                     Charter of the Nominating and Corporate
                  Governance Committee of the Board of Directors
                            of Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc.

The purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Committee”)
is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight of (a) board and committee
composition, (b) board governance practices, (c) director evaluation and educational
programs and (d) non-employee director compensation programs.

Responsibilities of the Committee

       Oversight of Board and Committee Composition

Director Nominations: The Committee determines the processes through which potential
board nominees will be identified, reviews nominee qualifications and recommends
nominees to the board of directors. Nominees are selected based upon criteria established
in our governance principles. The Committee ensures that appropriate due diligence is
conducted relating to the character and background of each prospective nominee. The
Committee establishes procedures to be followed by shareholders of the Company when
suggesting candidates for board membership. The Committee reviews the suitability for
continued service of each incumbent member on an annual basis and any time when a
director experiences a change in status, including but not limited to an employment
change.

Board Size and Operations: As part of its consideration of director nominees, the
Committee regularly reviews the appropriate size of the board of directors. The board
should be small enough to allow for full participation and an exchange of diverse
viewpoints, yet large enough to provide for appropriate skills and resources within the
group and to allow for well-functioning committees.

Committee Structure and Assignments: The Committee, with the advice of the
chairperson of the board and lead director (if any), makes recommendations to the board
of directors regarding committee membership and committee chairpersons. These
recommendations are made based on the criteria established in the governance principles
and the qualifications for membership established in the charters of each committee.

Independence and Other Qualifications: The Committee at least annually makes a
recommendation to the board of directors regarding the independence of each director in
accordance with the requirements set by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
(“NASDAQ”) and the Company’s governance principles, as may be in effect from time
to time. The Committee makes an annual recommendation to the board of directors
regarding the certification of one or more members of the audit committee as “audit
committee financial experts” as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Oversight of Board Governance Practices

Governance Practices: At least annually, the Committee conducts a comprehensive
review of board governance practices and recommends suggested enhancements to the
board of directors. This includes a review of the Company’s articles and by-laws, board
governance principles, authorization guidelines and other board governance practices, as
well as ensuring each committee conducts a review of its charter. The Committee
ensures that the governance practices comply with the requirements of NASDAQ and
the SEC. As part of that review, the Committee may make recommendations to the
chairperson of the board and lead director (if any) on all aspects of board practices.

Insurance and Indemnification: The Committee reviews and makes recommendations to
the board of directors relating to indemnification and insurance programs maintained by
the Company.

Code of Conduct Waivers: The unanimous approval of the Committee and of the board
of directors is required to waive any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics or the Senior Executive and Financial Officer Code of Ethics for any member of
the board or of our senior management team.

       Oversight of Director Evaluation and Educational Programs

Programs: The Committee oversees all programs relating to director orientation and
education. All directors receive an appropriate orientation within 90 days of becoming a
director. Orientation focuses on the Company, its business and its governance practices.
Attendance at ongoing director educational programs is encouraged. Director orientation
and educational programming is also reviewed by the Committee, which recommends
changes, if any, to the board of directors.

Evaluations: The Committee oversees the annual performance evaluation of the board of
directors and ensures that each other committee of the board performs a self-evaluation
and reports that evaluation to the Committee. The Committee determines the format for
all evaluations and reviews evaluation findings.

       Oversight of Director Compensation Programs

Director Compensation: The Committee regularly reviews non-employee director
compensation programs to confirm that they are effective and consistent with the
Company’s strategy and goals. The Committee oversees both cash and equity-based
compensation components for non-employee directors.

Membership of the Committee

Composition and Qualifications: The Committee is composed of no less than three
directors, one of whom serves as chairperson and all of whom are independent in



                                           2O:

accordance with NASDAQ requirements and the Company’s governance principles, as
may be in effect from time to time.

Tenure: Committee members are appointed and removed, and the chairperson of the
Committee is chosen by, a majority of the full board of directors.

Meetings of the Committee

Meetings: The Committee typically meets four times each year in conjunction with the
board of directors regular meetings. Meeting agendas are prepared and provided in
advance to the Committee, together with appropriate meeting materials. Other persons,
including management, other directors and outside advisors, may attend meetings of the
Committee in the Committee’s sole discretion. The Committee maintains minutes or
other records of meetings and activities.

Reports of the Full Board: The Committee reports and makes recommendations as
appropriate to the board of directors with respect to its meetings and activities, including
with respect to director nominations, committee assignments, governance practices, board
educational programming and non-employee director compensation.

Other Matters

Authority and Delegation: With regard to all matters described in this charter, the
Committee has the full power and authority to act in support of the board of directors,
which retains the ultimate authority in these matters except as otherwise required by law
or NASDAQ rules. The Committee may delegate any authority to its chairperson or any
sub-committee, unless prohibited by law.

Outside Advisors: The Committee has the authority to engage legal, financial or other
advisors as it deems appropriate, the cost thereof to be borne by the Company. In the
event that the Committee determines to retain any such advisors, including a search firm
to assist in the identification of potential directors or a director compensation consultant,
the Committee has the sole authority to approve the firm’s scope of assignment, fees and
other terms of its retention, as well as the firm’s termination. A director compensation
consultant retained by the Committee shall not perform other services for the Company
(other than as retained by the Compensation Committee) unless such services are pre-
approved by the Committee, and the Committee is updated regularly as to the status of
such services being provided by the consultant.

Evaluations: At least once each year, the Committee evaluates its own performance.
Each member of the Committee evaluates Committee performance. These evaluations
are reviewed by the chairperson of the Committee. The chairperson of the Committee
discuses evaluation results with the chairperson of the board.

Charter Review: At least once each year, the Committee reviews this charter and
recommends changes, if any, to the board of directors.
