(iii) Richfood shall pay all SEC and state "Blue Sky"
filing fees, all fees and expenses of Richfood's counsel and
accountants and all printing and mailing fees (collectively,
"Registration Expenses") associated with the first registration
and offering of shares for the benefit of members of the Super

Registration Expenses shall not include underwriting fees,
commissions or expenses, the fees and expenses of counsel for the
underwriters or the fees and expenses of any counsel or
accountants retained by any member of the Super Rite Group in

expenses associated with such registrations and offerings;
(iv) Richfood shall not be obligated to provide more than a
total of two registrations pursuant to Section 6.14(a) and
Section 6.14(c) hereof; provided, that in the event any shares
are excluded in an initial registration pursuant to Section
6.14(c) or in the event such registration is withdrawn or
abandoned by Richfood, the Super Rite Group shareholders shall
have additional registration rights pursuant to such subsection
until such time as the shares originally proposed to be
registered thereunder have been registered pursuant to this
Section; and provided, further, that the Selling Shareholders
will be entitled to withdraw any request for registration
pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 6.14(c) hereof prior to
the sale of shares pursuant thereto, and such withdrawn request
shall not be considered one of the two registrations to which the
Super Rite Group shareholders are entitled, if such shareholders
reimburse Richfood promptly upon request for its actual out-of-
pocket expenses in connection with such withdrawn registration.
