In addition, all of the stock options and ISPOs held by Mr. Leonard shall become vested and immediately exercisable but will in all respects otherwise

industries in which ARAMARK shall be engaged.

11. Non-Competition Agreement.



(a) Subject to the geographic limitation of Section 11(b), Mr. Leonard, for a period commencing on the date hereof and
ending two (2) years following the end of the Term shall not, without ARAMARKs written permission, directly or indirectly, on his behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, engage in, or in any way
be concerned with or negotiate for, or acquire or maintain any ownership interest in any business or activity which is the same, similar to or competitive with that conducted by, engaged in or developed for later implementation by ARAMARK at any
time during the Term of this Agreement; provided that the provision of this Section 11 shall not be deemed breached merely because Mr. Leonard owns not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a corporation, if, at the time of its acquisition by Mr.
Leonard, such stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system and provided further that Mr. Leonard shall not be required to cease any activity that did not violate this Agreement (or any predecessor
agreement) when such activity commenced.



(b) Mr. Leonard
acknowledges that ARAMARK is engaged in business in each of the 50 states and several foreign countries and that ARAMARK intends to expand the geographic scope of its activities. Accordingly and in view of the nature of his position and
responsibilities, Mr. Leonard agrees that the provisions of Section 11(a) shall be applicable to all 50 states and, addition, to each foreign country, possession or territory in which ARAMARK may be engaged in business from time to time during the
Term and as of the expiration of the Term.



(c) Mr. Leonard
agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the end of the Term he will not, directly or indirectly, at any time in any manner, induce or attempt to influence any employees of ARAMARK to terminate their employment with ARAMARK.



(d) As used in Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement, ARAMARK
shall be deemed to include any entity twenty percent (20%) of the equity of which during the period for which he is receiving payments under this Agreement is directly or indirectly owned by ARAMARK.



12. Equitable Remedies. Mr. Leonard acknowledges that, in the event of
any violation by Mr. Leonard of the provisions of Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement, ARAMARK will sustain serious, irreparable and substantial harm to its business, the extent of which will be difficult to determine and impossible to remedy by an
action at law for money damages. Accordingly, Mr. Leonard agrees that, in the event of such violation or threatened violation by Mr. Leonard, ARAMARK shall be entitled to an injunction before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a
matter of course and upon the posting of not more than a nominal bond in addition to all such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available to ARAMARK. Mr. Leonard further agrees that, in the event any of the provisions of Sections 10 and
11 of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to any applicable statute, law or rule, or for any reason to be unenforceable as written, such court may modify any of such provisions so as to permit
enforcement thereof as thus modified.



13. Additional
Provisions. The provisions of Exhibit B are part of this Agreement.

14. Substitution of Benefits. If any of the items of compensation, bonus or perquisites provided
for in this Agreement shall hereafter be prohibited by governmental regulations, corporate law, ARAMARK policies or ARAMARK plans, payment or benefit of equivalent value shall be substituted by ARAMARK.



15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (with the exhibits hereto and
agreements referred to in Section 7), on and after January 1, 2004, shall constitute the full and complete understanding and agreement of Mr. Leonard and ARAMARK respecting the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings and
agreements, oral or written, express or implied, including without limitation the existing Agreement Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition between Mr. Leonard and ARAMARK (and all Exhibits thereto). This Agreement may not be

Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such invalid or unenforceable

minus (c) the benefit payable from the Survivor Income Protection Plan, but in no event shall the SRB exceed $500,000 per year.
|-- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. |  | Unless otherwise provided below the SRB shall commence on the first day of the month following the expiration of the Term.
|-- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. |  | In all events the SRB shall terminate upon Mr. Leonards death, provided that one-half of the SRB amount that would otherwise be payable to Mr. Leonard shall continue to
be paid to Mr. Leonards then surviving spouse, if any, for her lifetime, provided that the surviving spouse benefit described in this item 3 shall only apply to the individual who is Mr. Leonards spouse at the time of his termination of
employment hereunder.
|-- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

Exhibit B



Excise Tax Gross Up



(a) In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Mr. Leonard pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise from ARAMARK
or any affiliate (the Payments) would be subject to the excise tax (the Excise Tax) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, as determined as provided below, ARAMARK shall pay to Mr. Leonard, at the time specified in (b) below,
an additional amount (the Gross-Up Payment) such that the net amount retained by Mr. Leonard, after deduction of the Excise Tax on the Payments and any federal, state and local income or other tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided
for by this Section (a), and any interest, penalties or additions to tax payable by Mr. Leonard with respect thereto, shall be equal to the value of the Payments at the time such Payments are to be made as if the Excise Tax imposed by Section 4999
did not apply. For purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amounts of such Excise Tax, (1) the total amount of the Payments shall be treated as parachute payments within the meaning
of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, except to the extent that, in the opinion of independent tax counsel
selected by ARAMARKs independent auditors and reasonably acceptable to Mr. Leonard (Tax Counsel), a Payment (in whole or in part) does not constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Code, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) are not subject to the Excise Tax, (2) the amount of the Payments that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount of
the Payments or (B) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (after applying clause (1) hereof), and (3) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by Tax Counsel in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Mr. Leonard shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal
rates of federal income taxation applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates of taxation applicable to individuals as are in effect in the
state and locality of Mr. Leonards residence or place of employment in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and
local taxes, taking into account any limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates.



(b) The Gross-Up Payments provided for in Section (a) hereof shall be made upon the imposition upon Mr. Leonard or payment by Mr. Leonard of any Excise
Tax.



(c) Mr. Leonard shall notify ARAMARK in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by ARAMARK of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after Mr. Leonard is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise ARAMARK of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Mr. Leonard shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30 day period following the date on which Mr.
Leonard gives such notice to ARAMARK (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If ARAMARK notifies Mr. Leonard in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to
contest such claim, Mr. Leonard shall:



---

i. give ARAMARK any information reasonably requested by ARAMARK relating to such claim;



ii. take such action in connection with contesting such claim as ARAMARK
shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by ARAMARK and reasonably satisfactory to Mr. Leonard;



iii. cooperate with ARAMARK in good faith in order to effectively contest
such claim; and



iv. permit ARAMARK to participate in any
proceedings relating to such claim;



provided, however, that
ARAMARK shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, additional interest and penalties and related legal, consulting or other similar fees) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold
Mr. Leonard harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.



(d) ARAMARK shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Mr. Leonard to pay the tax
claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Mr. Leonard agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
courts, as ARAMARK shall determine; provided, however, that if ARAMARK directs Mr. Leonard to pay such claim and sue for a refund, ARAMARK shall advance the amount of such payment to Mr. Leonard on an interest-free basis, and shall
indemnify and hold Mr. Leonard harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or other tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such
advance; and provided, further, that if Mr. Leonard is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable ARAMARK to contest such claim, Mr. Leonard may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. ARAMARKs control
of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Mr. Leonard shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority. In addition, no position may be taken nor any final resolution be agreed to by ARAMARK without Mr. Leonards consent if such position or resolution could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Mr. Leonard (including
any other tax position of Mr. Leonard unrelated to the matters covered hereby).



(e) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by ARAMARK or the Tax Counsel hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by ARAMARK should have been made (Underpayment), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that ARAMARK exhausts its remedies and Mr. Leonard thereafter is required to pay to the Internal
Revenue Service an additional amount in respect of any Excise Tax, the Tax



2



---

Counsel shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall promptly be paid
by ARAMARK to or for the benefit of Mr. Leonard.



(f) If, after
the receipt by Mr. Leonard of the Gross-Up Payment or an amount advanced by ARAMARK in connection with the contest of an Excise Tax claim, Mr. Leonard receives any refund with respect to such claim, Mr. Leonard shall promptly pay to ARAMARK the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Mr. Leonard of an amount advanced by ARAMARK in connection with an Excise Tax claim, a determination is made that
Mr. Leonard shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and ARAMARK does not notify Mr. Leonard in writing of its intent to contest the denial of such refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, such
advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid.
