<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Second Amendment to the Marsh Deferred Compensation Plan is adopted by Marsh
Supermarkets, Inc. (&#147;the Company&#148;), effective December&nbsp;20, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><U><B>BACKGROUND</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The Company adopted the Marsh Deferred Compensation Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), effective
January&nbsp;1, 1997, and adopted a First Amendment, effective January&nbsp;1, 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Effective January&nbsp;1, 2005, the Plan became subject to Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Review
Code of 1986 (&#147;Section&nbsp;409A&#148;). Pursuant to regulatory guidance under Section&nbsp;409A, the Company may
amend the Plan to offer each Participant a new payment election with respect to his accrued
benefits under the Plan, without subjecting those payments to adverse taxation under Section&nbsp;409A,
if the amendment and the elections are effected during calendar year 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Pursuant to the Company&#146;s amendment right under Plan Section&nbsp;8.1, the Company has
determined to amend the Plan to provide Participants an election to receive payment in full of
their Plan benefits by payments on specified dates and to make other changes to comply with
Section&nbsp;409A.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;Pursuant to the Company&#146;s termination right under Plan Section&nbsp;8.2, the Company has
determined to terminate the Plan at the end of calendar year 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><U><B>AMENDMENT</B></U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Marsh Deferred Compensation Plan is hereby amended, effective December&nbsp;20,
2005, as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Article&nbsp;V of the Plan is amended to add a new Section&nbsp;5.8, to read as
follows:

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <U>Special Payment Election</U>. Each Participant may elect, before
December&nbsp;28, 2005, to receive payment of his Plan balance as of December&nbsp;31, 2005,
in full satisfaction of all his benefits and other interests under the Plan. If a
Participant elects to receive the special payments, the Company shall make the
payments on the applicable dates. In the event that the Company consummates, before
payment of all installments, a transaction that, at the time of shareholder
approval, constituted a Change in Control within the meaning of Section&nbsp;2.1(h)(4) of
this Plan, the Company will pay the amount of all unpaid installments on the
consummation date. If a Participant does not elect to receive the special payments,
the Participant shall remain eligible to receive payment of his benefits, in an
amount determined as of December&nbsp;31, 2005, according to the other terms of Article&nbsp;V
of the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;Section&nbsp;8.2 is amended to read as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <U>Termination</U>. Effective at the end of December&nbsp;31, 2005, the Plan is
terminated. Upon Plan termination, the crediting under the Plan of all Elective
Deferrals, Employer Matching Amounts, Grandfathered Benefit Amounts, and Profit
Based Matching Amounts, and the crediting of earning on such Accounts, shall cease.
For any Participant who does not make a special payment election pursuant to Section
5.8, the Participant will receive payment of his Plan benefits in the amounts, in
the forms, and at the times otherwise provided under Article&nbsp;V.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;Article&nbsp;XII is amended to add a new Section&nbsp;12.6 to read as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.6 The Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the
standards for nonqualified deferred compensation plans established by Code Section
409A and its interpretive regulations and other regulatory guidance (the &#147;Section
409A Standards&#148;). To the extent that any terms of the Plan would subject any
Participant to gross income inclusion, interest, or additional tax pursuant to Code
Section&nbsp;409A, those terms are to that extent superseded by the applicable Section
409A Standards.
