WHEREAS, on March 6, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the 2001 Amended and Restated Operating Performance Bonus Plan for Executive Officers of Safeway Inc. (the “Bonus Plan”);

WHEREAS, Section 7.1 provides that the Bonus Plan may be wholly or partially amended at any time by the Board of Directors;

WHEREAS, Section 2.2 of the Bonus Plan provides the §162(m) Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) with negative discretion as to bonus awards payable to Executive Officers (as defined in the Bonus Plan), excluding the CEO;

“At the discretion of the Committee, however, the Committee may reduce the bonus amount payable to the CEO.”

RESOLVED FURTHER, that all other terms of the Bonus Plan remain unchanged and are in full force and effect.
