 FORM OF NON QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
[            ][    ], 20[11][12] between ARAMARK HOLDINGS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee set forth on the
Certificate of Grant and signature page to this Agreement (the “Optionee”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) made and entered into as of the 8th day of August, 2006, by and among RMK Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MergerCo”), RMK Finance LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, and Aramark Corporation, MergerCo has been merged with and into Aramark Corporation, with Aramark Corporation surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”);

 WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Committee (as such term is defined in the Plan) or a subcommittee thereof, has
agreed to grant to the Optionee, as of the Date of Grant set forth on the Certificate of Grant to which this Agreement is attached (the “Grant Date”), an option under the Aramark Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive
Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan; and 

WHEREAS, the Optionee is, in connection with the execution of this Agreement, to become a party to the Stockholders Agreement (as such
term is defined in the Plan). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual agreements contained in this
Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. The Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan
are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in their entirety. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Agreement shall control. A copy of the Plan has been
provided to the Optionee. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan or the Stockholders Agreement, as the case may be. 

Section 2. Option; Option Price. Effective on the Grant Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the Certificate of Grant to which this agreement is attached, at the Option Price equal to $ [the most
recent quarterly appraisal price of one share of Common Stock]. One-half of the Option consists of options with time-based vesting (“Time-Based Options”), and one-half of the Option consists of options with performance-based vesting
(“Performance-Based Options”). The payment of the Option Price may be made, at the election of the Optionee, in any manner authorized under Section 5.5 of the Plan as such section is in effect on the date of this
Agreement. The Option is not intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 3. Term. The term of the Option (the “Option Term”) shall commence on the Grant Date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless the Option shall


  
 2 







 
have sooner been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, Article V of the Plan) or this Agreement. 

Section 4. Vesting. Subject to the Optionee’s not having a Termination of Relationship and except as otherwise set forth
in Section 7 the Options shall become non-forfeitable and exercisable (any Options that shall have become non-forfeitable and exercisable pursuant to Section 4 the “Vested Options”) according to the following provisions: 

(a) Time-Based Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Time-Based Options shall become Vested Options on each of the first four anniversaries of the [Grant Date][Other Date Specified by Board or Committee or
Sub-Committee] (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date. 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(a)(i) in the event of (A) a Change of Control, each outstanding Time-Based Option
which has not theretofore become a Vested Option pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall become a Vested Option concurrently with consummation of such event, and (B) a Termination of Relationship as a result of the Optionee’s death,
Disability, or Retirement (each, a “Special Termination”), the installment of Time-Based Options scheduled to vest during the 12-month period immediately following such Special Termination shall become Vested Options, and the
remaining Time-Based Options which are not then Vested Options shall be forfeited. 
 (b) Performance-Based
Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options
on each Vesting Date, subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date and the achievement of the applicable EBIT performance target for the applicable fiscal year of the Company relating to
the applicable Vesting Date (each such fiscal year, a “Fiscal Year”, and each such EBIT performance target, once so established, an “EBIT Target”); provided that for each Fiscal Year set forth on Schedule 1
to this Agreement, the Committee shall establish an EBIT Target within the first ninety days of each such Fiscal Year and communicate such EBIT Target to the Optionee promptly following such time through the delivery of an updated Schedule 1 to this
Agreement. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(b)(i) but, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(ii)(E)
below, subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting event: 
 (A) in the event that the EBIT Target is not achieved for any particular Fiscal Year set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (other than the Final Fiscal Year as defined on Schedule 1) (any such Fiscal
Year, a “Missed Year”), if the cumulative EBIT 

  
 3 







 
earned as of the end of any subsequent Fiscal Year equals or exceeds the Cumulative EBIT Target (as determined by the Committee at the same time that each EBIT Target for each such subsequent
Fiscal Year is established and as set forth on the relevant updated Schedule 1 to this Agreement) for such subsequent Fiscal Year (any such Fiscal Year, a “Catch-up Year”), then all installments of Performance-Based Options that did
not become vested in respect of any Missed Year will nevertheless become Vested Options on the same date that the installment of Performance-Based Options that otherwise vests in respect of such Catch-up Year pursuant to this Section 4(b) (see the
attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); 
 (B) upon the consummation of a Return-Based Vesting Event (as
defined below), all then-unvested Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options concurrently with the consummation of such event; 
 (C) upon the consummation of a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event (as defined below), a portion of the then-unvested Performance-Based Options (in the order set forth below) shall become Vested Options
concurrently with the consummation of such event, such that the total percentage of Performance-Based Options that have become Vested Options immediately after the consummation of such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event shall, after taking into
account any Performance-Based Options that had become Vested Options pursuant to any other provision of Section 4(b) prior to such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event, be equal to the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage (as defined below) (see the
attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); 
 (D) upon the occurrence, prior to the conclusion of the Final
Fiscal Year, of a Change of Control that is not a Return-Based Vesting Event, a percentage of the then-unvested Performance-Based Options which would have been eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year during which the
Change in Control occurs and those eligible for any subsequent Fiscal Years, equal to (x) 100% multiplied by (y) a quotient, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Performance-Based Options that previously became Vested Options
prior to the Fiscal Year in which such Change of Control occurs, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Performance-Based Options that were eligible to become Vested Options if all EBIT Targets were achieved prior to the Fiscal Year
during with the Change in Control occurs, shall become Vested Options concurrently with consummation of such a Change of Control (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); and 

(E) in the event of a Special Termination, all installments of unvested Performance-Based Options that would have vested
during the 12-month period immediately following such Special Termination (the “Special Termination Vesting Period”) in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 4(b) if no such termination had occurred during such period
(including in the event that any such installments would have vested based on (x) the achievement of the Cumulative EBIT Target for the Fiscal Year immediately following the Fiscal Year in which the Special Termination occurs in accordance with
Section 4(b)(ii)(A) or (y) the occurrence during the Special Termination Vesting Period of a Return-Based Vesting Event, a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event or a Change of Control that is


  
 4 







 
not a Return-Based Vesting Event, in accordance with Section 4(b)(ii)(B), Section 4(b)(ii)(C) or Section 4(b)(ii)(D), respectively) shall become Vested Options on the applicable Vesting Date(s)
that occur during the Special Termination Vesting Period (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof). 
 For purposes of
Section 4(b)(ii)(C) above, the then-unvested Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options in the manner set forth therein, in the following order, to the extent applicable: first, any then-unvested Performance-Based Options from any prior
Missed Years (beginning with the earliest Missed Year and each subsequent Missed Year); second, the then-unvested Performance-Based Options eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year in which the Qualified Partial Liquidity
Event occurs; and third, any then-unvested Performance-Based Options eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year immediately subsequent to the Fiscal Year in which the Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs and each
subsequent Fiscal Year. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided above with respect to a Special Termination, upon a Termination of
Relationship for any reason, the unvested portion of the Option (i.e. , that portion which does not constitute Vested Options) shall terminate and cease to be outstanding on the date the Termination of Relationship occurs and shall no longer be
eligible to become Vested Options, provided, however, that if upon the date the Termination of Relationship occurs, the Committee is unable to determine if the EBIT Target for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the year in which the Termination
of Relationship occurs has been met, any unvested portion of the Option that could vest based upon such determination shall not terminate until such determination is made (and shall vest if the applicable EBIT Target is achieved in accordance with
Section 4(b)(ii) above)). 
 (d) Certain Definitions. 

(i) A “Return-Based Vesting Event” shall be deemed to occur upon the achievement of either of the
following performance goals: (x) on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) is equal to or exceeds 15% or (y) the Sponsor
Stockholders have, prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, received a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the Sponsor Investment.

 (ii) A “Qualified Partial Liquidity Event” shall mean any disposition, whether in an IPO or
other public offering, or any sale or other private transaction to any person or entity, of a portion of the Sponsor Investment (including any Change of Control, transfer from one Investor Group to another Investor Group, or LP Transfer (as defined
below), but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Spin-off, unless and until such shares are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities), or a recapitalization, resulting in (x) on
or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the achievement by the Sponsor Stockholders of a Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) that would equal or exceed 15%, or (y) prior
to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, 

  
 5 







 
the receipt of a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the Sponsor Investment, in either case,
when measured with respect to such disposed or otherwise realized upon portion (and all previously liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized (in cash or marketable securities, taking into account Section 4(d)(vi) upon portions) of the Sponsor
Investment. 
 (iii) The “Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage” shall equal the percentage of
the Sponsor Investment liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized upon in a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event; provided that, if immediately following such event, the Sponsor Stockholders have liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized upon
80% or more of the Sponsor Investment, then the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage shall equal 100%. 
 (iv)
“Sponsor IRR” means the pretax compounded annual internal rate of return realized by the Sponsor Stockholders on the Sponsor Investment, based on the aggregate amount invested by the Sponsor Stockholders for all Sponsor Investment
and the aggregate value and amount of cash and liquid or marketable debt or equity securities (excluding securities of the Company and, in the event of a Spin-off, securities of a Subsidiary (“Subsidiary Stock”), unless and until
such shares are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities) actually received by the Sponsor Stockholders or in respect of all Sponsor Investment, assuming all Sponsor Investment were
purchased by one Person and were held continuously by such Person. The Sponsor IRR shall be determined based on the actual time of each Sponsor Investment and the actual cash and liquid or marketable debt or equity securities received (in each case,
measured at the time of receipt) by the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all Sponsor Investment and including, as a return on each Sponsor Investment, any cash dividends, cash distributions or cash sales by the Company or any Affiliate in respect
of such Sponsor Investment during such period, any transaction fees received in connection with the Transaction, and, in the event of any distribution of Shares by a Sponsor Stockholder to its general or limited partners, members, managers or
stockholders (in each such case, other than a distribution by a Sponsor Stockholder to another member of such Sponsor Stockholder’s Investor Group) in accordance with such Sponsor Stockholder’s governing documents (an “LP
Transfer”), the Fair Market Value of such Shares on such distribution date (the “LP Transfer Value”), but excluding any amounts payable to the Sponsor Stockholders as expense reimbursements and indemnification payments.

 (v) “Sponsor Return” shall mean, on an aggregate basis, the value and amount of cash and
liquid or marketable equity or debt securities (excluding securities of the Company or, in the event of a Spin-off, Subsidiary Stock, unless and until such Subsidiary Stock are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or
marketable equity or debt securities) actually received by the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all Sponsor Investment, assuming all Sponsor Investment were purchased by one Person and were held continuously by such Person. The Sponsor Return
shall be determined based on the actual time of each Sponsor Investment and actual cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities received (in each case, measured at the time of receipt) by the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all
Sponsor Investment and 

  
 6 







 
including, as a return on each Sponsor Investment, any cash dividends, cash distributions, cash sales made by the Company or any Affiliate in respect of such Sponsor Investment during such
period, any transaction fees received in connection with the Transaction, and, in the event of an LP Transfer, the LP Transfer Value, but excluding any amounts payable to the Sponsor Stockholders as expense reimbursements and indemnification
payments. 
 (vi) In the event of a Special Termination, the term “Special Termination Sponsor
IRR” shall have the same meaning as “Sponsor IRR”, except that the Sponsor IRR shall also be determined by including in such calculation the following, as of the date of such termination: (x) if no IPO has occurred at such
time, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and the fair market value (determined in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Fair Market Value is determined under the Plan) of any Subsidiary Stock then held by the Sponsor Stockholders;
or (y) following an IPO, the fair market value of each of the Common Stock and any Subsidiary Stock then held by the Sponsor Stockholders, calculated based on the average trading price of the applicable stock over the 30 trading-day period
prior to the applicable potential Vesting Date (the amounts in clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the “Special Termination Valuations”); and the term “Special Termination Sponsor Return” shall have the same
meaning as “Sponsor Return”, except that the Sponsor Return shall also be determined by including in such calculation the Special Termination Valuations. 
 All decisions by the Committee with respect to any calculations pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made in good faith after consultation with senior management and shall be final and binding on the
Optionee absent manifest error by the Committee.

 Section 5. Restriction on Transfer/Stockholders Agreement. The Option may not be
transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Optionee, except (i) if permitted by the Board or the Committee, (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (iii) pursuant to
beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. The Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Options hereunder will be subject to the
Stockholders Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement shall be null and void and without effect. 

Section 6. Optionee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in their sole discretion, to terminate the Optionee’s employment or to increase or decrease the
Optionee’s compensation at any time. 
 Section 7. Termination. The Option shall automatically terminate and

 (a) so long as the
Optionee remains employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates, the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date; 
 (b) in the case
of a Termination of Relationship due to a Special Termination, (i) with respect to any Time-Based Options and Performance-Based Options that are vested as of the Termination of Relationship, the first anniversary of the Termination of
Relationship, and (ii) with respect to any Performance-Based Option that becomes a Vested Option pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(E), the later of the first anniversary of the Termination of Relationship and the 90th day following the last
Vesting Date (if any) that occurs during the Special Termination Vesting Period; 
 (c) in the case of a Termination of
Relationship other than (x) for Cause or (y) due to a Special Termination, the 90th day following the Termination of Relationship; and 
 (d) the day of the Termination of Relationship in the case of a Termination of Relationship for Cause. 
 Section 8. Securities Law Representations. The Optionee acknowledges that, unless and until the Option and the Shares are registered under the Securities Act on a Form S-8, the Option and the
Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, based, in part, on either (i) reliance upon an exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact
that the Optionee is an “accredited investor”(as defined under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated there under), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under
applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby agrees that the Optionee shall make such representations as may be required to be made by the Optionee upon any acquisition
of Shares hereunder as set 

  
 8 







 
forth in the Stockholders Agreement, as such representations, if any, shall be required to be made at such time. The Optionee further represents the following, as of the date hereof: 

The Optionee represents and warrants that (i) such party has full legal power, authority and right to execute and deliver, and to
perform its obligations under, this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with
its terms. 
  

	 	•	 	 The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Option and the
restrictions imposed on any Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option. 


  

	 	•	 	 The Optionee is aware that the Option may be of no practical value, that any value it may have depends on its vesting and exercisability as well as an
increase in the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment in common shares of a closely held corporation such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could require
capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss. 


  

	 	•	 	 The Optionee has read and understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement.



  

	 	•	 	 The Optionee has not relied upon any oral representation made to the Optionee relating to the Option or the purchase of the Shares on exercise of the
Option or upon information presented in any meeting or material relating to the Option or the Shares. 


  

	 	•	 	 The Optionee understands and acknowledges that, if and when the Optionee exercises the Option, (a) any certificate evidencing the Shares (or
evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and
state securities laws, and (b) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or under the Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the Company has no obligation to
register the Shares or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws.

 10 








 Section 12. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement must be in writing and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 
 Section 13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 

Section 14. Withholding. As a condition to exercising this Option in whole or in part, the Optionee will pay, or make

Section 15. Adjustment to Option; Registration of Shares. In the event of any event described in Article VII of the Plan

Option by filing a Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. 
 Section 16. Section 409A of the
Code. If any term, distribution or settlement of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company (including by the Committee) pursuant to the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, would subject the Optionee to tax under Section 409A of
the Code, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Optionee for any taxes, interest and penalties the Optionee may incur under Section 409A of the Code as a result thereof, such that on a net-after-tax basis, the Optionee shall not be
liable for any such taxes, interest or penalties, or for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed upon the Company’s provision of such indemnity. The Company and the Optionee shall cooperate in good faith, and consult with tax counsel to the
Company, to restructure the Option and this Agreement (which may require the provision of an alternative payment or benefit, but which shall not convey an economic benefit to the Optionee that is diminished in value to the Optionee other than in a
de minims manner) in a manner that will cause the Optionee to not be subject to such taxes, interest and penalties in respect of the Option and this Agreement (or any such restructured arrangement). 

Section 17. Modification of Rights; Entire Agreement. The Optionee’s rights under this Agreement and the Plan may be
modified only to the extent expressly provided under this Agreement or under Article X or Article XIV of the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan (and the other writings referred to herein, including the Stockholders Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior written or oral negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect thereto.

 Section 18. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that
the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 19. Waiver of Jury Trial; Legal Fees. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder or under any other agreement regarding any option to purchase Shares that may be granted to the Optionee under the Plan after the date of
this Agreement. In the event of any dispute regarding any term of this Option, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Optionee for all legal fees and expenses the Optionee incurs in connection with such dispute if the Optionee prevails in such
dispute on a substantial portion of the claims under such dispute. 
 Section 20. FORFEITURE IF AGREEMENT NOT EXECUTED
IN 90 DAYS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OPTION SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE AND SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID AND BE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT, AND THE OPTIONEE SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE OPTIONEE DOES NOT RETURN
AN EXECUTED COUNTERPART TO THIS AGREEMENT TO THE COMPANY WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE GRANT DATE. 
 Section 21.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

EBIT Targets 
  

									
	 Year
	  	Annual
EBIT Target	 	  	Cumulative
EBIT 
Target	 
	 First Fiscal Year
	  	$	10.00	  	  	 	N/A

 Section 4(b)(ii)(A)

 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $8.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest. 

Second Fiscal Year: Annual EBIT is $16.00, Cumulative EBIT is $24.00. Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest because annual EBIT Target
is achieved, Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year do not vest because Cumulative EBIT Target is not achieved. 
 Third Fiscal
Year: Annual EBIT is $25.00, Cumulative EBIT is $49.00. Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year vest because annual EBIT is achieved; Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year also vest because Cumulative EBIT Target is
achieved. 
 Section 4(b)(ii)(C) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $12.00. Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest (i.e., 25% of all Performance-Based Options are vested). 

Second Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest (i.e., Optionee is still only vested in 25% of all
Performance-Based Options). 
 Third Fiscal Year: A Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs where the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage
is 75%. Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest and, whether or not either of the EBIT Targets for Third Fiscal Year is achieved, the Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year will also vest, such that the Optionee will be 75%
vested in all Performance-Based Options. 
 Section 4(b)(ii)(D) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $16.00. Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest (i.e., 100% of all Performance-Based Options that were eligible to vest in First Fiscal Year are vested).


  
 16 








 Second Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest (i.e.,
Optionee is only 50% vested in all Performance-Based Options that were eligible to vest in First Fiscal Year and Second Fiscal Year combined). 
 Third Fiscal Year: A Change of Control that is not a Return-Based Vesting Event occurs. 50% of the Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year and Fourth Fiscal Year will become vested.

 Section 4(b)(ii)(B) and (E) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $8.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest. 

Second Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year or Second Fiscal Year vest. 

January of Third Fiscal Year: Optionee’s employment terminates due to Retirement. 
 August of Third Fiscal Year: A Return-Based Vesting Event occurs. All Performance-Based Options (for First Fiscal Year through Fourth Fiscal Year) vest, even though the event occurs after the
Optionee’s employment terminates, because the event occurs within 12 months after the termination of employment.
