                            SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

          THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of August
6, 2003, by and among SMART & FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"),
AMERICAN FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a California corporation ("AFD" and together
with SFI, the "Sellers"), and GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Buyer"). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have
the meaning set forth in Article XI hereof.

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

          SFI is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding equity securities of AFD. AFD is the record and beneficial owner of
all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Henry Lee Company, a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), through which AFD conducts a foodservice
distribution business in the State of Florida (the "Foodservice Business"). The
Foodservice Business does not, however, include any business conducted directly
or indirectly by either of the Sellers under the name "Southern Foods".

          In addition to the Foodservice Business, AFD also operates, among
other things, a fresh meat processing business in the state of Florida under the
name "Orlando Food Service" (the "Meat Processing Business"). SFI is the record
and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of
Smart & Final Stores Corporation, a California corporation ("SF Stores" and,
together with SFI and AFD, the "Seller Parties"). SF Stores is engaged in the
retail food store business in the State of Florida and operates from several
locations within that state.

          In a separate but related transaction, Buyer's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, GFS Orlando, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS
Orlando"), and GFS Stores, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS
Stores" and, together with Buyer and GFS Orlando, the "Buyer Parties"), will
acquire from AFD and SF Stores, respectively, all of the assets that are used by
AFD and SF Stores, respectively, in the operation of the Meat Processing
Business and the Retail Store Business and located in the state of Florida
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof by and among Buyer
Parties and Seller Parties (the "Asset Purchase Agreement").

          This Agreement is being entered into by Buyer and Sellers to set forth
the terms and conditions upon which Buyer will purchase from Sellers all of the
issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company (the "Shares"). SFI
joins in this Agreement for the purpose of making certain representations and
warranties to, agreeing to perform certain covenants for the benefit of, and
providing indemnification to Buyer as provided herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and
covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

                                    ARTICLE I

                           PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

          1.1 Sale and Purchase of the Shares. On the Closing Date (as such term
is defined in Section 1.5), AFD shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall acquire
from AFD, the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          1.2 Purchase Price and Payment. The purchase price to be paid by Buyer
to Sellers on the Closing Date for the Shares shall be Twenty-Four Million Two
Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars ($24,282,868),
subject to adjustment for changes in the Net Working Capital of the Company as
described in Section 1.3 below (the "Purchase Price"). The Net Working Capital
of the Company as of March 23, 2003, is Thirty Million Seven Hundred Seventy
Three Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Eight Dollars ($30,773,248) (the "March 23,
2003 Net Working Capital"). In order to establish a reasonable estimate of the
Purchase Price at Closing, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyers, not less
than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, a detailed written
statement (the "Preliminary Purchase Price Statement") of Sellers' reasonable
good faith calculation of the Company's Net Working Capital as of the Closing
Date (the "Preliminary Net Working Capital"). If the Preliminary Net Working
Capital is less than the March 23, 2003 Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price
shall be reduced dollar for dollar by such difference and if the Preliminary Net
Working Capital is greater than the March 23, 2003 Net Working Capital the
Purchase Price shall be increased dollar for dollar by such difference. The
Purchase Price shall be paid at Closing as follows:

               (a) an amount equal to the Purchase Price (based on the
Preliminary Purchase Price Statement) less the sum of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) shall be paid to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available
funds (the "Closing Payment"); and

               (b) the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Escrow
Payment") shall be delivered to Wells Fargo Bank (the "Escrow Agent") to be held
in escrow on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an escrow
agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Escrow
Agreement").

          1.3 Adjustment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted
on a dollar-for-dollar basis to reflect any increases or decreases in the
Preliminary Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Net Working Capital" means the difference between (a) the
sum of cash, cash equivalents, temporary investments, accounts receivable,
inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets and (b) the sum of
accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, in each
case with respect to the Company and in each case computed in accordance with
GAAP utilizing the accounting policies and practices set forth on Schedule 1.3.

          1.4 Adjustment Procedure.

                                       2

<PAGE>

               (a) Sellers shall prepare the Closing Financial Statement (as
defined below) and shall cause Ernst & Young, LLP to undertake a balance sheet
audit (the "Balance Sheet Audit") as of the Closing Date and compute the Net
Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date and the adjustment, if
any, to the Purchase Price required by Section 1.3, and Ernst & Young LLP shall,
and Sellers shall cause Ernst & Young, LLP to, deliver to Buyer, within
forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, a detailed written statement with
reasonable supporting documentation (the "Closing Financial Statement")
reflecting the result of its audit. Buyer and Seller shall have access to, and
will have the opportunity to present to Ernst & Young, LLP any material relating
to, the Closing Financial Statement, and to discuss the audit of the Closing
Financial Statement with Ernst & Young, LLP. The parties agree that with respect
to the audit contemplated in this Agreement and by Section 1.5(a) of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, (i) Sellers cost shall not exceed, in the aggregate Thirty
Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) and that any amount in excess of $35,000 shall
be the obligation of Buyer and (ii) Sellers shall cause Ernst & Young LLP to
limit the scope of such audit upon receiving a reasonable written request from
Buyer setting forth the scope of such restrictions within five (5) days of Ernst
& Young LLP commencing such audit. For the avoidance of doubt, other than (A)
the adjustment of the Purchase Price to reflect changes in the Preliminary Net
Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.3 and (B) claims for breaches of the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that require the
Sellers to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Article X, the Balance Sheet Audit shall
have no effect on any adjustment to the Purchase Price. If within thirty (30)
days following delivery of the Closing Financial Statement Buyer has not given
Sellers notice of its objection to the Closing Financial Statement (which notice
must contain a reasonable statement of the basis of the objection), then the
Closing Financial Statement shall be deemed to be the "Final Closing Financial
Statement" and the Net Working Capital amount set forth therein shall be deemed
to be the "Final Net Working Capital". If Buyer gives such notice of objection,
then the issues in dispute will be submitted to one of the "Big Four" national
accounting firms (other than Ernst & Young, LLP) mutually acceptable to Buyer
and Sellers (the "Accountants") for resolution. If issues in dispute are
submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (i) each party will furnish to the
Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the
disputed issues as the Accountants may reasonably request and are available to
that party (or its independent public accountants), and will be afforded the
opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the
determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; (ii) the
determination by the Accountants, as set forth in a notice delivered to both
parties by the Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and
(iii) Buyer will bear fifty percent (50%) and Sellers will bear fifty percent
(50%) of the fees of the Accountants for such determination. If Buyer has given
a notice of objection in accordance with this Section 1.4(a), the Closing
Financial Statement, as modified by resolution of any such disputes with respect
thereto by the Accountants, shall be the "Final Closing Financial Statement" and
the Net Working Capital amount set forth therein shall be the "Final Net Working
Capital".

               (b) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Final Net Working
Capital is greater than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, Buyer will pay such
difference to Sellers in immediately available funds and the Escrow Agent shall,
and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent to, deliver to Sellers Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) from the Escrow Payment in accordance with the
Escrow Agreement.

                                       3

<PAGE>

               (c) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Final Net Working
Capital is less than the Preliminary Net Working Capital (such difference, the
"Difference") and such Difference is less than or equal to Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000), Sellers shall direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer,
from the amounts held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Difference, and
Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Sellers, from the Escrow
Payment Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) less the Difference, all in
accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

               (d) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Difference is
greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), Sellers shall direct the
Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer, from the Escrow Payment, Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and shall pay to
Buyer, in immediately available funds, the Difference less Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000).

               (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, any item
which is contained within the Final Net Working Capital or the Balance Sheet
Audit that has been reviewed as part of the adjustment process in arriving at
the Final Net Working Capital shall not serve as a basis for an indemnification
claim for a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under
this Agreement.

          1.5 Accounts Receivable Purchase Price Adjustment. The aggregate
Purchase Price (the sum of the Purchase Price as defined herein and in the Asset
Purchase Agreement) shall be reduced by an amount equal to Sixty Five Cents
($0.65) on the dollar for each dollar amount of the Accounts Receivable not
collected by the Buyer (but excluding those Accounts Receivable from customers
who are as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date paying currently on
negotiated extended payment terms) as of the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, as modified below (the "Accounts Receivable Settlement Date"), but only in
the event and to the extent that such uncollected amount exceeds the amount of
the allowance for doubtful accounts set forth on the Final Closing Financial
Statement (as defined herein and in the Asset Purchase Agreement) (the aggregate
dollar amount that exceeds such allowance for doubtful accounts is referred to
herein as the "Uncollected Amount"); provided, however, that the Uncollected
Amount or the Final Uncollected Accounts Receivable (as defined below), as
applicable, shall not include any amounts that the Buyer is unable to collect as
a result of its failure to comply with Section 6.11 or as a result of a Force
Majeure Event; provided, further, that in the event an account is uncollectible
as a result of a Force Majeure Event that occurs on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, the collection period for such account shall be
extended to sixty (60) days from the date of occurrence of the Force Majeure
Event (the "60 Day Period") and if such 60 Day Period extends beyond the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Accounts Receivable Settlement Date
shall be the last day of such 60 Day Period.

          1.6 Accounts Receivable Purchase Price Adjustment Procedure.

               (a) Buyer shall prepare the Accounts Receivable Statement (as
defined below) and deliver to Sellers, within fifteen (15) days of the Accounts
Receivable Settlement Date, a detailed written statement setting forth the
Uncollected Amount with reasonable

                                       4

<PAGE>

supporting documentation (the "Accounts Receivable Statement"). If within
fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Accounts Receivable Statement
Sellers have not given Buyer notice of their objection to the Accounts
Receivable Statement (which notice must contain a reasonable statement of the
basis of the objection), then the Accounts Receivable Statement shall be deemed
to be the "Final Accounts Receivable Statement" and the amount of uncollected
Accounts Receivable (less the allowance for doubtful accounts and excluding
Accounts Receivable from customers who are as of the first anniversary of the
Closing Date paying currently on negotiated extended payment terms) set forth
therein shall be deemed to be the "Final Uncollected Accounts Receivable". If
Sellers give such notice of objection, then the issues in dispute will be
submitted to one of the "Big Four" national accounting firms (other than Ernst &
Young, LLP) mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers for resolution. If issues
in dispute are submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (i) each party will
furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information
relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may reasonably request and
are available to that party (or its independent public accountants), and will be
afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to
the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; (ii)
the determination by the Accountants, as set forth in a notice delivered to both
parties by the Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and
(iii) Buyer will bear fifty percent (50%) and Sellers will bear fifty percent
(50%) of the fees of the Accountants for such determination. If Sellers have
given a notice of objection in accordance with this Section 1.6(a), the Final
Accounts Receivable Statement, as modified by resolution of any such disputes
with respect thereto by the Accountants, shall be the "Final Accounts Receivable
Statement" and the uncollected Accounts Receivable amount (less the allowance
for doubtful accounts and excluding Accounts Receivable from customers who are
as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date paying currently on negotiated
extended payment terms) set forth therein shall be the "Final Uncollected
Accounts Receivable ".

               (b) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Accounts Receivable Statement, Sellers shall pay to
Buyer in immediately available funds the product of (i) $0.65 and (ii) the Final
Uncollected Accounts Receivable.

               (c) Any item which is contained within the Final Uncollected
Accounts Receivable or that has been reviewed as part of the adjustment process
in arriving at the Final Uncollected Accounts Receivable shall not serve as a
basis for an indemnification claim for a breach of a representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

          1.7 Adjustment Allocations. The parties agree that the allocation of
any adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.5 between
this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be performed in good faith
and consistent with the allocation methodology used with respect to the March
23, 2003 Orlando Balance Sheet, the March 23, 2003 SF Stores Balance Sheet and
the Company's March 23, 2003 Balance Sheet.

          1.8 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") will take place at the offices of Foley & Lardner,
2029 Century Park East, Suite 3500, Los Angeles, California 90067-3021, within

(b) cooperate with Sellers in obtaining all consents identified in Schedule 2.2;
provided, however, that this Agreement will not require Buyer to dispose of or
make any change in any portion of its business or to incur any other material
burden to obtain a Governmental Authorization.

          5.2 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Except as set forth in the
proviso to Section 5.1, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date,
Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions in
Article VII to be satisfied.

                                       31

<PAGE>

          5.3 Cooperation. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date, each of the Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate, and use their reasonable
commercial efforts, to make all filings and obtain all licenses, permits,
consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of governmental
authorities and other third parties necessary to consummate the Contemplated
Transactions. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide such
assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be
reasonably requested by any third party whose consent or approval is sought
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate or be
construed to obligate (A) Sellers or Buyer to make any payment to any third
party in order to obtain the consent or approval of such third party or to
transfer any contract, license or permit in violation of its terms or (B) Buyer
to provide any financial information that is not publicly available. Sellers
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party consents as
Buyers may reasonably deem necessary in connection with the transfer of the
leases set forth on Schedule 6.8 and the consents set forth on Schedule 2.2, it
being understood that (i) nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to be a
covenant that Sellers shall in fact obtain on Buyer's behalf any such consents,
(ii) obtaining such consents shall not be a condition to Closing (except as
provided in Section 8.3) and (iii) Sellers' failure to obtain such consents as a
result of Buyer's failure or inability to provide financial information pursuant
to the exemption provided in the prior sentence shall not be regarded as a
breach by Sellers of its obligations to obtain such consents pursuant to this
Agreement. Buyer shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to
assist Sellers in obtaining such consents.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                   POST-CLOSING COVENANTS OF BUYER AND SELLERS

          Buyer and Sellers agree as follows with respect to the period
following the Closing:

          6.1 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action
is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of
the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery
of such further instruments and documents) as any other party may request, all
at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting
party is entitled to indemnification therefore under Article X below). Sellers
acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the Buyer will be entitled
to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements, and financial data
relating to the Company and the Foodservice Business; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be
entitled to possession of any of Sellers' Tax records, but Buyer shall be
provided access to such Tax records to the extent necessary to comply with all
applicable Legal Requirements.

          6.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any party
actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with
(a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact,
situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan,
occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior
to the Closing Date involving the Company or the Foodservice Business, each of
the other parties will reasonably

                                       32

<PAGE>

cooperate with such party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make
available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books
and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or
defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party
(unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification
therefore under Article X below).

          6.3 Transition. Sellers will not take any action that is designed or
intended or may reasonably be expected to discourage any lessor, licensor,
customer, supplier, employee, or other business associate of the Company or the
Foodservice Business from maintaining substantially the same business
relationships with the Company and the Foodservice Business after the Closing as
it maintained with the Company or Sellers (with respect to the Foodservice
Business) prior to the Closing. Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts
to refer all customer inquiries relating to the Foodservice Business to Buyer
from and after the Closing.

          6.4 Non-Company Employees Engaged in the Foodservice Business.
Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company to offer employment to each of the employees of Seller who
immediately prior to the Closing Date are primarily engaged in the Company's
Foodservice Business, as set forth in Schedule 6.4 (the "Foodservice
Employees"). The terms of such employment for each such Foodservice Employee
shall be substantially equivalent in base salary, bonus compensation, and
benefits in the aggregate to those provided on the Closing Date to such
Foodservice Employees. Those Foodservice Employees who accept such offers of
employment, combined with all Persons employed by the Company on the Closing
Date who continue to be employed by the Company following the Closing Date shall
be referred to herein as "Continuing Employees."

          6.5 Employee Benefits.

               (a) Buyer shall take all necessary actions to provide that all
Continuing Employees shall, through December 31, 2003, be allowed to participate
without an increase in cost to such employees, in either the employee welfare
benefit plans or arrangements in which such employees participated immediately
prior to the Closing Date or in substantially similar employee benefit plans or
arrangements.

               (b) Buyer shall take all necessary actions to provide that, with
respect to any welfare benefits provided to Continuing Employees on or after the
Closing Date, (i) service accrued by Continuing Employees during employment with
the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date shall be recognized, to
the extent such service was recognized under comparable Company Plans, for
purposes of (A) eligibility for benefits and (B) application of any and all
pre-existing condition limitations and (ii) Continuing Employees shall be given
credit for amounts paid under a Company Plan during the applicable period for
purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as
though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the employee welfare plans in which any Continuing Employee becomes entitled to
participate; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.5(b) shall
require the payment of duplicative benefits. Further, nothing in this Section
6.5(b), whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Person who is not a
party to this Agreement, including any Continuing Employee, any right to
employment or recall, any right to

                                       33

<PAGE>

continued employment, any right to compensation or benefits, or any other right
of any kind or nature whatsoever.

          6.6 Certain Employees. On or before the date of this Agreement,
Sellers have entered into, caused the Company to enter into, or expressed an
intention to enter into or cause the Company to enter into employment, severance
or similar agreements (collectively, "Severance Agreements") with certain key
employees of the Foodservice Business, all of whom are listed on Schedule 6.6
(each a "Covered Employee"). The Severance Agreements provide, among other
things, for the payment of a severance benefit to each Covered Employee if his
or her employment is terminated on certain conditions. In the event that the
employment of a Covered Employee is terminated, directly or indirectly, by Buyer
on or before December 31, 2003, and the termination triggers the obligation to
pay a severance benefit under such Covered Employee's Severance Agreement,
Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay all severance benefits payable to such
Covered Employee and shall defend and indemnify Buyer with respect to the
payment as provided in Section 10.1. In the event that the employment of a
Covered Employee is terminated, directly or indirectly, by Buyer on or after
January 1, 2004, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable to such
Covered Employee under his or her Severance Agreement and shall defend and
indemnify Sellers with respect to the payment as provided in Section 10.2.

          6.7 Company 401(k) Plan. Sellers shall use their reasonable best
efforts to cause the operational failures of the Henry Lee Second Profit Sharing
Plan and Trust (the "Company 401(k) Plan") to be corrected prior to the Closing
Date through use of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System of the IRS
(the "EPCRS"). It is intended that the filing under the EPCRS be made by Sellers
before the Closing Date. To the extent that such failures have not been
corrected prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for the
reasonable costs of correcting such failures, including but not limited to any
fees or penalties assessed by the IRS and attorney fees. Sellers shall also
fully cooperate with Buyer to complete any corrections not made before the
Closing Date. Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its officers,
directors, employees and agents and Affiliates, from and against any and all
liabilities arising out of or related to the operational failures of the Company
401(k) Plan which occurred prior to the Closing Date.

          6.8 Real Property Consents. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer and
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, permits,
approvals and authorizations necessary to transfer the leases set forth on
Schedule 6.8 to Buyer as soon as is commercially practicable.

          6.9 Insurance Matters.

               (a) Sellers shall remit to Buyer or the Company any monies
received by Sellers under its insurance policies (net of deductibles) as a
result of any worker's compensation claims relating to the Company or the
Foodservice Business that arise out of events that occur on or prior to the
Closing Date. Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file
all worker's compensation claims relating to the Foodservice Business or the
Company that arise out of events that occur on or prior to the Closing Date.

                                       34

<PAGE>

               (b) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to
maintain and provide insurance policies for the Company (including, property,
general liability and workers compensation) that provide coverages that are
comparable to those provided to the Company prior to the Closing Date.

               (c) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for all
worker's compensation claims with respect to the Foodservice Business or the
Company (regardless of the date of occurrence or the date any such claim was
reported).

               (d) After the Closing Date, Sellers shall be responsible for all
insurance claims (other than worker's compensation claims) with respect to the
Foodservice Business or the Company that arise from events that occur on or
prior to the Closing Date and shall pay to Buyer any amounts that Buyer or the
Company is required to pay with respect to such claims to the extent such claims
exceed in the aggregate the reserve for such claims reflected as a current
liability on the Final Closing Financial Statement, which reserve shall not be
less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

               (e) Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with one another and use
their commercially reasonable efforts to assist each other in the administration
of any claim that is the responsibility of the other party under this Section
6.9.

          6.10 Tax Covenant. Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit its
Affiliates or the Company to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return
or change any accounting method relating in whole or in part to the Company with
respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before or which includes the
Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Sellers. Any refunds or
credits of Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax Return amended or
refiled by Sellers with respect to any taxable period ending on or before or
which includes the Closing Date shall be for the account of Sellers and, if
received by Buyer, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within 10 business days
after Buyer receives such refund or after the relevant Tax Return is filed in
which the credit is applied against Buyer's liability for Taxes. Any refunds or
credits of Taxes of the Company with respect to any taxable period beginning
after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer.

          6.11 Accounts Receivable Collection. Between the Closing Date and the
Accounts Receivable Settlement Date, Buyer shall follow consistent historical
practices (as practiced by Sellers) as set forth on Schedule 6.11 with respect
to determination of allowance for doubtful accounts, collection efforts,
continuous service and offering of extended payment terms to delinquent
customers and write-off of Accounts Receivable.

          6.12 Tax Matters.

               (a) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any tax sharing agreement between
Sellers and any of the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated as of the
Closing Date and will have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the
current year, a future year, or a past year).

               (b) Taxes of Other Persons. Each of the Sellers agrees to
indemnify the Buyer from and against any Losses the Buyer may suffer resulting
from, arising out of, relating

                                       35

<PAGE>

to, in the nature of, or caused by any liability of any of the Company and its
Subsidiaries for Taxes of any Person other than any of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (i) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar
provision of state, local, or foreign law), (ii) as a transferee or successor,
(iii) by contract, or (iv) otherwise.

               (c) Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date. SFI will
include the income of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the SFI consolidated
federal income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any
federal income Taxes attributable to such income. The Company and its
Subsidiaries will furnish Tax information to SFI for inclusion in SFI's federal
consolidated income Tax Return for the period which includes the Closing Date in
accordance with the Company's past custom and practice. SFI will take no
position on such returns that relate to the Company and its Subsidiaries that
would adversely affect the Company after the Closing Date. The income of the
Company and its Subsidiaries will be apportioned to the period up to and
including the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date by closing the
books of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the Closing Date.

               (d) Audits. SFI will allow the Company and its counsel to
participate at its own expense in any audits of SFI consolidated federal income
Tax Returns to the extent that such returns relate to the Company and its
Subsidiaries. SFI will not settle any such audit in a manner which would
adversely affect the Company after the Closing Date without the prior written
consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

               (e) Retention of Carryovers. SFI will not elect to retain any net
operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of the Company and its
Subsidiaries under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-20(g).

          6.13 Environmental Testing.

               (a) Subject to the conditions set forth herein, Sellers have the
right to conduct environmental testing, at their own expense, at any of the Real
Property by providing written notice to the Buyer within ninety (90) days after
the Closing Date. The Buyer and the Company agree to provide access to said Real
Property to Sellers and Sellers' consultants and contractors, and to reasonably
cooperate with Sellers and Sellers' consultants, with respect to said
environmental testing, including, but not limited to, providing all relevant
information to Sellers and their consultants and contractors relating to any
potential obstructions that may interfere with environmental testing or cause
property damage or personal injury.

               (b) If Sellers determine that they desire to conduct
environmental testing as set forth above, Sellers shall provide written notice
to Buyer at least five business days prior to the date Sellers desire to conduct
such environmental testing. Sellers' written notice shall include a copy of the
proposed sampling plan with respect to each property at which they proposed to
conduct testing. The sampling plan shall include, at a minimum, a reasonable
approximation of where samples will be collected; the environmental media to be
sampled; and the analyses which Sellers proposed to perform on said samples.

               (c) Prior to being allowed access to the Real Property, Sellers'
consultants or contractors shall provide to Buyer copies of insurance
certificates demonstrating

                                       36

<PAGE>

that said consultants or contractors have appropriate insurance (in amounts
consistent with customary industry standards) to insure against property damage
or personal injury claims that may result from the performance of the
environmental testing.

               (d) Sellers agree that they shall be responsible for ensuring
that after the completion of environmental testing, their consultants or
contractors shall restore the Real Property to its prior condition, including,
but not limited to, taking all steps required to properly abandon any monitoring
wells that have been installed in connection with the environmental testing.

               (e) Sellers agree that they shall promptly provide Buyer with
copies of any sampling results and related reports with respect to the
environmental testing conducted pursuant to this provision. Sellers also agree
that if, as a result of the environmental testing, reporting to a Governmental
Authority is required, Sellers shall notify Buyer prior to reporting its
findings to said Governmental Authority.

               (f) Buyer may accompany and monitor the environmental testing
performed by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.13, including, without
limitation, retaining, at its own expense, its own consultants, attorneys or
other professionals to monitor said environmental testing. In addition, Sellers
agree that they will allow Buyer to collect split samples at Buyer's request if
it is reasonably practicable given the amount of sample collected in any
particular instance.

not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions.

          7.2 Buyer's Performance. Buyer shall have performed in all material

                                   TERMINATION

          9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may, by notice given prior to
or at the Closing, be terminated:

               (a) By either Sellers or Buyer if a material breach of any
provision of this Agreement has occurred or been committed by the other party
and such breach has not been waived or cured within thirty (30) days of receipt
of written notice of such breach by the other party and failure to cure such
breach would have a Material Adverse Effect; or

               (b) By the mutual written consent of Buyer and Sellers; or

               (c) By either Buyer or Sellers if the Closing has not occurred
(other than through the failure of any party seeking to terminate this Agreement
to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before October
5, 2003 (the "Termination Date"), or at

                                       39

<PAGE>

Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement
or otherwise. Any exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of
remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further
obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the
obligations of Sections 12.1 and 12.3 will survive; provided, however, that if
this Agreement is terminated by a party because of a willful breach of the
Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the
terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a
result of the other party's willful failure to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will
survive such termination unimpaired.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          10.1 Indemnity by Sellers.

               (a) Sellers shall, from and after the Closing, jointly and
severally, indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
controlling persons, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") against and hold each of them
harmless from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified
Parties (whether originally asserted against or imposed on the Buyer Indemnified
Parties by a third party or originally incurred or suffered directly by the
Buyer Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of (i) any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by
Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the matters described in Schedule
10.1(a) and (iii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 10.8, Indemnified

               (b) Sellers' obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified
Parties pursuant to Section 10.1 are subject to the following limitations:

(A) No indemnification shall be made by Sellers unless the amount of Losses
under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Real Estate Purchase
Agreement for the Frozen Food Facility and Parking Lot,, and the Real Estate
Purchase Agreement for the Fort Lauderdale Store (as such term is defined in the
Asset Purchase Agreement) exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to $560,000,
it being understood that such amount shall be a "deductible" for Sellers (the
"Seller Deductible"); provided, however, that the Seller Deductible shall be
inapplicable to any Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties
as a result of (i) fraud by Sellers (as determined by a court of law), (ii)
Sellers' breach of the representation set forth in Section 2.3, (iii) Sellers'
failure to perform their covenants in Section 6.6, Section 6.7

                                       40

Asset Purchase Agreement, the Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the Frozen Food
Facility and Parking Lot and the Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the Fort
Lauderdale Store exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate.

          10.2 Indemnity by Buyer.

               (a) Buyer shall, from and after the Closing indemnify Sellers and
their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents
and representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller
Indemnified Parties") against and hold each of them harmless from any and all
Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (whether
originally asserted against or imposed on the Seller Indemnified Parties by a
third party or originally incurred or suffered directly by the Seller
Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement (such breach, a "Buyer Breach").

               (b) Buyer's obligations to indemnify the Seller Indemnified
Parties pursuant to Section 10.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(A) No indemnification shall be made by Buyer unless the amount of Losses under
this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Real Estate Purchase Agreement
for the Frozen Food Facility and Parking Lot and the Real Estate Purchase
Agreement for the Fort Lauderdale Store exceed in the aggregate an amount equal
to $560,000, it being understood that such amount shall be a "deductible" for
Buyer (the "Buyer Deductible"); provided, however, that the Buyer Deductible
shall be inapplicable to any Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller
Indemnified Parties as a result of fraud by Buyer (as determined by a court of
law) and (B) in no event shall Buyer's obligations to indemnify the Seller
Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Real
Estate Purchase Agreement for the Frozen Food Facility and Parking Lot and the
Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the Fort Lauderdale Store exceed Fifty
Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate.

          10.3 Procedure and Payment.

               (a) The person seeking indemnification under Section 10.1, and
10.2 (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice to the Person
against whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of
any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under such Section and will provide the
Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying
Party may reasonably request. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to
the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.

               (b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying
Party notifies the

                                       41

<PAGE>

Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified
Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the
Indemnified Party from and against all Losses that the Indemnified Party may
suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the Third Party
Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will
have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill
its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Third Party
Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other
equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to,
the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified
Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse
to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party and (v) the
Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and
diligently.

               (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3,
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such
Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose.
The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified
Party.

               (d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall
furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and
attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as
may be reasonably requested by any other party in connection therewith.

          10.4 Calculation of Losses.

               (a) The amount of any Losses payable under Section 10.1 and 10.2
by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the
Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies and the Indemnified Party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under
such insurance policies.

               (b) If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
coverage or from a third party with respect to Losses at any time subsequent to
any indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.1
and 10.2, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying
Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in
connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by
such Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified
Party in collecting such amount.

               (c) In no event shall either Buyer or Sellers be liable to the
other party for any consequential damages unless such amounts are actually paid
or awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim.

               (d) The parties hereto shall treat any indemnity payment made
under this Agreement and any payment made as a result of any Final Uncollected
Accounts Receivable as

                                       42

<PAGE>

an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless required by law to treat such payment
as other than an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

               (e) The parties shall take into account the time value of money
(using a variable rate equal to the prime rate of interest as published in the
Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal) in determining Losses for
purposes of this Article X beginning the day after notice of an indemnification
claim is made.

          10.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Absent
fraud by Sellers (as determined by a court of law), all representations and
warranties made by Sellers in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a
period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, except for (a) the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.19 and 2.21, which shall
survive for one (1) month after the maximum period permitted by law and (b) the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.3, which shall survive
indefinitely; provided, however, that any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement pertaining to a claim for which Buyer shall have given written notice
to Sellers describing in reasonable detail the facts relating to such claim on
or prior to the expiration of the applicable period specified above shall
survive (solely for the purpose of resolving such claim) until the resolution of
such claim.

          10.6 Survival of Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Absent fraud
by Buyer (as determined by a court of law), all representations and warranties
made by Buyer in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of two
(2) years after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement pertaining to a claim for which Sellers shall
have given written notice to Buyer describing in reasonable detail the facts
relating to such claim on or prior to the expiration of the period specified
above shall survive (solely for the purpose of resolving such claim) until the
resolution of such claim.

          10.7 Escrow. Payments (under this Article X) to be made to the Buyer
Indemnified Parties as a result of Losses arising out of the breaches of
representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers shall be made pursuant to
the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

          10.8 Indemnified Environmental Matters.

               (a) (1) Sellers hereby agree to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified
Parties in respect of any and all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified
Parties, including, without limitation, Losses relating to Remediation or for
third party claims for property damage or personal injury, in connection with
Hazardous Substances that were disposed of or released into soils, groundwater,
surface water, sediments or similar environmental media, prior to the Closing
Date, at any of the real property that is or has been owned, leased or operated
by the Company (the "Real Property").

          (2) Sellers hereby agree to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties
with respect to any fines and penalties that may be asserted against Buyer
Indemnified Parties with respect to any violation of applicable Environmental
Law by the Company prior to the Closing Date, including, but not limited, any
fines and penalties that may be asserted with respect to a release of ammonia
from the facility located at 2850 NW 120th Street, Miami, Florida that was
reported

                                       43

<PAGE>

in June 2003. For purposes of clarification, the indemnity set forth herein does
not include any costs or expenses associated with any corrective actions that
may be required with respect to such violations or release of ammonia.

          (3) The matters described in Sections 10.8(a)(1) and (2) are the
"Indemnified Environmental Matters."

               (b) Sellers' obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified
Parties with respect to the Indemnified Environmental Matters shall be subject
to the provisions of Article X, including, without limitation, Section 10.1(b)
and Section 10.8. Furthermore, any matter subject to indemnity pursuant to
Section 10.1(a) which by its nature also falls within the scope of Section
10.8(a)(1) or 10.8(a)(2) also shall be governed by the provisions of Section
10.8 to the extent applicable.

               (c) (1) With respect to the matters identified in Section
10.8(a)(1) that relate to Remediation of Real Property, Sellers shall only be
required to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties with
respect to such Indemnified Environmental Matters to the extent that: (A) the
Remediation of the Hazardous Substances is required pursuant to an applicable
Environmental Law that is in effect as of the Closing; (B) the Remediation
Standards applicable to the Remediation are the least stringent Remediation
Standards that would be applicable based on the use of the Real Property as of
the Closing Date; and (C) the Remediation shall be conducted in a reasonable,
cost effective manner consistent with applicable Environmental Law. Buyer
Indemnified Parties agree that they shall accept appropriate engineering
controls or institutional controls, including, if necessary, deed restrictions
or limitations on the drilling and use of water wells, if such controls are
needed in order for the parties to complete a Remediation consistent with the
use of the least stringent Remediation Standards; provided, that Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall not be obligated to accept engineering or
institutional controls that unreasonably interfere with Buyer Indemnified
Parties' operations on the Real Property if such operations are materially the
same as the operations of the Company as of the Closing Date on said properties.

          (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall
have no obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified
Parties to the extent that any Remediation with respect to such Indemnified
Environmental Matters results from the cessation of all or substantially all of
the operations at the Real Property or a material change in the use of the Real
Property.

               (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect
to claims arising pursuant to Section 10.8, Sellers shall not be obligated to
indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties for any costs or expenses of Buyer
Indemnified Parties related to the time spent on any indemnified matter by
employees or management of Buyer Indemnified Parties.

               (e) If Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their affiliates
intend to sell, lease, sublease or otherwise convey the Real Property, Buyer
Indemnified Parties or said affiliate shall include, as a condition of such
sale, lease, sublease or other agreement terms and conditions that will ensure
that any institutional or engineering controls that have been accepted with
respect to the Real Property are not disturbed (or, if such controls will be
disturbed, will be

                                       44

<PAGE>

restored at the expense of the party causing the disturbance or, if additional
Remediation is required as a result of the disturbance of such controls, that
such additional Remediation will be performed at the sole cost and expense of
the party causing the disturbance).

               (f) For purposes of this Agreement: (1) the term "Remediation
Standard" means a numerical or narrative standard (whether resulting from an
enacted statute, promulgated regulation, guidance or policy document issued by a
regulatory agency, or developed on a case-by-case basis through a risk
assessment or other methodology authorized pursuant to an applicable
Environmental Law) that defines the concentrations of Hazardous Substances that
may be permitted to remain in any environmental media after an investigation,
remediation or containment of a release of Hazardous Substances; and (2) the
term "Remediation" means any action of any kind to investigate and/or clean up a
release of Hazardous Substances into an environmental medium, including, but not
limited to, the following activities: (A) monitoring, investigation, assessment,
treatment, cleanup, containment, removal, mitigation, response or restoration
work; (B) obtaining any permits, consents, approvals or authorizations of any
governmental authority necessary to conduct any such activity; (C) preparing and
implementing any plans or studies for any such activity; and (D) obtaining a
written notice from a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the site
being investigated and/or cleaned up under Environmental Laws that no additional
work is required by such Governmental Authority.

               (g) (1) Buyer Indemnified Parties, consistent with the provisions
of this Section 10.8, shall be entitled to control Remediations with respect to
the Indemnified Environmental Matters to the extent that such Remediations are
necessary. Buyer Indemnified Parties shall promptly provide copies to Sellers of
all notices, correspondence, draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final
reports. Buyer Indemnified Parties shall provide Sellers a reasonable
opportunity (at Sellers' own expense) to comment on any submissions Buyer
Indemnified Parties intend to deliver or submit to the appropriate regulatory
body prior to said submission. Further, Buyer Indemnified Parties and Sellers
agree to work together in good faith to agree on the legal, regulatory,
investigatory and remedial strategy and actions with respect to such
Remediations. Sellers may, at their own expense, hire their own consultants,
attorneys or other professionals to monitor the work performed by Buyer
Indemnified Parties, including any field work undertaken by Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the above, Sellers shall not take any actions that shall
unreasonably interfere with Buyer Indemnified Parties. If Buyer Indemnified
Parties' performance of any Remediation with respect to Indemnified
Environmental Matters does not substantially conform with the requirements of
this section, including, without limitation, Section 10.8(c), Sellers shall have
no obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties
with respect to the Indemnified Environmental Matters.

          (2) Buyer Indemnified Parties acknowledge that with respect to the
former underground storage tank areas and/or former fuel dispenser areas at 3301
NW 125th Street, Miami, Florida) (the "Dry Warehouse Facility"), the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP") has or may have issued no
further action letters or their equivalent in March 1994 and December 1995.
Accordingly, it is possible that the levels of Hazardous Substances detected in
the environment in or in the vicinity of these areas in the Phase I/II
Environmental Site Assessment, dated July 24, 2003, prepared by Hydro-Logic
Associates, Inc., on behalf of Buyer Indemnified Parties, may be consistent with
the prior approvals of the FDEP.

                                       45

<PAGE>

To the extent that the Hazardous Substances detected at the former underground
storage tank area and/or the former fuel dispensers at the Dry Warehouse are
consistent with prior approvals from the FDEP, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall
not have a right to indemnification from Sellers with respect to any areas that
are covered by such prior approvals.

          (3) Buyer Indemnified Parties acknowledge that with respect to the
former underground storage tanks and fuel dispensing areas at 3505 NW 125th
Street, Miami, Florida ("Truck Maintenance Facility"), the Truck Maintenance
Facility is on a ranked waiting list for state funded cleanup activities.
Accordingly, Buyer Indemnified Parties agree that no action will be required
with respect to the findings in the Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessment,
dated July 24, 2003, prepared by Hydro-Logic Associates, Inc., in connection
with the Truck Maintenance Facility, to the extent that such findings are
covered by the Truck Maintenance Facility's listing on the state waiting list,
until such time as the FDEP or such other relevant governmental agency approves
funding for the Remediation of such site.

          (4) In addition to any other limitations on Buyer Indemnified Parties'
right to indemnification with respect to the Indemnified Environmental Matters,
Sellers' obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified
Parties with respect to the Indemnified Environmental Matters shall terminate at
such time as the aggregate limits set forth in Section 10.8(b) have been reached
or, with respect to any individual Environmental Matter, a no further action
letter or equivalent approval has been issued by the FDEP, Dade County
Environmental Resources Management or other relevant Governmental Authority,
whichever comes first.

               (h) Exclusive Remedy for Environmental Matters; Indemnification
by Buyer.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer
Indemnified Parties hereby agree that their sole and exclusive remedy against
Sellers and their officers, managers, members, employees, Affiliates, successors
and assigns) (collectively, the "Seller Parties"), with respect to any and all
matters arising under or related to Environmental Law or Hazardous Substances,
in connection with the Company, shall be the indemnity set forth in this Section
10.8 and a claim for breach of representation pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(i).
Except with respect to the remedy referred to in the preceding sentence, the
Buyer Indemnified Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, and forever release the Seller Parties, in connection with the
Company, and indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties against, any and all
claims or Losses arising under or related to Environmental Laws, Hazardous
Substances or the environment.

after the Closing, all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between
or among any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed
to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement
Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

               (a) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a mediation
conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of any Agreement
Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in the manner set forth
in Section 12.4 hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or parties
setting forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be sought and
shall submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative mediation in
Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under
the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in effect on
the date of this Agreement,

                                       60

<PAGE>

unless the parties have agreed, in writing, to resolve any such dispute by other
means. Each party agrees that it will submit to and shall not challenge or
object to the jurisdiction (either personal or subject matter) or the venue of
such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (b) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after submission
thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action or an action at
equity to enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or recover any
damages arising from the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
appropriate under the circumstances.

               (c) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to an
Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief in the state or
federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.5 without
having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question to mediation as
hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall not seek any
monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its failure to do
so would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek such monetary award or
relief in another action or proceeding.

          12.16 Supplemental Disclosure. Sellers shall have the right from time
to time up to seven (7) days prior to the Closing to supplement or amend the
disclosure schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if
existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be
set forth or described in such disclosure schedule. Any such supplemental or
amended disclosure shall be deemed to have cured any breach of any
representation or warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of Article X, but
will not be deemed to have cured any such breach made in this Agreement or to
have been disclosed as of the date of this Agreement for purposes of Article
VIII.

          12.17 Reliance. All covenants, warranties and representations made
herein by any party (including the disclosures made on the Schedules hereto)
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the other party notwithstanding any
investigation or actual knowledge of such by the other party.

          12.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Buyers,
the Sellers and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

          1. Appointment of Escrow Agent.

               (a) The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed escrow agent in
accordance with the instructions set forth in this Agreement and hereby agrees
to act as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no
duty to enforce any provision hereof requiring performance by any other party
hereunder.

               (b) The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow
Fund.

               (c) The Escrow Agent shall not have any interest in the Escrow

amounts under the Escrow Fund.

          2. Distribution of Purchase Price Escrow Deposit. The Buyers and the
Sellers shall, not more than five (5) business days after the final

<PAGE>

the Asset Purchase Agreement and/or Article X of the Share Purchase Agreement
(as applicable), on behalf of themselves or another Buyer Indemnified Party, for
up to all of the Indemnity Escrow Deposit (a "Claim") by delivering to the
Escrow Agent a certificate (a "Claim Certificate") signed by authorized officers
of the Buyers stating:

               (a) That the Buyers or another Buyer Indemnified Party are
entitled to be indemnified under Section 10.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and/or Section 10.1 of the Share Purchase Agreement (as applicable);

               (b) The reasons therefore, set forth in reasonable detail;

               (c) The amount of the Claim by the Buyers or such other Buyer
Indemnified Party, provided, however, that where the amount of the Claim is not
a liquidated sum, the amount of the Claim shall be the amount reasonably
estimated by the Buyers in good faith; and

               (d) That the Buyers have delivered a copy of such Claim
Certificate to the Sellers and their legal counsel and the date on which such
copy was delivered.

          Whenever a Claim Certificate is delivered to the Escrow Agent, the
Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly deliver a copy to the Sellers and their
legal counsel.

          4. Disputed Claims With Respect to the Indemnity Escrow Deposit. The
Sellers may dispute any Claim in whole or in part (hereinafter a "Disputed
Claim"), by delivering to the Escrow Agent a written notice (an "Objection
Notice") within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Claim Certificate from the
Buyers stating:

               (a) That the Sellers dispute or object in good faith to such
Claim in whole or in part;

               (b) A reasonably detailed description of the reasons for such
good faith objection or dispute;

               (c) That the Sellers have delivered a copy of the Objection
Notice to the Buyers and their legal counsel and the date on which such copy was
delivered;

               (d) The portion of the Claim set forth in the Claim Certificate
to which there is a good faith dispute or objection, including a reasonable
estimate of the dollar amount of such portion of the Claim (the "Disputed Claims
Amount"); and

               (e) The portion of the Claim set forth in the Claim Certificate,
if any, to which there is no dispute or objection, including a reasonable
estimate of the dollar amount of such portion of the Claim (hereinafter referred
to as an "Undisputed Claim").

          Whenever there shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent an Objection
Notice, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly deliver a copy to the Buyers
and their legal counsel.

                                       3

<PAGE>

          5. Payment of Claims With Respect to the Indemnity Escrow Deposit.

               (a) If the Escrow Agent does not receive an Objection Notice
within twenty (20) days of the date that the Sellers receive a Claim Certificate
from the Buyers, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly pay to the Buyers
from the Indemnity Escrow Deposit an amount equal to the amount of the Claim
specified in the Claim Certificate plus interest on the amount so paid, computed
from the date of the Claim Certificate.

               (b) If the Escrow Agent receives from the Sellers an Objection
Notice which consents or agrees to all or part, or does not dispute a portion,
of a Claim, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly pay to the Buyers from the
Indemnity Escrow Deposit an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such
Undisputed Claim as specified in such notice from the Sellers plus interest on
the amount so paid, computed from the date of the Claim Certificate.

               (c) If the Indemnity Escrow Deposit is not sufficient to pay in
full any amounts payable to the Buyers under the preceding Section 5(a) or 5(b),
the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Buyers the full amount of the Indemnity Escrow
Deposit and all interest thereon and this escrow shall thereupon terminate.

          6. Distribution of Indemnity Escrow Deposit. Except as provided in
Section 5 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall not make any distribution of the
Indemnity Escrow Deposit with respect to any Claim made by the Buyers hereunder
until:

               (a) it receives the written consent or agreement from the Sellers
with respect to such distribution; or

               (b) there is a Final Decision with respect to a Disputed Claim.
As used herein, "Final Decision" means a resolution of the Disputed Claim by
facilitative mediation pursuant to Section 12.15 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and/or Section 12.15 of the Share Purchase Agreement (as the case may be) or, if
the Disputed Claim is not resolved by facilitative mediation, a final decision,
order, judgment or decree of a court having jurisdiction which is either not
subject to appeal or as to which notice of appeal has not been timely filed or
served.

          7. Administration of Escrow.

               (a) So long as the Escrow Fund is held in escrow, it shall be
invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent solely in Investments, pursuant to
written instructions signed by the Buyers and the Sellers. Neither the Escrow
Agent, the Buyers, nor the Sellers shall be liable or responsible for any loss
resulting from any investment or reinvestment made pursuant to this Section
7(a). All investments of the Escrow Fund shall be held by, or registered in the
name of, Escrow Agent or its nominee.

               As used herein "Investments" means:

                    (i) direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed
     by, the United States of America or any agency thereof with any residual
     amount being invested in the Federal Treasury Obligations Money Market
     Fund;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                    (ii) any taxable publicly traded money market fund;

                    (iii) certificates of deposit whether negotiable or
     nonnegotiable, issued by any bank, trust company or national banking
     association, including the Escrow Agent, provided that such certificates of
     deposit shall (A) be issued by a bank, trust company or national banking
     association having a capital stock and surplus of more than Five Hundred
     Million Dollars ($500,000,000), (B) be fully insured by the Federal Deposit
     Insurance Corporation or (C) be fully and continuously secured by direct
     obligations of, or obligations unconditionally guaranteed by, the United
     States of America, which (1) shall have a market value (exclusive of
     accrued interest) at all times at least equal to the principal amount of
     such certificates of deposit, (2) shall be lodged with the Escrow Agent (or
     any correspondent bank or trust company designated by the Escrow Agent), as
     custodian, by the bank, trust company or national banking association
     issuing such certificate of deposit, and (3) the bank, trust company or
     national banking association issuing each certificate of deposit required
     to be so secured shall furnish the Escrow Agent with an undertaking
     satisfactory to it that the aggregate market value of such obligations
     securing each such certificate of deposit will at all times be an amount
     equal to the principal amount of each such certificate of deposit (and the
     Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such undertaking); or

                    (iv) in the absence of written direction, the Escrow Fund
     may be invested in Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market, a money market
     fund.

               (b) Maturities or unexpired terms of maturities of instruments in
which the Escrow Fund is invested shall not exceed ninety (90) days. The Escrow
Agent is authorized to sell any such Investments as may be required to make any
payment required to be made under this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not
be liable for any loss due to early redemption. In the event that no written
instructions are given by the Buyers and the Sellers as to any uninvested
portion of the Escrow Fund, such portion shall be invested by the Escrow Agent
in United States treasury bills for a thirty (30) day period; provided, however
that if such period is not available, such portion shall be invested for the
closest period of shorter duration.

               (c) Not less than ten (10) nor more than fifteen (15) business
days prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deliver
to the Buyers and the Sellers a report outlining (i) the total amount of the
Escrow Fund as of such date and the total amount of interest earned on the
Escrow Fund prior thereto and not distributed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and (ii) copies of or a description of all Claim Certificates pursuant
to which payments from the Escrow Fund have been made and a description of all
other payments made from the Escrow Fund during the preceding twenty-three (23)
month period and all pending Claim Certificates as of such date.

               (d) At the prior written request of either the Buyers or the
Sellers at any time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Buyers and the
Sellers such information as shall be

                                       5

<PAGE>

reasonably requested with respect to the Escrow Fund and any interest earned
thereon or payments made therefrom.

               (e) Net profits resulting from, and interest and income produced
by investments of, the Escrow Fund shall be deemed a part of the Escrow Fund and
reinvested by Escrow Agent.

          8. Reliance. Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or other writing
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the
proper person or persons and shall not be liable in connection with the
performance by it of its duties pursuant to the provisions hereof, except for
its own bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Buyers on
the one hand and the Sellers on the other shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Escrow Agent for one half (1/2) of all losses, costs, and expenses which may be
incurred by it without bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its
entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder. Such
indemnification provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the removal or resignation of the Escrow Agent.

          9. Distribution of Funds; Termination of Escrow. Unless earlier
terminated pursuant to Section 5(c):

               On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Indemnity
Escrow Deposit held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
less (i) all amounts previously distributed pursuant to Section 5 hereof and
(ii) an amount equal to One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Disputed Claims Amount
(including, for purposes hereof, all Claims with respect to which the Sellers
have not submitted an Objection Notice), shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to
the Sellers for the benefit of the Sellers, together with any interest and
income earned on the funds so distributed.

               Upon settlement of all Disputed Claims outstanding as of the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, this escrow shall thereupon terminate,
and the remainder of the Indemnity Escrow Deposit held by the Escrow Agent after
any payment due to the Buyers shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers
for the benefit of the Sellers, together with any interest and income earned on
the funds so distributed, in accordance with such settlement, written notice of
which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent.

          10. Fees and Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
compensation for its services as stated in the schedule attached as Annex I,
which compensation shall be paid one-half (1/2) by the Sellers and one-half
(1/2) by the Buyers. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is
intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent's services as contemplated by
this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the
disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow
Agent tenders any material service not contemplated in this Agreement or there
is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement not
contemplated herein, or any material modification hereof, or if any material
controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any
litigation pertaining to this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the
Escrow Agent shall

                                       6

<PAGE>

be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, occasioned by any delay,
controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable one-half
(1/2) from the Sellers and one-half (1/2) from the Buyers.

          11. Liability of the Escrow Agent.

               (a) The Escrow Agent shall hold, invest and disburse the Escrow
Fund and any interest, dividends, or other income accrued thereon only in
accordance with (a) this Agreement or (b) written instructions accompanied by a
certificate signed by the Buyers and the Sellers confirming that such written
instructions are being given in conformity with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall not be bound in any way by, or be deemed to have knowledge of, the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement or any other agreement
between or among the parties hereto, other than this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall have no duties other than those expressly imposed on it herein and shall
not be liable with respect to any action taken by it, or any failure on its part
to act, except to the extent that such actions constitute a breach of this
Agreement, bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

               (b) The Escrow Agent makes no representations and has no
responsibility as to the validity, genuineness or sufficiency of any of the
documents or instruments delivered to it hereunder. Subject to Section 11(a)
hereof, the Escrow Agent (i) shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment,
certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it
hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the
correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the
service thereof and (ii) may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person
purporting to give notice, receipt or advice or make any statement or execute
any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized
to do so. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon the written advice of
counsel satisfactory to it in reference to any matter in connection with this
Agreement and shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith
in accordance with such written advice.

               (c) In the event of any disagreement between the other parties
hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the
Escrow Fund, or in the event that the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as
to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from acting until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a final
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of
the amount of the Escrow Fund in dispute or (ii) written instructions jointly
executed by the Sellers and the Buyers directing delivery of the amount of the
Escrow Fund in dispute, in which event the Escrow Agent shall deliver the amount
of the Escrow Fund in dispute in accordance with such order or instructions. Any
court order referred to in clause (i) above shall be accompanied by a legal
opinion by counsel for the presenting party reasonably satisfactory to the
Escrow Agent to the effect that said order or determination is final and
nonappealable. The Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinion
without further questions.

          12. Resignation; Removal.

               (a) The Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days advance
written notice to the parties. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by
the mutual agreement of the Buyers and the Sellers within the thirty (30) day
period following such notice, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction to name a successor escrow agent or may tender into the
registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any part or all of
the Escrow Fund, whereupon Escrow Agent's duties hereunder shall terminate.

               (b) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to its compensation earned
prior to its resignation hereunder.

               (c) The Buyers and the Sellers may, at any time substitute a new
escrow agent by giving thirty (30) days notice thereof to the existing Escrow
Agent and paying all fees and expenses of such Escrow Agent incurred to the date
of the substitution. Upon the effective date of the substitution of a successor
escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall deposit all of the Escrow Fund with such
successor.

          13. Tax Reporting.

               (a) Any payments of income from the Escrow Fund shall be subject
to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes.
For federal and state income tax purposes, all interest earned on the Escrow
Fund shall be considered the currently reportable income of the party who
receives the distribution with respect thereto. The Escrow Agent shall file
annually all information returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other
governmental authorities documenting such interest income.

               (b) Prior to Closing, the Buyers and the Sellers shall provide
the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing
appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent
may reasonably request. The Buyers and the Sellers understand that if such tax
reporting documentation is not so certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow
Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to
withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of
monies or other property held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

               (c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the
payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of funds
held or payments made hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability
to the extent possible from the Escrow Fund. The Buyers and the Sellers agree to
indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any taxes,
additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses that may be
assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to any payment or other
activities under this Agreement unless any such tax addition for late payment,
interest, penalties and other expenses shall arise out of or be caused by the
actions of, or failure to act by, the Escrow Agent.

          14. Miscellaneous Provisions.

               (a) Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate,
the "Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective authorized
agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers, directors,
accountants, counsel and other designated representatives (collectively,
"Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or
provide access to any person to) all records, books, contracts, instruments,
computer data and other data and information (collectively, "Information")
concerning the other party (the "Promisee") and the Escrow Fund in the
Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its Representatives
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor or its
Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such Information,
provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the
Promisee may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with
this Section 14(a), and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee waives compliance with this Section
14(a), furnish only that portion of such Information which is legally required
to be provided and exercise Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that
confidential treatment will be accorded such Information; provided, however,
that this sentence shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of
disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this
Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however,
that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party
from disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such Information)
or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with any governmental
authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and
acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this
Section 14(a) are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall
be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of
demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this Section
14(a) shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required to be
disclosed by applicable law.

               (b) Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every case
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b)
upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, in
all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) the next
business day if delivered by a recognized overnight courier service, airbill
prepaid, designated for next business day delivery, to the parties at the
addresses as set forth below or at such other addresses as may be furnished in

               (c)      Jurisdiction.

                    (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal
court in the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then
each of the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of
any state court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees
that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion
or other request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted
pursuant to this Section 14(c), it will not bring any action relating to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other
court other than a federal court in the state of Delaware.

                    (2) In the event the state court specified in Section
14(c)(1) refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject
matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by
any of the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
     the jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
     jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District
     of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to
     be a convenient forum; and

                                       11

<PAGE>

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
     defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
     federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
     for the Western District of Michigan or any state court in the state of
     Michigan, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

                    (3) In the event the state court specified in Section
14(c)(1) refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject
matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by
any of the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
     the jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
     jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District
     of California or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed
     to be a convenient forum; and

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
     defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
     federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
     for the Central District of California or any state court in the state of
     California, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

                    (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

               (d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the
other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the
parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents
and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in
order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

               (e) Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this
Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay
by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right,
power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To
the maximum extent

                                       12

<PAGE>

permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement
or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party,
in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in
writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party
will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and
(c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any
obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or
demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

               (f) Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes
all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not
be amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties to be charged
with the amendment.

               (g) Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither
party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior consent of the other parties, except that (i) GFS Holding may assign
any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding, and (ii)
any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Escrow Agent shall be the successor of the
Escrow Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will
apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing
expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person
other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy,
or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors
and assigns.

               (h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

               (i) Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in
this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its
construction or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer
to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in
this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the
circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word "including"

hereto are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

               (k) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws
principles.

               (l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement
will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

               (m) Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this
Section 14(m) all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or
among any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed
to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement
Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

                    (1) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement
Dispute shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a
mediation conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of any
Agreement Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in the manner
set forth in Section 14(b) hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or
parties setting forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be
sought and shall submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative
mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not
otherwise under the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the
"AAA") in effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed,
in writing, to resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that
it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction (either
personal or subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

                    (2) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after submission
thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action or an action at
equity to enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or recover any
damages arising from the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
appropriate under the circumstances.

                    (3) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in
any mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to
an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

                    (4) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief in the state or
federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 14(c) of Delaware
without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question to
mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall not
seek any monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its
failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights

                                       14

<PAGE>

or ability to seek such monetary award or relief in another action or
proceeding.

               (n) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers and Escrow Agent have executed
this Agreement as of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

<PAGE>

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the recitals set forth above and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

          1. Non-Competition.

               (a) Definition of Competitor. As used in this Agreement,
"Competitor" means any person, corporation, partnership, association, joint
venture or other organization or entity that now or hereafter engages in or
attempts to engage in any aspect of the Business in the states of Florida,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, or any aspect of the foodservice business
in the Caribbean, Central America or South America (specifically excluding
Mexico from this definition) (the "Territory").

               (b) Covenant Not To Compete. The Sellers covenant and agree that
they will not, during the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), directly or
indirectly:

                    (i) engage in, continue in, or carry on, invest in, own,
manage, operate, finance or control, or participate in the ownership,
management, operation, finance or control, of any business that competes in any
aspect of the Business in the Territory, including, without limitation, owning
or controlling any financial interest in any Competitor in the Territory; or

                    (ii) be retained by, employed by, consult with, advise or
assist in any way, whether or not for consideration, any Competitor in any
aspect of the Business in the Territory; or

                    (iii) neither for itself or any other Person, induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of
Buyers or any entity controlled by or under common control with any Buyer entity
that may subsequently operate the Business to cease doing business with Buyers
with respect to the Business in the Territory or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of
Buyers with respect to the Business in the Territory;

                    (iv) neither for itself or any other Person, solicit the
business of any Person known to be a customer of Buyers with respect to the
Business in the Territory, whether or not Sellers had prior contact with such
Person; or

                    (v) engage in any practice the purpose of which is to evade
the provisions of this covenant not to compete;

provided, however, that the none of the foregoing shall prohibit the ownership
of securities of a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange
or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount that does not
exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any such corporation.

                                       2

<PAGE>

          2. Term.

               (a) The covenants stated in Section 1 (the "Covenants") shall be
effective from the date of this Agreement to and including the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Closing Date of the Share Purchase Agreement (the
"Non-Competition Period").

               (b) In the event of a material breach by Sellers of any covenant
set forth above, the Noncompetition Period shall be extended by the amount of
time during which such breach continues.

          3. Remedies. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or
otherwise afforded to Buyers and their respective successors and assigns, shall
be cumulative and not alternative. Sellers acknowledge and agree that the
provisions and restrictions contained in Sections 1 and 2 are not overbroad, are
not overlong, and are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate continuing
business interests of Buyers, that any violation or breach of such provisions
and restrictions will result in irreparable injury to Buyers for which a remedy
at law would be inadequate and that, in addition to any relief for damages that
may be available to Buyers for such violation or breach, and regardless of any
other provision contained in this Agreement, Buyers shall be entitled to such
injunctive and other equitable relief as a court may grant after considering the
intent of Sections 1 and 2.

          4. Enforceability. If any court determines that any of the Covenants,
or any parts thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the other Covenants and the
remainder of any of the Covenants so impaired shall not thereby be affected and
shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court
determines that any of the Covenants, or any parts thereof, are unenforceable
because of the duration or geographic scope thereof, the parties agree that the
duration or geographic scope of such Covenants, or any parts thereof, shall be
the maximum duration or geographic scope, as the case may be, provided by law,
of such Covenants, and, in such reduced form, such Covenants shall then be
enforceable.

          5. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every case
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b)
upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, in
all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) the next
business day if delivered by a recognized overnight courier service, airbill
prepaid, designated for next business day delivery, to the parties at the
addresses as set forth below or at such other addresses as may be furnished in
writing:

          6. Jurisdiction.

               (a) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court in
the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then each of
the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state
court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted pursuant
to this Section 6, it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other
than a federal court in the state of Delaware.

               (b) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
     any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a convenient
     forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western
     District of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan, any claim
     that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (c) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Central District of California
     or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
     convenient forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central
     District of California or any state court in the state of California, any
     claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (d) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then in addition to the jurisdictions available to the parties under
Sections 6(b) and 6(c) above, any party also may commence a proceeding for
damages or equitable relief for alleged breach of this Agreement in any state or
federal court of the jurisdiction where the alleged breach occurs.

               (e) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

                                       5

<PAGE>

          7. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the other
party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the parties
hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents and
take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in order
to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

          8. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the
documents referred to in the Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          9. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete
and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with
respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a
written agreement executed by the parties to be charged with the amendment.

          10. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of
the other parties except that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the
benefit of the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right,
remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
successors and assigns.

          11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid
or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in
full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

          12. Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this
Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction
or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer to the
corresponding Section or

                                       6

<PAGE>

Sections of this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed
to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. Unless otherwise
expressly provided, the word "including" does not limit the preceding words or
terms.

          13. Preamble; Recitals. The Recitals set forth in the Preamble hereto
are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

          14. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

          15. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will
be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

          16. Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
16, all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or among any of
the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement, including claims
by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed to perform any of
their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement Disputes"), shall be
resolved as follows:

               (a) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a mediation
conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of any Agreement
Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in the manner set forth
in Section 5 hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or parties setting
forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be sought and shall
submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative mediation in
Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under
the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in effect on
the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in writing, to
resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that it will submit
to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction (either personal or
subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (b) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after submission
thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action or an action at
equity to enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or recover any
damages arising from the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
appropriate under the circumstances.

               (c) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to an
Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable

                                       7

<PAGE>

relief in the state or federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Section 6 without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question
to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall
not seek any monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its
failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek such

                   SOFTWARE LICENSE, USE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

          THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE, USE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"),
effective as of the 7th day of September, 2003, is made by and between SMART &
FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), AMERICAN FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a
California corporation ("AFD"), SMART & FINAL STORES CORPORATION, a California
corporation ("SF Stores" and, together with SFI and AFD, the "Licensors"), and
GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation ("GFSH"), HENRY LEE COMPANY, a Florida
corporation ("Henry Lee"), GFS ORLANDO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("GFS Orlando"), and GFS STORES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("GFS Stores" and, together with GFSH, Henry Lee and GFS Orlando, the
"Licensees").

                                    RECITALS

     A. SFI is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding equity securities of AFD and SF Stores. SF Stores is engaged in the
retail food store business in the State of Florida and operates from several
locations within that state (the "Retail Store Business").

     B. AFD is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Henry Lee, through which AFD conducts a foodservice
distribution business in the State of Florida (the "Foodservice Business").

     C. In addition to the Foodservice Business, AFD also operates, among other
things, a fresh meat processing business in the State of Florida under the name
"Orlando Food Service" (the "Meat Processing Business" and, together with the
Retail Store Business and the Foodservice Business, the "Florida Business").

     D. Licensors have historically used both proprietary and commercially
available computer software from their California operations in the conduct of
the Florida Business. Licensors have also provided technical support to the
Florida Business with respect to this software.

     E. Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 6, 2003 (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), GFSH is on the date of this Agreement acquiring from SFI
and AFD all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Henry Lee.

     F. In a separate related transaction, GFSH's wholly-owned subsidiaries, GFS
Orlando and GFS Stores, will acquire from AFD and SF Stores, respectively,
substantially all of the assets used or useful in the operation of the Meat
Processing Business and the Retail Store Business pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated August 6, 2003 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement" and, together
with the Share Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Agreements").

     G. One of the conditions to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
each of the Purchase Agreements is the granting by Licensors to Licensees of a
fee-free license to use the

<PAGE>

Smart & Final proprietary computer software identified on the attached Exhibit A
(the "Licensor Proprietary Software"), as well as the right to use certain
third-party computer operating systems (the "OEM Software" and, together with
the Licensor Proprietary Software, the "Software") identified on the attached
Exhibit A used in the conduct of the Florida Business, under Licensors' licenses
with the third-party vendors, for a limited period of time. This Agreement does
not operate to grant any license in the OEM Software. This Agreement is being
entered into by the parties as required by the Purchase Agreements.

                                    AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Licensors and Licensees agree as follows:

     1. Grant of License for Licensor Proprietary Software. Licensors grant to
Licensees, and Licensees accept, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement, a non-transferable, non-exclusive license (the "License") to use the
Licensor Proprietary Software and related Documentation as identified on the
attached Exhibit A, including any updates or new releases related thereto that
are developed by or at the request of the Licensors during the Term to ensure
the reliability and continued functionality thereof. The scope and limitations
of the License are set forth on Exhibit A. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Documentation" shall mean all of the system specifications, help files
(including online help materials accessible through the Licensor Proprietary
Software), and technical manuals, and all other user instructions regarding the
capabilities, operation, and use of the Licensor Proprietary Software.

     2. Permission to Use OEM Software. Licensors grant to Licensees permission
to use the OEM Software (hereinafter the "OEM Software"), for the Term and
subject to all of the terms and conditions of Licensors' licenses with the third
party manufacturers of the OEM Software that are applicable to Licensors.

     3. License Restrictions Neither Licensees nor their agents shall (i)
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software (except as may be
reasonably necessary to provide compatibility with Licensees' software for use
solely in the Florida Business); (ii) assign, sublicense, rent, timeshare, loan,
lease or otherwise transfer the Software; or (iii) remove any proprietary
notices (e.g., copyright and trademark notices) from the Software. Except as may
be provided herein, Licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to
the Licensor Proprietary Software and all derivative works. The vendors of the
OEM Software reserve all right, title and interest in and to the OEM Software.

     4. Technical Support. During the Term and subject to third party OEM
vendors' approval (in the case of the OEM Software only), Licensors will provide
Licensees with updates, modifications or changes to the Software which are
developed by or at the request of Licensors or become available from applicable
third party vendors during the Term and are reasonably necessary to correct
errors, and ensure continued efficient operation of the Software. All such
updates, enhancements, modifications or changes shall be included in the
definitions of Software. In addition, Licensors shall provide or cause to be
provided to Licensees reasonable technical support (which may be provided via
e-mail, telephone, or other reasonable means of communication) in order to
ensure the continued efficient operation of the Software.

     5. Confidentiality

          5.1 Definition. Each party agrees that all confidential or proprietary
information supplied by one party and its affiliates and agents (collectively,
the "Disclosing Party") to the other (the "Receiving Party") in connection with
this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) source and object code,
prices, trade secrets, business processes, mask works, databases, hardware,
software, designs and techniques, programs, engine protocols, models, displays
and manuals, and the selection, coordination, and arrangement of the contents of
such materials and (ii) any unpublished information concerning research
activities and plans, customers, marketing or sales plans, sales forecasts or
results of marketing efforts, pricing or pricing strategies, costs, operational
techniques, strategic plans, customer information, and unpublished financial
information, including information concerning revenues, profits and profit
margins that does not relate to the Florida Business, will be deemed
confidential and proprietary to the Disclosing Party, regardless of whether such
information was disclosed intentionally or unintentionally or marked as
"confidential" or "proprietary" ("Confidential Information"). Neither party
shall have any obligation with respect to Confidential Information which: (i) is
or becomes generally known to the public by any means other than a breach of the
obligations of the Receiving Party; (ii) was previously known to the Receiving
Party or rightly received by the Receiving Party from a third party; (iii) is
independently developed by the Receiving Party; or (iv) is subject to disclosure
under court order or other lawful process.

          5.2 Obligations of Licensees. Licensees agree not to make Licensors'
Confidential Information available in any form to any unauthorized third party
or to use Licensors' Confidential Information for any purpose other than as
specified in this Agreement. Licensees agree to take all reasonable steps to
ensure that Confidential Information of Licensors is not disclosed or
distributed by its employees, agents or contractors in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement. Licensors' Confidential Information shall remain
its sole and exclusive property. Licensees acknowledge that any use or
disclosure of Licensors' Confidential Information other than as specifically
provided for in this Agreement may result in irreparable injury and damage to
the Licensors. Accordingly, Licensees hereby agree that, in the event of use or
disclosure other than as specifically provided for in this Agreement, Licensors
may be entitled to equitable relief as granted by any appropriate judicial body.

          5.3 Obligations of Licensors. Licensors agree not to make Licensees'
Confidential Information available in any form to any unauthorized third party
or to use Licensees' Confidential Information for any purpose other than as
specified in this Agreement. Licensors agree to take all reasonable steps to
ensure that Confidential Information of Licensees is not disclosed or
distributed by its employees, agents or contractors in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement. Licensees' Confidential Information shall remain
its sole and exclusive property. Licensors acknowledge that any use or
disclosure of Licensees' Confidential Information other than as specifically
provided for in this Agreement may result in irreparable injury and damage to
the Licensees. Accordingly, Licensors hereby agree that, in the event of use or
disclosure other than as specifically provided for in this Agreement, Licensees
may be entitled to equitable relief as granted by any appropriate judicial body.

     6. Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the date
hereof and shall continue for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days, or until

                                       3

<PAGE>

terminated as provided in Section 7 herein, or by mutual written agreement of
the parties. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensees agree
to immediately discontinue all use of, and deliver to Licensors, the Licensor
Proprietary Software, Documentation, and the OEM Software, and acknowledge that
all rights in the Licensor Proprietary Software, Documentation and OEM Software
shall remain the property of Licensors, or the applicable third-party vendors.

     7. Termination If either party materially defaults in the performance of
any of its obligations under this Agreement, which default is not substantially
cured within thirty (30) days after written notice is given to the defaulting
party specifying the default, the party not in default may, by giving written
notice thereof to the defaulting party, terminate this Agreement and pursue all
remedies for such breach available at law or in equity.

     8. Licensors' Warranties. Licensors, jointly and severally, warrant to
Licensees as follows:

          (a) Licensors warrant that they have the full power, capacity and
     authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to make the grant of
     rights contained herein and that to the best of Licensors' knowledge, and
     provided that Licensees do not exceed the scope of the license and
     permissions granted hereunder, Licensees' use of the Software as permitted
     hereunder will not infringe the patent, copyright, trade mark, trade
     secret, or other proprietary rights of any third party, and further warrant
     that there is currently no actual or, to the best of their knowledge,
     threatened suit by any such third party based on an alleged violation of
     such right by Licensors.

          (b) Licensors warrant that during the Term, the Software shall
     materially conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and, to
     the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, the Documentation
     (collectively, the "Specifications") and function in a manner consistently
     with its functionality prior to the date of this Agreement.

     9. Licensors' Indemnification. Licensors shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Licensees and their shareholders, directors, officers, managers,
members, agents, employees, members, subsidiaries and successors in interest
from any claim, liability and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
arising out of any claim that Licensees' permitted use of the Software infringes
the patent, copyright, trade mark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of a
third party. In the event a claim of infringement is asserted, Licensors shall
procure for Licensees the right to continue using the Software pursuant to this
Agreement. Any costs associated with implementing either of the above
alternatives will be borne by Licensors.

     10. Licensees' Indemnification. Licensees shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Licensors and their directors, officers, agents, employees, members,
subsidiaries and successors in interest from any claim, liability and expense,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Licensee's exceeding the
scope of the License and the permissions granted hereunder with respect to
Licensees' use of the OEM Software including, but not limited to, Licensees'
continuing to use the OEM Software beyond the Term of this Agreement.

          THIS TRADENAME AND TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into and effective as of September 7, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by
and between SMART & FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), SMART & FINAL

                                    RECITALS

GFS Stores and GFS Orlando will, directly or indirectly, acquire from Licensors
certain of the assets of SF Stores related to the retail food store business in
the State of Florida and all of the assets of AFD used in the operation of the
meat processing business in the State of Florida.

          C. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Licensees will
operate the Businesses.

          D. Licensors are the owners of the trademarks (collectively, the
"Trademarks") and the tradenames (collectively, the "Tradenames") described in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

          E. Licensees desire to obtain a license to use the Trademarks and the
Tradenames on the terms set forth below for a period of two (2) years after the

          F. Licensees have required as a condition to the execution of the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement that Licensors enter
into this Agreement.

<PAGE>

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the
representations and warranties set forth herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
Licensors and Licensees agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

          1. Grant of License. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Licensors hereby grant to Licensees a limited, non-transferable
(except as may be provided herein) license ("License") to Use (as defined in
Section 11 below) the Trademarks and Tradenames solely for purposes of
conducting the Businesses. Licensees shall not have any right to sublicense the
right to use the Trademarks or Tradenames to any third party.

          2. Exclusivity. Licensors grant to Licensees the exclusive right to
Use the Trademarks and the Tradenames within the Territory (as defined in
Section 11 below) during the term of this Agreement. Licensors covenant and
agree not to use the Trademarks or the Tradenames, or any combination thereof,
during the term of this Agreement within the Territory without the prior written
consent of Licensees. The parties acknowledge that Licensor's use of the
Internet, television and radio for advertising or other purposes in connection
with its business outside the Territory shall not constitute a violation of the
rights granted to Licensee hereunder.

          3. Restrictions. Except as expressly provided for herein, nothing
contained in this Agreement will be deemed to grant to Licensees any right,
title or interest in or to the Trademarks and Tradenames. Subject only to the
License, Licensors shall own all right, title and interest in and to the
Trademarks and Tradenames, including all Intellectual Property Rights and
goodwill therein and thereto. Licensees shall not use the Trademarks and/or
Tradenames with any activity that (a) disparages, or may be reasonably expected
to have a disparaging effect on, Licensors or any of their affiliates, or any
products or services of Licensors or their affiliates; or (b) violates or
infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of Licensors or any third party.
Licensees will not challenge or contest Licensors' ownership in, or the validity
or scope of, any of the Trademarks or Tradenames in any jurisdiction, nor the
validity of any licenses to any of the Trademarks and Tradenames granted by
Licensors to any third party in any jurisdiction, and will not do anything
inconsistent with Licensors' title, right and interest in and to the Trademarks
and Tradenames, including any attempted registration of any of them, or any use
or any attempted registration of any other trademark or service mark that is
confusingly similar to any of the Trademarks or Tradenames.

          4. Form of Use. Licensees agree to use the Trademarks and the
Tradenames in form and manner not materially inconsistent with Licensors' use
immediately prior to the date hereof. Licensees further agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of the products sold by
each of them in connection with the Businesses at a level reasonably consistent
with the level of quality typical of Licensors' products.

          5. Term. The term of this Agreement and the License granted herein
shall

                                       2

<PAGE>

commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years,
unless sooner terminated as set forth in Section 6 or unless extended by mutual
agreement by the parties.

          6. Termination. In the event that either party breaches this
Agreement, then the non-breaching party may provide written notice to the
breaching party indicating: (a) the nature and basis of such default with
reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement; (b) instructions for
cure; and (c) the non-defaulting party's intention to terminate this Agreement.
In the event that such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after such
notice (or such longer cure period as the parties may agree upon), the
non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice effective
immediately to the breaching party.

          7. Effect of Termination. The terms and conditions of the following
Sections will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3,
6, 8, 9, 12.1 through 12.3, and 13 through 21. In addition, the termination or
expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either party of any liability
that accrued prior to such termination or expiration. Except as expressly
provided in this Section 7, all other provisions of this Agreement shall
terminate upon the expiration or termination hereof. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, Licensees' license and right to Use the Trademarks
and Tradenames shall immediately and automatically terminate, all rights granted
hereunder shall automatically revert to Licensors, Licensees shall immediately
cease, completely and permanently, to Use the Trademarks and Tradenames and any
name confusingly similar thereto in any manner or for any purpose, delete the
same from their corporate or business name, and destroy all printed materials
bearing the Trademarks and the Tradenames. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of termination, Licensees shall have the right to Use the Trademarks and
the Tradenames (a) to sell products that are on hand at the date of termination
or expiration of this Agreement and with respect to those products that
Licensees are obligated to purchase at such date, and (b) to carry out marketing
projects to which Licensees have committed at the date of termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

          8. Royalty-Free. The License shall be royalty-free. The License is
being granted in consideration of the transactions described in the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement and no further consideration
shall be payable.

          9. Indemnification

               9.1 Licensors shall defend Licensees and their affiliates, and
          their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members,
          stockholders, consultants and other agents (collectively the
          "Licensees' Indemnified Parties") from any and all third-party Claims
          and Losses (as defined below) imposed on, incurred by or asserted
          against any of the Licensees' Indemnified Parties as a result of any
          alleged infringement by the Trademarks or Tradenames on any third
          party's legally enforceable Intellectual Property Rights. Licensors
          shall indemnify and hold the Licensees' Indemnified Parties harmless
          from any and all such Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or
          asserted against them. Licensors' obligation to defend and indemnify
          under this subsection shall be conditioned on

                                       3

<PAGE>

          the following: (a) Licensees shall promptly notify Licensors in
          writing of the claim, action or allegation (but, in any event, in a
          time frame that does not prejudice the rights of Licensors); (b)
          Licensees shall provide all reasonable cooperation, at Licensors'
          expense, with Licensors in the defense thereof; and (c) Licensors
          shall have sole control of the defense and all related settlement
          negotiations, but shall apprise Licensees of the status of any
          proceedings or negotiations, provided, however, that no such
          settlement shall materially and adversely affect Licensees right to
          Use the Trademarks and Tradenames in the Territory during the term of
          this Agreement.

               9.2 Licensors shall not have the obligation to defend, indemnify
          and hold the Licensees' Indemnified Parties harmless to the extent
          Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
          Licensees' Indemnified Parties as a result of (a) Licensees' gross
          negligence or willful tortious misconduct; or (b) any allegation of
          infringement to the extent such infringement is attributable to the
          fact that the Trademarks or Tradenames have not been Used in
          accordance with this Agreement.

               9.3 Licensees shall defend Licensors and their affiliates, and
          their respective employees, officers, directors, consultants and other
          agents (collectively the "Licensors' Indemnified Parties") from any
          and all third-party Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or
          asserted against any of the Licensors' Indemnified Parties arising out
          of Licensees' Use of the Trademarks and Tradenames in violation of
          this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Licensors shall
          have the right, at their option and expense, to participate in the
          defense and related settlement negotiations of any claim, action or
          allegation to the extent it relates to the Trademarks and Tradenames,
          provided, however, that Licensors shall not settle any claim or action
          without Licensees' prior written consent, which consent shall not be
          unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If Licensors choose
          not to participate in the defense and related settlement negotiations
          as provided above, Licensees shall have the right to control the
          defense and related settlement negotiations, provided, however that
          Licensees shall not settle any claim or action without Licensors'
          prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
          withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event Licensors choose not
          to participate in the defense and related settlement negotiations
          pursuant to this Section 9.3, Licensors shall use their best efforts
          to cooperate with Licensees in the defense thereof and Licensees shall
          be liable to Licensors for Licensors' reasonable expenses incurred in
          providing such cooperation.

               9.4 Unless otherwise stated herein, "Claims or Losses" means any
          and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
          actions, suits, judgments, and reasonable costs and expenses awarded
          to, or agreed to be paid to, a third party of whatever nature
          including, without limitation, (a) indirect, special, punitive,
          consequential or incidental loss or damage awarded to a third party

                                       4

<PAGE>

          (including, without limitation, by way of settlement) against a party
          entitled to indemnification under this Section, and (b) reasonable
          administrative costs, litigation costs, and auditors' and attorneys'
          fees, both in-house and outside counsel, and related disbursements.

               9.5 This Section 9 sets forth the entire liability of the Parties
          with respect to Claims or Losses arising out of or relating to any
          claims, actions, suits or other proceedings in connection with alleged
          infringement of Intellectual Property Rights by the Trademarks or
          Tradenames or the Use thereof by Licensees, and the exclusive remedy
          of the Licensees' Indemnified Parties and the Licensors' Indemnified
          Parties in connection with such Claims or Losses.

          10. Maintenance and Enforcement of Registrations. Licensors shall have
the right and obligation to undertake such actions, including making applicable
registrations and filings with the appropriate authorities, as are reasonably
necessary to establish and protect the Trademarks and Tradenames in the
Territory or in any other jurisdiction in the world. Licensors shall pay all
costs or fees associated with any such actions, and Licensee shall provide all
reasonable cooperation to Licensors with respect to such actions. Moreover,
Licensors shall have the right to defend or prosecute any trademark infringement
actions as may be necessary to protect the Trademarks or Tradenames in the
Territory. Licensors shall have sole control of any such actions and all related
settlement negotiations. Licensees shall, at Licensors' expense, provide all
reasonable cooperation to Licensors (a) in assisting Licensors with respect to
such actions and any related settlement negotiations upon Licensors' request,
and (b) in protecting Licensors' rights in the Trademarks and Tradenames by
giving prompt notice to Licensors of any infringement that Licensee becomes
aware of.

          13. Representations and Warranties of Licensors. Licensors jointly and
severally represent and warrant to Licensees as follows:

               13.1 Licensors represent and warrant to Licensees that they own
     all right, title and interest in the Trademarks and Tradenames and have the
     absolute and unrestricted right, power, and authority to grant the rights
     hereunder.

               13.2 Licensors represent and warrant to Licensees that they are
     authorized to enter into this Agreement and that their license of the
     Trademarks and Tradenames under the terms of this Agreement shall not

     state, local, or foreign laws, rules, or regulations relating to Licensors

     Licensors in the conduct of the Businesses.

                                       6

<PAGE>

               13.4 Licensors do not own or use any patents, patent
     applications, or inventions or discoveries that may be patentable in
     connection with the Businesses.

               13.5 Licensors do not own or use any registered copyrights in
     connection with the Businesses.

               13.7 Licensors have taken reasonable precautions to protect the
     secrecy, confidentiality and value of any trade secrets which Licensors may
     own, and Licensors own such trade secrets and have the valid right to use
     same. To the best of Licensors' knowledge, the trade secrets are not part
     of the public knowledge or literature and have not been used, divulged or
     appropriated either for the benefit of any person (other than Licensors) or
     to the detriment of Licensors. To the best of Licensors' knowledge, no
     material trade secret is subject to any adverse claim or has been
     challenged or threatened in any way. For purposes of this Agreement, trade
     secrets are defined as all know-how, trade secrets, confidential
     information, customer lists, software, technical information, data, process
     technology, plans, drawings, and blueprints used in the conduct of the
     Businesses.

               13.8 Licensors are not a party to any contract or arrangement

     trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, rights in mask works, patents, or trade
     secrets.

               13.9 None of the current employees of Licensors that are involved
     in the Businesses have executed written contracts with Licensors that
     assign to Licensors any rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries
     or information relating to the Businesses. To the best of Licensors'
     knowledge, no employee of Licensors that is involved in any of the
     Businesses has entered into any contract that restricts or limits in any
     material way the scope or type of work in which the employee may be
     engaged, or requires the employee to transfer, assign or disclose
     information concerning his or her work to anyone other than Licensors.

          14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications
required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be effective when delivered if personally delivered or three (3) days
after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, and addressed to the parties at the addresses set
forth in Section 12.4 of the Share Purchase Agreement or at such other addresses
as the parties may designate in writing by providing notice thereof in
compliance with this paragraph.

          15. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified except

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share

<PAGE>

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Sellers and Buyers agree as follows:

          1. Services for Stores. During the Term of this Agreement, Sellers
will provide the transitional services described in this Section 1 for the
benefit of the stores (the "Stores") being acquired by GFS Stores from SF Stores
in the state of Florida. These transitional services will include the resources
reasonably necessary to maintain continuous operation of the Stores in a manner
substantially consistent with current practices and in the areas described
below. Sellers represent and warrant to Buyers that nothing contained in any of
the agreements to which Sellers are a party prohibits Sellers from providing the
Services, Systems and Support to Buyers as provided in Section 1 of this
Agreement. For purposes of Section 1 of this Agreement, "Systems" is defined as
the hardware and software located in each Store or in SFI's Commerce facility
reasonably necessary to support the transitional service process. "Services" is
defined as providing substantially the same activities currently provided by SFI
from its Commerce facility or by third parties that are necessary to continue
the current business operations in the Stores. "Support" is defined as the
materials, communications and intervention necessary to continue operations
substantially as they are presently conducted in the Stores. All of the
transitional services to be provided by Sellers pursuant to this Section 1 shall
be provided consistent with historical practices at the Stores and at levels
substantially the same as presently provided with no unique services or support
required except as specifically set forth herein. Sellers' obligations under
this Section 1 also are subject to compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, and with all confidentiality agreements or obligations. Buyers
agree to cooperate with Sellers and use their commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly respond to Sellers' requests for information and action that may be
required in order to facilitate Sellers' provision of transitional services
hereunder. The transitional services to be provided by Sellers pursuant to this
Section 1 are the following:

          A.   Business Process Systems, Service and Support.

               (1)  Advertising: Sellers will provide GFS Stores the ability to
                    influence Hot Sheet advertising direction, materials and
                    activities during the transition period. This includes the
                    continuation of mailed and inserted Hot Sheet promotional
                    services, including logo and graphics materials. GFS Stores
                    will define the product and pricing within the theme and
                    format of Sellers' Hot Sheet promotional period and provide
                    same to Sellers, who then will provide creative design,
                    layout, SFI name and the processes to produce and deliver
                    the materials. GFS Stores will identify the customer types
                    for the mailed Hot Sheet, and Sellers will develop and
                    deliver the pieces to those customers.

                                       2

<PAGE>

                    Sellers will provide copies of all template, logo and item
                    art work that may be used in developing and delivering Hot
                    Sheet promotional pieces during the time period from the
                    2003 Memorial Day promotion period until the termination of
                    this Agreement. Such materials will be delivered to Buyers
                    as soon as they are available. Sellers do not own or have
                    rights to, and will not provide Buyers with, any radio
                    jingles or other radio materials utilizing the SFI name.

               (2)  Henry Lee support: Continue to provide the systems and data
                    interfaces to support the existing Henry Lee/SFI Florida
                    price/cost, credit authorization and A/R management, item
                    maintenance, and DSR commissions, so long as Buyer conducts
                    POS using ACS 4.0 and NCR POS equipment.

               (3)  Pricing support for all items sold within the Stores
                    including DSD, warehouse, and corporate brands, provided
                    that Sellers retain the right to change inventory items
                    consistent with product changes throughout all of Sellers'

     information to Buyers pursuant to Section 1.A(5) above (such breach, a
     "Buyer Breach").

          C.   Procedure and Payment.

               (1)  The person seeking indemnification under Section 7.A, and
                    7.B (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice
                    to the Person against whom indemnity is sought (the
                    "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim, or the
                    commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect
                    of which indemnity may be sought under such Section and will
                    provide the Indemnifying Party such information with respect
                    thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.
                    The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not
                    relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder,
                    except to the extent such failure shall have materially and
                    adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

               (2)  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
                    asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with
                    counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
                    Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party
                    notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen
                    (15) days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice of
                    the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the Indemnified
                    Party from and against all Damages that the Indemnified
                    Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating
                    to, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the
                    Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with
                    evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that
                    the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to
                    defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its
                    indemnification obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the
                    Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not
                    seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iv) the
                    Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party
                    Claim actively and diligently.

               (3)  So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
                    of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions
                    of this Section 7.C, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
                    to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and
                    to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose.
                    The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid
                    by the Indemnified Party.

                                       11

<PAGE>

               (4)  Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
                    cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party
                    Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such
                    records, information and testimony, and attend such
                    conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or
                    appeals, as may be reasonably requested by any other party
                    in connection therewith.

          D.   Calculation of Damages.

               (1)  The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.A and 7.B
                    by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts
                    recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable
                    insurance policies and the Indemnified Party shall use
                    commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts
                    available under such insurance policies.

               (2)  If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
                    coverage or from a third party with respect to Damages at
                    any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by the
                    Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.A and 7.B, then
                    such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the
                    Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred
                    by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such
                    indemnification up to such amount received by such
                    Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such
                    Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

               (3)  In no event shall either Buyers or Sellers be liable to the
                    other party for any consequential damages or lost profits in
                    excess of $750,000.

          8. Force Majeure. Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall be responsible to
the other for any delay in or failure of performance of their obligations under
this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause
beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God,
fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties, war, embargo or other
governmental act, or riot that, in the case of Sellers, prevents Sellers from
providing services under this Agreement, or, in the case of Buyers, prevents
Buyers from utilizing the services under this Agreement; provided that the party
affected thereby gives the other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any
event which has caused or is likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting
forth its best estimate of the length of any delay and any possibility that it
will be unable to resume performance; and provided further that said affected
party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome
the effects of that event and resume performance or utilization.

                                       12

          9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          A. Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate, the
     "Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective
     authorized agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers,
     directors, accountants, counsel and other designated representatives
     (collectively, "Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential
     (and not disclose or provide access to any person to) all records, books,
     contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information
     (collectively, "Information") concerning the other party (the "Promisee")
     in the Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its
     Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor
     or its Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such
     Information, provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such
     requirement so that the Promisee may seek a protective order or other
     remedy or waive compliance with this Section 9.A, and (iii) in the event
     that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee
     waives compliance with this Section 9.A, furnish only that portion of such
     Information which is legally required to be provided and exercise
     Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment
     will be accorded such Information; provided, however, that this sentence
     shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of disclosure, is
     available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this Agreement by
     such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however, that the
     provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party from
     disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
     Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such
     Information) or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with
     any governmental authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party.
     Each party agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of
     its obligations under this Section 9.A are inadequate and that in addition
     thereto the other party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief,
     including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such
     breach, without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary
     damages. The provisions of this Section 9.A shall not apply to the extent
     any such Information is required to be disclosed by applicable law.

          B. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
     communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every
     case be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered
     personally, (b) upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered
     or certified mail, in all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt
     requested, or (c) the next business day if delivered by a recognized
     overnight courier service, airbill prepaid, designated for next business
     day delivery, to the parties at the addresses as set forth below or at such
     other addresses as may be furnished in writing:

          C.   Jurisdiction.

               (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court in
the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then each of
the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state
court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted pursuant
to this Section 9.C, it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or
any

                                       14

<PAGE>

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other than
a federal court in the state of Delaware.

               (2) In the event the state court specified in Section 9.C(1)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
     any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a convenient
     forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western
     District of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan, any claim
     that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (3) In the event the state court specified in Section 9.C(1)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Central District of California
     or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
     convenient forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central
     District of California or any state court in the state of California, any
     claim that such party is not subject personally to the

                                       15

<PAGE>

     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

          D. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the other
     party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting (unless the
     requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 7),
     each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting
     party such documents and take such other action as such requesting party
     may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the
     transactions contemplated hereby.

          E. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
     are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by
     any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
     or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of
     such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any
     such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise
     of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right,
     power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)
     no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred
     to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part,
     by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed
     by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
     applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c)
     no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any
     obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or
     demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
     Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          F. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
     prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
     constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the
     agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This
     Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the
     parties to be charged with the amendment.

          G. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
     may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
     the prior consent of the other parties, except that GFS Holding may assign
     any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding.
     Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding
     in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the benefit of the
     successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or
     referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other
     than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or
     claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
     Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are

                                       16

<PAGE>

     for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and
     their successors and assigns.

          H. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
     unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions
     of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
     this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
     remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
     unenforceable.

          I. Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this
     Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its
     construction or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections"
     refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words
     used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as
     the circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word
     "including" does not limit the preceding words or terms.

          J. Preamble; Recitals. The Recitals set forth in the Preamble hereto
     are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

          K. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal laws
     of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

     deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
     mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against
     any party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

          M. Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
     9.M all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or among
     any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
     including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have
     failed to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively,
     "Agreement Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

               (1)  Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
                    shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by
                    means of a mediation conducted in the following manner. A
                    party desiring mediation of any Agreement Dispute shall give
                    or shall have given a written notice, in the manner set
                    forth in Section 9.B hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the
                    other party or parties setting forth the nature of the
                    dispute and the relief intended to be sought and shall
                    submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative
                    mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial
                    Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under the auspices) of
                    the American Arbitration

                                       17

<PAGE>

                    Association (the "AAA") in effect on the date of this
                    Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in writing, to
                    resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees
                    that it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to
                    the jurisdiction (either personal or subject matter) or the
                    venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (2)  Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
                    resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60)
                    days after submission thereof, then either party may
                    commence a suit or legal action or an action at equity to
                    enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or
                    recover any damages arising from the other party's breach or
                    such other relief as may be appropriate under the
                    circumstances.

               (3)  Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
                    mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought
                    with respect to an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to
                    recover the reasonable fees and disbursements of its
                    attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
                    with any such mediation or any action or legal or other
                    proceeding brought in accordance with the provisions hereof.

                    foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
                    this Agreement, a party may bring a proceeding against any
                    other party hereto for specific performance or injunctive or

                    question to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided,
                    however, that such party shall not seek any monetary award
                    or relief in such action or proceeding unless its failure to
                    do so would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek
                    such monetary award or relief in another action or
                    proceeding.

          THIS EMPLOYEE LEASING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into and

limited liability company ("GFS Stores"), and GFS Orlando, LLC, a Delaware

defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Share
Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and between SFI and AFD and GFS
Holding, GFS Holding will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of Henry Lee; and pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and among GFS
Holding, GFS Orlando, and GFS Stores, and Sellers, GFS Stores and GFS Orlando
will, directly or indirectly, acquire from Sellers certain of the assets of SF
Stores and all of the assets of the Orlando Foodservice division of AFD
(collectively, the "Assets").

          B. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyers will continue
to operate the businesses operated by AFD, SF Stores and Henry Lee in the State
of Florida (the "Business").

          C. Buyers desire to lease from Sellers certain employees of Sellers
who are knowledgeable about the certain aspects of the Business and for the
purpose of performing such tasks as are beneficial to the transition and
ownership of the Business.

          D. Buyers have required as a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase
Agreement that Sellers enter into this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Sellers and Buyers agree as follows:

1.   Lease of Employees.

          1.1 Leased Employees. During the period beginning 12:01 a.m. on the
Effective Date and ending on 11:59 p.m. on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date (the "Lease Period"), and subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, Sellers shall furnish to Buyers the full-

<PAGE>

time services of the Leased Employees of Sellers listed on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto (the "Leased Employees").

          1.2 Location. The location of work to be performed by of each Leased
Employee shall be as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, unless otherwise
consented to by Sellers.

          1.3 Payment and Employment Policies. Sellers shall have sole
responsibility for: (i) establishment and payment of all wages, salaries and
other forms of compensation for the Leased Employees; (ii) payment of all
payroll, social security and unemployment taxes related to the Leased Employees;
(iii) establishing all personnel policies and employee benefit programs for the
Leased Employees; and (iv) determination of work schedules for the Leased
Employees. Buyers shall have full authority to direct the Leased Employees with
respect to the performance by Leased Employees of their respective Services (as
defined below) to Buyers. Sellers shall use their reasonable diligent efforts to
ensure that the Leased Employees perform the Services (as defined below) in the
best interests of Buyers.

          1.4 Employment of Leased Employees. Sellers shall have full
responsibility and authority for decisions regarding termination and
reassignment of Leased Employees. In the event that Buyers provide reasonable
evidence to Sellers that the performance of a Leased Employee is unsatisfactory
or if Buyers notify Sellers that the services of a particular Leased Employee
are no longer needed, then Sellers shall reassign the Leased Employee from
Buyers, subject to and in accordance with the personnel policies of Sellers. In
the event Buyers request the reassignment of the services of a Leased Employee,
or in the event of the resignation, retirement or other termination of services
by a Leased Employee for Buyers, such Leased Employee shall be reassigned to
Sellers, who shall be responsible for taking any action with respect to such
Leased Employee's employment by Sellers. Leased Employees who are reassigned
from Buyers or are terminated during the Lease Period are referred to herein as
"Former Leased Employees." Exhibit "A" shall be revised to exclude such Former
Leased Employees from time to time, as appropriate.

          1.5 Permanent Hire. Buyers may, in their discretion and at any time
during the Lease Period, offer to permanently hire any of the Leased Employees
without any additional compensation therefor payable to Sellers, other than for
the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement.

2.   Payment For Leased Employees.

          2.1 Payment Terms. On or before the 25th day of each calendar month,
Sellers shall issue an invoice to Buyers specifying the Reimbursable Amount (as
defined in Section 2.2 below) for the immediately preceding calendar month.
Buyers shall pay the Reimbursable Amount specified in each such invoice within
ten (10) days after receipt of such invoice.

          2.2 Reimbursable Amount. The term "Reimbursable Amount" is an amount
equal to the costs paid and expenses accrued (as hereafter provided) by Sellers
during such period, solely with respect to the Leased Employees that are
providing services to Buyers hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonable cost of: (i) salaries, wages and incentive, vacation, holiday and
self-funded sick pay; (ii) Seller-paid social security taxes, medicare taxes

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

and other payroll taxes; (iii) premiums paid by Sellers on behalf of Leased
Employees for coverage by any long-term disability insurance, insured short-term
disability benefits, group term life insurance, accidental death and disability
insurance, business travel accident insurance requested by Buyers, and insured
group health, dental or vision plans; (iv) other employee welfare benefits,
fringe benefits or perquisites, including, but not limited to, benefits under
any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), supplemental unemployment
compensation plan benefits or any other fringe benefit arrangement which does
not constitute an employee benefit plan, or Sellers' costs under any employment
agreement not otherwise described in this Section which have been disclosed to
Buyers; (v) Sellers' contributions to any tax-qualified defined contribution
plan on behalf of Leased Employees (other than employee pretax deferral amounts
included in (i) above, as wages); (vi) Sellers' provided benefits under any
tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan; (vii) Sellers' provided self-funded
group health, dental and vision benefits; (viii) Sellers' costs for
administration of any benefit plan, program or arrangement provided to or for
the benefit of the Leased Employees; (ix) any other government charges relating
to the employment of the Leased Employees, including worker's compensation
claims; (x) amounts paid for the insurance coverage required under Section 3
below, (xi) expenses of complying with and administering any collective
bargaining agreement with respect to Leased Employees; and (xii) any amounts due
Sellers pursuant to Section 4 below, in each case to the extent that such
payments and benefits are generally provided to Sellers' employees as a group.

          2.3 Late Payment. Any portion of the Reimbursable Amount that is not
paid as and when due pursuant to the payment terms provided in this Section
shall be considered a "Late Payment." Sellers shall notify Buyers of such Late
Payment, in writing, and interest shall accrue on such Late Payment (or any
portion thereof) from the date that such Late Payment was first invoiced to
Buyers until the date such amount is fully paid to Sellers at the rate equal to
the lesser of: (i) the maximum rate allowed by law, or (ii) the prime rate as
announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. plus five percentage (5%)
points per annum.

          2.4 Covenant of Sellers. Sellers covenant and agree not to increase
the levels of compensation and benefits provided to any of the Leased Employees
during the Lease Period, other than for normal increases in compensation and
benefits to similarly-situated employees of Sellers, and in the ordinary course
and operation of Sellers' business.

3.   Sellers' Insurance Obligations.

          3.1 Insurance. Sellers shall obtain and maintain at their own expense
general liability, worker's compensation, disability and casualty and other
similar employee benefit insurance, in amounts reasonably sufficient to meet
state requirements, including insurance for any claims, losses, costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the injury or death of a Leased Employee
pursuant to this Agreement.

          3.2 Additional Insurance. Sellers shall be required to purchase and
maintain such insurance with limits described in Section 3.3 below and as
approved by Buyers as will protect it from claims set forth below which may
arise out of or result from the Leased Employee's provision of Services (as
defined in Section 5.2 below) under this Agreement; provided,

                                      -3-

          4.2 Survival of Provisions. The indemnification obligations of the
Buyers under this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement for

5.   Services.

          5.1 General. Leased Employees are Buyers' agents and will act as
directed by and under the supervision of Buyers and their employees, and will
confer with Buyers regarding the Leased Employee's Services (as defined in
Section 5.2 below).

          5.2 Services. Buyers and Sellers hereby covenant and agree that in
return for the fee provided for in Section 2 above, Sellers shall cause the
Leased Employees to devote their full time and efforts to the diligent and
faithful performance of such tasks as are beneficial to the transition and
ownership of the Business from Buyers to Sellers (the "Services").

6.   Maintenance of Records.

          6.1 Buyers and Sellers shall each have the following rights and
obligations with respect to the maintenance of records and the following rights
with respect to the inspection of the records maintained by the other:

               (a) Buyers shall maintain accurate records of all hours worked by
     each Leased Employee in such form as Sellers shall reasonably request and,
     at such times as Sellers shall reasonably request, Buyers shall furnish
     such records to Sellers.

               (b) All business records and information relating to the business
     activities of either Buyers or Sellers shall be the property of that party.

               (c) Each of Buyers and Sellers shall safeguard all records
     maintained by it pursuant to this Agreement for a period of six years, or
     if longer, as required by applicable law.

               (d) The parties shall give each other and their respective
     counsel, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access to
     each other's books and records relating to Leased Employees and Former
     Leased Employees, including, without limitation, correspondence, accounting
     records, personnel files, and legal complaints, upon reasonable notice and
     during normal business hours, as may be necessary for the performance of
     the respective duties and obligation hereunder; provided, however, that any
     review of Sellers' books and records pursuant to this Section shall be
     conducted in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of
     the business of Sellers.

7.   Force Majeure.

          7.1 Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall be responsible to the other for
any delay in or failure of performance of its obligations under this Agreement
to the extent such delay or failure

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

is attributable to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, any act of God, fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties,
war, embargo or other governmental act, or riot that, in the case of Sellers,
prevents Sellers from providing Leased Employees under this Agreement, or, in
the case of Buyers, prevents Buyers from utilizing the services of Leased
Employees under this Agreement; provided that the party affected thereby gives
the other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any event which has caused or
is likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting forth its best estimate of
the length of any delay and any possibility that it will be unable to resume
performance; and provided further that said affected party shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that
event and resume performance or utilization.

8.   Termination and Replacement.

          8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated:

               (a) By either Sellers or Buyers upon not less than fifteen (15)
     days' prior written notice to the other party in the event that such other
     party has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement and has
     failed or refused to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days after
     written demand therefor is given by the aggrieved party to the other or in
     the event that such other party has materially breached the same obligation
     under this Agreement more than once (regardless of whether such breach is
     remedied);

               (b) By either Sellers or Buyers upon written notice to the other
     party, effective immediately, in the event the other party shall become the
     subject (voluntarily or involuntarily) of any proceeding relating to
     bankruptcy or insolvency, or make an assignment or other arrangement for
     the benefit of its creditors, or be dissolved or liquidated (except as a
     consequence of a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization
     not involving the insolvency of such dissolved or liquidated party);

          8.2 Obligations Upon Termination. Upon termination or expiration of
this Agreement, Buyers shall be liable to Sellers for all unpaid Reimbursable
Amounts attributable to any period(s) prior to the termination of this
Agreement.

9.   Sellers Not Fiduciary.

          9.1 Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute
Sellers a fiduciary of Buyers, nor shall Sellers have any liability to Buyers
with respect to the service of the Leased Employees provided under this
Agreement other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 above.

10.  Limited Warranty; Limitation of Liability; Compliance with Employment Laws.

          10.1 Warranties of Compliance with Employment Laws. As an inducement
to the parties to enter into this Agreement, Buyers and Sellers represent,
warrant and covenant to each other that they each will comply in all material
respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations
and ordinances applicable to the Leased Employees and their services hereunder,
to the extent that such party exclusively controls a matter or supervises a
Leased Employee with respect to a matter, including without limitation, those
relating to

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

workers' compensation, labor and employment relations, employee health and
safety, and employment discrimination.

          10.2 Limitation of Warranty; Limitation of Liability. Except as
expressly provided in Section 10.1, Leased Employees are provided under this
Agreement without warranty of any kind whatsoever. For breaches of warranty and
other breaches of contract with respect to this Agreement, Seller's liability
shall in no event exceed the total amount paid by Buyers under this Agreement.
Without limitation, Sellers SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM: (A)
ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR
WARRANTY; (B) ANY OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM TORT CLAIMS
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR ARISING UNDER OTHER THEORIES OF
LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LEASED EMPLOYEES
HEREUNDER; AND (C) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF LEASED EMPLOYEES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.

11.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

          11.1 Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate, the
"Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective authorized
agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers, directors,
accountants, counsel and other designated representatives (collectively,
"Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or
provide access to any person to) all records, books, contracts, instruments,
computer data and other data and information (collectively, "Information")
concerning the other party (the "Promisee") or the Leased Employees in the
Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its Representatives
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor or its
Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such Information,
provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the
Promisee may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with
this Section 11.1, and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee waives compliance with this Section
11.1, furnish only that portion of such Information which is legally required to
be provided and exercise Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that
confidential treatment will be accorded such Information; provided, however,
that this sentence shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of
disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this
Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however,
that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party
from disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such Information)
or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with any governmental
authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and
acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this
Section 11.1 are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall
be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of
demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this Section
11.1 shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required to be
disclosed by applicable law.

          11.3 Jurisdiction.

          (a) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of
     the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
     consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court
     in the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then
     each of the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction
     of any state court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further
     agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
     jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and
     agrees that, except as permitted pursuant to this Section 11.3, it will not
     bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other than a federal
     court in the state of Delaware.

          (b) In the event the state court specified in Section 11.3(a) refuses
     to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter at
     issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any
     of the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

               (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
          jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and
          each appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of
          Michigan;

               (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
          any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a
          convenient forum; and

               (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or
          otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal
          court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
          the Western District of Michigan or any state court in the state of
          Michigan, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
          jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been
          brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding
          is improper.

          (c) In the event the state court specified in Section 11.3(a) refuses
     to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter at
     issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any
     of the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

               (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
          jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

          District Court for the Central District of California (and each
          appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of
          California;

               (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Central District of California or
          any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
          convenient forum; and

               (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or
          otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal
          court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
          the Central District of California or any state court in the state of
          California, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
          jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been
          brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding
          is improper.

          (d) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

          11.4 Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the
other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting (unless the
requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 4), each
of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such
documents and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably
request in order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated
hereby.

          11.5 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the
documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          11.6 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not
be amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties to be charged
with the amendment.

          11.7 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior consent of the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

other parties, except that GFS Holding may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the
benefit of the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right,
remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
successors and assigns.

          11.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid
or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in
full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

          11.9 Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this
Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction
or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer to the
corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in this
Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances
require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word "including" does not
limit the preceding words or terms.

          11.10 Preamble; Recitals. The Recitals set forth in the Preamble
hereto are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

          11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

          11.12 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will
be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

          11.13 Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this
Section 11.13 all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or
among any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed
to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement
Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

               (a) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
     shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a
     mediation conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of
     any Agreement Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in
     the manner set forth in Section 11.2 hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the
     other party or parties setting forth the nature of the dispute and the
     relief intended to be sought and shall submit such Agreement Dispute for
     resolution by facilitative mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under the
     Commercial Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under the auspices) of the
     American Arbitration Association (the "AAA")

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     in effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in
     writing, to resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that
     it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction
     (either personal or subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in
     Chicago, Illinois.

               (b) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
     resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after
     submission thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action
     or an action at equity to enforce its rights or the other party's
     obligations or recover any damages arising from the other party's breach or
     such other relief as may be appropriate under the circumstances.

               (c) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
     mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect
     to an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees
     and disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in
     connection with any such mediation or any action or legal or other
     proceeding brought in accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
     Agreement, a party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto
     for specific performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief
     in the state or federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in
     Section 11.3 without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in
     question to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that
     such party shall not seek any monetary award or relief in such action or
     proceeding unless its failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights
     or ability to seek such monetary award or relief in another action or
     proceeding.

          11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF Sellers and Buyers have executed this Agreement as
of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

          For the purposes of our opinions, we have assumed the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of
all documents submitted to us as

FOLEY & LARDNER

copies, and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us
as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons
signing all documents in connection with which these opinions are rendered. We
have further assumed: (i) the authority of such persons signing all documents on
behalf of the parties thereto other than Sellers; (ii) the due authorization of
all documents by the parties thereto other than Sellers; (iii) the due execution
and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than Sellers; (iv)
the absence of duress, fraud, undue influence, or mutual mistake of material
fact on the part of the parties; (v) that the choice of law provisions in the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements were not made with a view
towards evading otherwise applicable law or the consequences thereof; and (vi)
that the application of Delaware law to the Share Purchase Agreement and the
Related Agreements would not be contrary to a fundamental public policy of a
jurisdiction that has a materially greater interest than the State of Delaware
in the determination of a particular question at issue. As to any facts material
to the opinions set forth herein, which we have not independently established or
verified, we have relied solely upon the representations and warranties of the
officers of Sellers, the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in
the Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, and upon the Officer's
Certificates from each of the Sellers, but without any further independent
investigation. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon such certificates
from public officials as we have deemed necessary. We have assumed that such
representations and warranties, and such certifications, are true, correct and
complete.

          As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" with
reference to matters of fact: (i) means that, after an examination of documents
made available to us by or on behalf of Sellers and based on the representations
and warranties of the officers of Sellers, the representations and warranties of
Sellers contained in the Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements,
and upon the Officer's Certificates from each of the Sellers, but without any
further independent investigation, we find no reason to believe that the
opinions set forth herein are factually incorrect; and (ii) refers to the
current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this law firm who have worked on
matters for Sellers in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements. Except
to the extent expressly set forth hereinabove, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and
no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should
be drawn from our representation of Sellers or the rendering of the opinions set
forth herein.

          In addition to the foregoing, in rendering the opinions set forth
herein, we note that the Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements
state that they are to be governed by Delaware law. We advise you that we are
not admitted to practice in that state, although we are familiar with the
corporate laws of that state.

          Based solely upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and
exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   Smart & Final is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is qualified to
transact business and is in corporate good standing under the laws of the State
of Florida, and has all corporate power required to carry on

FOLEY & LARDNER

its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement and the
Related Agreements.

     2.   American Foodservice is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, is
qualified to transact business and is in corporate good standing under the laws
of the State of Florida, and has all corporate power required to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement and the
Related Agreements.

     3.   American Foodservice is the sole owner of all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock (the "Shares") of Henry Lee. All the Shares have been
duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and,
when transferred to Buyer, will be transferred free and clear of any security
interest, claim, encumbrance, or adverse interest of any nature, except for such
restrictions as may be imposed by state or federal securities law.

     4.   The execution, delivery and performance by Sellers of the Share
Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, and do not violate or contravene the Certificate of
Incorporation or Articles of Incorporation, as applicable, or the Bylaws of
Sellers. The Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have been duly
executed by and delivered on behalf of Sellers.

     5.   The Share Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have been duly
executed and delivered and constitute the legally valid and binding obligation
of Sellers and, other than the Noncompetition Agreement, are enforceable against
Sellers in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws or
equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, and except as
provided further below in this letter.

     6.   Except as disclosed in the Schedules to the Share Purchase Agreement,
the execution, delivery and performance by Sellers of the Share Purchase
Agreement and the Related Agreements: (i) requires no approval, filing with,
authorization, consent, adjudication or order of any governmental authority
which has not been obtained; (ii) does not violate any current law or regulation
of the States of California or Delaware, or the federal laws of the United
States of America binding on Sellers which a lawyer, using customary
professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as applicable to Sellers and
the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the Related
Agreements; (iii) to the best of our knowledge, does not violate any order,
writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on Sellers; and (iv) subject
to the exceptions set forth below, does not violate, contravene or constitute a
default under any material agreement binding upon Sellers.

          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional
exceptions assumptions and qualifications:

     1.   We express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or
effect of:

          a.   any principles of public policy which may limit enforceability of
     the Share Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Agreements;

          b.   the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
     transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws or
     judicially developed doctrine (such as substantive consolidation or
     equitable subordination) now or hereafter in effect relating to or
     affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally;

          c.   the effect of procedural due process, general principles of
     equity including, without limitation, principles of commercial
     reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, whether such enforcement is
     considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the
     court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, including the
     court's failure or refusal to enforce provisions of agreements or documents
     if enforcement thereof is based upon defaults or breaches which are
     immaterial to the ultimate performance contemplated thereby or for other
     reasons deemed equitable by the court;

          d.   the availability of the remedy of specific performance, or of any

                 AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE

          THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE (this "Agreement")
is made this        day of September, 2003, between SMART & FINAL, INC., a
             ------
Delaware corporation, of 600 Citadel Drive, Commerce, California 90040 (the
"Seller") and HENRY LEE PROPERTIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
of 333 - 50th Street, S.W., Grand Rapids, Michigan 49508 (the "Buyer").

                                    RECITALS:

          A.   Seller, American Foodservice Distributors ("AFD") and GFS
Holding, Inc. ("GFS") have heretofore entered into that certain Share Purchase
Agreement dated as of August 6, 2003 (the "SPA"), pursuant to which GFS has
agreed to purchase all of the shares of Henry Lee Company, a Florida
corporation, from Seller and AFD.

          B.   Seller currently leases the Subject Property (as defined in
Section 1(b) below) from Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, not
in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee under the S&F Trust
1998-1 (the "Owner Trustee") pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated as
of November 30, 2001 (as amended and supplemented to date, the "Synthetic
Lease," and together with the Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
Credit Agreement, and the Mortgage Instruments (as each such term is defined in
Appendix A to the Participation Agreement) relating to the Subject Property,
referred to herein collectively as the "Synthetic Lease Documents"). A copy of
each of the Synthetic Lease Documents, redacted to preserve the confidentiality
of the financial terms of the transaction contemplated thereby, has previously
been provided by Seller to Buyer.

          C.   This Agreement is being entered into pursuant to and in
contemplation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA.

          D.   Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase
from Seller, the Subject Property, all on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth below.

          IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

          1.   Property Included in Purchase and Sale Agreement.

          (a)  Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from
Seller, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the real property, improvements,
fixtures and appurtenances located at 2850 NW 120th Terrace, Miami, Florida,
together with an unimproved parcel of land located nearby, all of which real
property is more particularly

                                       1

<PAGE>

described on attached Exhibit A (the "Real Property"). The legal description for
the Real Property shall be subject to verification by Buyer prior to Closing (as
defined in Section 13 of this Agreement) based on the survey and title
commitment to be provided by Seller under this Agreement.

          (b)  Also included in this sale at no additional cost to Buyer are the
items of equipment and other personal property associated with the Real Property
and leased to Seller pursuant to the Synthetic Lease (the "Personal Property").
The Real Property and the Personal Property are collectively referred to in this
Agreement as the "Subject Property."

          (c)  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer mutually acknowledge
and agree that the Subject Property shall include all improvements located on
the Real Property, all fixtures affixed to such improvements (including, without
limitation, all shelving, racks and refrigeration units or equipment), all
beneficial easements, including, without limitation, easements relating to
ingress and egress, all rights, permits, licenses and appurtenances pertaining
to the Real Property, if any, and all of Seller's right, title and interest in
all public ways adjoining the same.

          2.   Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Subject Property shall
be the sum of Eleven Million Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($11,240,000.00)
(the "Purchase Price").

          3.   Payment of Purchase Price; Payment by Seller.

          (a)  The Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer at Closing in the form
of cashier's check or bank money order or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.

          (b)  Concurrently with the payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer at
Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
in the form of cashier's check or bank money order or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds as payment for certain improvements reflected on the
books of Henry Lee Company.

          4.   Taxes and Assessment; Utilities and Rents.

          (a)  Seller shall assume and pay all real estate and personal property
taxes ("Taxes") on the Subject Property which are billed or become due and
payable on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 13 of this
Agreement) and all outstanding special assessments, including any certified
municipal or county special assessments, which have been levied or assessed or
which are a lien against the Subject Property as of the Closing Date whether due
or not. All Taxes coming due and payable during the calendar year in which the
Closing occurs shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date
with the Seller being responsible for that portion of such Taxes allocable to
the period from January 1 of the year of Closing to the Closing Date and the
Buyer being responsible for the balance of such Taxes. If the precise amount of
such Taxes is not known as of the Closing Date, such Taxes shall be estimated
based

                                       2

<PAGE>

upon the best available information. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4(a), Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge and
agree that, as specified in Section 13, Buyer shall be solely responsible for
paying any and all documentary stamps/transfer taxes and surtaxes which are
payable upon the recording of the deed as to the conveyance to Buyer only.

          (b)  All bills for utility services to the Subject Property shall
either (i) be paid by Seller up to the Closing Date or (ii) be fully accrued up
to the Closing Date as a current liability on the Final Closing Financial
Statement (as defined in the SPA) of Henry Lee Company (in which case Seller
shall not be obligated to pay such bills because the accrued liability will be
taken into account in determining the Net Working Capital (as defined in the
SPA) of Henry Lee Company and therefore in adjusting the purchase price payable
by GFS pursuant to the SPA). Any prepaid rents and other amounts paid under any
written and oral leases covering all or any portion of the Subject Property (the
"Leases") shall be prorated to the Closing Date. All claims for unpaid rent
shall be assigned to Buyer without additional consideration.

          5.   Conveyance of Title; Indemnity by Seller.

          (a)  Fee simple title to the Subject Property shall be conveyed to
Buyer at Closing pursuant to a deed direct from the Owner Trustee, which deed,
Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees, may take the form of a quitclaim
deed so long as such quitclaim deed is satisfactory to the Title Company (as
defined in Section 6 below) for purposes of issuing the title insurance policy
referenced therein. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, if such
quitclaim deed is not satisfactory to the Title Company for such purpose, then
Seller shall either cause the Owner Trustee to convey title to Buyer pursuant to
a Special Warranty Deed (as commonly known in Florida real estate transactions),
or shall procure and obtain such other instruments and documents as may
reasonably be required by the Title Company in order to issue the title
insurance policy referenced in Section 6 on the basis of the quitclaim deed from
the Owner Trustee.

          (b)  Subject to and expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the
Closing, Seller hereby expressly represents and warrants to Buyer that title to
the Subject Property conveyed by the Owner Trustee pursuant to any quitclaim
deed delivered by the Owner Trustee to Buyer at the Closing will be free and
clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, easements,
restrictions and rights of third parties created by, through or under either
Seller or the Owner Trustee, other than Permitted Encumbrances (as defined
below), and Seller further undertakes and agrees to defend such title against
all persons claiming by, through or under either Seller or the Owner Trustee.
For purposes of this Section 5(b) and all other purposes of this Agreement,
"Permitted Encumbrances" shall mean and include any and all liens, encumbrances,
security interests, easements, restrictions and rights of third parties
whatsoever that would not materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional
use of the Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being
used, including without limitation, all such liens, encumbrances, security
interests, easements, restrictions and rights of third parties which are
specifically identified in this Agreement as constituting "Permitted
Encumbrances."

                                       3

<PAGE>

          (c)  Seller represents and warrants that no work or materials have
been supplied to or incorporated into the Subject Property (other than routine
maintenance and repairs made in the ordinary course of business) which could
give rise to a lien of any kind prior to the date of this Agreement, and that no
such work or materials will be supplied to or incorporated into the Subject
Property prior to surrender of possession to Buyer which have not been paid for
in full or which will not be paid in the ordinary course of business. For the
avoidance of doubt, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will pay in
full all costs associated with any work performed on or with respect to the
Subject Property prior to the Closing in the ordinary course of business (it
being expressly understood by both parties that such payments may be made after
the Closing). Seller shall provide the following affidavits to the Title Company
that issues the commitment referenced in Section 6.

               (i)  Seller's Affidavit. An affidavit from Seller attesting that:
     (a) no individual, entity or governmental authority (except as to work
     performed at the direction of the Buyer) has any claim against the Subject
     Property under applicable construction lien laws; (b) no individual, entity
     or governmental authority is either in possession of the Subject Property
     or has a possessory interest or claim in the Subject Property; and (c) no
     improvements to the Subject Property have been made (except as to work
     performed at the direction of Buyer) for which payment has not been made,
     and (d) containing information necessary to enable the Title Company to
     delete exceptions to the title commitment for matters appearing during the
     so-called "gap" period and for parties in possession and boundary disputes.

               (ii) FIRPTA. A Non-Foreign Transferor Affidavit in accordance
     with Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
     "Code").

          6.   Title Insurance. Seller shall furnish Buyer at Seller's expense
an ALTA owner's title insurance policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company
(the "Title Company") covering the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase
Price and insuring good and marketable title to the Real Property and all
beneficial easements, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Such policy
shall have the standard exceptions for gap period, the rights of parties in
possession, matters discoverable by survey, and taxes and assessments other than
for the year of the Closing and thereafter deleted. The commitment for such
policy shall be delivered to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable but in no
event later than ten (10) days after the execution of this Agreement. Seller
shall furnish Buyer with a "marked up" title insurance commitment conforming to
the standards specified in this Section 6 and Section 8 below at the Closing.

          7.   Survey; Architectural and Engineering Drawings and Reports;
Service Contracts.

          (a)  As soon as reasonably possible and in no event later than fifteen
(15) days after the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer,
at Seller's

                                       4

<PAGE>

expense, with a survey of the Real Property showing the area, dimensions and
location of the Real Property to the nearest monuments, streets, the location of
all improvements and encroachments, and the location of all recorded easements
upon or appurtenant to the Real Property, which survey shall be subject to
Buyer's approval and shall:

               (i)  prepared by a Florida licensed surveyor. The survey must
     meet or exceed the minimum standards established under Chapter 61G17 of the
     Florida Administrative Code and must be certified by the surveyor to Buyer,
     Seller and the Title Company ;

               (ii) show the size, location and type of any and all buildings,
     structures and improvements on the Real Property;

               (iii)show that there are no rights-of-way over, or encroachments
     by any buildings, structures or improvements located on adjacent property
     onto or uses affecting, the Real Property or easement areas on the Real
     Property; and

               (iv) confirm that the legal description of the Real Property as
     set forth in the title commitment is exactly the same as the legal
     description set forth in the survey.

          (b)  Buyer's obligation to close this transaction is contingent upon
the Real Property being free from all encroachments and other survey defects
that would materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the
Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used. As soon
as reasonably practicable and in no event later than ten (10) days after the
execution of this Agreement, Seller shall also provide Buyer with copies of: (i)
all existing architectural and engineering drawings and reports concerning the
Real Property currently in Seller's possession or under Seller's control; and
(ii) all service contracts for all or any portion of the Subject Property, each
of which is listed in Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Contracts").

          8.   Correction of Title or Survey Defects. If the title insurance
commitment or survey discloses any title or survey defects that would materially
and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the Subject Property for the
purposes for which it is currently being used, Buyer shall notify Seller of
Buyer's objections to the defects within ten (10) days following Buyer's receipt
of such title insurance commitment or survey, as the case may be, and Seller
shall be obligated, as of the Closing, to discharge or obtain title insurance
coverage over any such liens, encumbrances, or mortgages that may be discharged
by the payment of money. If Seller is unable to cure any title or survey defects
that would materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the
Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used, Buyer
may, at its sole option, elect to: (a) terminate its obligation to purchase the
Subject Property and have no further obligation or liability under this
Agreement; or (b) waive any and all such defects and proceed to close this
transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge
and agree that (i) any title or survey defects that would not materially and
significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the

                                       5

<PAGE>

Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used shall be
deemed "Permitted Encumbrances" for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) Seller
shall have no obligation whatsoever to cure any such Permitted Encumbrances
(except that Seller hereby agrees to cure such Permitted Encumbrances, if any,
which may be cured at no cost whatsoever to Seller), and (iii) Buyer shall be
obligated to purchase the Subject Property and consummate the Closing
notwithstanding the occurrence or existence of any such Permitted Encumbrances.

          9.   Physical Inspection of Subject Property; Environmental
               Assessment.

          (a)  For a period of ten (10) days after the execution of the SPA (the
"Inspection Period"), Buyer shall have the right to further inspect the Subject
Property, to determine its physical characteristics and suitability for its use
by Buyer. For this purpose, such inspections, investigations, appraisals, tests
and determinations of the Subject Property during the Inspection Period shall
include, but shall not be limited to, inquiring as to the existence of utility
services, public services and access; review of any Leases relating to the
Subject Property; review of the blueprints and "as built" specifications for the
improvements on the Subject Property; and insuring compliance as to applicable
zoning ordinances, use regulations and business codes. Buyer's obligation to
close this transaction is contingent upon Buyer's satisfaction with its
inspection findings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above or
elsewhere in this Section 9, however, Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges and
agrees that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has performed a
Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment of the Subject Property, and that
Buyer is fully satisfied with the results of such assessments and does not
require, and will not be entitled to perform, any further soil testing, borings
or other tests or inspections of the state of compliance of the Subject Property
with Environmental Laws (as defined in the SPA).

          (b)  Buyer shall provide reasonable prior notice to Seller of any
proposed inspection or testing by Buyer or any Representative (as defined in the
SPA) of Buyer pursuant to this Section 9 and shall schedule such inspection or
testing so as to not disrupt the normal business operations of Seller at the
Real Property. Seller and its agents and employees shall fully cooperate with
Buyer and shall provide Buyer with such information and records as Buyer may
reasonably request concerning the Real Property. Costs and expenses incurred in
connection with Buyer's inspection and testing of the Real Property shall be
paid by Buyer. Upon completion of its inspections, Buyer shall repair and
restore any damage to the Subject Property caused by such inspections and
testing.

          (c)  Buyer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and hold Seller
harmless for any and all Losses (as defined in Section 17(a) below) arising out
of any damage to property or any personal injury or death suffered by any person
(including, but not limited to, Buyer or any Representative (as defined in the
SPA) of Buyer) resulting from or arising out of the negligence of Buyer or any
Representative of Buyer in connection with any of the activities contemplated by
this Section 9.

contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements described in Section
11(g) and the documents referenced therein. Henry Lee Company, a Florida
corporation, shall be released from all of its obligations under the Synthetic
Lease Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents, and all documents and
instruments executed in connection therewith including, but not limited to, that
certain Guaranty executed in connection with the Synthetic Lease Documents and
that certain Guaranty included within the Revolving Credit Documents,
concurrently with the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the related transactions described in Section 11(g) above.

          As Buyer shall determine that each of the conditions set forth above
have been satisfied prior to the Closing, Buyer shall so notify Seller in
writing. Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement without liability to
either party, in the absence of such notice as to any condition prior to the
Closing.

          12.  Seller's Conditions Precedent. Seller shall not be obligated to
close the transaction contemplated hereunder unless the conditions precedent
specified in Section 11(g) and 11(i) above shall each have been satisfied prior
to the Closing

          13.  Closing and Possession; Transfer of Property. The closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall occur within
three (3) days after all of the conditions precedent specified in Section 11
above (other than such conditions which are to occur simultaneously with the
Closing hereunder) have been satisfied or waived and Buyer gives Seller notice
of its intent to close; provided, however, that the Closing shall not occur
later than the earlier of September 7, 2003 or such later date (but no later
than October 5, 2003) as the date on which the closing of the transactions
described in Section 11(g) occurs. The date of Closing is referred to in this
Agreement as the "Closing Date". The Closing shall occur at the time and place
specified in the SPA for the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA
or at such other place as the parties shall mutually agree. Seller shall
surrender possession of the Subject Property to Buyer at Closing. However, prior
to Closing, Buyer and its agents, employees, contractors and consultants shall
have reasonable access to the Subject Property for purposes of the inspections
permitted under Section 9 above.

          At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer each of the following:

          (a)  A deed (which, subject to the terms and conditions specified in
Section 5(a) above, may be a quitclaim deed) duly executed and in recordable
form, conveying the Real Property to Buyer.

          (b)  A bill of sale (which may be a quitclaim bill of sale from the
Owner Trustee, but which shall include Seller's warranty as to title consistent
with the

                                       10

<PAGE>

provisions of Section 5(b) above) duly executed conveying the Personal Property
to Buyer.

          (c)  An assignment, in a form satisfactory to Buyer, assigning to
Buyer all rights and obligations Seller may have under any assignable Contracts
that Buyer desires to assume. All Contracts not assumed by Buyer shall be
terminated by Seller as of the Closing Date.

          (d)  All books, records and other financial information concerning the
Subject Property which are in Seller's possession or under Seller's control (the
"Books and Records").

          In addition, the parties shall execute and deliver to each other at
Closing a closing statement showing the computation of the funds payable to the
Seller pursuant to this Agreement, all of which funds each of Seller and Buyer
expressly acknowledges and agrees shall be released directly to the Owner
Trustee at the Closing. Buyer shall pay all of the documentary stamps/transfer
taxes and surtaxes which are payable upon the recording of the deed as to the
conveyance to Buyer only.

          14.  Synthetic Lease. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall procure or
obtain such documents or instruments as may be required in order to terminate
the Synthetic Lease with respect to the Subject Property and to release the
Subject Property from all liens and encumbrances created pursuant to the
Synthetic Lease Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents. Any such
instruments of termination or release, as the case may be, with respect to the
Real Property shall be in such form as the Title Company may reasonably require
to be recordable in the real property records of the county in which the Real
Property is located.

          15.  Condition of Subject Property.

          (a)  In the event the Subject Property should be damaged by fire or
other casualty or become subject to condemnation proceedings prior to the
Closing, Buyer shall nonetheless proceed to close this transaction, and Seller
shall, subject to the immediately following sentence, assign to Buyer, effective
as of the Closing, all of Seller's rights to any insurance or condemnation
proceeds and to cause the Owner Trustee and the Agent (as defined in the
Synthetic Lease Documents) to assign to Buyer all of their respective rights, if
any, to any such insurance or condemnation proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt,
Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any such
casualty or condemnation, (i) Seller shall use any insurance or condemnation
proceeds actually received by Seller (to the extent that Seller is not required
by the terms of the Synthetic Lease to turn over such proceeds to the Owner
Trustee or to the Agent) to repair (or commence repair) of damage to the Subject
Property caused by such casualty or condemnation, and (ii) Seller shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to Buyer at the Closing the remaining, unused balance,
if any, of such proceeds (including that portion, if any, of such proceeds paid
to the Owner Trustee or to the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Synthetic
Lease Documents).

                                       11

<PAGE>

          (b)  Each of Seller and Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 15(a) above,
in the event that all of the following conditions shall occur:

               (i)  any casualty damage to or condemnation of the Subject
     Property occurs prior to the Closing;

               (ii) any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are actually
     paid to the Owner Trustee or the Agent pursuant to the Synthetic Lease
     Documents prior to the Closing (all such proceeds being referred to herein
     collectively as the "Actual Proceeds");

               (iii)Buyer has provided written notice of the satisfaction of
     all conditions precedent specified in Section 11 (other than those which
     are to occur simultaneously with the Closing) and Buyer has deposited, in
     escrow with instructions for release upon the Closing, the full amount of
     the Purchase Price in the form of a cashier's check or wired funds to the
     Title Company or such other person as Buyer and Seller may agree in writing
     to act as escrow agent for purposes of effecting the closing of the
     transaction contemplated by this Agreement (in either case, the "Escrow
     Agent"); and

               (iv) either the Owner Trustee or the Agent, or both of them,
     shall fail to either (x) deposit with the Escrow Agent the full amount of
     the Actual Proceeds received by the Owner Trustee or the Agent, as the case
     may be, together with written instructions to release the same to Buyer
     upon the Closing, or else (y) issue written instructions to the Escrow
     Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to credit the full amount of the Actual
     Proceeds against the Purchase Price, to disburse to the Owner Trustee or
     the Agent, as the case may be, at Closing only the net amount of the
     Purchase Price after giving effect to such credit (and to release any and
     all instruments deposited into escrow by the Owner Trustee and/or the Agent
     against the disbursement of such amount to the Owner Trustee or the Agent,
     as the case may be), and to disburse to Buyer the portion of the funds
     deposited by Buyer equal to the amount of the Actual Proceeds at Closing;

then Buyer shall have the right, by written notice to Seller and to the Escrow
Agent, to cancel the proposed purchase of the Subject Property and terminate
this Agreement, and upon such termination, neither party shall have any further
liability to the other hereunder or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          16.  Insurance; Risk of Loss. Until the Closing, Seller shall maintain
in full force and effect all fire and public liability insurance covering the
Subject Property maintained by Seller in the ordinary course of business, and
such insurance with respect to casualty damage shall be for the replacement
value of the Subject Property. The risk of loss shall remain with Seller until
Closing, subject to Buyer's rights under Section 15, above.

                                       12

          17 . Seller's Indemnities.

          (a)  Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses (including diminution in value), damages,
claims, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable actual attorney's fees
(collectively, "Losses") to the extent, if any, such Losses are incurred as the
result of any of the following: (i) the failure of any of the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement to be true and accurate in all
respects (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Losses
arising out of or in connection with exceptions to such representations and
warranties expressly disclosed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the SPA);
(ii) the failure of Seller to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement; (iii) any act or event occurring on or in connection with the Subject
Property prior to the date of Closing or otherwise attributable (but solely to
the extent so attributable) to the use or operation of the Subject Property
prior to Closing, including, but not limited to, liabilities for environmental
contamination caused by the release of Hazardous Substances in, on or under the
Subject Property prior to Closing; or (iv) the failure of Seller to pay any of
its debts, charges, taxes, liabilities or other obligations, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent, known or unknown as of the date of Closing. The terms of
this Section 17 shall survive for two years following the Closing (except that,
with respect to any matters relating to the representations set forth in
subsections (a), (b) and (c) (to the extent specified in the introductory
paragraph of Section 10) of Section 10 above and any matters relating to
environmental contamination covered by subclause (iii) above, the provisions of
this Section 17 shall survive for one month after the maximum period permitted
by law.

          (b)  Seller's liability under the indemnity set forth above shall be
subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 10
of the SPA, including, without limitation, the application of the Seller
Deductible (as defined in Section 10.1 thereof). In addition, and without
limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer expressly
acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no liability to indemnify Buyer
for any Losses under Section 17(a) above to the extent such Losses arise from or
are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Buyer
Party (as defined in the SPA), or (ii) any act or event occurring on or in
connection with the Subject Property following the Closing.

          (c)  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge
and agree that, Sections 17(a)(iii) and 17(b)(ii) above shall be read together
so that, in the event that Buyer incurs any Losses in connection with or as a
result of any release of Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Subject
Property following the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Buyer solely for the
incremental increase, if any, in such Losses incurred by Buyer that is
attributable to any prior record of the release of Hazardous Substances in, on
or under the Subject Property prior to Closing.

          18.  Seller's Default. In the event of any material default by Seller
under this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall consist of any
default or defaults, which, if uncured, individually or in the aggregate, would
materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use and/or ownership of
the Subject Property for

                                       13

<PAGE>

the purposes for which it is currently used), Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller if such material default is
not cured within thirty (30) days following Seller's receipt of written notice
of such material default from Seller. In addition, Buyer shall have all such
rights and remedies as may be available to it under applicable law or in equity,
including, but not limited to, the right to recover such damages as it may be
entitled to as a result of such material default by Seller (including costs and
attorney's fees), or to specifically enforce Seller's obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer
shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of any default
by Seller that is not material, but may still pursue damage remedies, if any,
for such a default.

          19.  Buyer's Default. In the event of any material default by Buyer
under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Buyer if such material default is not cured within thirty (30)
days following Buyer's receipt of written notice of such material default from
Seller. In addition, Seller shall have all such rights and remedies as may be
available to it under applicable law or in equity, including, but not limited
to, the right to recover such damages as it may be entitled to as a result of
such material default by Buyer (including costs and attorney's fees). For the
avoidance of doubt, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not have
the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of any default by Buyer that
is not material, but may still pursue damage remedies, if any, for such a
default.

          20.  Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive for two years following the
Closing (except that the representations set forth in subsections (a), (b) and
(c) (to the extent specified in the introductory paragraph of Section 10) of
Section 10 above shall survive for one month after the maximum period permitted
by law.

          21.  Enforceability. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon, and be specifically
enforceable by Seller and Buyer, and their respective successors and assigns.

          22.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the SPA, contains

expresses the entire understanding between the parties with respect to its
subject matter. All prior communications concerning this transaction are merged
in and replaced by this Agreement.

          23.  Commission. Seller and Buyer each represent to the other that
neither party has engaged the services of a real estate broker or salesperson
and that no other person is entitled to a fee or commission as a result of the
transaction contemplated in this Agreement.

regular, first class U.S. mail (postage prepaid) addressed to the parties at

          Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it
          has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may
          present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over
          time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines
          have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
          information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained
          from your county public health unit.

          28.  Dispute Resolution. All Agreement Disputes (as defined in the
SPA) shall be dealt with as set forth in the SPA.

known by any executive officer of Seller or AFD, or any of Bruce Samples, Joe
Copeland, or Steve Trocke, or any of the foregoing officers or individuals
should have known of such fact or matter after undertaking reasonable inquiry.

                     VENDOR CONTRACT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

          THIS VENDOR CONTRACT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into and effective as of September 7, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by
and between SMART & FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), AMERICAN
FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a California corporation ("AFD"), SMART & FINAL STORES
CORPORATION, a California corporation ("SF Stores" and, together with SFI and
AFD, collectively, the "Sellers"), and GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation
("GFS Holding"), HENRY LEE COMPANY, a Florida corporation ("Henry Lee"), GFS
STORES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS Stores"), and GFS
Orlando, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS Orlando" and, together
with GFS Holding, Henry Lee and GFS Stores, collectively, the "Buyers").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and between SFI, AFD and GFS
Holding, GFS Holding will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of Henry Lee; and pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and among GFS
Holding, GFS Orlando and GFS Stores, and Sellers, GFS Stores and GFS Orlando
will, directly or indirectly, acquire from Sellers certain of the assets of SF
Stores and all of the assets of the Orlando Foodservice division of AFD
(collectively, the "Assets").

          B. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyers will continue
to operate the businesses conducted by AFD, SF Stores and Henry Lee in the State
of Florida (the "Business").

          C. Sellers are parties to various vendor contracts (the "Vendor
Contracts") described in the Schedules to the Share Purchase Agreement and the
Asset Purchase Agreement and to be assigned to or utilized by Buyers after the
Closing. Many of the Vendor Contracts are multiple party contracts ("Multiple
Party Vendor Contracts") which contain provisions unrelated to the Business, and
therefore Sellers have provided Buyers with summaries of the portions of the
Multiple Party Vendor Contracts which relate to the Business instead of
disclosing the entire contract. Buyers have requested, and Sellers have agreed,
to cooperate with Buyers in the use and operation of the Vendor Contracts,
including the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts, on the terms set forth below.

          D. Buyers have required as a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset
Purchase Agreement that Sellers enter into this Agreement.

<PAGE>

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Sellers and Buyers agree as follows:

          1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Closing of
the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and shall continue
until expiration of the last of the Vendor Contracts to expire. Buyers expressly
acknowledge that Sellers are under no obligation to renew or extend any of the
Vendor Contracts beyond their stated terms.

          2. Cooperation. From time to time after the Closing Date, Sellers
shall cooperate with Buyers in arranging for purchases within the State of
Florida pursuant to the Vendor Contracts. Sellers also shall permit Buyers to
contact the vendors under each of the Vendor Contracts so that Buyers may
establish new relationships with those vendors if Buyers so desire. Sellers also
shall provide Buyers with all correspondence, information and invoices related
to performance of the Vendor Contracts in the State of Florida to enable Buyers
to deal with such vendors on an effective basis.

          3. Contract Performance. Buyers may elect to purchase products under
the Vendor Contracts, and if and to the extent that Buyers elect to do so,
Sellers and Buyers each agree to honor the terms of all of the Vendor Contracts,
and to conduct their respective purchases under the Multiple Party Vendor
Contracts in such a manner as to not disrupt the purchasing rights and
obligations of the other parties to the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts. In
particular, Sellers and Buyers each agree to honor any payment terms of the
Vendor Contracts (subject to good faith disputes with such vendors).

          4. Indemnification.

          A. Indemnity by Sellers. Sellers shall, jointly and severally,
     indemnify Buyers and their affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
     controlling persons, agents and representatives and their successors and
     assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") against and hold
     each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, cost, penalty,
     liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
     fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding)
     ("Damages") incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties (whether
     originally asserted against or imposed on the Buyer Indemnified Parties by
     a third party or originally incurred or suffered directly by the Buyer
     Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of any breach of any
     representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed
     by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, or arising directly out of any
     liability or obligations under the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts to the
     extent such liability or obligations have not been disclosed to Buyers in
     the summaries of the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts (such breach, a
     "Seller Breach").

          B. Indemnity by Buyers. Buyers shall indemnify Sellers and their
     affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents and
     representatives and their

                                       2

<PAGE>

     successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties")
     against and hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or
     suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (whether originally asserted
     against or imposed on the Seller Indemnified Parties by a third party or
     originally incurred or suffered directly by the Seller Indemnified Parties)
     arising directly out of any breach of any representation, warranty,
     covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyers pursuant to this
     Agreement (such breach, a "Buyer Breach").

          C. Procedure and Payment.

               (1) The person seeking indemnification under Section 4.A, and 4.B
          (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice to the Person
          against whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the
          assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or
          proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such
          Section and will provide the Indemnifying Party such information with
          respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The
          failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
          Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
          such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
          Indemnifying Party.

               (2) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
          asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with counsel of its
          choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i)
          the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
          within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice
          of the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party
          from and against all Damages that the Indemnified Party may suffer
          resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the Third
          Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified
          Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party
          that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to
          defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification
          obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves
          only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable
          relief, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the
          Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

               (3) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
          of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this
          Section 4.C, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in
          the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel
          of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate
          counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

               (4) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
          cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and
          shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and
          testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
          hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested by any
          other party in connection therewith.

                                       3

          D. Calculation of Damages.

               (1) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 4.A and 4.B
          by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the
          Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies and the
          Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect
          any amounts available under such insurance policies.

               (2) If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
          coverage or from a third party with respect to Damages at any time
          subsequent to any indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party
          pursuant to Section 4.A and 4.B, then such Indemnified Party shall
          promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or
          expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with
          providing such indemnification up to such amount received by such
          Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such
          Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

          5. Force Majeure. Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall be responsible to
the other for any delay in or failure of performance of their obligations under
this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause
beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God,
fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties, war, embargo or other
governmental act, or riot; provided that the party affected thereby gives the
other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any event which has caused or is
likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting forth its best estimate of
the length of any delay and any possibility that it will be unable to resume
performance; and provided further that said affected party shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that
event and resume performance or utilization.

          6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

               A. Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate,
          the "Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective
          authorized agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers,
          directors, accountants, counsel and other designated representatives
          (collectively, "Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as
          confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any person to) all
          records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data
          and information (collectively, "Information") concerning the other
          party (the "Promisee") and the Vendor Contracts in the Promisor's
          possession or furnished by the Promisee or its Representatives
          pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor or its
          Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such
          Information, provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such
          requirement so that the Promisee may seek a protective order or other
          remedy or waive compliance with this Section 6.A, and (iii) in the
          event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or
          the Promisee waives compliance with this Section 6.A, furnish only
          that portion of such Information which is legally required to be
          provided and exercise Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances
          that confidential treatment will be accorded such Information;
          provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any
          Information that, at the time of disclosure, is available publicly and
          was not disclosed in

                                       4

<PAGE>

          breach of this Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and
          provided further, however, that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii)
          above shall not preclude a party from disclosing Information to its
          Representatives (provided that each such Representative shall be
          advised of the confidential nature of such Information) or from
          disclosing Information to or filing Information with any governmental
          authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party
          agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its
          obligations under this Section 6.A are inadequate and that in addition
          thereto the other party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief,
          including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any
          such breach, without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of
          monetary damages. The provisions of this Section 6.A shall not apply
          to the extent any such Information is required to be disclosed by
          applicable law.

               B. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
          communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in
          every case be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when
          delivered personally, (b) upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent
          by registered or certified mail, in all such cases with postage
          prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) the next business day if
          delivered by a recognized overnight courier service, airbill prepaid,
          designated for next business day delivery, to the parties at the
          addresses as set forth below or at such other addresses as may be

               C. Jurisdiction.

                    (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or
               any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of
               the parties hereto consents to submit itself to the personal
               jurisdiction of any federal court in the state of Delaware and,
               in case such court refuses jurisdiction then each of the parties
               consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any
               state court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further
               agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
               jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such
               court, and agrees that, except as permitted pursuant to this
               Section 6.C, it will not bring any action relating to this
               Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
               Agreement in any other court other than a federal court in the
               state of Delaware.

                    (2) In the event the state court specified in Section 6.C(1)
               refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the
               subject matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or
               proceeding brought by any of the Seller Parties against any of
               the Buyer Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
               any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each
               party to this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
                    the jurisdiction of any federal court within the
                    jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
                    Western District of Michigan (and each appellate court
                    thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
                    jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
                    Western District of Michigan or any state court in the state
                    of Michigan shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and

                                       6

<PAGE>

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
                    defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding
                    commenced in any federal court within the jurisdiction of
                    the United States District Court for the Western District of
                    Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan, any
                    claim that such party is not subject personally to the
                    jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has
                    been brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of
                    such proceeding is improper.

                    (3) In the event the state court specified in Section 6.C(1)
               refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the
               subject matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or
               proceeding brought by any of the Buyer Parties against any of the
               Sellers arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
               the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party to
               this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
                    the jurisdiction of any federal court within the
                    jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
                    Central District of California (and each appellate court
                    thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
                    jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
                    Central District of California or any state court in the
                    state of California shall be deemed to be a convenient
                    forum; and

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
                    defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding
                    commenced in any federal court within the jurisdiction of
                    the United States District Court for the Central District of
                    California or any state court in the state of California,
                    any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
                    jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has
                    been brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of
                    such proceeding is improper.

                    (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

               D. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the
          other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting
          (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor
          under Section 4), each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver
          to such requesting party such documents and take such other action as
          such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate
          more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

               E. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this
          Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor
          any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege
          under this Agreement or the documents referred

                                       7

<PAGE>

          to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or
          privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
          or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such
          right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power,
          or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)
          no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents
          referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole
          or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless
          in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given
          by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for
          which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be
          deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right
          of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action
          without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the
          documents referred to in this Agreement.

               F. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes
          all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject
          matter and constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
          of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject
          matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written
          agreement executed by the parties to be charged with the amendment.

               G. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither
          party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
          without the prior consent of the other parties, except that GFS
          Holding may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any
          Affiliate of GFS Holding. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
          Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to
          the benefit of the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of
          the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will
          be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this
          Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with
          respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This
          Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole
          and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
          successors and assigns.

               H. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
          invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the
          other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
          effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable
          only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the
          extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

               I. Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in
          this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect
          its construction or interpretation. All references to "Section" or
          "Sections" refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this
          Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of

          expressly provided, the word "including" does not limit the preceding
          words or terms.

          laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws
          principles.

               L. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement
          will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to
          express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will
          be applied against any party hereto by virtue of having drafted this
          Agreement or otherwise.

               M. Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this
          Section 6.M all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes
          between or among any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to
          this Agreement, including claims by one party that another party or
          parties hereto have failed to perform any of their obligations
          hereunder (collectively, "Agreement Disputes"), shall be resolved as
          follows:

                    (1) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement
               Dispute shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by
               means of a mediation conducted in the following manner. A party
               desiring mediation of any Agreement Dispute shall give or shall
               have given a written notice, in the manner set forth in Section
               6.B hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or parties
               setting forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended
               to be sought and shall submit such Agreement Dispute for
               resolution by facilitative mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under
               the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under the
               auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in
               effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have
               agreed, in writing, to resolve any such dispute by other means.
               Each party agrees that it will submit to and shall not challenge
               or object to the jurisdiction (either personal or subject matter)
               or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

                    (2) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
               resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days
               after submission thereof, then either party may commence a suit
               or legal action or an action at equity to enforce its rights or
               the other party's obligations or recover any damages arising from
               the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
               appropriate under the circumstances.

                    (3) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in
               any mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought
               with respect to an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover
               the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys,
               accountants, and expert witnesses in connection with any such
               mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
               accordance with the provisions hereof.

                    (4) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
               foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
               Agreement, a party may bring a proceeding against any other party
               hereto for specific performance or injunctive or other forms or
               equitable relief in the state or federal courts pursuant to the
               procedures set forth in Section 6.C without having to submit the
               matter or

               Agreement Dispute in question to mediation as hereinabove set
               forth, provided, however, that such party shall not seek any
               monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its
               failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights or ability
               to seek such monetary award or relief in another action or
               proceeding.

               N. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
          counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of
          this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed
          to constitute one and the same agreement.

               O. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between Sellers and
          Buyers for purposes of this Agreement shall be that of an independent
          contractor and not of employment and, except to the extent required to
          enable Sellers to perform their duties hereunder, neither party is an
          agent of the other. By entering into this Agreement, neither party to
          this Agreement is, in any way, assuming any liabilities, debts or
          obligations of the other party, whether now existing or hereafter
          created.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers have executed this Agreement as
of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

together with GFS Orlando, the "Buyers"), and SMART & FINAL INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Seller Shareholder"), SMART & FINAL STORES CORPORATION, a
California corporation ("SF Stores") and AMERICAN FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a
California corporation ("AFD" and, together with SF Stores, the "Sellers").
Buyer Member, GFS Orlando, and GFS Stores are sometimes referred to in this
Agreement as the "Buyer Parties," and Seller Shareholder, SF Stores, and AFD are
sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the "Seller Parties." Capitalized
terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth
in Article XI hereof.

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

          Seller Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of all of the
issued and outstanding equity securities of SF Stores and AFD. SF Stores is
engaged in the retail food store business in the State of Florida and operates
from several locations within that state. AFD operates, among other things, a
fresh meat processing business in the state of Florida under the name "Orlando
Foodservice" (the "Meat Processing Business"). AFD also conducts a foodservice
distribution business (the "Foodservice Business") through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Henry Lee Company, a Florida corporation ("Henry Lee").

          Buyer Member is the record and beneficial owner of all of the
outstanding membership interests of GFS Orlando and GFS Stores. GFS Orlando was
formed for the purpose of acquiring all of the assets that are used by AFD in
the operation of the Meat Processing Business and located in the state of
Florida. GFS Stores was formed for the purpose of acquiring certain of the
assets that are used by SF Stores in the operation of its retail store business
and located in the state of Florida. In a separate related transaction, Buyer
Member will acquire from AFD all of the issued and outstanding equity securities
of Henry Lee pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof by and
among Buyer Member, Seller Shareholder, and AFD (the "Share Purchase
Agreement").

          This Agreement is being entered into by the Buyer Parties and the
Seller Parties to set forth the terms and conditions upon which Buyers will
acquire from Sellers certain of the assets that are used by SF Stores in the
operation of its retail store business and located in the state of Florida and
all of the assets that are used by AFD in the operation of the Meat Processing
Business and located in the state of Florida.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and
covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE I

                           PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

          1.1 Sale and Purchase of the Assets. On the Closing Date (as such term
is defined in Section 1.6), Sellers shall sell to Buyers, and Buyers shall
acquire from Sellers, the Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than
Permitted Encumbrances), and Buyers shall assume the Assumed Liabilities (with
GFS Stores acquiring that portion of the Assets and assuming that portion of the
Assumed Liabilities relating to the Retail Store Business and GFS Orlando
acquiring that portion of the Assets and assuming that portion of the Assumed
Liabilities relating to the Meat Processing Business), on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          1.2 Purchase Price and Payment. The purchase price to be paid by
Buyers to Sellers for the Assets shall be Three Million Eight Hundred Seventeen
Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars ($3,817,132), subject to adjustment
following the Closing Date for changes in Net Working Capital with respect to
the Meat Processing Business and the Retail Store Business as described in
Section 1.4 below (the "Purchase Price"). The Net Working Capital of Sellers
with respect to the Retail Store Business and the Meat Processing Business as of
March 23, 2003, is Four Million Seven Hundred Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred
Fifty-Seven Dollars ($4,771,257) (the "March 23, 2003 Net Working Capital"). In
order to establish a reasonable estimate of the Purchase Price at Closing,
Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyers, not less than five (5) business
days prior to the Closing Date, a detailed written statement (the "Preliminary
Purchase Price Statement") of Sellers' reasonable good faith calculation of the
Net Working Capital with respect to the Retail Store Business and the Meat
Processing Business as of the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Net Working
Capital"). If the Preliminary Net Working Capital is less than the March 23,
2003 Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar for dollar
by such difference and if the Preliminary Net Working Capital is greater than
the March 23, 2003 Net Working Capital the Purchase Price shall be increased
dollar for dollar by such difference. The Purchase Price shall be paid at
Closing as follows:

               (a) An amount equal to the Purchase Price (based on the
Preliminary Purchase Price Statement) less the sum of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) shall be paid to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available
funds (the "Closing Payment"); and

               (b) The sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the "Escrow
Payment") shall be delivered to Wells Fargo Bank (the "Escrow Agent") to be held
in escrow on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Escrow
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Escrow
Agreement").

          1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
GFS Stores will, and Buyer Member will cause GFS Stores to, assume and become
responsible for all of the Assumed Liabilities relating to the Retail Store
Business and GFS Orlando will, and Buyer Member will cause GFS Orlando to,
assume and become responsible for all of the Assumed Liabilities relating to the
Meat Processing Business at the Closing, specifically including those
liabilities identified on Schedule 1.3(a). Buyers will not assume or have any
responsibility, however, with respect to any other obligation or liability of
the Seller Parties not included within

                                       2

<PAGE>

the Assumed Liabilities, including those specifically set forth on Schedule
1.3(b) (the "Excluded Liabilities").

          1.4 Adjustment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted
on a dollar-for-dollar basis to reflect any increases or decreases in the
Preliminary Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Net Working Capital" means the difference between (a) the
sum of cash, cash equivalents, temporary investments, accounts receivable,
inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets and (b) the sum of
accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, in each
case solely with respect to the Assets being acquired and the Assumed
Liabilities being assumed hereunder and in each case computed in accordance with
GAAP utilizing the accounting policies and practices set forth on Schedule 1.4.

          1.5 Adjustment Procedure.

               (a) Seller Shareholder shall prepare the Closing Financial
Statement (as defined below) and shall cause Ernst & Young, LLP to undertake a
balance sheet audit (the "Balance Sheet Audit") with respect to the Retail Store
Business and the Meat Processing Business as of the Closing Date and compute the
Net Working Capital of Sellers as of the Closing Date with respect to the Retail
Store Business and the Meat Processing Business and the adjustment, if any, to
the Purchase Price required by Section 1.4, and Ernst & Young LLP shall, and
Seller Shareholder shall cause Ernst & Young, LLP to, deliver to Buyer Parties,
within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, a detailed written statement
with reasonable supporting documentation (the "Closing Financial Statement")
reflecting the result of its audit. Buyers and Sellers shall have access to, and
will have the opportunity to present to Ernst & Young, LLP any material relating
to, the Closing Financial Statement, and to discuss the audit of the Closing
Financial Statement with Ernst & Young, LLP. The parties agree that with respect
to the audit contemplated by this Agreement and by Section 1.4(a) of the Share
Purchase Agreement, (i) the Seller Shareholder's cost shall not exceed, in the
aggregate, Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) and that any amount in excess
of $35,000 shall be the obligation of Buyers, and (ii) the Seller Shareholder
shall cause Ernst & Young LLP to limit the scope of such audit upon receiving a
reasonable written request from Buyers setting forth the scope of such
restrictions within five (5) days of Ernst & Young LLP commencing such audit.
For the avoidance of doubt, other than (A) the adjustment of the Purchase Price
to reflect changes in the Preliminary Net Working Capital pursuant to Section
1.4 and (B) claims for breaches of the representations and warranties contained
in this Agreement that require the Seller Parties to indemnify Buyers pursuant
to Article X , the Balance Sheet Audit shall have no effect on any adjustment to
the Purchase Price. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing
Financial Statement Buyer Parties have not given Seller Shareholder notice of
their objection to the Closing Financial Statement (which notice must contain a
reasonable statement of the basis of the objection), then the Closing Financial
Statement shall be deemed to be the "Final Closing Financial Statement" and the
Net Working Capital amount set forth therein shall be deemed to be the "Final
Net Working Capital". If Buyer Parties give such notice of objection, then the
issues in dispute will be submitted to one of the "Big Four" national accounting
firms (other than Ernst & Young, LLP) mutually acceptable to Buyer Parties and
Seller Parties (the "Accountants") for resolution. If issues in dispute are
submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (i) each party will furnish to the
Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the

                                       3

<PAGE>

disputed issues as the Accountants may reasonably request and are available to
that party (or its independent public accountants), and will be afforded the
opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the
determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; (ii) the
determination by the Accountants, as set forth in a notice delivered to both
parties by the Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and
(iii) Buyer Parties will bear fifty percent (50%) and Seller Parties will bear
fifty percent (50%) of the fees of the Accountants for such determination. If
Buyer Parties have given a notice of objection in accordance with this Section
1.5(a), the Closing Financial Statement, as modified by resolution of any such
disputes with respect thereto by the Accountants, shall be the "Final Closing
Financial Statement" and the Net Working Capital amount set forth therein shall
be the "Final Net Working Capital".

               (b) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Final Net Working
Capital is greater than the Preliminary Net Working Capital, Buyers will pay
such difference to Sellers in immediately available funds and the Escrow Agent
shall, and Buyers shall cause the Escrow Agent to, deliver to Sellers One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from the Escrow Payment in accordance with the
Escrow Agreement.

               (c) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Final Net Working
Capital is less than the Preliminary Net Working Capital (such difference, the
"Difference") and such Difference is less than or equal to One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), Sellers shall direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyers, from
the Escrow Payment, the Difference, and Buyers shall direct the Escrow Agent to
deliver to Sellers, from the Escrow Payment, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
less the Difference in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

               (d) On the fifth (5th) business day following the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement, if the Difference is
greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), Sellers shall direct the Escrow
Agent to deliver to Buyers, from the Escrow Payment, One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) and Seller Parties shall pay to Buyers, in immediately available
funds, the Difference less One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in accordance with
the Escrow Agreement.

               (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or in the
Share Purchase Agreement, any item which is contained within the Final Net
Working Capital or the Balance Sheet Audit or that has been reviewed as part of
the adjustment process in arriving at the Final Net Working Capital shall not
serve as a basis for an indemnification claim for a breach of a representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

          1.6 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") will take place at the offices of Foley & Lardner,
2029 Century Park East, Suite 3500, Los Angeles, California 90067-3021, within
three (3) business days following the satisfaction or waiver by the Buyer
Parties or the Seller Parties (as applicable) of all of the conditions set forth
in Articles VII and VIII, or at such other time and place as may be mutually
agreed upon by Buyers and Sellers (such time and date being hereinafter referred
to as the "Closing Date"). The parties currently intend the Closing Date to be
as of September 7, 2003.

                       POST-CLOSING COVENANTS OF THE BUYER
                         PARTIES AND THE SELLER PARTIES

          The Buyer Parties and the Seller Parties agree as follows with respect
to the period following the Closing:

          6.1 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action
is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of
the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery
of such further instruments and documents) as any other party may request, all
at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting
party is entitled to indemnification therefore under Article X below). Sellers
acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the Buyers will be
entitled to possession of all documents, books, records, agreements, and
financial data relating to the Retail Store Business and the Meat Processing
Business; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Buyers shall not be entitled to possession of any of Sellers'
Tax records.

          6.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any party
actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with
(a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact,
situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan,
occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior
to the Closing Date involving the Retail Store Business and the Meat Processing
Business, each of the other parties will reasonably cooperate with such party
and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and
provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be
reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole
cost and expense of the contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or
defending party is entitled to indemnification therefore under Article X below).

          6.3 Transition. The Seller Parties will not take any action that is
designed or intended, or may reasonably be expected to discourage any lessor,
licensor, customer, supplier, employee, or other business associate of Sellers
with respect to the Retail Store Business or the Meat Processing Business from
maintaining substantially the same business relationships with Buyers with
respect to the Retail Store Business and the Meat Processing Business after the
Closing as it maintained with Sellers (with respect to the Retail Store Business
and the Meat Processing Business) prior to the Closing. The Seller Parties will
use commercially reasonable

occur on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller Parties shall directly pay to
Buyers any deductibles related to any such claims.

               (b) Seller Parties shall pay to Buyers any amounts that Buyers
are required to pay with respect to workers' compensation claims arising out of

less than Ninety Six Thousand Dollars ($96,000).

               (c) After the Closing Date, Buyers shall maintain and provide
insurance policies for the Retail Store Business and the Meat Processing
Business (including, property, general liability and workers compensation) that

of their Affiliates, or any of their predecessors other than information
relating to the Assets or necessary to file any Tax Returns for any period that
includes the Closing Date.

          6.8 Assumed Contracts Consents. With respect to any Assumed Contract
for which any required consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing,
this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment
thereof if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach

the performance of the environmental testing.

               (d) Seller Parties agree that they shall be responsible for

                                   TERMINATION

          9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may, by notice given prior to
or at the Closing, be terminated:

               (a) By either Seller Parties or Buyer Parties if a material
breach of any provision of this Agreement has occurred or been committed by the
other party and such breach has not been waived or cured within thirty (30) days
of receipt of written notice of such breach by the other party and failure to
cure such breach would have a Material Adverse Effect; or

               (b) By the mutual written consent of Buyer Parties and Seller
Parties; or

               (c) By either Buyer Parties or Seller Parties if the Closing has
not occurred (other than through the failure of any party seeking to terminate

before October 5, 2003 (the "Termination Date"), or at such later date as the
parties may agree upon in writing; provided, however, that in the event either

obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the
obligations of Sections 12.1 and 12.3 will survive; provided, however, that if
this Agreement is terminated by a party because of a willful breach of the
Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the
terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a
result of the other party's willful failure to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will
survive such termination unimpaired.

aggregate.

          10.3 Procedure and Payment.

               (a) The person seeking indemnification under Section 10.1, and
10.2 (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice to the Person
against whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of
any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under such Section and will provide the
Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying
Party may reasonably request. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to
the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.

               (b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after
the Indemnified Party has given notice

                                       44

<PAGE>

of the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and
against all Losses that the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising
out of, relating to, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources
to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only
money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv)
settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is
not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a
precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests of the Indemnified Party and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the
defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

               (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3,
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such
Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose.
The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified
Party.

               (d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall
furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and
attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as
may be reasonably requested by any other party in connection therewith.

          10.4 Calculation of Losses.

               (a) The amount of any Losses payable under Section 10.1 and 10.2
by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the
Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies and the Indemnified Party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under
such insurance policies.

               (b) If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
coverage or from a third party with respect to Losses at any time subsequent to
any indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.1
and 10.2, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying
Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in
connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by
such Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified
Party in collecting such amount.

               (c) In no event shall either the Buyer Parties or the Seller
Parties be liable to the other party for any consequential damages unless such
amounts are actually paid or awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim.

               (d) The parties hereto shall treat any indemnity payment made
under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes,
including Tax purposes, unless required by law to treat such payment as other
than an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

                                       45

mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to an
Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief in the state or
federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.5 without
having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question to mediation as
hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall not seek any
monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its failure to do

with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing or known at the
date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in
such disclosure schedule. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall be
deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or warranty made in this
Agreement for purposes of Article X, but will not be deemed to have cured any
such breach made in this Agreement or to have been disclosed as of the date of
this Agreement for purposes of Article VIII.

          12.17 Reliance. All covenants, warranties and representations made
herein by any party (including the disclosures made on the Schedules) shall be
deemed to be relied upon by the other party notwithstanding any investigation by

counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Buyers,
the Sellers and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

          1. Appointment of Escrow Agent.

               (a) The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed escrow agent in
accordance with the instructions set forth in this Agreement and hereby agrees
to act as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no
duty to enforce any provision hereof requiring performance by any other party
hereunder.

               (b) The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow
Fund.

               (c) The Escrow Agent shall not have any interest in the Escrow
Fund, but shall serve as escrow holder only and have only possession thereof.
The Escrow Agent expressly waives any right to set off and appropriate any
amounts under the Escrow Fund.

          2. Distribution of Purchase Price Escrow Deposit. The Buyers and the
Sellers shall, not more than five (5) business days after the final
determination of the Final Closing Financial Statement and the adjustments to

provide the Escrow Agent with a written notice (the "Distribution Notice") with
respect to the disposition of the Purchase Price Escrow Deposit. The
Distribution Notice shall be signed by authorized officers of the Buyers and the
Sellers, and shall describe the portions of the Purchase Price Escrow Deposit to
be distributed to the Buyers or to the Sellers, as the case may be. Not more
than five (5) business days after the delivery of the Distribution Notice, the
Escrow Agent shall distribute the Purchase Price Escrow Deposit in the manner
described in the Distribution Notice, together with any interest and income
earned on the portion so distributed. The parties acknowledge that no
distributions shall be made under this Section 2 until the Final Closing
Financial Statement, and adjustments to the Purchase Price with respect to the
determination of the Final Net Working Capital, if any, have been determined
under both the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, and
that any such distribution will be of the net amount under both the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement.

Closing Date, may make an indemnification claim against the Indemnity Escrow
Deposit under and pursuant to Article X of

<PAGE>

(as applicable), on behalf of themselves or another Buyer Indemnified Party, for
up to all of the Indemnity Escrow Deposit (a "Claim") by delivering to the
Escrow Agent a certificate (a "Claim Certificate") signed by authorized officers
of the Buyers stating:

               (a) That the Buyers or another Buyer Indemnified Party are
entitled to be indemnified under Section 10.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and/or Section 10.1 of the Share Purchase Agreement (as applicable);

               (b) The reasons therefore, set forth in reasonable detail;

               (c) The amount of the Claim by the Buyers or such other Buyer
Indemnified Party, provided, however, that where the amount of the Claim is not
a liquidated sum, the amount of the Claim shall be the amount reasonably
estimated by the Buyers in good faith; and

               (d) That the Buyers have delivered a copy of such Claim
Certificate to the Sellers and their legal counsel and the date on which such
copy was delivered.

          Whenever a Claim Certificate is delivered to the Escrow Agent, the
Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly deliver a copy to the Sellers and their
legal counsel.

          4. Disputed Claims With Respect to the Indemnity Escrow Deposit. The
Sellers may dispute any Claim in whole or in part (hereinafter a "Disputed
Claim"), by delivering to the Escrow Agent a written notice (an "Objection
Notice") within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Claim Certificate from the
Buyers stating:

               (a) That the Sellers dispute or object in good faith to such
Claim in whole or in part;

               (b) A reasonably detailed description of the reasons for such
good faith objection or dispute;

               (c) That the Sellers have delivered a copy of the Objection
Notice to the Buyers and their legal counsel and the date on which such copy was
delivered;

               (d) The portion of the Claim set forth in the Claim Certificate
to which there is a good faith dispute or objection, including a reasonable
estimate of the dollar amount of such portion of the Claim (the "Disputed Claims
Amount"); and

               (e) The portion of the Claim set forth in the Claim Certificate,
if any, to which there is no dispute or objection, including a reasonable
estimate of the dollar amount of such portion of the Claim (hereinafter referred
to as an "Undisputed Claim").

          Whenever there shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent an Objection
Notice, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly deliver a copy to the Buyers
and their legal counsel.

                                       3

<PAGE>

          5. Payment of Claims With Respect to the Indemnity Escrow Deposit.

               (a) If the Escrow Agent does not receive an Objection Notice
within twenty (20) days of the date that the Sellers receive a Claim Certificate
from the Buyers, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly pay to the Buyers
from the Indemnity Escrow Deposit an amount equal to the amount of the Claim
specified in the Claim Certificate plus interest on the amount so paid, computed
from the date of the Claim Certificate.

               (b) If the Escrow Agent receives from the Sellers an Objection
Notice which consents or agrees to all or part, or does not dispute a portion,
of a Claim, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon promptly pay to the Buyers from the
Indemnity Escrow Deposit an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such
Undisputed Claim as specified in such notice from the Sellers plus interest on
the amount so paid, computed from the date of the Claim Certificate.

               (c) If the Indemnity Escrow Deposit is not sufficient to pay in
full any amounts payable to the Buyers under the preceding Section 5(a) or 5(b),
the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Buyers the full amount of the Indemnity Escrow
Deposit and all interest thereon and this escrow shall thereupon terminate.

          6. Distribution of Indemnity Escrow Deposit. Except as provided in
Section 5 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall not make any distribution of the
Indemnity Escrow Deposit with respect to any Claim made by the Buyers hereunder
until:

               (a) it receives the written consent or agreement from the Sellers
with respect to such distribution; or

               (b) there is a Final Decision with respect to a Disputed Claim.
As used herein, "Final Decision" means a resolution of the Disputed Claim by
facilitative mediation pursuant to Section 12.15 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and/or Section 12.15 of the Share Purchase Agreement (as the case may be) or, if
the Disputed Claim is not resolved by facilitative mediation, a final decision,
order, judgment or decree of a court having jurisdiction which is either not
subject to appeal or as to which notice of appeal has not been timely filed or
served.

          7. Administration of Escrow.

               (a) So long as the Escrow Fund is held in escrow, it shall be
invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent solely in Investments, pursuant to
written instructions signed by the Buyers and the Sellers. Neither the Escrow
Agent, the Buyers, nor the Sellers shall be liable or responsible for any loss
resulting from any investment or reinvestment made pursuant to this Section
7(a). All investments of the Escrow Fund shall be held by, or registered in the
name of, Escrow Agent or its nominee.

               As used herein "Investments" means:

                    (i) direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed
     by, the United States of America or any agency thereof with any residual
     amount being invested in the Federal Treasury Obligations Money Market
     Fund;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                    (ii) any taxable publicly traded money market fund;

                    (iii) certificates of deposit whether negotiable or
     nonnegotiable, issued by any bank, trust company or national banking
     association, including the Escrow Agent, provided that such certificates of
     deposit shall (A) be issued by a bank, trust company or national banking
     association having a capital stock and surplus of more than Five Hundred
     Million Dollars ($500,000,000), (B) be fully insured by the Federal Deposit
     Insurance Corporation or (C) be fully and continuously secured by direct
     obligations of, or obligations unconditionally guaranteed by, the United
     States of America, which (1) shall have a market value (exclusive of
     accrued interest) at all times at least equal to the principal amount of
     such certificates of deposit, (2) shall be lodged with the Escrow Agent (or
     any correspondent bank or trust company designated by the Escrow Agent), as
     custodian, by the bank, trust company or national banking association
     issuing such certificate of deposit, and (3) the bank, trust company or
     national banking association issuing each certificate of deposit required
     to be so secured shall furnish the Escrow Agent with an undertaking
     satisfactory to it that the aggregate market value of such obligations
     securing each such certificate of deposit will at all times be an amount
     equal to the principal amount of each such certificate of deposit (and the
     Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such undertaking); or

                    (iv) in the absence of written direction, the Escrow Fund
     may be invested in Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market, a money market
     fund.

               (b) Maturities or unexpired terms of maturities of instruments in
which the Escrow Fund is invested shall not exceed ninety (90) days. The Escrow
Agent is authorized to sell any such Investments as may be required to make any
payment required to be made under this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not
be liable for any loss due to early redemption. In the event that no written
instructions are given by the Buyers and the Sellers as to any uninvested
portion of the Escrow Fund, such portion shall be invested by the Escrow Agent
in United States treasury bills for a thirty (30) day period; provided, however
that if such period is not available, such portion shall be invested for the
closest period of shorter duration.

               (c) Not less than ten (10) nor more than fifteen (15) business
days prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deliver
to the Buyers and the Sellers a report outlining (i) the total amount of the
Escrow Fund as of such date and the total amount of interest earned on the
Escrow Fund prior thereto and not distributed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and (ii) copies of or a description of all Claim Certificates pursuant
to which payments from the Escrow Fund have been made and a description of all
other payments made from the Escrow Fund during the preceding twenty-three (23)
month period and all pending Claim Certificates as of such date.

               (d) At the prior written request of either the Buyers or the
Sellers at any time, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Buyers and the
Sellers such information as shall be

                                       5

<PAGE>

reasonably requested with respect to the Escrow Fund and any interest earned
thereon or payments made therefrom.

               (e) Net profits resulting from, and interest and income produced
by investments of, the Escrow Fund shall be deemed a part of the Escrow Fund and
reinvested by Escrow Agent.

          8. Reliance. Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or other writing
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the
proper person or persons and shall not be liable in connection with the
performance by it of its duties pursuant to the provisions hereof, except for
its own bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Buyers on
the one hand and the Sellers on the other shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Escrow Agent for one half (1/2) of all losses, costs, and expenses which may be
incurred by it without bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its
entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder. Such
indemnification provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the removal or resignation of the Escrow Agent.

          9. Distribution of Funds; Termination of Escrow. Unless earlier
terminated pursuant to Section 5(c):

               On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Indemnity
Escrow Deposit held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
less (i) all amounts previously distributed pursuant to Section 5 hereof and
(ii) an amount equal to One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Disputed Claims Amount
(including, for purposes hereof, all Claims with respect to which the Sellers
have not submitted an Objection Notice), shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to
the Sellers for the benefit of the Sellers, together with any interest and
income earned on the funds so distributed.

               Upon settlement of all Disputed Claims outstanding as of the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, this escrow shall thereupon terminate,
and the remainder of the Indemnity Escrow Deposit held by the Escrow Agent after
any payment due to the Buyers shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers
for the benefit of the Sellers, together with any interest and income earned on
the funds so distributed, in accordance with such settlement, written notice of
which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent.

          10. Fees and Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
compensation for its services as stated in the schedule attached as Annex I,
which compensation shall be paid one-half (1/2) by the Sellers and one-half
(1/2) by the Buyers. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is
intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent's services as contemplated by
this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the
disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow
Agent tenders any material service not contemplated in this Agreement or there
is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement not
contemplated herein, or any material modification hereof, or if any material
controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any
litigation pertaining to this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the
Escrow Agent shall

                                       6

<PAGE>

be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, occasioned by any delay,
controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable one-half
(1/2) from the Sellers and one-half (1/2) from the Buyers.

          11. Liability of the Escrow Agent.

               (a) The Escrow Agent shall hold, invest and disburse the Escrow
Fund and any interest, dividends, or other income accrued thereon only in
accordance with (a) this Agreement or (b) written instructions accompanied by a
certificate signed by the Buyers and the Sellers confirming that such written
instructions are being given in conformity with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall not be bound in any way by, or be deemed to have knowledge of, the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement or any other agreement
between or among the parties hereto, other than this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall have no duties other than those expressly imposed on it herein and shall
not be liable with respect to any action taken by it, or any failure on its part
to act, except to the extent that such actions constitute a breach of this
Agreement, bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

               (b) The Escrow Agent makes no representations and has no
responsibility as to the validity, genuineness or sufficiency of any of the
documents or instruments delivered to it hereunder. Subject to Section 11(a)
hereof, the Escrow Agent (i) shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment,
certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it
hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the
correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the
service thereof and (ii) may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person
purporting to give notice, receipt or advice or make any statement or execute
any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized
to do so. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon the written advice of
counsel satisfactory to it in reference to any matter in connection with this
Agreement and shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith
in accordance with such written advice.

               (c) In the event of any disagreement between the other parties
hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the
Escrow Fund, or in the event that the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as
to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from acting until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a final
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of
the amount of the Escrow Fund in dispute or (ii) written instructions jointly
executed by the Sellers and the Buyers directing delivery of the amount of the
Escrow Fund in dispute, in which event the Escrow Agent shall deliver the amount
of the Escrow Fund in dispute in accordance with such order or instructions. Any
court order referred to in clause (i) above shall be accompanied by a legal
opinion by counsel for the presenting party reasonably satisfactory to the
Escrow Agent to the effect that said order or determination is final and
nonappealable. The Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinion
without further questions.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          12. Resignation; Removal.

               (a) The Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days advance
written notice to the parties. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed by
the mutual agreement of the Buyers and the Sellers within the thirty (30) day
period following such notice, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction to name a successor escrow agent or may tender into the
registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any part or all of
the Escrow Fund, whereupon Escrow Agent's duties hereunder shall terminate.

               (b) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to its compensation earned
prior to its resignation hereunder.

               (c) The Buyers and the Sellers may, at any time substitute a new
escrow agent by giving thirty (30) days notice thereof to the existing Escrow
Agent and paying all fees and expenses of such Escrow Agent incurred to the date
of the substitution. Upon the effective date of the substitution of a successor
escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall deposit all of the Escrow Fund with such
successor.

          13. Tax Reporting.

               (a) Any payments of income from the Escrow Fund shall be subject
to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes.
For federal and state income tax purposes, all interest earned on the Escrow
Fund shall be considered the currently reportable income of the party who
receives the distribution with respect thereto. The Escrow Agent shall file
annually all information returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other
governmental authorities documenting such interest income.

               (b) Prior to Closing, the Buyers and the Sellers shall provide
the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing
appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent
may reasonably request. The Buyers and the Sellers understand that if such tax
reporting documentation is not so certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow
Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to
withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of
monies or other property held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

               (c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the
payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of funds
held or payments made hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability
to the extent possible from the Escrow Fund. The Buyers and the Sellers agree to
indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any taxes,
additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses that may be
assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to any payment or other
activities under this Agreement unless any such tax addition for late payment,
interest, penalties and other expenses shall arise out of or be caused by the
actions of, or failure to act by, the Escrow Agent.

                                       8

<PAGE>

          14. Miscellaneous Provisions.

               (a) Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate,

agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers, directors,
accountants, counsel and other designated representatives (collectively,

provide access to any person to) all records, books, contracts, instruments,
computer data and other data and information (collectively, "Information")
concerning the other party (the "Promisee") and the Escrow Fund in the
Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its Representatives
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor or its
Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such Information,
provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the
Promisee may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with
this Section 14(a), and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee waives compliance with this Section
14(a), furnish only that portion of such Information which is legally required
to be provided and exercise Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that
confidential treatment will be accorded such Information; provided, however,
that this sentence shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of
disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this
Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however,
that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party
from disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such Information)
or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with any governmental
authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and
acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this
Section 14(a) are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall
be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of
demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this Section
14(a) shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required to be
disclosed by applicable law.

               (b) Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every case
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b)

all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) the next

               (c) Jurisdiction.

                    (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal
court in the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then
each of the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of
any state court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees
that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion
or other request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted
pursuant to this Section 14(c), it will not bring any action relating to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other
court other than a federal court in the state of Delaware.

                    (2) In the event the state court specified in Section
14(c)(1) refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject
matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by
any of the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
     the jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
     jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District
     of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to
     be a convenient forum; and

                                       11

<PAGE>

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
     defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
     federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
     for the Western District of Michigan or any state court in the state of
     Michigan, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

                    (3) In the event the state court specified in Section
14(c)(1) refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject
matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by
any of the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

                         (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to
     the jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                         (ii) agrees that any federal court within the
     jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District
     of California or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed
     to be a convenient forum; and

                         (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a
     defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
     federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
     for the Central District of California or any state court in the state of
     California, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

                    (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

               (d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the
other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the
parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents
and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in
order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

               (e) Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this
Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay
by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right,
power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To
the maximum extent

                                       12

<PAGE>

permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement
or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party,
in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in
writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party
will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and
(c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any
obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or
demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

               (f) Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes
all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not
be amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties to be charged
with the amendment.

               (g) Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither
party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior consent of the other parties, except that (i) GFS Holding may assign
any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding, and (ii)
any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Escrow Agent shall be the successor of the
Escrow Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will
apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing
expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person
other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy,
or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors
and assigns.

               (h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

               (i) Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in
this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its
construction or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer
to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in
this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the
circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word "including"
does not limit the preceding words or terms.

               (j) Preamble; Recitals. The Recitals set forth in the Preamble
hereto are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

               (k) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws
principles.

               (l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement
will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

               (m) Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this
Section 14(m) all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or
among any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed
to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement
Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

                    (1) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement
Dispute shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a
mediation conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of any
Agreement Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in the manner
set forth in Section 14(b) hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or
parties setting forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be
sought and shall submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative
mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not
otherwise under the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the
"AAA") in effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed,
in writing, to resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that
it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction (either
personal or subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

                    (2) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after submission
thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action or an action at
equity to enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or recover any
damages arising from the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
appropriate under the circumstances.

                    (3) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in
any mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to
an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

                    (4) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief in the state or
federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 14(c) of Delaware
without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question to
mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall not
seek any monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its
failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights

                                       14

<PAGE>

or ability to seek such monetary award or relief in another action or
proceeding.

               (n) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers and Escrow Agent have executed
this Agreement as of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

obligations of the Seller Parties, whether or not asserted before or after the
Closing Date.

<PAGE>

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the recitals set forth above and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

          1. Non-Competition.

               (a) Definition of Competitor. As used in this Agreement,
"Competitor" means any person, corporation, partnership, association, joint
venture or other organization or entity that now or hereafter engages in or
attempts to engage in any aspect of the Business in the states of Florida,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, or any aspect of the foodservice business
in the Caribbean, Central America or South America (specifically excluding
Mexico from this definition) (the "Territory").

               (b) Covenant Not To Compete. The Sellers covenant and agree that
they will not, during the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), directly or
indirectly:

                    (i) engage in, continue in, or carry on, invest in, own,
manage, operate, finance or control, or participate in the ownership,
management, operation, finance or control, of any business that competes in any
aspect of the Business in the Territory, including, without limitation, owning
or controlling any financial interest in any Competitor in the Territory; or

                    (ii) be retained by, employed by, consult with, advise or
assist in any way, whether or not for consideration, any Competitor in any
aspect of the Business in the Territory; or

                    (iii) neither for itself or any other Person, induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of
Buyers or any entity controlled by or under common control with any Buyer entity
that may subsequently operate the Business to cease doing business with Buyers
with respect to the Business in the Territory or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of
Buyers with respect to the Business in the Territory;

                    (iv) neither for itself or any other Person, solicit the
business of any Person known to be a customer of Buyers with respect to the
Business in the Territory, whether or not Sellers had prior contact with such
Person; or

                    (v) engage in any practice the purpose of which is to evade
the provisions of this covenant not to compete;

provided, however, that the none of the foregoing shall prohibit the ownership
of securities of a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange
or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount that does not
exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any such corporation.

                                       2

<PAGE>

          2. Term.

               (a) The covenants stated in Section 1 (the "Covenants") shall be
effective from the date of this Agreement to and including the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Closing Date of the Share Purchase Agreement (the
"Non-Competition Period").

               (b) In the event of a material breach by Sellers of any covenant
set forth above, the Noncompetition Period shall be extended by the amount of
time during which such breach continues.

          3. Remedies. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or
otherwise afforded to Buyers and their respective successors and assigns, shall
be cumulative and not alternative. Sellers acknowledge and agree that the
provisions and restrictions contained in Sections 1 and 2 are not overbroad, are
not overlong, and are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate continuing
business interests of Buyers, that any violation or breach of such provisions
and restrictions will result in irreparable injury to Buyers for which a remedy
at law would be inadequate and that, in addition to any relief for damages that
may be available to Buyers for such violation or breach, and regardless of any
other provision contained in this Agreement, Buyers shall be entitled to such
injunctive and other equitable relief as a court may grant after considering the
intent of Sections 1 and 2.

          4. Enforceability. If any court determines that any of the Covenants,
or any parts thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the other Covenants and the
remainder of any of the Covenants so impaired shall not thereby be affected and
shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court
determines that any of the Covenants, or any parts thereof, are unenforceable
because of the duration or geographic scope thereof, the parties agree that the
duration or geographic scope of such Covenants, or any parts thereof, shall be
the maximum duration or geographic scope, as the case may be, provided by law,
of such Covenants, and, in such reduced form, such Covenants shall then be
enforceable.

          5. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every case
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b)
upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, in
all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (c) the next
business day if delivered by a recognized overnight courier service, airbill
prepaid, designated for next business day delivery, to the parties at the

the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state
court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted pursuant
to this Section 6, it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other
than a federal court in the state of Delaware.

               (b) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
     any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a convenient
     forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western
     District of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan, any claim
     that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (c) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Central District of California
     or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
     convenient forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central
     District of California or any state court in the state of California, any
     claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (d) In the event the state court specified in Section 6(a)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then in addition to the jurisdictions available to the parties under
Sections 6(b) and 6(c) above, any party also may commence a proceeding for
damages or equitable relief for alleged breach of this Agreement in any state or
federal court of the jurisdiction where the alleged breach occurs.

               (e) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

                                       5

<PAGE>

          7. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the other
party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the parties
hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents and
take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in order
to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

          8. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the
documents referred to in the Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          9. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete
and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with
respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a
written agreement executed by the parties to be charged with the amendment.

          10. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of
the other parties except that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the
benefit of the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right,
remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
successors and assigns.

          11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid
or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in
full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

          12. Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this
Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction
or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer to the

          15. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will

mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party hereto by virtue of having drafted this Agreement or otherwise.

          16. Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
16, all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or among any of
the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement, including claims
by one party that another party or parties hereto have failed to perform any of
their obligations hereunder (collectively, "Agreement Disputes"), shall be
resolved as follows:

               (a) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a mediation
conducted in the following manner. A party desiring mediation of any Agreement
Dispute shall give or shall have given a written notice, in the manner set forth
in Section 5 hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or parties setting
forth the nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be sought and shall
submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative mediation in
Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under
the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in effect on
the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in writing, to
resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that it will submit
to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction (either personal or
subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (b) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after submission
thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action or an action at
equity to enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or recover any
damages arising from the other party's breach or such other relief as may be
appropriate under the circumstances.

               (c) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect to an
Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees and
disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
with any such mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, a
party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto for specific
performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable

                                       7

<PAGE>

relief in the state or federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Section 6 without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in question
to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that such party shall
not seek any monetary award or relief in such action or proceeding unless its
failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek such
monetary award or relief in another action or proceeding.

          17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers have executed this
Non-Competition Agreement as of the date set forth in the first paragraph
hereof.

                   SOFTWARE LICENSE, USE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

          THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE, USE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"),
effective as of the 7th day of September, 2003, is made by and between SMART &
FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), AMERICAN FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a
California corporation ("AFD"), SMART & FINAL STORES CORPORATION, a California
corporation ("SF Stores" and, together with SFI and AFD, the "Licensors"), and
GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation ("GFSH"), HENRY LEE COMPANY, a Florida
corporation ("Henry Lee"), GFS ORLANDO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("GFS Orlando"), and GFS STORES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("GFS Stores" and, together with GFSH, Henry Lee and GFS Orlando, the
"Licensees").

                                    RECITALS

     A. SFI is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding equity securities of AFD and SF Stores. SF Stores is engaged in the
retail food store business in the State of Florida and operates from several
locations within that state (the "Retail Store Business").

     B. AFD is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Henry Lee, through which AFD conducts a foodservice
distribution business in the State of Florida (the "Foodservice Business").

     C. In addition to the Foodservice Business, AFD also operates, among other
things, a fresh meat processing business in the State of Florida under the name
"Orlando Food Service" (the "Meat Processing Business" and, together with the
Retail Store Business and the Foodservice Business, the "Florida Business").

     D. Licensors have historically used both proprietary and commercially
available computer software from their California operations in the conduct of
the Florida Business. Licensors have also provided technical support to the
Florida Business with respect to this software.

     E. Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 6, 2003 (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), GFSH is on the date of this Agreement acquiring from SFI
and AFD all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Henry Lee.

     F. In a separate related transaction, GFSH's wholly-owned subsidiaries, GFS
Orlando and GFS Stores, will acquire from AFD and SF Stores, respectively,
substantially all of the assets used or useful in the operation of the Meat
Processing Business and the Retail Store Business pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated August 6, 2003 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement" and, together
with the Share Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase Agreements").

     G. One of the conditions to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
each of the Purchase Agreements is the granting by Licensors to Licensees of a
fee-free license to use the

<PAGE>

Smart & Final proprietary computer software identified on the attached Exhibit A
(the "Licensor Proprietary Software"), as well as the right to use certain
third-party computer operating systems (the "OEM Software" and, together with
the Licensor Proprietary Software, the "Software") identified on the attached
Exhibit A used in the conduct of the Florida Business, under Licensors' licenses
with the third-party vendors, for a limited period of time. This Agreement does
not operate to grant any license in the OEM Software. This Agreement is being
entered into by the parties as required by the Purchase Agreements.

                                    AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Licensors and Licensees agree as follows:

     1. Grant of License for Licensor Proprietary Software. Licensors grant to
Licensees, and Licensees accept, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement, a non-transferable, non-exclusive license (the "License") to use the
Licensor Proprietary Software and related Documentation as identified on the
attached Exhibit A, including any updates or new releases related thereto that
are developed by or at the request of the Licensors during the Term to ensure
the reliability and continued functionality thereof. The scope and limitations
of the License are set forth on Exhibit A. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Documentation" shall mean all of the system specifications, help files
(including online help materials accessible through the Licensor Proprietary
Software), and technical manuals, and all other user instructions regarding the
capabilities, operation, and use of the Licensor Proprietary Software.

     2. Permission to Use OEM Software. Licensors grant to Licensees permission
to use the OEM Software (hereinafter the "OEM Software"), for the Term and
subject to all of the terms and conditions of Licensors' licenses with the third
party manufacturers of the OEM Software that are applicable to Licensors.

     3. License Restrictions. Neither Licensees nor their agents shall (i)
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software (except as may be
reasonably necessary to provide compatibility with Licensees' software for use
solely in the Florida Business); (ii) assign, sublicense, rent, timeshare, loan,
lease or otherwise transfer the Software; or (iii) remove any proprietary
notices (e.g., copyright and trademark notices) from the Software. Except as may
be provided herein, Licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to
the Licensor Proprietary Software and all derivative works. The vendors of the
OEM Software reserve all right, title and interest in and to the OEM Software.

     4. Technical Support. During the Term and subject to third party OEM
vendors' approval (in the case of the OEM Software only), Licensors will provide
Licensees with updates, modifications or changes to the Software which are
developed by or at the request of Licensors or become available from applicable
third party vendors during the Term and are reasonably necessary to correct
errors, and ensure continued efficient operation of the Software. All such
updates, enhancements, modifications or changes shall be included in the
definitions of Software. In addition, Licensors shall provide or cause to be
provided to Licensees reasonable technical support (which may be provided via
e-mail, telephone, or other reasonable means of communication) in order to
ensure the continued efficient operation of the Software.

     5. Confidentiality

          5.1 Definition. Each party agrees that all confidential or proprietary
information supplied by one party and its affiliates and agents (collectively,
the "Disclosing Party") to the other (the "Receiving Party") in connection with
this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) source and object code,
prices, trade secrets, business processes, mask works, databases, hardware,
software, designs and techniques, programs, engine protocols, models, displays
and manuals, and the selection, coordination, and arrangement of the contents of
such materials and (ii) any unpublished information concerning research
activities and plans, customers, marketing or sales plans, sales forecasts or
results of marketing efforts, pricing or pricing strategies, costs, operational
techniques, strategic plans, customer information, and unpublished financial
information, including information concerning revenues, profits and profit
margins that does not relate to the Florida Business, will be deemed
confidential and proprietary to the Disclosing Party, regardless of whether such
information was disclosed intentionally or unintentionally or marked as
"confidential" or "proprietary" ("Confidential Information"). Neither party
shall have any obligation with respect to Confidential Information which: (i) is
or becomes generally known to the public by any means other than a breach of the
obligations of the Receiving Party; (ii) was previously known to the Receiving
Party or rightly received by the Receiving Party from a third party; (iii) is
independently developed by the Receiving Party; or (iv) is subject to disclosure
under court order or other lawful process.

          5.2 Obligations of Licensees. Licensees agree not to make Licensors'
Confidential Information available in any form to any unauthorized third party
or to use Licensors' Confidential Information for any purpose other than as
specified in this Agreement. Licensees agree to take all reasonable steps to
ensure that Confidential Information of Licensors is not disclosed or
distributed by its employees, agents or contractors in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement. Licensors' Confidential Information shall remain
its sole and exclusive property. Licensees acknowledge that any use or
disclosure of Licensors' Confidential Information other than as specifically
provided for in this Agreement may result in irreparable injury and damage to

                                    RECITALS

Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Licensees will
operate the Businesses.

          D. Licensors are the owners of the trademarks (collectively, the

Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

          E. Licensees desire to obtain a license to use the Trademarks and the

into this Agreement.

<PAGE>

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the
representations and warranties set forth herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
Licensors and Licensees agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

          1. Grant of License. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Licensors hereby grant to Licensees a limited, non-transferable
(except as may be provided herein) license ("License") to Use (as defined in
Section 11 below) the Trademarks and Tradenames solely for purposes of
conducting the Businesses. Licensees shall not have any right to sublicense the
right to use the Trademarks or Tradenames to any third party.

          2. Exclusivity. Licensors grant to Licensees the exclusive right to
Use the Trademarks and the Tradenames within the Territory (as defined in
Section 11 below) during the term of this Agreement. Licensors covenant and
agree not to use the Trademarks or the Tradenames, or any combination thereof,
during the term of this Agreement within the Territory without the prior written
consent of Licensees. The parties acknowledge that Licensor's use of the
Internet, television and radio for advertising or other purposes in connection
with its business outside the Territory shall not constitute a violation of the
rights granted to Licensee hereunder.

          3. Restrictions. Except as expressly provided for herein, nothing
contained in this Agreement will be deemed to grant to Licensees any right,
title or interest in or to the Trademarks and Tradenames. Subject only to the
License, Licensors shall own all right, title and interest in and to the
Trademarks and Tradenames, including all Intellectual Property Rights and
goodwill therein and thereto. Licensees shall not use the Trademarks and/or
Tradenames with any activity that (a) disparages, or may be reasonably expected
to have a disparaging effect on, Licensors or any of their affiliates, or any
products or services of Licensors or their affiliates; or (b) violates or
infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of Licensors or any third party.
Licensees will not challenge or contest Licensors' ownership in, or the validity
or scope of, any of the Trademarks or Tradenames in any jurisdiction, nor the
validity of any licenses to any of the Trademarks and Tradenames granted by
Licensors to any third party in any jurisdiction, and will not do anything
inconsistent with Licensors' title, right and interest in and to the Trademarks
and Tradenames, including any attempted registration of any of them, or any use
or any attempted registration of any other trademark or service mark that is
confusingly similar to any of the Trademarks or Tradenames.

          4. Form of Use. Licensees agree to use the Trademarks and the
Tradenames in form and manner not materially inconsistent with Licensors' use
immediately prior to the date hereof. Licensees further agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of the products sold by
each of them in connection with the Businesses at a level reasonably consistent
with the level of quality typical of Licensors' products.

          5. Term. The term of this Agreement and the License granted herein
shall

                                       2

<PAGE>

commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years,
unless sooner terminated as set forth in Section 6 or unless extended by mutual
agreement by the parties.

          6. Termination. In the event that either party breaches this
Agreement, then the non-breaching party may provide written notice to the
breaching party indicating: (a) the nature and basis of such default with
reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement; (b) instructions for
cure; and (c) the non-defaulting party's intention to terminate this Agreement.
In the event that such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after such
notice (or such longer cure period as the parties may agree upon), the
non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice effective
immediately to the breaching party.

          7. Effect of Termination. The terms and conditions of the following
Sections will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3,
6, 8, 9, 12.1 through 12.3, and 13 through 21. In addition, the termination or
expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either party of any liability
that accrued prior to such termination or expiration. Except as expressly
provided in this Section 7, all other provisions of this Agreement shall
terminate upon the expiration or termination hereof. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, Licensees' license and right to Use the Trademarks
and Tradenames shall immediately and automatically terminate, all rights granted
hereunder shall automatically revert to Licensors, Licensees shall immediately
cease, completely and permanently, to Use the Trademarks and Tradenames and any
name confusingly similar thereto in any manner or for any purpose, delete the
same from their corporate or business name, and destroy all printed materials
bearing the Trademarks and the Tradenames. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of termination, Licensees shall have the right to Use the Trademarks and
the Tradenames (a) to sell products that are on hand at the date of termination
or expiration of this Agreement and with respect to those products that
Licensees are obligated to purchase at such date, and (b) to carry out marketing
projects to which Licensees have committed at the date of termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

          8. Royalty-Free. The License shall be royalty-free. The License is
being granted in consideration of the transactions described in the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement and no further consideration
shall be payable.

          9.   Indemnification

               9.1 Licensors shall defend Licensees and their affiliates, and
          their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members,
          stockholders, consultants and other agents (collectively the
          "Licensees' Indemnified Parties") from any and all third-party Claims
          and Losses (as defined below) imposed on, incurred by or asserted
          against any of the Licensees' Indemnified Parties as a result of any
          alleged infringement by the Trademarks or Tradenames on any third
          party's legally enforceable Intellectual Property Rights. Licensors
          shall indemnify and hold the Licensees' Indemnified Parties harmless
          from any and all such Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or
          asserted against them. Licensors' obligation to defend and indemnify
          under this subsection shall be conditioned on

                                       3

<PAGE>

          the following: (a) Licensees shall promptly notify Licensors in
          writing of the claim, action or allegation (but, in any event, in a
          time frame that does not prejudice the rights of Licensors); (b)
          Licensees shall provide all reasonable cooperation, at Licensors'
          expense, with Licensors in the defense thereof; and (c) Licensors
          shall have sole control of the defense and all related settlement
          negotiations, but shall apprise Licensees of the status of any
          proceedings or negotiations, provided, however, that no such
          settlement shall materially and adversely affect Licensees right to
          Use the Trademarks and Tradenames in the Territory during the term of
          this Agreement.

               9.2 Licensors shall not have the obligation to defend, indemnify
          and hold the Licensees' Indemnified Parties harmless to the extent
          Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
          Licensees' Indemnified Parties as a result of (a) Licensees' gross
          negligence or willful tortious misconduct; or (b) any allegation of
          infringement to the extent such infringement is attributable to the
          fact that the Trademarks or Tradenames have not been Used in
          accordance with this Agreement.

               9.3 Licensees shall defend Licensors and their affiliates, and
          their respective employees, officers, directors, consultants and other
          agents (collectively the "Licensors' Indemnified Parties") from any
          and all third-party Claims and Losses imposed on, incurred by or
          asserted against any of the Licensors' Indemnified Parties arising out
          of Licensees' Use of the Trademarks and Tradenames in violation of
          this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Licensors shall
          have the right, at their option and expense, to participate in the
          defense and related settlement negotiations of any claim, action or
          allegation to the extent it relates to the Trademarks and Tradenames,
          provided, however, that Licensors shall not settle any claim or action
          without Licensees' prior written consent, which consent shall not be
          unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If Licensors choose
          not to participate in the defense and related settlement negotiations
          as provided above, Licensees shall have the right to control the
          defense and related settlement negotiations, provided, however that
          Licensees shall not settle any claim or action without Licensors'
          prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
          withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event Licensors choose not
          to participate in the defense and related settlement negotiations
          pursuant to this Section 9.3, Licensors shall use their best efforts
          to cooperate with Licensees in the defense thereof and Licensees shall
          be liable to Licensors for Licensors' reasonable expenses incurred in
          providing such cooperation.

               9.4 Unless otherwise stated herein, "Claims or Losses" means any
          and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
          actions, suits, judgments, and reasonable costs and expenses awarded
          to, or agreed to be paid to, a third party of whatever nature
          including, without limitation, (a) indirect, special, punitive,
          consequential or incidental loss or damage awarded to a third party

          (including, without limitation, by way of settlement) against a party
          entitled to indemnification under this Section, and (b) reasonable
          administrative costs, litigation costs, and auditors' and attorneys'
          fees, both in-house and outside counsel, and related disbursements.

               9.5 This Section 9 sets forth the entire liability of the Parties
          with respect to Claims or Losses arising out of or relating to any
          claims, actions, suits or other proceedings in connection with alleged
          infringement of Intellectual Property Rights by the Trademarks or
          Tradenames or the Use thereof by Licensees, and the exclusive remedy
          of the Licensees' Indemnified Parties and the Licensors' Indemnified
          Parties in connection with such Claims or Losses.

          10. Maintenance and Enforcement of Registrations. Licensors shall have
the right and obligation to undertake such actions, including making applicable
registrations and filings with the appropriate authorities, as are reasonably
necessary to establish and protect the Trademarks and Tradenames in the
Territory or in any other jurisdiction in the world. Licensors shall pay all
costs or fees associated with any such actions, and Licensee shall provide all
reasonable cooperation to Licensors with respect to such actions. Moreover,
Licensors shall have the right to defend or prosecute any trademark infringement
actions as may be necessary to protect the Trademarks or Tradenames in the
Territory. Licensors shall have sole control of any such actions and all related
settlement negotiations. Licensees shall, at Licensors' expense, provide all
reasonable cooperation to Licensors (a) in assisting Licensors with respect to
such actions and any related settlement negotiations upon Licensors' request,
and (b) in protecting Licensors' rights in the Trademarks and Tradenames by
giving prompt notice to Licensors of any infringement that Licensee becomes
aware of.

capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them below:

               12.1 EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTION 13
          BELOW NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
          ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
          LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF
          DEALING, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
          MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE), AND BOTH
          PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL SUCH WARRANTIES.

               12.2 EXCEPT FOR BOTH PARTIES' INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER
          SECTION 9, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF EITHER PARTY'S AFFILIATES SHALL BE

          ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR SAVINGS, LOSS BY REASON OF SHUTDOWN IN
          OPERATION OR FOR INCREASED EXPENSES OF OPERATION, EVEN IF THEY OR ANY
          OF THEIR AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
          LOSSES OR DAMAGES.

               12.3 NO LIMITATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 12 SHALL RELIEVE
          EITHER PARTY AND THEIR AFFILIATES FROM LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES THAT
          RESULT FROM (I) THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL TORTIOUS
          MISCONDUCT; OR (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS.

          13. Representations and Warranties of Licensors. Licensors jointly and
severally represent and warrant to Licensees as follows:

               13.1 Licensors represent and warrant to Licensees that they own
     all right, title and interest in the Trademarks and Tradenames and have the
     absolute and unrestricted right, power, and authority to grant the rights
     hereunder.

               13.2 Licensors represent and warrant to Licensees that they are
     authorized to enter into this Agreement and that their license of the
     Trademarks and Tradenames under the terms of this Agreement shall not
     violate any other agreements, or obligations of Licensors, or any Federal,
     state, local, or foreign laws, rules, or regulations relating to Licensors
     or Licensors' use of the Trademarks and Tradenames.

               13.3 Exhibit A attached hereto constitutes a complete and
     accurate list and summary description of all U.S. and Puerto Rico
     registered trademarks and tradenames owned by Licensors and used by
     Licensors in the conduct of the Businesses.

                                       6

               13.4 Licensors do not own or use any patents, patent
     applications, or inventions or discoveries that may be patentable in
     connection with the Businesses.

               13.5 Licensors do not own or use any registered copyrights in
     connection with the Businesses.

               13.7 Licensors have taken reasonable precautions to protect the
     secrecy, confidentiality and value of any trade secrets which Licensors may
     own, and Licensors own such trade secrets and have the valid right to use
     same. To the best of Licensors' knowledge, the trade secrets are not part
     of the public knowledge or literature and have not been used, divulged or
     appropriated either for the benefit of any person (other than Licensors) or
     to the detriment of Licensors. To the best of Licensors' knowledge, no
     material trade secret is subject to any adverse claim or has been
     challenged or threatened in any way. For purposes of this Agreement, trade
     secrets are defined as all know-how, trade secrets, confidential
     information, customer lists, software, technical information, data, process
     technology, plans, drawings, and blueprints used in the conduct of the
     Businesses.

               13.8 Licensors are not a party to any contract or arrangement
     whereby royalties are paid or received by Licensors with respect to
     trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, rights in mask works, patents, or trade
     secrets.

               13.9 None of the current employees of Licensors that are involved
     in the Businesses have executed written contracts with Licensors that
     assign to Licensors any rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries
     or information relating to the Businesses. To the best of Licensors'
     knowledge, no employee of Licensors that is involved in any of the
     Businesses has entered into any contract that restricts or limits in any
     material way the scope or type of work in which the employee may be
     engaged, or requires the employee to transfer, assign or disclose
     information concerning his or her work to anyone other than Licensors.

          14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications
required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be effective when delivered if personally delivered or three (3) days
after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, and addressed to the parties at the addresses set
forth in Section 12.4 of the Share Purchase Agreement or at such other addresses
as the parties may designate in writing by providing notice thereof in
compliance with this paragraph.

          15. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified except
by a written document signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the
parties.

          16. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and to their respective assigns. This Agreement
cannot be assigned by any party except upon the express prior written consent of
the other parties hereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, provided, however, that Licensees may assign

                                       7

<PAGE>

their rights and obligations hereunder to any person controlled by or under
common control with GFS Holding or any purchaser of any portion of the
Businesses without first obtaining the consent of Licensors. Any assignee or
transferee (voluntary or involuntary) of rights in the Trademarks and the
Tradenames shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          17. Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be
prohibited or unenforceable by any applicable law, the provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent and for the duration of the prohibition of
unenforceability, without invalidating any of the remaining provisions.

          18. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 12.5 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

          19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between Licensees and Licensors with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all earlier agreements and understandings, oral and
written, between the parties.

          20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

          21. Construction. This Agreement shall be deemed to represent the
mutual intent of the parties hereto and no rule of strict construction shall be
applied against any party by virtue of having drafted this Agreement.

and continuing for two (2) weeks thereafter, at no cost to Buyers, Sellers will
provide Buyers with the use of an office at Sellers' Commerce, California
facility for one (1) designated person ("Point Person"), together with related
telephones, equipment and access (including remote access) to Sellers' systems
that apply to the Stores and the Florida Food Service Operations. Sue Mullins is
hereby designated as Sellers' initial contact with the Point Person, and the
Point Person shall be afforded full access to all of Sellers' personnel and
systems to assist in a smooth transition of the Stores and the Florida Food
Service Operations to Buyers. After the expiration of the two (2) week period,
the Point Person also shall be provided with remote access and access at the
Commerce facility for one (1) day per week for follow-up issues, and Sellers'
personnel will also be available by telephone to assist the Point Person in
connection with transition matters.

          4. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement
and the Asset Purchase Agreement and, at Buyers' option, shall continue for up
to six (6) months thereafter. The Term of this Agreement may be shortened upon
written notice from Buyers to Sellers; provided, that, if this Agreement is
shortened as to the provision of the Systems services provided hereunder, it
must be shortened as to all Systems services concurrently.

          5. Compensation for Services. In consideration of provision of the
transitional services described in Sections 1, 2 and 3 above (the "Basic
Services") to be provided by Sellers to Buyers in connection with the Stores and
the Florida Food Service Operations, Buyers will reimburse Sellers for the
actual out-of-pocket initial start-up and set-up costs incurred in connection
with the e-mail conversion, but in no event shall such reimbursement exceed
$50,000. Sellers shall receive no other compensation for the Basic Services. In
the event Buyers request additional services not included in the Basic Services,
the parties will meet to discuss same and the cost therefor, but Sellers shall
be under no obligation to provide any additional services, except upon terms
acceptable to Sellers.

          6. Default; Termination.

          A. Sellers' Default. Sellers shall be in default under this Agreement
     if Sellers breach any material provision or condition of this Agreement (a
     "Sellers' Event of Default"). If a Sellers' Event of Default occurs (i)
     which event does not result in a material adverse effect on the provision
     of Basic Services, and is not cured by Sellers within thirty (30) days
     after receipt of written notice from Buyers to cure such breach, or (ii)
     which event results in a material adverse effect on the provision of Basic
     Services, and is not cured by Sellers within three (3) business days after
     receipt of written notice from Buyers to cure such breach, then, in such
     event, in addition to any other right or remedy Buyers may have under this
     Agreement, Buyers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, so long
     as such Event of Default is not the result of the action or inaction of a
     third-party.

                                       9

<PAGE>

          B. Buyers' Default. Buyers shall be in default under this Agreement if
     Buyers breach any material provision or condition of this Agreement (a
     "Buyers' Event of Default"). If a Buyers' Event of Default occurs (i) which
     event does not result in a material adverse effect on Sellers' operations
     or information systems, and is not cured by Buyers within thirty (30) days
     after receipt of written notice from Sellers to cure such breach, or (ii)
     which event results in a material adverse effect on Sellers' operations or
     information systems, and is not cured by Buyers within three (3) business
     days after receipt of written notice from Sellers to cure such breach,
     then, in such event, in addition to any other right or remedy Sellers may
     have under this Agreement, Sellers shall have the right to terminate this
     Agreement, so long as such Event of Default is not the result of the action
     or inaction of a third-party.

          C. Limitation on Damages; No Offset. In no event shall Sellers or
     Buyers be liable to the other party for any consequential damages or lost
     profits in excess of $750,000, and in no event shall either party be
     entitled to offset against any amounts due under this Agreement any amounts
     payable under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement,
     or any other agreement executed in connection therewith.

          7. Indemnification.

          A. Indemnity by Sellers. Sellers shall, jointly and severally,
     indemnify Buyers and their affiliates, directors, officers, managers,
     employees, controlling persons, agents and representatives and their
     successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties")
     against and hold each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, cost,
     penalty, liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
     attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or
     proceeding) ("Damages") incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified
     Parties (whether originally asserted against or imposed on the Buyer
     Indemnified Parties by a third party or originally incurred or suffered
     directly by the Buyer Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of any
     breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to
     be performed by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (such breach, a "Seller
     Breach").

          B. Indemnity by Buyers. Buyers shall indemnify Sellers and their
     affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents and
     representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller
     Indemnified Parties") against and hold each of them harmless from any and
     all Damages incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (whether
     originally asserted against or imposed on the Seller Indemnified Parties by
     a third party or originally incurred or suffered directly by the Seller
     Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of any breach of any
     representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by
     Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, and from any and all liability or
     expenses, including fines by any governmental entities, incurred by reason
     of providing the Smart Advantage program

                                       10

<PAGE>

     information to Buyers pursuant to Section 1.A(5) above (such breach, a
     "Buyer Breach").

          C. Procedure and Payment.

               (1)  The person seeking indemnification under Section 7.A, and
                    7.B (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice
                    to the Person against whom indemnity is sought (the
                    "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim, or the
                    commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect
                    of which indemnity may be sought under such Section and will
                    provide the Indemnifying Party such information with respect
                    thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.
                    The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not
                    relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder,
                    except to the extent such failure shall have materially and
                    adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

               (2)  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
                    asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with
                    counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
                    Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party
                    notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen
                    (15) days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice of
                    the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the Indemnified
                    Party from and against all Damages that the Indemnified
                    Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating
                    to, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the
                    Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with
                    evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that
                    the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to
                    defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its
                    indemnification obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the
                    Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not
                    seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iv) the
                    Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party
                    Claim actively and diligently.

               (3)  So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
                    of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions
                    of this Section 7.C, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
                    to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and
                    to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose.
                    The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid
                    by the Indemnified Party.

                                       11

<PAGE>

               (4)  Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
                    cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party
                    Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such
                    records, information and testimony, and attend such
                    conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or
                    appeals, as may be reasonably requested by any other party
                    in connection therewith.

          D. Calculation of Damages.

               (1)  The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.A and 7.B
                    by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts
                    recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable
                    insurance policies and the Indemnified Party shall use
                    commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts
                    available under such insurance policies.

               (2)  If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
                    coverage or from a third party with respect to Damages at
                    any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by the
                    Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.A and 7.B, then
                    such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the
                    Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred
                    by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such
                    indemnification up to such amount received by such
                    Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such
                    Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

               (3)  In no event shall either Buyers or Sellers be liable to the
                    other party for any consequential damages or lost profits in
                    excess of $750,000.

          8. Force Majeure. Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall be responsible to
the other for any delay in or failure of performance of their obligations under
this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause
beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God,
fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties, war, embargo or other
governmental act, or riot that, in the case of Sellers, prevents Sellers from
providing services under this Agreement, or, in the case of Buyers, prevents
Buyers from utilizing the services under this Agreement; provided that the party
affected thereby gives the other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any
event which has caused or is likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting
forth its best estimate of the length of any delay and any possibility that it
will be unable to resume performance; and provided further that said affected
party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome
the effects of that event and resume performance or utilization.

                                       12

          9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          A. Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate, the
     "Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective
     authorized agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers,
     directors, accountants, counsel and other designated representatives
     (collectively, "Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential
     (and not disclose or provide access to any person to) all records, books,
     contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information
     (collectively, "Information") concerning the other party (the "Promisee")
     in the Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its
     Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor
     or its Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such
     Information, provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such
     requirement so that the Promisee may seek a protective order or other
     remedy or waive compliance with this Section 9.A, and (iii) in the event
     that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee
     waives compliance with this Section 9.A, furnish only that portion of such
     Information which is legally required to be provided and exercise
     Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment
     will be accorded such Information; provided, however, that this sentence
     shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of disclosure, is
     available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this Agreement by
     such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however, that the
     provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party from
     disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
     Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such
     Information) or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with
     any governmental authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party.
     Each party agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of
     its obligations under this Section 9.A are inadequate and that in addition
     thereto the other party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief,
     including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such
     breach, without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary
     damages. The provisions of this Section 9.A shall not apply to the extent
     any such Information is required to be disclosed by applicable law.

          B. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
     communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every
     case be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered
     personally, (b) upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered
     or certified mail, in all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt
     requested, or (c) the next business day if delivered by a recognized
     overnight courier service, airbill prepaid, designated for next business
     day delivery, to the parties at the addresses as set forth below or at such
     other addresses as may be furnished in writing:

          C. Jurisdiction.

               (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court in
the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then each of
the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state
court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as permitted pursuant
to this Section 9.C, it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or
any

                                       14

<PAGE>

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other than
a federal court in the state of Delaware.

               (2) In the event the state court specified in Section 9.C(1)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of Michigan;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
     any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a convenient
     forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western
     District of Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan, any claim
     that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such
     court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
     forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (3) In the event the state court specified in Section 9.C(1)
refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter
at issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any of
the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each party to this Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
     jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for the Central District of California (and each
     appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of California;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
     of the United States District Court for the Central District of California
     or any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
     convenient forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
     or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal court
     within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central
     District of California or any state court in the state of California, any
     claim that such party is not subject personally to the

                                       15

<PAGE>

     jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in
     an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

          D. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the other
     party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting (unless the
     requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 7),
     each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting
     party such documents and take such other action as such requesting party
     may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the
     transactions contemplated hereby.

          E. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
     are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by
     any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
     or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of
     such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any
     such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise
     of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right,
     power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a)
     no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred
     to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part,
     by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed
     by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
     applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c)
     no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any
     obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or
     demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
     Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          F. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
     prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
     constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the
     agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This
     Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the
     parties to be charged with the amendment.

          G. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
     may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without

               (1)  Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
                    shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by
                    means of a mediation conducted in the following manner. A
                    party desiring mediation of any Agreement Dispute shall give
                    or shall have given a written notice, in the manner set
                    forth in Section 9.B hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the
                    other party or parties setting forth the nature of the
                    dispute and the relief intended to be sought and shall
                    submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative
                    mediation in Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial
                    Mediation Rules (but not otherwise under the auspices) of
                    the American Arbitration

                                       17

<PAGE>

                    Association (the "AAA") in effect on the date of this
                    Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in writing, to
                    resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees
                    that it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to
                    the jurisdiction (either personal or subject matter) or the
                    venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (2)  Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
                    resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60)
                    days after submission thereof, then either party may
                    commence a suit or legal action or an action at equity to
                    enforce its rights or the other party's obligations or
                    recover any damages arising from the other party's breach or
                    such other relief as may be appropriate under the
                    circumstances.

               (3)  Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
                    mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought
                    with respect to an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to
                    recover the reasonable fees and disbursements of its
                    attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in connection
                    with any such mediation or any action or legal or other
                    proceeding brought in accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (4)  Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
                    foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
                    this Agreement, a party may bring a proceeding against any
                    other party hereto for specific performance or injunctive or
                    other forms or equitable relief in the state or federal
                    courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 9.C
                    without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in
                    question to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided,
                    however, that such party shall not seek any monetary award
                    or relief in such action or proceeding unless its failure to
                    do so would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek
                    such monetary award or relief in another action or
                    proceeding.

          N. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
     counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
     Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to
     constitute one and the same agreement.

          O. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between Sellers and
     Buyers for purposes of this Agreement shall be that of an independent
     contractor and not of employment and, except to the extent required to
     enable Sellers to perform their duties hereunder, neither party is an agent
     of the other. By entering into this

                                       18

<PAGE>

     Agreement, neither party to this Agreement is, in any way, assuming any
     liabilities, debts or obligations of the other party, whether now existing
     or hereafter created.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers have executed this Agreement as of
     the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

                           EMPLOYEE LEASING AGREEMENT

          THIS EMPLOYEE LEASING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into and
effective as of September 7, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by and between SMART &
FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), AMERICAN FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a
California corporation ("AFD"), SMART & FINAL STORES CORPORATION, a California

"Sellers"), and GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation ("GFS Holding"), HENRY
LEE COMPANY, a Florida corporation ("Henry Lee"), GFS STORES, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("GFS Stores"), and GFS Orlando, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("GFS Orlando" and together with GFS Holding, Henry
Lee and GFS Stores, collectively, the "Buyers"). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Share
Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and between SFI and AFD and GFS
Holding, GFS Holding will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of Henry Lee; and pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and among GFS
Holding, GFS Orlando, and GFS Stores, and Sellers, GFS Stores and GFS Orlando
will, directly or indirectly, acquire from Sellers certain of the assets of SF
Stores and all of the assets of the Orlando Foodservice division of AFD
(collectively, the "Assets").

          B. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyers will continue
to operate the businesses operated by AFD, SF Stores and Henry Lee in the State
of Florida (the "Business").

          C. Buyers desire to lease from Sellers certain employees of Sellers
who are knowledgeable about the certain aspects of the Business and for the
purpose of performing such tasks as are beneficial to the transition and
ownership of the Business.

          D. Buyers have required as a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase
Agreement that Sellers enter into this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Sellers and Buyers agree as follows:

1.   Lease of Employees.

          1.1 Leased Employees. During the period beginning 12:01 a.m. on the
Effective Date and ending on 11:59 p.m. on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date (the "Lease Period"), and subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, Sellers shall furnish to Buyers the full-

<PAGE>

time services of the Leased Employees of Sellers listed on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto (the "Leased Employees").

          1.2 Location. The location of work to be performed by of each Leased
Employee shall be as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, unless otherwise
consented to by Sellers.

          1.3 Payment and Employment Policies. Sellers shall have sole
responsibility for: (i) establishment and payment of all wages, salaries and
other forms of compensation for the Leased Employees; (ii) payment of all
payroll, social security and unemployment taxes related to the Leased Employees;
(iii) establishing all personnel policies and employee benefit programs for the
Leased Employees; and (iv) determination of work schedules for the Leased
Employees. Buyers shall have full authority to direct the Leased Employees with
respect to the performance by Leased Employees of their respective Services (as
defined below) to Buyers. Sellers shall use their reasonable diligent efforts to
ensure that the Leased Employees perform the Services (as defined below) in the
best interests of Buyers.

          1.4 Employment of Leased Employees. Sellers shall have full
responsibility and authority for decisions regarding termination and
reassignment of Leased Employees. In the event that Buyers provide reasonable
evidence to Sellers that the performance of a Leased Employee is unsatisfactory
or if Buyers notify Sellers that the services of a particular Leased Employee
are no longer needed, then Sellers shall reassign the Leased Employee from
Buyers, subject to and in accordance with the personnel policies of Sellers. In
the event Buyers request the reassignment of the services of a Leased Employee,
or in the event of the resignation, retirement or other termination of services
by a Leased Employee for Buyers, such Leased Employee shall be reassigned to
Sellers, who shall be responsible for taking any action with respect to such
Leased Employee's employment by Sellers. Leased Employees who are reassigned
from Buyers or are terminated during the Lease Period are referred to herein as
"Former Leased Employees." Exhibit "A" shall be revised to exclude such Former
Leased Employees from time to time, as appropriate.

          1.5 Permanent Hire. Buyers may, in their discretion and at any time
during the Lease Period, offer to permanently hire any of the Leased Employees
without any additional compensation therefor payable to Sellers, other than for
the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement.

2.   Payment For Leased Employees.

          2.1 Payment Terms. On or before the 25th day of each calendar month,
Sellers shall issue an invoice to Buyers specifying the Reimbursable Amount (as
defined in Section 2.2 below) for the immediately preceding calendar month.
Buyers shall pay the Reimbursable Amount specified in each such invoice within

          6.1 Buyers and Sellers shall each have the following rights and
obligations with respect to the maintenance of records and the following rights
with respect to the inspection of the records maintained by the other:

               (a) Buyers shall maintain accurate records of all hours worked by

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

is attributable to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, any act of God, fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties,
war, embargo or other governmental act, or riot that, in the case of Sellers,
prevents Sellers from providing Leased Employees under this Agreement, or, in
the case of Buyers, prevents Buyers from utilizing the services of Leased
Employees under this Agreement; provided that the party affected thereby gives
the other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any event which has caused or
is likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting forth its best estimate of
the length of any delay and any possibility that it will be unable to resume
performance; and provided further that said affected party shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that
event and resume performance or utilization.

               (a) By either Sellers or Buyers upon not less than fifteen (15)
     days' prior written notice to the other party in the event that such other
     party has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement and has
     failed or refused to remedy such breach within fifteen (15) days after
     written demand therefor is given by the aggrieved party to the other or in
     the event that such other party has materially breached the same obligation
     under this Agreement more than once (regardless of whether such breach is
     remedied);

               (b) By either Sellers or Buyers upon written notice to the other
     party, effective immediately, in the event the other party shall become the
     subject (voluntarily or involuntarily) of any proceeding relating to
     bankruptcy or insolvency, or make an assignment or other arrangement for
     the benefit of its creditors, or be dissolved or liquidated (except as a
     consequence of a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization
     not involving the insolvency of such dissolved or liquidated party);

with respect to the service of the Leased Employees provided under this
Agreement other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 above.

10.  Limited Warranty; Limitation of Liability; Compliance with Employment Laws.

          10.1 Warranties of Compliance with Employment Laws. As an inducement
to the parties to enter into this Agreement, Buyers and Sellers represent,
warrant and covenant to each other that they each will comply in all material
respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations
and ordinances applicable to the Leased Employees and their services hereunder,
to the extent that such party exclusively controls a matter or supervises a
Leased Employee with respect to a matter, including without limitation, those
relating to

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

workers' compensation, labor and employment relations, employee health and
safety, and employment discrimination.

          10.2 Limitation of Warranty; Limitation of Liability. Except as
expressly provided in Section 10.1, Leased Employees are provided under this
Agreement without warranty of any kind whatsoever. For breaches of warranty and
other breaches of contract with respect to this Agreement, Seller's liability
shall in no event exceed the total amount paid by Buyers under this Agreement.
Without limitation, Sellers SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM: (A)
ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR
WARRANTY; (B) ANY OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM TORT CLAIMS
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR ARISING UNDER OTHER THEORIES OF
LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LEASED EMPLOYEES
HEREUNDER; AND (C) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF LEASED EMPLOYEES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.

11.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

          11.1 Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate, the
"Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective authorized
agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers, directors,
accountants, counsel and other designated representatives (collectively,
"Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or
provide access to any person to) all records, books, contracts, instruments,
computer data and other data and information (collectively, "Information")
concerning the other party (the "Promisee") or the Leased Employees in the
Promisor's possession or furnished by the Promisee or its Representatives
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that Promisor or its
Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such Information,
provide the Promisee with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the
Promisee may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with
this Section 11.1, and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, or the Promisee waives compliance with this Section
11.1, furnish only that portion of such Information which is legally required to
be provided and exercise Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that
confidential treatment will be accorded such Information; provided, however,
that this sentence shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of
disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this
Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however,
that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not preclude a party
from disclosing Information to its Representatives (provided that each such
Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such Information)
or from disclosing Information to or filing Information with any governmental
authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and
acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this
Section 11.1 are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall
be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of
demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this Section
11.1 shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required to be
disclosed by applicable law.

          11.3 Jurisdiction.

          (a) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of
     the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
     consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court
     in the state of Delaware and, in case such court refuses jurisdiction then
     each of the parties consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction
     of any state court in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties further
     agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
     jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and
     agrees that, except as permitted pursuant to this Section 11.3, it will not
     bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement in any other court other than a federal
     court in the state of Delaware.

          (b) In the event the state court specified in Section 11.3(a) refuses
     to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter at
     issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any
     of the Seller Parties against any of the Buyer Parties arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

               (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
          jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan (and
          each appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of
          Michigan;

               (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan or
          any state court in the state of Michigan shall be deemed to be a
          convenient forum; and

               (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or
          otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal
          court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
          the Western District of Michigan or any state court in the state of
          Michigan, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
          jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been
          brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding
          is improper.

          (c) In the event the state court specified in Section 11.3(a) refuses
     to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the subject matter at
     issue, then with respect to any legal action or proceeding brought by any
     of the Buyer Parties against any of the Seller Parties arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, each party to this Agreement:

               (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
          jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

          District Court for the Central District of California (and each
          appellate court thereof) or any state court in the state of
          California;

               (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
          United States District Court for the Central District of California or
          any state court in the state of California shall be deemed to be a
          convenient forum; and

               (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or
          otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any federal
          court within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
          the Central District of California or any state court in the state of
          California, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the
          jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been
          brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of such proceeding
          is improper.

          (d) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

          11.4 Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the
other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting (unless the
requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 4), each
of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such
documents and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably
request in order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated
hereby.

          11.5 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any
party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the
documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power,
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          11.6 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not
be amended except by a written agreement executed by the parties to be charged
with the amendment.

          11.7 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior consent of the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

other parties, except that GFS Holding may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the
benefit of the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right,
remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
successors and assigns.

          11.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid
or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in
full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

          11.9 Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this
Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction
or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer to the
corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in this

     the manner set forth in Section 11.2 hereof (a "Dispute Notice"), to the
     other party or parties setting forth the nature of the dispute and the
     relief intended to be sought and shall submit such Agreement Dispute for

     in effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the parties have agreed, in
     writing, to resolve any such dispute by other means. Each party agrees that
     it will submit to and shall not challenge or object to the jurisdiction
     (either personal or subject matter) or the venue of such mediation in
     Chicago, Illinois.

               (b) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been
     resolved by mediation as provided above within sixty (60) days after
     submission thereof, then either party may commence a suit or legal action
     or an action at equity to enforce its rights or the other party's
     obligations or recover any damages arising from the other party's breach or
     such other relief as may be appropriate under the circumstances.

               (c) Attorney Fees and Other Costs. The prevailing party in any
     mediation or any action or legal or other proceeding brought with respect
     to an Agreement Dispute shall be entitled to recover the reasonable fees
     and disbursements of its attorneys, accountants, and expert witnesses in
     connection with any such mediation or any action or legal or other
     proceeding brought in accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (d) Exceptions for Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
     Agreement, a party may bring a proceeding against any other party hereto
     for specific performance or injunctive or other forms or equitable relief
     in the state or federal courts pursuant to the procedures set forth in
     Section 11.3 without having to submit the matter or Agreement Dispute in
     question to mediation as hereinabove set forth, provided, however, that
     such party shall not seek any monetary award or relief in such action or
     proceeding unless its failure to do so would prejudice such party's rights
     or ability to seek such monetary award or relief in another action or
     proceeding.

counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this

Agreements would not be contrary to a fundamental public policy of a
jurisdiction that has a materially greater interest than the State of Delaware
in the determination of a particular question at issue. As to any facts material
to the opinions set forth herein, which we have not independently established or
verified, we have relied solely upon the representations and warranties of the
officers of the Seller Parties, the representations and warranties of the Seller
Parties contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements,
and upon the Officer's Certificates from each of the Seller Parties, but without
any further independent investigation. In addition, we have obtained and relied
upon such certificates from public officials as we have deemed necessary. We
have assumed that such representations and warranties, and such certifications,
are true, correct and complete.

          As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" with
reference to matters of fact: (i) means that, after an examination of documents
made available to us by or on behalf of the Seller Parties and based on the
representations and warranties of the officers of the Seller Parties, the
representations and warranties of the Seller Parties contained in the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, and upon the Officer's
Certificates from each of the Seller Parties, but without any further
independent investigation, we find no reason to believe that the opinions set
forth herein are factually incorrect; and (ii) refers to the current actual
knowledge of the attorneys of this law firm who have worked on matters for the
Seller Parties in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements. Except
to the extent expressly set forth hereinabove, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and
no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should
be drawn from our representation of the Seller Parties or the rendering of the
opinions set forth herein.

          In addition to the foregoing, in rendering the opinions set forth
herein, we note that the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements
state that they are to be governed by Delaware law. We advise you that we are
not admitted to practice in that state, although we are familiar with the
corporate laws of that state.

          Based solely upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and
exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

     1. Smart & Final is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified to
transact business and is in corporate good standing under the laws of the State
of Florida, and has all corporate power required to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements.

     2. SF Stores is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is qualified to
transact business and is in corporate good standing under the laws of the State
of Florida, and has all corporate power required to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements.

     3. American Foodservice is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is
qualified to transact business and is in corporate good standing under the laws
of the State of Florida, and has all corporate power required to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
Related Agreements.

     4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller Parties of the
Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action, and do not violate or contravene the Certificate
of Incorporation or Articles of Incorporation, as applicable, or the Bylaws of
the Seller Parties. The Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have
been duly executed by and delivered on behalf of the Seller Parties.

     5. The Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements have been duly
executed and delivered and constitute the legally valid and binding obligation
of the Seller Parties and, other than the Noncompetition Agreement, are
enforceable against the Seller Parties in accordance with their terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, and except as provided further below in this letter.

     6. Except as disclosed in the Schedules to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller Parties of the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements: (i) requires no approval, filing
with, authorization, consent, adjudication or order of any governmental
authority which has not been obtained; (ii) does not violate any current law or
regulation of the States of California or Delaware, or the federal laws of the
United States of America binding on the Seller Parties, which a lawyer, using
customary professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as applicable to
the Seller Parties and the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the Related Agreements; (iii) to the best of our knowledge, does
not violate any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on
the Seller Parties; and (iv) subject to the exceptions set forth below, does not
violate or contravene or constitute a default under any material agreement
binding upon the Seller Parties.

          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional
exceptions assumptions and qualifications:

     1. We express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or
effect of:

          a. any principles of public policy which may limit enforceability of
     the Asset Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Agreements;

          b. the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
     transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws or
     judicially developed doctrine (such as substantive consolidation or
     equitable subordination) now or hereafter in effect relating to or
     affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally;

          c. the effect of procedural due process, general principles of equity
     including, without limitation, principles of commercial reasonableness,
     good faith and fair dealing, whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before
     which any proceeding therefor may be brought, including the court's failure
     or refusal to enforce provisions of agreements or documents if enforcement
     thereof is based upon defaults or breaches which are immaterial to the
     ultimate performance contemplated thereby or for other reasons deemed
     equitable by the court;

          d. the availability of the remedy of specific performance, or of any
     other equitable remedy or relief to enforce any right under any agreement
     or document; and

          e. the enforceability, in any particular circumstance, of any
     provision of the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements which
     provides for the severability of illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          For purposes of the opinions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, we have
relied exclusively upon a certificate issued by a governmental authority in each
relevant jurisdiction, and statements and representations of officers of the
Seller Parties. Such opinions are not intended to provide any conclusion or
assurance beyond that conveyed by such certificate. We have assumed without
investigation that there has been no relevant change or development between the
date of such certificate and the date of this letter.

          In addition, in rendering the opinions set forth above, we have
assumed that the transactions described in or contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement have been or will be consummated consistent with the descriptions of
such transactions as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Related
Agreements as provided to us, and in accordance with the operative documents
relating to such transactions.

          The opinions set forth above are based on the laws of the States of
California and Delaware only as they exist as of the date of this letter, and we
assume no obligation to modify, supplement or update this letter to reflect any
facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or on account
of changes in such laws or court decisions which may hereafter occur.
Furthermore, we advise you that we are not admitted to practice in the State of
Delaware. As to matters of Delaware law set forth in this letter, we advise you
that, with your permission, we have relied on the opinion of The Bayard Firm.

          This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and
we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other
matter relating to the Seller Parties or to any investment therein, or under any
other law.

          This opinion is solely for your benefit and, without our prior written
consent, shall not be quoted in whole or in part, summarized or otherwise
referred to, relied upon or filed with or supplied to any other person or
entity.

                                Very truly yours,

                                                               EXECUTION VERSION

                 AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE

          THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE (this "Agreement")
is made this        day of September 2003, between SMART & FINAL, INC., a
             ------
Delaware corporation, of 600 Citadel Drive, Commerce, California 90040 (the
"Seller") and GFS MARKETPLACE REALTY FOUR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, of 333 - 50th Street, S.W., Grand Rapids, Michigan 49508 (the "Buyer").

                                    RECITALS:

          A. Seller, Smart and Final Stores Corporation ("SF Stores"), and
American Foodservice Distributors have heretofore entered into that certain
Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 6, 2003 (the "APA") with GFS
Holding, Inc., GFS Orlando, LLC, and GFS Stores, LLC ("GFS Stores"), pursuant to
which, among other things, GFS Stores is acquiring certain assets used by SF
Stores in the retail store business heretofore operated by SF Stores in the
State of Florida, including, without limitation, the assets used at the store
located at the Subject Property (as defined in Section 1(b) below).

          B. Seller currently leases the Subject Property from Wells Fargo Bank
Northwest, National Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as
owner trustee under the S&F Trust 1998-1 (the "Owner Trustee") pursuant to that
certain Lease Agreement dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended and
supplemented to date, the "Synthetic Lease," and together with the Participation
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the Mortgage
Instruments (as each such term is defined in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement) relating to the Subject Property, referred to herein collectively as
the "Synthetic Lease Documents"). A copy of each of the Synthetic Lease
Documents, redacted to preserve the confidentiality of the financial terms of
the transaction contemplated thereby, has previously been provided by Seller to
Buyer.

          C. This Agreement is being entered into pursuant to and in
contemplation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the APA.

          D. Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from
Seller, the Subject Property, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth below.

          IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

                                       1

<PAGE>

          1. Property Included in Purchase and Sale Agreement.

          (a) Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from
Seller, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the real property, improvements,
fixtures and appurtenances located at 2573 N. Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, which property is more particularly described on attached Exhibit A
(the "Real Property"). The legal description for the Real Property shall be
subject to verification by Buyer prior to Closing (as defined in Section 13 of
this Agreement) based on the survey and title commitment to be provided by
Seller under this Agreement.

          (b) Also included in this sale at no additional cost to Buyer are the
items of equipment and other personal property associated with the Real Property
and leased to Seller pursuant to the Synthetic Lease (the "Personal Property").
For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge and agree
that the Hughes satellite system currently installed at the Real Property is not
leased to Seller pursuant to the Synthetic Lease and is not included within the
Personal Property to be conveyed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. The Real
Property and the Personal Property are collectively referred to in this
Agreement as the "Subject Property."

          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer mutually acknowledge
and agree that the Subject Property shall include all improvements located on
the Real Property, all fixtures affixed to such improvements (including, without
limitation, all shelving, racks and refrigeration units or equipment, but not
including the Hughes satellite system referenced above), all beneficial
easements, including, without limitation, easements relating to ingress and
egress, all rights, permits, licenses and appurtenances pertaining to the Real
Property, if any, and all of Seller's right, title and interest in all public
ways adjoining the same.

          2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Subject Property shall
be the sum of Three Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,100,000.00) (the
"Purchase Price").

          3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid by
Buyer at Closing in the form of cashier's check or bank money order or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds.

          4. Taxes and Assessment; Utilities and Rents.

          (a) Seller shall assume and pay all real estate and personal property
taxes ("Taxes") on the Subject Property which are billed or become due and
payable on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 13 of this
Agreement) and all outstanding special assessments, including any certified
municipal or county special assessments, which have been levied or assessed or
which are a lien against the Subject Property as of the Closing Date whether due
or not. All Taxes coming due and payable during the calendar year in which the
Closing occurs shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date
with the Seller being responsible for that portion of such Taxes allocable to
the period from January 1 of the year of Closing to the Closing Date

                                       2

<PAGE>

and the Buyer being responsible for the balance of such Taxes. If the precise
amount of such Taxes is not known as of the Closing Date, such Taxes shall be
estimated based upon the best available information. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a), Seller and Buyer expressly
acknowledge and agree that, as specified in Section 13, Buyer shall be solely
responsible for paying any and all documentary stamps/transfer taxes and
surtaxes which are payable upon the recording of the deed as to the conveyance
to Buyer only.

          (b) All bills for utility services to the Subject Property shall be
paid by Seller up to the Closing Date. Any prepaid rents and other amounts paid
under any written and oral leases covering all or any portion of the Subject
Property (the "Leases") shall be prorated to the Closing Date. All claims for
unpaid rent shall be assigned to Buyer without additional consideration.

          5. Conveyance of Title; Indemnity by Seller.

          (a) Fee simple title to the Subject Property shall be conveyed to
Buyer at Closing pursuant to a deed direct from the Owner Trustee, which deed,
Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees, may take the form of a quitclaim
deed so long as such quitclaim deed is satisfactory to the Title Company (as
defined in Section 6 below) for purposes of issuing the title insurance policy
referenced therein. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that, if such
quitclaim deed is not satisfactory to the Title Company for such purpose, then
Seller shall either cause the Owner Trustee to convey title to Buyer pursuant to
a Special Warranty Deed (as commonly known in Florida real estate transactions),
or shall procure and obtain such other instruments and documents as may
reasonably be required by the Title Company in order to issue the title
insurance policy referenced in Section 6 on the basis of the quitclaim deed from
the Owner Trustee.

          (b) Subject to and expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the
Closing, Seller hereby expressly represents and warrants to Buyer that title to
the Subject Property conveyed by the Owner Trustee pursuant to any quitclaim
deed delivered by the Owner Trustee to Buyer at the Closing will be free and
clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, easements,
restrictions and rights of third parties created by, through or under either
Seller or the Owner Trustee, other than Permitted Encumbrances (as defined
below), and Seller further undertakes and agrees to defend such title against
all persons claiming by, through or under either Seller or the Owner Trustee.
For purposes of this Section 5(b) and all other purposes of this Agreement,
"Permitted Encumbrances" shall mean and include any and all liens, encumbrances,
security interests, easements, restrictions and rights of third parties
whatsoever that would not materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional
use of the Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being
used, including without limitation, all such liens, encumbrances, security
interests, easements, restrictions and rights of third parties which are
specifically identified in this Agreement as constituting "Permitted
Encumbrances."

          (c) Seller represents and warrants that no work or materials have been
supplied to or incorporated into the Subject Property (other than routine
maintenance and

                                       3

<PAGE>

repairs made in the ordinary course of business) which could give rise to a lien
of any kind prior to the date of this Agreement, and that no such work or
materials will be supplied to or incorporated into the Subject Property prior to
surrender of possession to Buyer which have not been paid for in full or which
will not be paid in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt,
Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will pay in full all costs
associated with any work performed on or with respect to the Subject Property
prior to the Closing in the ordinary course of business (it being expressly
understood by both parties that such payments may be made after the Closing).
Seller shall provide the following affidavits to the Title Company that issues
the commitment referenced in Section 6:

               (i) Seller's Affidavit. An affidavit from Seller attesting that:
     (a) no individual, entity or governmental authority (except as to work
     performed at the direction of the Buyer) has any claim against the Subject
     Property under applicable construction lien laws; (b) no individual, entity
     or governmental authority is either in possession of the Subject Property
     or has a possessory interest or claim in the Subject Property; and (c) no
     improvements to the Subject Property have been made (except as to work
     performed at the direction of Buyer) for which payment has not been made,
     and (d) containing information necessary to enable the Title Company to
     delete exceptions to the title commitment for matters appearing during the
     so-called "gap" period and for parties in possession and boundary disputes.

               (ii) FIRPTA. A Non-Foreign Transferor Affidavit in accordance
     with Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
     "Code").

          6. Title Insurance. Seller shall furnish Buyer at Seller's expense an
ALTA owner's title insurance policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company
(the "Title Company") covering the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase
Price and insuring good and marketable title to the Real Property and all
beneficial easements, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Such policy
shall have the standard exceptions for gap period, the rights of parties in
possession, matters discoverable by survey, and taxes and assessments other than
for the year of the Closing and thereafter deleted. The commitment for such
policy shall be delivered to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable but in no
event later than ten (10) days after the execution of this Agreement. Seller
shall furnish Buyer with a "marked up" title insurance commitment conforming to
the standards specified in this Section 6 and Section 8 below at the Closing.

          7. Survey; Architectural and Engineering Drawings and Reports; Service
Contracts.

          (a) As soon as reasonably possible and in no event later than fifteen
(15) days after the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer,
at Seller's expense, with a survey of the Real Property showing the area,
dimensions and location of the Real Property to the nearest monuments, streets,
the location of all improvements and

                                       4

<PAGE>

encroachments, and the location of all recorded easements upon or appurtenant to
the Real Property, which survey shall be subject to Buyer's approval and shall:

               (i) prepared by a Florida licensed surveyor. The survey must meet
     or exceed the minimum standards established under Chapter 61G17 of the
     Florida Administrative Code and must be certified by the surveyor to Buyer,
     Seller and the Title Company;

               (ii) show the size, location and type of any and all buildings,
     structures and improvements on the Real Property;

               (iii) show that there are no rights-of-way over or encroachments
     by any buildings, structures or improvements located on adjacent property
     onto or uses affecting, the Real Property or easement areas on the Real
     Property; and

               (iv) confirm that the legal description of the Real Property as
     set forth in the title commitment is exactly the same as the legal
     description set forth in the survey.

          (b) Buyer's obligation to close this transaction is contingent upon
the Real Property being free from all encroachments and other survey defects
that would materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the
Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used. As soon
as reasonably practicable and in no event later than ten (10) days after the
execution of this Agreement, Seller shall also provide Buyer with copies of: (i)
all existing architectural and engineering drawings and reports concerning the
Real Property currently in Seller's possession or under Seller's control; and
(ii) all service contracts for all or any portion of the Subject Property, each
of which is listed in Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Contracts").

          8. Correction of Title or Survey Defects. If the title insurance
commitment or survey discloses any title or survey defects that would materially
and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the Subject Property for the
purposes for which it is currently being used, Buyer shall notify Seller of
Buyer's objections to the defects within ten (10) days following Buyer's receipt
of such title insurance commitment or survey, as the case may be, and Seller
shall be obligated, as of the Closing, to discharge or obtain title insurance
coverage over any such liens, encumbrances, or mortgages that may be discharged
by the payment of money. If Seller is unable to cure any title or survey defects
that would materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the
Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently being used, Buyer
may, at its sole option, elect to: (a) terminate its obligation to purchase the
Subject Property and have no further obligation or liability under this
Agreement; or (b) waive any and all such defects and proceed to close this
transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge
and agree that (i) any title or survey defects that would not materially and
significantly impair Buyer's functional use of the Subject Property for the
purposes for which it is currently being used shall be deemed "Permitted
Encumbrances" for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) Seller shall have no
obligation whatsoever to cure any such Permitted Encumbrances (except that
Seller

                                       5

<PAGE>

hereby agrees to cure such Permitted Encumbrances, if any, which may be cured at
no cost whatsoever to Seller), and (iii) Buyer shall be obligated to purchase
the Subject Property and consummate the Closing notwithstanding the occurrence
or existence of any such Permitted Encumbrances.

          9. Physical Inspection of Subject Property; Environmental Assessment.

          (a) For a period of twenty (20) days after the execution of the APA
(the "Inspection Period"), Buyer shall have the right to further inspect the
Subject Property, to determine its physical characteristics and suitability for
its use by Buyer. For this purpose, such inspections, investigations,
appraisals, tests and determinations of the Subject Property during the
Inspection Period shall include, but shall not be limited to, inquiring as to
the existence of utility services, public services and access; review of any
Leases relating to the Subject Property; review of the blueprints and "as built"
for the improvements on the Subject Property; insuring compliance as to
applicable zoning ordinances, use regulations and business codes; conducting
soil tests of the Real Property, borings and other engineering and architectural
tests; the environmental conditions which exist at the Real Property (including,
if desired by Buyer, a Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment and a
baseline environmental assessment) and the Real Property's compliance with all
applicable state and federal environmental laws and regulations; and determining
the availability of any governmental approvals or permits. Buyer's obligation to
close this transaction is contingent upon Buyer's satisfaction with its
inspection findings.

          (b) Buyer shall provide reasonable prior notice to Seller of any
proposed inspection or testing by Buyer or any Representative (as defined in the
APA) of Buyer pursuant to this Section 9 and shall schedule such inspection or
testing so as to not disrupt the normal business operations of Seller at the
Real Property. Seller and its agents and employees shall fully cooperate with
Buyer and shall provide Buyer with such information and records as Buyer may
reasonably request concerning the Real Property. Costs and expenses incurred in
connection with Buyer's inspection and testing of the Real Property shall be
paid by Buyer. Upon completion of its inspections, Buyer shall repair and
restore any damage to the Subject Property caused by such inspections and
testing.

          (c) Buyer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and hold Seller
harmless for any and all Losses (as defined in Section 17(a) below) arising out
of any damage to property or any personal injury or death suffered by any person
(including, but not limited to, Buyer or any Representative (as defined in the
APA) of Buyer) resulting from or arising out of the negligence of Buyer or any
Representative of Buyer in connection with any of the activities contemplated by
this Section 9.

          10. Representations and Warranties of Seller. In addition to any other
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, Seller makes the
following representations and warranties, each of which is expressly qualified
by and subject to any and all disclosures made by Seller pursuant to the APA,
and each of which,

                                       6

          (f) Subject to the prior receipt of all consents required pursuant to

affect the value, occupancy, or use of the Subject Property. Seller will give
Buyer prompt written notice of any such action, suit or proceeding of which it
obtains Knowledge subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the
Closing, to the extent Seller acquires such Knowledge.

          (h) Except as provided in Section 15 below, Seller shall not make or

good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and the Subject
Property is served by electricity, gas, city water and sewer service sufficient
to operate the Subject Property as of the Closing in the same manner as
presently operated.

          (l) Seller is not a "foreign person" as that term is defined in

          (b) No Litigation. There shall be no actions, proceedings or

Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the other agreements described in
Section 11(g) and the documents referenced therein.

          As Buyer shall determine that each of the conditions set forth above

<PAGE>

          12. Seller's Conditions Precedent. Seller shall not be obligated to
close the transaction contemplated hereunder unless the conditions precedent
specified in Section 11(g) and 11(i) above shall each have been satisfied prior
to the Closing

          13. Closing and Possession; Transfer of Property. The closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall occur within
three (3) days after all of the conditions precedent specified in Section 11
above (other than such conditions which are to occur simultaneously with the
Closing hereunder) have been satisfied or waived and Buyer gives Seller notice
of its intent to close; provided, however, that the Closing shall not occur
later than the earlier of September 7, 2003 or such later date (but no later
than October 5, 2003) as the date on which the closing of the transactions
described in Section 11(g) occurs. The date of Closing is referred to in this
Agreement as the "Closing Date". The Closing shall occur at the time and place
specified in the APA for the closing of the transaction contemplated by the APA
or at such other place as the parties shall mutually agree. Seller shall
surrender possession of the Subject Property to Buyer at Closing. However, prior
to Closing, Buyer and its agents, employees, contractors and consultants shall
have reasonable access to the Subject Property for purposes of the inspections
permitted under Section 9 above.

          At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer each of the following:

          (a) A deed (which, subject to the terms and conditions specified in
Section 5(a) above, may be a quitclaim deed) duly executed and in recordable
form, conveying the Real Property to Buyer.

          (b) A bill of sale (which may be a quitclaim bill of sale from the
Owner Trustee, but which shall include Seller's warranty as to title consistent
with the provisions of Section 5(b) above) duly executed conveying the Personal
Property to Buyer.

          (c) An assignment, in a form satisfactory to Buyer, assigning to Buyer
all rights and obligations Seller may have under any assignable Contracts that
Buyer desires to assume. All Contracts not assumed by Buyer shall be terminated
by Seller as of the Closing Date.

          (d) All books, records and other financial information concerning the
Subject Property which are in Seller's possession or under Seller's control (the
"Books and Records").

          In addition, the parties shall execute and deliver to each other at
Closing a closing statement showing the computation of the funds payable to the
Seller pursuant to this Agreement, all of which funds each of Seller and Buyer
expressly acknowledges and agrees shall be released directly to the Owner
Trustee at the Closing. Buyer shall pay all of the documentary stamps/transfer
taxes and surtaxes which are payable upon the recording of the deed as to the
conveyance to Buyer only.

          14. Synthetic Lease. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall procure or

the

                                       10

<PAGE>

Synthetic Lease with respect to the Subject Property and to release the Subject
Property from all liens and encumbrances created pursuant to the Synthetic Lease
Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents. Any such instruments of
termination or release, as the case may be, with respect to the Real Property
shall be in such form as the Title Company may reasonably require to be
recordable in the real property records of the county in which the Real Property
is located.

          15. Condition of Subject Property.

          (a) In the event the Subject Property should be damaged by fire or
other casualty or become subject to condemnation proceedings prior to the
Closing, Buyer shall nonetheless proceed to close this transaction, and Seller
shall, subject to the immediately following sentence, assign to Buyer, effective
as of the Closing, all of Seller's rights to any insurance or condemnation
proceeds and to cause the Owner Trustee and the Agent (as defined in the
Synthetic Lease Documents) to assign to Buyer all of their respective rights, if
any, to any such insurance or condemnation proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt,
Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any such
casualty or condemnation, (i) Seller shall use any insurance or condemnation
proceeds actually received by Seller (to the extent that Seller is not required
by the terms of the Synthetic Lease to turn over such proceeds to the Owner
Trustee or to the Agent) to repair (or commence repair) of damage to the Subject
Property caused by such casualty or condemnation, and (ii) Seller shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to Buyer at the Closing the remaining, unused balance,
if any, of such proceeds (including that portion, if any, of such proceeds paid
to the Owner Trustee or to the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Synthetic
Lease Documents).

          (b) Each of Seller and Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 15(a) above,
in the event that all of the following conditions shall occur:

               (i) any casualty damage to or condemnation of the Subject
     Property occurs prior to the Closing;

               (ii) any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are actually
     paid to the Owner Trustee or the Agent pursuant to the Synthetic Lease
     Documents prior to the Closing (all such proceeds being referred to herein
     collectively as the "Actual Proceeds");

               (iii) Buyer has provided written notice of the satisfaction of
     all conditions precedent specified in Section 11 (other than those which
     are to occur simultaneously with the Closing) and Buyer has deposited, in
     escrow with instructions for release upon the Closing, the full amount of
     the Purchase Price in the form of a cashier's check or wired funds to the
     Title Company or such other person as Buyer and Seller may agree in writing
     to act as escrow agent for purposes of effecting the closing of the
     transaction contemplated by this Agreement (in either case, the "Escrow
     Agent"); and

                                       11

<PAGE>

               (iv) either the Owner Trustee or the Agent, or both of them,
     shall fail to either (x) deposit with the Escrow Agent the full amount of
     the Actual Proceeds received by the Owner Trustee or the Agent, as the case
     may be, together with written instructions to release the same to Buyer
     upon the Closing, or else (y) issue written instructions to the Escrow
     Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to credit the full amount of the Actual
     Proceeds against the Purchase Price, to disburse to the Owner Trustee or
     the Agent, as the case may be, at Closing only the net amount of the
     Purchase Price after giving effect to such credit (and to release any and
     all instruments deposited into escrow by the Owner Trustee and/or the Agent
     against the disbursement of such amount to the Owner Trustee or the Agent,
     as the case may be), and to disburse to Buyer the portion of the funds
     deposited by Buyer equal to the amount of the Actual Proceeds at Closing;

then Buyer shall have the right, by written notice to Seller and to the Escrow
Agent, to cancel the proposed purchase of the Subject Property and terminate
this Agreement, and upon such termination, neither party shall have any further
liability to the other hereunder or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          16. Insurance; Risk of Loss. Until the Closing, Seller shall maintain
in full force and effect all fire and public liability insurance covering the
Subject Property maintained by Seller in the ordinary course of business, and
such insurance with respect to casualty damage shall be for the replacement
value of the Subject Property. The risk of loss shall remain with Seller until
Closing, subject to Buyer's rights under Section 15, above.

          17. Seller's Indemnities.

          (a) Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses (including diminution in value), damages,
claims, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable actual attorney's fees
(collectively, "Losses") to the extent, if any, such Losses are incurred as the
result of any of the following: (i) the failure of any of the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement to be true and accurate in all
respects (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Losses
arising out of or in connection with exceptions to such representations and
warranties expressly disclosed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the APA);
(ii) the failure of Seller to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement; (iii) any act or event occurring on or in connection with the Subject
Property prior to the date of Closing or otherwise attributable (but solely to
the extent so attributable) to the use or operation of the Subject Property
prior to Closing, including, but not limited to, liabilities for environmental
contamination caused by the release of Hazardous Substances in, on or under the
Subject Property prior to Closing; or (iv) the failure of Seller to pay any of
its debts, charges, taxes, liabilities or other obligations, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent, known or unknown as of the date of Closing. The terms of
this Section 17 shall survive for two years following the Closing (except that,
with respect to any matters relating to the representations set forth in
subsections (a), (b) and (c) (to the extent specified in the introductory
paragraph of Section 10) of Section 10 above and any matters relating to
environmental contamination covered by subclause (iii) above, the

                                       12

<PAGE>

provisions of this Section 17 shall survive for one month after the maximum
period permitted by law.

          (b) Seller's liability under the indemnity set forth above shall be
subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 10
of the APA, including, without limitation, the application of the Seller
Deductible (as defined in Section 10.1 thereof). In addition, and without
limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer expressly
acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no liability to indemnify Buyer
for any Losses under Section 17(a) above to the extent such Losses arise from or
are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Buyer
Party (as defined in the APA), or (ii) any act or event occurring on or in
connection with the Subject Property following the Closing.

          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge
and agree that, Sections 17(a)(iii) and 17(b)(ii) above shall be read together
so that, in the event that Buyer incurs any Losses in connection with or as a
result of any release of Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Subject
Property following the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Buyer solely for the
incremental increase, if any, in such Losses incurred by Buyer that is
attributable to any prior record of the release of Hazardous Substances in, on
or under the Subject Property prior to Closing.

          18. Seller's Default. In the event of any material default by Seller
under this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall consist of any
default or defaults, which, if uncured, individually or in the aggregate, would
materially and significantly impair Buyer's functional use and/or ownership of
the Subject Property for the purposes for which it is currently used), Buyer
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller if
such material default is not cured within thirty (30) days following Seller's
receipt of written notice of such material default from Seller. In addition,
Buyer shall have all such rights and remedies as may be available to it under
applicable law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to recover
such damages as it may be entitled to as a result of such material default by
Seller (including costs and attorney's fees), or to specifically enforce
Seller's obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement in the event of any default by Seller that is not material, but may
still pursue damage remedies, if any, for such a default.

          19. Buyer's Default. In the event of any material default by Buyer
under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Buyer if such material default is not cured within thirty (30)
days following Buyer's receipt of written notice of such material default from
Seller. In addition, Seller shall have all such rights and remedies as may be
available to it under applicable law or in equity, including, but not limited
to, the right to recover such damages as it may be entitled to as a result of
such material default by Buyer (including costs and attorney's fees). For the
avoidance of doubt, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not have
the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of any default by Buyer that
is not material, but may still pursue damage remedies, if any, for such a
default.

Section 10 above shall survive for one month after the maximum period permitted
by law.

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon, and be specifically

          accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health
          risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that
          exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in
          Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may
          be obtained from your county public health unit.

          28. Dispute Resolution. All Agreement Disputes (as defined in the APA)

                     VENDOR CONTRACT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

          THIS VENDOR CONTRACT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into and effective as of September 7, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), by
and between SMART & FINAL INC., a Delaware corporation ("SFI"), AMERICAN
FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTORS, a California corporation ("AFD"), SMART & FINAL STORES
CORPORATION, a California corporation ("SF Stores" and, together with SFI and
AFD, collectively, the "Sellers"), and GFS HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation
("GFS Holding"), HENRY LEE COMPANY, a Florida corporation ("Henry Lee"), GFS
STORES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS Stores"), and GFS
Orlando, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GFS Orlando" and, together
with GFS Holding, Henry Lee and GFS Stores, collectively, the "Buyers").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share
Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and between SFI, AFD and GFS
Holding, GFS Holding will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of Henry Lee; and pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated August 6, 2003, by and among GFS
Holding, GFS Orlando and GFS Stores, and Sellers, GFS Stores and GFS Orlando
will, directly or indirectly, acquire from Sellers certain of the assets of SF
Stores and all of the assets of the Orlando Foodservice division of AFD
(collectively, the "Assets").

          B. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyers will continue
to operate the businesses conducted by AFD, SF Stores and Henry Lee in the State
of Florida (the "Business").

          C. Sellers are parties to various vendor contracts (the "Vendor
Contracts") described in the Schedules to the Share Purchase Agreement and the
Asset Purchase Agreement and to be assigned to or utilized by Buyers after the
Closing. Many of the Vendor Contracts are multiple party contracts ("Multiple
Party Vendor Contracts") which contain provisions unrelated to the Business, and
therefore Sellers have provided Buyers with summaries of the portions of the
Multiple Party Vendor Contracts which relate to the Business instead of
disclosing the entire contract. Buyers have requested, and Sellers have agreed,
to cooperate with Buyers in the use and operation of the Vendor Contracts,
including the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts, on the terms set forth below.

          D. Buyers have required as a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset
Purchase Agreement that Sellers enter into this Agreement.

valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Sellers and Buyers agree as follows:

          1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Closing of
the Share Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and shall continue
until expiration of the last of the Vendor Contracts to expire. Buyers expressly
acknowledge that Sellers are under no obligation to renew or extend any of the
Vendor Contracts beyond their stated terms.

          2. Cooperation. From time to time after the Closing Date, Sellers
shall cooperate with Buyers in arranging for purchases within the State of
Florida pursuant to the Vendor Contracts. Sellers also shall permit Buyers to
contact the vendors under each of the Vendor Contracts so that Buyers may
establish new relationships with those vendors if Buyers so desire. Sellers also
shall provide Buyers with all correspondence, information and invoices related
to performance of the Vendor Contracts in the State of Florida to enable Buyers
to deal with such vendors on an effective basis.

          3. Contract Performance. Buyers may elect to purchase products under
the Vendor Contracts, and if and to the extent that Buyers elect to do so,
Sellers and Buyers each agree to honor the terms of all of the Vendor Contracts,
and to conduct their respective purchases under the Multiple Party Vendor
Contracts in such a manner as to not disrupt the purchasing rights and
obligations of the other parties to the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts. In
particular, Sellers and Buyers each agree to honor any payment terms of the
Vendor Contracts (subject to good faith disputes with such vendors).

          4. Indemnification.

          A. Indemnity by Sellers. Sellers shall, jointly and severally,
     indemnify Buyers and their affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
     controlling persons, agents and representatives and their successors and
     assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") against and hold
     each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, cost, penalty,
     liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
     fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding)
     ("Damages") incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties (whether
     originally asserted against or imposed on the Buyer Indemnified Parties by
     a third party or originally incurred or suffered directly by the Buyer
     Indemnified Parties) arising directly out of any breach of any
     representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed
     by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, or arising directly out of any
     liability or obligations under the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts to the
     extent such liability or obligations have not been disclosed to Buyers in
     the summaries of the Multiple Party Vendor Contracts (such breach, a
     "Seller Breach").

          B. Indemnity by Buyers. Buyers shall indemnify Sellers and their
     affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents and
     representatives and their

                                       2

<PAGE>

     successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties")
     against and hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or
     suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (whether originally asserted
     against or imposed on the Seller Indemnified Parties by a third party or
     originally incurred or suffered directly by the Seller Indemnified Parties)
     arising directly out of any breach of any representation, warranty,
     covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyers pursuant to this
     Agreement (such breach, a "Buyer Breach").

          C. Procedure and Payment.

               (1) The person seeking indemnification under Section 4.A, and 4.B
          (the "Indemnified Party") agrees to give prompt notice to the Person
          against whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the
          assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or
          proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such
          Section and will provide the Indemnifying Party such information with
          respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The
          failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
          Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
          such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
          Indemnifying Party.

               (2) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any claim
          asserted by any third party ("Third Party Claim") with counsel of its
          choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i)
          the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
          within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice
          of the Third Party Claim that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party
          from and against all Damages that the Indemnified Party may suffer
          resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the Third
          Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified
          Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party
          that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to
          defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification
          obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves
          only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable
          relief, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the
          Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

               (3) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
          of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this
          Section 4.C, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in
          the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel
          of its choice for such purpose. The fees and expenses of such separate
          counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

               (4) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to
          cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and
          shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and
          testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
          hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested by any
          other party in connection therewith.

                                        3

<PAGE>

          D. Calculation of Damages.

               (1) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 4.A and 4.B
          by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the
          Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies and the
          Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect
          any amounts available under such insurance policies.

               (2) If the Indemnified Party receives an amount under insurance
          coverage or from a third party with respect to Damages at any time
          subsequent to any indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party
          pursuant to Section 4.A and 4.B, then such Indemnified Party shall
          promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or
          expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with
          providing such indemnification up to such amount received by such
          Indemnified Party, but net of any expenses incurred by such
          Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

          5. Force Majeure. Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall be responsible to
the other for any delay in or failure of performance of their obligations under
this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause
beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God,
fire, accident, strike or other labor difficulties, war, embargo or other
governmental act, or riot; provided that the party affected thereby gives the
other party prompt notice of the occurrence of any event which has caused or is
likely to cause any such delay or failure, setting forth its best estimate of
the length of any delay and any possibility that it will be unable to resume
performance; and provided further that said affected party shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that
event and resume performance or utilization.

          6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          A. Confidentiality. Each of Sellers and Buyers (as appropriate, the
     "Promisor") covenant and agree to and will cause their respective
     authorized agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers,
     directors, accountants, counsel and other designated representatives
     (collectively, "Representatives") to (i) treat and hold as confidential
     (and not disclose or provide access to any person to) all records, books,
     contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information
     (collectively, "Information") concerning the other party (the "Promisee")
     and the Vendor Contracts in the Promisor's possession or furnished by the
     Promisee or its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the
     event that Promisor or its Representatives become legally compelled to
     disclose any such Information, provide the Promisee with prompt written
     notice of such requirement so that the Promisee may seek a protective order
     or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 6.A, and (iii) in the
     event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the
     Promisee waives compliance with this Section 6.A, furnish only that portion
     of such Information which is legally required to be provided and exercise
     Promisor's best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment
     will be accorded such Information; provided, however, that this sentence
     shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of disclosure, is
     available publicly and was not disclosed in

                                       4

<PAGE>

     breach of this Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided
     further, however, that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall
     not preclude a party from disclosing Information to its Representatives
     (provided that each such Representative shall be advised of the
     confidential nature of such Information) or from disclosing Information to
     or filing Information with any governmental authority or agency with
     jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and acknowledges that
     remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 6.A
     are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall be
     entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific
     performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of
     demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this
     Section 6.A shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required
     to be disclosed by applicable law.

          B. Notices. All necessary notices, demands, requests and other
     communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall in every
     case be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) when delivered
     personally, (b) upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if sent by registered
     or certified mail, in all such cases with postage prepaid, return receipt
     requested, or (c) the next business day if delivered by a recognized
     overnight courier service, airbill prepaid, designated for next business
     day delivery, to the parties at the addresses as set forth below or at such

          C. Jurisdiction.

               (1) In the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any
          of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the
          parties hereto consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction
          of any federal court in the state of Delaware and, in case such court
          refuses jurisdiction then each of the parties consents to submit
          itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state court in the state of
          Delaware. Each of the parties further agrees that it will not attempt
          to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
          request for leave from such court, and agrees that, except as
          permitted pursuant to this Section 6.C, it will not bring any action
          relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by
          this Agreement in any other court other than a federal court in the
          state of Delaware.

               (2) In the event the state court specified in Section 6.C(1)
          refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the
          subject matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or
          proceeding brought by any of the Seller Parties against any of the
          Buyer Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
          the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party to this
          Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
               jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
               United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan
               (and each appellate court thereof) or any state court in the
               state of Michigan;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
               of the United States District Court for the Western District of
               Michigan or any state court in the state of Michigan shall be
               deemed to be a convenient forum; and

                                       6

<PAGE>

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
               or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
               federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States
               District Court for the Western District of Michigan or any state
               court in the state of Michigan, any claim that such party is not
               subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such
               legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or
               that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (3) In the event the state court specified in Section 6.C(1)
          refuses to exercise jurisdiction over the parties hereto or the
          subject matter at issue, then with respect to any legal action or
          proceeding brought by any of the Buyer Parties against any of the
          Sellers arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
          transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party to this
          Agreement:

                    (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the
               jurisdiction of any federal court within the jurisdiction of the
               United States District Court for the Central District of
               California (and each appellate court thereof) or any state court
               in the state of California;

                    (ii) agrees that any federal court within the jurisdiction
               of the United States District Court for the Central District of
               California or any state court in the state of California shall be
               deemed to be a convenient forum; and

                    (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense
               or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any
               federal court within the jurisdiction of the United States
               District Court for the Central District of California or any
               state court in the state of California, any claim that such party
               is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that
               such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum,
               or that the venue of such proceeding is improper.

               (4) The parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

          D. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of the other
     party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting (unless the
     requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 4),
     each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting
     party such documents and take such other action as such requesting party
     may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the
     transactions contemplated hereby.

          E. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement
     are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by
     any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
     or the documents referred

                                       7

<PAGE>

     to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or
     privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
     privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
     or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To
     the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right
     arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this
     Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver
     or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other
     party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except
     in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or
     demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such
     party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take
     further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or
     the documents referred to in this Agreement.

          F. Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
     prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
     constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the
     agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This
     Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the
     parties to be charged with the amendment.

          G. Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party
     may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
     the prior consent of the other parties, except that GFS Holding may assign
     any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of GFS Holding.
     Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding
     in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the benefit of the
     successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or
     referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other
     than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or
     claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
     Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for
     the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
     successors and assigns.

          H. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
     unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions
     of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
     this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
     remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
     unenforceable.

     Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its

          M. Dispute Resolution. Except as hereinafter provided in this Section
     6.M all claims, controversies, differences, or disputes between or among
     any of the parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement,
     including claims by one party that another party or parties hereto have
     failed to perform any of their obligations hereunder (collectively,
     "Agreement Disputes"), shall be resolved as follows:

               (1) Facilitative Mediation. The parties to an Agreement Dispute
          shall first attempt to resolve such Agreement Dispute by means of a
          mediation conducted in the following manner. A party desiring
          mediation of any Agreement Dispute shall give or shall have given a
          written notice, in the manner set forth in Section 6.B hereof (a
          "Dispute Notice"), to the other party or parties setting forth the
          nature of the dispute and the relief intended to be sought and shall
          submit such Agreement Dispute for resolution by facilitative mediation
          in Chicago, Illinois, under the Commercial Mediation Rules (but not
          otherwise under the auspices) of the American Arbitration Association
          (the "AAA") in effect on the date of this Agreement, unless the
          parties have agreed, in writing, to resolve any such dispute by other
          means. Each party agrees that it will submit to and shall not
          challenge or object to the jurisdiction (either personal or subject
          matter) or the venue of such mediation in Chicago, Illinois.

               (2) Legal Proceedings. If any Agreement Dispute has not been

          Agreement Dispute in question to mediation as hereinabove set forth,
          provided, however, that such party shall not seek any monetary award
          or relief in such action or proceeding unless its failure to do so
          would prejudice such party's rights or ability to seek such monetary
          award or relief in another action or proceeding.

          N. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
     counterparts, each or which will be deemed to be an original copy of this

     the other party, whether now existing or hereafter created.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Buyers have executed this Agreement as
of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.
