EXHIBIT 10.26

SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This Supply Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 16th day of May, 2003 by and between Unified Western Grocers, Inc., a California corporation (“Supplier”), and Smart & Final Oregon, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Company”).

RECITALS

A. In May 1998, Smart & Final Inc. (“SFI”) and United Grocers, Inc. (“United Grocers”) entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which, among other things, SFI acquired certain stores and assets from United Grocers. In connection therewith, SFI and United Grocers also entered into a supply agreement (the “Original Supply Agreement”) dated as of May 15, 1998, pursuant to which United Grocers supplied various food products, dry goods and support services to SFI. Supplier, as the successor to United Grocers, has assumed and performed all of the obligations and duties, and obtained all of the benefits, of United Grocers under the Original Supply Agreement.

B. The Original Supply Agreement expires by its terms on May 15, 2003, and Company and Supplier now desire to enter into a new supply agreement pursuant to which Supplier will continue to supply various food products, dry goods and support services to Company at certain of Company’s existing and future properties (the “Properties”) located in Northern California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington (the “Market Area”). The Company’s Properties that are subject to this Agreement are listed on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Products. Company will continue to use Supplier as its primary supplier of products (“Products”) for the Properties located in the Market Area; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Company from utilizing other suppliers for Properties located in Northern California or in locations outside the Market Area. Any new stores opened by Company in the Market Area shall automatically be added to Exhibit ”A” and become subject to this Agreement. Regardless of the number of Properties operated by Company in the Market Area, the Company shall purchase from Supplier at least $** per each twelve (12) month period during the term of this Agreement, of which the greater of $**, or ** percent (**%), will be total meat purchases, and the greater of $**, or ** percent (**%), will be total produce purchases (the “Minimum Purchase Requirements”). Whether the Company is satisfying the Minimum Purchase Requirements shall be measured quarterly on a rolling four (4) quarters basis. Products purchased by Company shall be classified and attributed to categories in a fashion consistent with the custom and practices currently utilized by the Parties during the Original Supply Agreement. Company shall place orders for Products with Supplier by on-line transmission, according to existing schedules and protocols.

2. Service Levels.

a. Supplier agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the targeted Service Level for Ad Items ordered by Company hereunder will be maintained at one hundred percent (100%) and, for all other merchandise currently supplied by Supplier, at ninety-seven and one-half percent (97.5%) (herein the “Service Levels”). The average of these amounts shall be the “Required Service Level.”

b. Supplier will provide Company, throughout the term of this Agreement, a weekly Service Level Reconciliation Report showing, with respect to all orders processed during that week, (a) the aggregate dollar amount, calculated by reference to “Supplier’s Defined Cost” for such Products determined in accordance with Exhibit “B” attached hereto, of the various orders of Product submitted by Company to Supplier during that week (the “Gross Order Amount”), (b) the total dollar amount (based upon “Supplier’s Defined Cost” as of the date of the corresponding orders) of all Products, during the agreed-upon pick-up or delivery windows, available for pick-up or delivery pursuant to orders submitted during that week (the “Actual Delivered Amount”), and (c) the total dollar amount reflected in the Gross Order Amount attributable to Products that have been discontinued, that were unauthorized, or that were unavailable or out-of-stock (including “vendor’s scratches,” vendor out-of-stock and vendor out-of-pack) (the “Order Reduction Amount”). As used herein, the “Service Level” for a given period shall be calculated as the relationship of (i) the Actual Delivered Amount to (ii) the Gross Ordered Amount less the Order Reduction Amount (which resulting difference is herein referred to as the “Net Ordered Amount”).

c. In the event the Service Level calculated for any consecutive thirteen (13) week period within four (4) consecutive calendar quarters during the term hereof falls below the Required Service Level but remains above ninety three percent (93%) (a “Minor Service Level Breach”), then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Company, Supplier shall pay to Company a penalty equal to four percent (4%) of Supplier’s Defined Cost of the Products constituting the Minor Service Level Breach shortfall as provided in Section 19 below.

d. In the event that the Service Level, calculated for any thirteen (13) week period within four (4) consecutive calendar quarters during the term hereof, falls below ninety three percent (93%) (a “Major Service Level Breach”), then without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Company, Company at its option, may inform Supplier of Company’s intent to seek an alternative source of supply for Products and may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Company, and upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Supplier, terminate this Agreement; provided however, in the event that Company fails to give notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement within ninety (90) days after Company has notified Supplier that it believes a Major Service Level Breach has occurred, then Company’s right to terminate for such Major Service Level Breach will be deemed waived. Supplier shall provide Company with a copy of its Service Level Reconciliation Report each week promptly following the date that it has data available to prepare such report in the ordinary course of business, and also will provide Company with copies of its monthly, quarterly and annual compilations of the Service Level Reconciliation Reports promptly following the dates that it has the data available to prepare such reports in the ordinary course of business.

e. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Supplier will not be in breach hereof, and no Major or Minor Service Level Breach will be deemed to have occurred, if Supplier’s failure to maintain the requisite Service Level as provided herein is a result of (A) a material default by Company under this Agreement, (B) picketing or other labor disputes other than an Extended Labor Dispute as provided in Section 2.f., below, (C) an event of force majeure as described in Section 16 below, or (D) failure by Company to provide Supplier on a timely basis, as appropriate, the Ad/Display Requirements and/or the New Product Projections as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event Company purchases Products from sources other than Supplier because of Supplier’s inability to provide Products because of a labor dispute at supplier’s facilities, then such purchases shall be considered purchases by Company for purposes of satisfying Company’s minimum purchase requirements as set forth in section 1 of this Agreement.

f. Notwithstanding Section 2.e. above, in the event there exists picketing or other forms of labor dispute at Supplier’s facility or facilities that causes Supplier to be unable to achieve a ninety-three percent (93%) Service Level during any measurement period, and such condition shall continue for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, then Company may provide written notice to Supplier of Company’s intent to terminate this Agreement. Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice, provided that the right to terminate pursuant to this Section shall not be effective if (i) the Extended Labor Dispute ceases within such notice period or (ii) Supplier is able to restore and maintain a ninety-three percent (93%) Service Level within the notice period.

g. Each Party agrees to notify the other party promptly if it disputes the action of the other Party with respect to an actual or alleged Major or Minor Service Level Breach. The parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve any disputes through good faith negotiation within fifteen (15) days of such notice. If any such dispute is not so resolved within said fifteen (15) day period, the parties shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration as provided in Section 28. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier agrees that, during the period following notice of a termination because of a Major Service Level Breach until the termination date, it will continue to service Company’s special order requirements at current levels of service. Supplier also shall continue to order, and Supplier shall continue to warehouse, all Products including, but not limited to, retail dry grocery, produce, fresh and smoked meats, deli and frozen meats and foods, on such basis as Supplier, in its discretion, determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

3. Pricing/Service Fee/Transportation.

a. Supplier’s invoice prices shall reflect “Supplier’s Defined Cost” for Products as of the date of invoice as determined in accordance with Exhibit ”B” attached hereto.

b. Company shall pay Supplier a service fee (“Service Fee”) equal to an applicable percentage for all orders invoiced during each week. The applicable percentage shall be based upon purchase levels during the applicable period, as set forth in the Service Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” The applicable Service Fee percentage shall be recalculated on a quarterly basis starting with the quarter ending June 30, 2003, and shall apply to the next quarter based upon the actual purchases in the immediately preceding four (4)

quarters. Within ten (10) days after the end of each quarter, or sooner if the data is available to determine the appropriate Service Fee, Supplier shall notify Company of the applicable Service Fee to be in effect for the then current quarter. During the period from May 16, 2003 through June 30, 2003, the Service Fee will be determined based upon the rolling twelve (12) month volume of orders during the period ended March 31, 2003. Company shall pay the applicable Service Fee to Supplier in accordance with the payment terms described in Section 9. The Service Fee shall not include any charges for transportation activities.

c. Supplier shall invoice Company separately for all transportation services provided by Supplier to Company during the term of this Agreement. Supplier shall charge Company for transportation services provided to Company at a rate equal to the lowest published rate including fuel surcharges, if any, Supplier makes available to its other customers from its Milwaukie, Oregon distribution center. The parties agree that Company shall be responsible for all deliveries to all Properties in the State of Washington. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall have the option to utilize third party carriers for any and all deliveries, and in such event, at the request of Company, Supplier shall manage the services of such third party carriers in a manner which ensures the efficient and effective utilization of such third party carriers at no additional cost to Company.

d. During the term of this Agreement, Supplier shall pay to Company an annual transportation allowance for shipments to Company’s District 17/Northern California marketing region. Such transportation allowance shall be calculated in monthly installments of $**, shall be paid quarterly, and shall not exceed $** in any contract year. Such transportation allowance shall not be due if and when Company ceases utilizing Supplier’s transportation services to Company’s District 17/Northern California marketing region or shall be proportionately reduced if utilization of Supplier’s transportation services is reduced below the services provided as of March 31, 2003.

4. Services. Supplier shall continue to provide to Company all of the services listed on Exhibit “D” attached hereto for the amounts set forth therein (the “Optional Services”), and shall continue to provide other services provided as of the expiration date of the Original Supply Agreement without reduction in level of service for no additional cost to Company. Supplier shall have the option to provide the Optional Services with its own employees or by third parties. The parties acknowledge that no payments shall be due with respect to any of the Optional Services not utilized by Company. Supplier agrees to coordinate all of the services provided to Company and to use reasonable efforts to adjust or revise such services to conform to Company’s reporting and accounting cycles, customs, practices, controls and policies. As soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, Company and Supplier will meet to determine what, if any, changes to information systems are necessary to improve the reporting and operational information provided Company, and the cost of same. The parties will share the mutually agreed cost of such common information systems project designed to improve the parties mutual systems, and will commence work on such project at the earliest mutually convenient time. To the extent that Company requests any new or additional services or any conforming adjustments or revisions beyond either those historic levels of service or the currently existing levels (herein, a “Supplementary Service”), then the parties shall negotiate in good faith and first agree on the amount of consideration to be paid to Supplier to provide such Supplementary Service. If the parties, despite their best efforts and good faith

[**]

negotiation, are unable to agree upon the amount of consideration to be paid for the Supplementary Service, then the parties will attempt to resolve the matter by a formal non-binding mediation with an independent neutral mediator selected to by the parties. If following such mediation, the parties remain unable to agree upon the consideration to be paid for the Supplementary Service, then Supplier shall have no obligation to provide the Supplementary Service, and Company shall be free to contract with such third party or parties as Company, in its discretion, may determine to provide same; provided, however, that if Company engages a third party to provide such Supplementary Service, and, by either convenience or necessity, such third party complementarily thereto provides services that comprise part of the services, then and to the extent of Supplier’s resulting avoided costs in providing the services other than the Optional Services (but only if such avoided costs in each instance exceed $10,000), Company shall receive an appropriate credit against amounts otherwise payable to Supplier hereunder in an amount of Supplier’s cost in providing the service. It is agreed that Company will be the sole and exclusive employer of employees at the Properties (“Company Employees”) and that by providing human resource services to Company, Supplier will not become an employer or a joint employer of any Company Employee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a “joint employer” relationship between Company and Supplier. During the term of this Agreement, representatives of Supplier shall meet quarterly with representatives of Company to ensure coordination of the services provided by Supplier to Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, Company shall have the right at Company’s expense and upon reasonable notice to audit Supplier’s books and records for the purpose of verifying costs and payment hereunder and Supplier shall provide Company and its representatives with access to such of Supplier’s systems, data, accounts, procedures, controls and personnel, and shall provide copies of such of Supplier’s reports, agreements, statements and other documents generated by, prepared for, or delivered to Supplier in connection with the Products and services provided by Supplier to Company under this Agreement for the limited and exclusive purpose of verifying amounts payable under Sections 3 and 4.

5. Delivery. Supplier will deliver Products in accordance with the Delivery Schedule in effect on the date hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit “E,” as amended from time to time. In addition, from and after the date hereof, Company and Supplier will confer and agree to delivery time windows consistent with those used in calculating the Service Levels. Such delivery time windows and delivery frequencies shall be established to accommodate, to the maximum extent possible, both the ongoing need of Supplier to maximize operating/distribution efficiencies and Company’s on-going desire to maintain optimal operations, with due consideration to the special requirements with respect to delivery of fresh produce and delivery to small sales volume stores. To the extent consistent with these parameters, the parties will endeavor to establish delivery schedules as will enable Supplier, to the maximum extent practicable, to deliver Products on the basis of full truck, combination loads. So long as Supplier receives reasonably sufficient lead time from the time that Company submits its order, Company reserves the right to cancel all or a portion of Products that are not delivered on the date or to the delivery location specified in the order. Any detention, storage, or delayed transportation charges levied against Company by reason of the actions or omissions of Supplier, its agents, employees, subcontractors or carriers (other than such actions or omissions taken at the direction or with the approval or acquiescence of Company, or actions or omissions caused in whole or in part by an event of force majeure) shall at Company’s option be billed back to Supplier. Additional deliveries requested or created through actions or omission of Company, its agents,

employees or subcontractors shall create additional charges equal to the rates used in the calculation of freight for Company merchandise. Supplier agrees to remain liable for all damaged or non-conforming Products in accordance with normal return and credit policies practiced by Supplier. Delivery at new stores opened over the term of this Agreement will be at schedules that are consistent with those historically provided for existing stores.

6. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to the Products shall remain with Supplier until Supplier’s tender of delivery thereof at Company’s designated delivery location of the Products. Risk of loss shall pass to Company upon tender of delivery at Company’s designated delivery location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company (or Supplier acting as Company’s agent) engages a third party carrier to transport Products, title and risk of loss shall pass to Company upon delivery of the Products to Company’s carrier.

7. Term. The term of this Agreement shall become effective upon signature by both parties and shall continue in effect until November 30, 2005. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall become effective on May 18, 2003; until then all terms and conditions of the Original Supply Agreement shall remain in force and effect. Provided that Company is not then in default under this Agreement, Company shall have two (2) successive one-year options to extend the term of this Agreement upon the same terms and conditions set forth herein, except that Service Fees shall increase by 25 basis points during the first option period, and shall increase by an additional 25 basis points during the second option period. To be effective, each option must be exercised by written notice to Supplier at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial term or the extended term, as applicable. The first extended term shall commence on December 1, 2005 and continue until November 30, 2006, and the second extended term shall commence on December 1, 2006 and continue to November 30, 2007.

Company shall have the right to collect all applicable vendor allowances and rebates directly from its vendors without adjustment by Supplier, provided that Supplier, solely at the direction of Company, shall be entitled to offset all vendor allowances owed to Company against vendor invoices, or, at Company’s option exercised with seven (7) days notice to Supplier, may pay such sums to Company and collect the amounts directly from vendors. In the event Supplier prepays items to or for the benefit of Company, Company will indemnify Supplier against nonpayment by such vendors unless Supplier’s actions are the cause of such nonpayment by the vendor. Upon ten (10) days prior notice to Supplier, Company may set off against any amounts owing under any invoices the amount of any unpaid liquidated damages then due under Section 18 below; during said ten (10) day period, Company shall confer with Supplier to discuss the proposed set-off, the basis for same, and Company and Supplier shall endeavor during that ten (10) day period to resolve any differences with respect thereto.

iii. If Supplier defaults under any loan agreement with its lenders, and such default remains uncured for sixty (60) days; or

iv. If vendors representing ten percent (10%) or more of Company’s purchasing volume refuse to supply Supplier for any reason.

b. Company shall be in default (a “Company Event of Default”) if Company breaches any material provision or condition of this Agreement. If a Company Event of Default occurs and is not cured by Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Supplier, then in addition to any other right or remedy which Supplier may have under this Agreement, Supplier shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. In the event Company shall be in default of a payment due Supplier, and such payment default is not the result of a good faith dispute between Company and Supplier and Company has deposited the disputed amount in an escrow pending resolution of the dispute in the manner set forth in this Agreement, then Supplier shall be under no obligation to supply Products or services for so long as the payment default remains uncured and/or the dispute remains unresolved.

c. Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, in the event of termination of this Agreement prior to the end of the stated term, either party (so long as such party is not then in default under this Agreement as described in this Section 17) may require the other party to continue to honor the terms of this Agreement for up to six (6) additional months to allow Company and Supplier to effect an efficient transition.

e. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Company agrees to purchase all remaining Unique Inventory then in date and in the hands of Supplier at Supplier’s Defined Cost for such Products. As used herein a Product shall be considered “Unique Inventory” if at least 80% of the total sales of such Product in the immediately preceding quarter shall have been to Company. Supplier’s rights under this paragraph shall be limited to one normal historical inventory turn of such items, except that Company shall be obligated to purchase all inventory of Company’s private label Products.

18. Special Provisions.

a. Company shall provide notice to Supplier of Company’s ad/display quantity requirements (“Ad/Display Requirements”) no later than twenty-one (21) days prior to shipment thereof as called for in the corresponding purchase order. In addition, Company shall provide notice to Supplier of Company’s projections, twenty-one (21) days prior to shipment thereof, for demand of any new Products (“New Product Projections”). Failure to so provide the Ad/Display Requirements or New Product Projections shall operate to excuse Supplier from

liability or any other consequence called for hereunder (and shall not be taken into account in calculating the Service Level or otherwise in determining whether a Service Level Breach or a Major Service Level Breach has occurred) to the extent the actual Ad/Display quantity or New Product requirements with respect to which prior notice was not timely provided to Supplier exceed Company’s normal quantity requirements with respect to the same Products.

b. In the event that Company discontinues to offer for sale (or otherwise substantially reduces its projected demand for) a unique Product sold by Supplier exclusively to Company and with respect to which Supplier has or maintains inventory, then Company shall promptly so notify Supplier, and Company shall thereupon purchase and accept delivery all such inventory (or, in the case of a reduced projected demand, all excess inventory) from Supplier over a reasonable period of time.

c. Supplier shall have full control and authority over all procurement responsibilities involved in connection with Supplier’s performance hereunder, including the procurement of all inventory of Products for ultimate resale to Company pursuant to this Agreement, and Supplier shall employ, and shall have and enjoy all rights and authority (and obligations) of an employer with respect to all procurement personnel (including all rights with respect to compensation, discipline and termination of such personnel). Supplier shall confer with Company with respect to the selection and compensation of procurement personnel involved in servicing Supplier’s obligations hereunder, and shall, if so requested by Company, furnish to Company relevant information in the possession of Supplier relating to the qualifications and background of any applicant for such a procurement position with Supplier (subject, however, to the privacy rights of such applicant).

d. Supplier shall be entitled to perform its obligations to Company under this Agreement through the use of distribution centers in addition to Supplier’s Distribution Center Warehouse in Portland, Oregon, provided that the use of such additional distribution centers is at no additional cost (including transportation costs) to Company, and provided further that there is no reduction in Service Levels, delivery schedules, timing of services, quality of services or Products, or other performance criteria under this Agreement.

e. Supplier and Company agree that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall affect the existing standard operating practices of the parties, and that such standard operating practices shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time.

19. Liquidated Damages for Breach of Service Level Obligations. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IF, DURING ANY CALENDAR QUARTER THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUPPLIER COMMITS A SERVICE LEVEL BREACH, THEN COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE FROM SUPPLIER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 4% MULTIPLIED BY THE EXCESS, IF ANY, OF (A) THAT AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ACTUAL DELIVERED AMOUNT DURING THAT QUARTER HAD THE MINIMUM SERVICE LEVELS BEEN ACHIEVED, OVER (B) THE ACTUAL DELIVERED AMOUNT FOR THAT CALENDAR QUARTER, WHICH RESULTING AMOUNT SHALL BE CALCULATED BASED ON A BLENDED

RATE FOR AD ITEMS AND ALL OTHER MERCHANDISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE COMPANY’S ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF SUPPLIER BREACHES SUCH OBLIGATION, AND THAT SUCH SUM IS THE BEST ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES COMPANY WOULD SUFFER. THIS SUM SHALL BE THE AMOUNT THAT THE COMPANY IS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO A SERVICE LEVEL BREACH (EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOR A MAJOR SERVICE LEVEL BREACH), AND SHALL BE COMPANY’S SOLE REMEDY FOR A SERVICE LEVEL BREACH, BUT SHALL NOT LIMIT IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES COMPANY MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OF SUPPLIER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES WITNESS THEIR AGREEMENT TO THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES’ PROVISION BY SEPARATELY INITIALING THIS SECTION.

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the Exhibits attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written.

22. Amendment and Modification. No supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

23. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are included for purposes of reference and convenience only, and shall not define, construe or limit the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

24. Assignment. Neither party shall transfer, assign or delegate (other than ordinary subcontracting incidental and customary to such party’s performance hereunder, and other than the assignment of accounts arising with respect to the sale of Products or the performance of services hereunder as collateral to a bank or other lender as security for a loan) its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without Company’s prior consent, Supplier shall be entitled to assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement to any entity which acquires all or a major portion of the business or operating assets of Supplier, provided that any such assignee expressly assumes Supplier’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and that the net worth of such assignee equals or exceeds the net worth of Supplier as of the closing date of the transaction contemplated by the purchase agreement. Without Supplier’s prior consent, Company shall be entitled to assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement to any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Company.

25. Governing Law; Venue. The validity, construction and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within that state.

26. Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

27. Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees. Each party shall bear the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the agreements contemplated by this Agreement. In the event any party takes legal action (including arbitration or mediation) to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the party who is determined to be the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees for pretrial investigation, at trial, and on appeal, incurred in such action.

28. Mediation; Arbitration. The parties already have executed an agreement releasing each other from any and all claims arising under the Original Supply Agreement. Any

dispute claim or controversy, including Service Level disputes, concerning, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any such dispute, claim or controversy concerning, arising out of, or relating to the making, performance or interpretation hereof) shall first be mediated by the parties. If the dispute, claim or controversy is not settled by way of mediation, then the parties shall submit the same to binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment or decree on the arbitration award or the decision of the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator(s) may award damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, and/or permanent injunctive relief, but in no event shall the arbitrator have the authority to award punitive or exemplary damages. The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator(s), shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable litigation fees and costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, or other provisional remedy pending final determination of a claim through arbitration in accordance with this Section. If proper notice of any hearing has been given, the arbitrator will have full power to proceed to take evidence or to perform any other acts necessary to arbitrate the matter in the absence of any party who fails to appear. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE HEREBY WAIVING THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL BY AGREEING TO SUBMIT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES TO FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

30. Severable Provisions. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to be the extent enforceable, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

31. Confidentiality. Each of Company and Supplier (as appropriate, the “promisor”) agrees to and will cause its respective authorized agents, representatives, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, accountants, counsel and other designated representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any person to) all records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party (the “promisee”) in the promisor’s possession or furnished by the promisee or its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the event that promisor or its Representatives become legally compelled to disclose any such Information, provide the promisee with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the promisee may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 31, and (iii) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the promisee waives compliance with this Section 31, furnish only that portion of such Information which is legally required to be provided and exercise promisor’s best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Information; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any Information that, at the time of disclosure, is available publicly and was not disclosed in breach of this Agreement by such party or its Representatives; and provided further, however, that the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above

shall not preclude a party from disclosing Information to its Representatives or to its lenders or their Representatives (provided that each such Representative shall be advised of the confidential nature of such Information) or from disclosing Information to or filing Information within any governmental authority or agency with jurisdiction over such party. Each party agrees and acknowledges that remedies at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 31 are inadequate and that in addition thereto the other party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach, without the necessity of demonstrating the inadequacy of monetary damages. The provisions of this Section 31 shall not apply to the extent any such Information is required to be disclosed by applicable law.

32. Use of Name. The parties acknowledge that during the term of this Agreement, Company shall have the right and license, for no additional consideration, to use the name “United Grocers Cash & Carry” in connection with the Properties and business which are the subject of this Agreement.

33. Noncompetition. Supplier agrees that during the term of this Agreement, provided Company is not in default of this Agreement, Supplier will not own or operate any stores or food service businesses in Northern California, Idaho, Oregon or Washington that are similar to Company’s Properties listed on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (and any additional such Properties opened by Company after the date hereof) and which are or may be competitive with Company’s Properties. In addition, in these same areas Supplier will not supply Restaurant Depo/Jetro so long as Company has satisfied its Minimum Purchase Requirements under this Agreement.

The parties have executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.

Re:

Cost Audit Format

I have been engaged by Smart & Final to perform the audit of product costs for each of the proposals for the Cash & Carry supply business. Jim Burge sent me the cost information files from each of the companies. In order to ensure a smooth, fair, timely and accurate cost audit, Jim and I want to be certain each company is following consistent guidelines for the cost audit/comparison sample.

Please review the guidelines. If you have questions, contact me at ###-###-#### or email at ***@***.

For purposes of the audit, our understanding is “Dead Net” cost is defined as the following:

Mfg. List Cost

Plus: Freight Charge or Plus Backhaul Charge

Less: Freight Allowance or Backhaul Allowance

Less: Truckload Allowance or Bracket Allowance

Less: Freight Cash Discount

Equals: Delivered Cost

Less: Cash Discount

Less: Temporary Off Invoice Allowance

Less: Performance Allowance (Bill-back or Off Invoice)

Less: Other Discounts and Allowances

Less: Swells Allowance

Less: Corporate Discounts and Accruals

Less: Other Product Accruals (Corporate, Regional or Local)

Equals: Dead Net Cost

It would be very helpful if you could send a “Dead Net” cost file as soon as possible, with columns for each of the applicable cost elements listed above. Separate meat and produce into a separate file from all other items and sort by UPC sequence.

We recognize that not all cost elements will be available on all items, so list those that apply.

Accurate reporting of this information for the sample cost audit/comparison will facilitate an accurate and timely completion to the phase of your proposal to Smart & Final.

Re:

Supply Agreement Between Unified Western Grocers, Inc. and Smart & Final Oregon, Inc.

Dear Bob:

This letter will confirm the mutual understanding of the parties with respect to the obligations of Smart & Final Oregon, Inc. and Smart & Final Stores Corporation under the supply agreement.

As I have represented to you, Smart & Final Stores Corporation owns all of the outstanding stock of Smart & Final Oregon, Inc., and although Smart & Final Oregon, Inc. will be the contracting party under the supply agreement, since all of its stock is held by Smart & Final Stores Corporation, the full faith and credit of Smart & Final Stores Corporation stands behind the supply agreement as it has since 1998.

This will also serve to confirm that I have the authority of the Board of Directors of Smart & Final Stores Corporation to provide you with this representation.

Sincerely,

/s/ DONALD G. ALVARADO

Donald G. Alvarado

TERMINATION AGREEMENT

This termination agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 14 day of May, 2003 by and between Smart & Final Stores Corporation, a California corporation (“SFI”), and Unified Western Grocers, Inc., a California corporation (“UWG”).

R E C I T A L S

A. SFI and Certified Grocers of California, Ltd. (“Certified”) are parties to an agreement to sell and purchase real property and escrow instructions dated September 12, 1997, as amended by a first amendment thereto dated as of April 6, 1998 (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”).

B. Section 8.1.2 of the Purchase Agreement granted Certified a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) to sublease from SFI certain space in the property (the ”Property”) described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto on the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

C. Section 8.1.3 of the Purchase Agreement granted Certified a one-time option (the “Option”) to purchase the Property described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto from SFI on the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

D. UWG is the successor to Certified under the Purchase Agreement.

E. The Property also is subject to a right of first refusal to purchase said land (the “Deed Restriction”) as contained in a deed from Central Manufacturing District, Inc. to Certified. recorded in the official records of Los Angeles County, California on March 3, 1950 as Instrument No. 1484.

F. Smart & Final Oregon, Inc. (“SFI Oregon), an affiliate of SFI, and UWG are parties to a supply agreement of even date (the “Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which UWG has agreed to supply various food, dry goods and support services to SFI Oregon. In connection with the execution of the Supply Agreement, UWG and SFI Oregon have agreed that the Right of First Refusal and the Option contained in the Purchase Agreement shall be terminated on the terms set forth below, and that UWG will indemnify SFI and hold it harmless from the Deed Restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Termination of Right of First Refusal. The parties hereby terminate the Right of First Refusal granted to Certified pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, and agree that any and all rights of first refusal to lease space in the Property hereby are terminated.

2. Termination of Option. The parties hereby terminate the Option granted to Certified pursuant to section 8.1.3 of the Purchase Agreement, and agree that any and all options to acquire or repurchase the Property hereby are terminated.

3. Indemnification with Respect to Deed Restriction. UWG hereby agrees fully and forever to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SFI from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, actions, causes of action, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of, related to, or connected with any and all claims which may be made by Central Manufacturing District, Inc. or its successor under the Deed Restriction.

4. Payment in Lieu of Extension of Supply Agreement. In consideration of termination of the Right of First Refusal, termination of the Option, and the indemnification with respect to the Deed Restriction, and provided that the Supply Agreement still is in full force and effect and UWG is not in default thereunder, SFI agrees that in the event SFI Oregon does not exercise the first of its two successive one-year options to extend the term of the Supply Agreement as provided in Section 7 of the Supply Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after the termination of the initial term of the Supply Agreement, SFI will pay UWG ** Dollars ($**). In addition, if SFI Oregon exercises its first one-year option to extend the term of the Supply Agreement, but does not exercise its second one-year option to extend the term of the Supply Agreement as provided in Section 7 of the Supply Agreement, then within thirty (30) days after expiration of the extended term of the Supply Agreement, SFI will pay UWG the sum of ** Dollars ($**). In the event SFI Oregon exercises both options to extend the term of the Supply Agreement, then no payments will be due to UWG pursuant to this section.

MUTUAL RELEASE

This mutual release (“Mutual Release”) is made and entered into as of the 16th day of May, 2003 by and between Unified Western Grocers, Inc., a California corporation (“Supplier”), and Smart & Final Oregon, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Company”).

R E C I T A L S

A. In May 1998, Smart & Final Inc. (“SFI”) and United Grocers, Inc. (“United Grocers”) entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which, among other things, SFI acquired certain stores and assets from United Grocers. In connection therewith, SFI and United Grocers also entered into a supply agreement (the “Original Supply Agreement”) dated as of May 15, 1998, pursuant to which United Grocers supplied various food products, dry goods and support services to SFI. Supplier is the successor to United Grocers under the Original Supply Agreement, and has assumed and performed all of the obligations and duties, and obtained all of the benefits, of United Grocers under the Original Supply Agreement. Company is the successor to SFI under the Original Supply Agreement, and has assumed and performed all of the obligations and duties, and obtained all of the benefits, of SFI under the Original Supply Agreement.

B. Supplier and Company now intend to enter into a new supply agreement (the “New Supply Agreement”) which will become effective on May 16, 2003, and in connection therewith desire to waive and release any and all claims (other than claims arising from third party claims as described in section 3) which either party or their predecessors in interest had, now have, or hereafter can, shall or may have against the other relating in any way to the Original Supply Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Effective upon execution of the New Supply Agreement, Supplier, on its behalf and on behalf of United Grocers and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, hereby releases Company and SFI, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, of and from any and all damages, claims, demands, causes of action, obligations and liabilities, known or unknown, of every kind and nature, which Supplier or United Grocers had or now have or hereafter can, shall or may have against Company and SFI relating in any way to the Original Supply Agreement or the obligations of the parties with respect thereto.

2. Effective upon execution of the New Supply Agreement, Company, on its behalf and on behalf of SFI and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, hereby releases Supplier and United Grocers, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, of and from any and all damages, claims, demands, causes of action, obligations and liabilities, known or unknown, of every kind and nature, which Company or SFI had or now have or hereafter can, shall or may have against Supplier and United Grocers relating in any way to the Original Supply Agreement or the obligations of the parties with respect thereto.

3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the releases contained in this Agreement shall not apply to any claims for contractual or equitable indemnity or for contribution based upon claims made by third parties.

4. The parties acknowledge that they are familiar with the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

The parties each hereby expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon them by section 1542 of the California Civil Code with respect to those claims, whether known or unknown, which are the subject of this Mutual Release.

5. The parties represent that in signing this Mutual Release, they do so with full knowledge of any and all rights which they may have, and they do not rely and have not relied upon any representations of the other party, or its officers, agents or representatives, with regard to any of their rights or asserted rights, and each party hereby assumes the risk of any mistake of fact in connection with the true facts involved or with regard to any facts which are now unknown to them. The parties further represent that they have consulted and secured independent legal advice and consultation in connection with this Mutual Release and any rights which they may be relinquishing.

6. This Mutual Release may be executed in counterparts.

7. This Mutual Release shall be construed in accordance with, and shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

8. This Mutual Release shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

9. In the event of the bringing of any action by either party hereto against the other arising out of this Mutual Release or the subject matter hereof, the party who is determined to be the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs and expenses of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Mutual Release as of the date first set forth above.
