
governmental or otherwise, to institute any claim via administrative or legal
proceedings against SUPERVALU for any such claims including, but not limited to,
claims arising out of his employment or the termination of that employment
including but not limited to claims for wages, commissions, penalties, vacation
pay or other benefit, defamation or improper discharge (based on contract, at
common law or under any federal, state or local statute or ordinance prohibiting
discrimination in employment particularly discrimination based on race, sex,
national origin, age, color, religion, marital status, disability or sexual
orientation including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) or attorney's
fees or other costs or expenses.  Bolton and SUPERVALU agree that, by signing
this Agreement, Bolton does not waive any claims arising after the execution of
this Agreement.

     11.  Bolton agrees to provide limited transition services to SUPERVALU as
reasonably requested so long as he continues to receive any payments of
compensation hereunder.

     12.  Bolton further agrees that he will be available upon reasonable notice
and will voluntarily participate in the defense or prosecution of any claims or
litigation that may be brought against or on behalf of SUPERVALU about which he
has information or knowledge.  SUPERVALU agrees that it will indemnify Bolton
with respect to such claims or litigation to the same extent that it is
permitted to indemnify its current officers.

     13.  Bolton is hereby informed of his right to rescind and revoke this
Agreement by written notice to SUPERVALU within 15 calendar days following his
execution of this Agreement.  To be effective, such written notice must either
be delivered by hand or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,

period.  Bolton understands that SUPERVALU will have no obligations under this
Agreement in the event such notice is timely delivered and any payments made as
of that date by SUPERVALU pursuant to paragraphs 2 through 6, herein, shall be
immediately repaid by Bolton to SUPERVALU.

     14.  Bolton acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an
attorney prior to signing this Agreement and further acknowledges that he has
been advised that he has at least 21 days to consider whether to agree to waive
and release his rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.   In the
event that Bolton executes this Agreement prior to the end of that 21-day
period, that act shall constitute his voluntary waiver of the rights described
within this Paragraph 14.

     15.  The parties further agree that the terms of this Agreement shall
remain confidential provided that SUPERVALU may disclose such terms as is
necessary to effectuate the terms of the Agreement and/or for the operation or
its business and that Bolton may disclose such terms to his spouse, tax and
financial advisers, and attorney.  The disclosing party shall advise the person
or entity to whom information is disclosed of the confidential nature of such
information.

     16.  Bolton understands and agrees that effective December 2, 2000, he is
no longer authorized to incur any expenses or obligations or liabilities on
behalf of SUPERVALU, unless authorized in advance by SUPERVALU's Chief Executive
Officer or President and Chief Operating Officer.

     17.  Bolton agrees that on or before December 2, 2000, he will return to
SUPERVALU any property of SUPERVALU in his possession or control.

     18.  Bolton agrees that he will refrain from making any statements, whether
written or oral, which are materially disparaging of SUPERVALU, its directors,
officers, employees, agents, or representatives.  Bolton agrees that SUPERVALU's
obligation to provide any further payments and/or benefits under paragraphs 2
through 6 above shall terminate immediately upon any violation of this paragraph
18.  SUPERVALU agrees that its officers and directors will refrain from making
any statements, whether written or oral, that are materially disparaging of
Bolton.

     20.  Bolton agrees this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an
admission by SUPERVALU that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Bolton or
any other person, or that Bolton has any legal claims whatsoever against
SUPERVALU. SUPERVALU specifically disclaims any liability to, or wrongful acts
against, Bolton or any other person, on the part of itself, its directors, its
officers, its employees, its representatives or its agents.

     21.  SUPERVALU represents and warrants that to the knowledge of its
officers and directors, as of the date hereof, SUPERVALU has no claim against
Bolton for any breach of his duties or responsibilities committed while employed
by SUPERVALU.

     22.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.  Bolton hereby affirms that his rights to
payments or benefits from SUPERVALU are specified exclusively and completely in
this Agreement.  Any modification of, or addition to, this Agreement must be in
writing, signed by SUPERVALU and Bolton.

     23.  This Agreement is personal to Bolton and may not be assigned by Bolton
without the written agreement of SUPERVALU.  All payments provided herein to or
for the benefit of Bolton and the maintenance of coverages as herein provided,
shall be made to his estate and for the benefit of his dependents, heirs and
beneficiaries in the event of his death prior to the receipt thereof.

     24.  This Agreement constitutes a contract enforceable against either party
and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Minnesota.   Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to violate any
applicable law.  If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation
of a state and/or federal law, then that part shall be null and void, but the
balance of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
