Pursuant to a letter (the "Grant Letter") addressed and delivered to you from
G&K Services, Inc. (the "Company"), and subject to your acceptance in accordance
with paragraph 1 below, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the
Company's Board of Directors has granted you restricted shares of Class A Common

of the Plan is enclosed herewith. The terms of your Stock are governed by the
provisions of the Plan generally and the specific terms set forth below. Your
Grant Letter and this statement of terms are your Award Agreement under the
Plan. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms set forth
below and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern
and control.

1.   GRANT OF STOCK

     Subject to your acceptance in accordance with this paragraph 1, the Company
     grants you the aggregate number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant
     Letter, in accordance with the Plan. You may accept the Stock by logging
     into your account at http://www.melloninvestor.com and selecting the
     'Acknowledge Grant' button associated with your grant. Upon such
     acceptance, the Stock shall be issued of record in your name in
     "book-entry" form, without stock certificates, and shall be registered on
     the books of the Company maintained by the Company's transfer agent.

2.   RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEE

     Upon the acceptance and issuance of the Stock, you will become a
     shareholder with respect to the Stock and shall have all of the rights of a
     shareholder with respect to such Stock, including the right to vote such
     Stock and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with
     respect to such Stock; provided, however, that such Stock shall be subject
     to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 below.

3.   RESTRICTIONS

     You agree that at all times prior to the vesting of the Stock as
     contemplated by paragraph 4 below:

     a)   You will not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber
          the Stock; and

     b)   If your employment with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily
          terminated for any reason whatsoever, or you violate the terms of any
          confidentiality agreement, non-solicitation covenant or covenant not
          to compete, however delineated, subject to paragraph 4 below, you
          will, for no consideration, forfeit and transfer to the Company all
          shares of Stock that remain subject to the restrictions set forth in
          this paragraph 3.

     c)   Subject to the lapse of the restrictions set forth in subsections (a)
          and (b) of this paragraph 3, the Stock registered on the books of the
          Company maintained by the Company's transfer agent shall bear such
          restrictive notations and be subject to such stop transfer
          instructions as the Company shall deem necessary or appropriate in
          light of such restrictions.

4.   LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS

     The restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 above shall lapse on one-fifth of
     the Stock on the one year anniversary of the "Grant Date" set forth in the
     Grant Letter, and one-fifth of the Stock on each of the next four
     successive anniversaries of such date. Within 30 days after the date that
     the restrictions set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 3 have
     lapsed with respect to shares of Stock and such shares have become vested,
     free and clear of all restrictions, except as provided in the Plan, the
     Company shall instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive
     notations and stop transfer instructions placed on the Stock register in
     connection with such restrictions.

5.   COPY OF PLAN

     By the accepting the Stock, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan,
     the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated herein by
     reference and made a part hereof by reference as if set forth in full.

6.   ADMINISTRATION

     The agreement and understanding regarding the Stock shall at all times be
     subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee shall have
     the sole and complete discretion with respect to all matters reserved to it
     by the Plan and decisions of the Committee with respect thereto and to the
     terms set forth herein shall be final and binding upon you. In the event of
     any conflict between the provisions set forth herein and those set forth in
     the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and control.

7.   CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT

     The agreement and understanding regarding the Stock shall not confer upon
     you, and shall not be construed to confer upon you, any right to continue
     in the employ of the Company for any period of time, and shall not limit
     the rights of the Company in its sole discretion, to terminate your
     employment at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason,
     or to change your assignment or rate of compensation.

8.   WITHHOLDING OF TAX

     To the extent that the receipt of the Stock or the lapse of any
     restrictions thereon results in income to you for federal or state income
     tax purposes, you shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt
     or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money or shares of
     unrestricted Stock, as permitted by the Plan, as the Company may require to
     meet its withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations,
     and, if you fail to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any
     cash or Stock remuneration then or thereafter payable to you any tax
     required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income.

9.   SECTION 83(B) ELECTION

     You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your
     own federal, state, local or foreign tax liability and any of your other
     tax consequences that may arise as a result of the transactions
     contemplated herein. You shall rely solely on the determinations of your
     tax advisors or your own determinations, and not on any statements or
     representations by the Company or any of its agents, with regard to all
     such tax matters. You understand that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income the
     difference between the amount paid for the Stock and the fair market value
     of the Stock as of the date restrictions on the Stock


                                        2

     lapse. In this context, "restriction" includes, without limitation, the
     vesting restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 hereof. You understand that
     you may elect to be taxed at the time the shares of Stock are purchased
     rather than when and as the restrictions on the Stock lapse or expire by
     filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal
     Revenue Service within thirty (30) days from the Grant Date. In the event
     you file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, such election shall
     contain all information required under the applicable treasury
     regulation(s) and you shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company
     contemporaneously with filing such election with the Internal Revenue
     Service. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE
     COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, EVEN
     IF YOU REQUEST THAT THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES MAKE THIS FILING ON
     YOUR BEHALF.

10.  FURTHER ASSURANCES

     By accepting the Stock discussed herein, you will agree to execute such
     papers, agreements, assignments, or documents of title as may be necessary
     or desirable to effect the purposes described herein and carry out its
     provisions.

11.  GOVERNING LAW

     The agreement and understanding regarding the Stock, and its interpretation
     and effect, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota
     applicable to contracts executed and to be performed therein.

12.  AMENDMENTS

     The agreement and understanding regarding the Stock may be amended only by
     a written agreement executed by the Company and you.

     agreement signed by the party to be charged.
