               the  limitations  of Section 415 of the Internal  Revenue Code of
               1986, as amended,  and any successor  thereto) shall not be taken
               into account;

               (ii) Any limitation on the amount of annual  compensation  of the

               Compensation  Plans,  or the 1990  Plan or the 2000  Plan for the
               year in which  the  compensation  is  deferred,  but  only  those
               components of deferred compensation which, if not deferred, would
               be taken into account in determining  benefits under the Salaried
               Pension Plan; (B)  compensation  deferred under certain  deferred
               compensation   arrangements  relating  to  phantom  stock,  which

               and  (C)  Employer  contributions  to  Albertson's,  Inc.  Senior

               (v) Such Officer  Participant's  Accrued Benefit shall be reduced
               by the sum of (A) the Officer Participant's accrued benefit under
               the Salaried Pension Plan, (B) the Officer  Participant's accrued
               benefit,  if any,  under the Corporate  Pension Plan, and (C) the
               actuarial equivalent of the Officer  Participant's vested account
               balances in the "company contribution on pay accounts" under ASRE
               II and ASRE Makeup Plan.

          If  an  Officer  Participant  becomes  a  Non-Officer  Participant  or
          otherwise  ceases  to be in the  eligible  class  of  employees  under
          Section  2.01  without  retiring or  terminating  employment  with the
          Employer,  the  Participant's  benefit shall continue to accrue and be
          calculated pursuant to this Section 3.01(a).

               (b)  A  Non-Officer  Participant's  Accrued  Benefit  shall  be a
          monthly retirement  benefit equal to an amount calculated  pursuant to
          Section  4.01  (as  amended  from  time  to  time),  or any  successor
          provision  thereto,  of the Salaried  Pension Plan with the  following
          modifications:

                    (i) Annual compensation shall include compensation otherwise
               payable by the Employer to the Non-Officer  Participant which the
               Non-Officer  Participant  elects to defer  under the 1990 Plan or
               2000 Plan for the year in which the compensation is deferred, but
               only those  components  of deferred  compensation  which,  if not
               deferred,  would be taken into  account in  determining  benefits
               under the Salaried Pension Plan; and

                    (ii) Such Non-officer Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be
               reduced by the sum of (A) the Non-Officer  Participant's  accrued
               benefit under the Salaried  Pension Plan and (B) by the actuarial
               equivalent  of  the  Non-officer   Participant's  vested  account
               balances in the "company contribution on pay accounts" under ASRE
               II and ASRE Makeup Plan. If a Non-Officer  Participant  ceases to
               be in the eligible class of employees  under Section 2.01 without
               retiring  or  terminating   employment  with  the  Employer,  the
               Participant's  benefit shall continue to accrue and be calculated
               pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Employer has caused this instrument to be executed
by its  officer,  duly  authorized  by its Board of  Directors,  this 1st day of
December, 1999. ALBERTSON'S, INC.
