THIS CUSTODY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated this 17th day of March,
2006, is by and among Saker Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("SHC"), and
the individuals and entities named on the signature pages hereto. The
individuals and entities named on the signature pages hereto (other than the
Custodian, as defined below) are at times referred to herein individually as a
"Shareholder" and, collectively, as the "Shareholders." The Shareholders,
together with the Custodian, are at times referred to herein individually as a
"Party" and, collectively, as the "Parties." All references herein made to the
Custodian shall mean the Custodian and/or the Attorney-in-Fact (as defined
herein below) and any successor custodian.

WHEREAS, Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. (the "Company" or "Foodarama") and
SHC have entered into a Tender Offer and Support Agreement, dated as of March 2,
2006 (the "Tender Offer and Support Agreement") whereby SHC proposes to acquire
all of the outstanding shares of Foodarama's common stock, $1.00 par value per
share, not owned by the shareholders of SHC, pursuant to a cash tender offer to
purchase such shares at a price of fifty three dollars ($53) per share (the
"Offer");

WHEREAS, the Offer shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the
approval by the Company's shareholders of an agreement and plan of share
exchange pursuant to which each outstanding share of Foodarama's common stock
would be exchanged for one share of common stock of FSM-Delaware, Inc., a newly
formed Delaware corporation (the "Share Exchange");

WHEREAS, each Shareholder has agreed to exchange that number of shares of
common stock of Foodarama listed next to the Shareholder's name on Schedules A
and A-1 hereto (the "Exchange Shares") pursuant to the terms of that certain
Exchange Agreement, dated March 2, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the
Exchange Agreement, dated March 17, 2006 (collectively, the "Exchange
Agreement"), for an equal number of newly issued shares of common stock of SHC;
and

WHEREAS, in furtherance and support of the Offer, the Share Exchange and
the Exchange Agreement, each Shareholder has agreed to execute this Agreement
for the purposes more specifically set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Custodian; Deposit of Shares.

(a) Each Shareholder hereby appoints John A. Aiello to act as the
custodian (the "Custodian") of the certificates (the "Certificates")

the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Should John A. Aiello be unable or unwilling to act as custodian as
provided for herein, each Shareholder hereby

appoints Philip D. Forlenza to act as custodian for such Shareholder
as if originally named above and appointed hereby. Should Philip D.
Forlenza be unable or unwilling to act as custodian, each
Shareholder hereby appoints the law firm of Giordano, Halleran &

originally named above and appointed hereby. In such event, John A.
Aiello shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Certificates to
Philip D. Forlenza and/or the law firm of Giordano, Halleran &
Ciesla, P.C. and Philip D. Forlenza shall deliver or cause to be
delivered the Certificates to Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, P.C., as
the case may be.

(b) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (except as
otherwise provided herein), each Shareholder has delivered to the
Custodian such Shareholder's respective Certificates, together with
stock powers, in negotiable form (with signatures guaranteed by a
commercial bank or trust company or by a firm that is a member of a
national securities exchange or of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.), representing those Exchange Shares listed
next to such Shareholder's name on Schedule A hereto. With respect
to those Certificates listed next to such Shareholder's name on
Schedule A-1 hereto (except for the Certificates representing the
Collateral Shares, as discussed below), such Shareholder hereby
undertakes to deliver to the Custodian within thirty (30) days
following the date hereof, such Shareholder's respective
Certificates, together with stock powers, in negotiable form as
provided above, representing such Exchange Shares. Further, each
such Shareholder hereby appoints the Custodian to act in all
respects hereunder in his sole discretion, the true attorney-in-fact
(the "Attorney-in-Fact") of such Shareholder, with full power and
authority in the name of and for and on behalf of such Shareholder
with respect to all matters arising out of or in connection with
effecting the delivery of those Certificates listed on Schedule A-1
to the Custodian, including, but not limited to, the power and
authority to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all documents
and instruments which may be required in connection therewith, the
execution and delivery of such documents by the Attorney-in-Fact to
be conclusive evidence with respect to his approval thereof, and to
carry out and comply with each and all of the provisions of the
Exchange Agreement in connection therewith. The Custodian shall hold
the Certificates for the account of each such Shareholder and shall
dispose of the Certificates in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

(c) As promptly as practicable upon the receipt by the Custodian of the
Exchange Notice (as defined in Section 3(a) hereof) from SHC, the
Custodian shall release the Certificates representing the Exchange
Shares and the stock powers referred to in subsection (b) above to
SHC on behalf of the Shareholders unless, prior to such release
there shall have been entered an order by a court of competent
jurisdiction prohibiting such release.

(d) As a result of certain obligations owed to UBS AG ("UBS") by Richard
J. Saker, which obligations are secured, in part, by sixty-nine

"Collateral Shares"), Richard J. Saker will
