      AGREEMENT made as of this 13th day of April, 2000 and effective as of the

14th day of February, 2000, by and between The Grand Union Company, a Delaware

            (a) The Executive shall serve as Senior Vice President, Chief

Information Officer of the Company or such other position as may be agreed

between the Executive and the Company, and shall perform such duties, services

and responsibilities as are consistent with such positions, including the

the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, engage in any other

business activity which would interfere with the performance of his duties,

services and responsibilities hereunder or which is in violation of policies

established from time to time by the Company. The foregoing shall not be

construed to prohibit (i) the Executive's service as a member of the board of

directors or as an officer of any non-profit trade association or civic,

educational or charitable organization, or (ii) subject to the following proviso

and the provisions of Section 8(b), the Executive from making personal

investments of a passive nature; provided that such service or investments by

the Executive do not materially interfere with the performance by the Executive

of his duties, services and responsibilities hereunder.



            (c) During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be based at the

Company's principal executive offices in Wayne, New Jersey, which executive

offices may be relocated within a 100-mile radius of the Company's existing

executive offices (such 100 mile radius of Wayne, New Jersey, constituting the

"Principal Office City"), except for reasonably required travel in the

performance of his duties, services and responsibilities hereunder.



      2. Term. This Agreement and the term of employment of the Executive

hereunder shall commence as of February 14, 2000 ("Effective Date") and shall

officer, director, employee, member of any committee of the Company or any of

its subsidiaries, or otherwise), the Company will, during the Employment Term,

pay the Executive a salary (the "Salary") at no less than an annual rate of
