• Exercise of Option and Provisions for Termination (a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the right of cumulation provided herein, this option may be exercised, prior to the tenth anniversary date, as to not more than the following number of shares covered by this option during the respective periods set forth below: No shares from and after the date of grant and prior to the first anniversary date; shares from and after the first anniversary date and prior to the second anniversary date; shares from and after the second anniversary date and prior to the third anniversary date; shares from and after the third anniversary date and prior to the fourth anniversary date; shares from and after the fourth anniversary date and prior to the fifth anniversary date; and shares from and after the fifth anniversary date. The right of exercise provided herein shall be cumulative so that if the option is not exercised to the maximum extent permissible during any such period it shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any subsequent period prior until the expiration or termination of this option. This option may not be exercised at any time after the tenth anniversary date. (b) Subject to the conditions hereof, this option shall be exercisable by the Employee giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefor and accompanied by payment in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Treasurer of the Company of the written notice together with the required payment. The Employee shall be entitled to purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option shall be for less than 10 whole shares. (c) If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, including retirement but other than death, this option shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that any portion of this option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of the Employee’s employment may be exercised within the three-month period following the date on which the Employee ceased to be so employed, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. Any such exercise may be made only to the extent of the number of shares subject to this option which are purchasable upon the date of such termination of employment. If the Employee dies during such three-month period, this option shall be exercisable by the Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees to the same extent and during the same period that the Employee could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. (d) If the Employee dies while an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, this option shall be exercisable, by the Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, to the same extent that the Employee could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. This option or any unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless so exercised prior to the earlier of the expiration of six months from the date of such death or the tenth anniversary date. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this option may not be exercised to the extent such an exercise would violate Section 422(d)(1) of the Code, which provides that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the Employee during any calendar year (under all of the plans of the Company, its parent, if any, or its subsidiaries, if any) shall not exceed $100,000.

• Grounds for Termination This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date: (a) by mutual written agreement of Albertson’s and Buyer; (b) by either Albertson’s or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before September 22, 2006 (the “Termination Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(b) shall not be available to the party seeking to terminate if any action of such party or the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the Closing has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date and such action or failure to perform constitutes a breach of this Agreement; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(b) shall not be available to Albertson’s if neither Albertson’s nor SUPERVALU shall have exercised its termination right under Section 8.1(c) of the Merger Agreement; (c) by either Albertson’s or Buyer if there shall be any Law, regulation or nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction that would make the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited; (d) by Albertson’s if there shall have been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 10.03(a) would not be satisfied and which shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) 20 Business Days following notice of such breach and (ii) the Termination Date; (e) by Buyer if there shall have been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller contained in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 10.02(a) would not be satisfied and which shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) 20 Business Days following notice of such breach and (ii) the Termination Date; or (f) by Albertson’s or Buyer if the Merger Agreement is terminated. The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses 12.01(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

• Reasons for Termination Executive’s employment hereunder may or will be terminated during the Employment Period under the following circumstances:

• Procedure for Termination The party designated in Section 4.03 of the Trust Agreement shall advise the Securities Administrator in writing of its election to cause a Terminating Purchase, no later than the Distribution Date in the month preceding the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase will occur. Notice of the Distribution Date on which any such termination shall occur (or the Distribution Date on which final payment or other Liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last REO Property remaining in the Trust will be distributed to Certificateholders, as reflected in the Remittance Report for such month (the “Final Distribution Date”) shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding such final distribution and not later than the 5th day of the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Servicing Remittance Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Final Distribution Date and that final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated on that date, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Final Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, the purchaser shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the Final Distribution Date an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price, as the case may be. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates on a Distribution Date by Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to Certificateholders (A) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with Terminating Purchase, or (B) if in connection with a Terminating Purchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Certificate with an outstanding Certificate Balance, the outstanding Certificate Balance thereof, plus interest thereon through the Accounting Date preceding the Distribution Date fixed for termination and any previously unpaid interest, net of unrealized losses, Realized Interest Shortfall and Shortfall with respect thereto; and in addition, with respect to each Residual Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference between the Termination Price and the aggregate amount to be distributed as provided in the first clause of this sentence and the next succeeding sentence. Upon the deposit of the Termination Price in the Certificate Account, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, and any Custodian acting as its agent, shall promptly release to the purchaser the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments without recourse necessary to effectuate such transfer. The Trust shall terminate immediately following the deposit of funds in the Termination Account as provided below. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates within six months after the Final Distribution Date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed on the Final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section. The Securities Administrator shall establish the Termination Accounts, which shall be Eligible Accounts, on or about the Closing Date.

• PROVISIONS SURVIVING EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION Notwithstanding the expiration or termination (by agreement, breach, or operation of time) of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement regarding payments (including liquidated damages and tax payments), reports, records, and dispute resolution of the Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration dates of this Agreement until the following occurs: A. all payments, including liquidated damage and tax payments, have been made; B. all reports have been submitted; C. all records have been maintained in accordance with Section 8.6.A; and D. all disputes in controversy have been resolved.

• Change in Control Provisions Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, the following provisions shall apply to all Stock Units granted under the attached Award Agreement.

• Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination (a) The Company’s obligation to compensate Executive ceases on the Termination Date except as to: (i) any unpaid Base Salary earned by Executive as of that time; (ii) any unpaid amount actually earned and due to Executive pursuant to the MIP; (iii) any business expenses for which Executive is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement; and (iv) any compensation and/or benefits to which Executive may be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6. (b) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive the payments referenced above in Subsections 6(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) (collectively, the “Accrued Payments”). In addition, subject to Executive’s compliance with Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement and subject to the requirements of Section 6(e) below: (i) the Company will pay Executive an amount equal to his/her Base Salary as of the Termination Date for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, payable through the Company’s regular payroll procedures (the “Severance Pay”) commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (with the first payment including a catch-up payment for any Base Salary that would have otherwise been paid as Severance Pay during such sixty (60) day period); and (ii) if Executive timely elects continued health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, reimburse Executive for the entire amount of any premiums paid by Executive prior to such date necessary to continue such COBRA coverage for Executive and Executive’s covered spouse and eligible dependents and thereafter the Company shall pay the entire premium necessary to continue such coverage, in each case, until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date, or (B) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage under another employer’s plan, notice of which Executive shall promptly provide the Company. (c) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or if the Executive terminates his/her employment without Good Reason, or if Executive’s employment ends due to his/her death, then the Company’s sole obligation shall be to pay Executive (or his/her estate) only the Accrued Payments. (d) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment due to Disability or upon Executive’s death, the Company shall pay Executive or his/her estate, in addition to any short term or long term disability benefits that he/she may have received and/or be entitled to receive, the Accrued Payments. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive payment of the Target Bonus as set forth in Section 3(b) above, subject to the terms of the MIP and to the extent actually earned for the fiscal year in which such termination takes place, prorated based on the number of days in such fiscal year that Executive was employed prior to the Termination Date, to be paid in accordance with the timing set forth in Section 3(b) (or if later, the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date). (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligation to make any payments or to provide any benefits under Sections 6(b) or Section 6(d) above is subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s execution of an enforceable release and waiver of claims agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company (the “Release Agreement”) and his/her compliance with the covenants in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement. If Executive chooses not to timely execute such Release Agreement, revokes the Release Agreement, or fails to comply with the covenants in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement, then the Company’s obligation to compensate him/her ceases on the effective Termination Date except as to the Accrued Payments. The Release Agreement shall be provided to Executive within seven (7) days of the Termination Date and Executive must execute it within the twenty-one (21) or forty-five (45) day time period specified in the Release Agreement. The Release Agreement and any payments due following its execution by Executive shall not be effective until any applicable revocation period has expired. (f) Executive is not entitled to receive any compensation or benefits upon his/her termination except as: (i) set forth in this Agreement, (ii) otherwise required by applicable law, or (iii) otherwise specifically required by any employee benefit plan of the Company in which he/she participates. Moreover, the terms and conditions provided to Executive under this Agreement are in lieu of any severance benefits to which he/she otherwise might be entitled pursuant to any severance plan, policy and practice of the Company and or any of its affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement however, is intended to waive or supplant any accrued death, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, retirement 401 (k) or pension benefits of the Company to which he/she may be entitled under employee benefit plans of the Company in which he/she participates. (g) If, within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, as defined below, Executive is terminated without Cause or he/she resigns for Good Reason, but in either case subject to the provisions of Section 6(e) above, Executive shall, in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(b), be entitled to a lump sum payment, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, equal to the greater of: (A) fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s then Base Salary, or (B) his/her Target Bonus under the MIP. A “Change in Control,” as defined herein solely for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean: (i) any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving the Company, in which, immediately after giving effect to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of outstanding stock of the surviving or resulting entity is then “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1943, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger consolidation or reorganization; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or entity (other than to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company) in a transaction or a series of related transactions; (iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iv) when any person or entity not currently a stockholder, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based upon voting power); or (v) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of directors, the persons who were directors of the Company before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Company’s Board.

• Procedure Upon Termination (a) Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of Section 9.30(a), specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Special Servicer to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or (ii) the sixth (6th) day of the month in which the final Distribution Date will occur. Upon any such termination, the rights and duties of the Special Servicer (other than the rights and duties of the Special Servicer pursuant to Sections 9.8, 9.21, 9.23, 9.24 and 9.28 hereof) shall terminate and the Special Servicer shall transfer to the Master Servicer the amounts remaining in each REO Account and shall thereafter terminate each REO Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. (b) On the date specified in a written notice of termination given to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.30(a), all authority, power and rights of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall terminate, subject to the Special Servicer’s right to receive compensation and indemnification as expressly provided herein, as well as the benefit of any other rights that survive termination hereunder; provided, that in no event shall the termination of the Special Servicer be effective until the Trustee or other successor Special Servicer shall have succeeded the Special Servicer as successor Special Servicer, notified the Special Servicer of such designation, and such successor Special Servicer shall have assumed the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities, as set forth in an agreement substantially in the form hereof, with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Trustee or other successor Special Servicer may not succeed the Special Servicer as Special Servicer until and unless it has satisfied the provisions that would apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.20 hereof and otherwise complies with Section 9.30(g). The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Special Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Special Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Special Servicer including, without limitation, providing the Trustee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the successor Special Servicer designated by the Trustee to assume the Special Servicer’s functions hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Special Servicer in any REO Account and any other account or fund maintained or thereafter received with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. On the date specified in a written notice of termination given to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.30(a), all authority, power and rights of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, whether such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or otherwise, shall terminate. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Special Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.

• Transition of Registry upon Termination of Agreement Upon expiration of the Term pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 or any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, Registry Operator shall provide ICANN or any successor registry operator that may be designated by ICANN for the TLD in accordance with this Section 4.5 with all data (including the data escrowed in accordance with Section 2.3) regarding operations of the registry for the TLD necessary to maintain operations and registry functions that may be reasonably requested by ICANN or such successor registry operator. After consultation with Registry Operator, ICANN shall determine whether or not to transition operation of the TLD to a successor registry operator in its sole discretion and in conformance with the Registry Transition Process; provided, however, that (i) ICANN will take into consideration any intellectual property rights of Registry Operator (as communicated to ICANN by Registry Operator) in determining whether to transition operation of the TLD to a successor registry operator and (ii) if Registry Operator demonstrates to ICANN’s reasonable satisfaction that (A) all domain name registrations in the TLD are registered to, and maintained by, Registry Operator or its Affiliates for their exclusive use, (B) Registry Operator does not sell, distribute or transfer control or use of any registrations in the TLD to any third party that is not an Affiliate of Registry Operator, and (C) transitioning operation of the TLD is not necessary to protect the public interest, then ICANN may not transition operation of the TLD to a successor registry operator upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement without the consent of Registry Operator (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not prohibit ICANN from delegating the TLD pursuant to a future application process for the delegation of top-­‐level domains, subject to any processes and objection procedures instituted by ICANN in connection with such application process intended to protect the rights of third parties. Registry Operator agrees that ICANN may make any changes it deems necessary to the IANA database for DNS and WHOIS records with respect to the TLD in the event of a transition of the TLD pursuant to this Section 4.5. In addition, ICANN or its designee shall retain and may enforce its rights under the Continued Operations Instrument for the maintenance and operation of the TLD, regardless of the reason for termination or expiration of this Agreement.

• Events Upon Termination (a) If this Agreement is terminated, cancelled or ends for any reason, the Operator shall: (i) promptly forward to AHS, all reports required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) at the request of AHS, return to AHS any Confidential Information; and (iii) promptly provide to AHS an invoice for any Services provided under the terms of this Agreement up to the date of termination for which it has not been paid. The invoice shall appropriately identify the Services provided to AHS and shall be in such format as required by AHS. (b) Commencing upon any written notice of termination of this Agreement, the Operator will: (i) continue to provide Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement during the termination assistance period and assist AHS to facilitate the orderly transition and migration of Services to any alternate operator to allow the Services to continue without interruption or adverse effect; (ii) develop, in consultation with AHS, a mutually agreed to termination assistance plan for transition of the Services from the Operator to any alternate operator; and (iii) after this Agreement terminates, provide answers to questions from any alternate operator regarding the Services, systems and any other material provided by the Operator to AHS under this Agreement on an "as needed" basis for a period of three (3) months or such other time period that the Parties agree to.
