shall be made by filing an Approved Form for that purpose in accordance with the Rules. A Participant who previously had participated in the Prior Plan shall be deemed to have designated the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Prior Plan as his or
her beneficiary under this Plan unless and until such Participant shall have made a subsequent designation of a beneficiary. A Participant may also revoke or change a beneficiary designation at any time by filing an Approved Form in accordance with

 3.1 Salary Deferrals. 
 (a) Salary Deferrals. Under an election procedure established by the Committee, each Eligible Employee who is participating in the Plan may direct the Company to defer a percentage of the Eligible
Employee’s Compensation. The amount of the Salary Deferrals under this Section for an Eligible Employee shall be at least 1% of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the period to which the election applies, and may, in multiples of 1%,
be up to 25% (or such higher percentage as the Parent Company may select from time to time) of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation. 
 (b) Notice to Plan Administrative Committee. An Eligible Employee who wishes to defer Compensation under this Section for any period shall, in the manner specified in the Rules, so notify the Plan
Administrative Committee and authorize the Committee to reduce the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for such period by the amount of the Eligible Employee’s Salary Deferral Percentage election provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 2.2(a) such Eligible Employee’s election to defer such Compensation must be made not later than the close of the preceding calendar year, unless the Eligible Employee first becomes a participant pursuant to Section 2.2(b), in
which case such Eligible Employee must make an election to defer any as yet unearned Compensation at any time prior to the 30th day after the date such Eligible Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. 

3.2 Change in Contributions. A Participant is not permitted to stop, increase, decrease or resume the Participant’s Salary Deferral
Percentage(s) during the calendar year, unless the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service or the Participant is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan, in which case the Participant’s Salary Deferrals will immediately cease
(to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code). 
 ARTICLE IV. Matching Contributions. 

4.1 Amount of Contributions. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of each Plan Year, the Parent Company may make a

Contributions Account shall accrue interest in the manner specified by the Committee in accordance with the Rules.

Withdrawals. If a distribution or withdrawal is made, the payment determination date shall be the last day of the month (or such shorter period as is specified by the Plan Administrative Committee in accordance with the Rules) in which the

Participant’s Matching Contributions Account, which shall be forfeited, in accordance with Section 6.5. 
 6.4 Separation from
Service for Cause. A Participant who ceases to be an Employee receiving credit for three or more Years of Service and whose Separation from Service is on account of “cause,” i.e., commission of a crime or other conduct which

Participant’s entire Account Balance other than the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account, which shall be forfeited, in accordance with Section 6.5. The determination of

employment is due to the employee’s death. 

 ARTICLE VII. Withdrawals During Employment. 

7.1 Withdrawal of Salary Deferral Account. A Participant may make withdrawals from the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account solely due
to the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency if approved by the Plan Administrative Committee in its sole discretion, to the extent such withdrawal is permitted under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code. The Participant shall certify in
writing to the Plan Administrative Committee that the purpose of the withdrawal is due to an Unforeseeable Emergency and shall provide such documentation to that effect as may be requested by the Plan Administrative Committee to assist it in its
determination. The amounts distributed due to an Unforeseeable Emergency cannot exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into
account the extent to which such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause
severe financial hardship). 
 7.2 Withdrawal of Matching Contributions Account. A Participant is not permitted to withdraw any
amounts from the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account while still an Employee. 
 ARTICLE VIII. Breaks in Service.

Retirement, and before the Employee is credited with two Years of Participation, or three Years of Service. If a former Employee again becomes an Employee the Employee’s Years of Service and Years of Participation shall be restored if the
Employee becomes an Employee before incurring five consecutive Breaks in Service, or if the Employee was at any time a Participant in the Plan, and 
 (a) the Employee is credited with a Year of Service after the Employee’s prior Years of Service were canceled; and

incapable of receiving benefits to which such person is entitled by reason of age of minority, illness, infirmity, or other incapacity, it may direct that payment be made directly for the benefit of such person or to any person selected by ARAMARK
to disburse it, whose receipt shall be a complete acquittance therefore. Such payments shall, to the extent thereof, discharge all liability of ARAMARK, the Company, and the party making the payment. 

12.4 Tax Withholding. Distributions from the Plan may be subject to tax withholding for Federal, state, and local taxes. Participant, by
agreeing to participate in the Plan, consents to the timely withholding of such taxes, either through a reduction in the amount of the distribution, withholding from other amounts payable by Company to Participant, including salary and bonus
payments, or by payment to ARAMARK in cash of an appropriate amount in taxes. 
 12.5 Applicable Law. Except as provided by
Federal law, the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
 12.6
Effective Date. The foregoing provisions of this Plan shall apply to individuals (or beneficiaries of individuals) who are Employees on or after the Effective Date, except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan. The rights of any other
individual (or beneficiary) shall be determined by the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date of such individual’s latest Separation from Service except as may be provided by specific reference in any amendment adopted thereafter.

 12.7 SEC Rule 16b-3. Transactions pursuant to this Plan are intended to come within the exemptions provided by SEC Rule 16b-3
(or any successor provision) with respect to persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to the full extent provided thereby. Any provision required by such Rule to be set forth in this Plan is incorporated
herein by reference, and any inconsistent provision herein (other than Section 11.1) is superseded. 
 12.8 Deferred Compensation
Provisions. This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. In furtherance thereof, no payments may be accelerated under the Plan
other than to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of the Plan violates Section 409A of the Code such that amounts would be taxable to a Participant prior to payment or would otherwise
subject a Participant to a penalty tax under Section 409A, such provision shall be automatically reformed or

stricken to preserve the intent hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of a Participant’s Separation from Service the Participant is a Specified
Employee and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such Separation from Service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code,
then the Company shall defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant) until the date that is six months following
the Participant’s Separation from Service (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code) and (ii) if any other payments due to a Participant hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional
tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in
a manner, determined by the Committee, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Committee shall implement the provisions of this Section 12.8 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee, nor any of the
Company’s or its Affiliates’ employees or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 12.8.
