                       AGREEMENT FOR PRESIDENTS' COUNCIL

                              ARAMARK CORPORATION

                     AGREEMENT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT AND

                          POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPETITION

This Agreement is between the undersigned individual ("Employee") and ARAMARK
CORPORATION ("ARAMARK").
                                    RECITALS

          WHEREAS, ARAMARK is a leading provider of managed services to business
and industry, private and public institutions, and the general public, in the
following business groups:  food and support services; uniform and career
apparel; and educational resources;

          WHEREAS, ARAMARK has a proprietary interest in its business and
financial plans and systems, methods of operation and other secret and
confidential information, knowledge and data ("Proprietary Information") which
includes, but is not limited to, all confidential, proprietary or non-public
information, ideas and concepts; annual and strategic business plans; financial
plans, reports and systems including, profit and loss statements, sales,
accounting forms and procedures and other information regarding costs, pricing
and the financial condition of ARAMARK and its business segments and groups;
management development reviews, including information regarding the capabilities
and experience of ARAMARK employees; intellectual property, including patents,
inventions, discoveries, research and development, compounds, recipes, formulae,
reports, protocols, computer software and databases; information regarding
ARAMARK's relationships with its clients, customers, and suppliers and
prospective clients, partners, customers and suppliers; policy and procedure
manuals, information regarding materials and documents in any form or medium
(including oral,

                                       1
<PAGE>

written, tangible, intangible, or electronic) concerning any of the above, or
any past, current or future business activities of ARAMARK that is not publicly
available; compensation, recruiting and training, and human resource policies
and procedures; and data compilations, research, reports, structures, compounds,
techniques, methods, processes, know-how;

          WHEREAS, all such Proprietary Information is developed at great
expense to ARAMARK and is considered by ARAMARK to be confidential trade
secrets;

          WHEREAS, Employee, as a senior manager, will have access to ARAMARK's
Proprietary Information, directly in the course of Employee's employment, and
indirectly through interaction with and presentations by other ARAMARK senior
managers at the Executive Leadership Institute, Executive Leadership Council
meetings, Presidents' Council meetings and the like;

          WHEREAS, ARAMARK will introduce Employee to ARAMARK clients,
customers, suppliers and others, and will encourage, and provide resources for,
Employee to develop personal relationships with ARAMARK's clients, customers,
suppliers and others;

          WHEREAS, ARAMARK has provided and will continue to provide specialized
training and skills to Employee in connection with the performance of Employee's
duties at ARAMARK which training involves the disclosure by ARAMARK to Employee
of Proprietary Information;

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the merger of ARAMARK with and into its wholly-
owned subsidiary, ARAMARK Worldwide Corporation, each share of Class B common
stock of ARAMARK held by Employee will be converted into two shares of Class A
common stock of the surviving corporation, which following the initial public
offering of the Class B common stock of the surviving corporation (collectively,
the "Transaction") and the expiration of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

applicable transfer restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation
of the surviving corporation will be freely tradeable (subject to restrictions
imposed by applicable securities laws) and no longer subject to the restrictions
of the Stockholders Agreement to which Employee currently is a party;

          WHEREAS, ARAMARK will be vulnerable to unfair post-employment
competition by Employee because Employee will have access to and knowledge of
ARAMARK's Proprietary Information, will have a personal relationship with
ARAMARK's clients, customers, suppliers and others, and will generate good will
which Employee acknowledges belongs to ARAMARK;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits received by Employee
in connection with the Transaction, the award of non-qualified stock options
under the ARAMARK 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, the severance and other post-
employment benefits provided for herein (including pursuant to Exhibit A
hereto), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee agrees to enter into this
Agreement with ARAMARK as a condition of employment pursuant to which ARAMARK
will limit Employee's right to compete against ARAMARK during and following
termination of employment on the terms set forth in this Agreement.  Intending
to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.  NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT:  Employee shall not, during or
after termination of employment, directly or indirectly, in any manner utilize
or disclose to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity,
except where required by law, any Proprietary Information which is not generally
known to the public, or has not otherwise

                                       3
<PAGE>

been disclosed or recognized as standard practice in the industries in which
ARAMARK is engaged. Employee shall, during and after termination of employment,
refrain from making any statements or comments of a defamatory or disparaging
nature to any third party regarding ARAMARK, or any of ARAMARK's officers,
directors, personnel, policies or products, other than to comply with law.

ARTICLE 2.  NON-COMPETITION:

A.  Subject to Article 2. B. below, Employee, during Employee's period of
    employment with ARAMARK, and for a period of two years following the
    voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, shall not, without
    ARAMARK's written permission, which shall be granted or denied in ARAMARK's
    sole discretion, directly or indirectly, associate with (including, but not
    limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner,
    principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee,
    member, consultant, contractor or otherwise), or acquire or maintain
    ownership interest in, any Business which is competitive with that conducted
    by or developed for later implementation by ARAMARK at any time during the
    term of Employee's employment, provided, however, if Employee's employment
    is (i) involuntarily terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than Cause
    (as defined herein), or (ii) terminated by Employee for Good Reason (as
    defined in Exhibit A) at any time following a Change of Control (as defined
    in Exhibit A), then the term of the non-competition provision set forth
    herein will be modified to be one year following such termination of
    employment. For purposes of this Agreement, "Business" shall be defined as a
    person, corporation, firm, LLC, partnership, joint venture or other entity.
    Nothing in the foregoing shall prevent Employee from investing in a Business
    that is or becomes publicly traded, if

                                       4
<PAGE>

    Employee's ownership is as a passive investor of less than 1% of the
    outstanding publicly traded stock of the Business.

B.  The provision set forth in Article 2.A above, shall apply to (i) all fifty
    states, and (ii) each foreign country, possession or territory in which
    ARAMARK may be engaged in, or have plans to engage in, business (x) during
    Employee's period of employment, or (y) in the case of a termination of
    employment, as of the effective date of such termination or at any time
    during the twenty-four month period prior thereto.

C.  Employee acknowledges that these restrictions are reasonable and necessary
    to protect the business interests of ARAMARK, and that enforcement of the
    provisions set forth in this Article 2 will not unnecessarily or
    unreasonably impair Employee's ability to obtain other employment following
    the termination (voluntary or involuntary) of Employee's employment with
    ARAMARK. Further, Employee acknowledges that the provisions set forth in
    this Article 2 shall apply if Employee's employment is involuntarily
    terminated by ARAMARK for Cause; as a result of the elimination of
    employee's position; for performance-related issues; or for any other reason
    or no reason at all.

ARTICLE 3.  NON-SOLICITATION: During the period of Employee's employment with
ARAMARK and for a period of two years following the termination of Employee's
employment, regardless of the reason for termination, Employee shall not,
directly or indirectly: (i) induce or encourage any employee of ARAMARK to leave
the employ of ARAMARK, (ii) hire any individual who was an employee of ARAMARK
as of the date of Employee's termination of employment or within a six month
period prior to such date, or (iii) induce or encourage any customer, client,
supplier or other business relation of ARAMARK to cease or reduce doing

                                       5
<PAGE>

business with ARAMARK or in any way interfere with the relationship between any
such customer, client, supplier or other business relation and ARAMARK.

ARTICLE 4.  DISCOVERIES AND WORKS: Employee hereby irrevocably assigns,
transfers, and conveys to ARAMARK to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law Employee's right, title and interest now or hereinafter acquired, in and to
all Discoveries and Works (as defined below) created, invented, designed,
developed, improved or contributed to by Employee, either alone or jointly with
others, while employed by ARAMARK and within the scope of Employee's employment
and/or with the use of ARAMARK's resources.  The terms "Discoveries and Works"
include all works of authorship, inventions, intellectual property, materials,
documents, or other work product (including, without limitation, Proprietary
Information, patents and patent applications, patentable inventions, research,
reports, software, code, databases, systems, applications, presentations,
textual works, graphics and audiovisual materials).  Employee shall have the
burden of proving that any materials or works created, invented, designed,
developed, contributed to or improved by Employee that are implicated by or
relevant to employment by ARAMARK are not implicated by this provision.
Employee agrees to (i) keep accurate records and promptly notify, make full
disclosure to, and execute and deliver any documents and to take any further
actions requested by ARAMARK to assist it in validating, effectuating,
maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or
registering any of its rights hereunder, and (ii) renounce any and all claims,
including, without limitation, claims of ownership and royalty, with respect to
all Discoveries and Works and all other property owned or licensed by ARAMARK.
Any Discoveries and Works that, within six months after the termination of
Employee's employment with ARAMARK, are made, disclosed, reduced to a tangible
or written form or description, or are reduced to practice by Employee and which
pertain

                                       6
<PAGE>

to the business carried on or products or services being sold or developed by
ARAMARK at the time of such termination shall, as between Employee and ARAMARK,
be presumed to have been made during such employment with ARAMARK. Employee
acknowledges that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all Discoveries and
Works shall be deemed "works made for hire" under the Copyright Act of 1976, as
amended, 17 U.S.C. Section 101. Employee hereby grants ARAMARK a perpetual,
nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable license under
all rights and intellectual property rights (including patent, industrial
property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related
laws) in any Works and Discoveries, for all purposes in connection with
ARAMARK's current and future business, that Employee has created, invented,
designed, developed, improved or contributed to prior to Employee's employment
with ARAMARK that are relevant to or implicated by such employment ("Prior
Works"). Any Prior Works are disclosed by Employee in Schedule 1.

ARTICLE 5.  REMEDIES:  Employee acknowledges that in the event of any violation
by Employee of the provisions set forth in Articles 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, ARAMARK
will sustain serious, irreparable and substantial harm to its business, the
extent of which will be difficult to determine and impossible to fully remedy by
an action at law for money damages.  Accordingly, Employee agrees that, in the
event of such violation or threatened violation by Employee, ARAMARK shall be
entitled to an injunction before trial before any court of competent
jurisdiction as a matter of course 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.  If ARAMARK is required to enforce the provisions set
forth in Articles 2 and 3 above by seeking an injunction, Employee agrees that
the relevant time periods set forth in Articles 2 and 3 shall commence with the
entry of the injunction.  Employee further agrees that, in the event any of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, or for any reason unenforceable as written, such court
shall substitute a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent
and purpose of the invalid provision and which would be enforceable to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE 6.  POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

A. If Employee's employment is terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than
   Cause, Employee shall be entitled to the following post-employment benefits:

   1.  SEVERANCE PAY: (a) Employee shall receive severance payments equivalent
       to Employee's weekly base salary as of the effective date of termination
       for the number of weeks set forth on the following schedule:

YEARS OF ARAMARK                 WEEKS OF SEVERANCE PAY
CONTINUOUS SERVICE
COMPLETED FROM LAST HIRE
DATE
---------------------------------------------------------------
Less than 2                      26
---------------------------------------------------------------
2                                32
---------------------------------------------------------------
3                                39
---------------------------------------------------------------
4                                45
---------------------------------------------------------------
5 or More                        52
---------------------------------------------------------------

       Severance payments shall commence with the Employee's effective date of
       termination and shall be made in accordance with ARAMARK's normal payroll
       cycle. The period during which Employee receives severance payments shall
       be referred to as the "Severance Pay Period."

                                       8
<PAGE>

       (b) In addition to the severance payments provided in Article 6.A.1(a)
       above, if Employee's employment is terminated involuntarily by ARAMARK
       for any reason other than Cause and before Employee is vested in any
       portion of the award of non-qualified stock options under the ARAMARK
       2001 Equity Incentive Plan referenced in the Preamble to this Agreement,
       Employee shall receive a lump sum cash severance payment equal to
       $10,000, payable as soon as practicable following termination of
       employment.

   2.  OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

       (a)  Basic Group medical and life insurance coverages shall continue
            under then prevailing terms during the Severance Pay Period;
            provided, however, that if Employee becomes employed by a new
            employer during that period, continuing coverage from ARAMARK will
            become secondary to any coverage afforded by the new employer.
            Employee's share of the premiums will be deducted from Employee's
            severance payments. Basic Group medical coverage provided during
            such period shall be applied against ARAMARK's obligation to
            continue group medical coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus
            Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"). Upon termination of
            basic group medical and life coverages, Employee may convert such
            coverages to individual policies to the extent allowable under the
            terms of the plans providing such coverages.

       (b)  Employee's leased vehicle shall be made available to Employee
            through the Severance Pay Period at which time Employee has the
            option to either

                                       9
<PAGE>

            purchase the vehicle in accordance with the Executive Leadership
            Council policy then in effect or return it to ARAMARK.

       (c)  Employee's eligibility to participate in all other benefit and
            compensation plans, including, but not limited to the Management
            Incentive Bonus, Long Term Disability, Stock Unit Retirement,
            Deferred Compensation and any stock option or ownership plans, shall
            terminate as of the effective date of Employee's termination unless
            provided otherwise under the terms of a particular plan, provided,
            however, that participation in plans and programs made available
            solely to Executive Leadership Council members, including, but not
            limited to the Executive Leadership Council Medical Plan, shall
            cease as of the effective date of termination or the date Employee's
            Executive Leadership Council membership ceases, whichever occurs
            first. Employee, however, shall have certain rights to continue the
            Executive Leadership Council Medical Plan under COBRA.

B.  Termination for "Cause" shall be defined as termination of employment due
    to: (i) conviction of or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a
    felony (or any similar crime for purposes of laws outside the United
    States), (ii) fraud or dishonesty, (iii) willful failure to perform assigned
    duties, (iv) willful violation of ARAMARK's Business Conduct Policy, or (v)
    intentionally working against the best interests of ARAMARK.

C.  If Employee is terminated by ARAMARK for reasons other than Cause, Employee
    will receive the severance payments and other post-employment benefits
    during the Severance Pay Period even if Employee commences other employment
    during such period provided such employment does not violate the terms of
    Article 2.

                                       10
<PAGE>

D.  In addition to the remedies set forth in Article 5, ARAMARK reserves the
    right to terminate all severance payments and other post-employment benefits
    if Employee violates the covenants set forth in Articles 1, 2, 3 or 4 above.

E.  Employee's receipt of severance and other post-employment benefits under
    this Agreement is contingent on (i) Employee's execution of a release in a
    form reasonably acceptable to ARAMARK, except that such release shall not
    include any claims by Employee to enforce Employee's rights under, or with
    respect to, this Agreement (including the attached Exhibit A) or any ARAMARK
    benefit plan pursuant to its terms, and (ii) the expiration of the
    applicable Age Discrimination in Employment Act revocation period without
    such release being revoked by Employee; provided, however, that this Article
    6.E no longer shall apply following a Change of Control (as defined in the
    attached Exhibit A); and provided further that this Article 6.E shall not
    apply with respect to the severance payments specified in Article 6.A.1(b).

ARTICLE 7.  TERM OF EMPLOYMENT:  Employee acknowledges that ARAMARK has the
right to terminate Employee's employment at any time for any reason whatsoever,
provided, however, that any termination by ARAMARK for reasons other than Cause
shall result in the severance and the post-employment benefits described in
Article 6 above, to become due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Employee further
acknowledges that the severance payments made and other benefits provided by
ARAMARK are in full satisfaction of any obligations ARAMARK may have resulting
from ARAMARK's exercise of its right to terminate Employee's employment, except
for those obligations which are intended to survive termination such as the
payments to be made pursuant to retirement plans, deferred compensation plans
and conversion of insurance.

                                       11
<PAGE>

ARTICLE 8.  MISCELLANEOUS:

A.  As used throughout this Agreement, ARAMARK includes ARAMARK Corporation
    (which shall include ARAMARK Worldwide Corporation, as its successor in the
    merger described above) and its subsidiaries and affiliates or any
    corporation, joint venture, or other entity in which ARAMARK Corporation or
    its subsidiaries or affiliates has an equity interest in excess of ten
    percent (10%).

B.  This Agreement shall supersede and substitute for any previous post-
    employment or severance agreement between Employee and ARAMARK.

C.  In the event of a Change of Control as defined in the attached Exhibit A,
    the provisions of Exhibit A shall apply to Employee.

D.  If Employee's employment with ARAMARK terminates solely by reason of a
    transfer of stock or assets of, or a merger or other disposition of, a
    subsidiary of ARAMARK (whether direct or indirect), such termination shall
    not be deemed a termination of employment by ARAMARK for purposes of this
    Agreement, provided that ARAMARK requires the subsequent employer, by
    agreement, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
    same manner and to the same extent that ARAMARK would be required to perform
    it if no such transaction had taken place.

E.  Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any
    payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or
    otherwise.

F.  In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or
    become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
    legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
    shall not be affected thereby.

                                       12
<PAGE>

G.  The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
    Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of laws principles
    thereof. For purposes of any action or proceeding, Employee irrevocably
    submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Pennsylvania and
    the courts of the United States of America located in Pennsylvania for the
    purpose of any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to this
    Agreement, and acknowledges that the designated fora have a reasonable
    relation to the Agreement and to the parties' relationship with one another.
    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 8.G, ARAMARK may, in its
    discretion, bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent
    jurisdiction for the purpose of seeking temporary or preliminary relief
    pending resolution of a dispute.

H.  Employee expressly consents to the application of Article 8.G to any
    judicial action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
    ARAMARK shall have the right to serve legal process upon Employee in any
    manner permitted by law. In addition, Employee irrevocably appoints the
    General Counsel of ARAMARK Corporation (or any successor) as Employee's
    agent for service of legal process in connection with any such action or
    proceeding and Employee agrees that service of legal process upon such
    agent, who shall promptly advise Employee of any such service of legal
    process at the address of Employee then in the records of ARAMARK, shall be
    deemed in every respect effective service of legal process upon Employee in
    any such action or proceeding.

I.  Employee hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
    any objection that Employee now or hereafter may have to personal
    jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding brought
    in any court referenced in Article 8.G and hereby agrees not to plead or
    claim the same.

                                       13
<PAGE>

J.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, ARAMARK may, to the
    extent required by law, withhold applicable federal, state and local income
    and other taxes from any payments due to Employee hereunder.

K.  Employee and ARAMARK acknowledge that for purposes of Article 6, Employee's
    last hire date with ARAMARK is [_______________].

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto have
caused this Agreement to be signed.

                                   EXHIBIT A

                       TERMINATION PROTECTION PROVISIONS


          THIS is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, the ARAMARK Corporation
Agreement Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition between
_________________ (the "Executive") and ARAMARK Corporation.

1.  Defined Terms.

    Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Exhibit which are
defined in Schedule A shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule A.

2.  Effective Date; Term.

    This Exhibit shall be effective as of ___________, 2001 (the "Effective
Date") and shall remain in effect until _______________, 2004 (the "Term");
provided, however, that commencing with _________________, 2002 and on each
anniversary thereof (each an "Extension Date"), the Term shall be automatically
extended for an additional one-year period, unless the Company or Executive
provides the other party hereto written notice before the applicable Extension
Date that the Term shall not be so extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Exhibit shall, if in effect on the date of a Change of Control, remain in effect
until the later of three years following the Change of Control and the date that
all of the Company's obligations under this Exhibit have been satisfied in full.

3.  Change of Control Benefits.

    If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated at any time
within the three years following a Change of Control by the Company without
Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason (the effective date of either such
termination hereafter referred to as the "Termination Date"), Executive shall be
entitled to the payments and benefits provided hereafter in this Section 3 and
as set forth in this Exhibit.  If Executive's employment by the Company is
terminated prior to a Change of Control by the Company (i) at the request of a
party (other than the Company) involved in the Change of Control or (ii)
otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control that
subsequently occurs, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided
hereafter in this Section 3 and as set forth in this Exhibit, and Executive's
Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the
Change of Control.  Payment of benefits under this Exhibit shall be in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any benefits payable under the ARAMARK Corporation
Agreement Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition of which this
Exhibit is a part, except as provided in Section 3(b) hereof.  Notice of
termination without Cause or for Good Reason shall be given in accordance with
Section 13, and shall indicate the specific termination provision hereunder

a.  Severance Payments.  The Company shall pay Executive cash benefits equal to:

    (1)  two times Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of the Change
         of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is higher; provided that
         if any reduction of the Base Salary has occurred, then the Base Salary
         on either date shall be as in effect immediately prior to such
         reduction, payable in regular installments at such times as would
         otherwise be the Company's usual payroll practice over a period of two
         years; and

    (2)  the higher of: (A) two times Executive's Target Bonus in effect on the
         date of the Change of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is
         greater; or (B) two times Executive's most recent actual annual bonus,
         payable in either case ratably in regular installments at the same time
         as payments are made to Executive under Section 3(a)(1) above; provided
         that if any reduction of the Target Bonus has occurred, then the Target
         Bonus on either date shall be as in effect immediately prior to such
         reduction; and

    (3)  Executive's Target Bonus (as determined in (2), above) multiplied by a
         fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days
         Executive was employed by the Company in the Company fiscal year in
         which the Termination Date occurs and the denominator of which shall
         equal 365, payable as a cash lump sum within forty days after the
         Termination Date; and

    (4)  in the case of a termination of employment by Executive for Good
         Reason, an amount equal to the severance pay specified in Article
         6.A.1. of the attached Presidents' Council Agreement (as defined in
         Section 8 hereof), payable according to the schedule set forth therein,
         determined as if Executive's employment had been terminated by ARAMARK
         without Cause on the Termination Date.

b.  Continuation of Benefits. Until the second anniversary of the Termination
    Date, the Company shall, at its expense, provide Executive and Executive's
    spouse and dependents with medical, life insurance and disability coverages
    at the level provided to Executive immediately prior to the Change of
    Control; provided, however, that if Executive becomes employed by a new
    employer, continuing coverage from the Company will become secondary to any
    coverage afforded by the new employer. In the event benefits are continued
    under this Section 3(b), such continued benefits shall be in lieu of those
    specified in Article 6.A.2.a of the attached Presidents' Council Agreement
    (as defined in Section 8 hereof).

                                                                             A-3

     c.  Payment of Earned But Unpaid Amounts. Within forty days after the
         Termination Date, the Company shall pay Executive the Base Salary
         through the Termination Date, any Bonus earned but unpaid as of the
         Termination Date for any previously completed fiscal year of the
         Company, all compensation previously deferred by Executive but not yet
         paid and reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses properly incurred
         by Executive in accordance with Company policies prior to the
         Termination Date. Executive shall also receive such employee benefits,
         if any, to which Executive may be entitled from time to time under the
         employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, policies or programs of the
         Company, other than any Company severance policy (payments and benefits
         in this subsection (c), the "Accrued Benefits").

    d.  Outplacement Counseling. For the two-year period following the
        Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date Executive first obtains full-
        time employment after the Termination Date), the Company shall reimburse
        all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive for professional
        outplacement services by qualified consultants selected by Executive, in
        an amount not to exceed 20% of the Executive's Base Salary in effect on
        the date of the Change of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is
        higher.

    e.  Vesting of Other Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to such
        accelerated vesting of outstanding equity-based awards or retirement
        plan benefits as is specified under the terms of the applicable plans,
        agreements and arrangements.

4.  Mitigation.

    Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of
any payment provided for under this Exhibit by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and, subject to Section 3(b), compensation earned from such
employment or otherwise shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable under
this Exhibit.  No amounts payable under this Exhibit shall be subject to
reduction or offset in respect of any claims which the Company (or any other
person or entity) may have against Executive.

5.  Gross-Up.

    a.  In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or
        distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company, any of its
        affiliates, or one or more trusts established by the Company for the
        benefit of its employees, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether
        paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
        this Exhibit, or otherwise) (a "Payment") is subject to the excise tax
        imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are
        incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
        together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively
        referred to as the "Excise Tax"), Executive shall be entitled to receive
        an additional payment (a "Gross-Up
<PAGE>

                                                                             A-4

        Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes
        (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
        taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any
        interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax
        imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the
        Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

    b.  All determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including
        whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
        Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
        determination, shall be made by such nationally recognized certified
        public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the
        "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations
        both to the Company and Executive within ten business days of the
        receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such
        earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided that for purposes
        of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be
        deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates
        applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-
        Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes
        at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or
        locality of Executive's residence or place of employment in the calendar
        year in which any such 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 limitations
        applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest
        marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be
        borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined
        pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to Executive
        (or to the appropriate taxing authority on Executive's behalf) when due.
        If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by
        Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing. Any
        determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company
        and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
        Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up
        Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of)
        Executive was lower than the amount actually due ("Underpayment"). In
        the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section
        5(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any
        Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
        Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
        promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive.

    c.  Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
        Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment
        by the Company of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given
        as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after
        Executive is
<PAGE>

                                                                             A-5

        informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the
        nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
        paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
        thirty day period following the date on which it gives such notice to
        the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment
        of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies
        Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it
        desires to contest such claim, Executive shall (i) give the Company any
        information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
        (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
        Company 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 the Company,
        (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively
        contest such claim and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any
        proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company
        shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional
        interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and
        shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for
        any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with
        respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment
        of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of
        this Section 5(c), the Company 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 Executive to pay the tax claimed and
        sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and
        Executive 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 the Company shall determine; provided,
        further, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue
        for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to
        Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold
        Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income
        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; provided, further, that if Executive is
        required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company to
        contest such claim, Executive may limit this extension solely to such
        contested amount. The Company's control of the contest shall be limited
        to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable
        hereunder and Executive 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.

    d.  If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount paid or advanced by the
        Company pursuant to this Section 5, Executive becomes entitled to
        receive

<PAGE>

                                                                             A-6

        any refund with respect to a Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall (subject
        to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 5(c))
        promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund received (together
        with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable
        thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by
        the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), a determination is made that
        Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim
        and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to
        contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days
        after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall
        not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall
        offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment
        required to be paid.

6.  Termination for Cause.

    Nothing in this Exhibit shall be construed to prevent the Company from
terminating Executive's employment for Cause.  If Executive is terminated for
Cause, the Company shall have no obligation to make any payments under this
Exhibit, except for the Accrued Benefits.

7.  Indemnification; Director's and Officer's Liability Insurance.

    Executive shall, after the Termination Date, retain all rights to
indemnification under applicable law or under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws, as they may be amended or restated from time to time.
In addition, the Company shall maintain Director's and Officer's liability
insurance on behalf of Executive, at the level in effect immediately prior to
the Termination Date, for the three year period following the Termination Date,
and throughout the period of any applicable statute of limitations.

8.  Executive Covenants.

    This is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, an agreement with the
Company relating to employment and post-employment competition (the "Presidents'
Council Agreement").  This Exhibit shall not diminish in any way Executive's
rights under the terms of such Presidents' Council Agreement, except that
Executive's receipt of benefits under this Exhibit is contingent upon
Executive's compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and
conditions of the Presidents' Council Agreement.

9.  Costs of Proceedings.

    Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with any
legal proceeding (including arbitration), relating to the interpretation or
enforcement of any provision of this Exhibit, except that the Company shall pay
such costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, of
Executive if Executive prevails in such proceeding.

    Except as otherwise provided herein, this Exhibit shall be binding upon,

require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company, by agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform
this Exhibit in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of
this Section 10 shall continue to apply to each subsequent employer of Executive
hereunder in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation or transfer of
assets of such subsequent employer.

11.  Withholding.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit, the Company may,
to the extent required by law, withhold applicable federal, state and local
income and other taxes from any payments due to Executive hereunder.

12.  Applicable Law.

     This Exhibit shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of laws
principles thereof.

    This Exhibit constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and,
except as expressly provided herein, supersedes all other prior agreements
expressly concerning the effect of a Change of Control on the relationship
between the Company and Executive.  This Exhibit is not, and nothing herein
shall be deemed to create, a contract of employment between the Company and

the Company and Executive.

15.  Severability.
